'Please, sir, will you buy my cbestouts_n
'Chestnuts - IT - No !' returned Mr. Ralph
Moore, looking down upon the upturned face,
whose large brown eyes, shadowed by tangled
curls of flaxen hair, were appealing so piti
fully to his own, 'no, what do I want with
chestnuts ?'
'But, please sir, do buy 'em,' pleaded the
little one, reassured by the rough kindness
of his tone. %Nobody seems to care for 'em
—and—and—'
She fairly burst into tears, and Moore,
who had been'on the point of brushing by
her, stopped instinctively.
'Are you very much in want of the mon•
ey ?'
'lndeed, sir, we arc,' sobbed the child,
'mother sent me out, and—'
'Nay, little one, do not cry in such a
brokenhearted way,' stuootbiog her hair
down with careless keutleoess. 'I d ori't
want your chestnuts, but here is a quarter
for you, if that will do you any '' (rood.
Re did not stay to hear the delighted in
coherent thanks the child poured out through
a rainbow of smiles and tears, but strode on
his way, twittering between his teeth :

for the brown•eyed object did cry as if she
hadn't a friend in the world. flung it. I
wish I was rioleenough to help every poor
creature out of the Slough of Despond.'
While Ralph Moore was indulging in these
reflections, the-dark-robed little damsel whom
he bad confronted, was dasbiog down the
street with quick elaetic step, utterly regard
less of her basket of unsold nuts that dangled
upon her arm. Down .ria obscure lane she
darted, between tall ruinous rows of houses,
and 4up narrow wooden sttircases to a room
where a pale neat looking woman with large
brown eyes like her owe, was sewing as if
bar breath of life depended on every stitch,
and two little goes were playing in the 'sun
shine that temporarily supplied the place of
absent fire.
'Mary, back already ? Surely you have
not sold your chestnuts so soon. '
'No mother, mother,,see 1' ejaculated the
breathless child. 'A gentleman gave me a
whole quarter 1 Only thick, mother, a whole
quarter.'
If Ralph kqpre could.only have seen the
rapture which this 'tiny silver gift diffused
around it in the poor widows poverty•strick.
en borne, be would have grudged still less
the temporary privation of segare to which
hie generosity had subjected him.

The sun went down in red and geld
I watched it from the hill s ;
With purple clouds like banners rolled,
Whose tips are rosy guilt
Where are the eyes that eft of old
Have watched in weal or woe,
W bile the sun set in red and gold,
_AAhousand years ago ?
A linnet perched upon thesbush,
And sang with thrilling strain,
Duetting with his neighbor thrush,
And all the wood with music rang,
Their voices echoeil'so—
Who listened while the linnet sang
A thousand years ago ?
Where are they—all those beating hearts
That lived and throbbed like ours,
Who acted out their separate parts,
And used their varied powers
The heart that gazed and thrilled and burned ,
And wreathed in passion's glow,
r with the tenderest pity yearned
A thousand years ago!
Where are they I— haply over some
The "dust to dust" was said,
Who slumber each in hollow tomb,
Till angels wake the dead.

In ocean's coral caves ;
And mighty fragrant forests weep

waiting for the presence of Mr. Audley.
'What can it be that detains papa?' said
Mrs. Audley, a fair matron of about thirty,
as she glanced at the dial of a tiny enameled
watch. 'Six o'clock and he does not make
his appearance,
'There's a man with him •in the study,
mamma—come on business,' said Robert
Audley, a pretty boy twelve years old, who
was reading by the fire.
'l'll call him again,' said, Mrs. Audley
stepping to the door.
But as she opened it, the brilliant gaslight
fell full on the face of an humble looking
man in a threadbare garment, who was leav
ing the house, while her husband' stood in
the door-way of his study, apparently re
lieved to be rid of his visitor.
- 'Charles, said Mrs. Audley, whose cheek
had paled and flushed, 'who was that man
—and what does lie want r'
'His name is Moore, I believe, love, and
awe to see if I would bestow that vacant
messengersbip in t e
'And you will?'
'I don't know, Diary, I must think about
it.'
'Charles, give him the situation'
'Why, my love ?'
,Because, I ask it of you as a favor, and
you have said a thousand times you would
never deny me anything.'
'And I will keep my word, Mary,' said
the lover husband, with au affectionate kiss
write the fellow a note this evening. I
belie Verve got his address somewhere about
me.'
An hour or two later, Bobby and Frank
and Minnie were tucked snugly up in bed in
the spacious nursery above stairs, Mrs. Aud
ley told her husband why she was interested
in the case of a man whom shehad'not seen
far twenty years.
'That's ii,ght, my little wife,' said her hus

Ralph Moore was sitting that selfsame
night in his poor lodgings by his ailing wife's
- sick bed, when a servantbrought a note from
the rich and prosperous bank director, Chas.
Audley.
'Good news, Bertha,' be exclaimed joy
ously, as be read the brief words, 'we shall
not starve—Mr. Audley promises me the
vacant situation.'
'You have dropped something from the
note, Ralph,' said Mrs. Moore, pointing to a
slip of paper that lay en the floor.
Moore stooped to recover the estray. It
was a fifty dollar bill neatly folded in a piece
of paper on which was written
'ln grateful, remembrance of the silver
quarter that a kind stranger bestowed on a
cheetnut git I twenty years ago:
Ralph Moore bad thrown a morsel of bread
on the waters of life, and after many years
it had returned tp him.
Flowers.
Flowers teach us the tenderness of God's
character. if he had made nothing of this
kind, it ..his works bad been for bare utility,
and had consisted of coarse and more sub
stantial creations ouls, the tender side of The
Divine character would have failed of the
revelation it now has in nature. You cap
not come across a delicate, trembling flower,
in the shade of a wood so small that your
heel could crush out its life with cue careless
step, but that you will thiuk how gentle
God must be, who made this flower in its
exquisite beauty to live there, and daily cares
for ►t in the regular course of His provi
dence.
Following the same idea, the sleep of the
flowers touches our sympathies, Many of
them at night will fold their petals closely
together, and, like the darlings of a kind
mother, repose trustfully in the care of their
Creator. 'And during the long, dark night,
they gather the dews which distil in the
quiet air, and when day comes, the first beams
ut the morning fall on millions et glittering
drops, and flash bads from leaf, and bud, and
petal, and grassy blade in such brilliance,
that the whose waving and nodding field of
blooming beauty seems dressed in gems wore
resplendant than any dream of oriental maw
.
nificeuce, So it may be with us if, in the
night of this somewhat sombre life, we draw
to ourselves the dews of heavenly grace.--
We may hope that when eteroity fully datini,
the morning light of our Father's love will
glance upon these jewels. which we have
gathered near the cross, and so light them
up as to cover us with glory.—The Pacific.
THE DEPARTED SOUL.- Heaven ! what
a moment must be that when the last fatter
expires on our lips ! ' What a change ! Tell
me, ye who deepest read in nature and in
God, to what new world are we borne ?
Whither has that spark—that unseen in
comprehensible intelligence, fled ? Look up
on that cold, livid, ghastly corpse that lies
before you! That was a shell, a gross, earth
ly covering, which hold the immortal essence
which has now lett, to range, perhaps,
`through illimitable space; to receive new
capacities to delight, new powers of concep•.
tion, new glories of beatitude. Ton thou
sand fanscies rush upon the mind as it con
templates the awful moment between life and
death It is a moment big with imagina
tion, hopes and fears, it is the consumma
tion that clears up all mystery—solves all
doubt which removes all contradictions,
and destroys all error. Great God ! What a
flood of rapture may at once burst upon the
departed soul. The unclouded brightness of
the celestial region—the solecotll secrets of
nature may be divulged, the immediate unity
of the past, forms of imperishable beauty
may then suddenly disclose themselves, burst‘
ing upon the delighted sense, and bathing
themselves in immeasurable bliss.—Spur
geon.

What is there in nattire more wonderful
than the' various and extreme changes and
conditions to which the human system is ca
pable of adapting itself? , The human body
can endure extremes of beat—thriving un

115° or 120° Fehr;—and of cold at 30° be
low zero ! It can subsist on fish, flesh or

on insects, snails, frogs, lizards, blubber, oil,
bogs, and on elehhanta It can eat opium,

killed—poisonous liquids, which set the brain
and nervous system on fire ! A healthy man
can live on a plank,in open sea, exposed to
the element, nine days, without food or water.
Man can outwalk and outrun—on a long
stretch—the fleetest animal. Ile can live iu

He can live if you cut off his hands, feet,
and seal I • if au break his bones knock cut

die his body with shot; and he has lived
ten days with a bullet in his heart—instance
13111 Pool, and many years with a large open
ing in the stomach, as large as the palm of a
lady's hand—instance St Martin, described
by Dr. Beaumont. It will be conceded from
these statements of fact that the powers of
human endurance and tenacity of life are in
deed remarkable. But what of the force of
habit ? This, although capable of almost in
conceivable tempermental• changes and moth
fications, we are, by the lives we lead, daily
casting the moulds of our characters. Thro'
the food we eat, the air we breathe, the blood
, upon
we make, tiesue, nerve, muscle, and bone aro
formed. We grow into comely or into un
comely form, feature, character. And al
though we are not actually stereotyped the
natural tendency of matter—earth tree-ond
wan—is to a certain degree of fixedness.—
For example, if w_e liv_e regularly—aals_the
atom_of_meo—we_retire—at_a_certain_liou P
8 fr —.7--,- length of tin—
teep a certain — length of time, and rice with
in ten minutes of the saute hour. We take
our meals with the same reFzUlarity_ and pur-
sue our avocations day after day, week atter
week, for months and years, with the same
uniformity. •13 it singular that we take on
fixed expressions by these regular habits.
Feed a child for years on certain kinds of
food,—say beef, pot k, or mutton,—and then
it you suddenly change his diet to that of
fruits and vegetables, will he not be liable to
'hanker after flesh ?' Or to go back of this:
suppose - a nursing mother to indulge-freely
in wine, porter, beer, 'bitters,' or other..aleo•
hello stimulants, will not her milk be largely
impregnated with them ? And will not the
babe acquire an appetite for the same ? And
will not the 'habit' become fixed for life, with
bo
nth—mother and . And as it—is with
this, so it is with other things in which we
indulge. If the father chews, snuffs, or
smokes tobacco, the odor associated with his
practice pervades all things with which be
comes
. in contact—breath, clothes, rooms,
railways, steamboats, hotels, Wks, streets,
etc. Go where you'may, the users of tobac•
co carry flat; pollution with them, and neither
woman, children, or babes can escape the to
bacco stench. Is there any wonder that the
nastiness becomes inwrought with the very
marrow of our bones 'I and that young boys
steal every opportunity to indulge, and to im
itate the example of their noble papas ? If
the 'habit' be thus fornied early in life, it
sticks tighter than a brother, requiring the
greatest self denial to break it off.
Habitual opium eaters are in the same cat
egory, and drag out, miserable lives of intox
ication and excitemebt. Oh, for a little more
manly fortitude and Christian self-denial.
God has given to man an intellect through
which he may be taught to know the differ
mace between good and evil, right and wrong;
and a moral sense to fortify and strengthen
him against yielding to temptations. But if
he become perverted, either through lobed
term or through sell-indulgence, he will
surely be punished. Physical transgressions
are punished by physical sufferings, and mor
al transgressions by mental anguish ; sin, in
any form, inevitably begets sorrow, suffering
and punishment.
In forming our 'habits,' let us see to it
that they be in keeping with the laws of our
being, and in harmony with the Divine will,
that we eat only healthful food; that we reg.
elate our tempers; cultivate and discipline
our social affections, our intellects, and our
religious .sentiments.. By these means we
shall resist temptations, an 3 escape those suf
ferings which follow transgressions.
NEITHER ROPE NOR FEAR.-Mr. Owen
visited Alexander Campbell, at Bethany, to
make arrangements for tbeir discussion on
the evidences -of Christianity. In one of
their excursions about the farm, they came
to Mr. Campbell's family burying ground ;
when Mr. Owen stopped, and addressing
himself to Mr. Campbell, said, 'There is one
advantage I have over the Christian; I am
not afraid'r - to die. Most Christains have
fear in death; but, if some few items bf my
business were settled, I should be perfectly
willing to die at any moment. 'Well,' an•
swered Mr. Campbell, 'you say you have no
fear in death ; have you any hope in death?'
After a solemn pause, 'No,' said Mr. Owen,
'Then,' rejoined Mr. Campbell (plating to
an ox standing near.) 'you are on a level
with that brute.. He has been fed until he is
satisfied, and stands in the shade, whisking
off the flies, and bus neither hope nor fear
in death."

FALL OF METEOR.—A letter from Free
dom, Missouri, gives an account of a recent
fall of a meteor near that place. The sub
stance of the letter is that on the 4th of
July, the family of Joseph Young were
startled by the appearance of a column of
flame in the air, which extended many hun
dred feet upward to a point, and rapidly ap
proaching the earth. • It was attended with
a rushing noise which became utmost deafen
lag as it drew near, and ended with a report
like the loudest - thunder. From the cow
enticement of the light until the report,
was scarcely more than a second. Soon after
the occurrence at a • distance of Soros two
hundred yards from Mr. Young's house, was
found a body, of niettilic characteristics and
irregular form. From its position and the
appearance of the ground it must have fallen
from the smith. Its weight is about as Much
as a man can readily lift. Its coin is dark
brown, almost black and in one spot it shows
a motalio tint. When struck with a ham
.
good degree of - elasticity It also bears evi
dence of having been subjected to intense
beat. ibis strange visitor from the regions
of the air is attracting much attention in the
neighborhood.

BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.—It is a curious
fact that few women are competent judges
of what is essentially a quality of their own
—female beauty. It is not easy for any one
to define it, tho' we all recognize its presence.
It depends so much on expression and action,
which are essentially mobile, that it is al
most impossible to grasp and fiz it into . a
definition. Many have taken an e'utirely
materialistic view of the matter, and attempt
ed to measure it . hy the arithmetic , of , pro—
iortion or wei , :b it aceordin: to_avoirdu cis.
lirantome, one of the most decided of these;
has the presumption to count on the ends of
his fingers the qualities of a female beauty.
Ho enumerates them thus :
Three white things—the skin, teeth, and
hands.
Three dark—the eyes, eyebrows, and eye
lashes.
Three red—the lips, cheeks, and
Three long—the body, hair and hands.
.Three short— the teeth, ears, and feet.
Three broad—the chest, forehead, and
space between the eyes.— Olive King.
iNDUSTRY.—Man must have occupation
or be miserable. Toil is the price of sleep
and appetite, of health and enjoyment. The
very necessity which overcomes our natural
sloth is a blessing. The whole world does
not contain a brier or thorn which Divine
mercy could have spared. We are happier
with the sterility, which we can overcome
by industry, than we could have been with
spontaneous plenty and unbounded profu
sion. The body and the mind are improved
by the toil that fatigues them. The toil is
a thousand times rewarded by the pleasures
which it bestows, Its enjoyments are pecu
liar. No wealth can purchase them—no in•
dolence can taste them They flow only
from the exertions which repay.
TlME.—"Wben I look upon tombs of the
great,' said Addison, 'every emotion of envy
dies in me. I see the tombs of the parents
themselves, I consider the vanity of grieving
for those whom we mun so quickly follow.
When I see kings lying over those whn de•
posed them; when I. see rival wits placed
side by side, or holy men that divided the
world with there contest and desputes, I re
flect with sorrow and astonishment on the
little cotupetioop, fraction and debates of
mankind. When I read the several dates
of tombs of some that died yesterday, and of
six hundred years ago I consider the great
day when we shall all of us be contempora
ries, and make our appearance together.
NAIL IN TUE FOOT.—We find in a South !
