THE RIVER OF LIFE.
'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

there is nothing (hut muketh,a lie.

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.”

A Pretty Sentiment.
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.

The beloved of the Almighty are
the rich who have the humility of
the poor, and the poor who have the
magnanimity of the rich.
Life is made up of little things,
in which smiles and kindness giveu
habitually are what win and preserve
the heart and secure comfort.
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.
