TWILIGHT PICTURE.
Now the evening shadows gather,
And the surtainks in the west;
O'er the mountains, woods and meadows,
Creep the fleecy clouds of mist.
Twinkling in the dark'ning heavens,—
Richest gems in Nature's crown,
Brighter far tlnutTndia's diamonds,
See the quiet stars look down.
Snugly nestled in the valley, •
Is a cottage small and neat ;
O'er the walls the woodbine trailetb,
And the honeysuckle sweet.
And the green lawn gently slopeth,
To the brook which floweth near ;
And the rippling of the waters,
Like a dear old song, we hear.
From the latticed window streaming,
Shines the lamFinto the night:
Breaking with a soft effulgence,
On the fond observer's sight.
And within a picture greets us,
Such as angels, passing there,
Pause to gaze upon with gladness,
'Tie so peaceful and so fair.
Fire-light playing on the wiling,
Lighteth up with joyous ahem
All the picture, and contentment,
Smiling on each face, is seen.
To the Saviour, who bath promised
Watch and ward o'er us to keep,
Infant voices sweet are lisping,
"Now I lay me down to sleep."
By them stands the queen, their mother ;
Near them alts the king, their sire; -
On a mar celestial picture,
Never shone an evening firis.

Here a rosy dream of youth-time—
Here a love, and here a joy,
Here a thoeght of brightest future.
Broken ass childish toy.
ileire are feelings pure and stainless,
As the crystals on the snow,
Here are longing for some fair one,
Whose bright eyes like diamonds glow
Here are buried childhood 'fancies,
And beside them hopes mature,
Bright desires, loves, and passions,
AU are buried —base and pure.
'Tie the grave-yard of affection;
In the valley of the heart,
Where remembrance fondly lingers,
Till the burning tear-drops start:
And when life is all a ruin,
And the heart is in decay,
And the trailing ivy twining,
Q'er each column finds its way.
Then reflection loves to wander,
in this grave-yard of the wait,
And there rest among the shadows,
From the marble columns cast.
DoxmaxT.—Of all the long list of causes
which combine to make up the sum total of
human misery, discontent is the most perni
cious in its influence. All the other passions
may be curbed, and held in check, by the
better influence of the moral principle. Dis
coitent, never. It is the rich man's bane ;
and the beggar's evil genius.
I would experiment with human nature.
Fulst,-1 would select one who for a long
course of years has struggled on against pov
erty and battled with misfortune ; even repi
ning and constantly complaining that unkind
fortune has treated him with more severity
than any other mortal man. Upon that indi
vidual I would bestow riches, honor, fame,
and place him in a position among his fellow
men, that the proudest, the mightiest. might
envy; heap uppn him every blessing that
wealth could confer, more than he had ever
dreamed of in his brightest hopes of ideal hap
piness. I would make his home in some fairy
spot, possessing all the qualities of soil and
beauty of climate, calculated to render it a
second Eden, and watch the result.

A. Toummo PA MAGIC. —How eloquently
does Chantsubriand reply to the inquiry "Is
there a God?' Our French brethren in Mason
ic error should receive this lesson from their
countrymen :
There is a God The herbs of the valley,
the cedars of the mountain, bless Him ; the
insect sports In His beam; the elephant sa
lutes Hint with the rising orb of day ; the
104 sing to Him in the foliage ; the thunder
proclaims Him in the Heavens; the ocean
declares His immensity. Man alone has said
there is no God. Unite in thought at the
same instant, the most beautiful objects in
nature. Suppose you see at once all the hours
of the day and all the seasons of the year ; a
morning of spring and a morning of autumn ;
a night bespangled with stars, and a . night
covered with clouds ; meadows enameled
with flowers and forests hoary with snow ;
fields gilded by tints of autumn ; then alone
yoit will have a just conception of the uni
verse.
While you are gazing upon that sun which
is plunging under the vault of the West, anoth
er Qbserrer admires him emerging from the
gilded gates of the East. By what inconceiv
able magic does that aged star which is sink
ing fatigued and burning in the shades for the
evening, re-appear the same instant fresh and
humid with the rosy dews of morning ? At ev
ery instant of the day the glorious orb is at
once rising, resplendent at noon-day, and set
ting in the West; or rather our senses deceive
us, and there is properly speaking no East,
Wait, or South in the world. Everything re
&Hies itself to,a tingle point, from whence the
Bldg of Day sends forth at' nce a triple light
In one substance. The brightest splendor is
that perhaps which nature can present. that
is most beautiful, for while it gives us an idea
of the perpetual magnificence and resistless
pouter of dod, it exhibits at the same time a
shining image of the glorious Trinity."

THE NOBLE NEGRO BOY
The following incident in The fatal collision
of the Niagara with the Postboy, on the Mis
sippi, was related to me by an eye witness :
The two atestmers struck, atid the Niagara
immediately careened and began to sink- The
wildest consternation was at once 'universal.
Ladies rushed to and fro with piercing screams
imploring the men to help them. But no
means seemed at band, and each sought his
individual rescue.
At this fearful moment, a negro boy, one
of the crew, was seen quietly lashing a long
and stout rope round his body, at the other
end tying a stick of wood in its centre.
Instantly, with this apparatus, he threw
himself into the river. Turning upon his
back, the stick drifted to the rope's end, and
call frig upon two ladies who stood on the
edge of the boat—one with a child in her arms
- 1 -he urged them to spring, and catch either
end of the , stick. The negro lay calmly on
the waves, and, in tones of confidence, told
them it was their only hope, insisting that he
would carry them safely to the shore. For
another instant they hesitated ; but gathering
courage from his self possession, and realizing
that it was their o last moment, they took the
leap, and both succeeding in grOsping the
stick. Turning quickly to prevent their seiz
ing him, the heroic fellow struck out with!
strong muscles for the land. The rapid cur- .
rent was well-nigh resistless, but he wrestled
manfully with his burden. The energy of
despair kept them to their bald ; a tien gth
their feet touched bottom. Both ladies, with
the clinging little one, were saved. Many
witnessed this feat. It exhibited not only a
cool, unparalleled bravery, but was wholly
disinterested, as both ladies were strangers.
It should be added that the boy left his own
trunk, with. his best clothing and three hun
dred dollars in money, to sink with the wreck.

about him, said of the lilies of the field, "Sol
omon in all his glory was not arrayed like
one of these ;" nd yearly, through all that
time has this marvel of summer beauty glori
fied the earth. It is Indeed true that "man
liveth not by bread alone," but needs where

Corn, and wheat, and grass, and trees, could
grow in plainer style, and flowers need not
bloom to support bodily life ; but here are
the stately beauty of the queen of cereals, the
waving bannersatt the wheat-field, the green
carpet whereof the warp and woof of delicate
gran is graceful; in its every thread, the lilies
rich in their shining raiments as when Christ
made the monarch's robe seem poor beside
them, and the noble grandeur of great trees.—
This all tells of spiritual harmony, grid fitness,

TIIE BEST OF Au. Scnoot.s. —The fireside
is a seminary of infinite impertance. It is im
portant because it is universal, and because the
education it bestows, being woven in with the
woof of childhood, gives form and color to the
whole texture of he. There are few who can
receive the the honors of tfte college, but all
are the graduates of the hearth. The learning
of the university may fade from the recollec
Lion, its classic lore may moulder in the halls
of amory, but the simple lessons of home,
enameled Won the heart of childhood, defy
the rust of years, and outlive the mature but
less vivid picture of after years.
So deep. so lasting, indeed, are the impres
sions of early life, that you often see a man in
the imbecility of age, holding fresh in his re
collection the events of childhood, while all
the wide space between that and the present
hour is blasted and forgotten - waste, You
have, perchance, seen an old obliterated por
trait, and in the attempt to have seen it fade
away, while a brighter and more perfect pic
ture, painted beneath is revealed to view.—
This portrait, first drawn upon canvass, is no
faint illustration of youth: and though it
may be concealed by some after design,
still the original traits will shine through the
outward picture, giving it tone while fresh,
and surviving it in decay. Such is is the fire
side—the great institution of Providence for
the education of man.
A BeNevoLearr liketerze.—Not long since
a small boy in very dilapidated clothing called
at the residence of Rev. Mr. R., arid asked for
something to eat. The servant who came to
the door asked the minister wh4t she should
give him, when he pointed to a pile of bread
that was very hard and stale. "Give him
some of that." The servant did so, and as the
134 was going away chewing on the crust of
bread the minister called out, "Rridget, send
that little boy here." The little fellow went
into the dining-room, where the minister and
his family were about sitting down to dinner,
m id&
ani was 'g at the eatables on the table,
when the domin said, "My little man, did
you ever go to 13 . ' y-school ?"
"No, sir."
"Did you ever learn to pray ?" again asked
the minister.
No, air," replied the boy.
Tome here and I will teach you."
The boy Went up to the minister, when he
commenced—
"Yon must say just as I do, 04 Father"—
"Your Father," said the boy.
"No, no ; you must say 'Our Father.' "
"Is it our Father—your Father,my Fath
er 2"
"Why, certainly."
The boy looked at him awhile, and then
commenced crying, at the same time holding
up his crust of bread, and exclaiming between
his sobs— •
"You say that your Father is my Father,
yet you aren't ashamed to give your little
brother Arch stuff as this to eat, when you
have got so many good things for yourself."
The minister looked astoniahed, and al
though it hurt his feelings, asked the little
fellow to sit down and take dinner with him.

Tax SHIPRZED OF &UMBILICI' Puns
David Saunders, who is welt known as the
original of Mrs. Hannah More's interesting
tract, "The Shepherd of Salisburi Plain,"
once gave to good Dr_ Stonehouse the follow
ing narrative of facts concerning himself:
"Blessed be God: through his mercy I
learned to read when I was a boy. I believe
therciii no day, for the last thirty years, that
I have not peeped a; my Bible. If we can't
find time to read a, chapter, we ean , find time
to read a verse eand a single text well follow
&I and put in practice every day, would make
no bad figure at the year's end. Three hun
dred and sixty-tve texts, without the loss of a.
moment's time, would make a pretty stock, a
little golden treasury, from . New Year's day
to New Year's day; and if ehiiiren were
brought up to it, they would came to look for
their text as naturally as they do for their
breakfast. I can say the greatest part of the
Bible by heart"
My dear young friends, learn a lesson from
the example of David Saunders, the shepherd
boy. Whilst tending the sheep he studied his
Bible. He stored his youthful mind with
Bible truth, and, by God's blessing, he grew
up to be a very happy and blessed man.—
Perhaps as long as the world stands his name
will be Tmembered. Many persons have
had to thank God that ever they read the
tract about "The Shepherd of Salisbury
Plain." Especially remember what he said
about "a text a day." If each of our young
friends would commence and continue the
good habit of committing a verse of scripture,
to memory daily, they would find it indeed to
be "a golden treasury from New Year's day
to New Year's day."

that this could not be out done, when.
A second proved that he had just arrested his
tailor for money that was lent him.
"The palm is his," was the generous cry
when a third put in his claim :
"Gentlemen," said he, "I cannot boast of
the feats or my predecessors, but I have re

to the most ingenous methods to conceal the

In this they were successful until one morn

lad, "how dam you be smoking tobacco ?"

"And you? and you ?" inquired the peda

the third a "cough ;" in brief, they all had
something.

and had great difficulty in managing the horse
which at last became ungovernable, and,
he great horror of Mrs. Jones, bolted with

the neighborhood, the horse would not stir
an inch, until Mr, Jones got down and worked
the pump handle a dozen times ; after which
operation it moved on directly ; and to finish
off the day's pleasure, it stopped at all the cus

SINGULAR Ilirrrn.—The most exciting Inci
dent that has occurred recently hi CaWheals
is the birth ofan extraordinary filar of twins I,
in the city of Sacramento, which, had they
lived, would have totally eclipsed' the Woe ot'
the celebrated Siamese, and made the ketone
of their happy parents. The two &Mite'
were united from their umbilicus to the hips,
the aces looking toward each other, and - the
bodies so completely milted as to appear Int'
one. The legs and arms were perfect and of
medium size, and Indeed, above the nereinnd
below the hips, the bodies were pod:et and
well-formed. I am told by a medical gentle
man who saw them that they prole:lW a pir
eonsly curious appearance, and reminded *n
ot the quaint devices we sometimes see in
Hindoo idols. Fortunately for thameellea,
they were born dead, and their parents Were
Christians enough to have them deceitly bu
ried, instead of giving them np to be preserved
in pickle in some medical curiosity shop,
they were pressed to do byn deputation of
scientific men, who rushed to Sacramento on ,
the announcement of the birth.

- the night there is considerable
exhalation from our bodies, and at the nuns
time we absorb a large quantity of the ear
rounding air. , Two healthy young children

health, only return weakness. A sick usother
