...Special Advantages of this Loan.
It is a National Savings Rank, cffering a
higher rate of interest than any other, and the
best security. Any savings bank which pays
its depositors in U. S. Notes, considers that it
is payinn best circulating medium of the
country, and it cannot pay in anything better,
-for its own assets are either in government Se
,ourities or in notes or bonds payable in govern
ment paper.
it is equally conveLient as a temporary or
permanent investment. The notes can always
, be sold for within a fraction of their face - and

iban,qclcs's Robe
I sit beside my gentle one—
Her hand is laid in mine,
And thus, we watch the parting sun
In golden haste decline.
Across the fields the shadows creep,
And up the misty hill,
And.we our twilight vigils keep
At our own cottage sill.
The distant brooklet mbrmurs tome,
Like bell notes through the leaves ;
And many an insects mazy hum
Its dreamy music weaves.
The dove's last note, in rippling beats,
Upon the air departs ;
'['he breath of all our garden sweets
Is creeping to our hearts.
The russet woodbine round our porch,
In clustering ringlets twines ;
The honeysuckle's crimson torch .
Gleams through the dusty vines;
The sunset rays are trembling now
Amid the trellis-bars—
They paint upon my-darlings brow
A glory like the stars,
Her cheek is,nestling on my breast,
Her eyes are bright with tears;
A. prayer, half-h.leathed and half-represt;
My listening spirit hears
Oh ! blessed by the changeless info
That glorifies my life!
All doubt, all fear, all guile above—

THE LADY'S REPENTANCE.—fn the life
of Dr. Ruffles, just published, the follow
ing story was told in connection with a
preaching journey in 1514. On our way
from Wem to Hawk.estone wd passed a
house, of which Mr. Leo told me the
following occurrences : '•.A. young lady,
the daughter of the owner of the house,
was addressed by a man, who, though
agreeable to her, was disliked by her
father. Of course he would not consent
to their union, and she determined to
elope. The night was 6sed, the hour
came, he placed the ladder to the win
dow, and in a few minutes she was in
his arms. They mounted a double
horse, and were seen at some distance
from the house. After a while the lady
broke silence by saying : 'Well, you
see what a proof I have given you of
my affection ; I hope you will make me
a good hushed.' Be was a surly fel
low, and gruffly answered : 'Perhaps I
may, and perhaps not.' She made him
no reply, but, after a silence of some
minutes, she suddenly es,claimed : 'O,
what shall we do ? I have left my
money behind me in my room. ",Then,'
said he, 'we must go back and fetch it,
They were soon again at the house, the
ladder was again placed, the lady re
mounted, while the ilinatured lover wait
ed below. But she delayed. to come,
and so he gently called : 'Are you com
ing ?' when she looked out of the win
dow and said : 'Perhaps I may, and
perhaps. not; then shnedown the win
dow, and left him to return upon the
double horse alone. Was not that a
happy thought on the lady's part—a fa
mous joke ?" •

Life•s Autumn.
Like the leaf, life has its fading, We
speak aid think of it with sadness; jdst
as we think of the autumn season. But
there should be no sadness at the fading
of a life that has done its work well.
If we rejoice at the advent of a new pil
grim to the uncertainties, of this world's
way,, why should there ,be so, much
gloom when all these uncertainties are
past, and life at its waning wears the
glory of a completed task ? Beautiful
as is childhood in its freshness and inno
cence, its beauty is that of untried life,
It is the beauty of promise, of spring, of
the bud., A holier and rarer beauty is
the beauty which the waning life of
faith and duty wears. -
It is the beauty of a thing completed;
and, as men come together to congratu
ls.te each other when some groitt work
has been achieved, and see 'in its . con
cluding nothing but gladness so . ought
we to feel when the setting 'sun flings
back its beams upon a life that has' an
swered well life's purpose. When , the
bud-drops are blighted and the mildew
blasts the early ,grain, end ,there goes
all hope of the harvest,.one may well be
sad ; but when the ripened year, sinks
amid garniture of autumn flowers and
leaves, why should we regret or mur
mur? And so a life that is ready and
waiting for the "well , done" of God,
whose latest virtues and charities are its
noblest, should be given back to God-in
uncomplaining reverence, we rejoicing
that earth is capable of so much 'sad
ness, and is ptimitted such virtue.
WIVES, ATTEND TO THlS.—N:ever let
your husband have cause to complain
that you aro more agreeable abroad
than at home. .Many an unhappy marri
age has been occasioned by neglect in
these particulars--Nothing can be more
senseless than the conduct of a young
woman, who seeks to be admired in,gen
eral society for her politeness and enga
ging manners, or skill in music, when,
at the same time, she makes no effort to
render her home attractive; and yet
that home, whether a palace or a cot
tage, is the very .centre of hei being,
the nucleus around which her affections
should revolve.
Or In Madame 0 's school pails
of water stood about in convenient situ
ations, with cocoanut dippers, for the
convenience of thirsty pupils ; but dip
peas will not bear too rough handling,
and the mortality thereof had been irri
tatingly great. Madame was upon. her
knees on the platform, one morning, de
youtly conducting the devotions of her
hundred pupils, when in the distance
was heard the crash of the devoted ves
sel. There was a pauso in the prayer,
and these words audibly interluded by
the oblivious speaker. "(x'oecl gracious !
if there isn't another of my cocoanut
dip.. •rs gone !" and the prayer went on:
U - In the City Hall at Lunebeig,
,Hanover, is a monument to a pig—a

of the pig whiCh acquired for itself im

Cr The ladies are now adopting a
new fashion for buttons. Buttons on la
dies have lately increased 'by degrees
from the size of a pea to the dimensions
of a four pound dumb bell and the area
of a soup plate, now they are to be
square. Yes, square. Next mouth
they will be triangular, and in the'spring
they will exhibit the ehape of a rhom
boid.

A Little Lessoii for Well 'Disposed
Wives,
"Why is it," asked a lady, "that so
many men are, anxious to get rid of their
wives ?", "Beou.use," was the reply, "so
few women exert themselves after mar-
riage to make their presence indispensa
ble to the happiness of their husbands I"
When husband and wife h.ve become
thoreuglaly accustomed to*each other—
when all the little battery of charms
which both played off so Skillfully be
fore the wedding-day has been exhatrat
ed—teo-manyseem to think that noth
ing remains 'but the clanking of the le
gal chains which bind them to each
other. The wife Seeks to ,develep in
her' affection no new attraction for her
husband; and the latter, perceiving the
lapsus, begins to brood over an nncon
geniality,which does not, exist, and. to
magnify. the, ills, that do exist into hasur
passable,. obstacles in the way of his
earthly felicity. , This is the true secret.
The woman. Who- charmed hefore mar
riage can charm afterward, if she will,
though not of course by thesaine means.
There are a thousand , wayS, if she will
,only study them, out, in which she can
make homeso attractive that her bus
band , will unconsciously, dislike to absent,
himself from it, and so , she can, readily
make herself the particular deity of the
domestic paradise. This done, she may
quietly laugh at all attempts, to aleniate
her husband's inclinations ; , and with
those inclinations will always go m in
such cases, his i active jadgement.
FIFTEEN. GREAT MISTAKES.—It is a
great, mistake to set up our own stand
ard of right and of wrong, and judge
people accordingly. It is a great mis
take to measure the enjoyments of others
by o.ur.owu ; to expect uniformity of
opinion in this world ; to look for judge
ment and experience in youth ; to, en
deavor to mould all dispositions alike ;
not to .yield in immaterial trifles ; to
look for perfection in, our actions ; to
worry ourselves and. Others with what
cannot be remedied ; ,:not
,to alleviate
.all that needs alleviation. as, far cs lies
in our power; not, to make apowances
for the infirmities of others;,to consider
everything impossible which we cannot
perform ; to believe only what our fi
nite minds can grasp; to expect to be
able to understand everything. The
greatest of all mistakes is to live only
for Time, and that when any moment
may launch us into Eternity.
A CURE. FOR JEALOUSY.—A jealous
man who was on a visit to Loudon, was
induced to call on.a clairvoyant to as
certain what his wife was doing, at her
residence, some ninety miles . '.away,
"She is sitting in her parlor," said the
lady, "and she looks out of the window,
as if in expectation," "Strange," said
the gentletnan, - "who can
,she expect ?"
"Some orie enters the door! she seizes.
him and caresses him fondly.'! "Horri
ble ftinterrupted the gentleman, think
ing of the DiVorce Court. "Now he,
lays his hdad in her 'lap, and looks tend-,
erly into• her eyes." "Dreadful! she
shall suffer for 'this." "Now he wags
his, tai[ !" and as this explained the
story, old decamped, and.resol
ved not to be inquisitive again in regard
to his wife.
Cr "I have a place for everything you
ought to "know it," said a married man,
who was looking for his boot-jack after
his Wife was in bed: "Yee," said she,
"arid'l ought •to know where you •keep
your late hours, but I •don't."
eir It is temper , whichiOnakes the
bliis 'of hothe or'disturbs its comfort.
The'hOme is in the 'forbearing temper
in the yielding'spirit, in the calm pleas
urea of a mild 'Aisposition, anxious to.
give and 'receive happiness. : .

From ‘7he Crystal Gem."
.The Teacher's duty to his Profession.
Every profession derives its respecta
bility and character from two circum
stances; first, its object and aim, and
secondly, 'the•character of the men en.
gaged in it. In one view, the object
with which a profession has to do, and
the end for which it strives, gives char
acter to that profession, or in other
words, make the profession ; and in an
other view, the man makes the profes
sion. The profession does not make
the man: -
NO - matter what the dignity of the
profession in itself considered ; no mat
ter how high or bow noble the object
with which It is concerned ; if those
who are engaged in it are men of low es
teem and bad repute, of profligate char
acter, or of attainments inadequate to
the derhands or that profession, it suffers
in the estimation of the world and loses
its position and influence. This is no
less true of the teacher's profession than
of any other. What then is the duty of
the teacher to his profession ?
In itself- the profession of teaching is
a high' and noble one ; it stands at the
head, &flimflam Pursuits. it deals with
a niost noble object, the liuman mind ;
its aid), the training and developing of
fiat mind, so as to fit man for usefulness
here sand for happiness hereafter. To
understand and appreciate its dignity
and responsibility in all their height and
length and ,breadth and depth, it is
necessary to have a full and just cause
of,the dignity and nature of man, what
he is and why ho was created. The
teacher's duty then, is, to strive to ren
der himself equal to his profession,
knowing and, feelin'g the nobleness of
his, calling, he should endeavor to prove
.worthy of ,it. His moral character
should be above reproach; he should in
short be a faithful follower of the Great
,Teacher who taught es never man taught.
His intellectual attainments should be
the most extensive possible, He dare
not be--satisfied with- merely passable
qualifications ; with a partial knowledge
of the few branches taught in the sebocd
room. With these and the best methods
of teaching them be must make himself
thoroughly familiar. Lie cannot teach
thoioug,hly that which he himself does
not understand. He cannot excite in
his class that animation, nor impart to
the recitation that interest which there
should - be, unless he understands the ,
subject in hand and knows bow to pre
sent it in its most attractive form. But
his duty does not stop here. He muid
be devoted to constant selfimprorement.
The teacher who makes no effort to im
prove from day_ to day_ will soon become
barren and dry, and will grow worse and
worse ,as he grows older.
The profession demands progress; no
standing still•; no going backward ; but
a continual never-ceasing moving for
ward, onward and upward, in the way of
increasing•in knowledge and good n el
ods of teaching. The teacher must not
iatisfihd With the success of to-day
bnt'rriust strive for greater success to-
Morrewl "Improvement" must be his
motto`;'the'improvement of himself and
his pupils must be his aim. He must
