DOUBT NOT.
BT J . M . KXOWLTON.
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!

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 !
Ss'.en in trie follow matrimonial passage of

-o of a strange looking Britannia ware
coffee pot.
1 here did that come from, Farah?'
u 'as the natural inquiry of Mr. Armand, as
his eye-, rested upon this handsome addi
tion to the appendage of the tray.
'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

' > 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<B2ii
occasion, lor this is to be unjust to others,
who are constantly deprived ot the use or
p issessiou of such things ns are their own.'
' 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. It
| is, in a word, to behold the vanity of life
in all the vanities of display.

Only whisper the word and its worship.
