Thc pure, tho bright,.tho beautiful, That stirred opr hearts in youth, The impulse of a wordless prayer, Thc dream of love and truth, Tho longings after something lost, Tho spirit's yearning cgy ; Thc strivings after better hopes, * These thing? can never die. Tho timid hand stretcded forth to aid A brother in his need ; That kindly word in griefs dark hour That proves thc friend indeed; Thc plea of mercy softly breathed When justico threatens nigh ; * Tho sorrow of a contrito heart,- . . These things shall never die. Thc memory of a clasping hand, . Thc presiurc of a kiss, And all thc trifles, sweet and frail, That mnlto up love's first bliss, If with a finn, unchanging faith, And holy trust and high, Those hands have clasp'd, those Hps have met, Those things shall never dio. Th? cruel and tho bitter word That wounded as it foll, Tho chilling want of sympathy, Wo feel but never tell. Tho hard repulse that chills thc heart, Whoso hopes wcro bounding high, In au unfading record kept, These things shall never dio. Let nothiuc poss, for every hand Must find some work to do ; Lose not a chance to woikcn love, Ho firm and just and true, So shall a light that cannot fado Beam on thee from on high, And angels voices say to theo, Tho?o things shall never die.

'. 1 ion't seo what maki'S hers? tender hearted S::o never tonk it from mc. Lint she maj have taken it fro?.:-" Thc old niau stopped, and a cloud came ?vcr his wrinkled brow, for lhere was a ,;at>?? in his heart. He remembered the gen le, uncomplaining being who had once beci> his companion, ino mother of his child. Hr remembered how she beoame his wife, even wlum the bloom of manhood had p issed from him, and cared for him, and how the taught her child to love and cure for him, loo. And i c remember, d b.-rw she had never complain nd, even while suffering, and how she had died, wjth a smile and a blessing upon her bps, though the gold of her husband brought ber no comforts. Noah Breman bowed his frosted head mort' low, and in hi- hean he wished i]e could fir ret ??11 but ?' j few fleeting joys ct his wife. "??nd not forget. He could not forget that it had been whispered how his wife might isavc lived longer, had she had proper cloth ing and medical attention. "Lui it would have cost so much ; I raved money 7" Ah, tho reflectiqn would not remove Ibo pang. The ether memory was uppermost. Noah Breman had passed the allotted age nf men, being over three score and ten, and all his life had been devoted lo the accumula non ol mopey. /Ie lind denied himself every comfort, and bia heart jiad been almost as hard I he gold hf hoarded, linc nj Ids hair gi l rr morz white and sparse, and the years callie more heavily upon him, he tbungin more; reflected more. The sweet smile ol his wife was doing its mission now ; a .d the pure love of his gentle child was a continual remembrarlo to him that lhere were better hearts tuan his own. At length tho miser aros."1, and passed out A the room. He would have left the hut; out as ho read: d the little entry way, he heard a voico from the garret, lt was his child's. He crept Up the rickety stairs, and i oked'through a crack in lue door. He saw Agnes upon her knees. Terrs were rollins down her cheeks, and her hands were clasped towards Heaven and she prayed : '.Oh. God! bo pood to my father, and mike his heart warm and peaceful ! Make mc to love him with, all tenderness, and ena ble mo to do well and truly the duty I pledged to my gaunted mother ! 1 promised I would love and care for him always. Father in Heaven, help mc! Oh ! help mel Tue old man crept down stairs and out of doors, and for a whole hour he walked alone among the trees. Ho thought again of his child ; and then, of his gold I And this was not the first time he had witlkcd alone there. Ho did not himself know how great the in (luence of his child was exerting over him. Agnc, pure, good, beautiful Agnes, wept jong and bitte, ly in her little garret, and when Slio bad become calm, and her cheeks were dry, she came down and got supper. But thc was.not the smiling, happy being that had flitted about the scanty board here tofore. A few days after this, as Noah Breman ap proached bis cotouc morning, be heard voices from within. He peeped through a rent, in tho coarse paper curtain, and saw Walter Adams with his child. Her head was upon Walter's shoulder, and his arm Waa about her. Walter wa? an orphan, and had L,cen Ag ncs' .schoolmate, and her fervent lover through all the virtuous man, and loved the gentle girl because she waH so good and gentle, and so beautiful. And sho loved him, not only bccau?o ho wa?, of all her suitors, thc only on? whose character and habits promised joy and peace for tho future. i: J cannot leave my poor old father, Wal ter," the (dd man heard his daughter say. " I mu .t live to love and care for him. On all the earth I am tho only one left to love him. It is hard! My hiartmay break 1 But thc pledge of lovo I gave to my dy in mother must he kept." ".And so the great joy-dream of my yout must be changed to this sad reality ! I car not Ask you to leave your father,, sweet Aj n?s, for the very truth in you which I woi ship would be made a lie could you do si But I have a prayer. I pray that God in hi mercy may/ remove thc curse from you father's bended form !' "The curse! Walter?" "Aye- Hit. Gold Curse P rejoined th yor'h fervently. "I hope God may rende .him penniless !" "What?*: Penniless?.' Repeated Agne; with a stark " "Aye ; penniless! for then he would bo fal more wealthy than h? is now. Then he woulc know how-.to appreciate thc priceless bJes sings of his sweet Agnes' love, and then lh< crust might be broken, and his heart grov human again. And more than all," Waite: continued,: winding his arin more cluselj about the fair form of his companion, ant speaking more deeply,' " then I could prove to hinr my love. Then I could take you tc my home 5 and wc could both love him anc care fur litta while we" lived !" Noah Breman . stopped to hear no more and as hcywalked away, he muttered to Him self: . ; " The rascal ! He'd do great things ; mc penniless,; and he prayiDg for it, the young villian !:: When the old man gained his accustomed walk among the great sycamores, he wiped something from his eye. Ile acted as though a mote bid been blown in there. "Two weeks passed on, and Agnes grew pale andithin. She did not sing as she used to, por c?uld she smile aa had been her wont. Slill she murmured not, nor did her kindness to her father grow less. " Oh, God, help me to love my father." shu prayed che night. " Let not my grief make me fcrget my duty !" And the old man heard it. One night Noah came home from the cit}', and in hi", hand lu: brought a small trunk. Hu barred the door, and drew the tattered curtains'close. .. Se?," he said, ar, he opened the trunk, and piled the new bank notes upon thc table. " L'.'dff- there, Agnes, sud see Low I have WOfkecHn my life tim;.

And when bo walked alone beneath tho starry heavens he wiped his own eyes as though something troubled him. Gay as a lark was th<- gentle, beautiful Agnes, when she became the wife of Walter Adams. Thc rose, bloomed again upon her happy face like Sunshine all thc dy long. " Do you pray to God to help von lo love mo liow 7" the ?ld man asked after ho had lived with Walter some months. " Why, what do yeti mean ?'! Agnes asked in surprise. " You used to pray so, for I have he ml you," returned Noah. A moment tho young wife crazed into her parent's face, and she answered, while she threw ber arms about his neck, " Oh, [.pray that you may be spared to us for long years in peace and happiness, but love you ? Oh ! I could not help it if I should try. And Walter loves you very much, for he has told mc so many times." There was something mere than usual in the old man's eye now. r Ono evening as the Happy trio sat nt the tea lanie, Walter looked more thoughtful than was his wont. " What ts it love ?" Agnes nsked. " 0, nothing, tho husband said, with a stritte, "I was only thinking." . " But of what." " Only castle building, (hal's is all." " In thc air, Walter," asked Noah. " Yes, very high in the air," the young tsar, returned, wi h a laugh. .' But tel! us what it ?3." ? Well, I'd as lief tell, you as not Mr. Os I goad is to retire from our firm in fi lew day3.' j Hs ifl well advanced in years and he made p! ?r^tunc in the business, and will live now I comfort and health alone.

" Yes." u But what castle in the air, is there ab that." a 0, that isn't the castle.' '"Then what is the castle? Urged old man playfully." " Why, simply this, said'Walter, laughi but yet almost ashamed io tell it: This nc Mr. Osgood patted me on the shoulder i said he-in his playful way-Walter, I'll i you all .my interest here for fifiy tlious: dollars." " Ha, ha," laughed Noah Breman, " a you thought he was in earnest." " No, no," quickly returned the you mau, " I did not think tbat, though I kn that the other two partners would be willi to have me for an-associate." " But it seems to me old Osgood holds I share in the concern at a high figure." " OU no. It is a very low one. There clear capital of one hundred and fifty tht saud dollars in the business at this momei and then think of all the standing and go will which goes for nothing. '. Ha, ha, ha," laughed the old man aga: Then Walter laughed, and then they li iehed their supper. On the next evening Walter Adams cat in and sank dawn on thc sofa without apea ing. He was pale aud agitated- ind his ey had a vacant wondering look. " Waller !" Cried A? ues, in terror, " wh has happened 'Ia " He's sick," mattered Noah Breman, wit out looking around. .'No, i.o, n-'t^ick," n t imed the young rr.? starting up ! 11 But I am the victim of a mi erable trifling." '.Eh? How so?'.' Asked old Noah, no turning his chair.. "TU tell you," said Walter, with a spa modicejfort. "I had some lorjg eniri?si p.sr. this evenirg, so I remained in thc coun ing room alter thc rest had gone.

Mr. White to Mr. Merrimau, giving in formation upon what terms laborers can be procured^ of what character the per-0D3 wil he, and'now they will come recommended. As so much labor is removing from thin part uf the country ; and as it 1s important that thc linds should hot be left to- grow np in weeds, and thus be converted into a wilder ness, and be deserted, it is important that our people should make all necessary efforts to re store the coarvry to its former, and even gtea' er, prosperity.. People must begiu to work to accomplish something. Plans to secure immigrants must be matured, and the people must see to it that tiieir,lauds shall be cul tivated, and improved, Tho counlrycan bs improved, but energy is required to effect it. The attention of the people will be direct ed-to this subject during the ourse of this year, and that too in time to make all tue ne ..es-ary arran<?c-mcyUs for the introduction of foreign labor, for the year 1808.

' Tb talk of relief by stay law?, or scaling of debts by lojral measure, is & mere wa ?te oftime-afact cf which the peop'e are now pretty thoroughly convinced, but a great relief may, and ought to be extended, through a willingness on the part of creditors' to offer liberal terms of settlement. There are doubtless some exceptions, hut the "casos ; are rare, where greenbacks at par wonld not' bo a fair and equitable satisfaction of any^ existing liability. Not to receive it is evidence' of a grasping and uncompromising spirit; and il'genei-ally followed^ would, in effect, add almost fifty per cetftrtothe indebtedness of the country.
