Fate may threaten, clouds may lower, ,Elnenties may be combined, If your trust in God is steadfast, We remember a-very comical bear that be longed to Mr. Hammond, and amused with his tricks the mirth-loving people of Paris, in Oxford county, many years ago. Ile was captured when a little cub, and was brought up by laud as one of the family. He claimed the warmest place on the hearth -stone, and nestled in cold weather with .the dogs before the fire. None of the pet animals about the farm were tamer than he; and none loved better to climb up into his mister's lap and receive his caress, or understood the whims of his mistress when begging for a choice morsel his serious countenance always gave great effect to his antics; and he seemed to understand when he caused a laugh among the household. As he was of a prying dis position, and forever peeping into every hole, the fain;ly were obliged to lock up everything, even the closets where they kept their clot h• ing When lie took it Into his head to make up a nest, it was all the same to him wheth er the articles he heaped together were wool len or fur, cotton or silk If a hen cackled when the egg was laid, Mr. Bear unders• toed it as well as any of the family or the feathered tribe; and tf he was not prevent ed, he would find it and suck it before...lh' ea ek her song. One :Sunday the family went to church, and left the bear alone at home. Bruin im proved the opporturity, and runiaged all over the house in search 01 fun or something to eat. Unfortunately, the good houffe-wile had left the cellar door unlocked, and ajar; and it was not long before the bear discovered it 'and crept down the stairs. Once down in the cellar, lie espied the molasses barrel, and if there was anything in the house he was es• cessively fond of, it was molasses or honey. Bruin pawed over the barrel, licked the tight ly.driven bang, and was about abandoning it in despair, when he espied the spile. Grasp• ing it with his strong teeth, ho easily with drew it, and out came the molasses in a steady stream, to the great 'delight of the bear, wile clapped his month to the hole, and sucked away with grunts of self-satisfaction. The molasses still flowed, and still the bear kept hid mouth to the oriflae, pausing now and then to take a long breath. At length he was full; his stomach could hold no more; yet his appetite was not satisfied, He squat ted on his haunches and viewed the still run ning stream with disgust, to think that the supply_ was so abundant, and that, alas ! he could hold no wore. The molasses had now run out io large quantity, and had formed a grtat pool on the floor; but Brain dove in to it,.and rolled himself'a thousand times in the thick fluid, until his shaggy coat was covered from his nose to his tail, with molas ses, dirt, and glove, stones;" - There he lay in the sweet pool, the pic ture of self satisfaction, as cats roll and tum ble in a field of the catnip herb. All at once Mr. Bear became sick at the stomach ! and it was a new sensation to him—something ho had never felt before. As he grew verso he thought of his master and mistress; and so crept up stairs to ask fur their consolation ; but they bad not returned from church.— Then he crawled up another story, and got into the girl'& bed, drawing the snowy white sheets over his besmeared form. There he lay groaning and grunting ; the sickest bear.

Wealth. - Wealth isnot; cannot he-the heritage - of all. The tact Dra man being Wealthy, be coming a subject ofTernark, is because he . mansion towering in its rnagnifi , 3ence and splendor, know that close' by there is a Lord. Viren — you see a man in splendid attire 'in pirrille . and' in fine litieit-Tkikovt.that another is nacessarily_io rags. W hen you see a large city, know there is not far from it a hundred little villag_es_this_coneentration_of-wealth, these large possessions by one person neces sarily implies their absence elsewhere., If one wan possess much wealth, another must necessarily be poor. 11 cities become very populous the eau n try--and—villaoms—ln us t—in a corresponding degree be thinly populated until the city, as it is popularly expressed s fl=i-ws.,!---t-tfesh-e-reirtri.rurecis-or—eumpetr , - sates the country for what she once dreiv flout it While the possession of wealth in a considerable degree by one man necessarily implies its durance in others, and quite with in the province of the wealthy to reimburse and compensate the less successful by a judicious use o f their treasure. Victor iluo's Jean Valjean, by his manufactory, gave sur poet and happiness to hundreds.— George Peabody by his gins has, - after- he- Leeauie wealthy, lies cd both Europe and A merica, and has thereby added to his own happiness. While the love of wealth is a sin, money itself its a glorious gift and treloi_ure,_that_ ,buildi 'colleges, (diuretics and asylums, edu c lies orphans, builds and sends out mission ary ships, and contributes every way to, the elevation-and happiness of - humanity. Let it - never - be - forgotten that wealth and wisdom, money and usefulness ought to go together. Then the possession of wealth in a consider• able degtee, by one person, will be a blessing and not a curse. This wide and painful dif ference in the pecuniary conditions of men has long existed, and may continue to the end of time. Contentment is good philosophy and the best equalizer. A HUNDRED YEARS TO COME.—TO-tiny w e are striving, pushing; grasping after wealth, honor, power, and pleasure. The poor claim wealth that. they may be above want, the rich seek to add to their countless thousands: So are we, rushing forward, reckoning not of the final result of our pro bationary existence No one appears to think how neon he must sink into oblivion —that we are one generation of millions.— Yet such is the fact. Time and progress have, through countless ages, •come march ing hand in hand—the one destroying, the other building up. They seem to 'create little or no emotion, and the work of destrue tion is as easily and silently accomplished as a child will pull to pieces a rose Vet such is the fact. A hundred years hence and very much that we now see atound us will too have passed away It is but the repiti lion of life's story, we are born, we live, we die; and hence we will not grieve over those venerable piles, finding the common level of their prototypes in nature, an ultimate death. We all within our graves shall sleep, A huntireil years to come; No living soul for na will weep 13ut oilier into our lan 4 will till, And otlt r men Our streets will fill; And Whig biuds wit sing as gay, As bright the s ,n slimes as to day, A hundred years to come. now truly did Shakespeare say, 'I am never werry whan I helr sweet music.' How of ten has a o.olden sunset or a silver night trrnuolit atti --- ts to the fiCll-3. (sadness without pain ' Or the lapse of some free river, or the strains of some sweet tune, filled eyes with tears that had no thought of sor row. And the landscapes whose flowers grow close to the edge of heaven, that with such charm of summer, nun and shade, make ves tibules for Paradise, and us willing to ba gone—how often di they grow dim before our eyes, and yet there is no pain. Sometimes, i n breathless nights, when earth is full of leaves and sky of stars, there seems a melancholy music in the mere shin ing of the moon, and We wish it would linger forever. And why me there things so, un less that we are born to something fairer than this cloudy world ? Memory consecrates the past to beauty, and binds the thought there to with links of loveliness, sweeter to bear than garlands of fresh flowers. The chain that chafed, grows smooth and bright by wearing, and , we are willing prisoners as we go. Avd by and by, this tether of the heart, as time runs on shall guide us back again to childhood, whence the transition unto heav en 'is as easy as a dream. AT nom E.—The highest style of being at home grows out of a special state of the affactious rather than of the intellect. Who has not met with individuals whose faces would be a pasport to any society, and whose manners, the unstudied and spontaneous ex pressions rf their inner selves, make . thorn visibly welcome wherever they go, and attract unbounded confidence toward thr-in in what ever they undertake ? They are frank. be cause they have nothing to conceal; affable, because their natures overflow with benevo lence, unflurried, because they dread noth ing, always at home, because they carry within themselves that which can trust to itself anywhere and everywhere—purity of soul ; with fullness of heart. Such are our best .uarantees for feeling at home in all so. ciety to which duty calls us, and in every occupation upon whiab it obliges us to enter. They ••ho live for p themselves are the least cmbar wised by uncertainties. The - Earl - tufa the }reheat Fender. A farmer called on the Earl Fitztvilliatu to repre , ent, to him that his clop of wheat had Geed seriou•ity injured - in a field adjoining a ' certain wood where his lordship's hounds had during the winter frequently met to hunt,. lie stated that the young wheat had been so cut up and destroyed that in some parts he could not hope for any produze. I Well, my friend,' said- his lordship, 'Lam a ware_ that we have frequently mot in that field, and that we have done considerable _ , _ in jury;and if you can procure an estimate of he lo ss you Gave sustained I will repay you ' The farmer replied, that anticipatinc , his lord ship's consideration and kindueisujo_hu.d_m_. quested a friend - to assist him is estimating the damage; and they thought that as the crop- seemed--quite destroyed, fifty-pounds would not more than repay him. The Earl immediately - gave him thc - money. As the harvest, however, approached, the wheat grew, and in those parts of the field which were most trampled the corn was strongest and most luxuriant. The farmer went — again to hie lordship, and Wing intro duced, said, am come, my lord, respecting the field of wheat abjoitling sueh a Wood:— le —iiif cuinstanco. 'Well. my friend, did not I al. low yea sufficient to remunerate you for your loss ?"Yes, my lord, ffind that I have sus tained no loss at all for where the horses had most cut up the land the crop is most prom ising, and I have therefore brought the fifty pounds back again. "Ah !' exclaimed the • venerable earl, 'this is what I like ; this is as it should be between man and man.' He then entered - into Conversation with the-farm er. asking him some que3tions about his fam ily—how many children he had, &e. His lordship then went into another room, and returning, presented the farmer w ith cheque—for—die—ll u od red—poundssaying,— 'Take care of this, and when your eldest son is of age, present it to him, and tell him the occasion that produced it.' We know not which to admire most, the honesty - of the farmer on the one hand, or on the other, the benevolence and the wisdom displayed by this 'lllustrious man; for while doing a noble act of generosity, he was handing down a les son of integrity to another generation.— Gol den Sheaves. A prudent old gentleman offers the follow ing rules for self-government - : - --- Always sit next the carver, if you can, at dinner. Ask no woman her age. • Be civil to all rich uncles and aunts. Never joke with a policemen. Take no notes with you to a fancy bazaar; nothing but 'postal.' • Your oldest hat, of course for an evening party. Don't play at chess with a widow. Never contradict a man who studies. Pull down the blind before you put on your wig Make friends with the steward on board a steamer; there's no knowing how soon you may be placed in his power. In every strange house it is as well to in• quire where the brandy is kept, only think it' you were taken ill in the middle of the night I Never answer a crossing•sweeper; pay him, or pass silently and quickly on, One word and you are lost. Keep your own secrets. Tell no human being you dye your whiskers. Write not one more letter than you can help . The man who holds a large corres pondence is a martyr tied, not to the stake, but the post. Wind up your conduct like a watch, once every day, examine minutely whether you are 'last' or 'slow' AN UNSPOTTED CIIAILACTEE —Money is a goca thing, especially in those hard times, but there is sotnething a thousand times more valuable. It is a character—the conscious ness of a pure and honorable life'. This should be a man's first aim to preserve at any cost. In times of commercial distress, while some are proved and found wanting, others comp forth tried as by fire. Here one comes out of the furnace far more of a man than before. Amid the wreck of misfortune he stands erect—a noble specimen of fine manhood. We have occasionally witnessed an example of courage in such a crisis, of moral intrepidity that deserved all honor. Let it be the aim of every business man, above all things else,. to keep this purity un stained. This is the best possession—this is the capital which can never be taken from him—thi3 is the inheritance which he can leave his children. 'WHAT SDALL THAT BOY DO r—Who will tell?

A Quaker and a 13sptist were traveling together in a stage coach The latter took every opportunity of ridiculing the former on account cit his religious profession. At length they came to a heath, where the body of •a malefactor, lately executed, was banging in chains on a gibbet. 'I wonder now,' said the Baptist, 'what religion this man was of !' Perhaps,' replied the Quaker coldly, 'he was a Baptist, and they have hung him np to dry. APRIL 18; 1869.- tristiiiitatemiti Death Jerome.Vardan relates that eight reapeti, who were, eating their diaper uoder - an• oak tree, Weft!, all stinek by the same flail) of lightning, the'explosion of which was heard . far away.

Like those - mentioned above, they had profited by necessary suspension of labor. to enjoys_frug,al — meal. A touching detail, re lated by the Rev. Mr. Huller, who natrow . s escaped beings victim to the same storm, shows with what rapidity the whole of this joyous - group bad been deprived of life.— One of the unfortunatCbeings had a dog in his lap at the moment the lightning fell.— Whilst lie caressed the animal with one hand, 'h the her h , f) fe• with the oth. ,e offered it n piece of bread. Both the man and the dog were petrified, as it ware, in this position. The paralyzed hand still held the piece 01 bread, and the expres sion on the animal's fnee seemed to say, 'Give me some more!' To die with the rapidity of lightning is to die as rapidly as thought itself; for the flash which kills so quickly lasts a time as brief as that which but shows us-the spokes of the wheels of a locomotive—as that which but enables 119 to see immovable in the air the ball which flies through darkness from the cannon's mouth . l A - REFUL 'FATHER.IT - ADVICE.-3otne years ago there lived in the back part of Duchess county, New York, a rich old farm er, wh.) was a decided reprobate, and like many other sinners, very much afraid of ,death. At one time his only son, Ezekiel, was taken ill with the small pox. The old man was very much afraid of the contagion, - and could not be induced to visit his Buffer ing heir. At length Ezekiel was pronounced to be in an almost hopeless condition, and the old man was 'informed that if he ever wished to speak with him again in this world, he must avail himself of - this opportunity.— In a chamber on the ground floor of the wing of the house frootinon the garden, lay the sick man, covered with pustules, and blind from swelling of the eyelids. The father, trembling WRY - fear, went oat from the kitchen into the garden; and after find. ing his way through the usual ntimber'of hollyhocks, an d marigolds, lie at length reached the open window of the sick room There crouched ot-the ground, to remove himself as far as possible from the cotagion,, he called out, 'Zeke l"What, !either,' re sponded the sufferer. 'Zeke, tb9y say you are right bad, and there if Detopes; try and pray a little, 'cause if yer get well it won't hurt yer, and cf you'die it will be a good thing.' SENSIBLE ADVICE.—Some lady thus SCD sibly advises her sex :—The young married woman who would continue to exercise the same influence over the husband, that she . formerly did over the lover, must make use of similar means. Too many young women imagine that they need no lancer study to please when they have secured' a husband) that. they need no longer wear a happy smile on his approach, nor study neatness and taste in their daily apparel, but on the contrary meet him at every tura with a peevish fret fulness, and with apparel' in disorder and neglect. Think on these things young wo• men, and by acting on them you will secure happiness to yourselves as well as to your husbands, you will never regret it. BADLY TREATED.—A maiden lady, re siding in great seclusion, bad not been to church for a long time; but on the acces sion of a small family property, she bought herself a new bonnet, shawl and dress, with the appropriate gloves, boots, &0., and ap peered the following Sabbath in a style which almost destroyed her identity with the pith• erto, shabby and hopeless old maid. Just as she wan walking up the aisle, and as ev ery eye seemed turned upon her, the choir commenced singing an anthem, the burden of which was'llallelojsh ! Hallelujah The indignant spinster retraced her steps down the aisle in high dudgeon, exclaiming, 'hard• ly knew you,' itideed ! Why this is not the first time I've been dressed up. `Hardly knew you l' I guess I don't come here a gain vary soon.' A NEW VOTER. -One of the physicians of Burlington, Irt , while driving into town was met by afriend, who hailed him with the question if he had voted. 'No yet,' said - the doctor; 'bat I have been out all night after a voter. 1 got him too.' 'When will he vote ?' 'O, about twenty-one years from now.' 'A b, I see. Not bad. Well, look after him doctor, and see that be votes right.' 'No fear; he can't go wrong with the name he's got. His father is a Democrat, but when I told him be had a boy, and asked him what be would name him, be said:— 'Ulysses Grant, by thunder.' So he'll do.'

A CASE...--In the court of special cessions a man named Smith was arraigned for steal ing a dem'john containing three ! gallons of whi;key. Are you guilty or not guilty r asked the clerk. 'Wall, you can call it what you likei ; I tuk the wlliakey, that I admit, and drinhed it too.' You took it without leave, did you not ?"I never wait to be asked when that article's around.' In order to amuse the children on a Sab- bath, a lady was engaged in reading from a Bible the story of David and Goliah, and, coming to that passage in which Gofish so boastingll, and defiantly __dared the young stripling, a little chap, almost in his first trowsers, rigid :'Skip that—he's blowing; I want to know wiich licked.'

The Huntingdon Globe says there is a little colored boy in that town by the name of Harry Glantz, who we learn knows ball of the New Testament, and he has been known to come home from church and repeat the sermon of the minister almost verbatim. He is as black as ebony. Somebody wrote a song : would I were a Boy Again.' Those who brought him up are not likely to wish anything of the kinl. Raising a boy once is as much as anybody wants to do. They stay grown up and have boys of their own to afflict them, • The ordinary mode of churning in Chili is to put the milk in a skin— usually ado; skintie it toe donkey, mount a boy on him with rowels to his spurs about the length of the animate ears, and then run him four• mile heats. Ms altogether too absurd to say that 'man is not perfect.' Who is there that has not met with many who were perfect strangers, and some who were perfect ras cals, and not a few who were perfect fools? A lady living in Louisville has a husband who snores—she keeps a clothes-pin under her pillow, and when his snoring awakes her, she puts it on his nose, then sleeps in peace.
