They passed with I Hie .-mnmer’s breath., but their niem f ories are enshrined in our hearts, and | flteir music ec'mes al will, like soft, sweet strains from the tombs of the past. , The sun seeks the sontbland. and leaves us slowly, sadly, painting pic- I titre- in tin- west as it kisses good day, ;tliat linger until night drops ]ht cur tain and fieaven lights its lamps. lii the gloopi of darkness an lev spirit creeps out from the north with noise less tread. It touches the leaves.and t I they turn to blood; it breatlies upon tlie flowers, ami their petals he shat tered ; with its deft tinners it weaves a fleecy network of frost lace that covers the field's dead urasses, ami melts into tears with the rising stpi. Golden-haired Summer has laid its head 111 tlie lap of Autumn, that en tombs her dead sisters timid the fallen I leaves. From the North comes the i white-bearded mourners who unroll i Ihe snowy winding sheet, that shall ( f cover the earth with purity, and be- I Heath which shall sleep the violet un til the resurrection of vernal Spting. If you desire the love, of God and man be humble; for the proud heart as'it loves none but itself, so it is I beloved of none but by itself: the, { voice of humanity is God’s music, land the silence of humanity is God's > rhetoric. . I It is not so easy as philosophers tell ■ us to lava-ide our prejudices: mere ■ volition cannot enable us to divest I ourselves of long established feel ings, ami reason is averse to laying aside theories it has once been taught to admire. | , -4 The passions are the only orators I t that never succeed. They are, as it, were, nature’s art of elocptence— ‘ | fraught with infallible rules. Nim j plieity, with the aid of passions, per-1 ! suades more than the utmost elo- ‘ ; quence without it. I The triumphs of truth are the most j glorious, chiefly because they arc the 1 '-most bloodless of all victorious, de-; riving their highest lustre from the' number of the saved, not of the .-lain. 7' Gr T 11. .1 G N 7’7 r E A//?/; /; /• dt"P i ’-M : nrw M Ar.-'ff HELI,TOY.

For their own sakes, and for ( the good of others, these opportuui- j ties ought to be improved to the 1 uttermost.

If, as a class, young wo men would everywhere band together , and resolutely set their faces against - the pernicious social drinking cus- ' toms, a mighty impulse would be given to temperance reform, thou sands now in danger of perishing through drink would be rescued and saved, and tlie fountains of untofcl and indescribable misery would be ! sealed up. - * We must not calculate on the wea-1 ther, nor on fortune, but upon God 1 and ourselves.

LEGEND, I Lvre is a beautiful legend eqiinec ted 'vith (lie sight on w hich (In- Tem ple of Solomon was erected. It is said to have been occupied in commbn by two brothers, one of whom, had'a faiiiily. but the other had none. On ( I he,spot was a lield of wheat. Ou the evening sarceeding the. harvest, tlie wlieat having been gaijierefl in slmcks, ( the eld-.-r brother -aid Io his wife: 1 "My younger brother is unable to. bear Hie burden and heat of the day. 1 will arise, take oil my shocks, ami playe them with his, without Ids ' kiyowlcdgc." The younger brother being actuated by the same benevolent motive, said | j.tjO himself: l '.\ly elder brother has a family and I I Vi.iye ijom-. I will contribute to Ilujr supporL I w-itl arise, take iofl'f iny shucks, and place them with hi w itlmill hi- knowledge.” , A'ulge of their astonishnmnt whim 1 on Im following morning thvv found their respeclivi; shocks wi;re nil-, diniini-hed. This course of events | transpired for several nig'hts, When I , eiujli resolved in his own mind to stand 1 ' gustrd. mid if possible snlve’the mys-' fery. They did,so,and on the fiillow , insj night they met each other half' way In-tween their respective shocks' with I heir arms full. I’pon ground hallowed bv such as-i socialions as this, was the Temple of ; ■'ojoinoti built, —so spacioti-. so mag iiifieept, the wonder and admiration; iof the world. Alas! in these days liow many would sooner steal their j brother's whole shock than add to it ■ 1 iingle sheaf ! —u- Tluit house will be kept, in turmoil 1 win-re there is no toleration of each other’s error-. If you lay a single i piece of wood on the grate ami apply ■ tla; fire to it, it will go out; put ,011 atmther stick and limy will burn; add Itim a dozen sticks mid you will.liave aUaz.e. If one member of the family I gets into a passion tuni is let alone, lie will cool down, and may possibly be iishamed and repent. But oppose I temper to temper, pile on all the fuel ! draw' in another of the. group, and let one harsh answer be follow'ed by others and there will soon tic a blaze j that will enwrap them till. Guard your children against the sen • saliomil story papers of the present j age. If you do not, you may be—un consciously—raising up subjects for I the gallows. Nothing on earth so de grades ami corrupts public morals as the vile slut)' which now teems from | the press daily, ami hourly pours forth 1 to every nook and corner of the earth, poisoning the minds of tlie rising gen ieration, auil preparing a rich harvest for the hangman and Satan. Let the , fathers and mothers of the present day ask themselves whether they are i doing their duty, in selecting reading matter for their children. And so. one step higher, man comes I into the realm of sentiment and will. 1 j He sees the grandeur of justice, the - victory of love. Hie eternity that lie -1 longs to all moral nature. He does not then invent his sentiment or his act, but obeys a pre-existing right | which he sees. YVc arrive at virtue ' by taking its direction instead of int j posing ours. As amber attracts a straw, so does j j beauty attract admiration, which only ■ lasts while the warmth .continues ; but virtue, wisdom, goodness, and real worth, like stone, never loose their i ' power. These are the true graces i 1 which are linked ami tied hand in ( hand, because it is by their influence i ; that, human hearts arc so firmly I united to each other. — Accustom yourself to think vigor ously. Mental capital, like pecuniary, I to be worth anything, must be well j invested—must he. rightly adjusted anil applied, and to this end careful, deep and intense thought is necessary il great results are looked for. There is no such tiling as standing still in this world, ( litinge is the eternal i law of nature. Be stirring as the time, be tire with tire, threaten the threatener, and out- j I face the brow of bragging horror: so I sliall inferior eyes that borrow their: 1 behaviors from the great grow great 1 iby our example, and put on the | dauntless spirit of resolution. ntf ratrntj ru-Arr 1 Vuinbi-r IS.

Another day has come and gone, i leaving its all older ami wiser, but as I yet no eommimications have been rc- t eeived indicating that any "tie has dis-! covered a man who can drink out of a I spring without getting the end of his nose wet. At the X orktown celebration a “blarsted Hingli.-hinan,” after sur veying the situation and surroundings, said. "1 can well umlerstaml now' why ' | Lord Cornwallis surrendered York-j town. If I owned such a place I would I vive it up mvself.'” “Ma,” said an inquisitive little girl, I “will rich and poor folks live together | when they go to heaven?” “Yes, nn' dear, they will be all alike there?” “Then, ma, why don’t rich and poor Christians associate together here?” ! The mother did not answer. A household magazine says a little | whisky and water will give a rich (polish to furniture. It doesn’t say how you apply it, but we suppose you ! rinse your throat with the water, drink 1 the whisky and rub the furniture with ; a flannel rag. i It makes a boy heart-sick as the. ; winter’s wood oegifts to loom up in .

The upstart that rose to a point of I order after sitting down upon the ag gressive end of a pin. was assured by the chair that the point was well taken. They told the old man his girl was keeping a milliner store, and when he went home and told it, all the neigli bors wondered what she kept a mill in her store for.

'There are smne persons on whom i their faults sit well, and others who ; are made ungraceful by their good I qualities. Many a man lias reached the suhiniit ! if fame, ami then looked down into lie humble valley he came from and longed to be there again. The keenest abuse of our enemies vill not hurt us so much in the e-ti . nation of the discerning as tlic’inju lieious praise of our friends. If thou hide thy treasure, upon the. ■arth how eanst thou expect to find it in heaven? Canst thou hope to lie a sharer where thou hast reposed no stock. A year! A life! YVhat are they? rhe telling of a tale, the passirtg of a meteor, a dim speck seen for a mo ment on time’s horizon, dropping into eternity. i They who have never known pros- I peritv can hardly be said to be un | happy; it is from the remembrance I of joys we have lost that the arrows I "f affliction tire pointed. The hand is the mind’s own perfect, j vassal, and when, through age or ill ness, the connection between them is interrupted, there are few more afl’eet ing tokens of human decay. Vanity is so constantly solicitous of self that, even where its own claims are interested, it directly seeks the element which it loves by showing how little is deserved by other-. There are people in this wofld who would make just as much stir, and do just as much good, and benefit society ( just as much—and we don’t, know but ' more—-were they killed and stuffed. YVe find in friendship the assurance of good advice, emulation of good example, partieij ation in sorrow, help in time of need and all without being sought, waited for or purchased Humility is a virtue all preach, none, practice, and yet everybody is content to hear. The master thinks'it good doctrine for his servant, the laity for the clergy and the Clergy for the laity. How vilely he has lost himself that j becomes a slave to his servant and j exalts him to the dignity of his i maker? Gold is the god, the wife, | the friend of the money-monger of , the world. I The world is a looking-glass, and I gives back to every man the reflec i lion of his own face.
