But, now, metallic pens disclosq Alone the poet’s numbers; In iron inspiration glows, Or with the minstrel slumbers. Fair Damsel ! could my pen impart, In prose or lofty rhvine, The pure emotions of mv heart, To speed the flight of time; What metal from the womb of earth Could worth intrinsic bear, To stamp with corresponding wo**th The blessings thou shouldst share ’ Go when the morning shincth, Go when the noon is bright, Go when the eve declineth, Go in the hush of night; Go with pure mind and feeling, Fling earthly thoughts away, And in thy chamber kneeling, Do thou in secret pray. Remember all who love thee, All who are loved by thee, Pray for those who hate thee, If any such there be. Then for thyself in meekness, , A blessing humbly claim, And link with each petition Thy*Great Redeemer’s name. Or if ’tis e’er denied thee In solitude to ’>ray, Should holy thoughts coinc o'er thee When friends are round thy way ; E’en then the silent breathing Of thy spirit raised above, Will reach His throne of glory, Who is Mercy, Truth and Love. Oh ! not a joy or blessing, With this can wc compare, The power that has given us, 'Fo pour out our souls in prayer! When thou pin’st in sadness, Before his footstool fall, And remember in thy gladness, His grace who gave thee all. It* the poor man pass thy door, Give him of thy bounteous store, Give him food and give him gold ; Give him she!ter from the cold; Aid him his lone life to live; For ’tis angel like to give. Though wordly riches thou hast not, Give to him of poorer lot; Think thee of the widow's mite— In the holy Master's sight; It was more, a thousand fold, Than the rich man's hoard of gold. Give, it is the better part, Give to him, “the poor in heart,” Give of love in large degree, Give of hope and sympathy; Cheer to them who sigh forlorn, Light to him whose lamp is gone. Give the gray haired wanderer room, Lead him gently to the tomb ; Lei him not in friendless clime, Float adown the tide of time ; Hear the mother’s lonely call, She, the dearest one of all. And the loßt abandoned one ; In thy pathway do not shun ; Of thy kindness she hath need, Bind with balm the bruised reed; Give, and gills above all price, Shall be thine in Paradise. Jiltsccllahcous.

'The actual nature and conditions of i:T Ho has hidden from us—no chart of the v H •! Eternity is given us —no celestial guide- [.!iv 10.-.dirie.c. and prepares •.<.. -Hi*"-• of the -piiv.nl world. Hence .Miioti has a wide field for its speculations. which. so long as they do not positively contradict the revelation of the Scriptures; cannot be dis proved. We naturally enough transfer to our idea of Heaven, whatever we love and reverence on earth. Thither the Catholic carries in his fancy the impo sing rights and time-honored solemnities of his worship. There the Methodist sees his love-feasts and camp meetings in the groves and by the still waters and green pastures of the Blessed Abodes. The Quaker, in the stillness of the self-communing, remembers that there was a silence in Heaveu. The Churchman listening to the solemn chant of vocal music, or the deep tones of the organ r thinks of the songs of the Elders, and the golden harps of the New Jerusalem. The heaven of the Northern nations of Europe was a gross and sensual reflection of the earthly life of a barbarous and brutal people. The Indians of North America have a vague notion of a sunset land—a beautiful paradise far in the West—mountains and forests filled with deer and buffalo—lakes and streams swarming with fishes—the happy hunting ground of Souls. In a letter from a devoted missionary among the West ern Indians, (Paul Blohm, a'converted Jew.) we have noticed a beautiful illustration of this belief. Near the Omahaw mission-house, on a high was a solitary Indian grave.—“ One Evening,” s ays the missionary, “having come home with some cattle, which I hpd been seeking, I heard some one wailing, and looking in the direction from whence it.proceeded, I found it to be from the grave near our house. In a moment after,' the mourner got up from a kneeling or lying posture, and turning to the setting sun, he stretched forth his arms in prayer and supplication, with an inten sity and earnestness as though he would detain the splendid luminary from running his course. With his body leaning forward, and his arms stretched towards the sun, he presented a most strikingfigure of sorrow and petition. It was solenißly awful. He seemed to me to be one of the ancients, come forth to teach me how to pray.” A venerable and worthy New England clergy man, on his death-bed, just before the close of his life, declared that he was only conscious of an aw fully solemn and intense curiosity to know the great secret of Death and Eternity. The excellent Dr. Nelson, of Missouri, was] one who, while on earth, seemed to live another and higher life, in contemplation of Infinite Purity and Happiness. A friend of ours once related an inci dent concerning him, which made a deep impression upon our mind. They had been travelling through a summers forenoon in the prarie, and had lain down to rest beneath a solitary tree. The doctor lay for a long time, silently looking upward through the opening of the boughs, into the still heavens, when he repeated the following lines, in a low tone, as if communicating with himself, in view of the wonders he described: “Oh the joys that arc there, mortal eye hath not seen ! Oh! the songs they sing there, with hosannas bc- v tween! Oh, the thrice-blessed song of the Lamb and of Moses! Oh, brightness on brightness 1 The pearl-gate un ■ closes! Oh, white wings of angels ! Oh, fields with white roses ! Oh, white tents of peace: where the rapt soul re poses ! Oh, the waters so still, and the pastures so green !” The brief hints afforded us by the sacred writings concerning the Better Land, are inspiring and beau tiful. Eye hath not seen nor the ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man to conceive of, the riches in store for the righteous. Heaven is described as a quiet habitation—a rest’ remaining for the people ol God. 1 Tears shall be wiped away from all eyes; there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pa : To how many death-beds have these words spoken peace! How many failing hearts have gathered strength from them to pass through the dark valley of shadows ! Yet we should not forget that u the kingdom of Heaven is within-;” that it is the state and affections ol the soul; the answer of a good conscience; the sense of harmony with God; a condition of Time as well as of Eternity. What is really momentous and all important with ns is the Present, by which the future is shaped and colored. A mere change of locality cannot alter the actual and intrinsic qualities .of the soul. Guilt and Remorse would make the golden streets ot Paradise intolerable as the burning marl of the infernal abodes, while Purity and Innocence would transform hell itself into Heaven. Labor, Labor is the command of Deity. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, was the dictate of the Great Being to all mankind, and, therefore, idleness is disobedience to God. Happiness, and prosperity attend the footsteps of the industrious man. He is contented while employed. His bodily health and strength are improved. His senses are awakened to the enjoyment of rational pleasures. His meals are seasoned with the sauce of the Spar tan laborer, and when he reposes his weary limbs at night, his sleep is sweet and refreshing. Thus it is that the command of the Almighty exhibits his wisdom and benevolence. But there is a point be yond which man ought not to go. There is a time for labor, and a time when the craft should be called off for refreshment and relaxation. Labor has, however, always been subject to capital. The desire to reap large profits blinds men to the inhu manity which they practice towards their lellow man. Old men and maidens, young men and chib dren, have been confined in close buildings where the atmosphere was unwholesome, and compelled to work from the dawn until late at night. This was never intended ; for it is not compatible with our mental and physical capacities. Man is no bler than the brute creation, and a better destiny was alloted for him even on this earth. Why then should he be made to toil and toil on. and drag out a weary existence to the grave ? Mankind; it is true, ought to be industrious, anti they must work, and work hard if they desire to make any. figure in this world. There is no royal road in this free republic to anything that brings honor or profit.— The statesman rests upon no couch of sloth and idleness. The lawyer, the printer, all who arc of any use in this world, must labor. Even he who, in the estimation of the world, is a genius —a be ing peculiarly gifted, works, and works as hard as anybody, and many ,of those splendid efforts, the magnificent impromptus, of great men, are the re sult of earnest reflection and long study. In our remarks we wish to exalt labor. We are commanded to labor. It is sweet to the body and the mind. It makes us strong in body and keeps us pure in mind. He who passes a life of idleness becomes a prey to bodily infirmities, and the slave of his own sordid passions. He injures himself and he injures society. We therefore, the friends of labor and of hard work, but the deter mined foes of oppression, whether it exhibits itself in the unequal acts of government, or in the slavish regulations of a trading association. One beauti ful feature of Democratic legislation is, that it pro tects the poor and the weak. It goes into the dwellings of the humble and extends comfort, as sistance and protection. —Democratic Union. Indications of a Great Mind.— To set out'in the world with no other principle than a crafty in tention to interest, betokens one who is destined for creeping through the inferior walks of life; but to give an early preference to honor above gain, when they stand in competition; to despise every advan tage which cannot be attained without dishonest arts.; to brook no meanness, to stoop to no dissim ulation, are of a great mind, the presage of and distinction in life. At the same time thftwirtuous sincerity is perfect ly consistent with the most prudent vigilence and caution. It is opposed tb cunning, not to true wisdom. It is not the simplicity of a weak and imprudent, but the candor oi an enlarged and noble mind, of one who scorns deceit, because he accounts it both base and unprofitable, and who seeks no dis guise, because he needs none to hide him, When tljou dost fell another’s jests, therein Omit the oaths, which true wit cannot need; Pick out of tales the mirth, bnt not the sin: f|e pares his apple who will cleanly feed. Raising the Dead. A few nights ago a medical friend of ours was quietly sitting down in his office after the cares and fatigues of the day, enveloped in a capacious dressing-gown and puffing away at a highly per fumed clgaij, and meditating upon the mutability of human affairs, when he heard voices in the street and soon a knocking at his door. Leisurely getting up sind opening it, he discovered three men, two of them in very thick coats, with round glaifed caps upon their heads,' and clubs in their hands, and the third, who was supported < between them, was in apparently a dying condition, groaning out, 11 Oh ! I’m killed, I’m killed!” “ Docther,” exclaimed one of the watchmen, l; this man says he's kilt, and we want you to ex amine him and see if his story is correct or no.” l * Oh, I'm sure I'm killed,” said the; man. w lf you’re sure of it, whatud you be seeing the docther an’ asking him questions for !” said the watchman. “If you're dead be quiet while I tell the docther! Ye see, docther, he’s been in a little bit of a scrimmage up here an’ gotla bad cut on his pate, an’ it ’nd be betthcr for you to fix it.” The doctor assented, and the patient was brought in and deposited in a chair by the watchmen, who went outside while he examined the man. He found that he had an ugly cut on the forehead which bled profusely, and after taking a stitch or two, washing off the blood, and putting on a piece of adhesive plaster, the doctor told him lie was more frightened tijan hurt, and worth a thousand dead men at that moment. “ Well, doctor,” said the relieved patient,“ it was a mighty ugly blow, and knocked me over as flat as a shingle, and I thought I was a goner. What is your fee, sir, for fixing me up ?” “ Five dollars, sir,” said the doctor. “ That's your regular fee, is it ?” “ Yes, sir, for a case of the kind.” •‘Well, doctor, here's a V, and I'm much obliged to you to boot. Now, sir, will yon be kind enough to tell me where that little door at the side of your office leads to ?” “ Certainly.” replied the doctor, pocketing his fee, “ that leads into an alley.” “ And where does that alley lead to !" “ It leads into the street.” “Ah! will you permit me to go out that way ?*’ “Certainly, sir,” replied the doctor “ any way you choose, sir.” “ I’m very much obliged to you, sir ” said the patient, “ and if I ever have need of Medical ser vices, I shall always call on you. Good night, doctor.” " Good night, sir,” said the doctor, and the patient walked out of the side door. A moment after, the doctor heard a voice at the alley gate saying, “ Hullo, watchmen, wlia.t are you doing there ?” l - Waiting for a man that got kilt, sir, an' his head split open; the docther's lixin 1 'im up, and we're waiting to take him to the watch house for fighting and disturbing the pace.” “ Oh, ho !” said the voice, “ thats it, is it! Well, the doctor's not got near through yet—it's a pretty bad job. Won't you go and take a drink and come back again' /” “ Thank ye, no; we’ll not dar' to lave, for fear he'd get away from nz.” “Ah, ha,” exclaimed the voice, and the owner of it walked off The doctor began to feel as if he had acted a little hastily, and perhaps got himself into a scrape; and in a few minutes a watchman poked his head into the door and commenced, Well, docther, is he—” but seeing the doctor alone in the room, exclaimed, “ Where's the man ?” “ What, the man you brought in here - Yis." “Oh, he's gone—went some time ago." “ Gone! and where is he gone to f “He may have gone to the devil for all 1 know replied the doctor, coolly. “ And where does the alley lead to ?” “ Into the street.” " Oh, thunder and turf’ and sure jthat was the blackguard that axed us to go dluink wid im,” said the watchman, turning to his companion. “ and wc didn t know him. Docther, he s the last dead sub ject we ll ever bring for you to workover. Come, Jim. maybe we 11 overtake him." Saying which, the door was closed, and the pair of ;; carrier pig eons" retired in great discomfiture. Plain and Pltliy Remarks of Old llumphery of Fits. Although no doctor, I have by me some excel lent prescriptions, and as I shall charge you nothing for them, you cannot grumble at the price. We are most of us subject to fits; I am visited with them myself, and I dare say that you- are also; now then for ra'y prescriptions:— For a fit of passion, walk out in the open air : you may speak your mind to the winds without hurting any one, or proclaiming yourself to be a simpleton. For a fit of idleness, count the tickings of a clock. Do this for one hour, and you will be glad to pull off your coat the next, and work like a negro. For a fit of extravagance and folly, go to the workhouse, or speak with the ragged and wretched inmates of the jail, and you will be convinced, Who makes his bed of briar and thorn, Must be content to lie forlorn. For a fit i)f ambition, go into the churchyard and read gravestones: they will tell you the end of ambition. The grave will soon be your bedchamber, the earth your pillow, corruption your father, and die worm your mother and your sister. For a fit of repining, lo.ok about for the blind, and visit the bedridden, and afflicted, and de ranged, and they will make you ashamed of com plaining of your lighter afflictions. 1 For fits of despondency, look on the good tilings which God has given you in diis world, and at those which lie has promised to his followers in the next. He who goes in his garden to look for cobwebs and spiders, no doubt will find them; while he who looks for a flower, may,return into his house with one blooming in his bosom. 1 or all fits of doubt, perplexity, and fear, whether they respect the body or the mind—whether they are a load to the shoulders, the head, or’ the heart, the following is a radical cure which may be relied on, for I had it from the great Physician: ‘’Cast thy burden on the Lord, and he will sustain thee.” Loafer Logic.— There is one thing as I can't see through, biowed if I can.

Going to law is another word for going to ruin; as few get into courts without getting into debt In rare cases persons go to law from but usually anger, or pride, or some other passion has a°hand in it. Men quarrel about a claim, ot get vexed at not promptly receiving a debt, and with out waiting till their exasperation cools, plunge in to a law suit. We do not know where we have seen a better illustration of this than in the follow ing little story, which is so true to human nature that most persons can see themselves in it aa : in a mirror. :, \ There was a certain lawyer, to whom, oitfj day, a client came in a violent rage. • : “Look a here, Squire,” said he, “that ’ereshoe maker down to Pigeon Cove has gone and sue d me for the money for a pair of boots I owed him.” “Did the boots suit yon?” “Oh yes—l've got 'em on—fust Tate boots.” “ Fair price V' “ Oh yes.” “ Then you owe him the money honestly ? ’ i “Of course.” “ Well, why don’t you pay him,?” “ Why, ’caiMc the blasted snob went and sued me, ' their necessities, are_so inany little .emanations of joy qnd comfort, to him, that he delights-in their pefsoosand society.-— JtrcmyJTaybr, . v -. < I : r :r ; ; -sr©s>6.
