'I he more we live, more brief appears Our lile’s succeeding stages; A day to childhood seeuis a year, And years like passing ages. The gladsome cuircntcf our youth, Ere passion yet disorders, Steals lingering like a river smooth Alojg the grussy borders. But as the careworn cheeks grow wan, And sorrow's that fly thicker, Ye stars, that measure life to man, Why stem your courses quicker? When joys have loet their bloom and breath And life itself is vapid, Why, ns we near the Falls of Death, Feel we its tide more rapid^ It may be strauge, yet who would change Time’s course to slower speeding, When one hy one our friends have gone And left our bosom bleeding? Heaven gives our years of fading strength Indemnifying deftness, And those of youth a seeming length Proportioned to their sweetness. TRUTH. [Marietta Journal j What is there mote noble, more strikingly characteristic, in man, tlmn truth? God in his wisdom has cieatcd man like unto him. He is endowed with good tnoruls, which if used right will carry him safe through this world, leaving behind u good example, and a name that will lust through ugta, wjien lie will have found rest in “the beautiful home beyond/* Truthfulness within itself is <t blessing to man, it is a shield in temptation. You never see a person strictly truthful w ith other degrad ing qualities about him. It should be impressed on the mind when young. Some of our noblest men are withheld from wrong acts, when ear ly recollections springing up in their memories of lessons o! truth learned, pt-rhaps at lond mother’s knee, whose lips are now silent. It is said that Washington, the father of our coun try, when asked ol his father, if he cut. his licit tree, hesitated, but only lor a moment, then lifting his tiuth fill eyes to his father’s lace he said: “Yes, lather, it was I who cut your tree with my new hatchet; I can’t till yon an untruth.” There wn- something so noble in the confession. How proud that lather must have felt, when he opened his arms and bade his son enter; his open troth lulm-ss wi<s valued lat' bight i than many fruit trees would have been. One of the wise propnets has said: “A w holesome tongue is i bo tree ol life. '—Then We should be guarded in om words, if we tire tempted to sp< >ik falsely strive to overcome it, and we will live out our allotted time wi ll a peaceful conscience, and wrien’ the black winged messenger. ])• ai.h, cumeth, we will w* nd our wav to Llie far away home ot the sou!, where there is nothing (hut muketh,a lie. • • la-crib:- f.,r be \ 11V'A NCR.

Under the SENSIBLE SENTIMENT. Hope is such a bait it covers any hook. Frout the lowest depth thero is t path to the lot: lost bight. Conscience is the voice of the soul; the passions are ths voice of the body. All ot*hor knowledge is hurtful to vim who has not honesty and goad nature. • A merry heart doeth good like a medicine; but u, broken spirit drieth the bones. Let no man presume to give ad* vice to others that has not giveu good counsel to himself. Circumstances from the character i but, like petrifying mutters, they harden while they form. Hatred is so durable and so obsti nate that reconciliation on a sick-bed - is a sign Of death. Tho man who can hold histougue longest is the one who will come out successful in the cud. When one has no design but to speak plain truth, he may say a great deal in'a yevy narrow compass. The very affliction of our earthly pilgrimage are presages of onr future glory, aB shadows indicate the sun* The universe is but one great city, full of beloved ones, divine and hu man, by nature endeared to each other. Youth will never live to age un less they keep them pelves in breath The law, it is said, takes no notice of parts of days, und ns to the 29th of February it takes no notice of the whole day. The 28th and 29ih are computed as one day. For example : Suppose a note is dated on the 28th of February, 1880, payable one day from date. Ordinuriuly it would be payable on the 4th of March, and so it is leap year, and not on the 3d. In Indiana the question has recently come before the Supreme court in rpspict to the service of process in 1870. the last leap year. The law requires ten days’ previous service lor the entry of judgment. In the case before the court the judgment was premature if the 28th uud 29th of Febmary were to he computed as one day. The court said : ’“It must he regarded as settled in this State that the 28tb and 29th days of February in every bisextile year must lie com puted and considered in law as one day.” How Gigantic Fortunes Keep Growing.

The glory of summer has gone by, the beaut Cul greenness has become withered and dead. Were this all— were there no associations, of moral desolation, of faded hopes, of hearts withering in the bosoms of the living connected with the decaying scenery around, we would not indulge in a moment.’s melancholy. The season of floweis wiil come again, the streams flow gracefully as before; the trees will again toss their cumbrous heads of greenness to the suclighty and by mosey stone and winding rivulet the coming blossoms will start up at the bidding of their guardian. But the human heart lias no chance like that of nature. It has no returning spring time Once blighted in its hour ol pleasures, it bears forever the mark of the spoiltt. The dews of affection may fall, and the gently ra:n ol sym yathy he lavished upon* it, but the stone root if blighted feeling will nc-vt-r again waken hid* life, nor the crushed flowers ol hope blossom with ’heir wonted b-uuty.

A Benutliul Thought, When the entnmer of youth is slowly wasting away on the night fall of age, and the shadow of the path becomes deeper und life wears to its close, it is pleasant to look through the vista of time upon the Borrows and felicities of our earlier years. If we have had a home to shelter, and hearts to fejoice with us, and friends have gathered round our fireside, the rough places of wayfaring will have been worn and smoothed away in the twilight of Me, and many dark spots we have passed through will grow bl ighter and more beautiful. Hap py, indeed, are those whose inter course with the world hasn’t changed the (one of their holier feelings, or broken those musical chords of the heart whose vibrations ar* so melo dious, so tender, and so touching in the evening of their lives. » Bancroft, the historian, has re turned to Washington city, and has resumed work on his history of America.
