THE HEART HAS NEED OF SYMPATHY
The heart has need of sympathy,
Some heart to share
The hopes and fears, the smiles and lean
. Of earthly care ;
Consoling when dark shadows rest
Upon our way,
Rejoicing, when perchance there is
A brighter day.
What cheer f r tis, when our poor hearts
Me° found some ono,
Whose feelings may be with our own,
In unison ;
But ah ! the gloom grows deeper yet
In saddened hours,
When we have sought in vain some hearts
To answer ours,
MISCELLANY,
ONE DROP AT A TIME.--"LifO," says
the late John Poster, "is expenditure ; we
have it, but arc continually losing it, we
have the use of it, but as continually wwast
ing it. Suppose a man confined in some
fortress, under the doom to stay- there
till his death ; and suppose there is there
for his use a dark reservoir of water, to
which he is certain none can ever be ad
ded, He knows, that the quantity is not
very great—he cannot penetrate to ascer
tain how much, but it may be very little,
Ho has drawn from" it, by means of a
fountain, a good while already, and draws
from it every day. But how would he
feel each time of drawing, and each time
thinking of it? Not as if he had a peren-!
niel spring to go to. Not have a reser- 1
voir, I may be at ease.' .No ! but, had
water yesterday—l have water to-day ;
but having had it, and may have it to-day-,
is the very cause that I shall not have it on
some day that is approaching, And at
the same time I am compelled to this fatal
expenditure !' So of our mortal transient
life ! And yet men are very much dispos
ed to admit the plain truth, that life is a
thing which they are in no other way posH
sessing, than as neessarily consuming; and
that even in this imperfect son e of pos-;
session, it becomes every day Iss xissos..!

WeAR A SMILE.---WhiCh will you do--
smile, and make others happy, or be crab;
bed, and make every body around you mis
erable ? You can live among beautiful
flowers and singing birds, or in the mire,
surrounded by fogs and frogs. The amount
of happiness you can produce is incalcula
ble, if you will show a smiling face—a
kind heart—and speak pleasant words.—
On the other hand, by sourlooks, cross
words, and a fretful disposition, you can
make scores and hundreds wretched al
most beyond endurance. Which will you
do ? Wear a pleasant countenance—let
joy beam in your eyes, and love glow on
your forehead. , There is no joy so great
as that which springs from a kind act or a
pleasant deed—and you may feel it at night
when you rest, at morning -when you rise,
and through the day, when about your dai
ly business.
smile—who will refuse a smile,
The sorrowing breast-to cheer !
And turn to love the heart of guile,
And check the falling tear?
A pleasant smile for every face,
0 'tis a blessed thing!
It will the lines of care erase,
And spots of beauty bring."
PROFANITY.—The least pardonable' of
all vices to which the folly or cupidity of
main is addicted, says an excellent writer,
is that of swearing. Could he, who so
freely indulges 'in profanity and indecent,

I "IT ' S ALL BIGHT, ITS ONLY ME,"—A
1 BOLD THlEF."—Between throe and four o',
clock, on Wednesday morning, one of the
1 city watch, whilst walking in the vicinity
I of Dock and Second streets, saw the reflec
t tion of a light over the door of the clothing
1 store of Mr. Robert Clifton, at the North.
oast corner of those streets, and supposing
1 that something was wrong, stepped up to
I to the door, and ratttled at the handle.—
' The person within responded to the call by
saying, "Is that you, watchman ?" The
watchman, as is natural under all the cir
cumstances, supposed the person_ in the
store to be the proprietor thereof, and walk
ed away. Not long after another watch
man's attention was attracted by the light,
and upon rattling at the door, the person
said,-"slop a minute, watchman, and I'll
let you in." Presently the door was un
locked, and in walked the suspecting" Char
fie." Some remarks passed between him
and the supposed thief, which were of such
a nature as induced the watchman to think
the man was proprietor of the store.—
"Why, you're up late," said the watchman.
"Yes, I thought I might as well sleep here
as go home," replied the man, at the same
time raking the fire, and inviting the watch
man to warm lift - itself by the stove. The
latter took a seat, and the man picked up
the coal shuttle, walked into the street, anti
emptied the ashes into the gutter. , He then
returned, and entered into quite a familiar
conversation with the watchman, upon
their arduous duties, the near approach of
Christmas, and various other subjects.—
The watchman at length having thorough
ly warmed himself, rose, and bidding the
man "good-bye," proceeded on his round,
The former watchman, who was acquaint
ed with the proprietor of the store, did not
get in, and the watchman who did get in,
was not acquainted with him. Thus it
will be seen that the thief played his part
well, The watchmen. of course were fair
ly dumstruck, after day-break, when they
found that the fellow had 'decamped with
several hundred *dollars' worth of coats,
pants, & c.—Philadelphia Sun
A Swzrr HORSE.—The Maine Farmer
tells a number of tough stories about a man
whom it calls ‘'Neverbeat." Here is one
of the best of them : •
"A gentleman was boasting, in the pre
sence of Neverbeat, abou t the speed of his
horse, which, he said, would trot a mile in
side of three minutes, and follow it for
three consecutive miles,
ze 1.111t1t; KIIIIMCS am t
! much. to brag about," said Neverbeat,
“.Why the other day 1 was up .to S—,
sixteen miles distant. Just as I started
for home, a shower Caine sweeping on.—
The rain struck in the back part of the
wagon, and the moment it struck I hit old
Kate a cut with the whip, and away she
trotted, scarcely touching her feet to the
ground. She kept just nip and nip with
the shower. The wagon was filled' with
water, but not a- drop fell on ',le. Old
Kate can't be beat by any piece of horse-)
llesh in the State. When she goes, she
goes it."
"Smart horSe or lazy shower," said the !
gentleman as lie .mizzled.'
MOURNING APPAREL.-111 lilurope, black
is generally-used beeause it represents dark
ness, unto which death is like,.as it is a
privation of life. In China, white is used
because they hope the dead is in Heaven,
the place of purity. In Egypt, yellow is
used because it represents the decaying
flowers and trees which become yellow as
they decay. In Ethiopia, brown is used
because it denotes the color of the earth,
from whence we came and whence we re
turn.
A correspondent of the Cl otiose() Farmer,
says:--'The best way of banishing mice
and rats from mows and bins of grain, and
all similar places we have hoard of, is
scattering the branches of ?flotilla virldis
or common spearmint about in the mows
when packing away grain, or strewing o
ver the bins of grain, casks of apples, &c,,
exposed to their depredations. ~llre have
tried it, so have our neighbors, and found
it to be effectual.'
