EDGE : ,, J "I Would not Live Alway." Jon Vi, 16. I would not live alway-live alway bolow! Oh, no ! I'll not linger when bidden to go. The days of our pilgrimage, granted us here. Are enough- for life's woes, full enough for its cheer. Should I shrink from the path which the'prophets of God, Apostles and martyrs. so joyfully trod? While brethren and friends are all hastening home, Like a spirit unblest, oe'r the earth should I roam ? I would not live alway-I ask not to stay Where storm after storm rises dark oe'r the way Where, seeking for peace. we but hover around Like the Patriarch's bird, and no resting is fiiunal; Where Hope, when she paints her gay bow in the air, Leaves its brilliance to fade in the niglItof despair, And joy's fleeting angel, ne'er sheds a glad ray, Save the gleam of the plumage that bears hit away. I would n.t live alway, thus fettered ly .in Temptation without, and curruptiun within If a moment of strength, if I sever the chain. Scarce the vietory's mine, ere I'm captive again. E'en the rapture of parilon is mingleil with fears, And my cup of thanks.icing with penitent te:ar; The festiral trump calls for julitanat songs. But mny spirit her own aching misery prolongs. I would not live always no welcome the tomb! Since Jesus has lain here. I dread rot its gloom Where le deigned to sleep. I'll, too, low my heal, Uh, peaceful the slumbliers on that hallowerd lied! And then the glad lshwn soon to follow that night. When the sunrise of glory shall beau on may sight. When the full inatin song. as the sleepers arise. To shout in the morning. shall peal thro' the skies. Who, who would live alway ?-away froaL his God, A w.ty fromta yon heaven, that bli'sful abile. Where the rivers of pleasure flow ove'r the bright plains. Anil the noontitle of glory eternally rei;;ns Where the saints of all ages in harmony meet. Their Saviour and brethren transported to greet, Whiio the songs of salvation exultingly roll, And the smilo of the Lord is the feast of the soul That heavenly musie-what is it I hear The notes of the harpers ring sweet in the air. And see. soft unfolding. those liurta. of gold The King all arrayed in His beauty, behold 0 give we, 0 give mse the wings of a dove ! Let ma hasten my flight to tl.ase mansions above ! Ayftds now that my soul on swift pinions would soar. Anl it eestacy bid earth alitu evermore ! The ieroisnm of Private Life. ;'The heroism of private life', the slow un. clironieled tmartyrdonm; of the heart, who shall remember? Greater than any knight, dragn-slayer of old, is the tman who over comes an unholy passion, sets his foot upon it and smaids serene and strong in virtue. ( rand er than Zenobia is the woman who struggles with a kve tha, would wrunae another or "e grade herown soul r .4 conquers. The young jan..ardet aid tender who turns fren the.1 dear love of woman, an i buries deep in hi. heart the sweet instinct of paternity to devote himself to the care and suppl'rt of an ag.ed pa rent, or an unf'rtunate sister, and whose iife is a lung sacrifice in tmanly cheerflness and majestic uncomplaint, is a hero of the rarest type-the type of Charles Lamb. -I have known but two such. The young woman who resolutely stays with father and mother in the old hlne, while brothers and sisters go forth to happy homes of their own, who cheerfully lays upon the ultar of filial duty that costliest of human sacrifict: the joy of loving and being lov'ed-shae is a haeroin~e. I htave kanown many such. The husbutnd, whao goes hoame froam the Went"y routine tand thte perplexing cares of' business with a cheerf'ul smile and a loving word for his inavalid wife ; who briangs not against bet' the grievous sin of her sickness, and reproaches betr not fl.r the cest or discomfort thereol' who saes ian her languid eye somtethinag di area' thana girl's lanaghtet' ; ins the satd face anad faided cheeks that blossom into smiles and even hushes has this comaing sometithing lovele hathant the old' time spr'ing roses-he is a I ero.

'The wife who bears the biurden of life-even though it be the larger part-bravely, cheerfully, nev'er dareamintg thiat she is a heroitae, much less a Lmlartyr; whto bears withI the fautlts of hit' htudband, anot :d-.

A few motaths ago, a con:jurter etehreda an inn at I adlow and askeid the comtpany it they would like to see a little of his performnance. as he was :dlowed by all peasn S~t5who huad sten hi:n go through his j.erfoi'manaces, to do thetm with more !esic andI jndymaenit thtan any mnti L'v:tg. 'Ilihe Ian lord was5 the first to give assetnt, atad etated that he: knew a few tricks himnself, anid had seen manya wonderaf'ul Oanes. The conjurer thens req'uested the com.~ patty to place three hats upjon the table, which, bseinag donme, hie requtestedl thtelandlord to brinig a loaf of bread, anad the conjutrer' cttt three slices (nearly htal' a pound each) and placetd one upon each lhat. The conjurer then stated that he c oald do ;h.: trik muchel mfi re comn fortable to hhnusilf if' he ht:.d three hiees of' cheese. 'I he chaese buing biont.hit, the cotn ijnror cut three good si.ted picac.:s and placed 'one by each iece biread. N w was the~ grand trick. The con jutror turnezd upm the cuffs of his coat, took oil his n.?a k lmndkerchtief anad uinbuttonsed his shirt collar anud stated thtat lhe woulid now eat the three ices of bread antd cheese, and afterwardis brin alhl utndet' one hat. The cornjur'r commanenced eating the bread anid cheese. atnd after eattinig two pieces declared lhe cotnld not proeed'( with the third anti farinih the trick without he hadst sotmethaing to drink. The worthy landlord'i, wishing tht the wonderful trick should be! p~roceededl with, far the atmusetment of his cutstomeirs, intunedi ately gave the conjauror a qjuart of' ale; and the third piece of br eatd anad cheese soon fl lowed the fir'st two pieces. Now the gratnd trick was to lbe disclosed, anad the landlord and hsis' companions anxiously waited to se U. The connror sid: "Now. gentlemen, wlciath hat shall I bring the bread and cheese under?" The landlord pointed out his own hat, to take part in the trick as well as his breul and cheese. It boin!g so arranged, the cou. juror again said. "Gentlemen, I have eaten the bread and cheese, and now I vii I bring it under the landlurd's hat," ani immediately placed the hat upon his head, and said, " Now you see it ii under the bat without any deception" amidst shouts of laughter from all the com pany except the landlord, who was minus three pieces of bread and cheese and a quart of ale, which he did not seem much to relish. The conjuror left the house without making a collection of the company, he being well satisfied with the landlord's generosity. We are surprised to find men doing busi ness, who say they are not able to advertise and still continue to do business, or to pre tend so to do. Stephen Girard, whore name is familiar to evcry school boy in the land. said: "I have always considered advertising, liberally, and long, to be the greatest medium of success in business, and prelude to wealth. And I have made it an invariable rule too, to advertise in the dullest. times, lung expeti ence having taught me that money thus spent is well laid out; as by keeping my business before the public, it has secured me many sales that I should otherwise have lost." MAen of business. whatever your business may be, advertise it. Let the public know what you have t., sell, the terms upon which you .ell ; what you wish to buy, and what you are willing to pay. If the tintes'arhara and dull, advertise the more, extend your ac quaiutance, your trade, and earn sc.ccess by constant effort. Now is the time to advertise, according to Stephen Girard's rule.-Pet. Express. Uu~smr~:a F4:-r.-A lb:.mortl.-To the. Editurs of/' the Coaawmm'rc.ial Adrrtiser :-1 had for several years two sons at School at Geneva, Switzerland. In their vacations they. in co:pany with their tutor, made excursions : through Switzerland, Italy, Germany, &c., on foot bearing their kriapsacks cont aining their : necessary wants for a month. They 'were f provided with a small bar of common brown t soap, and before putting on their stockings t turned the threads of them, consequently they never became foot sore, or had blistered I feet. Luet our voluneers try it, and my word I fur it. they wont complain of sure or blistered feet. Those boys of mine are in the Seventh s Regid nt, and made the march from At.po- t lis to Wahdington scathless as far.as the feet r w'ere concerned, ainy carrted taert hrsace I wish comparative ease, frotn'early schooling. W V so;etites meet with rmenr who seeml to think that an inidn!gence in : afectionate fieling is a weakness. They will turn fram a j.ourney and greet their tumily with a distant dignity, and move among their c'-ildren with the cold and loiy splendor of an icebserg sturt rounded by ius broken fragments. There is hardly a more unnatural sight on earth thatn one of those families without a heart. A fath. er had better extinguish a boy's eves than take awvay his heat. Who that has experi enced the joys of frie'ndshaip, and values sym pathay and atffect ion, would noct rather" lose, all that is beautiful in nature's scenery thtan be rbbed of' the hidden treasures of his heart.?

The hu m:1n body is also a magnet, and when the body is placed in certain relations to the earth, these currents harmonize-when in any other position they conflict. When ore position is to be maintained for some time, a position should be chosen in which the magnetic currents of the earth and the body will not conflict. This position, as indicated by tbeo. ry, and known by experiment, is to lie with the he:d toward the nor:h polo, Persons who sleep with their heads in the opposite direction, or lying crosswise, are liable to fall into various nervous disorders. When they go back to the right position, these disorders, if not too deeply impressed upon the consti tution, soon vanish. Sensitive persons alr' always more refreshed by sleep when their heads point due north. Architects, in buill. ing houses, should bear this principle in mind.
