 THE sTAGEMAN'S HORN. Wrien by lady m the country to her husband 'R fO'O' Oh. say not the horn has no musical notes, lis sound is delightful to me, Far sweeter than warblings from ngh'"gaes 'hroas' For it brings me letter from fhee. The li,tle ones joyful all gather around.
 Their pretty eyes sparkle with gIee, Exclaim, as they hear the enlivening sound,
 "Oh, mother! a letter for thee." magic there is in that sweet little word,
 Delightful to age and to youth; In absence, what joy does letter afford,
 When filled with affection and truth. Tha, thine are thus filled, dear Howard, my heart Euraptured delights 10 confess: open, and read them, and dwell on each part With a transport cannot express. Then say not the horn has no musical notes, Its sound is delightful to me, Far sweeter than warblngs from nightingaIes Ihroas For it brings me a letter from thee.

81 WOULD NOT LIVE AWAY"
| would not live alway-no, no, holy man
Not day, not an hour should lengthen my span;
The few lurid mornings that dawn on US herb
Are enough for ife's woes, full enough for its
cheer
Would not go to the path which the prophets
of God,
Apostles and martyrs, SO joyfully trod!
While brethren and friends are all Fastening
home,
Like a spirit unbest DER the earth would roam
would not live alway-I ask not TO stay,
Where storm after storm rises dark DER the way !;
Where seeking for peace, we but hover around
Like the patriarch's b!rd-and no resting is
found
Where Hope, when she paints her gay bower in
the air,
Leaves its brillIance to fade in the night Of de-
SPAR.
And joys neeting angel meier sheds II glad raj,
Save the gloom of the plumage that bears him
away.
would not live alway-thus fetter'd by sin,
Temptation without and corruption within:
In moment of strength, If sever the chain,
Scarce the vlctory's mine than Pm captive again.
Fen the rapture of pardon is mingled with fears.
And my cup OF thank sgiving with peniteHt tears
The festival trump calls Tor jubIant songs,
But my spirit her own misery proiohgs'
would not live alway-no, welcome the tomb
Immortalitys lamp buris there bright mid The

There too is the pillow where Christ bow'd his
head
Sweet, sweet be my slumbers on that holy bed.
But sweeter the morn which shall follow that
night,
When the sunrise of glory shall beam on my
sight,
When the full mattin-song the sleepers arise
To hal the blest morning shall peal through The
skies.
Who, who would live alway--away from hi
God,
Away from yon heaven, that blisslul abode,
Where the rivers of pleasure flow DER the brigh
plains,
And the nooutidc of glory eternally reigns;
Where the saints of all ages in harmony meet,
Their God and each other transported to greet
While the anthems of rapture increasingly roll
And the smlle of the Lord the feast of the soul

DECISION OF CHARACTER

81 hardly know what to do" 81 have a
great mind to go.n "have great mind
not to go" 81 should never have done It,
| if had not been over persuaded" can
Iihase," observed Mr.. Sutton, and many such
ike savings, are the expressions If weak
minds: people who, without intending i'll
are almost sure to act i'll, for want of de-
cision Of character. To avoid such folly
an weakness, make up your mind as to
what is RIGHT, and let no persuasion induce
you to swerve from it, against your better
Judgment.
80 DC infrm of purpose IS TO be at the
mercy of the ariIul, OF at the disposal OF
accident. Look around, and count the
numbers who have, within your own knowi-
etlse, talied from wanl Of firmness. An ex
cellent and WISE mother gave the follow
ing excellent advice to her son, with her
dying hreaih," My son, early learn how
to say, no"
\ failure in this particular IS one OF the
most comm3n faults # mankind, from the
highest to the lowest classes of society.
and Is alike productive OF mischief and
misery in all. The following sketch is
from humble life; recorded by a worthy
clergyman.
elbow many of our misfortunes might he
prevented if we could each of us learn 10
say the little word, no! remember, when
/ was a hoy, an inciaent took place,
(which serves to show the Importance Of
The above little word La our village there
lived very fine young fellow, named
j mes; he was one IF thase who could new
er say no. 1t happened that a recruiting
SERGEANT came there to enlist soldiers, and
being pi ased with thoappearance Of Joaess
he invited him into the public house WHERE
he was drinking. Jones did not like to say
no, but he went in. Though sober lad,
not being able to say n, he saon got tipsy
lie then enlisted, aud went anrUad. N3t
being able to say no, he iell ID bad com
pany, and got connected with hem in iheir
crimes. The last heard OF him was, that
he was in JaIl, under sentence Of death.
for sheep Stealing, BAT, through the InfiI-
ence oi his friends, his sentence was ml.
gated to transportatien for life. Before his
reprieye arrived, he spoke to some friend
VINO visited MN, 10 the !ollOWlDg elect {:
50 Ny ruin has been, that never had rest
lrtlDn enough to say no. All my crimes
might have been avoided could have an
swered no, to the first invitation to do
wrong; out not being able to say no 10
merry companion, c. en- when he invited
me To Commit ii crime, thus became an
accomplice."
Reader, doubt not the truth OF this story
but learn from it to take courage to say no
'sln vain the world accosts my car,
And tempts my heart anew,
cannot buy your bliss so dear,
Nor part with Heaven loryou.''
