This is a simple song, 'tis true, And songs like those are nc,-r nice; And yet we'll try and scatter through A pinch or two of good advice. Then listen, pompous friend, and learn Never to boast of much renown; For fortune's wheel is on the turn, And some go up and some come down. We know a vat :mount of stocks, A vast amount of pride insures; But fate lis picked so many locks We wouldn't like to warrant yours. Remember, then, and never spurn The one whose hand is hard and brown; For lie is likely to go up, And you are likely to come down. Another thing you will agree, . (The truth miiay be as well coifessed.) That " codfish aristocracy " Is but a " scaly " thing at best. And though the fishes large and strong May seek the little ones to drown, Yet fishes all, both great and small, Are going up and coming down. Our lives are full of chance and change, And " chance," you know, is never suro, And 'twere a doctrine new and strange That places high are most secure. And though the fickle god may smile, And yield the screptre and the crown, 'Tis only for a little while; Then B goes up and A comes down. This world for you and me, my'friend, llath something 1iore than pounds and pence; Then let us hunably recuimnend A little use of cnon sense; Thus lay all pride and place aside, And have a care on whom you frown, For fear you'll see him going up, When you are only coming down. .lN AWKWARD PREDIUIENT1. I was once engaged to be married, (how went so.fhr as that is a marvel to mec still,) t ut anm incident of so frighttful a character ok place as to put the matter enttirely, (ut Efe'spnding thle sinmimer with a readmng ~arty at the Irish lakes, wvhen I met with-t vith' Lucy, and got, ini short, to be accepted. She wvas residingr with her mother, in the ameli hotel int 10:llarneiy, us ourselves, andt e all met every' dny. WVe boated oni thet ike together, anid lished, and sang. and read. \Ve lanided Ott the wooded islands in the o sunutuer evenings, to take our tea lit ~ipsy fhshion, and to sketch ; but she and I titly whispered-not about love ait all, as remember, but of' the we athet' and the ubie: ontly it seemied so sweet to sinik our ioices and speak low and soll'. Once, in a prty over the or, wie ~rond. I ,iught her hand byv mistake in- t tenl 't' her biridle, and she did not sitmtch away.

She took a fihney to a huge mas-% it' dog bielonging to a fisherman ; and I hoht it tier her at once althoug~h it ws .riir savadge, and (except for Lucy' lik ing it)'not either good or beautiful. Its onie, also--the only~ one it would anmswer o.-amd sometimes it would not to that-wa~s kwser ;not a name for a lady's pet, at 'ill. md searcely for at ge'ntleman's. Thler e wais :little seeluded field, h jged in by at cop-) lilly. which sloped into the lake, about am mile fromi the liotel; ;md there Lucy ag'reed (for the first timme) to hicet mue alone. I wsas o lie there before brceakftist, at eight o'clock in the morning and you may be sure I was~ there a't six--with Towser. Perhaps I was never happier than at this particular timte. The universal nature seemed in harmony with my liissful feelings. T1he sun shotne out bright and clear, so that the fresh morning breezes couild scarcely cool the pleasant throbbinigs of' my blood, but te blue rippling wvaves of the hake looked r'epressibl!y tempting. and I could not re sist a1 swim. J ust a pihmge and out agamn,1 thought I ; for though I had such plenty (ot te to spare, I determined to lie dr essead and ready fort the interview an hour at least icire tIme apipointed thae. Lucy might ike myself, lhe a little earlier; and at all events, withm such an awful consequence mI possible apprehensioni, I run the shadows ofa 'isk. " Mind nmy clothes, mind them,"said t Towsnr (who took his scat thereon, at one, sagaciously enough,) for I bad heard of' such things as clothes being stolena fr'oin nc'oscius dippers before then, with results not to lbe thought of'; nnd ini I we'nt. I re nmeber the delight of' that bath even~ to this day, thme glow, the f'reshniess, the huxu i''us soh'tness of' each piarticumlarm wave, just as the last view which his eyes rested on is pintited on the memory of' onec wvho has been stricken blind, or' t he last heard melody is treasured in that of' a muau stunniied deaf biy a full ;. it wsas amy last perfect pleasure, and suceded by a shock that I shall nfever, II thik quite( get oiver.I W hen I had biathed as long as I judged to e pruldenit, I landed and advanlced to vards the spot where my garments and Towser lay ; as I did so, every iindividual hair upon hback senmed to brnistle wvithm fr', his eyes kinadled with coals of' fire ; lie gave mue notice by a low, determined growvl that lie would spring on me and tear me iinto fragments if I approached nearer, it was evident that he did itot recognize me the least withouit my clothes "Tow, Tow,, Tow, Tow,"' said I pleasantly, "good old Tr , yo remember me:"' but thse bruted "We will cling to the Pillan of EDGEFI like the friend whom we have known in a better day, and applied to when in indiffer ent apparel only shook his head in a mena cing manner, and showed his teeth the more. " Towser, be quiet, sir; how dare you Tow, Tow, 'Tow, Towser-(here he nearly had a bit of my calf off)-you nasty, bru tal dog; go away, sir-go; ain't you ashamited of yourself !" Drops of foam oozed through the teeth of the ferocious monster as he stood up with tail erect at these reproving words, but he manifested no sign of remorse or sorrow. My situation became serious in the extreme ; what if lie choose to sit there. on my personal apparel, until-? At this idea, too terrible to be concluded, a profuse perspiration broke out all over me.' Presently feeling a little cold, I went back into the lake again to consider what was to be done, and resolving the fell de sign of enticing Towser into the water and there drowning him. Abuse and flattery being equally thrown away upon him, I tried stolns ; I heaved at hitm with all mv tirce the largest pebbles I could select, the majority of which he evaded by leapintg from side to side, and those which struck him rendered him so furious that I believe le would have killed and eat me if he could, whet her I was dressed or not, but he would aot venture into the water after ine still. At last, the time drawing on apaeo for he appointed interview which I had once ooked forward to with such delight, and ex pectatiol, I was fain, inl an agony of sheiame 111d rage, to hide inl a dry ditch in the neh oring copse, where I could see what took lace without bein'g seen. and there I cov red ayself over, like a 'babe in the wood, ith leaves. Presently my Licr came down, a trifle nte caretdi.lly dressed than usual, and look ng all grace and Modesty ; the dog began r howl as sh'e, drew near; she saw hi. and he saw iny clothes, and the notion tat I Vas drowned ([ could see it in her expres. ive countenance) flashed upon her at once ar one instant she looked as though about 0 faint, and the next she sped off again to lie hotel with the speed of ai deer. Gra 'ions haeave-ns ! I decided utpon rescuing a orton of myW garments at least, i' upon Oil erishing in the attemupt, and rushed out of ie thicket iar the purpose~C; bnL utmy coilrage tiled lme as I neared the savage animal, aind found myself (in somec confused and palpi iting mamer) Ibaek in my l!rv ditch again, ith the sensationi of a loss of blood and pain, at conasiderable loss, and the beast had bit f me severely. I protest. that, from that itomenft, fright'tul as liy paositioni was, it did t move me~t so imucih as the reflection of ie honors that would lhe .howered down on hat vile creature.

IT is not our purpose to write a homily on this subject ; but simply to call attention in a few plain remarks, to a wide-spread and -pornicious evir. Swearing, like drinking, is confined to no on1e Class, or condition of society. The young anld the old, persons of boik sexes-the rich and the poor, the learned and the ignorant, the bond and the free, are more or less guilty of the prac tice. Should the eye of a profane swearer light upon these lines, we respreetfully ask him to pause a mottient, and sriously ponder the ful lowing con.:ideration. Profale swearing is .foiiden Ly Od.

A North Carolina Court, enmlons of ac quiring a. farne erpqal to that of Massaebu setts two hundred years ago, and of Con necticut a little later-the one for her per secutions of witches and the other for her Blue Laws, has decided that Universalists I shall not le deemed compeltent witnesses in I a court of justice !' This is due to the pe culiar religious belief of' these people. We wonder th:t the North Carolinians left the task to a court and have not embodied the bigotry indicated by the ruling of the court in an enactment of the State Legishiture to be called-somewhat as follows: t " An act to increase all oneces against i the persons and property of the leple known as 1.niversalists-sueli as murder, robbery, forgery, brutal assaults, batteries, t obtaining goods under fhlme pretenses, viola tions of contract and all oth.:r acts ordina. t rilv considered crimes, and against the peace 1 oftthis commonwealth. and to convert the a I saille otleinetes; into harmiless arusmc'tnt."' n For the ruling of the court will have pre. cisely the efleet of 0nt ouraging cime aga.n4t h the class of' people against whom the deis. r ion of the court has been made. )oubtless ' it would give the judge great pleasure to set society back a century or two, and we dahre say that at times it must strike him with pe. culiar regrtt that there are no such exhilira- a ting spectacles as auto dafis now-a-days, at s1 which a judge could preside and rejoie his ' soul with the n1:ales of the heretics. It iS absurrd 11nd a disgrace to the age in C1 which we live to make a judicial oath de pend upon the religiols thith of any nie., 4t has heeI long, discovered by those vho have made the subject a study, that the purity if n the witness hoN and the s:uctity of the oath hl all cases, is 1reserved by the civil enact- P inents provid:g punh-meti nts for perjury, rL and that the thith ot men has no e!Yeet what- t ever. Those who would lie in court would lie any where, and those who are truthful outsidL of court-would never descetnd to filsehood in court. where they are far m c exposed to detection by coMsel than any where else.
