GOING UP AND COMING DOWN.
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. It wa~s the hteydey' anmd the prime

bought at least- leapt ouit to wed wsith

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

: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,,

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

ar one instant she looked as though about

found myself (in somec confused and palpi

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

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.

grounds of its utility-they te!s us, it warmsI
themna inl winter aind cools them in summer ; and
they are firaly p..rsuaded that PlM this is so!
But who ever heard a just. or even a sen:iaible

the use of profane language is profit:tle in any
way ? Til.c .-:warr hiimsl5e.-ItEknirs that it is ntot.

A BACKWARD MOVEMENT.
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
