It is easy to love when eye meets eye, And the glance reveals the heart; When the flush on the creek can the soul bespeak, And the lips ,in gladvss part; There's a thrilling bliss in it loving kiss, And a spell in a kindly tone, And the spithath chains of tenderness • To fettor and bind its own. But a holier spell and a-deeper joy For a purtr fountain flow, • ' When the soul sends higher its;incense fire, And rests no more below: When the heart goes up to the gate 'of heaven, -And haws before the throne, . • And striking its harp for sins forgiven, Calls the Saviour all its own.

SIZE DIED SO YOUNG. se-her-in-the-monag-hour No inure-she greets my eight ; They buried her beneath the flowers, The flowers gay and bright; One evening in the springtime fair, With music on her tongue ; She pass'd away, and in despair We wept for ot.o so young. The violets sweet and beautiful, Still lingered in their liars ; Why lived she not as long as they, . - Her nature was like theirs ; And yet what boots this idle verse, Why should my heart be wrung ; She level, me not—ilien why should I • Mourn that she died so young. Beware of the Wine-Cup. All the martyrs who have fallen in the beastly wars of Bacchus, were drafted from the battallions of moxierate drinkers. Past experience shows us that it is dangerous to drink moderately. The man of ill-trained pride, who desires to show his power of re sisting; temptation—the man who says "1 can Zink and not get drunk, or be a drun kard"—is standing on slippery ground, and is ibrtunate if he does not tali. He is tam pering with a two-edged sword, and skirmish ing with that wily foe, the serpent awl the still. If the man, unaccustomed to the us of ardent spirits, can justify an excuse for taking a "little think.," how can he a'oid the tempting wine-cup when he shall have acquired a thirst for it ? That thirst comes on imperceptibly and by degrees. The worm of the still creeps unheard, and winds its•coil slowly around Its victim. Then • Beware of the wine•rup, Oh! mortals beware ! Fora liCatily and uncurious serpent lurks there, Thu' the hues ut the mousier are pleasing and futr Bt ware of the serpent, Oh ! mortals beware! There are others who, perhaps, at first would not so willingly drink, if left to them selves, but declare that they cannot refuse the pressing invitation of warm -friends.-- Though these old friends are not dragging angels down, yet perhaps they are: leading their associates to perdition. There are oth ers more depraved and inure blamable than these. I allude to those urea who openly declare their sprees and the fun they have. thus enjoyed, I cannot think there is mush hope fur such. Deaf to the voice of con science, and to the Whisperings of pride, they are almost irretrievably gone. They may spend their youth in 13aechanalian rev elries, and dancefor a while the giddy drun lard's round; yet, the harvest of life will come, and then nothing will be reaped but sorrow.

Never yet has there been a wan ting to take the wanderer in and shut on the darkness of the storm. Upon these little faces, it never seemed to us, that death could place its great seas; there is no thought of the carnal house in those young listeners to, that invitation, - whose ac ceptance we are bona not to forbid; there should be morning " gongs and sighs; fresh TV )t - ba c ot ' - ----",* •no tears- AO firers lulu no ....A11,54.;:" luvuluaug j or clouds, but bright dews and bright dawn ings together.

Here the glad lips would quiver with an guish; the bright curls grow grizzled and gray; the young hegrt weary and old; but there, changeless as the stars, and young as the last new morning. The poet tells us of the green bough rent -by the tempest, swept rudely along the breast of an angry river, and a mother bird with cries of grief uttering beside it, for her nest and nestlings were there. Oh ! bet ter to be wafteci`away from earth thus, than that they should drift around the world in storm. When children turn immortal we should write: Sublime Picture of Old Age. Ile greatly errs who imagines that old age cannot be beautiful. There is naturally but one disease—that of old age. -To leave the world as gently as go out the embers of the hearth or as the can dle in its socket, without pain, shock, or spasm, this is worth taking pains for I Lit erally, the lot is terrible of a man with , tot tering limbs and gray hairs; dying by piece meal, from racking rheumatism, from spas modic withina—from torturing gout, or the sldw eating cancer—the mind all the while, by reason of' incessant pain, growing More querulous, bitter, and atheistic !

To this it would seem there could be but one answer. And there is but one._ Thank Heaven I , that answer the nation is beginning to give. The money must be fur- , niched, the men must be furnished. So say the people, from Maine to the Pacific, and so it shall be. .Does any one suppose that if we show the same earnestness and solf-deni il which the Rebels', have shown that there. can be a particle of doubt about the result ? Suppbae we put every, available man intethe field, nos they have done, suppose we waive our ordinary business for the time, and concentrate all our energies upon this one work, suppose we wage war with all the ear-• oestness of raal warfare, does any rational man believe that the result can be in the least doubtful. And' does any man who-un derstands the aims and the character of the Rebel leaders think for amoment that,if we were 'actuated by merely selfish mothes, vs , :e can afford to allow them to conquer? It is a question not alone of suppressing rebellion but of preserving our own peace and inde pendence anti self-respect in the future.— This the people are beg inning to understand as they should. And does any one who . knows the true men of these loyal States be lieve that they can hesitate in such a crisis ? rust the.-pe oi In of this foul rebellion they have been true as steel to the great principles they profess.— They have met every demand the Govern ment has made on them, and made it cheer fully and bravely. • They will meet every fu ture demand. They will never allow this fair heritage to be blighted by the triumph of the accursed rebellion. They will remain faithful. to the.. end, and Heaven will crown their 'fidelity and patriotism with success.— Let every man of us move at once, and do what in him lies to speed the happy day of triumph. Now is the hour to show wheth er 'wanting' must be written against our names after we have been weighed in the scales in which Heaven has uow placed us. —American The Army in Summer. Some persons seem to have the idea that active operations in the field are going to be suspendid till fall. Nothing of the kind.— We are not likely to have much warmer wea ther than that during which our army has already fought so vigorously. Besides, the enemy will forego nothini',,, to our injury (I), account of the season, and we can stand ser vice better than they can. This fact was conclusively proved by the statistics of the Mexican, war. How would the British ever put down the Sepoy rebelpon if they had not taken the field resolutely in a climate far "hotter and more debilitating than any which prevails in this country ?

One morning Sandy rose bent on a quarrel; the huddles and eggs were ex cellent, done on a turn, and bad beenorig,r ed .by himself the previous evening; Old breakfast passed without the looked-fur cause of complaint. "What will you have for dinner, Sandy?'' said Mrs. Black. "A chicken, madam." "Boast or boiled?" "Confound it, maim, if you had been a good and considerate wife you'd have known before this what I liked." Sandy' growled out, and, slamming the door behind him, left the house. It was in spiing,`. and a friend who was present heard , the little wife. say, "Sandy is bent on a disturbance to-day; %Lill to The dinner-time came, and Sandy and his friend sat down to dinner, the fish was eaten in silence, and, on raising the cover of the dish before Min i in a towering passion. he called out, "Boiled chicken?

"Madam, I won't eat roast chicken," roar ed Sandy; "you know how it should have been cooked !" At the instant a broiled chicken, with mushrooms, was placed on the table. "Without green peas!" roared the grum bler. "Hero they are, dear," said Mrs. Black. 'Mow dare you spend my mouez in that way?" "They 'were a present," said the wife in terrupting hiin. Rising from his chair and rushing froth' the room, amidst a roar of laughter from his friends, he clenched his 'fist and shouted, "How dare you receive a present without my leave !"
