'Guardian angels, messengers of sweet solace, glorious angel visions, are ever with us, ever around•us ; to our weary spirits they bring peace and joy. And when the heart is filled with pleasure, the bright vis ions floating in the etherial space swiftly 'bear the glad tidings up to heaven on their unseen pinions. When there are wild dark thoughts in our hearts, when we bow our heads in. anguish of spirit, and give way to useless and bitter repinings,ith, then the glorious watchers hasten With smiles of pea s e, and triumph in the right through Him our Redeemer. They are ever hovering around us with noiseless pin ions; they are ever with us, those bright spirits Coming from the portals of heaven, and would not the earth be a weary, sad, darksome place, without them?

There was a poor soul passed last Mon day over the Bridge of Sighs which sui cide has raised over the gulf that separates mortality from eternity. The coroner o ver the body could not follow the forlorn spirit whither it , had gone, but the moralist may; and the picture of that spirit's past is enough to , make the bright angels weep. Perhaps some who stood by the side of the ' bloated, faded, and distorted featureh of the veteran "procures'," viewed the picture in all lights. They may have thought of that body when first a tiny infant—smiling up on pure bosoms, fondled in loving arms, watched with zealous care, growing bright and beautiful and winsome.

His health was drunk. Before the noise was over, he got up, made a mumbling, as if of speaking, spoke nothing, made it bow, and sat down, at which the applause redoubled. though all those immediately about him kneW be nev er said a word, We take the following paragraphs from the Rev. T. El King's letters to the Bos ton Tmnitcript, from the 'sea-shore. It is one of the finest displays of word-painting we have ever seen : The sea had drilled its riotous forces into massive phalanxes and orderly squadrons. In place of the rabble of breakers, billowy batalions wore charging 66 shore. What power, what majestpof motion, what vast beauty of curve and curl I Watch these , rolling undulations in the distance. What , joy of expectation I See thorn heave near er—the liquid valley; deepening, the slopes darkening us they • approach—the forward line pushed on until it mounts for its final blow, whitens or. the ridge, shakes its lift ed threatening edge, bends and flings itself with deliberate fury upon the smothered. groaning shore. The gurgling foam is caught, as it retreats, by the next line. which rides up in greater pomp ; just us it curls, a fresh puff of thAlaud breeze lets loose a mane of mist from its' long array, and like ten thousand horses and horsemen with streaming hair, it rushes with impet uous roar far up the granite ramparts. We' can't keep our hats on while the tbirdrank frowns behind it ; we swing them with wild delight, to see it gather, and rise,, and knit, its forces into a threatening column. a quarter of a mile in length ; and then, we scream impotent cheers as it tumbles its serried thunder, and hurls a mass of briny and bracing fragrance into the air. We exclaimed that it was wrong to have such a•sublitne exhibition for nothing ; and my friend, with enthusiastic waggery, pro posed to throw his note for a hundred dol• tars, at sixty days, into the surf. - How can the splendors of wave-motion that are played off before us be described Y Doubtless it is possible. A Turner in rho- Not to find 1 orio could do, ft, as well us a Stanfield or a Turner iu color. I have no doubt the En glish language has words which can be so artistically ordered by a master, as to re present the curious surges that sweep in pyramids up those small rocky coves.— They do not bend at. the top, and pour out their foam in a crescent 'cataract. They move up with a vast base, and as they near the shore, the creamy surf rolls over the top, or breaks from the side, as from a liquid volcano venting its fleecy lava, and flows down the blue advancing slope, till the rocks break the whole mass into whiteness. On another spot the billows try their skill at architecture. A whole line curls up gradually in exquisite scrolls, such us only gusty snow-storms eau rival ; they coun terfeit fantastic volutes of capitals ; they suggeat, 'in the pale ditneirAio944lWM, graces of ornament, which Corinthian col umns have never upheld in marble. But, it is images of battles, picture's of forming squadrons, chivalrous combat, andl gallant assault, that keep uppermost in the - I mind. Sometimes; as they come careering! on, in joyous strength, wit h flashing plumes, the crowning part of t hecolurun, its knight ly leader to the attack, would be arrested by .a sunken rock, and we would see him reel a moment, and then rise as in his stir rups, and deal a more savage blow at his granite enemy. It is a battle, a war of ages—this contest of the billows and the shore. A drawn battle, too, between the passions of the one and the patience of the other. All that the waters wash from the edges that resist them, displaces its own waves: If the rocks see the surges retreat before thorn on one shore, the sea is gain ing on another coast. A. continent sinks in the pacific, while the valley of the :Via sissippi is lifted above the sea and drained.

"A number of years ago he was Judge of,a newly organized county court, in the eastern part of the State. -In those • days of primitive simplicity, or perhaps poverty, the bar-room of a tavern was used as a court-room, and the stable as a jail. One day, during the session of thecourt the Judge had occasion to reprove two of the lawyers, who were wrangling. An odd looking old customer, who sat in one cor ner, listening, apparently, with great satis faction to the reproof, and presuming on , an 'old 'acquaintance, and the Judge's well-known good humor, sung out—, "Give it to 'em old gimlet-eyes ; !"

STOLEN, FEUIT.-Iti Mr. GUDoing's ‘!Skeiches," a new English book, ho tells this story of Dr. Ogden, Professor of Ge- ()logy :t-- The Doeior had taken a greatfancy to a lad who had been in his servidi three or four years; he was much pleased with his management of a garden which was attach ! ed to his house, and of which he was par ticufarly fond. A cherry tree, which had been planted some time, which should have produced very choice fruit, had on stantly failed. To the doctor's groat de• light it'at last showed signs of bearing, and about a dozen cherries after a while began to assume a temptinjs appearance.— Returning ono day from his ride, he miss ed some of his cherries, and accused the boy, of haying taken them. "I have not touched thlim, ' replied the boy, "as true )as . .God's in heaven," (a very common mode of assertion among inferior people at that time.) "That's a good lad ! sit thee down, and I'll give thee a glass 'of wine, I for thou wouldst not tell me a lie !" Go- 1 ing to a closet, he put a potty strong dose of antimonial wino into a glass, which the boy drank off, and_waa rgauqr:lai'm in caii vorsation. At length the boy was making a hasty ratreat, saying he did not feel well. "Do not quit the room," said the doctor, "sit thee down thou wilt soon be better;" and ringing the bell, ho ordered a jug of warm water, which he administered very freely, at the same time providing a basin. The cherries soon made their appearance, as the Dr. anticipated, to the greateonster nation of the lad. “Whoro's the God in heaven 1" said the doctor. Thou miscre ant ! get thee out of my house I" He quit ted it the same day, but.not till the Doctor had shown him his will, in which he had left him two hundred pounds “We were to poor to pay.” Yes, it was a lovely-spot—that village church-yard I such a one I fancy, as in- spired the "Elegy in the country church yard." Tht4e was less pomp and show than in our city burial places, but what of that?—as Jeremy Taylor says, "we cannot deceive God and nature, for a coffin is a 'coffin, though it bo covered with a sump tuous pall. "•So a grave is a grave, though it be piled ovdr with sculptured marble." Then that little girl! How her image comes up before mo—bending over her brother's grave. I marked her when we entered the spot whore she was kneeling. I approached cautiously—there was some thing so sacred in the picture of a child weeping at a; newly . made grave, that I feared my presence would break the rap ture of her mournful musings. I know not how longl might have stood, apparent. ly rending the rude grave , stones, had not the child rahied her eyes, andr timidly said :—. • "Our little Willie sleeps here: 'We's too poor to got a tombstone; we and the angels know where he lies, and mother says that's, enough:" "Are you not afraid to be here alone I asked. "0, no ; mother is sick, and couldn't come, so she'said 'I mast come and see if the violetS were in bloom yet." •• • ""How old was your brother ?" I asked,, feeling interested , in the child. "'He was only seven years old; and he was so good; and had 'such beautiful eyes; but he couldn't sue a bit." "Indeed 1 Was be blind?" "ou seete was sick° a long time; yet his eyes were 'blue and bright as blue skies with stars in 'ern -and we did .not kaow he was getting blind, until one day I brought him a pretty rose, and. ho asked : " , le it a white row, D6ra ?' " you see it, darling ?' asked mother." No, I cannot see anything. I wish you would . open the window, it is so dark.' "Then we knew that poor little Willie was blind; but ho lived a lung time' after that, and used to put his dear little hand on our faces to feel if we were - Crying, and tell us not to cry, for he could see' God, and heaven, and the angels.. 'Then never mind, mother and Dora,' he'd say, see you too, when you go away from this dark place."' . 4 so one day be closed his eyes and fell asleep, and mother said he was asleep in Jesus. Then we 'brought . him here, and buried him ; and though we're too poor to get a tombstone, yet we can plant flowers on his little grave, and nobody'll trouble them, I know, whet they learn that our tulle Willie sleeps ' , Zeal without knowledge, is like haste to a man in the dark.

Upon both' of them the letters 'G. W. were engraved, or rather cut. The seals he wore as early as 1754, and that day he ` loot the 'silver seal. The gold one remained with the general until the day of his dmth, and was then given by him to his neritew, d gen tleman of Virginia, who careldly „reserv ed it until about seventeen years ago, when in riding over his farm; he dropped it, and could never recover iti The.other day, the gold seal, lost seventeen years a go, was ploughed up, recognied front the letters 'G.
