(ft 1 glfltl) but my heart walrcfh-")
Death's blight upon the brow--
His iron lmniltq cold iiupresri on the lip-
Are not alike relentless unto all.
Not always, when made ready for the grave,
Are the beloved ones beautifiil no more.
No: all alike, to the bright tliroiig who wait
To give the welcome afftlie gate of Heuvi-ii,
Sceiii the pale coiuers from this world away.
-And they—tlio loveliest to the eyes that inourn——
They, of the blast throng of the sin-forgiven,
Who fairest seem to angels-—seldom they
Where of the living who are called most fair-—
Seldoiii the young, the gifted, or the strong.
But thry whom piiyfor the poor has kept
Tender Qfh/.’a1't—-Ul('88, with their parting breath.
Pulon the saintly beauty of the latest .'
For, oh how well that iniiacle is known
To those who oftenest l:vok_upon the dead :-
Tliat, when life's changing features first are still-
When first, with deaf-h’s transparent calm, we see
Tliroiigli the fur dept-lis wliut pearl was hidden there-
Then, o'er the ti-atures o ltlie blest. oiics “ known
For their good works,” like DoncAs—those whose “aims
Are in remembrance before God” like his
To whom the “ angel in bright clothing” came,
CORNELIUS the centuriun—tliere beams
Light, from the warm heart that was shrined within-
Liglit from the trembling of the pityiug tear,
Tli’ undying lump lit for the-sad and.lone I
And, by that light—a smile upon the lips,
Urrqucmlied by ll/'c'.v last agony-we know
That. such are they who are beloved of God 2-
ltlade fairci,‘even in Death's icy sleep,
By the unwcuried “ walking of the heart"
Which smiles as they go beautiful to Heaven-

Oh I therc’s a power to make each hour
As sweet as heaven designed it ;
Nor need we room to bring it home,
Though few therebe that find it.
We seek too high for things close by,
And lose wliat nature found us ;
For life hath here no charm so dear
As home and friends around us.
We oft destroy the present joy
For future hopes—and praise them ;
Whilst. flowers as sweet bloom at our feet,
If we’d but stoop to raise them ;
For things afar still sweeter are
When youth’: bright spell hath bound us ;
But soon we’re taught the earth has nought
Like home and friends around us.
The friends that speed in time of need,
When hope’: fast read is shaken,
Will show us still that come what will,
We are not quite forsaken.
Though all were night, if but the light
From lI‘l(‘n(I:‘»lllp'fl altar crown’d us,
"l'would prove the bliss ofearth was this-
Our home and friends around us.

Is 11‘ so.——Soiiiebody, we doii’t know
who, and it muket llO difference, thus
warns young men too look out for the
womcn—- ’
“Young men ! keep your eye peeled
when you are after the women ! Is the
pretty dress or form attractive l Or a
pretty face even l Flouuces boy, are no
consequence. A pretty face will soon
grow old. Paint will wash off. The
sweet siuile of the first, will give way to
the scowl of the termagaiit. The nest
form will be pitched into calico. Anoth-
er and far different being will take the
piece of the lovely goddess, who smiles
sweet and eats soul‘ candy. Keep your
eye peeled, boy, when you are after the
women. If the little dear is cross; and
scolds at her mother in the back room,
you may be sure that you will get partic-
lar fits ull around the house. If she apol-
ogizes for washing dishes, you will need
a girl to fan lier, .
If she blushes when found at the wash-
tub with her sleeves rolled up, be sure,
sir, that she is of the codfisli aristocracy,
little breeding and little sense. If you
marry a girl who knows nothing but to
commit woman slaughter on the piano,
you have got the poorest piece of music
ever got up. Find‘ one whose mind is
right, then pitch in. Dou’t be hanging
around like a sheep thief, as though you
were asliuuied to be seen, in the day time
but walk up like a chicken to the dough,
‘and ask for the ai'ti_cle like a. man.“

Little Thing: of Character.
A few years ago, ll. New York mer-
chant advertised for a lad.’ A youth saw
the advertiseiucnt, and called at the store.
“ Walk into the oflice, my lad, said the
merchant: I’ll attend to your soon.”
The boy seated himself in the office,
and in due time, the mercliant appeared,
and took a chair beside him. On sitting
down he observed a cigar in his lint.
" My boy,” said he, " I want a sniart,
honest, faithful lad ; but I see you smoke
cigars, and _iii my expcriciicc of many
years, I have ever found cigar-smoking in
lads to be connected _with various other
evil liabits—‘-You can leave ;» you will
not suit. me.”
Perhaps the youth tliouglit the mer-
chant was more parf.iciilai' than" wise.———
But he, in common with all men with as
much discernment as Lawrence, under-
stood the drift ot' such small things as a
cigar in a boy’s but. A straw shows
the direction of the wind better than a
mighty navy. . So cliaracter is more usu-
ally judged of by little things. A man
is rude in the presence of ladies in the
4 cars, and and we supose that he'is ill-bred
A third spells some common words erro-
neously in a letter and we conclude his
ediicatidu is poor. In this way, we make
minor affairs a test of cliarccter, often,
and pcrliaps generally. We might never
know the the true character of a Gover-
nor or President, seen only in great pub-
lic acts We must know something of
them in the more private and every day
transactions of life, in order to understand
them exactly.
Let: us visit any community, and be-
come familiar with the boys. Oiieis fond
of killing flies. Another delights in rob-
biug birds’ nests. Another still likes a
fishing rod or sporting gun, A fourth is
idle and shiftless ; while others, in their
turn are obedient sons and daughters, in-
dustrious liurnane, gentle and manncrly.
All of those things are trifling,‘in com-
parison with the deeds of the whole life.
Yet, can we not discovery much of the
future iuan in these acts? When Nero
was a. boy, be delighted to torture ani-
mals, and all know what. a cruel man he
became. So in every one of the above
qualities there is a test by which we
judge of future character.

SPICY CORRESPOI\'DENCl-I-——A 'l'RUi=:
IVI1-‘E.-—IVe are assured by :1 friend who
is pcrsoiiull cognizant of what he states,
that the following piqiiaiit correspondence
is genuine. A geiitleuiau whose business
calls him a good deal from liou_ie,is accus-
tomed to give the custody of his corres-
pondeuce to his wife, an iiitclligent
lady’, who, in obedience to iustriictioiis,
opens all letters that come in her liiis-
baud’s absence ; answers such of them as
she can, like a confidential clerk, and for-
wards the rest. to her liege lord at such
places as he may have designated at his
dcpurturture. During a recruit absence
of her husband, the lady received :1 letter
of which the following (omitting names,
dates and placcs)is a true copy :—
“MY Dam Sm: I saw a fine picture
of you_ yesterday, and fell in love with it
as I did with the original in W lust
winter,wheii I saw you more than an
hour, though Isuppiise you did not see
me among? so many. I fear you will think
me forward in thus addressing you ; but
I trust you are as noble and unsuspecting’
as you are handsome and brilliant. Per-
haps you would like to know something
about iue—youi' ardent aduiireifi ! Well,-
I am not very good at description, but I
will say I am not maI‘1'ieil (though you
are, I 11711 told.) My friends tell me I
have not a pretty face, but only a. good
figure. I am rather petite, have bla.ck
eyes, black hair, and a. dark complexion
—-that is, I am what is called a ‘bi'uii_ctte.’
I am stopping for a few weeks with my
brotlier-in-law and sister in this town, and
I dearly wish you wotild iucef, use there
before I return to W— , At any
rctefdo. no. not fail to write me at least a
few words to tell me whether Ishall ever
see you again, and k.Il.QW you more inti-
uiatoly. Forgive my boldness and be-
lieve me,
Your friend —--—--—.” '
To this letter the wire, who, by the by,
has not the least knowledge of the per
son to whom she was iijijitiug, made the
foll9uing_ atisuev 2
“- l.\'lADE'itoisi-:i.i.s: Your letter of the

he dislikes black eyes, mid hates hri_ii,1,ct;cs

qeein to suppose) that he judges of wo-
men as he does of horses ; but I do not
‘think your inventory of your ‘ pointslis
complete enough to be satisfactory to

ture; but yet he is used to draw infer-
ences, which are sometimes as unkind as
suspicious. You say you are uiiniar-
ricd. My advice to you is that you mar-
ry somcbody as soon as possible. In most
cases, I would not recoiiiiiieiid haste;
but in yours] am convinced there is truth
in the proverb which speaks of the dim-
ger of delay. I Slionld you be so fortunate
as to get a liusband, (which may God
mercifully grant I) my opinion is that you
will consider any woman who should write
him such a letter as this of yours imper-
tiueiit, and, perhaps, immodest.
“ I will deliver your note to Mr. ——
when he returns, and nlsoa. copy of my
reply, which I am sure he will approve.

Q>o
36" A correspoiideiit of the Boston
Coiirier, gives the following new anecdote
of Daniel Webster :
“ Everybody knows that Mr. Webster
was a bit; of a sportsman, was fond of
beach and fishing parties, and could make
a chowder as well as a speech. On one
of his occasional visits to Long Island for
fresh air and recreation, ‘ Black Dan,’ as
he was familiarly called, took it into his
head to go angling in the East Bay, with-
a party consisting only of Mr. L. and my-
self‘. -
Now, the skipper of our little fishing
craft was one P;aul Seaman,‘ black as a_
coal, is clever, civil darkey, but‘uot want-
ing, especially on such occasions, in a suf-
ficient. sense of his own consequence.
The party had been crossing and re-
crossing the foaming breakers of the in-
let, pulling in the blue fish quite lively
when, during a pause in the sport, Mr.
Webster and Mr. L. got into conversa-
tion about the Shinnecock Indians, :1 i'em- ,
nant of whom still dwelt in the nciglibor-
hood. Paul, who was eagerly listening,
was evidently biirstiiig with ambition to
to kc a sliiuiug'pai'tumougsiicli (listiiigiiisli-
ed talkers. He could contain himself‘
however. But when Mi‘. Webster re-
marked that ‘those Indians by this time
must be a good deal ciiligliteiied, Paul
could stand it no longer, and broke in
with—‘ ’liglitened, i\lissei' Webster !-—-
why dcm fellcrs are just as ’tel|igent as
you and Iarc 1’ Paul, who is still ex-
tant, am] one of the iiist.ii,iit.ious of.flic
place, is wont to tell his ciisfoiuers, to
this day, how he chopped logic with the
great stii.tc3ni:i.u, sud i':i.rely fails to iiisi ii-
uate, with becoiiiiiig iiicclc-sly, tliiit he

SMALL Pox AMD Y.«cci.\'.xr1o:<-—-Iiirou-
rxur Scccr.srio.\'s.—Hall’s Journzil of
Health has the ‘following : - A _
From extended and close ol)sei'vo.tioii,
the following gciicral deductioiis seem to
be \Val'l.'34ll.l2€‘.(l : - -'
1. Infantile vaccination is an almost
perfect safeguard until the fonitcentli
year. A
2. At the beginning or fourteen, the
system gradually loses its capulxiiity of
resistance until about twenty-one, when
many persons become‘ almost as liable to
small pox as if they had not been vacci-
uated.
3. The liability remains in full force
until about forty-two, when the suscepti-
bility begius to decline, and continues for
seven years to grow less and less, becom-
ing extinct at about fifty, the period of
life when the general revolution of the
body begins to take place, during which,
the system yields to decay, or takes a
new lease of life, for two or three terms
of seven years each.
4. The grand practical use to be made
of these statements is : Let every yaiith
be rc-vaccinated on 6l_l_tBJ‘.l'i1g fourteen ;
let several :_~,',;eni1)ts he made, so as to be
certain of safety. As the malady is
more likely to prevail in cities dui'iug the
winter, special attcutiqu is invited to the
sub,'ieot at this time.
@'- We heard a story the other day
which is most too good to keep. A man

was calllcd upon by a New Yo,rl_<_ credit-

-The New Yorker replied : “ How can
you pay 50 cents on a dollar? Your as-
sets will not pay 40 cents,”
“ Well, never l_l_l_ll‘l,(I tghat,“ said~the uri-

and after their temporal demise, they left
the Empire in the hands of mortal kings,
