3XILE8. A pleasant smile to light the eye, And fill tie heart with gladness, To chase away the tears of urief, And hush the sigh of sadness; To lend the face a fairer charn, A soul of love expressing, That to earth must diviuely bring A comfort and a blessing. Oh! smiles have power a world of good To Bing around as ever; Then let us wear their golden beams, And quench their ardor never, For while a smile illumes the eye, And wreathes t'.e lip of beauty, The task of life must ever be, - A pure and pleatant duty THE END OF RICHES. All mankind, with but few exceptions, are . rushing in a race to get rieb. This seems to be the "principal thing" in all their pursuits. Re ligion the "wisdom that is from above" is not suffered to entir their minds. They have no time to attend to spiritual things-no time to go up to church-no time to road the Bible no time to pray. They sleep but little and eat in a hurry, that all their time may be spent in devotions to Mammon-" the god of this world." Solo:fion said "He that trteth in his riches shall fall," and he who was wiser than Solomon said " Wo unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation." You may gather goods and hoard them, until your posse.4sion extends beyond enumeration ; but reason, scripture and experience all declares that " the eye is not satisfied with seeing, or the ear filled with hearing." This remark may be made of every sense of the body, and of all combined the heart is not satisfied with possessing. Pos session obtained but increases .lesire beyond its power to gratify. If your tru.t is in wealth alone, you travel a rugged and br unbled way, which leads over an awful precipice. A terri ble fate will be yours when you are disrobed of all, as you will be in death-when the judge shall answer your wailing and say, " you have received your consolation"-you have had your day. 0, what a pang will dart through your soul, should Abrahai say to you as he said to Dives, " Son iemember, 'that thou in thy life time receivedst thy good things." The memory will endure to torment the soul. LITTLE COURTESIES How much of meaning, of efinement, ay, of Christianity itself, there is in those little inci dental attentions and politenesses which go a great way in making up the beauty of life ! We have known very many people-good, watm-hearted, and generous-who were capa ble of almost any act of self-sacrifice and abne gation, who would never have condescended to raise their hat to a lady, or offer her a glass of water, before drinking themselves. This is fre quently the fault of a coarse-grained nature, but perhaps most often the result of early edu cation. Indeed, we always think a man's man ner's are the "living epistle, known and read of all men," of his rpother's training. Habitual politeness can only make a man a thorough gentleman-a woman a true lady. And this is most easily acqiuired in childhood, and in one's own household. If a boy be respectful and courteous to his sisfers, he will be so to all wo men, so long as he lives; but if his intercourse with them be coarse, careless, abrupt, not sof tened and refined by a thousand nameless little attentions and gracese, he will be rough, awk ward-not fulfilling always the beautiful injunc tion of the Apostle, " Be ye courteous to all men." Then, too, ontward refinement influences an& softens the inward character; for it is a laen' of our being that "expression intensifies the emotions and feelings." But this work,- after all, lies with every meother in the land-in the world ; and we can only hope that these hints may influence some to consider it -From the Olive Branch. NO-C0ITTFA lEN. * During the reign of James-II., on the occa sion of a trial between the crown and seven bishops of the Church of England, one Michael Arncld, the brewer to His Majesty's palace, was duly sworn upon the jury. Now, said Michael being a non-committal man, began sorely to realize that he stood be tween two fires, which he feared might be e-iually dangerous to himself, and lhe gave vent to his sorrows in these words: " Whatever I do, I am sure to be half ruined ; for if I say " not guilty" I shall brew no more for the king ; and if I say U guilty," I shall brew no more for anybody else." We have just such " brewers" all over the world in the nineteenth century-men who are loth to consider the claims of one person or party against another, lest, if they should de cide according to the honest convictions which circumstances might force upon them, they would lose the patronage of the defeated. Behold ! how they go about with mute lips, and eyes that see nothing, preferring that the most flagrant wronags should go uni-rcdressed ; yea, willing that innocence should suffer mar tyrdom, rather than be themselves called upon before odt and man, to speak the whole truth according to the dictates of conscience. We should like to have all such fellows on one jury, and feed them upon air for a fort night ; and more also, we would like to hold a loaf of bread on a pole against the shut win dows of that Jury room, to increase their ap petite. We would see if they would remain uncom mitted when the reputation or happiness of a fellow creature wa at stake. Out upon your silent man, who hears the vilest alanders without contradicting them; to whom the suffering and the weak appeal in vain for aid or counsel; who would see the poor man murdered by the rich muan, lest he himself might miss some future chance of borrowing money l Half man, half rat-he steals warily out of his hole, picks up a few crumbs for his own eating, and back ho goes. What to him are social interests, the march of intellect, or human rights ? - He has no heart, nor hand, nor purse, nor pen, nor voice beyond the furtherance of his own interests. But strange it is; sometimes . he exercises a mesmeric inifluence over men who are mn, and, mistaken in his- true character, they elevate him to some place of trust and power; whereby looking wise and saying noth ing, he gets the reputation of being a " profound statesman," or "profound" somebody ; and so he is, a " profound" lump of selfishness ; afraid to say, "not guilty," lest he might " brew no more for the king," or to say "guilty," lest he might " brew no more for anybody else.") "I DiDl AS THE REST DID * This tame yielding spirit-this doing " as the rest did,"-has ruined thousands. A young man is invited by vicious companions to visit the theatre, or gambling room, or other haunts of licentiousness, lHe becomes dissipa ted, spends his time, loses his credit, squanders his property, and nt last sinks into an un timely grave. What ruined him ? Simply "do ing what the rest did." A father has a family of sons. He is wealthy. Other chikiren in the smne situation of life do so and so; are indulged in this thing and that. He indulges his own in the same way. They guow- up idlers, trifiers, and fops. The father wonders why his children do not succeed better. - .ahns spent so much money on their education "-.has given them great advantages ; but alas! they are only a sote pf vexation and trouble. Poor man, he ' J in)g the penalty of "do -ing as the rest .d Thi poor mothmeratrives to bring up her da'ugh ters genteelly.

And he goes down to de truction, because he was so foolish as to "do as the rest did."-Golden Rule. CONMUBIL ETIQUETTE. A paragraph is in circulation, to the effect that a Pru si kn court of justice has decided that a husband has no right to open his wife's letters, and that one was sentenced to a fine for doing so. It is added, too, that " the rule works the other way. also, and nuzt tend to promote fain ily peace." The rule is certainly a good one, either way, although it has an ugly look to see it enforced by a court of law. A neglect of mutual courte sy and respect is the rock on which too much "family peace" is split. The worst of all dis courtesy is discourtesy between man and wife, from whichever side it may proceed. Marriage does not dissolve the obligation of respectful de portment on either side ; and, as a general rule, they who observe this obligation most crupulous ly, will best maintain the delicacy of that at tachment which marriage is too commonly sup posed tWnpair. It is not because there should be any lack of confidence that we say the rule is a good one. Just the contrary is implied. If a man cannot trust his wife, or rice versa, opening each other's letters will hardly correct the evil. But there is a satisfaction in first opening and reading a let ter from a friend, the edge of which is blunted by getting it second-hawd, after the "news is all read out of it." It looses its virgin freshness when the seal has been broken by another hand. Our lady readers at least will appreciate this feeling, and it is one that either husband or wife ought to respect.-Expressed 'consent, or oth er causes, may make many exceptions to the rule laid down by the Prussian court, but as a rule, we think it a very safe and excellent one. OcAan) sA.uss-T Vvcmitna Lisa-.n;.-There is as much connection between the words and the thoughts as there is between the thoughts and the words; the latter are not only the expres sion of the fbriner, but they have a power to re act upon the soul, and leave the stains of their corruption there. A young mani who allows himself to use one profane or vulgar word has not only sLwn that there is a foul spot upon his mind, but by the utterance of that word he ex tends that spot and inflaines it till by indulgence, it will soon pollute and ruin the whole soul. Be careful of your words as well as your thoughts. If you can control the tongue, that no improper wirds are pronounced by it, you will soon be able also to control the mind, and save that f om corruption. You extinguish the fire by smothering it, or by preventing bad thoughts bursting out in language. Never utter a word any where which -on wot.1 I be ashamed to speak in the presence otthe most refined female, or the most religious man. Try this practice a lit tle while, and you will soon have command of yourself. Turin:a.--Anger, says Dr. Bunting, has the effect to cause the bile to rush into the stomach in a stream. This has been observed with cer tainty in the case of St. Martin, a portion of whose chest was shot away, leaving an aperture large enough to observe distinctly with the na ke-I eye all the operations of the stomach. When he has been suddenly enraged, while ly ing upon a table, the bile has been seen to rush into the stomach, which was perfectly clear of it the instant before and in such a quantity as to admit of its being emptied out freely into a cup sirijy by turning him over. ~Mirthless, at and after a meal, facilitates di getion wonderfully. Take St. Martin to a place of amusement, for mnstance, after a hearty meal, the result is astonishing; digestion is pomoted to a surprisIng degree, " Laugh and grow fat" is an adae now seon to be founded upon a physiological truth. Keep in good humor, says another writer. It is not great calamities that imbitter existence ; it is the petty vexations, the small jealousies, the little disappointments, the minor miseries, that make the heart heavy and the temper sour. Don't let them. Anger is .a pure waste of vitality. It is always foolish, and always dis graceful, except in some very rare cases, when it is kindled by seeing wrong done to another; and eyem that noble rage seldom mends the matter. Keep in good humor!i TH E PLEAsUR Es OF IEAvEN.--Jerenny Tay lor, speaking of the widow of a blacksmith, who was constantly laboring to procure the necessa ries of life, thus quaintly portrays her charac ter: " Thus she lived, poor, patient, and resigned. Her heart was a passion flower, bearimg within it the crown of thorns and the cross of Christ. Her ideas of heaven were few and simple. She rejected the doctrine that it was the place of constant activity, not of repose, and believed that when she at leng'th reached it she would work no more ; but sit in a clean white apron and sing psalms." BuAucTI.-Can anything be more beautiful than the followin" record of childhood's faith ? "WVhat do you So without a mother to tell all your troubles to't"asked a child who had a moth er of one who had not; her mother was dead. " Mother told me who to go to before she died," answered the little orphan ; "I go to the Lord Jesus ; he was mother's friend, and he's mine." " Jesus Christ is up in the say ; he is away ofi, ad has a great manmy things to attend to in Heven, It is not liklely he can stop to mind you." " I do not know anything about that," said the orphan, "all I kiiow hie says he wcill, cad thats enough for me." CARRIAGE MANUFACTORY.
