THE COLUMBIA PHOENIX. "tho Empty Oradle. In th? lonely, quiet chamber, There's aa empty cradle-bee*, With jMyiat npeu tb? pillow Of amby's shining head. 'Tis a fair and dainty cradle; Downy soft the pillows white; Bat within the blankets folded. Lies no little form to-night. Once the mother sat beside it, When the day was growing dim, .. And her pleasant voice was singing Soft and low, a ?radi? hymn, ff ow there's no saoro need of singing, When tho "evening shadows era ap, Por the oradla-bed ia empty And the baby gone to sleep! Little bead, that used to nestle In the pillows, white and soft; Little bauds, whose restless fingers Folded there ii drears so oft; Lips we pressed with fondest kies > Kyee we praised for pnrest ray Underneath '.? church yard daisie? They have hid you au away. Ahl the empty, useless cradlel We will pot it oat of sight, Last eur hearts should grieve too sorely - For the little one to-night. Wa will think.how aafe forever, lu tne better feld above. That young lamb for which we sorrow FesUlh now in Jesu?' lore. How TO BE UNHAPPY.-In the first place, if you want to be ? miserable, be selfish.. Think ail the time of yourealf and of your own things. Do not care about anybody else. Have no feeling for any 6M but yourself. Never think of enjoy? ing the satisfaction of seeing others happy; but rather; if ; ou eoe a smiling face, bc jealous, lest another should enjoy what you have not. Eavy every one who is better off, in any respect, than yourself; think unkindly towards them and speak ill of them. Be constantly afraid lest some one should encroach upon your rights; be watchful against it, and if any .one come near your things, snap at bim like a mad dog. Contend earnestly for everything that ia your own, though it may not be worth * dime, for rights ave just as much con? cerned asif it were a pound of gold. Never yield a point. Be very* seuailiVe, and take everything that ia said to you in playful? ness, ia the serious manner. Be jealous of your friends, lest they should not think enough of you. And if at any time they teem to neglect you, put the worst const ruc? tion upon their conduct you oatt. 1-- ... BABY AHD THC SUM BE AU.-A. bady ?ot old enough te apeak or walk wac creeping on .the floor. By-and-by a bright ray of auii-iight fail upon the* carpet. She look? ed at it, and crept all around it, with the greatest curiosity in her sweet face; and then, putting down her lips, she kissed it. Now, was not that beautiful? The lillie .unbeam lighted up joy ia ber baby-heart, ?rai ehe expressed that joy with a kt?. We do uot like negative mao, bot a man may be ? great deal toe positive. SSSSB??BSBSSSS-__(?_-p___s_ THB SIMPLE SKCEET.-Twenty clerk* m ?store. Twenty "bands'' in sprinting office. Twenty apprentices in a ship-yard. Twenty young men about a Tillage. All want to get on in the world, and all expect to do so. On* of the clerks will rise to be partner, and make a fortune. One of the compositors will own a newspaper and be-1 come an influential and prosperous citizen. One of the apprentices will come to be a master-builder. Que of the young villagers will get a handsome farm and live like a patriarch. But which is destined to be the lucky individual ? Lucky! There is no lnok about it. The thing is almost as certain as the rule of three. The young fellow who will distance his competitors is be who masters bis business, who preserv.es his integrity, who lives cleanly and purely, who never gets into debt, and who gain* friends by deserving them. There are some ways to fortune that look shorter than thia old, dusty highway. But the staunch men of the community, the men who achieve something really worth having, good for? tune, good name, and serene old age, all ero this road.
