And hid me onward u< the goal! Ah! changeful life, thou hast no go-\ This side the cold, unlovely grave! For onward all thy waters roll, Tiiott hast no stationary wave! To pleasures which wc now pursue, To-morrow wo must bid adieu! Full well 1 know that- earth can give, N<> joys that will not fide away; Its brightest treasures only live, To he the food of dull decay! Yet in the heart sweet flowers bloom, Which shall survive thfc lonely tom >! These are the joys of heavenly birth, Which flotiri'li in the soil of love; A . dews do watei flowers of earth, They’re watered from the streams above; To seek the joys of earth is vain, For soon the soul will thirst again. Hut lie who seeks the joys which tl >w, In living streams lrotn heaven’s blight shore; Atone can have the joy to know, What ’tis to drink and thirst no more; Yet eagerly and void of rest. We grasp earth’s toys which cannot bless! Behold, behold, the moving throng, Os toiling men who sigh for bliss; They seek it eagerly and long. But dvittg, know not what it i-! Because they have refused to go, Where joys unfading only grow! And yet the heav. nly way i- plain, And pleasant nre the “paths of peace; All other paths are paths <>‘ pain, And lead to woes that never cease; Oh! let us all pursue the, road, That leads to happiness and God!

Afraid oi Opposition to Lav/. At a religious conference meeting • lately, vve saw a large good nutured looking man arise and quit* eloquent, laud the immense and heavenly power’ ui moral suasion, occasionally however, j obliquely condemning the Maine Li :q-1 or Law. Evidently, lie was a very mild, milk and water man, except in hi.-, antagonism to that statute; but thete, j ready and willing to fight. j When he sat down, a lady, a strati get, remarked to us in a whisper, “that she was afraid of that man.” This seemed lather strange. She must be rather timid thought vve, to ho afraid of such a dear, loving, rose-water moral suusionist. A lew days afier, we met the lady in the cars, and obtained an explanation “My husband,” said she, “is apt to drink too much when he is tempted by the sight and sale of rum. lum the mother of suveiul children, and we have suffered almost every thing bv his intemperace. since the anti-liquor law lias been enforced, he has been n sober man, and a kind husband and father: and 1 uin afraid of any man oi unv tiling that tries or tends to repeal or make unpopular that excellent law.” We think this is one of the boat argu limits in lavour of tho law we ever hetud or saw, and there is not a drunk ard’s wife or children in the State who do not daily have the fears of that poor woman, and repeat Iter argument.

Th chief result of travelling is lo have paid con sidcrable sums of money, lo have seen unimportant curiosities with the privd ego of giving exaggerated accounts nf tiierri. M-jst people who go abroad bring back nothing more valuable than a few chips from deserted monuments, and a large stock of affectation. An intense egotist can never he n good ; traveller. Socrates being told that a cert air. person hud travelled unprofu iibly, replied: “No wonder—fbr lie travelled ulone with himself,” One who makes a looking glass of every ob j“Ct fie sees, will never make any His. cov'iies worth relating. Such travel f t- arc like Wordsworths P it-r Bell “They travel here, they, travel tlu-re. But not the value of a Imir Are head or heart the b.-tter.’’ About tiie year 1634, the I >ee jsla tore ofPermsylvcnia pas-sod a re-elu tion that “no member thereof slimil i come to the house barefoot, or cat his bread and cheese ori the -lops.” Different sounds will travel with riif | furent velocities—a call to dinner will J , run over a ten acre lot in a moment j -and a half, while a summons to return j | to iv-trk takes from rive to eight min ! tlfes. I Ouriou!} Experiments. The Christian Inquirer, of this city, lias b ii making some experiments which ure ut least quite novel and cu rious, and so simple, withal, that any body can repeat and verify them. \Ve copy us follows: “A Irienfi told us, tho other day,of a very curious experiment, which led us toiryolhcis equally curious, with tho same success. 11 is experiment was this: Take a gold ring, and suspend it by a thread about half a yard long; then hold it by the thumb and finger of the gMkte|||jul yU i r the paj.tn.fll,the loft at’lTlc ring may swing freely an a pendulum; it will oscillute to and Iro iu the direction of the arm,, with tu crcusing force. Then let another per son form a connection between the thumb and forefinger of the operator s left hand by his own thumb and finger; the motion of tho l ing will change from as’raiglu line to a circle at once, and on tho withdrawal of tho connection it will return to a straight line;- and on touching tlic operator’s left shoulder with tlic hand, the motion will cease and tlie ring ho at rest. “We tried the experiment successful ly, and found that it would succeed equally with a key instead of a ring, or with any body of proper size, aimilaijy suspended, whether of metal, or wood, or glass. Wo found, also, that if sus pended over the knees, the penduiutn would swing from knee to knee, und im mediately begin to revolro as aeon as the feet were brought together. Sus pended over the heart, the pendulum revolved of itself in a circle of consid erable diameter; uml over the forehead it revolved in un opposite direction from its course when held on the back of the head. These experimi nts vary some what with different persons; yet, with grimier or less force, they seem to follow the same law in nearly ulI cases.-- What does it mean? Tiie force is not electrical, for it acts as well through non-conducting a, through conducting bodies, and a silk instead of u cotton thread makes no difference in the re sult. It is not mere imagination, for titer is mo much uniformity in result to favor that supposition. In somo cases tfto revolution is in an orbit, a foot in diameter, if not mote.” Din anybody explain the why and when so of these phenomena?— TV. Y. Organ.
