BEAUTY AND INNOCENCE.
JJY 1SDW. J. POUTER.
The rosy hours of childhood,
How beautiful they seem,
While glides life's fairy shallop,
Like the spirit of a dream?
Ere the bright blue sky of pleasure
Hath one gloomy cloudlet known ;
Ere the heart's pure spirit-breathings
Profaned by earth hath grown.
All the loveliness of childhood,
What is it but the rav
Of heaven which still tarries
Around life's early day,
Ere the birthright signet, given
To mark a brighter sphere,
Grows darkly dim, and vanishes
Beneath each earth-stain here'/
How pure the thoughts of childhood !
In life's unshadowed hours
They float amid a fairy land
Of Zephcrs and of flowers.
As float the sunbeams lightly
O'er the glancingsof a stream?
The rosy hours of childhood.
How beautiful they stem!
There is an immense deal of human
nature in the following verse :
Of all my father's family,
I love myself the best ;
So providence provides for me
The d?1 take the rest.

Flesh turned to Stone.?The London
correspondent of the Boston Atlas
states that Dr. Sitvestrc, an Italian, has
revived the discovery of "a method of
hardening, even to the consistency or
rather solidity of marble, any organized
substance." He is further said to have
exhibited, among other specimens of his
skill "a woman's head, with the hair
parted and dressed, the hair retaining its
flexible proprieties and color, although
the surface from which it grew resembled
stone." There was also a child's
hand plump ana dimpled as in lite, but
cold, semi-transparent, and ringing
like marble when struck. A piece of
liver, oi its deep, rich, chocolate brown
color, somewhat resembled red granite,
and a petrified tongue appeared as if it
never could have omitted a sound. It
was literally " a tongue in stone."
The learned Doctor says, that so cheap is
the process, that at a very small expense
our dead friends may be turned <
into stone. This process throws entirely
into the shade the Egyptian art of
embalming.
Stated Prayer.?There is no
religion without prayer. Have
stated times for devotion. At
least begin and end every day
with God. Take time from sleep,
rfltlipp than want nrnnpr limp f'nr
prayer. Watch against formality
in your devotions. It is hearvfelt
prayers that are alone!1 acceptable
to God. Besides your intercourse
with God at stated seasons, often
look up to him, and ever go with
him in the name of Jesus. Go into
your closet, and down upon your
knees with as much reverence, as
if you beheld the blessed God.
You require to be often reminded
of this. For whether in childhood,
in youth 01* in manhood, we
are all too apt to have a wandering
heart in prayer, and repeat an
outward form with the lips, but
with a heart alas, far from God.
Oh! pray against heartlessness,
as one of the most powerful temptatifina
nf irrkiir cnipitnul onomit
tlbDIWiau v? A J U|7U IbUUl V/IIUU1J
Could you ascend into heaven every
morning and evening to offer
your devotions to the Most High,
and then return to earth again,
what a life of holiness you would
lead ! What fervent prayer and
thanksgiving would you offer?
consider that the eyes of the Lord
are in every place, beholding the
evil and the good,and that "all
things are naked and open before
him with whom we have to do."
it is by affliction chiefly that
the heart of man is purified, and
that his thoughts are fixed upon a
better state.
Would'st thou learn to die no*
bly ? Let thy vices die before th^e.
Happy is he who endeth the businp.ss
of his life before his death*
who, when the hour of it cometh,
hath nothing else to do but to die;
who wisheth no delay, because he
has no longer use for his time.
To win a soul is your noblest
prize, and the greater number you
win, the greater and richer will be
that crown of rejoicing which you
will wear in the day of the Lord.
Watson.
Fearful {Situation.?a ivi m
suspended, in tue air by the Thumb.
?A Mr. Gray, of Providence,
painter of the Congregational
meeting House, in Kingston, It. I.,
last week ascended the steeple to
take off the vane for gilding, and
having left the ladders, climbed
the iron spire to the distance ol
12 to 15 feet above, relying upon
the ball, half way up the spire, to
rest his feet on, and Irorn which
position he could take the vane
off with his right hand. While he
was in the very act, the ball on
which his feet rested gave way and
ran down the spire. At this moa
i
iiiviii in: wns iriisiug lilt; v<iur
over the end of it.; us he did so,
the spire growing smaller, made a
convenient, place for his thumb to
keep the balancer in the gudgeon
bore, when the ball gave way unlet
him and sunk. The vane falling
back with his thumb in the
gudgeon tiore, held him fast, with
his feet dangling in the air. He
remained in this perilous situation
until a man asccn led the spire,
and placing his shoulder under
his feet, at once releived him.
The scene was tirrible to behold.
Treasures in Heaven.?In heaven
are deposited all your treasures
: and to what spot is a man's
heart so ready to return, as to that
where his richest treasures lie?
You arc the " heirs of God," *4 begotten,
to an inheritance incorruptible
and undetiled and that fadcth
not away, reserved in heaven for
}'ou." What have you to do with
flust who have such a 44 hope laid
up for you in heaven?" You are
called unon to reioiee and be ex
a ? a
ceeding glad," " and leap for joy.
for great is your reward in heaven."
But how can you " leap tor joy" in
view of your inheritance, if you do
not send your thoughts to survey
it ? With such a treasure in heaven,
will you brood over your poverty
here, over your lands and
shops, and lose the present enjoyments
of that inheritance ?
Grijffin.
Silence os the Peairibs.?One
of the most striking things is the
silence of the prairies. It is absolutely
awful. At night, when the
moon has gone down, and the stars
are all out, to stand in the centre
of one of these mammoth plains,
and mark the deep unbroken silence
that surrounds you, is sublimely
impressive. 1 never witnessed
any effect like it. Not a
solitary sound can be heard?no
insect, no bird, no beast, no human
voice or step?but all is one space
of grand and fearful silence. Such
a spot, far from the haunts of congregated
multiiudes, becomes to
the good man like the glorious
Bethel where the journeying
patriarch slept.
The Perfection of Thieving.?
They have some expert thieves in
Mi: s iuri, if we are to believe trie
St. Louis American, which states
that a man lately carried a saw-log
to a mill, that it might be cut into
hoards. The mill was engaged
for that day. and ihe owner would
not ensure the. salety of the log
until next morning, unless the customer
would sit astride of it to
watch it all night. The man
agreed to do so, but fell into a
slight dose sometime in the night
which the thieves took advantage
of. and stole the wood of the log
without, snsnininn. and lftft. I hp
man astride of th? bark !
That'll do Mr. American : take
the hat and say no more ahout it*

Advices from Naples to June
27th, state that Mount Vesuvius
vv is in full eruption, and vomiting
forth masses of lava with great
noise. During the night the flames
presented a magnificent spectacle.
The steamer Radnor containing 60
tons of government stores, bound from
St Louis to Fort Leavenworth, was lo*t

Mltsquitoes?Good if true.?
Parley's Magazine contains the
following: * 1 o get rid of these
tormentors, take a lew hot coals
on a shovi-l or a chafing dish, and
burn up??n the in <ome brown suy^ir
in your bed room and parlors, an?l

" Blind ! what, do you mean V*
" Why, while 1 wor in the room,

A letter from Adjutant General
Jones, states that the Court martial
proceedings in the case of
Capt. S. B. Thornton, 2nd Dragoons,
have comc to hand. They
exhibit the gratifying fact that he
is acquitted of all the charges on
which he was tried.
