©Eta. m think of Thee. 11l think of thee, when morning light, In roseate beams burst o’er the sea; And when the stars make evening bright, Still, still, loved one. I’ll think of thee. When flowers hang down their head in sleep. And song is hushed in every tree, The moon doth still her vigils keep, Lo! I will watch and think of thee. And should a tear my eyelids stain With all hard fate hath dealt to me, Mem’ry will breathe thy voice again, And smiles will come with thoughts of thee Tor Art thou not the star whose ray Alone shines forth from shadows free V The rainbow in Life’s weary way, To cheer me on, I find in thee. Farewell, when free from care thou art, And pleasure’s charm forgotten he, Give one kind thought to him whose heart In weal or woe still floats on thee. And should I ne’er behold thee more, Until life weary years are gone, Meet me on Heaven’s hallowed shore, Whtye brighter joys will on us dawn. ■ A Word to Fretful Wives.

A better story than the following, which comes from North Carolina, we have not found in the drawer for many months : About thirty miles above Wilmington, N. C., lived three fellows, named respectively Barham, Stone and Gray, on the banks ol the North East River. They came down to Wilmington in a small row-boat, and made fast to the wharf. They had a time of it in the city, but for fear they would get dry before getting home, they procured a jug of whisky, and after night, a black night too, they embarked in a boat, expecting to reach home in the morning. They rowed away with all the energy that three half tip sy fellows could muster, keeping up their spirits in the darkness by pouring the spirits down. At break of day they thought they must be near home, and seeing through the dim gray of the morning a house on the riv er side, Stone said : •‘Weil, Barham, we’ve got to vour place at ta si.” “If this is my house,” said Barham,“some body has been putting up a lot of outhouses since I went away yesterday; but I*ll go ashore and look about, and see where we are. if you’ll heave to.” Barham disembarks, takes observations, and soon comes stumbling along back, and says— “ Well, i’ll be whipped if we ain’t at Wil mington here yet —and what's more, the boat has been hilched to the wharf all night!’ ft was a fact, and the drunken dogs had been rowing away for dear life, without knowing it.— Harper's Magazine. “Did he not Say Beans?” Two travelers put up for the night at a. tavern. Early in the morning they ab sconded without reckoning with their host, also stealing from him a bag of beans. A few years after, they passed the road in company, again they asked for lodgings at ihe same inn. The identical landlord was yet at ins pos(. In the evening the landlord was in one corner of the bar-room, talking in a suppressed voice to one of his neighbors about a swarm of bees. His two dishonest guests were seated in another part of the room, and indistincHv hearing the talk about bees, one said to the other: “Hid he say beans?” - “I think he did” was the reply and quick ly they were missing. This bean story is worth something.— When I hear a man talking about the per sonalities of editorials, I cannot help think ing about the beans. When the church going mau complains that the minister means him. tbis anecdote about beans will pop into my mind. On ten thousand occa sions 1 notice people whose consciences say to each other by various modes of commu nioatiuio “Hid he say beans?” though per haps the writer or speaker was no nearer to the subject on which their minds were excited, than the sound of the word “bees” resembled that of “henns.” Popular Recreation. Merely taking a walk is a poor substitute | for the more active and manly exercises that | are necessary so develops the frame and j keep the body iu a healthy condition. No ’ doubt public walks, parks and gardens are ; places wo!! calculated to withdraw ftson : sands from low haunts and intemperate hwb j its. and. to lead them.hi company with their i la nr, lies. p> purer, move healthful and endu j riii.ir pleasure*. Bat. after all-, something I more engaging; more exciting, and with more immediate and tangible attractions, is required, if we would compete successfully with the excitement of the drinking shop, j short-bred Though it be, and render num ber- ot (lie population superior to the degra- I lug pleasures too frequent in crowded towns. I For such a purpose nothing is more desira- I hie, nothing would be more effective, than | the apread ol active out-door exercises j among ail ranks of the. people. At present the upper ciasse - in England are ds?in gutsbed by their excellent physique , due in mo; t cases to the sports of conn try fife, with their violent and fatiguing exercises, which are the chief agents in preventing the bad consequences of the late hours, and often of the dissipation. <>f London hie. But. among the middle and lower classes there is a sad want of such restorative influences. Crick- J et. foot-ball, rifle practice, and boating, ] Vihei’t thel’cis sufficient water at hand, are ; no’ thoroughly national sports, as they eer i bandy ought to be. Exercises of this kind ; might easily be made at tractive; they might ! soon become popular English amusements; (every parish’ and district might have its ! cricket and foot-hall clubs, its rifle corps, | and, in many cases.'its floats: and we should , then no longer have occasion to look back j with regret, on tin* physical training and gymnastic exercises oi the great nations of i the Miwieut world. Getting tip iu the Morning. j Fire hour wc get up in the morning very j much depends on the hour we went to bed I the night Hefbrfr. It is pretty evident that j nature made a mistake when she calculated | the sou’s going down, or else some of the • present generation are sadly in fault about 1 retiring to re i. and no less so in regard to ! getting up. What a waste of beauty, what ■ ? waste of music, happiness, and health to I sleep out the morning hours ! Reader, did I von ever live in the country, and in the j month of June get up about half-past three ! o’clock in the morning 1 There is no other hour like that in the whole twenty-four; ’tis full of incense, full of music, full of heaven, lull ot inspiration. Wc should think, if an gels ever came to earth, tliev would come then; and we fancy they do, for the air is i lull of fragrance, every grove has its orobes- i ! tra, and such pieces as they play, too ? Not j i an instrument out of not a note out of ■time, fciich pieces! N u Mozart, no Bee ! thoven could play them ! Every leaf and twig and dower sparkles j 1 with dew ! We fancy there has been a hail- j storm of diamonds ! Talk of the splendors | ;oi royalty ! • The pomp of wealth and the ] ! glitter of gold ! Did you evei see and rent- j | ize a June morning? Then you will know! [ belter what estimate to put upon a jewel- j | er’s shop ! Did yon ever get one breath of j lair into your lungs from such an “incense i | breathing morn?” If you did, you felt an i i inspiration more of heaven than earth.— j Awake, 0 sleeper ! such scenes occur near ly every day, and you lose the sight. You ! burn your life out with gas arid sleep it out j | by sunlight, thus shortening it at both ends ; j i wake up with a dull, heavy headache, bit- j | ter, dried up,mouth, and trembling limbs.— ; I The late hours, late suppers, late going to ! | bed, and late getting up, are enough to make j i a man late all his lifetime, and he may think ; himself well off if lie is not late at heaven’, i door. Mothers should not try to make their i children sleep in the morning. Give them ; very light suppers and put them to hod ear- i ly. They will be enough better nut ured i through the day to pay for it, so that in the i end you will do just “as much work a. f thsry had slept in the morning. Toleration. There is no virtue more talked about and less practised than the virtue of Toleration, It requires wisdom to be tolerant, and wis dom being a scarce commodity, toleration does not flSlmsh extensively, it is difficult to understand why theological and political opponents should in general have so littie charity for each other. Why cannot men allow to other men the same sincerity <o conviction and honesty of purpose they claim for themselves? Every dispassionate observer of human affairs must be convinc ed that whilst the believers in all religious and all political creeds cannot be equally right, they are all equally sincere, and sin cerity is vvorthv ot respectful and charita ble consideration, however much disfigured by error. Men never look with aversion or distrust upon their neighbors because they differ with them on questions of agriculture, me chanics. philosophy, internal improvements or any other of the thousand subjects upon which the world has been disputing for ages. In politics, however, prejudice blinds our minds to the virtues and motives of our op ponents, and in religion, .instead of loving our neighbor as ourselves, we consider him as little less than an enemy aud in some dan ger of losing his soul, un!ess*he takes shelter under our. own ecclesiastical vine and fig tree. — Ri dim. >n <1 Despatch. A Persian Princess, I went to see the Shah's half-sister, u beautiful girlol .15, who lived with her mo ther in an obscure part of the anteroom, ne glected bv the Shah-, and consequently by every body else. She was really lovely ; fair, with indescribable eves, and a figure only equalled by some of the chefs de leucre of Italian art. This is so rare annang Per sian women, that she was one of the few persons I saw in the country with an ap proach to a good figure. She was dressed in the usual fashion of trousers on trousers, the last pair being of such stiff brocade that if put standing upright in the middle of the room, there they would remain. Her hair was curled, not plaited, and she was literal ly covered with diamonds. She was quiet in her manners, and seemed dejected. She was most anxious to bear about European customs. What seemed to surprise her most was that w.e took the trouble to un dress every night going to. bed; and she ask ed me was it true we put on a long white dress to pass the night in? Ail Persian wo men are astonished at-this custom, and are quite unable to account for it. They never undress at. night—they untie their thin mat tress from their silken cover, dtaw it. out from its place against the walk and roll themselves up in the.wadded quilt which forms their blanket. The only time they change their clothes is when they go to bath. If they go out to visit, they, of course, put. on their best garments, s and take them off at night; but generally they lie clown just as they are. and even in cold weather they wear their chadoor, or out-of-door veil, at night.— Lady ShieFs Glimpses ai Life and manners in Persia. flEr’An apology made by an English clergyman to his congregation, who had pe titioned him to use a simpler style of ex pression in the pulpit.

A London letter, dated August Oth, says ; To tie count for the sustained heat, the existence of some abnormal influence i r suggested, and the public have consequently been reminded that the ieturn of the great come of 155d was predicted in three hundred years.
