Old Friends. 0, timo in Bwoct when roses meet, With spring's sweet breath around thorn, And sweet the cost, when hearts are lost If those we love huvc fouud them ; And sweet the mind that btill can find A elar in darkest weather, But naught can be swpet to see, As old friends met together. . i Those days of old, wheu youth was bold, And time stole wings to speed it, And yon no'er knew how fast time flew, Or knowing, did not heed it; Though grey oaoh brow thut meets us now, Forage brings wintry weather, Yet naught can be bo sweet to see As thobc old friends togother. The few long known whom yeari havo shown With lieui'ts that friendship blosse?;v ' A hand to cheqr, ^erhnnce' To sootB a fiiond's distresses ; "Who htriped and ti iodntill Bid? by side, if friend to face hard weather; O, this may wo yet joy to seo, And meet old friends together. Smiles. A pleasant smile to light the 03-0, And "fill the heart with gladness, To chase away tho the tears of grief, And hush the sigh of Badness ; To lend the fnce 11 fairer charm, A soul of love expressing. That to earth must divinely bring A comfort and a blessing. O, erailes lmve power a world of good To fliug around us over; Then let us wear their golden beams, And quench their ardor never, For while a smile illumes the eye, And wreathes tholip of beauty, The task of life must ever be, A puro and plensr.ut duty. The Best Pears I evor Tasted. Boys! what a treat are ripo juicy pears. Take one whoso treasury of sweets is bo full, that it Bcoms ready to burst into plumpnt if.; and whose soft creamy tinge on one side shading into a crimson Mush on the other, reveals to the eye the toast that awaits the palate. IIow it makes the uiouth water to look upoD it! I do not doubt that you have felt this you bavo gazed wishfully at the tempting load of a neighbor's pear tree. But I hope, unlike our first parent, you have been able to resist the temptation if you could not get the fruit honestly. I will remember tho finest pears I ever tasted. Do you ask what kind thoy were? Well, 1 have forgotten, whother they wero Bell, Sieklo, Bartlett, what not! I do not expect ever to taste the like again. And what is singular about it is. that while thesa r?e?rs were so delightful to me, I have gooo reasons for thinking they were decidedly distasteful to one of my companions. Now would you know what made tho difference? Just listen, and I will tell you. - Away back in boyhood?one August morning, on going to the old Academy where most of us village lads finished up our education, my appearance excited unueual interest on the pait of ray school-mates, and they all set up a hurrahing when I came in sight. I had no idea that I was io be so distinguished a character, and was entirc-lv unconscious of deserving and special attentions. A.md this uproar, I heard the exclamations?"How did you like those pears" "A fine treat you had." "Hand over a fow !" Though I was pretty wide awake to the village affairs in general, and those of our boy community in particular, I was all in a fog here, and did not well know how to meet the jeers of my comrades. I might have told I hem I was rather partial to nice pears, but I had not had the chance of gratifying my taste for some time. After the tempest had spent itself 6oincwhnt, I loarnod by snatches from the boys, the following facts. Late the evening before, our village merchant having locked his store, observed as ho was going homo a singular disturbance in the branches of a pear tree, which stood in the yard of a maiden lady, his near neighbor. It was the more strange, becauso the evening was quiet, and tne birds as well as men were expected to be at at rest. .Being curious to examine farther, he crept softly into yard and under the tree, when lo ! he saw, as did the old man in the fable of tho spelling books, in dim outline, a young rouge making free with fruit not his own. Tiie juvenile culprit, far from relishing the presence of an observer, with very ill grace obeyed the summons to come down. He was required to empty his pockets, after which he underwent a thorough shaking, upon tho principle, I suppose, that the process of clearing the dust out of a dirty carpet, was fitted to start the roguery outof a thievish boy. How like wild-fire does naws fly into a quiat'gossippitig \yllage, if only dispatched from th? head quarters of intelligence?the countr? store. This was in the mouths of Jill the boys and some of their elders when I Spjienred ; and what unused me to be recipient of fiu< h uproarious shouts, was, that tbe^torekeeper pointed nj$ out as the culpnt^tAhe .previous evening. Perhaps *4he real offender; keeping fast hold of his cunriidgyoth withstanding the violent efforts ta'aisiodge it?to the inquiry, "What was liijMiame," gave mine instead, and as our fom>8-wcre -not dissimilar, the .giercbant thought the answer correct. My companions soon'found from my appearance that I was. innocent, and rajf.boyish pride of eharijcTeFvc^KId not suffer me to rest until I had UuVrietfoif^toX the 'mistaken informer, and witb:no^litlle sj^rit,repelled the charge, ase^rtingct^ftt-at the hSurnamed I was in bed, h*Ving4pent aH the?jjcening at home, and J rfjed to .my parents as witnesses of the* flrajb' y^'v.a6 ^>l(n|A|d?'of bii mistake; i^H'be woulcf rectify" it at once, attd went f toTO^fody whose fruit had Jjpen molested, andiOT'tber lUjrf, fie Ijad accused.ti*3 Wong on&mglt ara^fer.went up.Tgster than did BdWd af#cks aftcrv>n nbstud panic, and I came off wiihjy^gpolofs. .We boys spon fo^^oiit.ingo^ir sjjr way, who'jhe real culpriWa? ; ()uC t<ba ?^?r heads wefa-none but, yon wv, ?you hav? not tol J ina.Jlf" aoout these delicious .

Tlio recent discoveries of gol<L<JlVf- Fra9er'b River will lead many to examine tbeir maps in vain for tbe purpose of finding the precise locality of this important stream. Frnser's river empties jyto the Gulf of Georgia, a branch of Pujjut's tjouud, a few tuiles north of tbe 40th parallel, which is the boundary between our territory and tbo British possessions. Its head-waters interlock with those of the Columbia and the Athabasca. For the first half of its course it runs in a southerly direction, when it turns westward. At the distanco of 100 miles . froin ita uiouth it is ioined bv Thomnson'B river, t? considerably hi renin flowing from ! the eastward. The cascade range of Mountains, which may be regaidcd as a conlin nation of Sierra Nevada, censes here. At tlie junction pf tho rivers, and.in the imme(liiUeyiacinit^lie the diggins which are pnu?irig*B&-Jrak]ch excitement or. tho Paci11<5' coast. They have been worked mot e or less Bince last summer, but their real importance was not ascertained until lately. Fort Langley, the lowest post of tho Hudson's Bay Company on Fraser'a lliver, is situated on the left bank about, 25 miles from ila mouth. Thus far the stream i6 navigable for vessels of considerable burden The next post is Fort Hope, at the month, of Que-que-alla liiver, (50 miles above Fort Langley. To the "Falls" is 12 miles further, and thence to Thompson's River Forks is 55 miles. Thus tho wholo distance from the mouth of Frasor's River to tho gold diggings at Thompson's River is 1G0 miles, or thereabout. Above Fort Langley tho rivers is practicable for batteaux of three tonB burden?a -1 J _ . ? * hum eiiu iuuious navigation? mil alter passing tho "Falls" canoes only can be used.? But the journey must really bo made on foot from the Falls, and is exceedingly laborious und rugged. There are no horses or mules to he procured in all that region. It is by the route above indicated that most of the gold-seekera will find their way to the new places. There is however, another route, via the Columbia River and the Dallas ; but the distance is four or five hundred miles. Tho latitude of tho Thompson's River Forks is about 50 degrees 30 minutes, or nearly three hundred miles further north than Quebec. But it must be remeniben-d that the climate on the Pacific coast is mild in comparison with that of similar latitudes cast of the Rocky Mountains. On tho hanks of the Frasor River, in the Hudson Bay country, gold has been found in the greatest quantities. Though we are informed tho auriferous fields extend to tho American side, it is certain the best lie on English soil. The region extends from the vinciuity of Fort Colville, Washington Territory, where successful mining operations utlyu uuuil chiiiuu (hi 1ui >r.llh, iii (% ijuiuj-westly direction to Fort Thompson in the British possessions, and is principally east of the Cascade range of mountains and between Fraser River and the western b?se of the Rocky Mountains. The diggings nro located between 48 degrees and 51 degrees north, and 117 degrees and 127 degrees west longitude, covering a space about one hundred and forty miles square. Several steamships, loaded with miners and others, have left the American cities for the gold fields. It seems that the Hudson's Bay Company, whoso lease of British Oregon does not expire until May, 1859, imposes a tax of five dollars a month on every American for the privilege of digging lor the precious metal. Of course the Americans gtumble loudly at the imposition, and not a few anathemas are occasionally hurled at the heads of the Administrations who, under the Ashburton treaty surrendered the territory on which those gold fields are situated, to Great Britain. The New York Times mournfully remarks that if "54-40" had been insisted upon, the whole of this auriferous region would have belonged to the United States. The Passions and Affections. The injuries to health by severe intellectual exercises or irregular imagination, are of less account than those caused by illmanaged affections and passions.?From this source many diseases have their origin, and powerful influence is always exerted on the bodily health. Some of the passions have an exciting and others a depressing influence, the consequences of both being equally hurtful, as the- excitement of the former class is followed by corresponding depression of tho nervous power. Anger, for instance, when violent, amounting in itself almost to a paroxysm of disease, is succeeded by exhaustion, as complete as would havo been produced by long-continued annoyance without the temporary ebullition qf temper.?Care, sorrow, envy, avarice, ambition, and other "harpies of the soul," prey upon tho vitals. The fever of speculation, excited by covetousness is another mental condition destructive to health. The same effect is produced by private gambling as by undue commercial speculation. The influence of despondent fear, of disappointed ambition of unrequitted love, and other painful affections of the soul, is familiarly known. Thfe disorders caused by them are more heartfu! to the body, and more. hard to be cured, than corporeal exertion,because tho latter are removed by sleep and rest. which the former repel rather than ^invite. Tho most important functions of the body are disordered, when the passions have undue-control. Digestion and nutrition are first deranged, and if sleep is disturbed as well as diet disordered, the vigor of tho heart is diminished, the nerves enfeebled, and the restorative processes of the frame obstructed. With the decay of bodily health th'6 mental disorder increases, the **o mutually aolinjpTjpd reacting on each otter, till health is&rlbusly injured. The immediate operation of the various passiops ?and" affections" differ much, but the general effect pn the constitution^ sapi^as id most cases. Excess, or irregularity- e^en, of the agreeable affections of the tfotilTmay be detrimental to health. Violence of joy Mfcd irf$$|tty wt thV.'nervous rtower.

Quite a sp.icy debate took place in the J Methodist General Conference, lately held i in Nashville, on a proposition to amend the i "Discipline" of the church by spiking qut1 the rules respecting dic*s. The article on that subject has the following passage*v ' Receive none into the church till they have left oHf superfluous ornaments. * * * Giv? no ticket to any that wear high heads, enormous bonnets, ruffles, or rings. "The putting on of gold and costly apparel' is also, iu another place, reckoued among sins to be avoided." "The - Kev. Mr. Lush, of Mississppi, the mover of the resolution to strike out, contended that the law was a dead letter, and that it was a 'scandalous inconsistency' that the precept and practice of the denomination should lie so widely at variance with oilier. 'Such was "tile laxity of administration, that candidates would be received into the church though loaded down with a weight of gold under which they could , scarcely walk.' The speaker was very severe upon his brother ministers for wearing ! gold spectacles. Lie said the glass would magnify just as well if set iu iron or steel. He denounced gold studs, gold watchchains, gold-headed canes and diamond breastpins with much fervor. "Another speaker was for bringing the > practice of the people up to the starndaru j of the Discipline, instead of accommodating j the Discipline to the practice of tliti people, lie thought it very ridiculons to admit that superfluity of dre<s was wrong, and than expunge tiio rule because people would not comply with it. ' Another contended that the rule against 'superfluous ornaments' did not apply to sm-h things as spectacles and walking canes. He agreed, also, that even if these things - e _L : J 1 . . > woiu luruiouen, mere was not <i woril in Script lire against tho use of tliein by im-'n? 1 that iho precept applied exclusively to 'tin. women.'" "The Rev. Dr. Leo, of Virginia was in \ favor of expunging. Ho admitted that ho I bad to use histoid spectacles to Bee what was in llie Discipline. lie did not under- ! stand, and never had understood it. What ' ornament was superfluous? Who could Bay at what precise point ornaments ceased to be allowable and become supertlous ? LL" ridiculed that we might carry as many twenty dollar gold pieces in our pockets as wo plea?e, but if we should stick a little bit of it in the bosom, somebody would be greatly scandalised. Ho always found enough to do in preaching about more important matters, without descending to these trilles. '"Another member from Virginia protest eci against ur. L.ee's 6peccli going forth as an exponent of the sentiment oi' the Methodises of that State. "Tho Rev. Mr. Deems deprecated the tendency to superfluity in in dre6.?, but was in favor of abolishing the rule. lie represented it as'lifting a straw to the whirlwind.' 'It might do for the regulation of a society, but for the church to assume to he the mantua-maker, milliner and tailor for her members, was a contemptible desecration of of her sacred office.' lie was in favor of getting the true sap to circulate through the tree, so that it should put forth healthy leaves, buldid not believe in pullingotf this leaf and that, &c. "After considerable discussion, the subject was indefinitely postponed." Society and Early Marriagon. Old black wood, that Nestor of magazines, indulges in the following sensible remarks. They were written for the other side of the Atlantic, but will bear transportation : "Seriously, I do not think the clubs alone have to answer for the decrease in early marriages. Others improvements in society ! must bear their share of blame. I would i back the hearts?I mean the girl?against the cluhs any da)', only give them fair play.

A true woman has much more chance?we ali know il?of winning any love that is worth her winning, in her own home, in her undress, in her little nameless every unstudied graces, sitting on a stile, loitering by ubrook, rattling cn a railway carriage, or busy, unconscious amid common household duties, than in what the sex choose to consider the special 6cenfc3 of their glories and their triumphs. "I have-read somewhere, or have been told, that any woman, three removes from a Gorgon in personal attractions, can make anv man propose to berifshe I ma the chance of living in the same house' with him for a month. I am inclined with some modification, to bulievo it, humiliating as it may seem to us noble animals.
