BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY. In spreaking of a person's faults, Pray don't forget your own; Remember those with homes of glass Should seldom throw a stone. If we have nothing else to do But talk of those who sin, "Tis better we commence at home, And from that point begin. We have no right to judge a-man Until he's fairly tried; Should we not like his company, ? We know the world is wide. / Some may have faults?and who have not? The old as well as young; Perhaps we may for aughfr-tve know, Have fifty to th?ir one. I'll tell you a better plan, ' And one that works full well: I try my own defects to cure, Ere I of others1 tell. And though I sometimes hope to be No worse than some I know. My own shortcomings bid me let The faults of others go. Then let us all, when we commence To slander friend or foe, Think of the harm one word may do To those vfho little know.: Remember, curses, sometimes like Our chickens, "roost at home." Don't speak of others' .faults until We have none of our own.1 ONLY A COUNTRY GIRL. BY JAMES LESTER. "You are mistaken; I would rather die than to -marry a iner&.qountry girl." "But, Fred, suppose her intelligent, full of natural poetry, tender-hearted; graceful, unspoiled by admiration, & guileless; simple, loving creature?" ? "0," said Fred, laughing, "choice se? lection of virtue and grace. Country beauties are always sweet, and so are country cows. No, I tell you, if she was as lovely as an angel, with the best sense in the world, still if unskilled in litera? ture and music, with no soul above churns and knitting ueedles, I wou.'d Dot marry her for a fortune." C , "Ha, ha!" laughed Heleu Irving.? Hidden by the trunk of a tree, she sat. reading within a few feet of the. egotist.1 In another moment the young lady came in sight. Fred's face crimsoned, and he whispered in visable trepidation, "Do you think she heard me?" "No," rejoined the other, audibly, "she has not even looked from her book. You are safe." t Leaning on one white arm, the old ?ak tree in the background, flowers strewed around her, she sat quite at ease, appa-. rently unconscious tnat two handsome young gentlemen were near her. Approaching with a low bow, upon which, his mirrow had set the stamp of faultless elegance, Frederick Lane took the liberty of asking if the young lady would inform him where Mr. Irving lived. With an innocent smile the lady looked up. "Mr. Irving, the only one living in the village, is my lather," she said, rising in a graceful and charming manner. "The large house on high ground, half hidden by trees and thick shrubbery; there is were we live." Fred replied with a very graceful bow. "Tell your father I shall do myself the honor to call on him to-morrow. He will remember me?Frederick Lane, at your service." "Yes, sir, I will tell him," said Helen, tucking her sleeves around her pretty arms, and making rather a formal cour? tesy. Then, catching up her books and gathering the scattered flowers, she hur? ried home. "Now, father, mother, aunt and sis," exclaimed the merry girl, bouncing into the room where the family were at sup? per, "so sure as you and I live, that Mr. Lane you talked so much about is in the village. He will call, here to-morrow, the finest specimen of a city beau, (as, of course, he will be,) all sentiment, fault? less in kid and dickey, important and self-assured as one of the kind can possi? bly be. Promise me, all of you, that you will not lisp one word about music, read? ing and writing in his presence, because I have a plan. Father will not, I know, and if you, sis, will be quiet and ask no questions, I will give you that work-box you have coveted so longy' "Why, .on that condition,,. 1*11 be as still as a mouse, but what's the rea? son?" "Oh, that's my own business," said Helen, dancing out of the room. Helen sat at the open window, through which roses thrust their blushing buds, making both shade and a sweet fragrance. The canary overhead burst forth every moment in wild snatches of glorious music. Helen was at work on long blue stockings, nearly finished, and her fingers flew like snow-birds. "You knit most admirably; are you fond of it?" "Yes, quite; I like it better than any? thing else?that is, I mean I can churn well." : .. , v "And do you read much?" Fred's fiance had traveled from the corners of is eyes to eveiy table, shelf and corner, in search of books and papers, but'not a page, yellow or red, repaid his search.-' "Oh, yes," said Helen, with a sanctt fied air. "What books ? permit me to ask." "I read the Bible a: good deal," she said, gravely. "Is that all?" "All! of course not! Yet, what do you not find in the Bible ? History, po? etry, eloquence, romance, the most thrill? ing pathos f1 blushing, and recollecting herself, she added in a manner as child? ish as it had before been dignified: "As for other books, let me see what I have got in my library; there's the Primmer, (counting on her fingers,) Second-class Reader, Robinson Crusoe, Nursery Tales, two or three Elements of something, Bi? ography of some person or other, Moth? er's Magazine, and King William III. There, now, isn't that a very good assort? ment?" Fred smiled. "Perhaps I do not know as much as those who have been to school more," she added, as if disappointed at the mute re? joinder; "but in making bread, churning butter and keeping house, I am not to be out-done." The young man felt more in pity than in love, but his visits did not always so result. He began to feel a magnetic at? traction, and he mainly attributed it to Helen's beauty; but the truth is, her sweetness and artless character, engaging manner and disposition, quite won the city-bred aristocrat, Fred Lane. There was a freshness about everything she did or said. She perplexed as well as de? lighted him. Often, as, as he was wondering how some homely expression would be re? ceived in society, some beautiful senti? ment would suddenly drop like a pearl from her lips, as remarkable for original? ity as for brilliancy. "If I should fall into thesnare," thought he, "I can educate her; it will be worth trying." It is useless to combat the tender pas? sion ; so at last he fell at Helen's feet, figuratively speaking, and confessing his love for her. "I care not, Helen, only be mine," was his invariable answer to her declaration of unworthiness, "how you would appear in society." They were married, had returned from their wedding tour, and yet, at the expi? ration of their honey-moon, Fred was more in love than ever. At a grand en? tertainment given by the relatives of the bridegroom. Helen looked still more beautiful. Her husband did not insist that she should depart; from simplicity, and indeed in the absence of all jewelry in her simple white robe, she was by far the most lovely creature in the room. As she entered the great saloon blazing with light, her heart faltered. "Shall I love him as dearly," she asked herself, "if I find he is ashamed of me ? I can't bear the thought, but should he overcome all conventional notions, then I have a husband to be honored, and he shall be proud -of/?srwlfe?! ;'.>--: How she watche^hlin-aa he pfesehtfelli her to one and anjhtigsr. ^> \ . "Simple,"^whilSjet^ a^ign^ficeht girl resplendent with mtoionas, as "she curled her lips, and passed by. The observation escaped neither Helen nor her husband. She looked at him. He smiled a lover's smile, and drew her closer to his side. Many in that brilliant gathering pitied poor Fred, and wondered how he had martyred himself on the shriue of igno-' rant rusticity. The young bride stood near her hus? band, talking in a low tone,, wben a new comer appeared. She was ? beautiful, slightly formed creature, with haughty features. Ill-concealed 'hc?tTf lurketr ir> the brilliant eyes wheneyer'she glanced at Helen. Once she had leid "sway over the heart of Fred, and hearing whom he had married,-, she fancied., her time had, come. ".Dp you suppose sheknowaanjthing2" wMspered a'low voice. .Helen's eyes sparkled; b$r faae flushed iridighantly. She turned ro-heHiusband. He was gone, speaking at a distance with a friend. "Do you play, Mrs.-?" asked the haughty belle" There was a mocking tone in her voice. "A little," answered Helen, her cheeks blushing. I "And sing?" "A little," was the half reply. "Then do us a favor," exclaimed Miss Somei's, looking askance at her coflrjpan jons. "Come, I myself will lead you to the piano." t. Barkd"whose .masterly ."touch?

" "" 4" The words were suddenly arrested on his lips. She turned from the piano, and the.uuknown was, his wife, -If he was speechless with'amazement, she. was not. . "How well she talks !"??' : Who would have thought it? He has found a treas? ure," was whispered all around the room. "Tell me," said he, when they were alone, "what does this mean ? I feel like one awakened from a dream." "Only a country girl," said Helen; then, folded in her husband's arms, she added, "I am that little rustic that you would rather die than wed." The End.?In one of Dr. Whewell's sermons, occurs this striking and beauti? ful paragraph in regard to the scenes of our material universe: "Let us not deceive ourselves. Indefi? nite duration and gradual decay are not the destiny of the universe. It will not find its termination only in the imper? ceptible crumbling of its materials or, the clogging of its wheels. It steals not calmly and slowly to its end. No ages of long and deepening twilight shall gradually bring the last setting of the sun?no mountains sinking under the decrepitude of years, or weary rivers ceasing to rejoice in their courses, shall prepare men for the abolition of this earth. No placid enthusiasm shall silently lead on the dissolution of the natu'ftl world. But the trumpet shall sound?the struggle Bhall come?this goodly frame of things shall be rent and crushed by the arm of its omnipotent maker. It shall expire in the throes and agonies of some fierce convulsion; and the same band which plucked the ele? ments from the dark and troubled slum liers-of chaos, shall cast them iuto the tomb, pushing them aside that they may no longer stand between his face and the creatures whom he shall come to judge." SPECIAL NOTICES. Sjjpp*?n ?& J3adl,et.are giving away a'?handsome book entitled "Pearls for the people," containing much valua? ble information and many interesting articles.

In this age of humbuggery it is easy to make bold assertions, but to furnish indis? putable evidence of the truth of them is not always easy. We boldly assert that Da.
