HUMAN life. with its vicissitudes and
changes, its bright CLEANS Of sunshine,
and its dark hours OF shadow, is a study
which may well claim the interest of the
reaecting mind. The prize is one of va
ried character, now bright with hope,
.gildsd by anticipation, then shrouded in
gloom. Trace but the history of sin
gle individual from infancy to maturity,
and thence on to the decline Of life, and
how checkered are its lines the favored
child OF ease and indulgence may see
friends, fortune, all departing, till the last
link, the last tic of life is while
he who in penury and sorrow first entered
upon the experience of life, sees himself,
bya succession Of unforeseen circuns1an-
ces, raised to the very pinnacle of pros
porous fortune. And SO the world goes
on, the wheel is ever turning, the secret
springs which influence mans earthly
destiny and produce his moral discipline,
are to US invisible; it is enough that He
who controls and directs them all, is as
perfect in wisdom as in goodness.
he superficial observer looks On and
,exclairns, tits the work Of chance: he looks
not Beyond the surface, he sees not the
hidden causes which have produced the
resuit--he perceives not that character
has exerted powerful influence he ac,
knowledgcs not the doings Of an inscruta-
BILE providence. From slender materials
some manufacture fabric of fhappiness;
while others as wantonly sport with their
own peace and that Of others, and throw
from them every advantage which station,
friends, and all else can offer. How little
docs the parent realize when his found in
diligence is fostering the seeds of passion
IN The child of his affection, that he is
5bsrbing the arrow which is to destroy his
future peace---how seldom does he reflect
that tho indulgence of one selfish feeling
and sinful passion may poison the stream
of life and turn all its waters to bitter
ness.
The changes which mark an indiyldu-
ais LOT, would sometimes seem to battle
all calculations upon cause and effect. =
Again, they would seem the natural result
sof character, asno arbitrary enactment, the
simple following out of consequences, the
effects which as naturally follow from
the previous causes, as the harvest OF au-
tum from the showers and sunshine OF
! Summer. A circumstance, which may
be placed in the latter class, was related
to mo a short time since, which though
wearing something Of the garbof romance,
in its simple truth but confirms the asser-
ton, that the every day occurrences OF
life will occasionally cause fiction and
Imagination to blush for their deficiency.
sWhat is the matter exclaimed Mr..
Meredith, as he entered his own luxuri-
GUS apartment; 'why that frown my
dearest wife-and whether goes my own
little Amelia2' as his daughter hastily
closed the door opposite the one he had
sentered.
sIf a frown was on my brow answer
led Mrs. Meredith, 1T was that ! was bal-
.anoing AmeIa's wishes with my own;
sAnd the scale has preponderatedin heI
favor added Mr.. NJ, finishing the SEN
tcncc his wife had commenced.

Not TO yield thee loves caresscs,
Would my song thy beauty pl ad,
Though bright eyes and raven trssses,
Made me first thy features heed
IN thy looks no thought dis~emlliug,
Coult my constant wa,chings trace,
Bat n soal 10 virtue trembling,
Besmng from thy lovely face.
Thou hast grown fairy creature,
As the, wid>bird over gay,
/ Pea'ins forth some joyous metre.
Through the liyelung summers day:
There's a spell of joy about thee,
Smoothing dewn the brows Of care, =
Home, they say, is drear without thee,
Uap'y scene when thou art there.
This proclaims thy glowing spirit :
But, .bcwar1! when couds arise,
That they may not shade thy merit,
Learn while youthful to be wise:
Thou art fair but, maid! believe me,
Frost will blight the virgin lose,
And thy voice Of joy may leave 'hee,
Ere thy summer days shall close.
Then each friendly lesson cherish
Pass not tines monitions by,
And thy bloom not soon may perish,
Nor thy Iirs repen'ant sigh:
All thy gentle virtues nourish-
All excess of pleasure shun,
All thy hopes shall swe'tly flourish

AMERICAN TRUSS. JAQUITEI'S PAYEEIT,

RNHE superiority of this instrument over
 1. any thing of the kind ever offered to the public is fully proved by the testimony of the most experienced surgeons, and the repeated instances in which perfect cures have been effected. We know that safety and life are jeopardized by neglecting immediate atten- tion instance the frequent painful surgical operations in cases of Strangulated Hernia.
 This instrument is new in theory, and pro- duces the most happy practical results. Gen. tlemen and physicians who take an interest in improvements which tend to alleviate hu- man suffering are respectfully invited to ex- anime this instrument.
 After several months investigation, and having seen many cases under treatment with this and other in- struments of the kind, the undersigned unhesita- tingly pronounces Jaqnhs Anerican Iruss in his C. pnion superior in mechanical construction, retentive power, manner of giving pressure, and especially in ease to the wearer to any instrument before the public. The principle is just one-founded on the principle of adhesive inflammation and the anatomy son for this opinion is, that Hernia has been cured by the application of the instrument in repeated insta- ces. @ DANA HYDE. M. D.
 Certificates and recommendations can bo seen at the Agents room. The best recon- mend is an examination, together with a fair trial. Gentlemen who wish can have six days to prove the perfection of this instrument by wearing it. This offer is made with the belief that none will regret the triling pecuniary consideration in securing an instrument of intrinsic value.
 uYhis Instrument can be had Gt the Aposhe- caries' Hall and at the store cf Dr. J. c. Becl- s0ith, Litchfeld, Conn.

 Deep in his nlan: frame. 'Tis but a drop the comrades cried. In truant-schoolboy tone; It did not hurt us in our robes It will not, now we're grown" And so they drank the mixture up, That reeling, youthful band; For each had learned to love the taste, From his own fathers hand.
