Gone us the spring-time Gladdened the earth, Just as the blossoms Had told their new birth, Gone with the sound of .Spring's harmony near, Gone where strains sweeter now ravish the car. Gone like the snow flukes, Purer than they; Gently and peacefully Passed She away; Pur from the earth-home her presence had blest, Hastened she, "farther on." passed She to r. -t. Patiently toiling Wearily on Over life's battle path Thus has she gone, Hearing the sheaves of her gleaning below. To the bright land where no tears ever flow. Round her were gathered The friends of tier life; Fondly they held her While passing from strife; And their presence lent light to the earth-weary eves, And cheered the dark way to her home in the'skles. Soft be thv footfall Near her low grave; Soft as the music Iler loving tones gave: Soft as the spirit song- h, aring lier on, Tread lightly—gently—for thus she has gone. bring ye the cypress Twined with the ro.-c, Gather fresh tl.arrets At each bright day's close; Twine ye a garland its beatify to shed Around the low grave of the beautiful dead. M. "REMEMBER THY CREATOR IN THE DATS OF THY YOUTH." Remember thy Creator now, And turn while yet 'tis day; Ere the night of death o'crtake you, And you go from earth away. Remember that in youth's tiic time, To make your peace with God ; You'll not regret when old age comes, You've chose the heavenly road. Do not delay till 'tis too late, And lose your soul in hell; But enter at the heavenly gate, That you in peace may dwell. The tide of life is ebbing fast, And soon 'twill roll away; And then when all your life is past, You'll i.sh for lime to pray. O, sinner, turn, while Christ is near, And now while yet 'tis day; And if you lend a listening ear, He'll teach you how to pray. O will you seek salvation now, And try to get to heaven; Or will you tread the paths of .-in, And from His face be driven? Flattery in Prayer. Says Dr. Porter : 1 Suppose, as pastor •of a congregation, you make the closing prayer on Sabbath, after a brother in the ministry lias kindly preached for you through the day. You allude to his per uions iu terms such as worldly politeness em ploys on common subjects, that is, in terms of direct compliment. In thus cancelling an obligation to a fellow-worm, do you nut offend against the sanctity of the place and the occasion, aud the dignity (so to speak; of devotion? 1 have no doubt that intel ligent and conscientious people often feel on this point, a degree of impropriety in the habits of ministers; and the same hab its are sometimes carried to a great extreme in more private devotions, such as acknowl edging the hospitalities of families.' Heart Force. A man's force in the world, other things being equal, is just in the ratio of the force and strength of his heart. A full-hcart ed man is always a powerful man; if he Le erroneous, then he is powerful for error; if the thing is in his heart, he is sure tu make it notorious, even though it may he downright falsehood. Let a man be ever so ignorant, still if his heart be full of love to the cause, he becomes a powerful man for that object, because lie has heart-pow er, heart-force. A man may be deficient in many of the advantages of education, in many of those niceties which are so much looked upon in society; but once give him a strong heart that beats hard, and there is no mistake about power. Let him have a heart that is right full up to the brim with an object, aud that man will do the thing or else will die gloriously defeated, and will glory in his defeat. Heart is pow er. Flowers. Of all the minor creations of God, flow ers seem to be the most completely the ef fusions of his love of beauty, grace and joy. Of all the minor objects which sur round us, they are the least connected with our absolute necessities. Yegetatiou might proceed, the earth might be clothed with a sober green ; all the processes of fructification might be per fected without being attended by the glory with which the flower is crowned; but beauteous blossoms of endless varieties, are radiant evidence of the boundless benevo lence of the Deity. They are made solely to gladden the heart of man, for a light to his eyes, for a living inspiration of grace to his spirit, for a perpetual admiration. The Greeks, whose souls pre-eminently sympathized with the spirit of grace and beauty in everything, were enthusiastic in their love, and lavish in their use of flow ers. They scattered them in the porticos of their temples, they were offered on the altars of some of their deities, they were strewed in their conquerors' path—on all occasions of festivity and rejoicing they were strewn about, and wore in garlands. The guests at banquets were crowded with them—the bowl was wreathed with ' them and to express gladness, like sunshine, they cast flowers. Broken Vows. Calls to repentance have been often af i lorded us. feiekucss has been sent to sub , due our hearts, and lead us to think oarn i estly on our future destiny. It has come j when we were the busiest with the world, ; its pleasures and its profits. When we j would not reflect, but were dashing on in i our mad career, carelessly and recklessly, the hand of affliction has been laid upon us, days ot pain and nights of anguish, the slow fever, the sudden prostration of bodi | ly powers, have brought us into the silent chamber, and forced us to review the past jas in the light of eternity. Broken prom , ises and resolutions have risen up in all I their fearful proportions. Once more we have turned to the Lord—promised amend ment, provided he would grant restoration, besought him to relieve, in order to enable us to confess him before men; but alas, the current of health has driven away all our intended purposes, and we look upon them now as the vagaries of a disordered intellect, or the results of a broken constitution. We have failed to keep our word, and are still in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity. The Ait of Not Hearing. The art of not hearing should be taught in every well regulated family. It is full as important to domestic happiness as a cul tivated ear, for which so much money and time are expended. There are so inanv things which are painful to hear—many which we ought nut to hear—very many which if heard will disturb the temper, cor rupt simplicity and modesty, distract from contentment and happiness, that every one should be educated to take in or shut out sounds, according to their pleasure. If a man falls into a violent passion,and | calls nie all manner of names, the first word shuts my ear and I hear no more. If, in my quiet voyage of lite, I find myself caught in one of the domestic whirlwinds of scolding I shut my ears as a sailor would furl his sails, and making all tight scud be fore the gale. If a hot and restless man begins to inflame my feelings, L consider what mischief these fiery sparks may do in the magazine below where my temper is kept, and instantly close the door. Does a gadding, mischief-making fellow, begin to inform me what people are saying about me, down drops the portcullis of my ear, and he cannot get in any farther. Does the collector of a neighborhood's scandal ask my ear as a warehouse, it instinctively shuts up. Some people seem anxious to hear everything that will vex and annoy them. If it is hinted that any one has spoken evil of them, they set about search ing the matter, and finding out. If all the petty things said of one by heedless or ill uaturcd idlers were to be brought home to him, he would become a mere walking pin cushion, stuck full of sharp remarks, i should as soon think of thanking a man for emptying upon my bed a busliel of net tles, or setting loose a swarm of ants in my chamber, or raising a pungent dust in my house generally, as to bring in upon me all the tattles of careless or spiteful people. If )uu would be happy, when among good men, open your ears ; when among bad shut them. And as the throat has a muscular arrangement by which it takes care of the air passages of its own accord, so the cars should be trained to an'autom atic dulness of hearing! It is not worth while to hear what your servants say when they are angry; what your children say after they have slammed the door; what your neighbors say about your children; what your rivals say about your business, your dress, or your affairs. This art of not hearing, though un taught in the schools, is by no means un known, or unpracticed in society. 1 have noticed that a well bred woman never hears an impertinent or vulgar remark. A kind of discreet deafness saves one from many insults, from much blame, from not a little apparent connivance in dishonorable convei'sation. There are two doors inside the ears —a right hand door, leading to the heart, and a left-hand door, with a broad and steep passage out into the open air. This last door receives all ugliness, profanity, vulgar ity, mischief-making, which suddenly finds them outside of me. Judicious teachers and indulgent parents save young urchin; a world of trouble by a convenient deafness. Bankers and money lenders are often ex tremely hard of hearing, when unsafe bor rowers are importunate. I never hear a man who runs after me in the street, bawl ing my name at the top of his voice; nor persons that talk evil of those who give unasked advice about my own affairs; nor those who talk largely about things of which they are ignorant. If they are sounds of kindness, of mirth, of love, open fly my cars ! But temper, or harshness, or hatred, or vulgarity, or flat tery, shut them. If you keep your gar deu gate shut, your flowers and fruit will be safe. If you keep your door closed, no thief will run oft' with your silver ; and if you keep your heart shut, your heart will lose neither its flowers nor its treasures. B*%.The wasp attacks the ripest fruit first; so slander attempts to wound the most lione=t fame MISCELLANEOUS CAN THIS BE JUSTICE? As the sun shone down gaily one morn ing on the crowded streets of the great metropolis, a drunkard came forth from the little grog shop where lie had passed the night, lie stood and pondered, lie was racked by the agonies which mark the period immediately subsequent to a fit of intoxication. Pain and hunger tore liiw; despair, mortification, and deep disgust with himself burnt his soul. He felt his degradation. With an unwonted bitter ness, thoughts of many chances neglected —of weeks spent in riot—of the scorn of the world, and the superciliousness of those called respectable, cut his heart with a sharp giief. Heaving an inward groan, he started off", down a bye street, to walk away if possible such fearful reflections. After a while, his appetite became acute, and he wished for food. Wishing merely was in vain, aud he had not a ted cent. — In an evil momeut he yielded to the temp ter. He saw in a small grocery sumo bread piled on a barrel top. He entered, and while the owner was busy at a hack shelf, the ravenous creature purloined a loaf, and made off with it. The keeper of the grocery saw him as he went —discover- ed the theft, and pursued the criminal. — lie was brought back, a policeman called, and the deed sustained by the presence of the stolen article about the person of the accused. Po the thief was taken off" to prison, and being arrainged a few hours altcrward, was summarily convicted, lid sentenced to the customary place just out of the city, there to remain for many days at hard labor and confinement. During the same hour wherein these things were transacting—in another and distant part of the town sat a gentleman in a parlor. The carpet very thick, the curtains glossy silk, and the chairs heavy mahogany. The personage who sat there seemed of about middle size, rather short and stout in figure, and head a little bald. On a table near him lay a hat with a broad brim. 13y the opposite side of the table stood a second gentleman, elegantly attired, and with a lofty look that spoke of pride within. ' And can the transfer be made without the others knowing it?' said the gentleman in the chair. ' As easy as speak,' ausivc-reu the other, 1 they never examine.' ' But they might examine.' 'I tell you, only pay them a handsome dividend, and they'll re c t easy any length of time.' Then the middle aged gentleman put liis finger under hi* chin, and looked down a mom cut üb* t racted ly. ' Have you not determined yet?' asked the person standing, ' Long ago, sir, long ago. 13ut it is a dangcrou ■ game, and uiust be played cau tiously.' •' Well, >liall we take this stop or not?' The bald man raised up, his twinkling eve met that of his companion, and the two looked at each other a minute—there was an evil fatality in that look. Then the stout gentleman bent his head gently two or three times without speaking. The other understood him; he smiled, and turning, left the apartment. Who, think you, were they? Two ras cals of rank. The one seated was princi pal officer of a monied institution—the back parlor of which was the scene of the incident just described. The second—a dealer in the kind of article which the in stitution manufactured—had come there to have a private conference with the first.— The subject was a sham for making a for tune jointly, by means of peculiar facili ties for cheating possessed by both. Our narration must skip over interven ing events, to the period when the conspir acy of these two wicked men worked its way out. The bubble burst. The masters had arranged things well, and they tri umphed. Vet was the tempest a terrible one ! widows left with a narrow competence; young children; sick people whose cases were hopeless, but who might linger on for many years; sailors away upon the ocean; mechanics, fishermen, whose earn ings were scant and dearly bought; serv ing girls, keepers of small shops, young men just commencing business, economical doctors and clergymen in their novitiate, all these and a hundred more, had either deposited money in the institution, or were sufferers by its bankruptcy in other ways. It would be an endless effort, al most to tell who was wronged. Yet the tempest blew over after a time. He of the grey eye was building a few miles off, a palace like residence. It was of great size and beauty. Now he had it furnished with the most sumptuous luxury. Cost and pains were not spared, until de sire had no further room for wishing.— Here this rich man settled himself; and here, when lie had become a little used to his grandeur, so that it did not sit awkward ly upon him, he determined to give a superb entertainment. Preparations were accordingly made; scientific cooks were engaged; foreign del icacies purchased, and the most exquisite dishes prepared. The hour and the company arrived ; and New Series—Vol. XIV. No. 27. the master of the feast looked around with a smile, as each one seated himself at his place. They ate and drank aud made mer ry delight, and Friendliness and Content seemed the presidng spirits of the banquet. After a while, when their glasses were fil led with rich wine, it was proposed that they should have a toast. Sua benevolent elderly gentleman rose, and after speaking a few moments, to the purport that lie felt sure that all present would join him, he raised his glass aloft, his example being followed by the others, and said ; ' Eci u hamlcd laws —which in our glori ous republic dispense to all impartially their due.' When the revelers heard the sentiment they clinked their glasses together, and raised a peal which made the lofty ceiling ring again—then a second and a third— which was a louder aud gladder peal than either. And at the same moment that the echoes thereof died away, there was about a mile oil a human being writhing in bis last ag ony. It was that of the tippler, who stole the leaf when he was famishing, and had been sent to expiate his crime by toil and imprisonment. The dissipation of years had made him weak, and he could not I. tr up against exposure, joined with hard work.* lie fell sick. Who would minister to a rascally jail hi: J ? He went Irom bad to worse, and was soon in a dying condi tion. ]sc fore the dinnerparty returned to their homes that night, the corpse of the convict ed thief lay cold and clayed upon the pris on lioor. Swiftness of Birds. A German ornithulogist says: 4 The vulture can fly at the rate of one hundred and lif'ty miics an hour. Observations made on the coast of Labrador, convinced Major Cartwright that the wild goose can travel at the rate of ninety miles an hour. The common crow can fly twenty five miles; swallows according to Spallagin, ninety-two miles an hour. It is said that a falcon was discovered at Malta twenty-four hours after the departure of Henry IV from Fontain bleau. If true this bird must have flown fifteen hours at the rate of fifty seven miles, not allowing him to rest a moment during the whole time.' The rice bird, which afterwards becomes the reed bird of Delaware Hay, and the bobolink of New York, is often found be low Philadelphia with green rice in its crop. Indeed this iA said to be true of pigeons during the rice growing season. Fearful Tragedy in Orange, 11. J. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon oi' the Ist May the building occupied as a dwel ling and blacksmith shop by a man named Ilobbs, and standing in the lane off Main street, near the market, in Orange, was discovered to be on lire. The alarm was given, and the people hastened to the place, but found ft impossible to save the premises.

The suspicions of everybody were di rected to llobbs, the husband and father, as the author of this tragedy. A short time before the discovery of the lire he was seen by several persons to hasten from his dwelling, and make his way out of the village toward Eloomfield. As he was of ten in difficulty with his wife, and of known intemperate habits, this occurrence was not calculated to create attention.— The neighbors had repeatedly been called to his bouse to separate him from his wife, whose life he had frequently threatened. For ten days past lie had been several times attacked by delirium tremens. Ho was followed to Blooiuficld, discovered and arrested. Mrs. Jlobbs is described by her neigh bors as a quiet and peaeable, though igno rant woman, and her situation, coupled witb a drunken man menacing her life, and brutally beating her upon slight prov ocation, had excited general commisera tion. — X.
