Keep the Heart Light as You Can.
We have always enough to bear.
Wo have always a something to do;
We have never to Beek for care,
When we have the world to get through.
But what though adversity test
The courage and vigor of man,
They get through misfortune the best
Who keep the heart light as they can.
Though there’s always enough to bear,
There is always a something to do ;
We have never to seek for care
When we have the world to get through.
If we shake nob the load from the mind,
Our energy’s suro to be gone ;
We must wrestle with care, or we’U find
Two loads are less easy than one.
To sit in disconsolate mood
In a poor and profitless plan ;
The true heart is never subdued
If we keep it as light as wo can.
Though there’s always enough to bear,
There is always a something to do ;
Wo have never to seok for care
When we have the world to get through !
There’s nothing that sorrow can yield,
Excepting a harvest of pain :
Far better to seek fortune’s field,
And till it and plow it again.
The weight that exertion* can move,
The gloom that decision* may span,
The manhood within but prove ;
Then keep the heart light as you can.
There Is always enough to bear,
There is always a something to do ;
Wo have never to seek for care
When wo have the world to get through !
Ciiarles Swain.
A THRILimG ADVENTURE.
‘ Father will have done the great chim
ney to-night, won’t, ho mother V said
little Tommy Howard, as he stood waiting
for his father’s breakfast whicih he carried
to him at his work every morning.
Mle said that he hoped that all the
soaffolding would be down to-night,’
answered the mother, 4 and that’ll be a
fine sight; for 1 never like the ending of
those great chimneys ; it is so risky for
father to be the last up.’
< Oh, then, but I’ll go and seek him;
and help’m to give a shout afore he comes
down,’ said Turn.
< And then,’ continued the mother, ‘ if
all goes on right, we are to have a frolic
to-morrow, and go into the country, and
take dur dinner, and spend all the day
long in the woods.’
‘Hurrah!’ cried Tom, as he ran off to
his father’s place of work, with a can of
milk in one hand and some bread in the
other. His mother stood at the door,
watching him, as he went merrily whist
ling down the street, and she thought of
the dear father he was going to, and the
dangerous work he was engaged in; and
then her heart sought its sure refuge ; and
she prayed to God to protect and bless her
treasures.
Tom with a light heart pursued his way
to his father, and leaving him his break
fast went to his own work, which was at
some distance. In the evening, on his
way home, he went around to see how his
father was getting on.
James Howard, the father, and a num
ber of other workmen, had been building
one of those lofty chimneys which, in our
manufacturing towns, almost supply the
place of other architectural beauty. The
chimney was of the highest and most
.tapering that had ever been erected, and
as Tom shaded his eyes from the slanting
rays of the setting sun, and looked up in
search of his father, his heart sank within
him at the appalling sight. The scaffold
was almost down, the men at the bottom
were removing the beams and poles. —
Tom’s father stood alone at the top.
He then looked around to see that
everything was right, and then, waving his
hat in the air, the men below answered
him with a long loud cheer, little Tom
shouting as loud as any of them. As
their voices died away, however, they
heard a different sound, a cry of horror
and alarm from above. The men looked
around, and, coiled upon the ground lay
the rope, which before the scaffolding was
removed should have been fastened to the
chimney, for Tom’s father to come down
by. The scaffolding had been taken
down without remembering to take the
rope up. There was a dead silence. They
all knew it was impossible to throw the
rope up high enough to reach the top of
the chimney, or even if possible it would
hardly be safe. They stood in silent dis
may, unable to give any help or think of
any means of safety.
And Tom’s father. He walked round
and round the little circle, the dizzy height
seemed more and more fearful, and the
solid earth further and further from him.
He shut his eyes ; he felt as if the next
moment he must be dashed to pieoes on
the ground below.
The day passed as.industriously as usual
with Tom’s mother at home, fahe was
always busily employed lor her husband
and children in some way or other, and
to-day she had been harder at work than
usual, getting ready for the holiday to
morrow. She had just finished her arrange
ments, and her thoughts were silently
thanking Hod for the happy home, and for
all those blessings, when Tom ran in.
His face was as white as ashes, and he
could hardly get his words out.
‘Why, lad—thy father V asked the
mother.
■ ‘ They have forgot Len to leave him the
rope,’ answered Tom, still soarcely able to
speak. The mother started up horror
struck, and stood for a moment as if para
lyzed, then pressing her hands over her
face, as if to shut out the terrible picture,
and breathing a prayer to God for help,
> she rushed out of the house.
When she reached the place where her
husband was at work, % orowd gathered
around the foot of tho chimney, and stood
quite helpless, gazing up with faces full of
sorrow.
‘ He says he’ll throw himself down.’
‘ Thee munna do that, lad,’ cried the
wife with a clear hopeful voice: ‘ thee
munna do that—wait a bit. Take off thy
stocking, lad, and unravel it, and let down
the thread with a bit of mortar. Dos’t
thou hear me, Jem?’
The man made.a sign of assent; for it
seemed he could not speak—and taking
oft his stocking, unraveled the worsted
yarn, row after row. The people stood
stood around in breathless silence and
suspense, wondering what Tom’s mother
could bb thinking of, and why she sent
him in such haste for the carpenter’s ball
of twine.
1 Let down one end of the thread with a
bit of stone and keep fast hold of the
other’ she cried to her husband. The
thread came waving down the tall chimney,
blown hither and thither by the wind, but
it reached the outstretched hands that
were waiting for it. Tom held the ball of
twine, whilj his mother tied one end of it
to the thread.
‘ Now pull it slowly,’ cried she to her
husband, and she gradually unwound the
string until it reached her husband. Now,
hold the string fast, and pull it up’ cried
she, and the string grew heavy and hard
to pull, for Tom and his mother had
fastened a thick rope to it. They watohed
it gradually and slowly uncoiling from the
ground, and the string was drawn higher.
There was but one coil left. It had
reached the top. Thank God 1 exclaimed
the wife. She hid her face in her hands
in silent prayer, and tremblingly rejoiced.
The iron to which it should be fastened
was ttiere all right—but would her hus
band be able to make use of it 1 Would
not the terror of the past hour have so
unnerved him as to prevent him from
taking the necessary measures, for safety!
She did not know the magical influence
which her few words had exercised over
him. She did not know the strength that,
the sound of her voice, so calm and steal
fast, had filled him —as if the little thread
that carried to him the hope of life once
more, had conveyed to him some portion
of that faith in God, which nothing ever
destroyed or shook in her pure heart. She
did not know that as she waited there, the
words came over him, ‘ Why art thou east
down, 0 my soul, why art thou disquieted
within me 1 hope thou in God. She lifted
her heart to God for hope and strength,
but could do nothing more for her husband,
and her heart turned to God and rested on
him as on a rock.
There was a great' shout, He’s safe,
mother, he’s safe !’ cried Tom. Thou hast
savqd my life, my Mary,’ said her husband,
folding her in his arms.
‘ But what ails you? thou seemest more
sorry than glad about it.’ But Mary
could not speak, and if the strong arm of
her husband had not held her up she
would have fallen to the ground—the
sudden joy after such fear had overoome
her.
‘ Tom let thy mother lean on thy shoul
der,’ said his father, ‘ and we will take her
home.’ And in their happy home they
poured forth thanks to God for his great
goodness, and their happy life together felt
dearer and holier for the peril it had been
in, and the nearness of the danger had
brought them unto God. And the holiday
next day—-was it not a thanksgiving day.
THB CONVICT’S DAUGHTER.
“ X know that all men hato my father;
And therefore, Javan, must his daughter's love —
Her dutiful, her deep, her fervent love —
Make up to his forlorn and desolate heart
The forfeited affections of his kind." — Hjlman.
The following narrative is borrowed
from the interesting work of M. Maurioe
Alboy, on the convict prisons of France :
‘ It is now some years,’ says this writer,
‘ since I passed several months in the
town of Rochefort. It became my daily
habit to walk in tho gloomy avenues of the
public garden, and there I used to watch the
convicts as they worked in pairs, carrying
heavy burdens, and gladly purchasing, by
the performance of the most laborious task,
the favor of being allowed to escape for a
few hours from the pestilential atmosphere
of the prison. I had remarked a young
girl who passed before me several times,
casting an anxious and longing look to
wards the building in which the rope
works were carried on. The young girl
wore the .Vendean costume. She seated
herself upon a bench under the trees, and
remained apparently lost in thought. 1
approached and recognized her. I had
seen her the preceding evening at the
house of the gatekeeper, and had then been
informed of the object of her journey. The
young girl was engaged to be married, and
her father was in the convict prison.—
Eutrope, the peasant to whom she was be
trothed, was acquainted with the guilt of
his future father-in-law, for the same vil
lage had been their home. He was con
sciou> how much he might lose in the
esteem of others by marrying the daughter
of a convict; but Tieunette was beloved,
and Eutrope’s affection for her made him
shut his eyes to the possibility that any
painful result might arise from their
union.
‘He wished to marry the companion of
his childhood; but he desired that this
father, who in the eyes of the law was
dead, who had no longer any right over
his daughter, and whose remembrance it
was well to banish, should no more be
spoken of. Tiennette loved her father,
and the contempt with which others re
garded the author of her days, only re
doubled the fond affection of his daughter.
She was desirous that he should sign her
marriage-contract,'and bestow upon her a
father’s blessing. Eutrope had long resist
ed this wish of Tiennette ; he still object
ed to the step she proposed to take ; and
it was with an unwilling heart he under
took with her the journey to Rochefort.—
Eutrope was a well-looking youth, with
frank and open manners, and of a prepos
sessing appearance. It was not long be
fore he joined us, after making some pur
chases which had detained him for a time
from his betrothed.
‘ I took upon myself to interpret to him
the wishes of Tiennette. I told Eutrope
that a father is never guilty in the eyes of
his daughter; that no laws, judges, or
juries can unloose the ties of nature ; and
that the filial piety of Tiennette ought 10
be considered by him as a precious,pledge
of the virtues of his future wife. The girl
did not speak, but her eyes were fastened
on the countenance of Eutrope. She
watched its every movement, as if to gather
from them his acquiescence in her desire.
Eutrope listened to me with his eyes fixed
upon the ground. - When I had done
speaking, he made me no reply, offered no
objection, but took the arm of Tiennette
within his own, and together the young
couple turned their steps towards the
prison. I followed, them, and the poor
girl, who seemed to consider my presence
as useful in confirming the vacillating res
olutions of her lover, encouraged me by
her looks to remain with them. We found
on our arrival that'the aged conviot had
been ill for some days ; he was no longer

in the prison, but had been oonveyed to
the hospital. We silently traversed the
long court and mounted the staircase.—
When we reached the entrance Of the
wards, the young girl trembled violently,
her cheeks became deadly pale, and her
heart seemed to sink within her. Eutrope
and Tiennette were permitted to approach
the prisoner’s bed, but I was refused ad
mittance by the turnkey, and I could only
see from a distance the remainder of this
touching scene. At the foot of the con
vict’s bed stood Eutrope, whilst Tiennette
approached her father with an expression
of fearfulness which she vainly strove to
conceal. He raised his languid head,
turned his dimmed eye upon his child, and
a faint smile passed over his sunburnt
countenance. The turnkey, who had in
troduced the two young people into the
ward, remained gazing upon the scene ; a
good sister of charity supported the sick
man ; he took the pen which handed him,
him and glanced over the marriage-contract,
which had been prepared beforehand, and
wrote beneath it his disht pored name.—
Then stretching towards Tiennette his
wasted arms, he clasped her to his bosom.
The movement he made in doing so shook
his chain, one link of which rested in the
hand of Eutrope, who looked at it with a
bewildered stare ; whilst another rustled
against the dress of Tiennette whose tears
fell upon the rusty iron. The head of the
dying man soon sunk once more upon his
pillow. Tiennette took advantage of this
-moment to glide her trembling hand fur
tively under the coverlid. The turnkey
had that instant turned to lead the way
out of the room, and the glanoe
she fixed upon him betrayed to me alone
the poor girl’s secret offering to her father.
Eutrope, who seemed ill at ease, made a
sign to Tiennette, and they both went
slowly out, with downcast looks. When
they had reached the foot of the staircase
which led to the wards, the young girl said
to Eutrope, 1 The step which we have now
taken will bring us a blessing.’ They then
entered together the chapel of the civil
hospital, offered up a short prayer, -bade
me farewell, and mounted a little cart,
which bore them back to their native
village.
‘ Yes, God will bless thee, poor maiden,
who didst not forsake the author of thy
days, nor think that his guilt had broken
every tie which subsisted between thee and
him. Thy children will pay to thy virtue
the dutiful homage with which thou hast
not feared to honor a guilty father.—

PHI L A DEL PHIA .
A Benevolent Institution established by special Endow
ment, for the relief of the Sick and Distressed, afflicted
with Tirulent and Epidemic Diseases.
THE HOWARD ASSOCIATION, in view of the awful
destruction of human life caused by Sexual diseases, aou
the deceptions practiced npon the unfortuuste victims of
such diseases by Quacks, several years ago directed their
Consulting Snrgeon, as a CHARITABLE ACT worthy of
their names, to open a DispeD&ary for the treatment of this
class of diseases, in all their forms, and to give MEDICAL
ADYICE GRATIS to all whoapplyby letter, witha descrip
tion of their condition, (age, occupation, habits of life, Ac.)
and in case of extreme poverty, to FURNISH MEDICINES
FREE OF CHARGE. It is needless to add that the Associ
ation commands the highest Medical skill of the age, and
will furnish the most npproved modern tr<p>£A«nt.
The Directors of the Association, in theft 1 Annual Report
npon the treatment ot Sexual Diseases, express the highest
satisfaction with the success which has attended the labors
of their Surgeons In the cure of Spermatorrhoea, Seminal
Weakness, Gonorrhoea, Gleet, Syphilis, the vice of Onanism
er Self Abase, Diseases of the Kidneys and Bladder, Ac.,
and order a continuance of the same plan for the ensuing
year.
The Directors, on a review of the past, feel assured that
their labors in this sphere of benevolent efforts have been
of great benefit to the afflioted, especially to the young, and
they have resolved to devote themselves, with renewed
zeal, to this very important andmnch despised cause.
An admirable Report on Spermatorrhoea, or Seminal
Weakness, the vice of Onanism, Masturbation, or Self-
Abuse, and other diseases of the Sexual organs, by the Con
sulting Sargeon, will be sent by mail (in a sealed envelope)
FREE OF CHARGE, on receipt of TWO STAMPS for post
age. Other Reports and Tracts on the nature and treat
ment of Sexual diseases, diet, Ac., are constantly being
pnblished for gratuitous distribution, and will be sent to
the afflicted. Some of the new remedies and methods of
treatment discovered during the last year, are of great
value.

Park Benjamin, Editor.
•‘A Constellation is but one,
Though ’tis a train of stars.”—Drtden.
The subscriber has great pleasure In announcing that
be has made arrangements to issue on SATURDAY, JAN
UARY 1, 18fi9. the largest, handsomest, and most complete
Weekly Newspaper ever published.
It will be a superb Folio Sheet, double the size of the
New York Ledger! containing Nine broad Columus on each

in all respects A Living Journal— containing the produc
tions of the most popular writers in liberal quantity—
Romances, Stories, Essays, Poems, Anecdotes, Sketches,
Editorials, Notices of Amusements and tho Arts, Ac., Ac.—
in fine, all things which are new, beautiful, interesting,
and attractive. Each Number will contain not only a
carefully condensed Rvnopais of the General News daring
each week, but all the very lutasi information and Tele
graphic Despatches up to the bourof going to press.
“The Constellation” will not be an Illustrated Paper—as
the picture sheets are —but it will contain beautiful Designs
and Engravings, when they really illustrate and ornament
a subject.
The subscriber has already engaged a Corps of Contribu
tors, “a Train of Stars,” unequalled for genius, brilliancy,
and reputation, by those of any other journal now pub
lished. no matter what may be its pretensions. It is with
no alight gratification that he announces his success in
engaging, after mnch persuasion, the able and experienced
services of a gentleman, so long and so justly eminent, as
Mr. Park Benjamin. Connected for twenty years with the
Press of New York City, and always successful iu his liter
ary enterprises, whether as Editor. Author, or Public
Speaker, the name of Mr. Benjamin is an augury of certain
good fortune.
The public may rest assured that no means will be untried
by the subscriber to secure a grand aud brilliant accom
plishment of bis effort to establish the largest and best
Weekly Paper ever published—since nothing will be left
undone that can be done by talentß, capital, experience,
learning, and a resolute perseverance.
“The Constellation” will mainly recommend itself to a
cordial and generous support from the very best people by
its observance of good aud avoidance of evil. It will be an
unobjectionable and perfect Family Newspaper—giving
•offence to no sect or party —the favorite alike of both sexes,
of young and old. The subscriber, having bad nearly a
quarter of a century’s experience in the publication of daily
and weekly journals, and having now connected himself
with such well known and invaluable Editorial aid as he
has herein announced, flatters himself that his new enter
prise will it once achieve a popular favor and success
unparalleled in newspaper enterprises.
Tbeterms for “The Constellation” will bo Two Dollars per
Annum each, when Ten Copies are sent in one envelope to
one address; Twenty-Eight Copies, to one address, Forty-
Nine Dollars; Two Copies, Five Dollars; Five Copies, Twelve

THE NEW AMERICAN CYCLOPEDIA.
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
In response to the numerous calls for the IVth Volume
of the NEW AMERICAN CYCLOPAEDIA, wo beg to state
that it has been delayed by an accidental loss of an impor
tant manuscript in the mails, which had to be replaced.—
It is now PRINTED, and will be issued as soon as the edi
tion of 10,000 copies required by the present subscription
can be bound in the various styles, required by the sub
scribers.
From the Hon. Theophilus Parsons , LL. D., Law Professor
“ Have you room for a word about Ripley and Dana’s
new Cyclopedia? I have trequent occasion to use one;
and I am so delighted with tho two volumes we have that
I must ask you to allow me the relief of saying very sim
ply, what I find them—that is, the very boßt Cyclopedia
for practical use ever published. I have some knowledge
of all in our own language and a iew of those of the conti
nent of Europe. The'best and largest of those surpass this
of Appleton’B in the extent to which they carry out special
dissertations. But this Cyclopaedia is full of tho best mat
ter. By skillful selection and compression, and sedulous
avoidance of mere show and verbiage, room is found for an
immense amount of the latest information, put forth clear
ly, carefully and accurately. The book embodies, and ade
quately represents, the ability and knowledge available at
this day for a work of the kind.
“ Its merit and extreme cheapness must place it eventu
ally in every Library. And if a good word from one who
has found out its excellence by making use of it, can has
ten or extend its diffusion,'Tny purpose in writing this
brief notice will be accomplished.”
THE NEW AMERICAN CYCLOPAEDIA
Will be completed in 15 volumes of 760 pages each,
(SOLD BY SUBSCRIPTION ONLY.)
Price per vol., in cloth, $3; Library style, $3 50 ; half mo

of the opposite sex. It is this fact which induces illiterate
pretenders to try to imitate Her. She shows you theHike

warrants and guarantees the single a happy marriage, and
makes the married happy. Her aid and advice has been
solicited in innumerable instances, and the result has
always been the means of securing a speedy and happy
marriage; she is therefore a sure dependence. She has been
the means of bringing many hundred hearts and hands
together. Thousands of broken hearts have been healed
and made happy by- her.
It is well known to the public at large that she was the

EXPLANATION.
The term AMBROTYPE, by which these Pictures are
designated; is derived from the Greek word JLmbrotos , sig
nifying Indestructibility, permanency, Ac. The Picture is
taken upon plate glass, to which another plate of corres
ponding size is secured with an indestructible cement, by
by whlqh the picture will retain its original brilliancy
for ages; it will not corrode .by acids, nor be Injured by
water or climate. It is bold in its effect, beautiful in tone,
surpasses any thing in the gradations of light and shade,
and may be seen in any light. The public are cautioned
against imitations made on tingle plates of glass, with the
black varnish in immediate contact with the Picture—-
Such are not permanent, as the varnish must crack and
destroy the Picture.
AMBROTYPE STERESCOPES MUST BE BEEN,
to be appreciated—the relief being fully as perfeot as life.
Citizens and Strangers are invited to call at theAmbro
type Gallery of the undersigned, and examine specimens
before they procure Pictures elsewhere, as they are
insured of polite attention,

self of the opportunity to purchase a large- stock of the
most varied assortment of valuable books of every class and

portionably and nnusaally low rates.
Those in want of valuable standard works, for the im
