BENEVOLENT LABOR TES RELIEF OP BORROW.
"Wouldst thou from sorrow finds sweet relief?
Or is . thy heart oppressed with woes untold ?
Balm •wouldst thou •gather for corroding grief ?
Pour blessings round thee like a shower of
gold.
Tis when the rose Is wtapt in many a fold,
Close t 6 its heart the worm is' wasting there
Its life and beauty ,• not when all enrolled.
Leaf a ft er loaf, its bosom rich and fair,
Breathes freely its perfumes throughout the
ambient'air.
"Rouse to.sonie work of high and holy love,
And ihoU an angel's balminess shalt' know—
/Riad bless the earth, whdo in the world above
The good begun by thee shall onward•flow,
Ia many a bracing stream, and wider, grow.
Theseed that in these few and fleeting hours,
Thy hands unsparing and unwearied sow,
Shall deck the grave with amaranthine flowers,
And yield the fruit divine in heaven's immor
tal bowers,"
What would I be
EY W. O. 110811 ER.
What would I be? Not rich in gold,
And with a narrow heart;
Or misanthropic, stern and cold,
Dwell fibril my kind apart.
I would not be a man of war,
Who looks on dellth unmoved—
Give me a title dearer far—
" The welt beloved."
I would not wear a laurel crown,
Its leaves conceal a thorn
Tpo oft the children of renown
frituidless and forlorn. -
Oh I let me lead a blameless life,
• By young and old approved ;
Called, in the world of sin and strife,
"The well beloved."
Qod grant me power to guard the weak,
And sorrow's moaning hush,
And never feel upon my cheek
Dark shame's betraying blush.
A ud when at my Creator's call,
From earth I am removed,
Let friendship 'broider on my pall,
"The well beloved."

GETTYSBURG, 231., FRIDAY

It was very zero day in Lapland— the
air was crisp sod piercing, and the ground

of the travelers.
"Stop nod help him !" said his friend ;
"you will never think of stopping on such
a day as this! We are ball frozen our
selves, and ought to get to our journey's
end as soon - as possibly."
"I cannot leave him to perish," rejoin.
ed the other, and at that ho stopped the
sledge. "Come," said he, "come and help
me to muse him."
"Not L" said the other ; "I have too
much regard fiar wy own life to expose
myself to the air more than I am obliged.
I shall sit here aad keep myself as warm
as I can till von enure back."

Fashionable Women.
Fashion kills more wollien than toil and
sorrow. Obecienco to fashion is a greater
trazsgression of the , laws of woman's na
ture, a greater injury to her physical and
mental constitution, than toe hardships of
poverty and neglect- The alive woman at
her tasks will live and grow old, awl see
two or three generations of her mistresses
paws iwey. The washer-woman. with
scarce it ray of bop, to cheer her in her
toils, will live to scalier fashionable sisters
all die around her. The kitchen maid is
I hearty and strong. whoa her lady has to be
I nursed like a baby. It is a sad truth that
fashiomparnpared women areahnostworth
leili for all the grdiit ends of human life.
They have still feat power of mend will,
and quite as little physitudenergy. They
live fur na great purpose in lifo, they *lc
complish no worthy ends; they. are only
doll forms in the builds of milliners and j I
servants, to be dressed and fed to order
They dress nobody ; they feed nobody ;
they instruct nobOdyi they bless nobody ;
and save nobody. They .write no books;
they set no doh examples of virtue and
womanly life. It tbey rear children, ser
vants sod nurses do h all, save to conceive
and give them birth. And when reared,
what are they I, What do they ever a
mount to, but weaker actions of the old
stock ? Whoever hoard`of a fashionable
woman's child exhibiting any .virtue or
power of Ivied for'which it beNime emi

and good men and. women. Not one of
them, had a ,fashionaWe mother. They;
nearly all sprier from plain, strong-ntini

clouds.
