J7 It is a great blessing to possess; buoyant, cheers ful and sanguine' disposition-ra mind and bart; which are aJ way disposed to look upott; tW Jirighfc side of life, and to hope and fancy amidst darkness? and gloom, - that better and happier days, brighter! and fairer prospects, are, iitjjhand.fWs :knW"?is individual whose everi,.tempeiiJwhose xhftustfess and irrepressible fun4 of good nature have borne? hinr up through many sserious diffieultyjrrandf carV' ried him ia safety and prosperity, -far bayond thev snoais ana., qmcksands, winch beset find eavirofL business life: .He is a pushing, go ahead dharactcr? rather haphazard in his enterorisess and hence has been m inora than OTewftdiJejnmi--But although puzzled and perplexed hp was always: ready, to... take i advantage , .uf, jthe-first: -ebangfit for . the better, was ever on the look out,; aacj never permitted himself to despond or despair. litviwi Hi philosophy in the, first place is, fthat what has been, may be; again that fortunes ar?:ad-9 ily won- under existing circumstances, as Xbey welrA.. years ago; and in. the second, that whateveroccursr is the result of the operation of a wise and superui? tending Providence, and will, m Jhe ea, prove tw for the best - Thus, he says, that "misfortunes ra? often blessings in disguise." .They are Intended; to chasten the spirit, humble the pride to maka maka-man - man maka-man .recognise his dependence upon, and resportsi-i bility to, the Deity. We, he argues, cannot fathom; tne designs of the All-Wise, nor imagine the meansi by, which He works.; We know that it is our duty; to act uprightly, to cultivate the gentler as welL -t the sterner virtues to deal fairly with our neighbors to. sympathize with and assist, - our suffering' fcfe low-creature to the extent of our means, to make aT wise and a proper use of the physical and -the mental faculties enjoyed by us, end having dona this. w may feel convinced that come weal or cotrw woe that let darkness sadden; or sunshine brighten our way .au is or the best, and all will, in the nd, be as it should- be. - - ..',. -,--. - v , -!.., In brief, our friend has' faith in Providence faith in the ultimate triumph of industry and in tegrity. It is this that buoys him , up -under al circumstances. If depressed this year-be. -hope to be exalted the neit .If unfortunate in soma undertaking which he has conducted Juirly, and honestly, he regards' the matter J with., as much. philosophy . as possible, looks calmly and quieUjt around laughs at the solemn and hypocritical pressions of the croaking and desponding, feels -an inward consciousness that he at least, has merited something better, and a. reliance that, sooner; or later, prosperity will again dawn upon iim,, and that thus all will prove for the best- .j, iV . r Let there, however, be no misconception of this doctrine. We mean to be .understood as undnir. that an individual who acts concientiously uprightly. as a man . and a christian who is industrious, well tempered and presevering -who, in brief, ex erts himself to the utmost to discharge all his duties; is neither a drone, an idler nor a drunkard, will, in the end and in the great majority of cases, come out triumphant He may be compelled to submit to many troubles, may experience, many reverses; but it carely happens that the cheerful, tie patient and the presevering will always find themselves s among the unfortunate, will always be ; compelled to drag through life, pressed to tiie eartliwjih Sor Sorrow, - row, Sorrow, Ruin and Misery dogging ttheir, -foot-steps.. Some, we admit, are subjected to a very :firey or deal. :, We have known cases in which years.ot toil and integrity have brought appearently littje or bo fruit .But these, we repeat, are rare, and for sucli the reward and the consolation will be foundjia' a brighter and abetter-, world, .r But, . while, among the children of men, it is policy as well as wisdom., to be as cheerful, buoyant and perse veringf as." jjo's sible, to regard occasional vicissitude as-part of tho inevitaoie portion oi poor numan nature to manliest courage in difficulty, endurance jw friaI-tb,ioprt and believe that all is for thebestand thus to strug struggle - gle struggle energetically from day- to day' to oprcome the troubles by which we are surrouiKled. , ; There is one great error, which wefearnduces many a bankruptcy and leads to many a. case, .of ruin. We allude to the disposition of.so many tp shrink from the contemplation of their real position, to avoid a bold interview, if we may so express it, with.their early misfortunes, and combined with this, a weakness which, deceiving its victim, induces him to fancy that affairs are by no mean so bad as apprehensions would m ike them. " In brief, it is that want of moral cnerve. s which cannot look trouble in the face which avoids . and' shrinks a a-way - way a-way from it, and thus permits it gradualty , .tq ,ohr tain an overpowering mastery, :? -;: . : !

The Female Temper We like to see a woman of spirit and life; for a dull, supine,-prosy woman is a poor affair indeed. And we have no particular objection to seeing tha "sparks flying occasionally," when something really stirring occurs We like to see her joyful and live ly; and if she has a little spice of waggery, we can put up with it very well ; nay, we like it all the bet ter. But a cross, sour temper we have no good opinion of, for a woman who can never look pleas pleasant, - ant, pleasant, but is always fretting and scolding, will make an unhappy home tor all within her house. And we had as lief undertake to live in a barrel of vine vinegar - gar vinegar in a thunder storm, as to live in a house with such a woman; Solomon was right when he said, "It is better to live in the corner of a house-top than to dwell in a wide house with a brawling woman." Let a woman wear sunshine on her contenance, and it will drive the dark clouds from her husband's face, and joy will thrill through the hearts of her children. Let a woman's words be soothing and kind, and everything is happy around her.' Her influence will be powerful. . Others will catch her sweet temper! and will strive1 to see who can be most like her. r Sweetness of temper in a woman is more valuable than gold, and more to be prized than beauty. But may Heaven keep ns from an untamed shrew whose looks are wormwood and whose words are gall ! We had rather take Dan iel's place with the lions, than to think of living in gunshot of such a termagant If women " knew their power and wished to exert it, they wonld al ways show sweelness of temper, for then they are irresistible.

We were not long since much amused bv a coup le of Hoosier girls, who came aboard the steamer at the little town of Mt v ernon, Indiana. They had evidently never been a thousand miles from home, and were making their first trip on steamboat The elder one was exceeding talkative, and perfectly free and unconcerned, with regard to the many eyes that. were scanning her movements. ihe other was of the opposite turn of mind, mean ed to bash fulness. -At dinner our ladies were hon ored with a seat at the head of the table, and th eldest one, with her usual independence, cut her bread into small pieces and with her, fork reached over and enrolled each mouthful in the nice dress dressing - ing dressing on a plate of beef-steak before her. The pas passengers - sengers passengers preserved their gravity during this opera tion by dint of great effort : Perceiving that he sister was not very forward in helping herself, she turned round to her and exclaimed loud enough to be heard by half the table "Sil,dip into the gra vy Dad pays as much as anu on 'em!" This was followed by a general roar, in which the cap tain led off. The girls arrived at their , place of destination before snipper, and when thev left th boat, all hands gave three cheers for" the girls of the Hoosier btate. v; -.n 5. .- : The Newspaper Doff. . .Our neiehbor of the E ven ing Gazette has recent ly referred to a sagacious dog, owned by Mr. Hawes, of this city, who comes regularly to the 'Traveler" Counting Room, every afternoon, and putting his paws upon the counter, receives his master's paper, and is off for the store. - This same dog has other ways of his own, which are often amusing, though occasionally a little troublesome. Like his biped as associates - sociates associates in this world of bustle and hurry, he re requires - quires requires to be waited on with the least possible de delay; - lay; delay; and if he is not attended to, he is quite likely to help himself, often making reprisals on us for our inattention, by t'iking from the pile of papers a mouthful, perhaps half a dozea He seems to have very imperfect ideas between meum and tuum as much as any person on 'change. If, therefore, on coming to:our counter, he finds it bare of papers, he cftsts an imploring look around the room, and if a luckless boy loiters with a paper in his han'J, to watch the movements of the sagacious animal, the dog will seize the coveted paper, and be off, before the astonished boy has time to rescue his stolen property. . We are often reminded - by the-"move-menta of this intelligent quadruped of the favorite saying of a certain queer old fellow : "There is a great deal of human nature in-beasts." 1 ' ' Boston Traveler.

Eleven miles of Plank Road toward Rome and B'ort Ball are completed and the entire structure will be completed next year.. This will bring us the treasuries of one of , the richest grain-growing countries in Ohio the incipient steps are about be being - ing being taken to insure the running a line of Propellers, (owned liere) regularly between- this ;and Buffalo and Fremont is certain to grow rapidly.: One year after the completion of these enterprises will witness the erection of one hundred new buildings within our corporate limits. , Now, therefore, is the proper time for persons from abroad to come in and invest their money, as real estate is low, and must advance 33 to SO per cent within a few months.' Fremont enjoys several advantages not possess possessed - ed possessed by any other town in this section of the country, and they are such as no progress of events can wrest from it Its location is, and always must be, cen central, - tral, central, for a section of country from fifteen to thirty miles in all directions,- and whenever the Great Western Railroad is continued, it is certain to come here, because there is no other feasible route for it. These two considerations of themselves, are suffi sufficient - cient sufficient to make it a large town. Its position at the head of navigation on the Sandusky river, together with its Plank roads, will necessarily make it one of the greatest grain and produce marts in all north northern - ern northern Ohio.... No town but Milan, will compete at all with it in this respect In addition, a trifling ex expense - pense expense will bring Green Creek into our midst, and give us an almost illimitable water-power. ' One of the Weddings. A few years ago, there arrived, at a hotel in Bos ton, a couple from Rhode Island who came to get joined, quietly, in the bonds of matrimonr. ' As soon as they were fairly domicilated, the would-be bridegroom who was a rough; but apparently honest specimen of the country Yankee sent for the proprietor ot tne hotel, who quickly answesed his summons. "Say, landlord," proposed the stranger pointing to his modest dulcinea, in the corner of the parlor, "ibis is my young woman. Naow we've come all the way from Rhode Island and we want to be spliced. Send for a minister, will yer? Want it dun up, rite straight off." 1 he landlord smiled and wentout,'and half an hour afterwards a licensed minister made his ap pearance, and the obliging host, with one - or two waggish friends were called in as witnesses to the scene. , . , ' "Naow Mr. Stiggins," said the Yankee, "due It up braown, arid yure money's ready;" and forth forthwith - with forthwith the reverend gentleman commenced, by di directing - recting directing the parties to join their hands. , The Yan Yankee - kee Yankee stood up to his blushing lady loe, like a sick kitten hugging a hot brick, seized her hand, and was as much pleased as a raccoon might be sup posed to be with two tails. " -" - "You promise, Mr. A." said the parson to take this woman Yaas," said the Yankee at once. "To be your lawful and wedded wife." "Yaas yaas." ' ; "That you will love and honor her, in all things. "Yaas." - - -. . "That you will cling to her, and her only so long as you both shall live. "laas,' added nothin' else!" continued the Yankee, in the most delighted and earnest manner, but here the reverend clergyman: halted much to the surprise of all present, and more especially to the annoyance and discomfiture ot the intended bridegroom. "Yaas yaas, I said," added the Yankee. : "One moment, my friend," responded the Minis Minister, - ter, Minister, slowly, for it suddenly occurred to him that the laws of Massachusetts did not permit of this per performance, - formance, performance, without the observance a publishment, &c.,' for a certain length of lime.'

"And that you will cling to him, so long as you both shall live?" . . "That's the talk !" said John ; and the lady said "yes," again. " Then in presence of the witnesses, I pronounce you man and wife."
