THIS LIFE IS WHAT WE MAKB
IT,
Let’a oflen talk of noble deeds,
And rarer of the bad ones.
And sing about our Imppy days,
Ami none about the mid ouos.
We were not made to fret and sigh,
And a lien grief bleeps to wake it,
Bright happiness is staudiug by—-
This life is what we make it.
Let’s find the sunny side of men,
Or bo believers in it;
A light there is in every soul
That takes the pains to win it,
Oh! there’s a slumbering good in all,
And we perchance may wake it;
Our hands contain the magic viand—
This life is what we make it.
Then lipre’s to those loving whose heart
Shed light and joy ubout them!
Thanks be to them for countless gems
be ne’er had known without them.
Oh/ this should be a lmppv world
To all w ho may partake it;
The fault's our own if it is not—
This life is what we make it.

What Killed Hmry Clay.
“Do .you know what killed Henry
Clay?” my genial Kentucky story-tel¬
ler asked me the other day. ‘‘If not
I will tell you. Ho died of a brok¬
en heart, not because lie lost the
presidency, but his son. Henry Cl ay,
jr., was his father's idol. He was sent
to West Point, where he graduated
second in his class. After four raon ths
in the army he resigned, and began
practising law iu Lexiu- ton, living
With his father at Ashland. Not a
young man in Kentucky promised
better things than he did. When the
Mexicau war broke out he was deter¬
mined to go. His father made uo ob¬
jection, and he went out as l euienant
colonel of the First Kentucky regi-
ment. At the battle of Beuua Vista,
Santa, Anna with 32,003 troops nearly
with
fought hard, but as his reginiuit was
falling back a shot -vent through both
legs. He was not mortally wounded,
and three men picked him up to carry
him off the field. It soon became evi¬
dent that the Mexicans would over¬
take them. “Save yourselves boys,”
he said, and taking tile H»to! which
his father had given him, he handed
it to one of the mou with the words;
‘Take this and return it to my father.
Tell him I have no furtln r uae far it.’
With that they dropped him and ruu
after the retrpatjng Inaps. The last
they aawof Clay ha was lying on his
back, fighting a squad of Mexicans
with his sword. Next morning his
bodv ugs found hacked to pieces And
mutilated by the cowards who had
killed him- The pistol came to hi#
father, then a aeuator, and, though he
lived several years after, 1 am con¬
vinced tfeat"he died f;om the blow.”—

Anecdotes of the Lif» of Judah
Benjamin-Early In-luitry and
Matrimonial Infelicity.
A lawyer of tilt* city, whose

lations with a companion of the late
Judah i\ Benjamin, iu his early
gles at the bur of New Oilcans,
that he studied persistently fill lrtte
night, an l at that lituo denied
self persistently those luxiries of lif
which afterwards he delighted to iu
dulgeiu. During the war Mr.
jamin, is Slid to have spared no ex¬
pense to load his table with imported
article^, which could only be obtain¬
ed faotu blockade runuers.
As to bis marriage, a bd"f period
happiness wasjsucceeded by a mutual
enlightenment, which convinced Mr.
Benjamin and his wife, that they wore
uosuited to live in the relation of man
and wife. They proceeded in a cool
business like way, devoid of passion
upon both sides, to treat for terms of
separation. The concessions of
husband were most generous, ami to
the wife perfectly satisfactory. She
established herself in Paris, and when
Mr. Benjamiu found biu»elf in that
city Ii4 never fulled to honor Mrs.
Benjamin with a call, as he would any
other ludy for whom he entertained a
“incere admiration and regard.
Mrs. Benjamin, upon hey part, was
wont to receive her linsbmd with all
the courtesy and respect that it would
have been possiblo for her to extend
to any other gentleman. They agreed
that they were charmed with each
otbor’s society, and had made hut the
single mistake of marrying each other
There is a fact or two about Judah
P. Benjamin’s early life that is worth

shop on Market street, in Charleston.

The Great Religions Awakening
Turing a Former Financial
Panto-
The year 1857, the year of financial
panic, was marked alsy by a religious
revival of extra ordinary proportions.
Daily prayer meetings were held in
Fulton and John streets, and were
crowded with business men. The
churches could not, hold all who jnm
gv-red for spiritual food; and theatres
were turned into temples of worship,
whereiu both clergymen and layrenm
exhorted sinners to repent of their
Sins and flee from the wrath to coma.
Great nnmbersof converts were made
while the religion* excitement lasted,
and the attention of the people of New
York was largely concentrated on the
of the salvation of their souls.
Even in counting-rooms and ware-
lions s the frequent theme of conver¬
sation was experiment,**! religion,
hunts inquired of tbeii clerks ».
Av- i/lgw.i
them to be punctual at prwyer-meefc-
ing*.
Men had found by sad
ihat euDlily treasure# meltt-d away,
and were impelled t>> seek the endur¬
ing heavenly rioli>*». Trade was so
dull that they could easily spare time
for prayer, and they improved the op¬
portunity. Well-known merchants
led the prayer-meetings, and the sup¬
plications were in to rape reed with ex¬
hortations to sinner*, uttered by men
fresh from the counting-hous-s.
These 15 nan fin) tabulations have
come upon u», they said, to teach hh
how vain are the linage of this world,
and now impe.auvo is our need of
hoavouly support and lmavenly tre.is
urn,
That extraordinary religious excite¬
ment was known as the great awaken¬
ing, and during its cou'inuamm it IV U>
the absorbing sensation of the day
Tho newspapers were full of it, and it
extended throughout the Union.
Only a little over a quarter of h oci.
fciiry has passed since then, but is there
any possibility cf n repetition of that
gieat religions revival in New York.
The present is uncpiestionably a very
fit time for such a revival. During
the list three years, assuredly, men
Ought to have been taught the insta¬
bility of earthly wealth. The finan¬
cial market, instead of iuprnviug, has
been steadily growing worse, and no¬
body (lares to predict when the hot-
tom will be reached. Even Jay Gould
and Mr. Vanderbilt uro powerless to
hold up prices; and the Hon. Russell
Sage, L’imseJf a pious naan, uo longer
ventures to sell puts and calls.—New
York San.
He was s yonng lawyer and w&* de¬
livering hi# maiden opeoeb. Like m'>st
young lawyers lie wasQbrid, rhetorical
‘scattering and windy. Fur four weary
houss he talked nfc the cou.pt and ths
jury, until everybody felt like lynch-
ing him. When lie got through Ids
opponent, a griazled old professional,
arose, lookg! sweetly at the judgo and
said:
“Your Honor, I will follow tbs ex-
ample of my young friend who has
just finished, and submit tbe Case
