Give me the old. give me the old, Let others choose the new; Time ripens wine, nor sullies gold, That gilds the tried and true. I love the books on which are placed The names I used to love, Names lost to earth, but angel-traced Upon the b;oks above. Old hymns whose grand old melodies | Thrill on the wondering air, And upward to the listening skies That trembling spirit bear. Our modern songs are sweet, ’tissaid— f Such songs may do for you, j But sing around my dying bed The songs my mother Knew. It matters little to you now What name this relic bea - s; ’Tis old, but wrinkles on my brow Tell me of vanished years. ’ Its worth to me cannot be told, I loved the giver so ; Take thou the new, give me the old, It tells of long ago. It tells me of a va tisbed tone I list to hear again A song half sung, a work half .done, A broken, sad refrain. Jt tells me of a lonely hearth, Os tender, haunting eyes; It whispers lovingly of earth , But points me to the skies. THE BEAUTIFEI. RIVER. BY BENJ. F, TAYLOR. Like a foundling in slumber, the Summer day lay On the crimsoning threshold of even, And I thought that the glow through the azure-arched way There together we j«i uy me .«-» stream; We had nothing to do but to love and to dream, In the days that have gone on before. These are not the same (lays, though they bear the same name, With the ones I shall welcome no more, But. it may be that the angels are calling them o’er, For a Sabbath arid Summer forever. When the year’s shall forget the December they wore. And the shroud shall be woven, no, nevoid In a twilight like that, Jennie Juno for a bride, * Oh ! what more of the world could one tvisb for beside, As we gazed on the river unroll'd, Till we heard, or we fancied its musioal tide, * When it flowed through the gateway of gold. "Jennie Jnne.’t then I said, "let us no more On the banks of the beautiful river; Let the .boat bo unmoored, and be muffled the oar, And we’ll steal into Heaven together. If the angel'on duty our coming descries, You have nothing to do but throw off the disguise That you wore while you wandered with me. And the sentry shall say, ‘Welcome back to the skies. We have long been a-.waiting for thee,’ ” Oh / how sweetly she spoke, 'ere she utter ed a word, With that blush, partly hers, partly even’s. And the tone, like tbc dream of a song we once heard, As she whispared, "That way is oot Hea ven’s. For the river that runs by the realm ol ths blest Has no song on its ripple, no ttar on its breast— Oh 1 that river is nothing like this, For it glides on in shadow, beyond the world’s West, Till it breaks into beauty and bliss.” I am lingering yet. but I linger alone, On the banks of tiie beautiful river; ’ ris the twin of ihat dvy. but the wave where it shone Bears the willow tree’s shadow forever. .‘I Frenchman rcocntly liung birn-> sell because his grocer and jnned bins for a bill of S2(L Thereupon £is son shot the grocer.

If he spnnks to a lew persons ho keeps bad company; If be passes (hem by he is lictter than other folks. If he has a buggy lie is extravagant; if he has none he is deficient in necessary pride.

If any parent wishes a rcceipc how to spoil a daughter, it can be easily and read ily given and can be proved by the experi ence of hundreds to bo certain—efficacious 1. Be alwsys telling from her earliest childhood, what a beautiful creature she is- It is a capital way of inflating the vanity of a little girl to bo constantly exclaiming, ••How pretty !” Children understand such flattery even when in the nurse arms, and the evil is done to the character in its ear liest formation. •2. Begin, as soon as she can toddle, to dress her out in fashionable clothing and rich dresses. Tot a hoop upon her at once with all the artificial adorumentsof flounces and leathers, and flowers and curls. Fond ness for dress will thus become a prominent characteristic, and will usurp the whole at tention of the young mortal, and be a long step towards spoiling her. 3. Let her visit so much that she finds no happiness at home and therefore will not be apt to stay there and learn tome duties. It rs a capital thing for a spoiled daughter, to sc6k nil her happiness in visiting, aud change of place and associates. She will thus grow as useless as modem fashionable parents delight that thair daughters should be. -* '•*- 4. Be careful that her education gives her a smattering o f all tbc accomplishments) without the slightest knowledge of the thing really useful in lire. If her mind aud time are occupied in modern accomplishment there will be no thought ol the necessity and virtue of being o! some real use to somebody, pervading her heart, and she will soon be leady as a spoiled daughter, 5. Asa consequence keep her in pro found ignorance of all the useful arts ol housoke >ping, impressing upon her mind that it is vulgai to do anything (or your self, or to learn bow anything is done iu the house. A spoiled daughter should nev er be taught the myateries of the kitebem such things a lady always leaves to the ser vants.

The Wile’s Influence. The late Judge O'Neal, of South Carol!* na. some years since, in ? letter to tho Yorkville Enquirer, gave the following ins* oident in the life of Judge Wm. Smith.— A’e think this incident, or the substance of it, was afterwards incorporated in the ven erable judge’s interesting work—“ The Bench and Bar of Soa’h Carolina. - ” He had the rare blessing to win the love of one of the purest; mildest and best of women, whose character has ever been pre sent to the writer, ne marrM Margaret DutT. lu his worst days she never upbraid ed him by words, look or gesture, but al ways cost bite as if he was oue of the kinds est and best of husbands, This course on her part humbled him, and made him jveep like a child. This sentence, It is hopedj will be remembered, was the language of Judge Smith to the friend already uamed, and to those who knew the stern, unbend ing public character of the Judge, it will teach a lesson sos how much a patient woe man’s love can accomplish. He was at lssf i pforint and by an instance of her patient love and devotion lie himself told it, The cvemning before the return day of the Court of Common Pleas for York Dis tric, a client called with fifty notes to be put in suit. Mr. Smith was not in his office —he was on what is now fashionably term •U a spree—then a frolic. Mrs. Smith re ceived the notes and sat down in the office to the work of issuing the writs and pro cesses. She spent the night at work—Mr. Smith in ‘riotous living.’ At daylight, on his way home from his caronsats, he saw a light in his office, and to bis great surprise saw bis amiable wife, who had just eomple* ted what ought to have been his work, with her head on the table and a leep. His en try awoke her. She told him what she had done, and showed him her night’s work— fifty writs o and processes. This bowed the strong man, “he fell on his knees, implored her pardon, and then and there faithfully while he lived.” “This promise,” says my friend, Col. Williams, ,- h# faithfully kept.’ and said the Judge told him, “from that day everything I touched turned to gold.’ Ilis - entire success in life, says Col. Will iams. he set down to his faithful observance to this noble promise. No better eulogy could be pronounced c a Mrs. Smith than haj just "been given in tbe words of her distinguished husband. Tbe reformation of such a man as Wm. Smith ia a chaplet of glory which Jfew women have been permitted to wear. To tbe people of South Carolina, nnd especially of York District, cet taiuly no stronger argument in fivor of temperance, total abstinence, need not be given. Ntones Rolled A way. •The holly woWu of old, as thoy walked t ) the grave of our'tord, were full of fears about the stone at the door - They said among themselves, “who of us shall roll away iu« s.oue from the door ot the sepul chre?’ But theif fears were neodlees.— •When thev looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away.’ What a striking emblem we have in this simple narrative of the experience of many Christians ! llow often bcl evers !*e op pressed and cast down by anticipation qf evils, and yet, in time need, find the thiug thsy feared removed, and the stona rolled away.’ A large propotion of a saint’s an xieties arise from things wbich really n«v» happen.
