There is • time, we know not when—
A point, lye know not where,
That marks the destiny of men
To glory or despair.
There is a line by us unseen,
Which croptes every path,
The hidden boundary between
God's patience and his wrath
To pass that limit is to die;
To die as if by 3tcalth—
It does not quench the beaming eye,
Ur pale the glow of health.
The Conscience may be still at ease,
The spirits light and gay:
That which is pleasing still may please,
And Cart be thrust AWAY.
ut on that forehead God haq set
ladelitly. a mark:
Un , een b) man, kir man P. yet
la blind. and in the dark.
And yet the doomed man's course below,
Like Eden may have bloomed;
lie did not, does not, will not know
Ur feel that he is doomed.
Ile feelq—he knows that all is well,
And irerr tear is calmed—
He die A—be wakes iu Hell,
Nut unh doomed—but damned.
Oh. 'A here is this mpterious bourns
lihich our paths arc crossed,
Be; and nltich God himself bath sworn
That he who goes is lost.
How far may we go on in sin
How long will God forbear?
Where does Hope eud, and wiser, begin
The confines of Despair?

While it it called 'to-day,' repent,

--A LUCKY SLEIGH RED&
Br JOHN ISLET
There was a deal of sleigh riding last
winter up in 'New Hampshire. Not
let4s in the streets of the city, either,
than out over the breezy roads of the
country. Sleighing parties have 'come
out us thick us nondlroonis over night.
The L.tilwrt,ati hotels and the snug little
loses of muntry tavern , : have been full.
The white landscape has been crossed
all over with dark lines of harnessed
slLighs, cutting it up likein checker
board. During Ito w inter these twenty
years past. has resin been in 'such de
mand, either, for fidille•bors. Till mid
night, and long after, old folks and
coma; have " shako t . the foot" to
the most inspiring tunes catgut knew
Low to produce.
Up in Snipperham, they have been
having as gay a time as they ever had
in their lives, with their sleighing par
tits d lning thoseason just closed. Like
the young fellow m nth the miraculous
net k-tie, they hare given their whole
time and attention to it ; and it is very
likely some of the young folkS, in
artieular,wili have reason to remember
nail their lives.
Amos Murk will, there is no doubt.—
For it so happened that Amos had once
finind his way to the heart of Mary
Jones, and forthwith matte up his mind!
to take permanent possession; probably
by right of discovery. Mary seemed
not at all unwilling, either, and in truth'
promised, as matters for a time were
going, to make a spanking good wife ,
But they must up and quarrel. No.!
body ever knew what it was about, and
more than half the folks thought it was
nil about nothing. At first it was only
it coldness and visible enstrangement,
when succeeded a little more hcang to
the fueling, which flowed out in rancor.
And finally they scratched and spit like
two jealous eats «ith their backs up—
though I would not have the reader
suppose it was in each other's faces.—
They fought only in good substantial
Englizh, employing their tongues for
weapons, and using up a pretty big
stock of intensified adjectives - in the op
eration, till in this way the difference
grew so great there was no probability
they would ever come together again.
They avoided one another on principle,
and when they glanced at each other
eeros.s the church, and it so chanced
that their expressive eyes met, anybody
could see that they had both better
be jt home than in their seats at the
sanctuary.
But when all hands turned out, ono
initht and frosty morning, for a sleigh
ride over to Pokahoket, and began to
titoenible at the little village tavern as
general rendezvous before starting,
Ames Mark discovered that Mary Jones
wag there along with the rest, and that
sifteleitrae in company with John Daily.
e first thought of Mary, when she
esipied 'her lover, was—" Well, if I'd a
t~l he'd been: here, I'm sure I
have come !" And on his part

horses set up a prancing and pawing as
they came up, while those who had just
received their cargoes started off on n
good round trot, shaking, off the music
from their necks and sides in wreaths
and circles on the frosty air.
The tavern-stoop was crowded with
the stay-at-home, to cheer the rest as
they started. Old Snipperharn was
wide awake. F.very body felt like firing
off a dozen rounds or so with a swivel,
or running up the stars and stripes to
the hickory flag-staff on the middle of
the green; or shouting, or doing some
thing they never thought of doing be
fore. Their puny bodies seemed a
great deal too small to hold the whole
of their effervescent gaiety. It would
work itself out in every sort of a way,
and appeared for the time to have got
the uppermost hand of them.
Away went the sleighing party,
stretching over the country as far as
you could see. ,It was really a pictur
esque affair, whatever else it might be.
Up bill and down they send along, over
long and narrow roads with atone walls
on Gabor side s across reaches of open
and• bleak pasture land, 4-hero the
winds could scour without' any hinder
anee or interruption, and thenac thro'
belts of donee woodland, with the trees
all bare and shivering and the wooly
snow softly piled up about their roots.
They sat cuddled pretty closely in their
sleighs, and kept np a genial conversa
tion with one another under the bear
skins and burffa!oes. Or now and then
oito called oat to his neighbor in trout
of him or behind him, and the ladies
improved die chance to exchange smiles
and bright glances across the space that
intervened.
They first drove plump through Po
kahoket, which was a good tau miles
away from Snipperham, and then . re
turned to get warm and find a hot sup
per waiting. At the table they did full
Justice to their ancient Snipperham rep
utation. Girls and all, they sat'down
to it as they would go about a serious
day's work. How tha oysters vaiiiih
ed ! How the roast turkeys !ook wing
again! How the kniek-knacks melted
from the tables, like butter on it mealy
mouthed flatterer's tongue. What dia.
cord of male and female gabble all
around the room r What work they
made with trying to help one another!
What. haste they were in to swallow the
heaped piles on their plates, as if this
were the last meal, and it was to last
them all their lives.
Pokahoket was alive and swarming.
The good eitir.ens turned out en maw,
and flocked over to the tavern to see
the fun go on. The ladies and children
packed the windows with living heads,
and pointed eagerly to every Suipper
hammer. they could see around the tav
ern door.
It was dusk, and a little after, when
they got the fiddlers ready. Arid it
was half an hoer after that before they
had limbered themselves out enough to
go to dancing.
They wont at that pretty much as
they went at their sapper; hit or miss,
each one Cyr himself particularly. The
ladies were eepeeinlly well taken cure
of, because nobody could conveniently
get along without them.
Well, and they danced, and danced,
and danced. The fiddles squealed, and
squealed, and squoalcd. The old hull
floor creaked, and swung, and vibrated.
41,nd the windows shook, and rattled,
and rattled. Till it was past ten o'-
clock. When the head men said it was
high time to leave off and start for
home. And the sets broke up in disor
der, and the fiddles stopped short as if
they were attacked with the asthma.
The committee footed the bill, and
teams were brought round to the door,
and the gentlemen or "young ful
lers" were all ready to take their ladies
and start back for Snipporham by the
bright moonlight that was flooding the
earth.
One stepped up after another to the
girls packed away in the entry, and
asked theta if they were equipped, and
carried them out to the sleighs. Finn:-
ly Amos Mark plunged in, rushed up to
a young lady, whom front her habili
ments he supposed to ho Mary 3feegre,
and inquired—
" All ready ?"
'• Yes," she answered, through her
and went out after him.
There was a great deal of confusion
in getting off, and it vast discord ofbells
and voices all mixed up in a snarl before
the house. It would have been a hard
place, indeed, for a man to know his
own wife from any other woman. But
they all bundled in at last, and Amos,
in his proper place in the line. began
his return ride of ten miles to Snippur-
Lt.m.
To tell the truth as it was, the Poka.
hoket " Torn ar.d Jerry" had some
considerable influence on the sentiments
of a portion of the sleigh riders, and
upon Amos Mark especially. Ho felt
so much warmed up that ho thought he
could do no less than make himself sur
prisingly agreeable to the girl under the
same bear skin.
"Mary," said he, speaking low under
his burden of mutters, " how do you
like it?"
She said it suited her.
"Arc you cold any ?"
" Oh, no indeed; ain't cold a bit."
"Glad of it. I'm warm myself. I
hope you've enjoyed loursell; havn't

Sbo bcoitated it minute.
"Sty," h• continued, "don't you love
me too, Mary ?"
"Yes,"—but it was spoken softly and
tin►idly.
Ah I what a moment of bliss was
that; they felt: repaid for their day's la
bor many and many times over. They
cuddled up together under those robes,
and mid many a soft and sweet thing,
and told many a secret, that nothing
abort of this cozy ride, the excitement
of the dancing, and the warmth of Tom
and Jerry, could bare tempted them
to do.
Then followed a Rilence of a couple of
Wine.
Mary spoke up sharp and quick, when
that distance had been traveled.—
" Why, John, this isn't your horse ?"
She had just noticed it.
" lee my horse; though," said Amos,
"and my name Aso': John, °Wirt. !
What are you talking about, Mary ?"
She now became so thoroughly alarm.
ed that she thrust aside her veil with
the robe before her, and turned round
and stared Amos Murk full in the face !
Sho even pulled down the comforters
from his eyes and nose, to get a better
view of him.
There be was, though, not. John
.1 by any means, ns aho had sup
posed;3 but Amos Mark, hug accepted
and her former lover.
And she—she was Mary Jones, his
very bitter, bitterest enemy.
There was no help for it, though. It
would not, do to cull for assistance.
She had to sit and tank the mutter
over in sulky silence. Till finally Amos
spoke, and said—" Well, 'taint such a
dreadful mistake after all ? What's to
hinder our being friends again, sure
enough ?" •
Mary acquiesced,-.they made up
right there in the sleigh—and in less
than twelve months were the gayest
and happiest married couple in ull Snip

Vsacination--Elmall-Pox.
From extended and dose observation
the following close deductions scan► to
bo warranted : First—Wan:He; vacci
nation is an almost perfect safeguard
until the fourteenth year. Second—At
the beginning of fourteen the sy,tuni
gradually loses its capiisility of resis
tance until about. twenty-one, when
many persons become most as liable to
small-pox as if they had not been cocci
natAxt. Third—This, liability remains
in full force until about forty-two, s•hen
the susceptibility begins todeclino, and
eontinut* for seven years to grow less
and less, becoming extinct at about
fifty—the - period of life when the gen
eral revolution of the body begins to
take plow, during which the system
yields to decay, or takes a new lease of
life for two or throe terms of seven
pairs each. Fourth—The grand prac
tical use to be made of these statements
is: Let, every youth be re-vaccinated
on entering fourteen ; let several at
tempts be mode, so as to bo certain of

No Washington.
A young friend of ours tells thi, fol
lowing story of himself : When young,
he had read the well known story of
George Washington's lore of truth,
and the father's lore of the noble prin
ciple of his son, so well manifested ors
the occasion referred to. of George's
cutting down the cht.rry tree, aciatowl
edging the transaction, and receiving a
full and free pardon, besides pruip.es and
kind caresses from his father. So
aetaati d by so noble an example,
thought he would try the experiment
on. Ile supplied I.intpelf with a
hatchet, and going into his fhther's or
chard, cut down soma choice fruit
trees. le then sat down to 'await the
old man's coming, and as soon as he
made his appearance, marched tip to
him with a very important nir and ac
knowledged the deed, expecting the
next thing on the programme to be
tears, benediction and embraces from
the offended parent. But sad to relate,
instead of thig, the old gentleman
caught np a hickory and gave him an
"all-firod lamming." J:iu was no Wash

Shoes for Hens.
A writer in the New England Farmer
states that, an old lady in his vicinity
has been ►n the habit for several years
of shoeing her chickens, in order to
prevent them from scratching, and sug

for the novel invention. Au elderly
lady in ',he vicinity of Baltimore, well
versed in chicA - emology, ssys---" Non
sense! there is nu novelty in the thing
at all, for chickens have been shooed
ever since there was any body to shoe
them—and further—it often happens
that they are shooed best when scratch

Demoneration on the Pa.mage of the
Kansas Bill—Serenade, &c.. to anal
Speech of the President and Others
Tho triumph of the great National
party on the Kansas question, has been
the theme of exultation since the vote
was heralded from the hallsof Congress.
Between the hours of nine and ten last
evening, the marine band, drawn in a
tar by four fine steeds, proceeded to the
Executive mansion, and the object be
ing anticipated, they wore followed by
several hundred people. Upwards of
two thousand persons, including many
ladies, were thus congregated in front
of the house. Tho ceremonies were
commenced with the national anthem,
uhlail Columbia," which was followed
with throe hearty cheers for “lhe Pro:-
ident of Me United States." The Presi
dent soon appeared at a window,
ev
idently fine health and spirits, and in
eloquent terms acknowledged the com
pliment.
Mr. Buchanan said he had long been
acquainted with Washington--inchoate
with his follow citizens.of this city for
a longer period than many of those
present had lived. Ile had never m
eek-ad anything bat kindness and good
will from the population of this District.
He thanked theta that the kindness
which their fathers .bad extended to.
wards him sortie°s in the breasts of
their • children: -Tho President hoped
that if he should live to return to his
quiet home he should cry with him
their Affectionate regard, which he
shall etWeattor to desetve. This is a
great *taiciit, said he, on which they
had assembled. It is far above men.
The best interests of the country were
involved in tho long contest which has
so happily terminated. The President
hoped and believed th.t the resat will
promote the peace d prosperity of
our glorious Union ; nd of all the peo
ple on the surfac. f the earth, the
people of %Yoshio. on are the most in
terested in • n the unity of in

it would ho beeoming for httn.to enter
into any discussion of the great quos.

Ile would, therefore, tended." -by re,
prating how heartily ho feit their kind-'

During the del:very' of thiii •Address

with entbutisam; whilst. every .one
seemed impressed withaepirit of-vener•-

The President'retired from the wjn.

Toombs tisk thetileitidly called for and

patriotic ,powe;..and,oloquence. Ho

PrOm the President's house the mul

ex-Gov. Win. Bigler 1-then to those of
the - Hoe. J. Glancy Jones, Hon. Sena
tor Green, Hon. Wm. H. English and
Hon. A. G. Brown, at all of which the
music poured forth patriotic strains,
and each of the gentlemen acknowl
edged the honor in terms of glowing
eioqueoce—expressing their views on
the national blessings which must re
sult from the settlement of the long
vexed question. During these entlitt
oinstic exercises, a corps of eunnoniers
from several points of the city sounded
forth the exultation from the cannon's
month. Altogether this was a brilliant
and successful demonstration of its
sort, all rejoicing over the indications

Mrs. Brown, who has long suffered
with illness, apparently died, all pulsa

coffin ; and one of the girls visiting the
body shortly after, and sobbing loudly,
the corpse moved, fetid the eyes opened
