Mentz. —1 y Take. for a yo.mg girl who has bee bred delicately in town, shut up in a nursery i her childhood—in a boardi g school through her youth—never accustomed to either air or exercise, two things that the law of God makes essential to health. She marries—her strength is inadequate to the demands upon it. Her beauty fades early, an...her friends lamentingly exclaim : "What a strange Providence, that n, mother should be taken in the midst of life, from her children I" Was it Providence? No! Providence had assigned her three score years and ten—a term long enough to rear her children, and to see . her children's children.; but she did not obey the laws on which life depends, and, of course, she lost it. A father, too, is cut off in the midst of his days. He is a useful and distinguished citizen and eminent in his profession. A general buzz rises on every side of "What a striking Provi dence I" The man has been in the habit of studying half the night, of passing his days in his office and in the courts, of eating luxurious dinners, and drinking wines. He has e cry de ) violated the laws on which health depends.— Did Providence cat him of? The evil rarely ends here. The diseases of the fathers are oft en transmitted, and a feeble mother rarely leaves behind her vigorous children. It has been customary for sonic of our young ladies to wa It in,thin shoes and delicate stock ing.i in mid-winter. A healthy, blooming , young girl, thus dressed in violation of heaven law, pays the penalty, a checked circulation, cold, lever and death. "What a sad Providence!" exclaim her friends. Was it. Providence, or her own folly? A beautiful young bride goesnight after night to parties made in honor of her marriage. She has a slightly sore throat, perhaps, and the weather is inclement; but she must wear her neck and arms bare, for who ever saw a bride in a close evening divas? •She is suddenly seiz ed with inflammation of the lungs,Und the grave receives her before the bridal days are over.— "What a Providence I" exclaims the world, "cut off in the midst of happiness and hopes 1" Alas! did she not cut the thread of life herself? A girl in the country, exposed to our change ful climate, gets a new bonnet, instead of gett ing a - new garment. A rheumatism is the con sequence. Should this girl sit down tranquilly with the idea that Providence has sent the rhea matism upon her, or should she charge it to her own vanity, and avoid the fully in the future? Look at the mass of diseases that are incurr ed by intemperance in eating or drinking, or in study, or in business ; by neglect of exercise, cleanliness and pure air, by indiscreet dressing, tight lacing, &c., quietly imputed to Providence: It is the opinion of those who best understand the physical system, that thei wonderful ma chine, the body, "this goodly temple," should gradually decay, and men die, as few now die, as if falling asleep. - - OF A octril. BY nEn FRIEND SALLIE Think not that God forsakes thee, Though dark seem all thy d tvs. Through storms, perchance, ho takes thee That thou mays't lint his face. For oft when thou receivest His brightest gifts and boot, His loving heart thou grievest, Forgetting who has blest. Alas! we find no leisure To servo Him, till the years Of youth and earthly pleasure Have left us nought but tears. Then, when His hand Ho at yeth, When cars and sickness come, And every hope Ilecilyeth, Then wo would wander name. And still, oli ! love undying ! Ile b do es welcome there, Anl, en Ilk grace relying, 110 find for every care, That balm so pure and healing, The blood our Savior shed, A heao•enly joy revealing, When earthly hopes have fled. Then, dearest friend, let sorrow Lead thee to seek that home, Where dawns a brighter morrow, Beyond this wor d of care ; And, in thy youth and beauty, Give Him thy heart's best love, IA ho toaeheth thee thy duty, And gives thee life above. And think not friends neglect thee. Since grief and itkmble came, oh those will still respect thee Who e'er deserved the name. There's one who has not faltered, Whose friendship, warm and tried, Will still re rain unaltered, Whatever may betide. lisucitancons. Ilow YrovidOnce is Slandzred. Keep the Bove at Home. "Come, Bennie, take your dinner and be off Iv school," said Mrs. Malcolm. "I want to get you out of the way as soon as possible." "But, Mother why can't I come home to din ner?" asked the boy. "I've stayed two days this week already." 'Because, child, I shall have so much to do that I cannot stop to get dinner. The. Ladies' Charitable Society meets here this afternoon, and I cannot have von at home turning every thing upside down t' "Eut I want a better dinner than this," said Bennie, glancing contemptuously at the sweet cake his mother had given him. "Then go to Berry's saloon and get it," said his mother. "Here is some money. Get what you want." Bennie went to school, and spent the interval between sessions nt Berry's saloon. Several boys of a larger growth were there. One save him a glass of ale ; another offered him a cigar, which he attempted to smoke, thus taking the first step in a bad course. These Scenes were repeated sveral times each week, until Bennie Malcohn could drink, swear, and play cards with the lowest inebriate. A few years passed, and one day Bennie was taken home in a state of beastly intoxication ; and that mother, who had been so absorbed in other duties as to forget her obligations to the child Gcd had given her, saw, for the first time, that her child was ruined. Let parents be careful to lmow whc.t places their children visit, and what influences are thrown around them, lest, when it is too late, they mourn over their ()stand ruined manhood. Especially let mothers strive to make home pleasant, never permitting other considerations to weaken their children's love of home, cr send them elsewhere for enjoyment. Better leave more public charities to other hands, than suff er those dear ones already within the reach of our love to wander forth meared for and un. blessed.—Chrivian Banner te...A good old Quaker, on his death-bed called his young son to his bide, and gave him the following sensible advice : "My dear son,l must soon leave thee, but be fore 1 go, give heed to whatl say. I want thee never to use vulgar language, never to swear, never to drink intoxicating liquors, never to steal, and above all never permit thyself to be nominated for office by the Copperhead party, for good people will always abhor and condemn such means of vice and degradation." gerThe latest novelty inthe "feminine line" is patent eye-laahes—now oust& in many fancy city stores. A. horrid old bachelor says that the way things are going now, a man thatneeds a wife will only have to slip into a milliner's chop, purchase a waterfall, ‘plumpers," "false curls," ate., put them together, and have one without ihrther trouble' "I: DAL m: YOU•" "Pool' I I could do it easily, and he back here again before you could count fifty." "May be ea; but you don't dare to try it." "1►.,,' d r,. c / now Tom you know better." "Well, I dare you!" The boy's eves thshed. In a moment he was over the boundary line, skating skillfully over the forbidden ice; while-his schoolmates looked on,—some with astonishment, some with fear, and a few with shouts of applause. Clear to the other side he went, though the ice crack ed and bent :—then with a graceful turn he was coming toward them again, swifter,-swifter,— with a look of pride on his glowing face; and the praises,of the other boys already sounding in his ears. "Good for you, Win 1" "Win by name and win by nature." "Hurrah for—" Who ? where was he ?—where the proud form and face, and the dark hair uncovered in the hour of exultation? Gone? hidden in a moment from their sight, under the ice! and the waters rose up over the spot, as if their time of triumph had comethen. "Oh what shall we do ?" "Run quick I get a rope I" "Stand, back! every one of you 1"---and the voice, generally so kind, frightened them now with its sternness; and they looked in silence at the teacher's white face, as he drew off his white gown, and crept with it to the boundary line which he had marked for the boys that morning. Over that, too, so carefully, yet so quickly :—and the ice eracked,—cracked And the boys could none of them tell just how it was, only that soon the dark, dripping form of their school-mate appeared above the broken ice,—then his body—slowly. slowly dragged to ward 'them, his tand clutching tightly the teacher's dressing gown. The teacher did not speak, and they dared not. In his teacher's own stroll , arms, Win throp was carried to the house, and warmed ane rubbedt—and—no, he was not dead!—for. in few moments, he opened his eyes, and, looking at the gro t i of anxious, boyish faces, gathered around, :MI ; "All right." How it brightened every heart there. The boys could speak now. "Oh ! in! "I liare'nt coainted filly yet !" burst out 'out, excitedly, trying to laugh—but if he had I eeu a boy he would certainly have cried insteA "Now, let the ea all about it," said their teacher calmly, a e color beganto come back into Winthrop cheeks. "It . was all in . fault," said Tom humbly. "How came you dis bey my rule, Winthrop, and go beyond the boundary?" "I hardly thought about the rule,sir; I want ed to let them see I wasn't afraid of the ice ; they dared me to do it, and when any one da• me to do a thing,—" W . n !trop stopped suddenly, as the recollee ton came over him of the cold gurgling waters, end of those few terrible moments of suspense, "Then you always dare to do it ; is that what you mean?" "Yes sir;" but the voice was not as full of confidence as it had been half an hour' before. "And the end of your daring, this time, might have been— feaTh." A shell e.: crept over every boy's heart. "Oh, sir! please don't! I dared him," • said poor Tom. "And so you think a boy is a coward who i, dared to do a thing and doesn't do it ?" "It looks so," answered Winthrop. "Ah, my boy! vou must get rid of that idea: it is all wrong! lie wha refuses to do a sinful or a dangeroes thing, even when people say "1 dare you," is a true hero; and he who runs all risks, to do something, just because he is "dar ed," is by far the most cowardly and foolish ! Don't look so down-hearted, Winthrop; I wan , you to be truly heroic; and I know you can di things very bravely sometimes. For instance, if I should say you may not go skating another day this season—yon would bear the complaint I think." "Yes sir!" answered'the boy, with a touch o. the old pride in his voice. "May'lat•l bear the pun.shment? It was m fan- have'nt given any punishment yet, Tom : I have only given this lesson about true bra very, for von all to learn. And EONV be off, ev ery ono of you, and Winthrop rest, while I go and examine my dressing gown; and if it is en tirely ruined, 111 pass a subscription around among you, lo get a new one I" And the kind man smiled as he left them, but his heart was full; and be went to thank -God for the safety of his pupil, and to pray that he might become truly brave and noble. Boys, never be "dared" into doing what is wrong. .Do not take one side step from the safe and straight path, no matter how many voices say "I dare you!" Be brave enough to say "I dare not," to every temptation. And al. wayS "Dare to be right ! dare to be true I All the world's scorning can never harm yen! Stand by your conscience your honor, your faith ; Stand likg a hero, and ' battle till death!" CHEERFUL WOHEN.-0 if "gloomy women. did but know what comfort there is in a cheer ful spirit I How the heart leaps up to meet n sunshiny face, a merry tongue, an even temper, and a heart ich either naturally, or, what is better, from conscientious principle, has learned to takeMll things on the bright side, believing that the Giver of life being all perfect love, the best offering we can make to him is to enjoy to the full whet he sends of good, and bear what he allows of evil; like a child, who, when once it believes in its father, believes in all his doings' with it, whether it understands them or not. Among the secondary influences which can be employed, either by or upon a naturally anxious or morbid temperament, there is none so ready to hand, or so wholesome, as that so often referred to, constant employment. A very large number of women, particularly young wo• men, ore by nature constitired so exceedingly restless of mind. or with such a strong physical tendency to depression, that they can by no pos sibility keep themselves in a state of even toler able cheerfulness, except by being continally employed.—Miss Muloch. A FACT WORTH PIINTING.—At a second class hotel in Frankfort. Ky., a few days since. a little girl entered the bar room and in pitiful tones told the barkeeper that her mother had sent her to get eight cents. "Eight cents ?" said the barkeeper. "Yes, sir." "What does your mother want of eight cents? I don't owe her anything." "Well," said the child, father spends all his money here for rum, and we have noth'ng eat to-day. Mother wants to buy a boat of bread." A loafer suggested to the barkeeper to kick the brat out. "No:' said the barkeeper, "11l give her the money ; and if her father comes back again, I'll kick him out." Such a circumstance never happened before, and may never happen agar:. Humanity owr fthat barkeeper a vote of thanks. -- - WEDDING ANNITERSARIER.-0110 of our ex- changes gives a full list of commemorative weddings, numbering seven.

A boon Co:noun:cr.—There is nothing .in tho dcriti co nduceth more to the composure and trap of the mind than the serenity and cleailtess of the conscience ; keep but that safe and untainted, the mind will .enjoy a calm and tranquility in the midst of all the storms of the world. And, although the 'waves beat, and the -ea works, and the • winds blow, the mind that bath a quiet and clear conscience within, will be as stable and as safe from perturbation as a rock in the midst of a tempestuous sen,•and will be a Goshen to and within itself when the rest of the world is like an Egypt for plagues and darkness. Whatever thou dost hazard or lose, keep the integrity of thy conscience, both before troubles come and under them: it is a jewel that will mitkethee rich in the midst of pov erty, a snit that will give thee light in the moist of darkness, a fortress that will keep the safe u the greatest danger,and that is never to be take en front thee unless thou thyself shalt betray it, and deliver it up.—Sir 21hithew Hale. THE END OP Setrents.—The leading politi cal orator of England is, we suppose, Mr. John Bright. A friend recently asked him whether his great speeches were delivered without study. His reply was that he usually wrote out on a mil three or four of the principal Subjects or branches of the subject, and walked about his room a little while, fitting them to their proper order. "There is one thing, however," added Mr. Bright, "I always prepare, and that is the end of my speech. 'Before I get up to F:peak,l always know how I am going to leave off, and that is half the art. Many a decent speaker has spoken well for a time, but cannot, while speak ng, hit upon n. few godd sentences with which ito stop, and at last makes a , mess of it, and leaves an unfitvorable impression." THE FAMILY REcotta.---•"The post.office is our village," writes a Vermont lady, "was kept. in the bp..14)4r m of the tavern,—a great resort for loungers. A .. i i old chap, more remarkable for his coarseuess - tra infidelity than his good manners, was sitting t ere one day, with a lot of boon copTinions,wh n the Methodist preach er, a new=comer,.9tmed, and asked for his let tore. Old Swipes asked bluntly, 'Ate you the Meth. odist parson just come here to preach 7' pleasantly replied the minister. 'IVO,' said Swipes, 'Will you tell me how old the devil is?' 'Keep your own family record,' quickly re• turned the preacher, and left the room amidst the roars of the company." A TEMPERANCE MAN.-A master cooper called upon a colored man in Ohio, and wish ed to purchase some stave.timber. He inquir ed for what purpose he wanted it, and received for answer, "1 have contracted so many :phis kep-barrels." "Well, sir,", was the prompt reply, "I have the timber for sale, and want money ; but no man shall purchase a stave from me for that purpose." ' Mr. Cooper was indignant to meet such stern reproach froM a black, and called him a nig sre "That is very true," mildly replied the other, ••it is my misfortune .t: be a negro : I can't help that ; but I en ,, help selling my timber to make whiskepbarre:s, and I mean to du it." Many people do not seem to be aware how important light is to their health. When they Are sick, down go the curtains of their room Ind scarcely a ray of light is admitted. Now his is all wrong. Let the sunlight into a sick •oom. It will do more towards restoring a pa kmt to health than many of the nostrums they ;alp down. Deprive an infant of heaven's free light, and it will only grow into a shapeless idiot, instead of n beautiful, well-formed child., How important, then, is it to let light into roomsdur• ing some inirt of the day. It is just as necessary as ventilation, or the sunshine upon the plant. Disobey nature's laws, and premature death will oe the inevitable result. rED..An Auctioneer was selling 'a library at tuctioo.
