While here I tread lifers weary way;
Such frieud 1 want, and evair more.
I want true love, true woman’s love,
As pure as that which rules above,
As deep as the unsounded m*a,
And broad as its immensity;
And even more;
I want a smile to light my home,
A kiss to greet me when I come,
A heart whose sweet and holy chime
Shall with my own keep even time;
Such* love I want< and even more.
I want a ydm, secluded place
In the kind thoughts of all my race.
I want that men should si>eak of me
lu gentlo tones of charity ;
And even more :
I want to feel, deep in my heart,
I have acted well my humble part ;
And, when my earthly course is run,
I want the Master’s kind “Well done 1”
All this I want, and nothing more.

Ml WANTS. Tin* empire of woman is the em
pire of soilness, of address, of com
placency. Her commands are ca
resses, her tneuaers tears.
The mau of enlightened under
standing and persevering ardor has
many sources of enjoyment which
the ignorant mac cannot reach.
Uo who tells a lie is not sensi
ble how great a task he undertakes;
for he must be forced to invent
twenty moro to maintain one.

It good people would but make
goodness agreeable, and smile in
stead of frowning in their virtue,
how many would they win to the
good cause ?
It. is our duty not only to scatter
benefit., but even to strew flowers
for the sake of our fellow-travelers
in the pathway of this wretched
world.
Pleasure, like quicksilver, is
bright and shy. If we strive to
grasp it, it still eludes ns, and still
glitters. We perhaps seise it at
last, and find it rank poison.
The greatest thoughts seem de
graded in their passage through lit
tle minds. Even the winds ot heav
en make but mean music when
wh stling through a key hole.
Friendship does not consist in
words, in great dinuers, nor un
measured smiles. Show me the
man who will break his last loaf
with me, and I will call that man
friend.
Man is like a snow ball. Leave
him lying in idleness against the
sunny fence of prosperity, and all
the good that's in him melts like
butter; but kick him around and
he gathers strength with every suc
cessive revolution, until he grows
into an nvalatiche. To succeed you
must keep moving.
Virtue, in itself so beautiful, ap
pears to us in her own colors so
tong ns we have no intent to tar
nish Iter image. Man, indeed,does
not hate it. lor itself, but for the
check it puts upon his desires. If
its presence brought no constraint
and its aspect no humiliation, he
would never cense to rely upon it,
and to find it beautiful and attrac
tive.

VVe have to thank Senator
Brown that a blunder that would
have been so damaging in its r^suits
was avoided, and that to-day the
course and attitude of the Demo
crats in the Senate command tbe
respect of the who’e country and
the hearty endorsement of tbe Dem
ocratic party, and thousands of
honest Republicans everywhere.

WORDS OF WISDOM.
A wise man is like a spring lock,
always more ready to shut titan to
open.
Sweep first before your own door
before you sweep before your neigh
bor's.
The pa-sion ot acquiring riches
in order to suppoit vain expenses,
corrupts the purest soul.
Take your place modestly at life’s
banquet, Krebel, nnd ask for noth
ing not in the bill of fare.
Heaven over n nders iter dews to
tlie earth, but earth seldom, or
never, renders her dues to Heaven.
Scandal, like the Nile, is fed by
innumerable streams; but it is ex
tremely difficult to trace it to its
sou ce.
Four tilings comes not back; the
broken word, the sped urrow, the
past life and neglected opportuni
ty.
A man cannot possess anything
that is better liiau a good woman,
nor anything lliut is worse than a
had one.
To maintain a steady and unbro
ken mind, amidst all the chocks of
the wot id, marks a go at and noble
spirit.
Wisdom consists not in seeing
what is directly bqlore us, but in
discerning those things which may
come it pass.
Men are sometimes accused of
pride because their accusers would
tie pioud themselves if they were
iu their place.
It is a pretty saying of an old
writer, that men, like hooks, begin
and end with blauk leaves—infan
cy end senility.
All men who do anything must
endure a depreciation of their el-
torts; it is the dirt which their
chariot wheels throw up.
A head properly constituted can.
uccoinmodr itsell to whatever pil -
lows the vicissitudes of fortune mny
place under it.
R elieve misfortune quickly. A
man ib like sn egg—tbe longer he
is kept in hot water, the harder he
is when tuken out.
Go to strangers for charity, to
acquaintances tor advice, and to
relatives for nothing—and you will
always have a supply.
To know exactly how much mis
chief may be ventured upon with
impunity, is knowledge enough lor
a little {peat man.
