PLEASURE is to woman what the sun is to the flower. If moderately enjoyed it beautifies, it refreshes, and it improves; if immoderately, it withers, desolates, and destroys. But the duties of domestic life, exercised, as they must be, in retirement, and calling forth all the sensibilities of a woman, are, perhaps, as necessary to the full development of her charms, as the shade and the shower are to the rose, confirming its beauty and increasing its fragrance. IF we are cheerful and contented, all nature smiles with us; the air seems more balmy, the sky more clear, the ground has a brighter green, the trees have a richer foliage, the flowers a more fragrant smell, the birds sing more sweetly, and the sun, moon and stars all appear more beautiful. ONE of the most important rules of the science of manners is an almost absolute silence in regard to yourself. 15 T 6 22 5 38 7 24 4 29 11 26 3 57 7 18 4 16 W 6 18 6 257 24 4 29 morn 4 48 7 18 4 17 T 6 14 7 12 7 254 29 0 38 5 42 7 18 F 6 12 8 2 7 254 29 1 51 19 S 33 10 57 11 4 7 114 38 8 3 811 54 7 114 38 9 12 19 morn 7 124 38 10 22 0 43 7 134 39 11 29 1 35 7 134 39 morn 2 30 7 14 4 49 0 38 3 267 144 40 1 48 4 25 7 15 4 41 3 0 5 27 7 15 4 41 4 15 6 28 7 154 42 5 31 7 26 7 164 42 rises. 8 207 164 43 5 8 34 11 28 34 morn 19 4 34 0 38 6 39 7 194 34 1 50 7 40 7 204 35 3 3 20 S 6 3 9 53 7 264 30 4 24 8 41 7 20 4 35 4 19 21 M 5 59 10 55 7 27 4 31 5 43 9 42 7 214 36 5 37 22 T 5 55 12 07 27 4 31 rises. 10 42 7 214 36 rises. 5 51 morn 7 284 32 4 52 11 38 7 224 37 5 0 1 4 7 284 32 ev.31 7 224 37 6 13 7 19 1 23 7 22 4 38 7 24 10 2 58 7 294 33 8 30 2 11 7 234 38 8 33 10 53 7 17 4 448 37 3 47 7 29 4 34 9 35 2 55 7 234 39 9 38 11 39 7 174 45 9 40 4 327 29 4 34 10 38 3 38 7 234 39 10 40 ev.24 7 18 4 45 10 41 5 13 7 294 35 11 40 4 217 23 4 4011 40 1 8 7 18 4 46 11 40 57 244 41 morn 1 51 7 18 4 47 morn 6 337 304 370 41 5 52 7 24 4 42 0 40 2 38 7 194 48 0 39 Moon Apogee, 4th; Perigee, 21st; Highest, 23d; Lowest, 10th. The story of Dr. Mountain and the witty Charles II. is strongly characteristic of the times. A bishopric being vacant, Charles happened to ask his chaplain, Dr. Mountain, whom he should appoint. "Why, sire," says the latter, "if your majesty had but faith I would tell you whom." "How so," said the king, "if I had but faith?" "Why, in that case, your Majesty might say to this Mountain, Be thou removed into the sea.". CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. SUMMARY. ARTICLE I. SECTION 1. Legislative powers; in whom vested.

No person, except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this constitution, shall be eligible to the office of president; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States. 6.
