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.' A fair sample of j the d>cusion held on the subject may be j !

'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. ' Ob ! because I wouldn't.' 4 Give a reason. Men are always fierce ' sough for reasons !' 4 Because I don't tfiink it right to bor n .v other people's things, when we can do itli -ut them.' 'We couldn't do without a coffee pot, could we V ' Yes ; I think so.' 1 How, pray V ' Hither than borrow, f would have tTi'-ii!*- u.l f>r breakfast, until our coffee jn' w.H-H mended.* ' A nice grumbling time there would vf h'-n, if 1 had tried to put V much (or !r\ ing to provide for your ' -"fort,' fcaid Mrs. Armand, in a corn {Mime s* tune of voice. 1 1 1-- v < r wish you to do wrong for the < f erun 11" my comfort,' returned i'T husband. ° 'Bo wrong! Do you mean to say that 1 !• wrong to borrow and lend?' 'lt ie wrunw to borrow on every trifling <&si@ia, 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.
