It bent from the cloud and encircled the world.
There are moments, I think, when the spirit resolves
Whole volumes ofthought on Its unwritten leaves;
When the folds of the heart Ina moment unclose,
Like the Innermost leaves from the heart of the rose,
Awl thug when the rainbow has passed from the sky,
The thoughts It awoke were too deep to pass by;
It left my full soul like the w lag of a dove,
All fluttering wlthpleasure, and fluttering with love:
I know that each Tomcat of rapture and pain .
But shortens the linki in life's mystical chafri;
I know that my fdrm, like the bow of the wave,
Must pass from the earth and lie cold in the grave ;
Yet, oh: when death's shadows my bosom uncioud,
Wheel shrink from the thought of ths coffin and shroud,
May hope, like the rainbow, my spirit enfold
In her beautiful pinions of purple and gold.

YOU WILL BE WANTED..
Take courage, young man. What if you are
but en humble and obscure apprentice—a poor,
neglected orphan—ascoff and a byword to the
thoughtless and gay, who despise virtue in rags
because of its tatters. Have you en intelligent
mind, all untutored though it be? Have you a
virtuous aim, a pure desire and an hor4st heart?
Depend upon it one of these days you will be
wanted. '
The time may be long deferred. You may
grow to manhood, and you may even reach your
prime, ere the cill is made, but 'virtuous aim; pure
desires antrbonest hearts are too few and sacred
not to be apprecismd—not to be wanted. -
Your virtues shall not always be hidden—your
poverty shall not always wrap you about as with
a mantle—obscurity shall not always-veil you from
the multitude. Be chivalric in your combat with'
circumstances. Be ever active, however small
may be your sphere of action. It will surely en
large with every movement, and your influence
will have constant increment.
. .
"In the world's broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of life
Be not like dumb driven cattle,
Be a, hers in the strife-"
-Work cn, for surely you will be wanted, and
then comes your reward. Lean upon the sacred
verity, "I have never seen the righteous forsaken.
nor his seed begging bread." Never despair, for
the lives of good men abundantly show that
often when clouds are blackest, sod the tempest is
fiercest, and hope is faintest, a "still small voice"
will be heard saying, "come hither —yonare want
ed," sod all your powers' will find employment.
Therefore; take heart fauns man, for ere long you
wtll be wanted."
TAE LAST WORD
~ The last word" Is the most dangerous of in
fernal machines. Husband and wife should no
more fight to get it, then they would strugglelor
the possemion of a lighted bomb shell. Married
people should study each other's weak points, as
skaters look on t for week parts of the ice, in or
der to keep off them. Ladies who marry for love
should remember that the union of angels with
women has been forbidden since the Florid. The
wile is the sun of the social system. Unless she
attracts, there is nothing to keep heavy bodies like
husbands from flying off into space. The wife
.who would rightly discharge • her duties. must
never have a soul above ''buttons." The liberties
of England have been won by mulaal concess
ions. Let the husband who would acquire the
privilege of asking friends to dinner without
notice, remember this, when. his wife hints et a
nele bonnet. The wife's want is always the
husband's opportunity. Don't trust too much to
good temper when you gat into an argument.
The Indians produce fire by the rubbing of the
driest sticks. Bogor is the substance most gen
erally diffused through all natural products: Let
married people take a hint from this provision of

instruments, arose oo the air, mingling with the
sound of falling fountains playing in their marble
basins, and the merry musical laugh of happy
youths and maidens. Suddenly the doors of the

and the bright light of chandeliers flashes upon
vessels of gold and silver heaped with rich fruits,
luscious wines and delicate viands ; and et the

Intoxicated, entranced and bewitched by the
beauty of the maiden. Herod beckons her to.sp
proach, while murmurs of delight, astonishment
and admiration fill the ball, that Salome, Heron's
own niece. (for it is no other than she,)Would per.
form such an act. Herod 'commend■ silence.
and now the room_ is still and bushed; and the
Tetrarch rising, says to the maiden, even with an
oath, '.ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, even unto
the hell of my kingdom, and 'I will give it thee."
The maiden turns and leaves the apartment,
leaving Herod and his courtiers filled with Dalton
ishment,—but before they half realize what has
passed, the door'opens and the girl again enters.
But now that beautiful face is darkened by a
gloom like that which overspread the brow of the
royal uncle at the commencement of the feast, and
those eyes that beamed so bright, ere flashing
with an unearthly feeling. The color has lied
from the cheek, and the once lovely girl is turned
tote a depraved,' revengeful, fiend—like slave, a

woman. _ •
Oh woman, woman! Thou who wait made to

THE POWER OF LOVE.
The sentiment of love is too frequently made
light of; that which is the most potent agency of
this our earth; that which has been the central
fire of many of those revolution, ja mockingly
ly referred to as it were a subject for trifling, lint
love in woman was . a true meaning. Love in
man is an ennobling pluton ; it is as dew upon
the flowers, as purple drawn upon the sky, as the
quiet anaemic% in the valley, as an orchard re.
splendent with duly blossoms; it is a morning
prayer; it is an evening hymn it is a child
asleep and dreaming of heaven. It may be as a
deluge that spreads around a viewless waste, with
out a dove, olive.branch or rainbow . It may be
as a fruitful field withered with a poisoned wind;
it may be WS a delectable mountain thrown asun
der by the inward fire; it may be as the home
' sickness of the exile; &may be despair; it may
be insanity that 'sings long and low its melan-
chap airs; it may be insanity that laughs aloud
and then expire& - Loire while its object lives in
purity makes a poet of him with whom it dwells
—the ploughboy in the field—the sailor in the
shrouds, has his dreams and glories, he has in
his own way the most passionate imaginings—
it kindles up the dormant fecultles.iei; rouse,
fancy in the stupid—it loosens the tongued the
stammerer—it lends to the moat illiterate speech
and • e k, qu ene..—eepresses sensualitynied tames
even the savage—it gives Joy and fear and hap
piness—it renders even the mean hernia.' and fills
th e m with self-respect. Out of the visions of
youth may have come the flames that have Mim
ed the path to greatness. The captain in his
floating castle, the' general in the tented field,
the magistrate in his duties, may each, if he
will, took back and find in love the impulse that
led him on to power.—tOtsiks' Lecture On Don'
