How wild and dim this life appears! One long deep heavy sigh, When before our eyes, half closed in tears, 'The images of former years Are faintly gliding by ! And still forgotten while they go ! As on the sea beach, wave on wave Dissolves at once in snow. - The amber clouds one moment lie, Then, like a dream, are gone ! 'Though beautiful the moonbeams play On the lake's bosom, bright as they, And the soul intensely loves their stay, Soon as the radiance melts away, We scarce believe it shone ! Heaven-airs amid the harp-strings dwell; And we wish they 'never may fade:— They cease—and the soul is a silent cell, Where music never played ! Dreams follow dreams, through the long night hours, • Each lovelier than the last; But, ere the breath of morning flowers, That gorgeous world flies past ! And many a sweet angelic cheek, - Whose smiles of love and fondness speak, Glides by us on the earth : While in a day we cannot tell, 'Where shone the face we loved so well, In sadness, or in mirth. THE HE ART' S GUEST. When age has cast its shadows O'er life's declining . way, And the evening twilight gathers Round our departittg day. Then shall we sit and pondor On the dim and shadowy past ; Within the heart's still chambers, The guests will gather fast. The friends in youth we cherished Shall come to us once mote, Again to hold communion As in the days of yore. They may be stern anti sombre; They might be bright and fair ; But the heart will have its chambers, The guests will gather there. How shall it be my sisters Who then shall be your guests? How shall it be, my brothers, When life's shadow on us rests?. Shall we not, 'midst the silence, In accents soft and low, Then hear familiar voices And words of long ago. The Birth of an American Prince, Programme of the ceremonial to be observed on the birth of a child to Mr. Diggs, one of the sovereigns of America. When Mrs. Diggs begins to feel that the long expected time has at last arrived, she will wake Diggs from the sound steep he will be enjoying, and on his asking "What is the matter?" he will be informed by Mrs. Diggs. As soon as Diggs can hastily get on his pant - aloons, boots and coat, he shall take the or ders of .Mrs. Diggs and go immediately for the Nurse, the Grand Mistress of Diggs' house hold she steps her foot within his ,as soon as s. steps :ter door, and after escorting the Grand Mistress to the said door, he shall inform the family physician, who shall immediately repair to the - Diggs Castle. Diggs shall also convey the information of what is tfanspiring to all who hold rank in his household. His moth er-in-law—she shall appear in whatever clothes she can find handy, the state of her nerves on learning the fact, being in such a condition as to prevent an elaborate toilet. On arriving at the Diggs Castle, she shall ex claim, "Ah! my poor , dear Emily," and look at Diggs, as - it she thought him the worst of criminals. Diggs, on receiving this look in silence, shall cause the head cook and the Maid of the Bedchambers to be called, and be in waitina• b in an ante-room for whatever or ders the Grand Mistress of the Household may send them. Diggs is expected to faith fully execute all these orders in not less than ten minutes; and when they are accom plished, Diggs is at liberty to retire to his, pri vate apartments, and there await further or ders front the Grand Mistress of the House hold. In the meanwhile his nervous system may require a little weak toddy, and in the intervals of propping his nerves, Diggs shall frequently declare that he wishes the thing was all over. In the chamber of Mrs. Diggs there shall ,only be the physician; the grand mistress of the household and the mother-in-law. The latter distinguished personage, before many days, wilt make an effort to outrank the grand mistress of the household, and in the tilts which ensue consequent upon . this effort, Diggs is expected to take both sides and carry -water on both shoulders. The cook shall re tire to the kitchen, stir up the fire, and hold herself ready for any service needed. The maid of the bed chambers shall assemble her self anywhere within calling distance from the door of Mrs. Diggs' apartment, and when 8 00 12.00 5 00 7 50 10 00 15 00 9 00 14 00 93 00 15 00 25 00 '3B 00 25 00 40 00 60 00 LIFE the grand mistress of the household gives her order and tells her not to be all day about it, she shall obey'them. At the moment at which the sioms; are pro pitious, Diggs shall be informed that it is near ly all over. Diggs will put more questions than will be answered, and tie will be told to wait a little while longer, that his dear Emily is bearing up wonderfully, and frequently calls upon her dear Tommy. Thomas Diggs shall sigh, and wish it was all over again. In the morning, when the room'is put to rights, and the child- shall be presented to him by the grand mistress of the household, and Digs shall examine it first with • pro found astonishment, and then assuming a jo vial air shall touch its little cheek and call it "the dear weeny, beeny little thing." Diggs shall then kiss his dear Emily about one doz en times, and express much sympathy for her sufferings. Mrs.• Diggs will then give him distinctly to understand that that child is the last, and that men have no idea of the suffer ing of poor women. The child's name hav ing been long fixed, Diggs shall then proceed to the parlor, and taking down the family Bi ble shall then proceed to make a minute(pro ces verbal) of the birth of the child, in accord ance with the long established usages of the American sovereigns. Soon after daylight the aunts, the cousins, and all the relations that are recognised by the family, including all the relations of the mother-in-law shall call at the house. The cook and maid of the bed chambers will convey the intelligence over the back yard fence to the cook and maid of the bed cham bers next door, and they will convey it to the cook and maid of the bed chambers of the second yard, so that every family in the block shall receive intelligence of the joyful event by breakfast time. Diggs will then take his breakfast without grumbling about the cookery, and proceed to his place of business. By his manner Diggs will indicate to his sovereigns whether the child is a boy or a girl. If it is - a boy, Diggs will be unusually lively—he will walk with a spring—his face will be covered with smiles; he will, in fact, make every one he meets ex claim, "there goes a happy clog". If it is a girl, be will feel happy and look happy, but his happiness will he subdued, quiet and calm. When he arrives at his place of bus iness, he will there proclaim the great event, and is not expected to notice any little joke which may be perpetrated at his expense. Diggs will return home at least six times during the first day.He will look at the child six times, and tickling its cheek with his fin ger, will sometimes exclaim—"Oh, the dear weeny, beeny little thing!" Diggs will take all orders to the Pharmacopolist, and the Pharmacopolist is expected to be unusually elated with the news. The Pharmacopolist will congratulate him in set terms, and will ask how they are doing. Diggs will inform him the: they are doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances, and will enter into particulars, with which the Phar macopolist will be highly delighted, and, if an opportunity is offered,is expected to air his knowledge of the whole business. In flitir weeks after the birth of the child, the Grand Mistress of the Household will vacate the premises. Diggs will then receive strict or ders that he is not expected to go out after tea. The dear weeny beeny little thing Will al ways he sick after tea, and he must help his dear Emily to keep it quiet, and get it sound asleep.—He must also hold himself in read iness to get up at least six times every night. And during the night his only sleep is cat naps. He will be extensively in the catnip trade, that article being found very necessary for the health of the dear weeny, beeny little thin;. In about six months after the event Diggs will have some experience in domestic life, and will find that it has its duties and cares as well es its pleasures. —P hil. A MAIDIM'S FIRST LOVE.--fluman nature has no essence more pure—the world knows nothing more chaste—heaven has endowed the mortal heart with no feeling more holy, than the nascent affection of a young virgin's soul. The warmest language of the sunny south is too cold to shadow forth even a faint outline of that enthusiastic sentiment. And God has made the richest language poor in that same respect, because the depths of hearts that thrill with love's emotions are too sacred for contemplation. The musical voice of love stirs the source of the sweetest thought within the human breast, and steals into the most profound recesses of the soul, touching chords which never vibrated before, and calling into gentle companionship delici ous hopes till then unknown. Yes, the light of a young maiden's love breaks dimly but beautifully upon her as the silver lustre of a star glimmers through a thickly woven bower : and the first blush that mantles her cheek, as she feels the pri mal influence, is faint and pure as that which a rose leaf might cast upon marble. But how' rapidly does that grow stronger, and that flush deeper—until the powerful effulgence of the one irradiates every corner of her heart, and the crimson glow of the other suffuses every' feature of her countenance. A HAPPY Homr..—We fear there are but few happy homes in this world. We do know, that, if any connection be formed on any other basis than that of Christianity there can be no permanent enjoyment. A happy home ! How mach is embraced in that sen tence? how glorious and instructive ! Alas, how rarely do we find one ! We' enter fam ily circles daily where there seems to be mu tual love and happiness. How little of it is real ! It has been said that there is a skele .ton in every house. How easy it is to de suoy the peace and unanimity of home ! One uAniet spirit may transform the calmest cir cle into a place of torment. A family circle resembles an electrical one : while all are similar in disposition and governed by the same mutual love, the current of love will flow free and undisturbed. Let there be in troduced one foreign nature, and the circle is broken ; and, where all was harmony before, there is now chaos and confusion.—Prison er-'s Friend. HUNTINGDON, JUNE 11, 1856. The Unhappy Reply. " I do not think it a selfish act if I occupy this whole seat myself, as I am to travel all this long day," said I to a lady nearest me, as I took the out-of-the-way end seat in the cars at Buffalo for Albany one sultry morn ing. " Certainly not," was the reply, as I put my shawl, books, papers, fan, bonnet, &c., in one end, and nestled myself down in the other. I soon wearied of conversation and reading, and had sunk into a fitful slumber, when a gentle tap on my shoulder and a "please miss" made the wake up with a sud den start. The car was filled to overflowing, and a newly-arrived party had entered, and a pale little woman, with a fretful baby in her arms, stood asking permission to sit beside me.- 7 -- With more of pity than of pleasure I shared my seat with her, yet I spoke but few words, and sulkily forebore taking the restless little creature to ease her poor wearied arms; but merely smoothed its yellow hair and its pale baby cheek, and said Mary was a good and sweet name. For my own comfort r bad opened the win dow, that I might more distinctly catch those picturesque views that flitted by so rapidly that they seemed like growing pictures with out one imperfection to mar, when my atten tion was drawn to my companion, who was incessantly coughing. "I do wish you would let down that win dow," said she; that coal smoke makes my cough so much worse." I am ashamed to confess it now, but I felt the angry blood burn in my cheeks and a flash of the eyes as I replied : "I am quite sick, and wearied, and troubled, and hungry, and thirsty, and crowded, and here you come as an intruder, and keep me from the mite of cool, fresh air that I was, trying to get. Do you think you are doing as you would be done by ?" said I, tardily ; and, without waiting for a reply, I rose, and was letting down the window with an angry crash, as a naughty child would slam a door to shut it, when she had laid her poor wasted little hand on my arms, and said : " Oh, don't do it, then," and burst into tears ; and leaned her head down on her baby and wept bitterly. The woman in my heart was touched, but putting on the injured air of a martyr, I com pressed my lips, and took up a paper pretend ing to read. Pretty soon my eyes grew dim med, I could not see without crushing the tears often, and I resolved to ask pardon for my unkindness, but minute after minute gli ded away, and we soon reached her place of destination, and she rose to leave. I rose too, and the words were on my lips, when a gentleman came to assist her out. She turned her gentle, tearful eyes upon me with a sad expression, and bowed so sweetly that my hand almost upraised for the forgiveness, the words were just dropping from my lips, but she was gone. It was too late; and I, a woman with a wo man's heart was left with that stinging wrong done yet sticking in it, and the sweet words and wasted little hand that could remove it were gone from me forever. 1 sank back in my seat and also wept bitterly. - The gentleman returned from assisting her, and as the car was full he occupied the place she had vacated. I inquired who the lady was, and he replied : " Her home is in Wisconsin, and she has now returned to the home of her childhood to die. The whole family of brothers and sis ters have died of consumption, and she was the last one left, and is fast going too." Oh I I turned away sick at heart, and tried to shut out from remembrance that pallid, ap pealing face, as I resolved and re-resolved never again in this poor life of mine to speak an unkind word to a stranger. PROGRESS OF ASTRONOMICAL SCIENCE.- Seventy-five years since the only planets known to men of science were the same which were known to the Chaldean shepherds thous ands of years ago. Between the orbit of Mars and that of Jupiter there occurs an in terval of no less than three hundred and fifty millions of miles, in which no planet was known to exist before the commencement of the present century. Nearly three centuries ago, the immortal Kepler had pointed out something like a regular progression in the distance of the planets as far as Mars was broken in the case of Jupiter. Being unable to reconcile the actual state of the planetary system with ant- theory he could form re specting it, he hazarded the conjecture that a planet really existed between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, and that ite smallness alone prevented it from being visible to as tronomers. But Kepler soon rejected this idea as improbable. In this space no less than thirty-three small planets—tbe Asteroids —are now known to revolve, and perhaps double this number may yet be discovered. These small planets are believed by Dr. Alex ander and others to have once formedd - a sin gle thin plant. Loafers in Printing-offices The composing -room of a printing-office is not the place to tell long stories, or argue abstruse points in metaphysics. Read, ye loungers, and be advised "A printing-office is like a school; it can have no interlopers, hangers-on, or twaddlers, without a serious inconvenience, to say noth ing of loss of time, which is just as. much as gold to the printer as though it metallically glistened in his hand. What would be thought of a man who would enter a school, and twaddle first with the teacher and then with the scholars—interrupting the studies of one and breaking the discipline of another ! And yet this is the precise effect of the loa fer in the printing-office. He seriously inter feres with the course of business; distracts the fixed attention which- is necessary to the good printer. No gentleman will ever enter it and presume to act loafer. He will feel above for no real gentleman ever sacrifi ces the interests or interferes with the duties of others. The loafer does both. Let him think, if thought he ever has, that the last place he should ever insinuate his unwelcome presence is in the printing-office." Origin of Words ORIGIN OE THE WORD ARABESQUE..--.ThEi term is said to have been applied, because the Arabs and other Mahometans use this kind of ornament; their religion forbidding them to make any images or figures of men, and other animals. The Italians call that style of pain ting groltesca, from the subterraneous places in which the ancient specimens of it were discovered. MAUSOLEUM.—Artemesia, Queen of Calla, built a stately sepulchre for her husband Matt solous, whom she loved so dearly that beside this edifice she caused the ashes of his body to be put into a cup of wine and drank them, that they might be nearer her heart. The word is now applied to any pompous sepul chral monument. ElLA.—ft is derived from ces, brass. The Romans anciently marked down the number of years on tables with brass nails, and thus, in reference to this custom, the word (era, or era, as we have it, came to signify the same epoch, viz : a certain time or date from which to begin the new year, or some particular way of reckoning time and year.. OTTOMAN.—As applied to the Turk, Oth man was the first Turkish Sultan, and from him the whole Turkish State'and Empire is denominated. The Othman Turks completed the overthrow of the Grecian Empire. TOAD EATER.—This expression is used to wards a man in the most degraded state—eat ing the bread of dependence by the most de grading sacrifices. The old, Saxon phrase was er dood hiet eer, viz : Met, he should call ; cr. dood, upon death•; eer, ever. WHEEDLE.—There is some difficulty in as certaining the etymology of this word. It is most probably derived from a German word, wedein, which signifies properly the wagging of a dog's tail when he creeps and cringes; and hence the word in English, which means to coax, to flatter. WASHINGTON MONUMENT IN NEW YORK.- The Union Square Washington Monument, it seems, is a fixed fact, and the strangest part of the whole is, that the getters up of the af fair keep themselves out of sight entirely.— The work will cost some 525,000 or $30,- 000 ; which is covered by private subscription, and yet -nobody knows who the subscribers are. The monument is to be a bronze eques trian statue, cast by the Chicopee Company, at Springfield, from moulds by Mr. H. Brown, a well known American sculptor, of no mean talent. Ground has already been Ix °gen for the foundation, and the.blocks of Quincy granite, weighing five tons each, which are to be used in constructing the pe destal, are already on the spot or at the foot of 23d street. So little has been said about this monument that we really believe it will be built. The projectors are going the right way to work—erecting their statue first, and leaving the talking, bragging and boasting to be done afterwards. The statue, sass the Journal of Commerce, is already completed and ready to be raised upon its pedestal, and in the course of a month or six weeks, perhaps on the Fourth of July, our citizens will be gratified with a view of a monument to Washington having an exist ence elsewhere than on paper. The magni tude of the work may be known from the fact that the pedestal wid be fourteen feet high, and the statue itself about the same height. Good judges of such matters, who have seen the statue at the artist's studio, speak of it in the highest terms of praise.— Its erection will be watched with great inter est. ROMANCE or LIFE.--We heard the particu lars yesterday of one of those strange episo des in life in which the old adage of "truth is stranger than fiction" was fully illnstrated.— About six years since a lady named Mrs. Martha Wood, accompained by her son, his wife and two children, arrived in this city from New Bedford, Mass. She stated that she was a widow of some twenty-four years standing, her husband having been mate of a whaler, which had been lost at sea. The family have resided for the greater portion of the time on:Liberty street, Mr. Wood the son, working at his trade, which is that of a coop er. Yesterday morning a gray headed and toil worn man called at the residence of the family, and seeing Mr. Wood, inquired for the widow, who, being called into the room, while gazing intently at the stranger whose eyes were fixed mournfully upon her, reques ted to know his business. "Do you not know me, Martha ?" said he, and as the sound of Lis-voice, like the memory of an olden melo dy, met her ear, she gave vent to a hysterical cry, and fainted in the arms which were open ed to receive her. The tale is soon told : The ship in which he had made his last voyage from New Bed ford was cast away frt. - the South Sea Islands, and he was one of the few who escaped a watery grave. After enduring almost un heard of privations, he succeedd after thirty years' absence in reaching his native city.— From a brother of his wife he learned' their present location, and arrived here to find her whom he had left a young and blooming bride far advanced in the evening of life, while the infant, upon whose lips, when he last saw h:m, he had imprinted a father's kiss, and who could then scarcely lisp his name,.was now a stalwart man and the head of a family. How many hopes. and: fears must have agita ted the heart of the old mariner as he again set foot, after his long pilgri.nage, upon his native soil. ir'The Evansville (N. Y.) Journal, allu ding to Kansas affairs, calls the President of the United States a "villain," a traitor," a "creeping, crawling sycophant," a "murder er," and "the most infamous man." The editor is probably a Christian, and goes to. church. The Zanesville Gazette states that the wife of one of the un fortunal es, who were entombed in the coal mines near that city, has become deranged in consequence of the long and agonizing suspense, and has been taken to the lunatic asylum at Columbus, Ohio. Remarkable Trial. Within the last two weeks a trial was had in the Court of Common Please of Ross County, which developed some startling facts. An adhering member of the Know Nothing order charged a seceder with perjury, in having disclosed the secrets of the order; upon this charge a suit for slander was insti tuted. Upon the trial the defendant introdu ced, as in evidence, the testimony of several members, of the order, who disclosed these startling facts. They testify that each man who joins the Know Nothing order takes a solemn oath never to disclose the existence of the order, the names of any of its mem bers. or his own connection with it. When asked whether his oath taken in the order was not regarded by them as conflicting with the oath they had just taken in court, from the fact that each one of those witnesses had had not only told of the existence of the of the order, but had revealed the names and connection of members. They replied it did not, from the fact that each of them had a permit of indulgence from Thos. Ford ? Pre sident of the order, granted them permission to testify as witnesses in that case. These startling disclosures must alarm every good citizen for the safety, not only for the admin istration of justice, but the security of our free institutions. When a dark and secret cabal becomes so lost to very sense of relig ion and duty as to administer oaths to do, or to forbear to do certain acts, and then to grant indulgences to tamper with and violate these solemn obligations, it is time for good men to cry out in alarm. Whence has Torn Ford derived the power to absolve men from the binding obligation of solemn oaths Who gave him Dower to annul the most sacred appeals to Almighty God that human beings can make And yet from the sworn testimony of witnesses in a court of justice it appears that he has assum ed to do this, and men stood up in a court of justice and violated these oaths, declaring that they felt no compunction of conscience for doing so, because of the all-absolving power of Tom Ford's indulgence. One of the most solemn charges Know Nothingism has urged against the Pope is that once his predecessors granted indulgence and absol ved from the bindiog effect of oaths. What is the difference, Jet us ask, between their own acts and what they charge upon the Pope I How long will good men countenance an order that practices such black and infa mous Jesuitism 7—Lancaster Eagle. WANTED—A SER APII I—ONE ACCUSTOM.- ED TO PLAY ON A HARP PREFERRED I—The New York Tribune has the following, out of its usual columns of advertisements: "We want preachers of the gospel of Kan sas. We don't want any argument, or essay, or logic, to prove anything touching the great' question. Congress._ is lawyered to death.— We want preachers with tongues of fire ; and a leader holy, rapt, and Huss, and a Peter the Hermit. We want glorified mystical as a seraph. This is a day for Luther, a spirits filled with ode and rhapsody and lyric. The great harp of liberty lies unstrung, and needs to be waked to new and sublimer strains than were*evoked from its strings. Where is the master who shall seize it, touch its cords, and rouse this people into life There is the cause and the crisis, the essential elements of one of the most mo ving, exciting and magnetic contests that ever was witnessed. The ingredients of a more than necromantic (negro-man-tic) pow er lie in - unimagined opulence beneath oar feet. Where is the enchanter whose wand shall vitalize them." • We'do not know who to commend to them for their necessity except the man who preached upon "the harp of a thousand strings—sperets of just men made perfeck,'. 2 It is doubtful, however, if that hard hearted philosopher would do, as he does not quite answer to the description of a seraph or a "Cherrybum," or a Griffin, or a Gyasticus ! It is evident that the present leaders at Washington do not come up to the require ments of this advertisement. There are many, who have many of the seraph quali fications, but none combines all. For in stance, Greely looks like a yeller covered ser aph, laded and swelled• with too much wash ing. But his conversation is not heavenly, but the opposite; and the lyre is his favorite instrument, and not the harp. Jack Hale might set up for "a glorified spirit,' but as his pockets are filled with cop pers picked up in the lobbies he cannot do more than set up—he cannot rise to the blue Empyrean.. Then who ever heard of such a seraph with such breeches pockes, and cop pers in them.--Albany Atlas and- Argus. A ROYAL LIAR.—lt is said that George IV. would not hesitate to resort to an out-and-out lie to relieve himself trom an embarrassing • position. O'Connell declared that it was his belief "that there never was a greater scoun drel than George 1V.," and related an occur rence that took place when the Prince, Mrs. Fitzherbert, and. Charles. James Fox were dining together : "After dinner, Mrs Fitzherbert said :--'l3y the by, Mr. Fox, I had almost foigotten to ask you what you did say about me in the House of Commons the other night '1 The newspapers misrepresent so very strangely that one cannot depend upon them. You were made to say that the Prince authorized you. to den's his marriage with :ne.' The Prince made monitory grimaces. at Sox, and immediately said :—'lTpon my honor,. my dear. I never authorized him to deny it.' Upon my honor, sir, you did,' said Fox, r i s i ng f ro m the table ; had always thought your father the greatest liar in England, but now I see that you are.' Fox would not as sociate with the Prince for. some years,•until one day that he - walked in unannottneedi, and! found Fox at dinner. Fox rose as the Prince entered and said that he had' but one course to pursue, consistent with his hospitable duty as an English gentleman, and that was to ad mit him." PC Gates are mu:,h• preferable te."bara." VOL, 11, NO. 51, i Bashful Men. 'BY MRS. MART A. DENNISON.. We never yet saw a genuinely bashful man who was not the soul of honor. Though such may blush and stammer, and shrug: their' shoulders awkwardly, unable to throw forth with ease the thoughts that they would er press, yet commend them to us for friends. There are fine touches in their characters I that time will mellow and bring out ; percep -1 nuns as delicate as the faintest tint into the unfolded rose; and their thoughts are none the lesarefined and beautiful that they do not flow with the impetuosity of the shallow streamlet. We are astonished that such men are not. appreciated j that ladies with really good hearts and cultivated intellects, will reward the gallant Sir Mustachio grainless With smiles and attentions, because he din fold a shawl gracefully, and bandy compliments with Parisian elegance, while they will not condescend to look upon the worthier man who feels for them a reverence so great that his every mute glance is worship. The man who is bashful in the presence of ladies, is their defender when the loose tongub of the slanderer would defame them ; it is not he who boasts of conquests, or dares to talk glibly of failings that exist in his imagi nation alone; his cheek will flush with re sentment, his eye flash with anger, to hear the name of woman coupled with a coarse, oath; and yet he who would die to defend them, is least honored by the majority of our sex. Who ever heard of a bashful libertine The anomaly was never seen. Ease and ele gance are his requisites; upon his lips sits flattery, ready to play court alike to blue eyes and black ; he is never nonplussed, he never blushes. For a glance he is in rapturesl for a word he would professedly lay dawn his life. Yet it is he who fills our vile city dens with wrecks of female purity ; it is he who profanes the holy name of mother, desolates the shrine where domestic happiness is thron ed, ruins - theiteart that trusts in him, pollutes the very air he breathes, and all under the mask of a polished gentleman. Ladies, a word in your ear : have you lov ers, and would you possess a worthy hus band 'I Choose him whose delicacy of de portment, whose sense of your worth leads him to stand i aloof, while others crowd around you. If he blushes, stammers even at your approach, consider them as so many signs of his exalted opinion of your sex. If he is re tiring and modest, let not a thousand weigh him down in the balance, for depend upon' it, with him your life will be happier with ps--v -erty, than with many another surrounded by the splendor of palaces. As blossoms and flowers are strewn upon the earth by the hand of spring, as the kind= ness of summer produceth in perfection the bounties of harvest, so the smiles of pity shed blessings on the children of misfortune. He who pitieth another, recommendeth himself, but he who is without passion de serveth it not. The butcher relenteth not at the bleating of the lamb, neither is the heart of the cruel moved with distress. But the tears of the compassionate are sweeter than the dew-drops falling from roses on the bosom of spring. Shut not thine ear therefore against the cries of the poor, neither harden thy heart against the calamities of the innocent. When the fatherless call upon thee, when , the widow's heart is sunk and she imploreth thy assistance with tears of sorrow : 0 pity her affliction, and extend thy hand to those who have none to help them. When thou seest the naked wanderer of the street, shivering with cold, and destitute . of habitation, let bounty open thine heart, let the wings of charity shelter them from death:. that thine own soul may live. Whilst the poor man groaneth on the bed of sickness, whilst the unfortunate languish , in the horrors of a dungeon, or the hoary head of age lifts up a feeble eye to thee for pity; 0 how canst thou riot in superfluous enjoy ments: regardless of their wants, unfeeling. of their woes ! ADVICE FROM All OLD INHABIT ANT.-1. Pa tronise your own trades and mechanics. This is doing as you would be done by, and is , building up the town you live in. 2. ay your debts; so that other people may pay theirs. 3. Quarrel with no znan;• and then no- man. will quarrel with you. 4. Send your children constantly to school,. and look in now and then yourself, to see how they are doing there. 5. Keep all neat and clean about your dwel • ling, for cleanliness—you know—is the hand maid of health, and a distant COUSITI. of wealth.. 6. Avoid scanda,l;• for this is a pest of any community. .7. Be liberal in respeot to every laudible enterprise; for the good book says, "The lib eral shall be made fat." 8. Visit the sick, the widiow and' the father less, for this is one part of that religion which, is pure and undefiled. 9'. Keep your children in at night; for the' evening air is bad for them; and finally, 10. Feed your mind as well as your body r for that you know is- what must go• into the scales at last. HINTS TO I P ARENTS.—The Rev. Hosea Bal lou—the founder and champion of Universal ism in this country—was accustomed to say to parents : "If you practice severity, speak harshly, frequently punish in anger, you will; find your children will imbibe your spirit and manners. But if you are wise, and rreatyouv little. ones with tenderness, you. will- Sr the image of love in their minds, and they will love yomand each other, and in their conver sation will imitate the conversation which , they have heard from the tenderest friends which children have on , earthY A good anecdote iatola of Ali Pasha, the• Sultan's Grand Vizier, now in Paris. A few evenings ago, a lady., to whom this gentle man was introduced at a soiree, hazarded the. naive question, "Is the Sultan married 7" itAi greradealy, madam,' was the Turk's Pegly- Pity. MEI
