From the same ground he obtained two
or three hundred pumpkins, and bis
family supply of dry beaus. From a
bed of six rods square he usually ob
tained sixty bushels of onions ; these lie
sold at $1 per bushel, and the amount
purchased his flour. Ttyyi from one

obtained his breadstuff's. Thc rest of
the ground was appropriated to all sorts

Dr. Paley could imagine nothing more
insipid than a man and his wife living
together more than thirty years, without
a single conjugal quarrel.
The most valuable part of every
man’s education is that which he re
ceives from himself, especially when
thc active energy ol his character makes
ample amends tor the want of a more
finished course of study.
I resolve to neglect nothing to secure
my eternal peace, more than if I had

Seest thou not, oh man, thc loveli*
ss of the Heaven at night, and dost
thou, by it, know, though thou canst see
him not, still the sun exists? Why
then, when everywhere thou beholdest
His glorious works, wilt thou say, be
cause thou seest him not, there is no
God!
Tbe upright man should never be dis-

Somebody says, that—“ If you are
trouble, set about doing good to
mebody; put on your hat and visit
the sick and the poor; inquire into their
ants, and administer unto them ; seek
it the desolate and oppressed, and tell
them of the consolations of religion.—
1 have often tried this method, and have
Iways found it the best medicine fui a

The Cup op Life.—Life is truly a
ingled cup, consisting of sweet and bit-
r. It is a changeable day, consisting
of lightsaadsbadcs. Every day brings
some cup of pleasure to slake the thirs
ty soul; but it is not unmingled—for ev
ery day alsobring3 its Sorrows. Every
day brings some good, and every day
extorts some sigh. There is no day so
dark as not to be cheered by the light
of hope, and 3*et its fight perpetually
learns upon the hour of mental dark-
ess and sorrow, as the sun often looks
through the overhanging cloud, and
mingles its beams with drops of the fall
ing shower. Such is life, and we must
make the best of it, as it is. To be ela
ted with Us pleasures and prospects, so
as not to think of its sorrows, will lead
tn disappointments—for they will find us
out. To brood over .'ts ills, lo the neg
lect of the good wc may enjoy, is un
wise. ■
Nothing is Lost.—The drop that
ingles with the flood—the sand drop
ped on tho seashore—the word you
’c spoken—will not be lost. Each
l have its influence and be felt, till-
time shall be no more. Have you ever
Jit of the effect that might be pro
duced by a single word? Drop it plea-
antly among a group, and it will mako
t dozen happy, lo return to tbeir homes
o produce the same effect on a hundred,
perhaps. A had word may arouse tho
indignation of a whole neighborhood ;
it may spread like wildfire to produce
disastrous effects. As no word is lost,
be caieful how you speak—speak right,
speak kindly. The influence you may
exert by a life of kindness—by words
ipped among the young and the old-—
is incalculable. It will not cease when
your bodies lie in the grave, but will be
felt, wider and still wider as year after
year passes away. Who, then, will not
exert himself for thc welfare of millions ?
Walk Circumspectly.—Real Chris-
..jus walk as warily in the world as a
man or woman neatly appareled would
do amongst a multitude that were all
sullied and beu irod —-Dr. Lcigklon.
The greatest friend of Truth is Time,
her greatest enemy is Prejudice, and her
constant companion is Quotility.
Wealth.—Martin Luther said
Wealth is the smallest of the gifts of
God. What is it, to be compared with
His word, or corporeal gifts, such as
beauty, health and activity? What is’
it to the gifts of the mind, such as intel
lect, science and taste ?” ^ . ,
How to Improve the Heart.—Ne-
:r lose an opportunity of seeing any
thing beautiful. Beauty is God’s hand
writing—a wayside sacrament. Wel
come it iu every fair face—every fair
sky—-every fair v ftower—-and thank Him
pletely'winded, when he arrived at it
^gain, that he was obliged to , sit down
on the wrong side to recover his breath,
drink it io simply and earnestly, with
all of your eyes. *Tis a . charmed
draught—a cup of blessing^
