They know there is care and la bor for every one, but love can gild the One and lighten the other; It is a world of sorrow,; hickhess and death befall' every ono. But what are these sPeetral thoughts to young hearts 'that ineari'te triumph over ev,ery ill by the irresistible' power of love? Even these who have seen their visions melt away, Mid who have lu_een disenchant ed, love to go baek forjlio hour to the old fond delight. They look with plea ,' sure-upon two souls leaving the shore for the Wide sea; fondly' believing that thifre,W iltn ever ben wave upon the wa ter, no a gale 'utile air. Those even whohavelrad stormy-days and a drea ry voyage, are glad. that the beginning of it should be bright. There is ono point. of universal sym pathy—the wedding hour of two ingen nons youths. Every one rises out of his 'dull and - droning life into his best moods. Every (mein eyes look benign ly upon. the happy pair. Every one would fain throw a - flower upon their path, and, if, lie.eould, a flower without thorns: It was under this :generous impulse that the enstom arose of making pres ents to the bride; Probably it began in simpfer ages than Ours, when men wero shepherds 'and hnsbandinen. The young people 1116 F it be set up in house keeping. One, therefore, woUld give a garment, another a cow, anethei a piece of furniture. In some• villages in Eu rope, to this day, the young pair walk from the church to their new home, by he side of a loaded cart, whereon their ieighbors have piled all the miseella leous stun' of a rustle household ; so hat, :when they are settled down at homo,, almost every article speaks to them a language of : udness from some village friend. In this simple way, a rural community set up each new house hold. BLit 'ae wealth increases, and new manners prevail in relined society, it is no longer an aim to furnish the lodg ings of love's young pilgrims. The cus tom of giving presents remains, but the motive changes.; and unless great cau tion be used, finch custom degenerates, and becomes offensive. To those who u•e rich, and " who can repay again,' presents abound. While to the less fa vored,. to Villein some help would be most timely, little is given. The daugh ter of a rich man manioc: a rich man's only,wm. Every one would fain stand well with them all. illamond rings, bracelets of great price, silverware of every kind, with and 'without a use, am& 1....M.A.n of every abound, and the long table groans with the needless. profusion. There sno thought of setting up in life this joyous pair, for they are full rich already, and able to furnish their costly dwelling munificently. If the motive be woi ley of the gifts, how much must these two people be loved ! Jut if it be done in a truly charitable spirit, it will not be an ungracious tfiing to trace these gifts aid to unveil the ►no jives whieh have brought. hither such rare and costly things. The parents, the Mother:: and sisters, the near relatives, of tlminie fitly bestow these otrerings. The near neighbor re calls, when his daughter was It - tarried, that the bride's father gave her a silver urn, and solely it xvould not du ler him to be less generous. Under the form of he settles . a debt, and says, When all is over, " There, that score is cleared. No one could say that he out- (lit! me."

And Goa shining gift goes from his hand. i.The lawyer who did the father's 1311 S- ness and expect.; the son's, says, " It will never do for me h) be stingy .on such an occasion. Money given away to such people is money planted." Correspontlents anti bankers, politica friends and partners, n►ust send or suf fer. The yn►lng vohHhi, Who is clerking at a small salary, dare not withhold his gift, and is ashamed; tip send finch an ono as comports with his means.

Ile might be strength ened against a second temptation, if he could hear the . ,britle's father saying, " What! Jacob sent this The young dogis extravagant. Wonder Hite thinks he's rich?" I seldom take pleasure in looking at the wedding treasure chamber. The geld and silver have no beauty in my 'eyes: •If I am sure love gave them, and was able to 'give, the presents cannot be too profuse. T think of the hum ble cousins, the poor young men wish ing to stand well in society, the outside friends that ,dare not come without gifts •wheit all are expected to give, and. this takes away aI.IJ pleasure. Each,man's gift is marked with his name, that eve ry one may kitilv hew well each has "done his duty: " have you been up to ,see the presents''„' is the familiar 'ques tion. .It is sad to think that such' presents should be made a Matter of calculation, but they are. The very bride does not shrink froi» calonlating the probable gilts.- And alter the wedding bazaar is closed, an account of stock is taken.— For the moment, ,they are the best friends IA ho have given the most choice 'and nattering gifts. The meatiness- of some, the stinginess and neglect of oth ers, is severely noted. The fiend has overleaped the walls of ParradiSe, and soiled the brightness and innocence of -the early hours of a new life. There will be many to whom these WPllls will seem severe and unmerciful. But it . is in no spirit of censorious criti cism that they , are N:••itten," There is need that men simuliOeware, lest pride and vanity eat out the. value of thqe gifts which should only come from love —which should be valued, not for what they air., - but for what they express.— .N.

Is there no law upon our statute books for, the protection of innocent men ? and are thieves, liars, scoundrels , and blacklegs to go on, unmolested, with their depredations, wrenching the hard earned lucre from the fists of honest men ? All the little' arteries and blood vessels of my body have just held.an indignation meeting over a little cir cumstance which happened to me but a short time since ; and so furiously did they pronounce against the loss I had austaitied, that it is with the utmost difr !lenity that I am able to keep them from bursting with revenge. A month or Ho ago,ll read from a well established and relitlfle newspaper, au advertigemeht Whiehysald that If I Or any other man) wouosend thirty-five cents to a certain firm or institution, giving my age, color of hair, eyes, &c., that I would receive in return a faesint ilo photograph of her who is . to be my futurewitb. Now, hq . it known that I knew perfectly well who Was to be my future wife.; but the idea that I could get a. true copy 'of-her for thirty-five tents, more than pleaSed me. I had long wished for something of the kind, but she had always put me oil; by say ing that I would soon leave the origi nal, and that it Would be a needless ex pense to bother with ketting photo graphs. But I, wanted her to carry with me; I wanted her shadow, until the time - should arrive when the origi- IVal would, indeed, be n greatpufficien cy. Throwing the paper aside, and phingink my hand deep into bree ches pocket, I hauled therefrom thirty- five coppers, which seemed to have been placed there by' a special providence; and after borrowing a sheet of letter pa per and an envelope from the hospita ble landlord, and drawing on my churn, John t.imith, for the postage money, I wrote a few words, enclosed the thirty live cents, and mailed it. After return ing to the hotel, I happ‘med to think that I bad forgotten to clOse -my letter with a P. ;-;., and that the envelope did. not have the words " in haste" marked on it. 1 returned to the post office, and through the kindness of the mistress, was allowed to make the proper correc tions. In lieu of the plixe, I was to have a feeling of weal, expectancy creep over me. The hour for supper soon arrived, and although I never had been consid ered a big feeder, yet I had acquired a reputation for promptness theretofore; but having no aPpetite for supper, and being entirely opposed to formalities under any circumstances, I madeknown my disqualifications: to the landlord, so that tea F•linidd not be delayed,' on my avcouni.

I walked round and round it, and sought the entrance, at which stands Erwin's statue, the figure of justice. On the opposite side of the church is the portal, on which is the martyrdom of St. Laurentius, within an arbor, as it were, of stone, open all around, and full of hanging grape vines. In the principal entrance on.the left are wise virgins with their lamps, in nocent and simple; on-the right are saints, with demons or evil spirits under their heels. Op the one gate are angels abOve angels; fin the other, martyrs.— As I looked up and down, and contem plated tholcountless images of stone; in their nick s, their stiffened lips loosen- . s ed, I Ilea • their voices, hymns; the whole pi/ becomes melody ; the swell of separate tones melts into one gigan tic symphony. As the twelfth hour approached, mul titudes came running from every side. They were all'eager to see this curiosity of mediaeval, times ; although the clock, adapted by this aged mathematician, Sehwilgue, to the present state of sci ence, has now been going for four yeats. My friend at last appeared, and We had barely time to push our way through the crowd, and to ascend the small win ding staircase which leads into the four stales of the clock, and the small bal cony in which we were suspended like swallows against the mathematical mo nunlent, looking down perpendicularly upon-a dense mass of heads, Whoseeyes and lips were all fixed upon ;one point. On one of the lower galleries,. ,an angel, guarded by lions which formerly roar ed, and holding a ;scepter and bells in its hands, strikes the quarters, audano . flier turns round the hour glass. In an 'upper space, the fair ages of life then step forward ; the child strikes the first quarter, with its thyrsus, upon: a bell; the youth strikes the half hour with his arrow, the armed warrior the third quar ter with his sword, and the old man the fourth with his crutch; then Death appears, and strikes the hour with his bone ; and, as the sound of the last [ stroke dies away, the figure of Christ conies forward lin a yet higher story, I and raises its right arm as for a bless ing ;. the twelve apostles, one after the othei , ; pass before him, and in passing incline themselves before the Saviour, who, in conclusion, gives his blessing to the spectators. Their eyes, in the meanwhile, turn to the cock, who sits proudly high up on a small tower; he ,flaps his wings, stretches out his head sold tail, ruffles his neck, and thrice his shrill crowing sounds load and 'clear.: Among the old paintings which adorn the case of the clock, ono of - the most conspicuous is Ow portrait of Coperni cus, according to whose system the planetarium, which is over the; gallery of the lions, is elected. At the moment when Galileo was condemned, the scir entitle men. of ;Strasburg protested a gainst the judgment, and erected a mon ument to the Polish astronomer in this aittral clock, which, like a trophy of tl i uth, is placed in the sanctuary. After the exhibition was concluded, we step ped into the interior of , the astronomi cal works, which are wound up once in eight days, and in which endless com binations of wheels were revolving perfect silence. A solemn and myste ,rious sensation seizes upon one here, as if one were in the worship of the spirits of the houris. The conception is cer tainly a lofty one, that of showing forth the whole structure of .the heave s.— Behold that small wheel, the only pur iose of which is to make a 2 tak s' the place of - a 1, when the second thousand' years of the . ehristian era shall 'aye elapsed. On last. New Year's eve the whole was illuminated—the interior, also ; and all the aisles of the church were crowded wit hspectatork The in- crest which was e•::+ited was intense, when, with the twelfth stroke of the clock a 70 sprang into the place of the 00 after the 18. The man I who explained it all to uti, a mere laborer, exclaimed, with lmuch warmth, " One would al- post suppose that the machine can It.mah es one think of the blood vhich circulates throtigh the veins of he human body." - Farmers'.
