Fit emblems of the angel child,
Their fragrant loaves caressed;
They laid thee in thy narrow home,

our powers and capacities, and if to this end,
with Wilbcrforce, wc will but "seize and improve
even the shortest intervals of possible
action and effort," we shall find that there
is no limit to our advancement. Without
this resolute and earnest purpose, the best
. aids and means are of little worth ; but with
it, even the weakest are mighty. Without
it, we shall accomplish nothing ; with it, we

everything else, to thiuk we aro able, is almost
to be so; resolve to attain, is often at- '
tainment. Everywhere are the means of
progress if we have but the spirit, the fixed
purpose to use them. And if, like the old
philosopher, we will but take as our motto:
"Higher?for ever higher !n we may rise by ,

Mas. Partinotoh o.m The War.?-So the

lhat fact in the paper. "Tney'd better pross

if the women could only have the handling

meant peecavia*, but indignation does not
stop at words. She passed off, like exhalation
of summer sweets, and in her excitement
left her parasol behind her, which can
be seen at this 'orifice.'?Boston Post.
Who will ds Dkukkahds 1?"If you
were to rank those boys before me and ask
me which of them was most likely to become
a drunkard, I should not want to know what
his education or breeding had been, or what
his intellect, half so much as what is the
temperament of the child. Is he of a cold,
calculating selfish disposition or is he one of
those little fellows, full of fire and poetry,
with a manly generous heart f Point out
that boy?that is the boy most likely to become
a druukard?Qough,
A good criterion by which to iudge the
disposition of a man, is to watch him when
he passes some boys at play. A kind man
wilf step out of the way, and let the little fellows
have the>r sport.
Yon can know that a girl is not yet a
woman if she puts her hand over her mouth
when she laughs. It is the tenacious sign of
girlhood.
A maw may be a fool with wit, but never
with judgement.
A Hint.?"Dear mothor," said a delicate
little girl, "I have broken vour
china vase?'
"Well, yon are a naughty, careless
troublesome thing, always in mischief,
go up strirs till I send for you." And
this was a christian mother's answer
to the tearful little culprit, who struggled
with and conquered temptation
to tell a falsehood,to screen a fault.
With disappointed, disheartened look
the child obeyed; and at that moment
was crushed in her little heart the sweet
flower of truth, perhaps never again in
after years to be revived through life.

Mankind is prone to praise in others what
they do not themselves practice, but practicing
it themselves they praise not others, but
their own humble selves, and so it is in regard
to labor, they like to see others work
and toil for their daily bread, but do not

of working for a living. These are drones?
tlie dust that float* upon the air of labor,
and shifted by their own worthlessnees from
one place to another, until the gaudy glitter,
borrowed from the reflection of their own
wealth, become* the meaus whereby they are
hurled from existence?from memory itself.

or for the future t
Or does death, when he grasp* him, pall
him forever from the recollection of the living,
and leave but a blank space in the firevide

The answer is plain. Hie mechanic
leaves his imprint upon the age in which he
lives, and Time marks his history ot> a guide
for the future. A palace is drawn upon a
paper, a mere pencil sketch. It is passed to
the mechanic. Weeks months perhaps years

will coine when labor, and labor alone, will
be the guarantee of honesty, virtue and greatr

An Important Mistake.

by a clerical friend, which struck us at the
time as being "too good to be lost
A reverend broUier, in a "down East"
State, was brought np in an ecclesiastical
council to answer some gave charges of immoral
and unchristian practice. He assumed
an air of indignation and "injured innocence"
at the allegation, and went personally
to his friends in tho parish, inviting them to
come to the trial and see for themselves how
virtue could triumph over malignant persecution.

of my innoceuce, und now that it issurtimed

I think you will be doing simple justice in

Do not Swear.
If to use an oath occasionally, is a sin
against God, or to utter one in . society an
anoraally in Etiquette; it is certain that a free
vent of profanity detracts amazincriv from
the merit* of scholarship, rendering one'*
person disgusting, bis very beauty contaminating,
and liis address discordant and grating
as a sleigh driving through the street* on
bare ground, lu a critical point of view, he
is guilty of tautology, pennology, grandiloquence
and a thousand other rhetorical crimes.
How could one be entertained by a public
debate or lecture, abounding in blasphemies?
Why, the most illiterate of the rabble would
justly plead to himself that he could swear
as well as the speaker. Uow would you, who
are a professor in this business, be edified
by reading a paper blended with this trash.
In point of denunciation, or satire, let It
be remembered that there are terms more
pertinent and forcible than a thistle growth
of profauity. And As for the eloquence of
introdciug it in circle*, it would be interesting
to hear or read an essay from of it champ*
ons, marking its peculiar beauties, and the
majestic euphony with which it abounds.
Tna Skylark.?It may not be generally
known that this favorite European singing
bird has been naturalised in tins conntrv.?
li hi, hoiriewr, ihr. feet that a coin&r
of skylarks has been established near Wilmington,
Dele ware, and that they appear
<Miite at home in this new hemisphere?
They will form a most valuable addition to
our forest choir. The Wilmington Statesman
says that they were first introduced by
Mr. John Gorges, of that city, who received
the first lot from England in March, 1668,
and has up to the present time received and
liberated seventy-five of these little songsters.
The Statesman says:
"That they have now fairly colonized in
this neighborhood, is no longer a matter of
doubt; and from thia point as a centre, they
will probably extend aH over the country
itiiui why oecome m common as in UMf native
fields across the waters.
"The skylark is met with in every country
of Europe. Its song is as familiar to the
ear of the Russian or Italian as to that of
the English peasant. It is everywhere a
favorite, and has interwoven itself into the
very language and poetry of the nations.?
But Us cheerftil note has never, we believe
until withtt?$.laat year been heard on tty*

Nononr.?-Blackwood says that every
one's experience must have convinced
him that tnere is no such arrant rascal in 1
existence as nobody. The fellow is never
easy but when in mischief. If the street
door isleft on a jar at tnidnight, a plate chest
rausacked, a jewel box stolen or mislaid, a
window broken. An orchard, robbed, or a
slaudor spread abroad : ten to one nobody
is the guilty party. Of all the offences that
are daily committed against society, one half
at least are commited by this incorrigible
scamp.
A country carpenter having neglected to
tUAke a gallows that had boeu ordered by a
certain day, the .judge himself went to the
man and said, 'bellow, how came vou to
neglect making the gibbet that I ordered ?n
Without intending a sarcasim, the man replied,
'I atn very sorrow; for had I known it
was for your lordship, it should have been 1
doue immediately.".
8nakr Fascinations.?The 8t Louis
Herald of July 12th, tells, with apparent
faith in its truth, a case where a child became
fascinated with a black snake. This
child, the Herald states, had for a long
time been pining away without any known
disease. ' She could not be prevailed upon
to eat anything in her father's house, but
would take a piece of bread and go to the
bank of a creek, ller father followed her secretly,
and saw a large black snake make its
appearance, and would express anger by hissing
when the child took a bite of llie bread.
The next day the father shot the snake,
as it made its appearance. The child swooned,
but on recovering from thalstale waa seized
with spasms, ana contortions resembling
the snake's, and died at tho same moment of
the death of the snake.
A Suort Story.?Dickens tells the following
story of an American sea captain:
In his last voyage home, the captain had
on board a young lady of remarkable personal
attractions?a phrase I use as being one
entirely new, and oneyou never meet with
iu the newspapers. This young lady was
beloved intensely by five young gentlemen,
passengers, and in turn she was in love with
them all very ardently, but without any particular
preference for either. Not lino wing
how to make up her detcrmiuntiou in this
dilemma, she consulted my friend the captain.
The captain, being a man of original
turn of mind, any* to the young lady, "jump
overboard, and inarry the man who jumps
after vou." The voumr Ia/1v. *trt?oL- uith
the idea, and being naturally fond of bathing,
especially in warm weather, as it then was,
took the adviee of the captain, who had a
boat ready and manned, in caae of accident.
Accordingly, next morning, the five lover*
being on deck, and looking very devotedly
at the young lady, she plunged into the sea
head furemo?t. Four of the lovers immediately
jumped in after her. When the young
lady and her four lover* got ont again, she
says to the captain, "what am I to do now,
they are so wctf' Says the captain, "take
the dry one!" And the young lady did,
and married him.
The Perils or Falsehood.?In the beautiful
language of an eminent writer, "where
once concealment or deceit baa been practiced
where all should be fair and open as the
day, confidence can never be restored any
more than you can restore the white bloom
to the grape or to the plum which you have
Dressed in vour hand." How true i? thin I
and what a neglected truth by a great portion
of mankind ! Falsehood is not only of
the moat humiliating vices, but sooner or
later it is most certain to lead to many serious
crimen. With partners in trade?with
partner* in life?with friends, how important
is confidence } How essential that all
guile and hypocrisy should he guarded
against in the intercourse between jch parties!
Iiow much misery would be avoided
iu the history of many lives, had truth and
sincerity been guiding and controlling motives,
instead of prevarication and deceit!
"Any vice" said a parent in our hearing the
other day, "any vice, at least among the
frailtM* of a milder character, but falsehood.
Far better that my child should commit an
error or do a wrong and confeas, than escape

and hypocrisy. Let me know the worst, and
a remedy may possibly be applied. But
keep roe in the dark?let me be misled or
deceived, and it is impossible to tell at what
unprepared moment a crushing blow?an
overwhelming exposure may come."
'Almost the very worst thing that can be
said of a man, w that he has no enemies.
Let any one undertake to speak the truth but <
for a single day, and his enemiea will multiply
like the drops of the morning. In concealment
lies the safety of the timid man.'
