W hen the day of life is d'rearv, And when gloom thy course enshrouds— ' \v.ien thy steps are faint and weary, And thy spirit dark with clouds, Steadfast still in thy well doiug, Let thy soul forget the past—l St- adfast still, the right pursuing. Doubt not! joy shall come at last ! Striving still, and onward pressing, Seek not future years to know, But deserve the wished for blessing, It shall come, though it be slow. Never tiring—upward gazing— Let thy fear* aside be cast, And thy trials tempting, braving— Doubt notJ joy shall come at iast' Keep not thou thy soul regretting, Seek the good—spurn evil's thrall— Though thy foes thy path besetting, Thou shalt triumph o'er them all. Though each year but bring thee sadness, And thy youth be tiecting fast, There'll be time enough for gladness— Doubt not 1 joy shall come at last! Hi* fond eve is watching o'er thee— Ilis strong arm shall be thy guard— Duty's path is straight before thee, It shall lead to thy reward. By thy ills thy faith made stronger, Mould the future by the past— Hope thou on a little longer ! Duubt not! joy shall come at last! 3 Select Ealr. i From Sartain's Union Magazine. A BAD HABIT CURED. BY T. 9. ARTHUR. One of the virtues peculiar to society in this country — arid, it may be to other countries, for aught we know—is a tender regard for the consciences of others. Peo ple are d:spo*ed to interpret St. Paul's in junction to the Phillippians, 4 Look not i every man on his own things, but every man, also, on the things of his neighbor,' after the most literal fashion. We see this manifested in a great variety of ways, but in none more prominently than in the ell it to make people pay due regard to ! !',* pr- c pt, 4 Of hirn that would borrow of thee, turn not thou away.' vlrs. Armand was the very personifica . m of this virtue ; and she took good care i at none iri her neighborhood suffered con 'jfcmnaiiori for lack of a living faith in the precept hist quoted, as sundry careful house j wives could testify. I Mr. Armand differed with bis wife in some matters, and particularly in regard to the morality of borrowing practices, and often rec ,rded his protest against their ' continuance, the doing of which satisfied 1 lum more and more, each lime it was re p' ated, that 4 when a woman will, she will ' , you may depend on it.'

'Kitty melted the bottom off' my coffee i 't yesterday, the careless thing !' replied Mrt. \rmand, 'and it is not mended yet; and 'a I borrowed Mrs. Lovell a for this mom* lag.' 1 i wouldn't have done that, said the hus band. 4 Why, wouldn't ycu V very pertinently .quired Mrs. Artnand.

' 1 wouldu t like to live in tlie world as selll-h as it would be if made alter your model,'said Mrs. Armand. ' No doubt it would be bad enough,' re plied the husband ; 'but 1 am sure that ; borrow els would be scarce.' ! 4 Hut what barm can my using Mrs. Loveil's coffee-pot for a singlo morning do, 1 would like to know V Mr. Armand answered this interrogatory not, however, conclusively enough to sat isfy his wife. Mrs. Lave 11's opinion on the subject being much more to the point, will best enlighten the reader, and so we will give that. Mrs. Lovell was prepar ing to go down to breakfast, when her cook came to her chamber door, ar.d said— ' Mrs. Armand, ma'am, want* you to lend her your coffee pot. fche savs Kitty melt ed the bottom ot hers, and it audi mended yet. She justs wants it for tins nrior mg.' 4 Very well,'relumed .Mrs. Lovell.— The tone in which it was said, did not ex press much pleasure. As the girl re tired, Mrs. Jveil remarked, in u gtum bling way, to her husband— ' And no doubt, K.uy'll melt Uie hot torn off of ir.ine before night.' 4 \ ou are nut going lo iet her have that handsome Britannia coffee-pot ?' said Air. Lovell. 4 I have no other and she knows it.' 4 You might sny that you have only one. C?he will think that in use.' 4 No, sho won't ; for 6he is very well aware of the lacl, that we don't make col fee, unless when we happen to have com pany,' 4 As you had not the resolution to say 'no,' you will have to take your chance.' 4 And 'lie chances will all be against me, Ol that I am certain. I never loan ed Mrs. Armand anything in my life, thai il didn't come home injured in some way.' 4 Then your coffee-pot will hardly prove an exception.' 4 I'm afraid not. Oil dear ! I wish that people would let iheir neighbors possess the little they have in peace. I've had that set of Brittania ware for five Years, and there is not a bad scratch nor bruise Upon any piece of it. If Mrs. Armand lets the coffee pot get injured, I shall be too angry.' 'I almost hope she will,'said Mr. Lovell. 4 Why flenrv V 4 You will, then, in all probability, fall bark upon your reserved rights, and throw Mrs. Armand, in future, upon hers.' 4 What are your reserved rights ?' ' In this case, yours will he to refuse lend ing what your neighbors should buy ; and hers will be to buy "what she can't conveni ently borrow.' I don't wish to offend iu-r ; said Mrs. Lov ell, *btit if she does let my coffee pot get injured, 1 shall be too much put out.' 4 In oilier wards, you will say something sharp about it.' 4 Very likely. I'm apt, you know, to speak out on the sptr of the occasion.' ' Then I shall be very well content to SPC the spout knocked off, the handle bent, or a bruise as large as a walnut in the side of your coffee pot.' 4 Henry ! Why w ill you say so !' 4 Because I happen lo feel all I say.— This borrowing nuisance is intolerable, and i's suppression can hardly b obtained at too dear a cost. flow manv umbrellas has Mrs. Armand lost or ruined f-r us in the last two years ?' 4 Don't ask rue that question. I've ne ver tried to keep the 'counts ' Half a dozen at least.' Yuu may safely set the number down at that. But, if I could get ufl with um brellas, I'd buy a case, and let lor have i one a month, and think the arrangement a bargain. The fact is, I have scarcely an article of movable household goods,or wear ing apparel, that doesn't show sad evi dences of having been used hy some one beside myseif*. You know that dear litlle ! merino cloak of Charley 's, in which he looked so sweet V 4 Yes. What of it V 4 Last Sunday Mrs. Armand had her ba by baptized. Of course she had nothing dpcerit to put on it, and of course sent fur Charley's cloak. What could I do?' 4 You could have declined letting her have the cloak.' 4 Not under the circumstances.' 4 Hasn't tier baby a cloak V 4 Yes, hut it's full ef grease spots, not fit to be seen.' 4 It's good enough for her baby, if she don't think proper to provide a better one.' 4 All very easy said. But I cuuldu tre fuse the ch.ak, though 1 let it go with fear and trembling. Now just look at it ! Mis. Lovell opened a drawer,and taking out the dove-color* d cloak, with its white and bloc- lining, slowly opened it. Bless rrn !' exclaimed her husband, as j the hack of the collar was displayed, and ! showed several square inches of discolorn ! vion. 4 What in the world tiavo done that V • Perspiration from the child's hcao. — : Charley has worn it twenty tiYres, yet not i a spot was to be seen before. But this is not the wotsst. To keep the baby from crying in church, a piece of red candy was pushed into its mouth.' • Goodness !' 4 And as the baby was cutting teeth, the result can hardly be wondered at.' ; Mrs. Lovell held up the front of the cloak, j From the collar to the skirt were lines, broad irregular patches, and linger marks, j dark, red and gummy. 4 'l'll at beats everything !'exclaimed Mr. i Lovell. 4 But it isn't all,' added his wife, as f!ib turned the cloak around, ami showed a grease spot half as large as her baud upon the skirt. 4 Alter the child was brought home, nurse took off the cloak and threw it upon the table, where one of the children had just laid a large slice of biead ar.d but ter.' 4 Is that all V asked Mr. Lovell. 4 1 haven't Joukcd any further,' replied j Mrs. Lovell, tossing the ruined garment from her with an impatient air. 4 But isn't it too much to hear ?' 4 What did ihe lady say when she bro't it home V 4 She sent it in by one of her girls, who said that there were two or three spots on the cloak, for which Mis. Armand was sor j ry ; but she thought 1 could easily rub them out.' 4 Humph !' 4 Ihe cloak is totally ruined. I don't know when 1 had any thing to vex me so much. Arid it was such a beauty.' ' What will you do V 4 Throw it away. 1 can't let my baby wear a soiled and greasv eloek. See !' and Mrs. Lovell again went to her druwers, 4 I've got cashmere for a new one.' 4 Well now, this is too bad!' exclaimed *lr. Love!!. 4 Too bad! If I were you, I'd send her the cloak, with my compli menls, and tell her to keep it.' 4 Oh, 1 don't wish to make her an en j emy.' 4 Beiter Inve such persons enemies than friends.' 4 Perhaps not.' 4 What's the use of your making a new cloak fir Charley? 4 You'll lend it to Mrs. Armand when she wants to semi her baby out and the ' 4 Beg your pardon, husband dear ! But i 1 will do no such thing !* 4 We'll see.' 4 And we will see.' Mrs. Lovell spoke pretty resolutely, as if her mind were, lor once in her life, made i up not to be imposed upon. The breakfast bell ringing at the mo ment Mr. Love!! dropped tlie subject for the discu-sion of one rather more agreea i ble. The day passed w itliout the return of | the coffee put, about winch .Mrs. Lovell | could not help feeling some uneasiness.— And she had reason; for nothing came ti .me from the hands of the incorrigible i b 'rrowcr that did not show signs ol bard j or careless usage. On the next day Mrs. Armand called in ! to pav her neighbors a visit -4 I haven't sent home your coffee pot i yet,' said .'he. during a pause in the con versation that followed her cntianee. 4 I | told Kitty yesterday to take ours imrnedi l ately and get it mended ; but I found this morning that she bad failed to do so. I never saw such a careless, forgetful crea t lure hi my life.' * It's no matter,' Mrs. Lovell forced her self to say, at the cost of a departure from | the truth. ' ();>, 1 knew, it was no difference, be cause vuu don'l make coffee r< gularly,' re sponded Mis. Artnai.d ; but, then, I never like to be using other people's things when I can help it. Besides uur Kitty is sncb a careless creature, that every thing she touches is in danger; and I'm afraid it might get injured. I noticed a little dent in the spout this morning.' ' Not a bad one ?'said Mrs. Lovell, thrown a little off*her gnaid hy this admission.— The tone in which sli spoke expressed hnr anxiety. 'Oh no, no !' replied Mr*. Armand quickly. You would hardly ste it unless it were pointed nut. But even for so trilling an injury 1 can assure you 1 scolded Kitty well. As soon as Igo home, 1 will start her off' with my coffee pot, it she has not already taken it to the tinner's.' Days passed, but the codec pot still re mained in the possession of Mrs. Armand. In the inean time, Charley's new cloak of very tine light hlue cashmere was fin ished, and as Mrs. Lovell was a little proud of her baby what mother is not ?—the cl ak went out to take an airing, the buhy inside of course, eve 1 y day fur a-week af ttr wards. One afternoon some friends came 11, and Mrs. Lovell persuaded them to stay and spend the evening. Shortly alter they arrived, a messenger came from Mrs. Ar mand with a request for the loan of Char ley's cloak, as the mother wanted to send her baby down to Jones' Hotel, that a friend of her's, who was passing through the city, might see him. Mrs. Lovell said, 4 very well,' and took from a drawer the dove colored merino cloak that had suffered so severely at the christening, and handed it to the girl who had come from Mrs. Armand. Irt n few minutes the girl returned with the cloak, and said— -4 It isn't the one that Mrs. Armand wants. She says, please to let her have the hlue one. She'll take good care of it. Mrs. Lovell ook dove-colored cloak, SATURDAY, JUNL 9, 1849. and turned with it to the drawer slowly, debating in Iter mind what she should do. She must either offend Mrs. Armaud, or run the risk of having the new cloak, which eo9t ten dollars, besides her labor, spoiled as the other had been. She did not wish to do die former ; but, how could she submit to the latter ? Just as, in her doubt and hesitation, she laid her hand up on the new garment, a thought struck her, and turning to the girl, she said— -4 Itil AJrs. Arrnand that she can have the light cloak in welcome; but Charley is going out, and will wear the blue one.' The girl departed, and Charley gut an extra airing that day# Mrs. A r (lift IKI was exceedingly indignant, and wondered if Mrs. Loveil supposed she was going to send her child out in thai' soiled and grea sy tiling !' Towards supper time. Mrs. Lovell's cook asked her if she wished coffee made. 4 Ch, certainly,' was replied. 4 Mrs. Arm.md has our coll'e-pot.' 4 I know. You must go in for it.' 1 lie cook took off her apron, and ran in to Mrs. Armand's for the c; flee-pot. In a few moments she leturried, and said 4 Mrs. Arrnand can't let you have it be (ore to-morrow. Her sis not mended yet, and Mr. Arrnand always drk.ks coffee for supper. But go and tell her that I have compa ny and cannot do without it,' replied Mrs. L., a little impatiently. I'lie girl went back. When she return ed, the coffee-pot was in her possession.— As she set it down before Mrs. Loveil, she said 1 Mrs. Arrnand didn't seem to like it much.' 4 Like what much ?' ■ \ <>ur sending again. She says her husband never drinks ua, and she don't know how she is going to make coffee.' 4 But that isn't my c< flee pot !' 4 Yes ina'am.* 4 Oh r.o. Never !' And Mrs. Loveil took up a dingy looking affair that her cook had brought in and c\ed it doubtiugly.— She remembered her Briltannia coffee pot as a he utiful piece of ware, without a scratch or bruise, and bright as silver. But this was asdu'l as pewter ; a pait of the bottom, had been melted off or turn ed uu ; there were several large dents in it ; the mouth of the spout had received a disfiguring bruise am! the little jet knob on the lid was entirely broken off! No, no—this was not the cofl- e pot. But the j cook insisted that it was, and soon proved her asserti .n. I ir.s was too much for Mrs. Loveil, and the forbearance of that long suffering lady yielded under the too heavy pressute it ( was railed to sustain. 4 That my coffee-pot !' she exclaimed with a most indignant emphasis, and lift ing it from the table ott which the cook had placed it, she set tl down upon a tea tray, which contained the other pieces be longing to her beautiful set of Britannia. The contrast was lamentable. 4 There !' said she, with a glowing cheek, und voice pitched an octave higher than u>u.tl. 4 Take the whole set in to Mrs. Armaud, with my compliments, and say that I make her a present of it.' The cook didn't need to he told her er rand twice; but before Mrs. Loveil had time for reflection and repentance, she was i beyond recall. The dining room and kitchen of Mrs. Armand's house were in the same story, and separated only by a door. It hap pened that Mr. Arrnand was at home when j Mrs. I .ovcll's cook came in and presented the breakfast and tea set, with the compli ments of her mistress. The tone in which the message was given, as i*. reached his ears, satisfied htm tliat something was wrong ; and he was put he) mid doubt when lie heard his wile say, with unusual excite ment in her voice,— 4 Take them back ! Take them hack !' The girl retreated hastily, und left her in full possession ol the tray and its con- i tents. 4 What's the matter ?' inquired Mr. Ar- | inand, as his wife retreated into the dining room, with flushed face and a quivering hp. I It was some moments before she could speak, and then she said something in a confused way about an insult. Not being able to understand what it all meant, Mr Arrnand sought for information in the kitchen. 4 Whoso is this ?' he said to Kilty,laying his hand upon the Britannia set. 4 Mrs. Lovell's,' replied Kitty. 4 Why is it here ?' 4 Mrs. Loveil sent it in as a present to Mrs. Arrnand.' 4 Indeed !' Mr. Arrnand looked a little closer. 4 Is this the cofi'ee-pol we have been us ing for a week !' 4 Yes sir.' 4 Humph!' Light was breaking into his mind 4 Abusing, I should have snid,' he add ed. And because the coffee pot has ' ruined, and the set broken, Mrs. Loveil makes us a present of what remains ! Kitty held down her bead in silence. After examining the coffee-pot, and con | trusting it with other pieces of the set, Mr. Arrnand made an angry exclamation, and retired from the kitchen. He did not re : enter the dining room where he had left , his wife, but took up his hat, and going out of the front door, shut it hard alter him. In about half an hour, he returned 4 Where have you been ?' his wife ven tured to ask as Ue entered the room, where site was sitting in no very enviable mood. 4 Trying to repair the wrong you have done.' 4 How do you mean?' asked Mrs. Ar rnand. 4 I've bought a handsome set of Britan nia ware for Mrs. Loveil,' replied the litis bind, 4 and sent it to her with a note of apology, and a request front me, as a par ticular favor, never to lend you anything again, as you would be sure to injure ii.' 4 Mr, Arrnand !' 4 It's true, every word of it. 1 never was so mortified by anything in my life. 1 don't wonder that Mrs. Loveil sent you i the beautiful set you had broken. The I fact is, this borrowing system must come 'to an end. If you want any thing, buy it ; j and if you are not able do without it.' i Poor Mrs. Arrnand, whose feelings during the brief absence of her husband were by no means to he envied, now burst into tears and cried bitterly. Mr. Ar i maud made no attempt to sooth the dis tress of his wife. He felt a littie angry; and when one is angry, there is not much room left in the mind for sympathy to wards those who have excited the anger. Alter supper, while Mrs. Arrnand sat | sewing, her face under a cloud, and Mr. i Arrnand was endeavoring to get over the i unpleasant excitement he had experienced, j by means of a book, some one rung the hell. 1n u little while Mr. Loveil was an ; nounced. 4 What in the world can he want !' said Mrs. Arrnand -4 More about the coffee-pot,' replied Mr. i Arrnand, as he laid aside his book. Mrs. Armaud made no answ r er, and her husband left the room where they were ] sitting, and entered the parlor. Mr. Lov | ell, who was standing on the floor, extend ! ded his hand, and said with a smile— -4 I'm afraid my wife's hasty conduct — for which she is extremely sorry—has both hurt and offended you. And as those are matters which, if left to themselves, • like hidden lire, increase to a flame, I have thought it best to see you at once and of fer all necessary apologies on her bel alf.' ' Not hurt in the least !'replied Mr. Ar rnand good liumoredly. 1 And as for a ; pologies, .Mrs. Loveil wants no better one than the wreck of her beautiful coffee pot which I have minutely examined. I'm glad she sent it back, just as she did, and for two reasons. It gave nte an opportu | nity to repair the wrong which had been ; done, and served as a lesson to my wife, such as she needed and will not soon for get. No, no, Mr. Loveil ! don't let this i make you feel in the least unpleasant.' ! 4 But mv wife says she cannot think of j keeping the beautiful tea and coffee set you j sent her.' 1 Tell her that she will have to keep I thpm. They are hers in simple justice. 1 If she sends them here, they will not be recieved. So she has no remedy. We want a set, and will keep yours. If a dis 'ured coffee-pot lias to be used, let it be j -® who are guilty of the abuse.— ! And now, *r. Loveil, tell your good lady | for me, that if she lends my wife any thing more, I will not be responsible ; as I have always disapproved the system, and am j now. more than ever, opposed to it. This last sentence was spoken playfully. ! After half an hour's good humored conver- j sntion, the gentlemen parted. It was some days before the ladies met, and then j | they were a little reserved towards each ' other. This reserve never entirely wore oil. But there was no more borrowing from Mrs. Loveil, nor any one else; for Mrs. Arrnand was entirely cured of her desire to make others keep the scriptural injunction, to which allusion was made in the opening of our story. LIFE. Change is the constant feature of society. The world is like a magic lantern, or the , shilling scenes of a pantoinine. Ten < years convert the population of schools in- j to men and women, the young into fathers , and matrons, make and mar fortunes, and j bury the last generation but one. Twenty ! years convert infants into lovers, and fath- ; ers and mothers ; render youth the oper ative generations; decide men's fortunes and distinctions ; convert active men into crawling drivellers ; and bury all preced ing generations. Thirty years raises an active generation from nonentity ; change fascinating beauties into bearable old wo men ; convert lovers into grand fathers ; and bury the active generation, or reduce them to decrepitude and imbecility. Forty years, alas ! change the face of all society ; infants are growing old ; the bloom ot youth and beauty have passed away ; two active generations have been swept front ; the stage of life ; names so cherished are ' forgotten ; and unsuspected candidates tor fame have started from the exhaustless womb of nature. Fifty years—why should anv desire to retain affections from maturi tv for fifty years? It is to behold a world of which you know nothing, and to which you are unknown. It is to weep for the generations long passed—for lovers, for parents, for childreu, for friends in the New Series—Vol.3—No. 33. j "rflve. It is to see everything turned up* j side down by the fickle hand of fortune, ! and the absolute despotism of crime.
