■•The Fool hath ai<l in hi* heart there
ia no Cod.”- Vroverbtt
‘BT “ OLD TYPE.”
When Nature folds her veil around
The scenes of noon-day joy—
When all is still, and not a sound
Is heard to breathe annoy
The mind may rest from labor free,
On Father, Son, and Spirit, three.
When night wraps Earth in sable gloom,
And twilight fades away—
When Life is silent as the lomb
Clad in its dark array—
'Tis then tho Christian soul may rest
In safety on Jehovah’s breast.
When Luna's beams dance o’er the lawn
When gentle zephyrs blow—
When rippling rills glide smoothly on
And in sweet union flow
’Tis then and there the soul rtVay fly,
And read now lessons from On High.
God’s presence dwells in ev’ry place,
About, behind, before—
He moves in endless, boundless space
And fills Creation o’er.
Not mov’d like man by storm or blast.
He’s beie and elsewhere, first and last.
Go look hnnwath the Ocean wave,
And gaze on ev’ry star—
Go wake the cold and silent grave,
And God will meet you there.
He’s here. lie’s there. He's everywhere,
Iu Heaven, in Hell, in Earth, iu Air.
v
Above, within,
And past the pale of being.
The burning eye of God is seen
Ail awful eye all seeiug.
For all of life and light is His
Where all things are—where nothing is.
i l nigh, the low, the great, the small,
.'he nations bond and free,
m Before the great tfehovah fall
And own His power to be.
■ Aud Heathens, too, with bless’d accord,
* Praise one Jehovah, Jove or Lord.
Oh ! Fool, lift thou thine erring eyes
Where Angels’ songs resound,
And seek for Life beyond the skies
Where God’s elect are found.
For 9oon. alas ! thy soul must dwell
High up in Heaven or deep in Hell.
jfcnE WRONGS OF MAN,
—Mr. Gilliflower,
Pf'cannot have tho shawl;”
Blwsay “it is not in your power,”
course, sir, not at all !
cau buy those vile cigars,
‘ And pay your clubs as well—
Now don't come near me ! Oh my stars,
How strong your breath does smell!
Don’t tell me, Mr. Gilliflower,
’Twas business made you stay
Last night to such a reckless hour—
I know, sir. ’twas the plav t
And after that you supped and quaffed—
“ ’Tis false”—oh bravely said !
Then why require that Seidlitz draught
Before you left your bed !
I tell you Mr. Gilliflower,
t 1 cannot boar this long ;
B am a lily in the shower
I Os your earth-heating wrong.
■on hato me—nay. I know you do ;
that I were dead ;
minx in royal blue
ypur head.
‘•l’m raving !” ]Mr. Gm^Bwer,
1 do not rave] with wiw s ;
Long cruelties overpower
A firmer than mine.
Ah. whistle, jeer me, m ike a din !
You “do no* wish to jeer’—
Then what portends that ghastly griu
That spreads from ear to eaf.
1 cannot buy a mautle now,
A ribbon or a bonnet,
But when tho hills come home, you vow
I’ve “spent a fortune on it.”
This cannot last,-—and, as you wish,
On due consideration,
I do not care k ow fast you push
The bill for separation.
What! ”1 may have the shawl,” you say;
Now, really, truly, may I ?
A thousand wicked things each day
Wiieti hot with anger say I ;
Forgiva me. dear, each foolish word,
’ Nay, kiss me. love —l will—
You are (he gentlest, kindest lord
That ever paid a bill !
Sr bum i iy.—The following spec
imen of the sublime is from the lips of

w asdelivered at a fair held a few days
since at Keene, N H. ; —‘O that I

I reached the upper air. 1 would have
it o’er the thrones of tyrants, an em
blem of hope and promise to the down
trodden, and hang it from the celling
of the skies. I would steal the nectar
from the gods, and *uck from every

Goon Grit. —lt is an old saying that
as good fish remain in the sea as ever
were taken from it; and this principle
will apply as well to things terrestria
as to tilings aquatic, for instance:—Du
ring the present session of our court a
laughable scene occurred between the
grand jury and one of our citizens who
was required to give general informa
tion of things in general:
‘Please sta'e.’said the jury,’every
thing you know,’
•In relation to what?’ asked the inter
rogated party.
‘Why, sir, in reference to genera
misdeme moig.’
* A#k me some direct question,’ said
the citizen, ‘and I will endeavor to give
you a direct answer.’
‘Sir, you are brought heie to answer
questions —not to suggest rules of pro
priety. Go on, and state what you
know.’
* 1 rnn't do that.*
‘Why V
‘Because.’
•Because what?’
‘Well, gentlemen, if you must know,
it is because there would n r) t be a. quo*
rum left to find a bill.' —Home Cour.

For Sale —A good husband, war
ranted sound and kind in harness, espe
cially in the matrimonial.
He is of handsome figure and action,
and can trot two babies in an hour eas
ily ; stands to the cradle without tilting
never snuffs at the dishcloth, is not
afraid of the crazy old colony road.
He is a smart traveler, and is in ev
ery respect a good family beast.

‘You have stolen my soul di
vine one !’ exclaimed Mr. Sickley to
his adored.
* Pardon me.’ responded the lady.
I am not in the habit of picking up
little things !’
‘Only One.’—One hour lost'in the
morning by lying in bed will put back,
and may fustrate all the business of the
day.
One hole in the fence will cost ten
times as much as it will to fix it at once.
One drinker will keep a family poor

One sumner destroyeth much good.
