In hi appetites, easily pra tified, like the simple men of people, antoni whom he lived, every want of rxiMt-nce was supplied by a few fertile nrres. Those acres were tilled and fenced by two brothers prartoV sons of tlie old ninn, and dwellers also in the cottajrc Tlc pareti'sof llw boys lay Iwrieil near by. Nathan, the elder, had hardly seen his twen tieth summer. lie was a beautiful youth, L'lossy hair clustered upon his head, and his chetks were very brown from sttnhine and open air. Thoitnh the eyes of Nathan were soft and liquid, like a .'irl's, and his cheeks curled with a voluptuous swell, exeivise and labor had developed his limbs into noble and manly proportions. The bands of hunters as j tlrey met sometimes to ttart off topether after the patne upon the neiohlmririg hills, could 1 hatdly show one amonp their ntinihrrs who in ermiliiicsF, rtrenrx'h or activity inig'nt cn.npi'le with the youthful Nathan. Mark was but a year yonnjrer than his bro ther. He, too, had great beauty. In course of time the ancient sickened and knew that he was to die. Before the approach of the futal hour, lie called before him the two youths and addressed them thus : The world, my children, is full of deceit. Evil men swarm in every place; and sorrow and disappointment are the frtiitB of intercourse w th them. So wisdom is wary. "And as the things of life are only f-hndows p. sainer like the darkness of a cloud, twine no bands of love about your hearts. For love is the fickleisl of the thinps of life. The object of our affection dies, and we thenceforth lan guish in aniiv; or perhaps the love we covet dies, and that is more painful yet. "It is well never to confide in any man. It is well to keep alooffrom follies and iniquities ofeartlv. Let there bono links between you and others. Let not any beinr control yon throuph your dependence umi him lor a pnr tien of your happiness. This, my sons, I have lenrtud by Oilier experience, is the teaching of truth."' Within a few days afterwards, the old man was pluced away in the marble tomb of his kindred, which was built on the there. Now the injunction oiven to Nathan and his brother injnetions frequently impressed ujhhi them before by the saints uronitoral voice w ere pondered over by each youth in his in- iiiot-t heart. They had always habitually re spected their praudsirc ; w hatever came from his mouth, thereliire seemed as the words of an oracle not to be painsayed. Sum the path ot Nathan chanced to be ai 111- dercd from thut of Murk. And the trees leaved out, and then in autumn cast their folia;'o ; and in course leaved out upuiu, and oiiiii, and ttiany tunes ajaiu and the brothers met not ytt. Two score years and ten! what change works overearth in such a rpace as two scoro years and ten ! As the sun, an hour ere setting, cast lonp slanting shadows, to the eastward, two men, withered, and w ith I. air thin and snowy, Came up from opposite directions and stood together at a tomb built on a hill by the borders of a fair river. Why do they start, an each easts his dim eyes towards the face of the other ! Why do tears drop down their cheeks, and their frames tremble even more than with the feeble ness of age ! They are the long separated brethren, and they enfold themselves in one another's arms 'And yet,' said Mark, after a few moments, stepping hack, and paring earnestly upon bis companion's form and features, 'arti'. yet it wonders ine that Iiom art my brother. There should lie a brave and beautiful youth, with black curls upon bis bead, and not theso pale emblems of decay. And my brother should be straight and nimble not bent and tottering as thou.' The speaker casts a second rearching glance of discontent. And I,' rejoined Nathan, 'I mipht require fr un my brother not such shrivelled limbs as I see, and insteud of that cracked voie, the full swelling music oft morning heart but that half a century is a fearful inciter of comlincs and of ttrenptli ; for half a century it Ss tlear brother, since my liand toirclted thine, or my j gaze rested upon thy face.'' j Mark siphed and answered not. Then, in a little wliilo, tbey niaire inquiries j about what had befallen cither during the time j past. 5eatcd upon the marble by which they bad met, Mark briefly told his story. 'I bethink mt-, brotber, many, many years ! have indeed passed over since the enrrowlul day when our prandsirr, dyinp, lelt us to seek our fortunes amid n wickoil and scdiicive world. 'His last word, as thou doulitKs dost re- memlier, advised via npainst the vnares that ' should beset our ftcbscnucnt jonnieyinps. He ' portrayed the danjers which lie in the path rrt" j love; he impressed upon our minds the folly 1 of placiivp confidence in human honM-; and warned us to Veep aloof from too close a com- mutt inn with our lind. He then died, but his 1 instructions live, and have ever been pTesent ; in my memory j Dear Nathan, why should f conceal from i yo'i that at that time I loved. My fimple soul, ' . , , , .

", entitled "l suluis, bonnets, Nmgs ot I S iduess and 1'ietie :" First. It is a knowledge easily taught and quickly learned when there is a good master anil an apt shular. Secondly. The exercise of singing is delightful to nature, and good to pre-cne the health of man. Thirdly. It doth j-lrcuollieti all parts of the heart, and doth o- j pen the pipes. Fourthly. It is a singular good remedic lor a stuttering and stammering in the speech. Fitllily. It is the best means to preserve;! period pronunciation, and to make, a guild orator. Sixthly. It is the only way to know when Nature hath bestowed a pood voice, which oiil is so rare that there is not one a uiongst a thoiisiud that bath it ; and in many that excellent gift is lort because they want an art to express nature. Seventhly. There is n t anv iimi-oc ot instruments whatsoever Com pilable to tli.it which is made of men' voices, w beu the voices are go.!, and the same well sorted and ordered. Eighthly. The better the voire is, the meeter it is to honor and serve Cud therewith; anil the voice of man is chiefly to be employed to that end. Pirns in Tim Moon.
