I saw a wayside flower, and said, from this
1 will gather instruction. The passer by had
not deigned to look upon it, and it had stood
unheeded and unappreciated all the day long,
wasting its perfume upon :he passing breeze
This lesson the little flower taught tile : that,

fair and beautiful beings, who, because they
are unobtrusive, are unappreciated. •
I resolved to seek far beauty and goodness
everywhere, and make my own choice of the
beautiful expressions of God's love strewn
along life's pathway. The kind Father's
hand has left no place desolate. The world
is-full of life and beauty. The sky above
vies with the earth beneath in splendor and
conscious gladness; there is no sight or sound
in nature but speaks of - joy and praise—from
the birds, the insects, the waving trees, the
sunlight spreading a golden mantle over all
nature. The sweet sounds that come to the
ear, set to the exquisite music of 'stature's
own heart, all toll of love, deep and pure,th'at
distills on human health as dew upon the
wayside flower. The chorus of nature is as
a wave on the great ocean of eternity, to he
wafted oaward, and break at last before the
throne of the Invisible. How strikingly the
blight of nature tells, by its fate, the knowl
edge it has of human destiny- Surely it was
• fashioned for a happier world.

Immortality of Love
I never saw a man who did not believe in
the immortality of love, when following the
body of a lojed one to the grave. I have
seen men under other circumstances that did
- b - cliffe - itTit, but I never saw a man that,
when her he really loved lay streached out
for burin:, did not • revolt from saying; "it
has all come to that; the hours of sweet com.
panionship; the wondrous interlacings o f
tropical souls; tlnkkys the hopes, the trusts,
the unutterable y rnings—there they all
lie." No man can stand and look into a cof
fin upon the body of a fellow-creature, and
remember the flaming 49telligence, blo•som•
ing, love, the whol ,„ divine faculties
which so lately nimated that cold clay, and
any. "These eve all collapsed and ,one.'

New Year's Story for Young Men
As an incentive to save, and an evidence
of how rapidly capital judiciously invested
will enerease, w may mention a littleln
cident that has just come to our knowledge.
A few days ago the circle of aetive business
men was she y the announcement of
the sudden death of Edward C. Dale, Esq ,
president of the Norristown Railroad Com
pany, and vice-president of the Franklin
Fire Insurance Company. In 1850, sixteen
years ago, Mr. Dale retired from the office of
prothoreitary of the District Court of this
city, with, $14,900 as the net proceeds of
nis tenure in office, and, as he at the time a
vowed about all of his earthly possessions.—
This sum he placed in the hands of Amos
Phillips, a personal friend and shrewd mana
ger of money; without written aeknowleds
ment, to be used as his own, and to make re
turn to him or to his heirs when called on.
The fact of this deposit, thus made sixteen
years ago, was known in Mr. D.'s lifetime
only to y the parties immediately connected
with it, and 11r D. having died. suddenly,
leaving no will or other record of this partic
ular investment, from which ho had never
drawn anything, and which had steadly in
creased, his heirs, a son and daughter, on
Friday last, were not a little surprised to re
ceive from Mr. I'hillips, iu first-class secur
ities and cash, the handsome sum of $50,410.
Though Mr Dale had subserprotly made
and saved since his deposire of $14,900 with
Mr. Phillips, in 1850, a very handsome es
tate, these unknown securities paged over by
Mr. Phillips was a perfect wiudfall. The
growth of the deposit was mainly in interest
—the securities invested in being entirely
of a reliable character. At six per cent the
sum would double in about eleven years,
making, say, $30.000, and in seven years
since, about two fifths more would be added
to the $30.000, making , without speculative
ventures, the sum paid over - tothe heirs
This simple transaction demonstrates,the im.
portant fact that fifteen thousand dollars sav
ed and invested at thirty year's of age, is
worth as much as sixty thousand at fifty two!
years. Thus let the yelng remember the
important fact of beginning to lay up early

The North lilissouri Courier, published
at Hannibal, Mo., thus forcibly and' elo
quently speaks of irrepressible Sambo:
This is the-most irrepressible - -
tots personage in history. Th
made-out to be nobody; the-bigger - he - grows.
The more he is despised apparently, the more
important he becomes. The more he is tram
pled doWn, the higher be gets up. Call him
filthy, ignortint and disgusting, and he imme
diately creeps into our daily thoughts, and
becomes a subject of universal interest. Call
him a brute, and strange to say, all civilized
humanity begins to fight about it. ,Legislate
him into a chattel, and Heaven and earth
seems to be indignant. .Whip him, scarify
him with rawhides and manacles and the
branding iron, and his cries penilrate the u
niverse. God and man hear them, and the
very outposts of creation shiver with his fee
ble agony. Sell the bodiemond souls of his
children for gold and blunt every humane
feeling in the cursed lust of such gains, and
the red right arm of Omnipotence is made
bare and lays low in death the first born in
every household in the land. Persevere on
ly two or three generations in denying his
manhood and frustrating his elevation, and
the thunder and blood and smoke of thou
sands of battles, like the loosening of the ,
ApoCalyptic seals, roll in desolation ores half
a continent. Sambo is evidently a being of
vast importance, bit not on account of his
magnitude, but for the ream!' of his I•±ltt*
ness. Sambo, considered in himself and his
present attributes, is insignificant, but his
rights and his wrongs have made him the
most tremendously forcible character in mod.

didn't. The very effort only freshioned the
interest. Just as eachneav batch of politi%

out somewhere elie. The South itself swore
they would not agitate, and that nobody else
should agitate, and, behold, the oath is not
cold before the South i s convulsed i n
discussing him. Sambo wouldn't "down" at
the bidding of any mortal. He was:tnade by
God, and like creation seemed to come and
go at the beck of some mysterious power.—
The effort to suppress him has been as vain
as the pride of Canute, who tried to coin
mend the ocean ta obey. We wave the Rand
imperiously, stamp thefroTat - , - and bid him be
gone. But no, Sambo is• still there. His
presence, in the representation of his cause,
at least, stands before the kings--:is found
in cabinets and congresses—sits down at ev
ery fireside in this nation—talks in our bed

difficulty is this—Sont6o is a, man, God
made, and gifted with an immortal soul—
endowed with the eualienahle rights of bu•
man nature—the right to himself, his chil
dren, his privileges and his possessions? Is
it nut 'plain that "the matter" in this case is
that his manhood and his rights have been
denied, taken from him by force and injus
tice and insult heaped upon him? To cure
the agitation is it not as evident we must re
move the cause? To get rid of Sambo we
have only to do him justice—let him alone
in the enjoyment, of his rights. Concede
what ought never to have- been denied, his
claim to equal rights, and the turmoil ceases
forever. It would have ceased years ago on
the same conditions. But just so sure as
there is justice in the heavens and the sense
of it among men, the agitation must contin•
ue until the last particle of his God-given
rights is made secure.

tendencies of the erring.
For instances, a yeang man takes a mis

might remedy? If he is one whose aspira

alive by the iindictivenetfs of a gossiping,
mischief-making community (often the case),
he concludes from the merciless rigor with
which his name is handled and his churac

many are thus scourged into vice by the scor

four or five years of age, of Irish parentage,
in Bracken count . was in tke habit,_durin:
the whole of last Summer, of going out in
the woods near his home to play with his
"pretty things" as be called them. After

to see what attracted him so much•, when, to
her horror, she'discovered her little darling
boy playing with a trio of huge: black snakes,
wholly unconscious of his peril. The Loy
