THE FUTURE MAKES ALL RIGHT From the centre of creation, To where 'tie lost in apace, There is a law of compensation That.pervadeth every place; That reaches every human heart, In accents' sweet and light, Or thunders, as the guilty start— " The future makes all right." Though wrong may rear its horrid form, Though innocence may weep, While mercy flies, amidst the storm, And justice seems to sleep ; Though darkness spreads its sombre fold, And earth be veiled in night, The sun will gild the east with gold— " The future makes all right." All nature, with emphatic speech, Since chaos ceased to reign, ~ .Lias sought mankind this truth to teach, But sought, alas ! in vain ; While history turns its teeming page To man's and nations' sight, And still cries out, from ago to age— " The future makes all right." There ne'er has been an evil deed, - Or governmental crime, That did not retribution speed, And was avenged by time; And low and high, and small and great, In poverty, or might, Have lived to learn, though oft too late— " The future makes all right." Call empires from the misty past, Assyrian and Greek ; Bid Rome resume its limits vast, And let their voices speak; They'll own that, spite of present power, Of seeming triumph spite, The reign of wrong is but an hour— " The future makes all right.". And think not e'en the guiltiest thing Is dead to human weal, Or lost to conscience, or its sting— It may bo forced to feel! The crimson hand may grasp the bowl, The murderer's oye be bright, E'en when the whisper frights his soul— " The future makes all right." As from the couch whereon ho lies, The miscreant will start, The vengeful worm that never dies Keeps gnawing at his heart! ".I.is then, while spectral shadows rise, Lie cowers 'neath the blight, And seems to hear, from earth and skies— " The future makes all right." Then who shall dare avow the creed Eternal goodness scorns— That innocence must ever bleed, While virtue treads on thorns'. That hope, to dry affliction's tears, Ne'er checks its o❑ward flight, Or murmurs in its listless ears— " The future makes all right ?" There is a joy, which, midst all joy, Sits crowned upon a throne; The only one without alloy— .f.t springs from duty done; And he, whose throbbing bosom glows With this supreme delight, Does more than dream, he sees and know The future makes all right." BY AND BY. There's a little mischief maker That is stealing half our bliss, Sketching pictures in a dreamland, Which are never seen in this; Dashing from our lips the pleasure Of the present while we sign— You may know this mischief maker, For his name is "By and by." He is sitting by our hearth stones, With his sly bewitching glance, Whispering of the comi❑g morrow, As the social hours advance; Loitering 'mid our calm reflections, Hiding forms of beauty nigh, He's a smooth, deceitful fellow, This enchanter, "By and by." You may know him by his mincing, By his careless, sportive air, By his sly, obtrusivetpresence That is straying everywhere ; By 'the trophies which he gathers, Where his cheated victims lie, For a bold, determined fellow Is the conqueror, " By and by." When the calls of duty haunt us, And the present seems to be All-of time that ever mortals Snatch from long eternity; Then a fairy hand seems painting Pictures on a distant sky, For a cunning little artist Is the fairy, " By and by." "By and by " the wind is singing, " By and by " the heart replies, But the phantom just before us, Bre we grasp it, ever flies. I..det, not to the idle charmer, Scorn the very specious lie ; Only in the fancy liveth This deceiver, " By and by." THE AMBIIIOUS FRIEND. BY E. ANNA RAWSON One pleasant June evening, we were walking together, my friend Philip Lead: and myself. We had entered the semin ary together ; and I, naturally sensitive and shy, looked upon the proud, talented Philip with great respect, and was proud to feel myself patronized by him. He seemed unusually thoughtful as we strolled along the country road; and when he spoke, it was with a quiet determination I had never seen before. , Which is stronger in you, David, am bition or love P I laughed at the question. Did you ever suppose, Philip, that I was ambitious 1' ' I fancy so. Shy as you are, there's something beneath the exterior. But, David, ambition and love have been rival in my nature ; but now ambition has over come.' ' What do you mean 2 ' I inquired. tell you. You know Carrie Hall ' Well, about six months ago I asked her a certain question, and she said' Yes." I congratulate you—' Wait till lam through. And I have been thinking that it was a foolish step, and that I must break the engagement.' Why must you?' 1 asked. Because lam poor and ambitious. I atp to be a lawyer, you know, and I must be in college for four years, and read law two more before I can begin life. Now, if I burden myself with a wife, poor as I am, I cannot get on ; and so I must quit Carrie. Do you mean that, Philip r I exclaim ed, overcoming the magnetism I usually felt in his presence.' I do,' he replied ; my friends tell me that I have talents, and I believe that I shall yet make my mark in the world ; and to do that must be the ono aim of my existence.' Bat, my extremely modest friend, have you ceased to care for Carrie ?' No,' he exclaimed. ' I love her as well as ever. I remember well the first time I saw her,' he went on, in a musing tone. She was bending over her mother's coffin, I believe. I could have wept with her, so lovely did she look in grief. lam sorry far her ; but I - have wed ambition, alutoantiot take another, bride.' Philip Leeds,' I said, pausing and lay ing niyypiid . npon hie arm, let me warn youitganitethis rash deed'i :do Tlcit stroy the peace of a confiding girl. Car rie will wait for you, and with such a prize in view you will study all the better.-- Love will not impede your progress, be lieve me.' Do you speak from experience ?' he asked, with a smile. No ; from common sense,' I replied. Or rather from sensitive feeling,' he added. I fancy, David,' he continued, that Carrie would suit you better than myself. Well, after to-morrow night she will be free for you to win. But, excuse me, I have an engagement. I shall be in my room at the usual time.' Here he left me, and I sauntered back to the seminary, thinking of Carrie Hall, and wondering how her woman's heart would bear the stroke that was impending. I knew that the beautiful, graceful woman, that in four years she would become, would do honor to as proud a collegian as Philip promised to be. Deeply as I pitied Carrie, I felt that he would be the greater sufferer ; for I knew that hOwever success ful he might be in the world, it cou:d never give him the wealth of her true, loving heart. I did not see Philip the next day after study hours. He seemed to avoid me.— He was absent during the evening, and, as we roomed together, I determined to await his return. Nine o'clock came, and I was fast beginning to hope that he was spending a true lover's evening, when I heard his step in the hall. I had retired, and feigned sleep as he entered. He walked with his usual proud, 'energetic tread ; but, as I glanced furtively at him, I saw that his face was pale and haggard. His hand trembled, too, as he set down the light. He then took a packet of let ters from his pocket, and locked them in a small trunk. I sighed, and went to sleep. Philip was now wholly devoted to his. studies. He seldom walked for 'exercise, and hardly noticed the amusements of the play-ground. One night, about a month after his abandonment of Carrie, I learned that she was dangerously ill of fever. I went im mediately to my room, where Philip was engaged with his Euclid. S'7.), Philip,' I said, ' it seems Carrie Hall has found a bridegroom who will prove more faithful than you were.' Whom" he asked, starting nervously. Death,' I answered. I was watching him closely, and I saw that in spite of his self command his color changed, and the book he held trembled in his grasp. What do you mean ?' he asked, almost fiercely. Dr. Saunders says she cannot live through the day. She is dying of a broken heart, 1 suppose,' I added, in an undertone. Just then the tones of the village bell rang out on the summer air. There, the bell is tolling. It must be for tier,' I said, and I leaned out of the window to catch the sound. The sun was just setting, a fit emblem of the young life gone out into the dim beyond. Seventeen,' I said, as the bell ceased tolling. Poor Carrie, she is gone.— Philip,' I continued, turning to him, Ido not say that your treatment of Carrie has caused her death, but it seems to me that if you had acted a manly part towards her,.you would have less to reproach your self with now.' Do not talk to me,' he replied, I can not bear it ;' and, rising from his seat, he hastily :vent out into the night. The school attended Carrie's funeral.— She had been a member only a short time before, and with sad hearts we followed her to her narrow home. Curious eyes watched Philip besides mine, for many knew of the tender relation existing be tween them, though few knew how rudely it had been sundered. As a member of the senior class, he walked nearest the coffin ; but his proud, calm face betrayed no sign of emotion. Only once did he k , exhibit any fe - ' ; when Carrie's father was led totter rem the grave, his eyes filled with tears; nd he turned and walked hastily away. He was gone the next week. He was not well, he said. I be lieved him, for 1 felt that he Was heart sick. He came back soon, however, and went on with his studies in the old way. The end of the term came at length, and Philip pronounced the valedictory.— Many were the admiring eyes bent upon his graceful figure, and flattering the com pliments bestowed upon his eloquent ad dress. I was in my room, cording my trunk, a few hours later, when he came hastily in. , Well, Dave, old boy, I'm off,' he ex claimed. 'We have seen the last of study hours here. Now, remember, when I um President, I shall make you Secretary of State.' Thank you, Philip. But take care you don't get dizzy up so high in the world. Success to you.' Always croaking. But there's the stage. Good,bye.' fechoed his good bye, and then he hur ried away. It was several years before we again met. Meanwhile I learned that he had graduated from college with high honors, and was studying law with a distinguished barrister. On a sultry summer afternoon, I was sitting on the back piazza of a hotel in Saratoga, when a hand placed lightly upon my shoulder caused me to turn. Philip Leeds !' I exclaimed, is it pos sible you are here 1' My clear fellow '—he was as cordial and friendly as ever—' do you suppose no one has a right to a holiday but yourself 'How long a time is it since we met ?' he continued, seating himself beside me. Not since school days,' I said. ' How has the world used you, Philip ?' Oh ! so, so,' he replied, with a light laugh. I need not ask you the question. Rumor says you will one day be a sue ' cessful author. Ah ! Leland, I used to tell you that you were ambitious in your quiet way.' And you,' I rejoined, <I suppose am bition is still your guiding star < Why, yes, I suppose it is,' and he smiled, curiously. < Life is a kind of lot tery, after all, Leland.' That (Lisp% imply that you have drawn a blank, does it I' Why, no, I haven't drawn anything as yet. I have just entered upon the prac tice of the law; but I feel as .though my tickets may be blanks or prizes: . ; g Then you are not as sanguine as you used to be as to success ?' Of course, not. You do not think "THAT 001TITTRY 7B TEM MOST PROBEIRCTI3 WEISZ LABOR 0011:111ARD8 TEI GRIATIBT RXWABD2.I-BI7OEAEMr, LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 25, 1863. that school boy dreams last forever, do you V But you are as determined as then, are you not V g Yes,' he exclaimed, and his dark eye flashed. What do you suppose lam here for, Leland ?' For pleasure, I presume,' I replied, knocking the ashes off my cigar. Pooh!' Wife hunting I continued, raising my eyes curiously. Well, yes,' he replied,-frankly. I am dancing attendance upon a lady here whom I should be glad to win.' She must be 11, paragon.' She is,' he replied, in a low, d,eep tone ; and besides, she is the daughter of a leading lawyer who eau advance me greatly. My union with her would be a sure stepping stone to success. Indeed, and does the lady favor you ?' That's more than I know ; sometimes I think so. However, I mean to ascertain soon. There she is,' he continued, as a party of ladies came up the steps. He left me as he spoke and walked towards them. His marked preference to one of the number indicated the object of his pursuit. She was a proud, imperious girl, 1 knew from her manner, and I con cluded, from the few glances I oast upon her, that she knew well her worth in the matrimonial market. The party soon after approached the place where I was sitting. Mr. Leland,' said my friend, 6 I have the honor of presenting you to Miss Cameron.' aruse and bowed low. • She extended the tips of her fingers to • me, and ex pressed herself much pleased in meeting a friend of Mr. Leed's. Her "words, and the air of condescension with which she received his attentions, confirmed me in the belief that he was a favored lover. Lucky fellow !' thought I, as they moved away. Regally beautiful looked Miss Cameron, that night, at the hop, as she entered leaning on the arm of Philip Leeds. A handsome couple was the general verdict of the assembly. Ido not know what she wore that evening. I know the effect was bewitching. I could not stop to think of detail. She haughtily accepted the at tentions of the gentlemen who hovered around her, but showed a marked prefer ence for Philip. The seat he offered was accepted with the most evident pleasure ; the compliments he whispered most smil ingly received ; and Philip's usual calm, proud features glowed with triumph. I looked on, a quiet observer of the scene. Beauty and talent were well represented in the dance ; but the observed of all ob servers were Philip and Miss Cameron. And yet it seemed to me, as I watched them, that pride was the distinguished characteristic of both. Philip was proud of his talents and of the position which through them he had acquired, and proud of the new conquest of beauty and wealth he had evidently won. As for Miss Cameron, I felt that she was, as another has expressed it, e proud of her pride.' I turned away from the glittering scene, and sauntered out upon the piazza and down the avenue. The moon was crowning with her silver light the glory of the sum mer evening. Here and there parties of ladies and gentlemen were walking to and fro, enjoying the beauty and coolness of the summer night. LeaVing them I passed on, and throwing myself upon a settee lit a cigar, and watched the smoke as it curled upwards, thinking meanwhile that it was not more evanescent than the fashions and follies of the pleasure-loving crowd I had left. Soon I heard voices near me. At first I did not heed them, but at length I distinguished the clear tones of Philip, saying : So, Miss Cameron, the tacit encourage ment you have given me has been what in modern parlance is termed a flirtation ?' Really, sir,' was the reply, think you attach undue importance to the liberty I have accorded you, in common with other gentlemen, to attend me when it was your pleasure to do so.' In that case, Miss Cameron, since I have had the honor of adding another laurel to your conquests, shall I escort you again to the ball room ?' She evidently assented, as they•moved away in an opposite direction. My surprise was nearly as great Philip's must have been at what those few words revealed. She had refused him, then, after alluring him to a profession of his attachment. From the present my mind wandered to the past—to the low grave where Carrie Hall was sleeping. eOh ! Carrie,' I thought, one of your own sex has unwittingly avenged you.' I did not see Philip the next morning, although he had promised to drive me. At noon a note was handed me from him. It ran thus : DAVID—That ticket was a blank. Miss Cameron declines the honor of my hand. Saratoga has henceforth no attraction for me. I leave for New York this morning. I hope to meet yon there in the fall. Meanwhile, good bye. Circumstances prevented me from meet ing him again for many long years. Time had thrown the foregoing events into the background of memory, when one day, traveling on a western railroad, my attention was attracted by an individual who entered the car at one of the stations. I thought I had seen him before, but where I could not tell.. His hair was iron gray, and his form somewhat bent. The lines around the mouth were sharply I drawn, and his keen, dark p yes seemed to cast a suspicious glance on his fellow travelers. His reserved manner prevented me from addressing any casual remark to I him, but I watched him carefully. At the next station he left the car, and I saw him walk away into the town. An acquaintance I of mine entered the cars, as they moved c e , and seated himself beside me. Do you know that man ?' I asked, pointing to the receding figure. Yes that is Leeds, the lawyer in D—.' What is his first name Philip, I think. Do you know him 'P g I once knew a Philip Leeds, and pre sume that is the same one. What kind of a man is he V Well,' he replied, smiling, he is a lawyer, and a hard one, too.' Is he wealthy V Yes, he has made money. Anything to get property ' has been his motto, I be lieve. He was run once for representative to gongress ; but his reputation as a close fisted lawyer was, such that our western *mei% would not eleot him,' Is he married V No ; he is too close to allow himself such a luxury as a wife. He is always grumbling at the high prices of boarding houses.' And this,' I thought, s is the onde generous, gifted Philip Leeds. Endowed with genius that should have made him a noble and gifted man, he has labored for self alone, and verily he has his re ward.' At that moment I felt glad that gentle Carrie Hall, instead of becoming the wife of Philip Leeds, had gone in the bright= nese and beauty of her youth, with a heart pure and unsullied, to that distant land where change and disappointment may never blight the trusting spirit.

The country is safe—my child be happy !' And he took her. THE END I DON'T LIKE MY BUSINESS.'—There is no greater fillacy in the world than that entertained by many young men that some pursuit in life can be found wholly suited to their tastes, whims and fancies. This philosopher's stone can never be dis covered, and every one who makes his life a search for it will be ruined. Much truth `s contained in the Irishman's remark :- 4 It is never aisy to work hard.' Let, there fore, the fact be always be remembered by the young that no life work can be ehtire ly agreeable to man. Success always lies at the top of a bill; if we would reach it, we can do so only by hard persevering ef fort, while beset with difficulties of every kind. Genius counts nothing in the battle of life ; determined, obstinate perseverance in one single channel is everything.— Hence, should any one of our readers be debating in his mind a change of business, imagining he has a genius for some other, let him at once dismiss the thought as he would a temptation to do evil. If you think you made a mistake in choosing the pursuit or profession you did, don't make another by leaving it. Spend all your en ergies in working for and clinging to it as you would to the life-boat that sustained you in the midst of the ocean. If you leave it is almost certain you will go down, but if you cling to it, informing yourself about it till you are its master, bending your every energy to the work, success is certain. Good, hard, honest effort, stead ily persevered in, will make your love for your business or profession grow ; since no one should expect to reach a period when he can feel that his life-work is just the one he could have done best and would have liked best. We are allowed to see and feel the roughness in our pathway, but none in others ; yet all have them.—Hunt's ,Merchants .Magazine. WHAT- WE OWE TO DEOORIDI.-‘ I Will do just as I please,' says many a head strong young man, for whose business is it, if I choose to take the consequences V Not so fast, good sir. If you knew more of human nature you would be aware that you cannot outrage even the smallest con ventionalities of life, which are known under the common name of decorum, with out .losing your reputation, estranging yCur frietds, and preventing strangers, who might be useful to you, from making your acquaintance. Bat this is not all. You htive no right to disregard decorum, for the consequences reach others than your self. Your example is always doing harm when it is not doing good. Your conduct affects the standing of your family associ ates, as well as yourself. Going through life is like treading among a labyrinth of spring guns. If you follow the beaten track yon are yourself safe. But if you diyerge to the right or left, your indiscre tion is sure to injure yourself, and may harm others also. A wise man never out rages decorum, recklessly Violates preju dices, or thoughtlessly ants regardless of the opinions of the world. 117 - A Chinese widow being found fan ning the grave of her husband, was asked why she performed the singular operation. She said she had promised not to marry again while the grave remained damp, and that as it dried very slowly, she saw no harm in assisting the proem. " You're Too Late." Early one morning there were added to a company of travellers a pair who looked very much like runaways—the gentleman. a tall, raw-boned specimen of the half horse, half-alligator' class, and the lady a fair match for him. Among the passen gers from Napoleon, Arkanas, was a sol emn-looking gentleman who had all along been taken for a preacher. About nine o'clock, one night, I was conversing with the reverend' individual, when a young man stepped up, and, addressing him, re marked— We're going to have a wedding, and would like to have you officiate.' All right, sir,' he replied, laughingly. • We stepped into the ladies' cabin, when, sure enough, there the couple stood wait ing. There had been several t kissing games,' and several mook marriages gone through with during the evening, and I supposed that this was merely a continua tion of the sport; and so thought the preacher,' who, I could see, had a good deal of humor in him, and was inclined to promote general good feeling and merri ment. The couple stood up before him— a good deal more solemn than was neces sary in a mock marriage, I thought—and the 4 preacher' asked the necessary ques tions, and then, proceeding in the usual way, announced them husband and wife.' There was a good deal of fun afterward, and when it was over I left the cabin, and so did the preacher,' who remarked to me that he liked to see the young folks en joying themselves, and took a good deal of pleasure in contributing to their fun, but he did not understand why they se lected him to act the preacher. Just then some one called me aside, and the old gentleman stepped into his state-room, which was next to mine. When 1 return ed, the door was open, and the preacher' stood just inside with his coat and vest off, and one boot in his hand, talking with the gentleman who had played the attend ant,' and who, as I came up, remarked : Well, if that's the case, it is a good joke, for they are in dead earnest, and have, gone to the same state-room.' The old gentleman raised both hands, as h- exclaimed— Good heavens ! you don't tell us so !' and rushing just as he was, boot in hand, to the state-room indicated, commenced an assault on the door, as if he would break it down, exclaiming at each lick— , For heaven's sake, don't. I ain't a preacher.' The whole cabin was aroused, every door flying open with a slam, when the door opened, and the Arkansas traveller,' poking out his head, coolly remarked— ' Old boss, you're too late!' DREAM OF A QUAKER L DY.—Thero is a beautiful story told of a pious old Qua ker lady who was addicted to smoking to bacco. She indulged in this habit until it had increased so much upon her, that she not only smoked her pipe a large por tion of the day, but frequently sat up in her bed for this purpose in the night.-- After one of these nocturnal entertain ments she fell asleep and dreamed that she died, and approached heaven. Meeting an angel, she asked him if her name was written in the book of life. He disappear ed, but replied upon returning, that he could not find it. !' she said, do look again it must be there.' He examined` again but returned with a sorrowful face saying, it is not there.' Oh !' said she, in agony, it must be there, I have the assu rance it is there !' Do, look again. The angel was moved to tears by her entrea ties, and again left her to renew his search. After a long absence he came back his face radiant with joy exclaimed, We have found it, but it was so clouded with tobac co smoke that we could hardly see it ! The woman, upon waking, immediately threw her pipe away, and never indulged in smoking again. WE BELIEVE IN FORTUNE-TELLING.- ( Do you believe in fortune-telling?' asks a young correspondent. Yes, certainly, and practice it too. Would ou like to have I a few trials of our skill 1 Well, then give attention. When a boy, with black eyes and hair, always tells the truth, he will be believed 'and respected as long as he lives ; and as people would prefer to keep him alive, he will stand a good chance to arrive at old age; A. girl, with brown hair and blue eyes, who obeys her parents, is good tempered and industrious, will have many admirers, particularly among sensible men, and she will, therefore, be in the way of getting a good husband. If a small boy, with white hair and gray eyes, will learn all he can from his books and observation, will practice what he learns, thinks for himself and work with energy, he may be come both healthy and wise. If a girl with rosy cheeks and curly hair will avoid late hours, tight dresses, too many nice things to eat, will take plenty of exercise in the open air, and keep good natured she will probably be a good-looking and happy lady, and if she obtains a good education, she will bo a fit wife for a governor or president. In all these oases the hair and eyes are of no great importance, but the other requisitions must be strictly observed to have the good fortune come out right. There, that kind of fortune-telling is worth more than all the gypsies, seventh sons, wise women, astrologers and soothsayers could tell you from the time of the Witch of Ender down to the year 2000. If you have any doubts on the subject, try follow ing our directions and see if We be not true fortune-tellers.—.thnericalt .figriculturist. INFLITENCE OF MOTHERS.—John Ran dolph never ceased, till his dying day, to remember, with unutterable affection, the pious care of his mother in teaching him to kneel at her side, and with his little hands pressed together, and raised up wards to repeat in slow and measured 'ac cent, the pattern 'prayer. cMv mother,' said Mr. Benton, not long before he died; asked me not to drink liquor, and I never did. She de sired me at another time to avoid gaming, and I never knew a card. She hoped I would never use tobacco, and it never passed my lips' ' All that Leigh Richmond was, he at tributed to the simplicity and propriety with which his mother endeavved to win his attention, and store his mdmory with religious truths, when yet almost an in fant. Oh ! if Christian mothers would but wake• up to the use of their powers and their influences, a Samuel might rise out of every family, and Leigh Rjehmondis be numbered by the thousands. A BEAtriu ITL SENTISTENT. —Shortly after the departure of the lamented Heber for India, he preached a sermon which contained this beautiful illustration : Life bears us on like the stream of a mighty river, Our boat at first glides down the narrow channel—through the playful murmurings of the little brook and the windings of its grassy borders.— The trees shed their blossoms over our young heads, the flowers seem to offer themselves to the young, hands ; we are happy in hope, and grasp eagerly at the beauty around us—but the stream hurries on, and still our hands are empty. Our course in youth and manhood is along a wilder and deeper flood, amid objects more striking and magnificent. We are animated at the moving pictures and en joyments and industry around us ; we are excited at some short lived disappoint ment. The stream bears us on, and our joys and griefs are alike left behind us.— We may be shipwrecked, but we cannot be delayed ; whether rough or smooth, the river hastens to its home, till the roar of the ocean is in our ears, and the tossing of the waves is beneath our feet, and the flooods are lifted up around us, and we take our leave of earth and its inhabi tants, until of our future voyage there is 'no witness save the Indefinite and Eter nal.' GROWTH OE TIMBER.-It is a singular fact what were vast treeless prairies in Il linois, twelve years ago, are now covered with a dense growth of thrifty young forest trees, comprising various species of oak, hickory, cotton wood, ash, &c. So rapid has been the change in many localities, that where some of the early settlers loca ted, 20 to 25 years ago, without a tree around them, they can now out and hew good building timber a foot square. Prairie land, when kept from the annual fall burn ing formerly practiced by the Indiass, rap idly produces a growth of , trees. Some of the old citizens, who greedily located the timber land when they came to this coun try and were careless about acquiring prairie,now esteem the latter of more value than the former. Their timber has grown faster than they use it. A BIG JUMP.—OId Squire W. is an honest jovial soul, with religious scruples —fond of a hearty laugh or a good joke at any time. lie relates the following as an actual occurence : One night, boys, I had a strange dream. I felt I was about got to heaven. A long ladder like Jacob's reach ed from the ground to the good place' and it was this ladder I went up. When I reached the top, I found a space seven or eight feet intervening between the last round and the celestial grave. I could see within, and catch glimpses of the fine things inside. Peter stood at the entrance he leaned, reached out his hand and told me to make a big jump. I did jump and got one of the d--dst falls you ever heard of—for I found myself sprawling on the floor, havidg jumped out of bed while I was trying tn jump into heavon.

The preservation on the letter itself of the POST-MARK and POSTAGE-STAMP, generally destroyed with the de. tached cover, nee long been deemed a matter of the first Importance. This desideratum is now triumphantly secured by this Ingenious invention. Many obvious advantages must arise from the general nee of -this envelope. First—lncreased Safety by additional sealing; the stamp connecting the envelope and letter securely together • and this Is never liable to be omitted, though the sticking of the flop is frequently neglected or imperfectly done. Second—Security against Impertinent Intrusion • the letter and envelope being firmly attached by the stimps, and inclosure cannot be inspected even if the flap be clan destinely opened. Third—Safety against Abstraction of Valuable Inclo sures. If the flap be left unsealed, or opened with feloni ous Intent, it will be impossible to open the letter and take thence bank notes and drafts without so mutilating the envelope es to insure detection. .Flntrth—Security for the free payment of the Postage; as the stamp, when once properly placed in this window, cannot be removed without its destruction. It:fin—Advantage therefore to the Government; by the effectual destruction of every stamp in its first use. Sisth—Facility to the Post Office Dperatione; by a Ur& form location of the stamp in the upper right hand corner, which is the most convenient position for the Poet CClos mark. Seventh—Verificatlon of the. Mailing; by securing on the letter itself the legal evidence of the time and place of It befog mailed. This has long been esteemed so deeirable, that many prudent persons are eonstrained to (lisp/nee with the use of envelopes ; that they may have the poet mark on the letter; and others take the precaution to pin the envelope again on the letter for Identification. Eighth—Certainty of the Date and Place on the Letter, which are so frequently omitted by writers In oarelesanese or hurry. Ninth--Ornamentation• which, though some may think of smell Importance, certainly meets the approval of all persons of taste. Tenth—Cost. Notwithstanding the many and unrivalled advantages df the •" Stamp sealing Envelopes," they will be furnished at a very small advance upon the prioes of those not having the benefit of this patent.
