What lessons are embodied in thy teach; lags ! stern lessons, as we in our days of hope and happiness, could never think of encoun tering, as we set sail under sunny skies, and our bark glided pleasantly over smooth wa ters; we did not dream of the clouds, the +storm, and the tempest, that come all too *eon and awoke us from our fond security. Time, the grout itioaitWof all hearts, teach es us the undeniable and stern truth, that change is written on all things; but the sad dest is death. Oh how terrible is the wreck of hearts and homes, when the messenger, resistless and unerring in his march, takes from our midst the brave and strong; prayer and tears are of no avail; life's lesson we must all learn, life's burdens we must bear. Who has not seen some of their loved ones wr4ped in the cold cerement"- of the grave' and borne to the innumerable city of the dead ? When we remembered that in all our wanderiUgs through lice's paths we should meet them no more, see their kindly beaming smile, hear their loved tones no -more, have we not, in anguish of soul, utter ed the wail of a' bleeding' heart, 'let me die, for in all this broad earth I have nought to live for;but we cannot die when we wisk to most; we way weep at many a grave before we reach our own.

Th e :anti is sardea of the ilead I Aunt Sally, as the village mmally called her, had received the bulk of her property from a deceased,aunt, which her shrewd bus iness qUalfries had enabled her to invest so advantageously that she increased in wealth as she died in years, and like many other , eople r -welt-advanted-in •re, ha. affectiohate young relatives. Ilor cold, gray oyes were too shrewd not to see through their eager atteutious to the selfishness •of their source. One nephew, however, did not belong to this class of schemers. On the contrary, the old lady was often the victim of his jokes, and he would dispute with her just for the fun of having a hot argument., Yet, for any real service; she would apply to him oftener than to any one else.diShe had even lent him - a sum sufficient - to - stock a fine store, but-1 still this Frederick so often , anoyed and vexed her that sublic o sinion was pretty evenly divided as to w ite heir, or be out off with a shilling. One-evening, , upon_the_meeting of the parish sowing circle at the house o f the clergyman, this nephew perpetrated ejolce -upon-his aunt, the result of which she never torgot. She, unlike many maiden ladies, considered these gatherings a sort of fashion able nuisance, but usually was present for the sake of indulging in her sarcastic re marks. Her nephew '-was- there ostensibly to wait, upon his aunt, but the fair Lucy, daughter of the worthy practitioner; Dr. mood, particularly allured him with her charms. The evening pasiied off pleasantly, and when-thn-party-broke-up'-as--Fredericle—Was taking leave of his friends, with his aunt 'upon one arm and Lucy upon the other, the old lady suddenly reikeinbered that she had lefehor "0, never mind, aunt," said the young man, " I will get it and send it to you in the morning." "But Ido Mind, Fred Strong ; for it is not my way to leave \ things about in this tuanner. But where can it be I certainly left it with my bonnet and cloak." .

He had amassed' sulficieatmeans to pay his aunt the stun she lent him, hut she dechaed re ceiving it, alleging that she preferred to have it remaining on interest. In the meantime he had persuaded the gentle Lucy to share his fortunes. As tor Aunt Sally, a singular mania seemed to possess her. In matters of real estate, stocks &c., she had become a perfect. alchemist, turning, all into gold The neighbors looked on in wonder, - but none ventured to remonstrate with her.— She was often seen to visit the office of Squire A— and it was rumored that she was making hor final arrangements for the bestowal of her property after her decease. The affair of the muff was not forgotten, and 4 f was current with the vinegars that Fred would have to pay dearly for his joke. , One morning the village was all in action. During-the_ night the spirit of the redoubta ble lady had, talcenThts—flight- She_ was found decd in' her arm-Chair, and died .as she had lived—alone.
