“ I HAVE No Irurt.us:tIcs:."—"I have no influence," I heard seine one say the other day. Now be who may say or think so, is blinded to his own character. nnd that of others. No being can live in this world witlrotit influencing one or more fellow-beings_ either for good or evil. Very seldom is it too, that one alone is tiffected; more frequently it whole circle is moved by a thoughtless sentence. Nay, it won! from a person scarcely noticed by his fellow mortals, may move it train ofthought iii the mind of auotlter. who ma be one who will "‘ turn the world upside down.” More than this; a look, one look without a work, one motion of the hand without it sound. inny kindle energies for good or evil.

And here is the great point—for good or for evil; if for good. the and gained ntny be heaven; if for evil, it is everlasting despair! Not one in this wide world. however obscure, who ltas u iiiirtd, but influences the one or many who see or hear him. This fact gives to influence its peculiar responsibility. It is an endowment super- ndded to the exercise of our talents, which passes on to immortality amidst obligations increasing and unending.

Therefore, let that boy or girl at school, even though but eight or nine years old, take care ! You may say some word to that thong tless boy at your side, which will make him give up the use oftvicked words, and try to grow up a useful ntnn.—-Or you may. without ll word, show him something that will tempt him to do an evil dced, which may and in a life of crime ! Dear child, beware!

0 young man, I want a voice of thunder to startle you into a re- ality of your influence over others ! but I only breathe one word- rgfrain. If you will not do what your inner voice tells you is wrong, you may save yourself and ninny others. Touch not the electric chain of evil, and no shock will be felt from you through the circle with which you come in contact. Thus your influence will he apparently negative, but positivcl great.

And woman, too, has much to do wit influence and its power. I would mention but one of the many nths open to lter, for from this she is never shot out—prayer. he may not lift her head among the graceful and the gay-—-she may not stand on the plat- form of politics or of scicnce—she may not be able to lay her hand on lieaps of gold and press them to her heart; but wltctlter crowned with all that woman ever possesses, or with nothing given her but a soul. she can prity, at all times, in all places. \Vitlt this, heaven it.Ii-lfcun be moved.

Dcur reader, whoever, whatever, wlir-rerer you may be, you can never say, “ I have no inflneitce.” \\'liilo you live, you can never be without it.—P/‘esbylrrian Treasury (.1rri.)

Tits Yovtvo Lanv Ann THE \Vin:.—A lady should ap- pear to think well of books, rather than to speak well of them; she may show tltc eiigziging light that good taste and sensibility always ililliise over conversation; she may give instances ofgreat and of- fecting passagcs, because they show the fineness of her imagination, or the goodriess of ltcr heart, but all criticism beyond this, sits ntvktvurdly ttpon her. She should know more than she displays, because it gives her unnfii-ctcd powers in discourse; for the saute reason that it mnn's efforts are easy and firm, when his action re- quires not his full strength. She should, by habit, form her mind to the noble and pathetic; and she should have an acquaintance with the fine arts, because they enrich and beautify the imagination; but she should carefully kee them out of view in the shape oflearning, and let them run tlirougli the easy vein of unprsmeditated thought; for this reason she should seldom use, and not always appear to understand the terms ofart; the gentlemen will occasionally explain them to her. I knew a lady of address, who. when any term ofart was mentioned, oltvays turned to the gentleman she had a mind to compliment, and, with uncommon grace. asked him the meaning; by this means, she ave tnen the air of superiority they like so well, while she held t em in chains. No humor can be more deli- cate than this, which lays upon the tyrant, who requires an ac- ltiiowlcdgment of superiority of sense, as well as power, from the weaker sex !

A lady sportin her learning. and introducing her verses upon all occasions, remin s one ofa woman who has a fine band and arm, a

retry foot, or a beautiful set of teeth, and who is not satisfied with citing them appear as nature and custom authorize, but is perpetu- ally intruding her separate pcrfections into notice. If a woman neglects the duties oflicr family and the care of her children—if she is loss amiable as a wife. mother. or mistress. because she has talents or itcqnirenicnts, it would be far better if she were without them; and when she displays that she has more knowledge than her husband, she shows at least, that no woman cart have less than her- self.

'l‘ltcrc is no great need of enforcing upon an unmarried lady the itccessity of being agreeable, ttor is there any great art requisite in n _\oiitlifii| beauty to enable her to please. Nature has iitultiplied attractions around her. Youth is in itself attractive. The fresh- nr-s.-i of budding beauty needs no aid to set it oil‘; it pleases merely because it is freslt, and building. and beautiful. llut it is for the riiariiml state that l| woman needs the most instruction. and in which she would be rtiost on lIt.'l' guard to maintain her powers of pleasing. No tvornaii cart expect to he to her husband all that he fancied her \\lIt.'lI rt lover. .\ler. are always duped, not so mncli by the arts of the sex, as by their own iiiiaginutirrns. They are always wooing godilcssr-s, and mitrrying mere ttiortnls. A woman should, there- liirr-, iisct-rtain what was the cbitrrn that rendered her so fascinating tvlii.-n it girl, and endeavour to keep it as a wife. One great thing im- tloubti.-rlly was, the chariness of herselfuntl her conduct, which an uniniriried fa-male always observes. She should maintain the same iiiceness and reserve in her person and habits, and endeavour still to preserve it frcsliness niid t.lr.-licacy in the eyes of her husband. Slit-. sltoiild rcnierirltcr that the province ttfn woman is to be wooed, not to woo; to be caressed, not to caress. Man is an ungrateful being in love; bounty loses rather than wins hint.

I.\'TE.\lI‘EllANCE or Gasa-r r‘\li:n.—-'I‘lie biographies of some ofthe most distinguished literary characters ofthis and other countries, present lamentable examples of the direful effects of alcoholic liquors on the intellect. The national injury tltns snstaiiicd may be corisiilt-rctl llt it two fold point of view : that is, in the first place, from the partial incapacity for mental labours which is thereby produced ; and secondly. the prema- ture mortality of men whose mental exertions might 0|lt€I’WI>'8 have greatly benefited their country. llyron and lluriis form proiriinent examples. Prior. according to his biography, was not free from the charge of intcmperance. Dr. King states that Pope hastened his end by drinking spirits. Pope remarks that Parnell “ was a great follower of drums, and strangely open am! scandalous iit his debauclierics," all are agreed, that "he became a sat, and finished his existence." Dryden, in his youthful days, was conspicuous for sobriety, " but for the last ten years of ltislife,” ubacrves Dennis, “lie was much tlcqllallllctl with Addison, and drunk with him even more than he ever used to do, prohabl so far as to hasten his end.”- “ Covi-lcy's death," remarks Pope, “ was occasioned by I mean accident, while his great friend. Dean Pratt, signs on aviait with him at Cltertscy. They had been together to see a neighbour of (‘owley's, who, according to the fashion of the times, made them too welcome. They did not set oitt on their walk home, till it was too late, and had drunk so deep, they lay out in the fields all night. Tltis gave Cowley the fever and carried birn off.” 'I‘he immortal Shakspeare also fell a victim to tire same direful habit.

I-‘.i.t:c1-arc 'I‘ar.coann East-.—Mr. Hyd has commenced his operations on the telegraph line hence to the straits of Conan. At last accounts, the posts were erected from Ten Mile housé, West River. to some distance beyond New Glas- gow. We are infurtned that in conacquerce ofthe ehur|ish- ncss of one individual, who refused to allow the posts to be sutilt on his property, the llne has been carried from the and of the bridge over the bill, g0l'fllIlIIIIOIIll|. with the main pert road by a bye-way. instead of goiu through New Glasgow, as originally intended. It is expected thlt the line will becom- pleted to the straits of Csuo_ iasbeut a fortnight from this

r

time. The carrying of it across the strait is likely to be a for midable undertalting.—lt will require 1 mast on the Cape Breton side 305 feet in height, and on this side. at Cape Por- cupine, the wire will be put on a post of the ordinary height, the land being so much more elevated than on the other side. Mr. Hyde has brought on an engineer from the United States, it Mr. Thomson, who passed through Pictou on Monday last. to commence his operations in erecting the mast and carrying over the wire.—Tho distance across is about half a mile. It will require some six or eight weeks to complete the work, and it is expected to cost from £600 to £800’. We understand Mr. Thomson entertains no doubt of the practicability of the plan, as be has already overcome difficulties more formidable as respects the distance, on some of the lines in the United States. The great difliculty here is the height of the mast, and the immense amount of fastening required to secure it. We presume the communication will be opened at once be- tween Picton and the straits of Causo. with an otlice at Anti- gonish. and one at New Glasgow or the Albion Mines.- East. Chroo.
