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.

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.

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
