Clouds cniicl) and adorn n landscape. Perpetual sunlight weaiies, and the freshness and fragrance of a dewy evening are hailed with gladness after the " long lapse of a summer's daylight" Afllictions are sweet to the Christian, even when the heart is almost bursting with giief; for he is assured that the pain is inflicted by a kind Father and fur the profit of his child. In the dark est hour he hears the precious assertion, " Whom the Lord loveth ho chastcnetb," and the entreaty, " Let not your heart bo troubled." When we arc in the depth of poverty, can we not remember him who feeds ilie ravens when they cry, and clothes the lib lies? And shall we doubt his willingness to administer to our necessities. When we are homeless, wo can hear a voicc whispertill* "In ?r**? l^il Kai V- llAiion I A..,. ?? >? I t-jt uij * ubiivi o iivuov iiici c mv; iiidiiv : mansions ; I go to prepare a place for you."

' The heart knowclh its own bitterness," and theie are Borrows which must be endured without Hnnan sympathy and in soliludo; but is there a grief in which our Father will not sympathize? Is th re a sorrow which cannot he whispered in his ear ? " Is his ear ever heavy that it eanrot near 7" "is ins arm ever snoriened that lio cannot cure ; no wound that lie cannot heal." Let us, then, repair to our heavenly Father in "every dark distressful hour," and remember that he has said, " I will never leave thee nor forsake thee." And shall we not respond, " Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is noue upon earth 1 desire besides thee." Likb's Last Jlociis.? Life's last hours are grand, testing hours?death tries till our principles, and lays bare all our foundation. Many have acted the hypocrite in life, who were forced to he honest in the hour of death. Misgivings of heart, that have been kept sccret through life, have come out in death ; and many who seemed all fair and right for heaven, have had to declare that they had only been selfdeceiv ed.

The appearance of Mr. Fidior and Miss Diller, at about 7.^ o'clock, was the signal 'or n gcuuritl ami disgraceful scramble for available positions for witnessing the ceremonies. Many of those present appeared to liave no regard for their own decency or the sacred character of ihe house. They stood on ihe seats and even scrambled on the. backs of the pews, the spectacle presented being more like what is sometimes seen in a theatre than we ever witnessed in a church. Amid this confusion ihe solemn and impressive ceremony was commenced by llev. Jacob VV. Diller, brother of the happy bride; but before its conclusion the confusion was renewed in consequence of many persons becoming alarmed by the creaking of a bench in one of the galleries which they supposed was the gallery itself giving way under the great weight upon it. The ceremony being over, the bridal party had scarcely retired from the church, when an old bench which had formerly been carried into the organ gallery gave way un> ,1-.. ,t.~ : -?- -r -i? . v n<-i me wrigiu "i uiose siHiioing upon 11.? Th?? crash started a frightful panic. Some person in the gallery cried out that the gallery was falling, and a general stampede commenced in all parts of the church. The lower windows were thrown up, and used by many as a means of exit. One young gentlemnn was so terribly frightened, that hequite forgot, the lady lie had escorted to the church, and made a break through the nearest window, carrying with him the entire lower @ lion of sash. He was quickly followed by a couple of ladies, and others were prevented fiom leaping out by those on the inside who had presence of mind sufficient to see that there v ."8 no real danger, except that which arose Horn the panic. Several ladies got out of one of the gallery windows, descending on the vestry roof, and from thence into the church yard. A number of Indies fainted, which, with the scream ni? hiiu prnyuig, uiu raining 01 minus and broken glass, presented a frightful speclaclc. Those under the gallery supposed to be falling, made a rush in the direction of tlie pulpit, overturning and slightly damaging the baptismal font, and carrying away the banister in front of the chancel.

Even then many persons regaided this ns a ruse on the part of lite Doctor to get clear of the crowd, and it was not until the Sexton began to turn off the gas inai mo ctuircn was cleared. The second bridal party rep ijred lo the residence of the bride's father, where the ceremony was performed by Dr. Bowman, and the happy pair at once prepared 10 Mart on their wedding lour in the evening train. Good Advice.?The following is nn extract. of a letter written by a gentleman who was for some 0s ar.s chief of a govorrment bureau, and who is now n diitinmiiuliorl judge in one of the northern Slates, ll is addressed 10 a youth of this city who was a subordinate in his bureau : " And now 1 know you will permit me to give you one word of advice.

' The Culture of the Minds of the Children. There is nothing, perhaps, upon heaven thflt is so plensnni to witness as parental afj feelion ; ii is an instinct so natural and eo j powerful that obstacle* are surmounted and sacrifii'i's nri? mmln wiilmni """""o ...... ' with pleasure, by ihosc parents who see i . j their oQVpring the Consummation of love.? But is ii not surprising, or, rather, is it not a matter of deep regret, that with all this affection, with all this sincere and honest idolizing, one of the first duties and one of . the greatest pleasures should he oveilooked, I neglected ; that the mind of the child, KimI pie, tractable, and confiding, should be left | to develop itself' under the harsh infiuene.es of ignorance?to bccotuc dwnifed by n mistaken kindness'? So soon as the infant opens its bedazzled eyes in this world, it commences to think?to learn. Its thoughts of course, are weak and perhaps 'one-half formed ; but there is the mind, whose nature will not alio*- it to rest, however much we may deceive ( Urselve's upon tiint point. Tho necessity, then, exists for the attentive training of the infant mind from the earliest moment it deals with the things of this life. Insteail of ll*i< ? IVI, v/\MU'iil IMIO St J li\r imposed her conventionalisms upon us, that ihe child walks and.talks for years without any attention being paid to the direction of ; {.Is thoughts; and when, at length, this duty I ia undpriiilMn, it Ic u[cnor<>)lv foi formed with | such inexcusable laxity, that the child's I memory is loaded only with words half of ! .. > > Minuii it. BUiiiTci)' Knows me meaning, and with win ning against (hose enormities more- | ly which involve punishment and disgrace ; external propiiety of behaviour and politeness; the arts of reserve, dissimulation, and i U'tltoi v , veriaiu orthodox notions of the occupations, pleasures and advantages of so ciety, and dexterity in gaining a livelihood; j are taught, as matters of coursc ; while the j formation of the mind and the heart is esti! mated as a secondary consideration. This produces more serious consequences than may at tirst appear. One or both of two results are almost inevitable; tho child's natural simplicity may be poisoned, and its openness of heart may be violated. There arc serious obstacles to the education of the infant mind. For the understanding of a child lo be healthy and propetly formed, it must have been supplied with co'Tect notions of things, and taught always to think in a way consonant with truth. Hut this cannot be accomplished without much assiduity and care; this is no exception ; anything, the possession of which is valuable, is generally difficult to obtain. And what can be more precious to an affectionate parent than an intelligent child ? Or what could more amply reward parental exertions?those dutiful labors of love? Can we expect the child to successfully pursue truth, through * ' y a * the bypaths and mazes of falsehood, without ? guide to lirst teach it the shortest and safest way, and a beacon to afterwards remind it of its instructions ? The honest little heartt of childhood arc easily cnujjl.l in the snares of popular erroi ; and for them to be once 80 entangled, is perhaps the most melancholy accident that can befall them ; consequence follows consequence, until the result is a deplorable and may be a fata] ignorance. To avoid this, the child should be subject to a systematic watching; and i whenever it arrives at a wrong conclusion, a conversation, kind, con.-iderate, and of character to unit its ape, may put it right, and so explain the cause of arriving at such unsound judgment, tlr.it the erro. may, per Imps, be less seldom as the- child becomes j older. This may appear to involve nn ?r diions undertaking on the part of the pa rent; but il is absolutely accessary, fur by no other means can the child be taught suf (iciemly early to pay attention lo the operation of its own mind, which is one great object to he aimed at and achieved. All questions should bo patiently and | careiully answered; and by no meais should ouriou>ity be checked. To reply peevishly and shai p to a child's interrogatories; is a fatal mistake, and neither confbms the prudence nor intelligence of the parent. It is a check to the cravings of a mind desiring to develop itself; t?\ refine to labor, that | | you may bo rewnrded n hundred fold ; to j j nip in the bud the loiig dflf-ired flower, and | ; to heap sorrow on your head, and cxpect | rvjuicing. The injunction to "hear, sec, j and 6ay nothing," in a mistake which nUist I sooner or Inter bo patent to tho world of : parents and tutors who have so lone cher isbcd it as an orthodox admonition to those intelligent little creatures who have desired I to understand what they have seen. Of course there are times and seasons when silence should he. required of them ; hut these | are rare, ?nd ?ot generally of long duration. | Then, again, they should be encouraged to J use their senses?to see things, feel them, hear them, arid so on, whencvor it is possible for them to assist their understanding.

It wor? better that the little students questions be left unanswered, than that they should be mystified by ignoranco and prevarication, ft is not at all injuiious to tho influence of instructors that they should occasionally ftc-. i i-.i ? .< I Kuun'icugr uicir innuiniy inexpiun mutters , upon which ihoy arc Inadequately informed. I 0n? great renson why they should h<3t Ic i. _,y; ^?:?. ??,. | mUled, either intentionally or uninlenlionul| ly, is that lirst impressions have a superior!! ty of power over those which mny be nfterwnrds received.

Fust ?nipres- I siops, ihcrefore, should be forcible nnd line. I 1 Another error not uafiequontly committed j ; in (he education of the child, is that his : | tasks arc not within his power of compre- I ! hension." They arc suited only for riper i ; years; and the ideas he forms ol these'sub- I ! jects are probably incorrect. In everv dav I ' "I i life we may constantly delect I lie effects of : sucl) loose and inconsiderate training. Chil- 1 I dren of larger growth are hourly using j j words, and sometimes phrases, of the mean- j j ing of which they have a very imperfect knowledge. Wero the policy seen and genemlly acted upon, of teaching ih'o young carefully and regularly, instead of by the present vague and unsound system, tlie conversation of society during the next generation would be of a mnch purer and in - i vviii^vuv vuumtiui iiimii tiiv* pitoviiv vw wuae ' | iind pithless mode of communication. There | ! is no better si^n, perhaps, of a cultivated ] . mind, than tiio proper use of words, with ; the nice distinctions of which the student i only has a knoivlo.dgp. The importance of , this must he apparent to the reader, as also : that the child's information should be ns solid as is f-uitnblo to its capacity, and care should he taken that it is sufficiently deliberate in arriving at conclusions. Considering, then, the whole of these circumstances, is the culture of tho child's mind n matter upon which the parent should feel indiffer' cut? It is a Sr.A- .-.m!-.: a task no loss noble tlinn delightful. The Duel. ~ In his Cyclopaedia of wit nnd humor, Mr. Burton quotes the following reply to a challenge from a work published in 1796, and entitled "Modern Chivalry " Sin: I have two objections to this duel matter. The one is. lest 1 should burl von: and the oilier is, lesl you should hurl mo. 1 do not sco any good it would do mo to put a bullet through any part of your body. 1 could make no live of you when dead for any culinary purpose, as I would n rabbit or a turkey. 1 am no cannibal to feed on the flesh of men.

At the end of a twelvemonth they agreed to be married, nnd nil the requisite arrangements were made; the evening was fixed upon, nnd even the chaplain had been engaged ; but on the morning of the day proposed secretly for the nuptials, the whole plan was diseovei c d, nnd the match broke off peremptorily by the absolute authoiity of (ho parents.
