During the early spring, the valleys a round the base of the Upper Alps furnish pasturage for large flocks. At a great alti tude, and shut out from the light of the sun on all sides by the mountains, the herbage is of scanty growth, and as the season advan ces, soon becomes exhausted, so that the shepherds are forced to seek fresh pasturage farther up the mountain sides. Having found a suitable spot, they start with their flocks upon the toilsome ascent, Dark vales and yawning abysses have to be crossed, bar ren wasfes and treacherous glaciers travers ed; and as they advance on their "joitrney, the wearied and way-worn flacks become dis couraged, stray nod lag hehind, until they can neither be led nor driven fartbei. Then it is that the shepherd resorts to an expedi ent that never fails He takes in his arm:i little lamb from the hock, and holding it so that all can see, he climbs over the wastes of rock and ice to the sheltered fields of green beyond. The rest of the flock follow, lured onward by the bleetitig of that one little lamb., Finally, the goal is reached, where, in some cloud-encirclect i glen, Nature unfolds her emerald wealth, making summer seem but the more lovely front its *icy surround= lags. What a lesson may be drawn from this artifice practised by the simple minded 'Swiss Shepherd. As we toil upwards and onpards in life's great journey, our pathway at times is rugged ; steep,-and lies-through dark' ra vines, "where there is no light." We long again for the bright scenes that lie far below, us in the spring-time of our youth; but those pastures are exhaused—it cannot be. Be• fore us lies "the dark valley of the shadow," but our spitits are faint, and footsore and weary we sink by the wayside. But, "Let us be patient; these severe afflictions Not from the ground arise. Btit oftentimes celestial beneili tions Assume this dark disguise." Then it is that our Good Shepherd takes ' from our flock one in whom is centred our brightest hopes and tenderest feelings, and carrying it before us, leadssui onward to the bright realms above,—making light out of the darkness that intervenes, so that we no longer dread the.shadows that encompass us. We seek but to reach those green fields in that Haven of Repose, where, safe from all harm, under the fostering care and guidance of our Shepherd, we are at rest, and 'eternal summer reigns. Let us not murmur, then, at, what seems to be a mysterious and unfathomable dispea• tuition of Providence. If all below was per mitted to be just as we could wish, and we were allowed ever to enjoy the society of those near and dear to us, we should be but illy prepared for the great hereafter. Hut in' His wisdoin, the Creator thus draws our thoughts towards heavens thus paves the way-ter-us,and-lead ius-to-desire-better - t prepar9 ourselves to meet again in His man sions those we have loved upon earth, and to fit ourselves to enjoy the tnanifola blessings - h - e --- has promised tothose that believe in Him, and - walk in His ways.—.Aloore's Ru• rtl 1.

QUEER MATRIMONIAL FREAK.--A letter from a citizen of Livingston oouity, Ky., to the Danville Tribune, relate!, the follow ing bit of family history in that neighbor-• hood: "A widow lady took an orphan boy to raise, quite small, and when arrived at the age of eighteen, she married him she then being in her fiftieth year. They lived many years together, happy as any couple. Ten years ago they took an orphan girl to raise. This fall the old - lady died, being 96' years of age, and in seven weeks after, the old man married the girl they. had raised, he being 68 years old, and she 18." "Dr., Parson," said a gentleman . to the great "Grecian," with, whom he had been disputing, "Dr. Parson, my opinion of you is most contemptible." "Sir,".returned the doctor, "I never knew . an opinion of yours that was not contempti ble.' "My dear Polly, I am surprised at your taste in wearing an another woman's hair on your bead," said Mr. Smith to his wife.— 'My dear Joe, I am equally astonished that you persist in wearing another sheep's Wool on your back. There now !" Poor Smith was floored ! Many parsons have their best society in their own heaits and souls—the purest mem ories of earth and the: sweetest hopes of heaven; theit loneliness cannot be called sol itude. RIMEL—Of present fame think little and of future less; the praises that:we receive after we are buried, like the posies that arc strewed over our grave, may be gratifying to the living, but they are nothing to the dead; the dead arc gone, either to a -place where they hear them not, or whore, if they do, they will despise them.
