PAST AND FUTURE.-
Time is fleeing ! days of gladness
_ , Haste like visions of the night;
Checkered oft with grief and sadness,
N ow they fade upon the sight.
Oh! the dread and piercing sorrow,
Graven on the passing year;
Pain to-day, and joy to-morrow; -
Smiles succeed the bitter tear.
Many a poor and starving mother, ,
Stung with anguish, bowed with grief;
May the future meet a brother
\Vho shall kindly give relief.
Many a proud and haughty mortal,
Trusting fondly in his wealth,
May, the future, seek the portal,

NEVER» RAIL AT THE VVORLD.
BY CHARLES swam.
Never rail at the world, it is just as we make it,
live site not the flower if we set not the seed;
And as for ill luck, why it's just as we take it,--
Tlic heart that's in earnest no bars can impede.
You question the justice that governs men's breast.
And say that the search for true friendship is vain,
But remember, this world, though it be not the best.
Is next to the best we shall ever attain.
Never rail at the world, nor attempt to exalt
That feeling which questions society's claim;
For often poor I-‘rientlship is less in the fault.
Less changeable oft, than the selfish who blame:
Then ne'er by the changes of fate be deprest,
Nor wear like a fetter Time's sorrowful chain;
But believe that this-world. though it be not the best,
Is the next to the best we shall ever attain!
MISCELLANY.
TAKING A NEVVSPAPER.
A PRACTICAL S’I‘0RY—PLEASANTLY TOLD.
‘Pleasant day this, neighbor Gaskill,’
said one farmer to another, coming into
the barn of the latter, who was en.-aged in
seperating the chaff front the wheat crop
by the means of a fan.
‘Very fine day,friend Alton-—any news I’
returned the individual addressed.
‘Nothing of importance; I have called
over to see if you wouldn’t join Carpen-
ter and myself in taking the paper this
rear. The price is only two dollars.’
‘Nothing cheap that you don’t want,’ re-
turned Gaskill, in a positive tone; ‘I don’t
believe in newspapers; Iuever heard of
one doing any good. If an old stray one
happens to get into our house my gals are
crazy after it, and nothing can be got out
of them until it's read though. They
would not be good for a cent if a paper
came (very week. And besides, dollars
ain't picked up in ev.-ry corn l i I’
‘But think, neighbor Gaskill, how much
information your gals would get if they
you would have saved, in the single item
of your wheat crop alonc, fourteen dollars
just think of that! Mr. Wakefnl takes the
newspapers, and by watching them closely,
is always prepared to make good bargains
with some half dozen others around here,
who would not have wit enough to provide
themselves with the only sure avenue of
information on all subjects—tlie newspa-
er.’
‘Have you sold your potatoes I’ asked:
Gaskill, with some concern in his voice. I
‘O no, not yet. VVa cful has been mak-
ing me offers for the last ten days. But,
from the prices they are bringing in Phil-
adelphia, I am well satisfied they are worth
about thirty cents here.’ »
‘About thirty! \Vhy I sold to \Vnkeful
for about twenty six cents!’
‘A great dunce you were, ifI must speak
so plainly; he offered me twenty nine cents
for four hundred bushels. But I declined.
And! was right. They are worth thirty
to day,’and at that price I am going to
sell.
‘Isn’t it too bad 1’ ejaculated the_ morti-
fied, farmer walking backwards and for-
wards impatiently. “There are twenty
five dollars literally stink into the sea. That
Wakeful has cheated the most outrageous-
l "’-
‘And all because you were too close to
take a newspaper. I should call that sav-
ing at the spigot, and letting out at the
bung hole, neighbor Gaskill.’
‘I should think it was, indeed. This
very day l’ll send off money for a paper;
and if any one gets ahead of me again,he’ll
have to be wide awn‘ e, I can tell him.’
‘Have you heard of Sally Black ‘I’ asked
Mr. Alton, after a brief silence.
‘No. VVhat of her I’
‘She leaves home to morrow, and goes
to R .'
‘Indeed! What for 'l’
‘Her father takes the newspaper you
know.’
‘Yes.’
‘And has given her a good education.’
‘So they say; but I could never see
that it had done any good for her, except
to make her-good for nothing.’
‘Not quite so bad as that, friend Gaskill.
But to proceed; two weeks ago, Mr.
Black saw an advertisement in the paper
for a young lady to teach music and sonic
other branches in the seminary at R-—-.’
He showed it to Sally, and she asked him
had a fresh newspaper every week, filled
with all the latest intelligence. The time
they would spend in reading would be noth--
ing to what they would gain.’
‘And what would they gain, I wonder If
to ride over and see about it. He did so,
and then returned for Sally, and went
ack again. The trfistees of the seminary
liked her very much and engaged her at
over the butler’s shoulder.
‘Oh! take it away !—-ta‘ e it away!’
cried Mrs. C , speaking with great dif-
ficulty, and giving herself another twist in
the bed-curtains.

ness to escape.

vigor, but as for myself, the bright-eyed ,
beauty on the opposite side was food
enough for me,:.n l I commenced familiar-

it, and I bowed in lowly homage to the

Mr. Alton changed the subject, and soon
left neighbor Gaskill to his fancies.
About three months afterwards, howev-
er, they again met, as theyhad frequently
done during the intermediate time.

little chance of its rising. Yesterday he
sent over his wagon and took it away.

A__.TA‘LE OF--'-PHE HEART. I
The following affecting story is related,
by the Rev. H. Edwards, of'England, in a
work recently published. It shows that
the most determined pride of purpose can-
not always conquer love, and that the
latter emotion secretly encouraged, some-.
times preys upon life and produces death.
There are those who laugh and sneer in

erally assisted in serving the tea, had thus
an opportunity of seeing the young man:

her heart. When she did perceive it, her
reason induced her to oppose it, and she
made effectual efforts for that purpose;
indeed, so violent were her struggles, that
her health was seriously affected by them.
Her mistress, who loved her tenderly, after
having consulted several physicians in
vain, sent her to the house of a friend at
twenty miles distance, to try whether

her. The absence of the object of her

down my face in streams, and putting my
hand into my coat pocket I pulled out my
linen cambric handkerchief, when out of
its white folds dropped half a chickenll
