HOPE.

OF rugged life. to lead woe parcn, on,
And make our hnppest state no tedious thing
There is one thing that more clearly prove.
the benevolence of Deity. than in ivinn
hope to man. In a world like this, where
there are so many hardshipS and adversr
prospects, how kind is our Father TO plant
hope in every breast Animated by the
bright visions with which hope pleasnpIy
paints the future, we are enabled to overlook
present trials. Deprive man of hope, and he
would b. the most miserable being on earth.
Where present happiness fails. hope begins.
M sooner is one object gained than another
Is sought. 1t is fondly imagined ihatt" gain
certain point will procure permanent fclc-
ty. We forget that scenes of unmingled Joy
belong not to this earthly sec q. iIGrr. hap
piness ever elndes our pu.eul--
'IIope springs eternal in The human breast;
Man never is, but always TO BE- blest'
Let US now coniine ourselves TO 81: ole
view, for hope is infinitely connected with
every event in our existence. We will con
slider lis influence in the hour Of sickness.
Or all the evils to which mankind are sub
jcct in the physical world. sickness is the
most dlsheartening aud gloomy. In the en-
Joyment of health, we can endure with iorti-
tude many Of the ills Of lille. But when we
are taken from business and pleasure, and
entirely prevented from ninging in society
by the palsyiug hand of disease, we then
learn the instability of earthly cnjoyments.-I
But though health is gone. still hope remains
like kind companion, ana cheers the mind.
'lt guides US through, nor quits us when we die
1t remains with MS till we are at last in
formed that the fatal hour has arrived when
we must lose our hold upon earth and its
pleasures. For moment the
mind wavers, but soon. the spirit ever active
and unconfned, springs beyond the bounds
of time.
ITS by the faitlf of joys 10 come
We walk through deserts dark as night,
Till we arrive at heaven our home,
Faith is our guide, and truth, and light
Thus man is cheered and sustained BY
hope in the hour OF sickness and death. How
benevolent then is our Creator, who after
having made man frail and dependent gave
him hope as kind Of sntidote to the ills of
life. Let it be our aim to love aud serve him
faithfully.-[Irumpa & Magazine.

admit, for he six feet four inches and one hail.
Flourish affects to be looking after some nch herr

day or two TO "go courting"- 1t may oe true OF
il may not. He is certainly not an infuenuai man

class of individuals who borders on the sublime, ana

His favorte position, or Sunday (as the young

Some of the brokers, the liberal righteousness

This would, however, tear the veil from the specua-

Well, then, TO return to the excursion. You must
know that, in the first place. that little sylph Of all
little steamboats,, called the Bcho chartered for
the occasion by the committee, and according TO APP
polntment she was at her station the foot of Canal

portion of the company were taken on board COM

"All. aboard that's going! shouted the man at the
plank of the gangway, as we merry trlpped from
the wharf to the deck of the steamer. Then came
forth merry peals from the bells, and presently
we found ourselves IN the middle of the noble and
majestic Hudson. The moon, which was not before
visible could Just be perceived rising above the tops
of the then black looking domlcls OF the city, which,
by the bye, we thanked our stars we were rapidly
leaving behind US.
In about five minutes from the time Of starting we
were brought up along side the state prison dock,
where the carriage loads OF charming young creatures
with Their parents and projectors were waiting our
arrival Among these were the truly interesting ia
mily of the SIS whom no doubt most of your
readers are acquainted with, they have been at
tached for many years this country TO some of our
most powerful and effective corps drdmdtiqle, and
have appeared in almost every city IN the Union. A
number of others, likewise OF both sexes, shortly
made their appearance, slowed themselves snugy
away and once more we were on our Journey up the
river But we were not alone on the deep blue wa
ters for OF the prees boat clubs that grace our
prettiest Of all pretty bays and rivers accompanied
us, and, although they had steam to contend against
they were bat ten minutes behind us when we reach
ed the landing.
After the company had all made their way on
shore we were formed into procession and marched
from the boat to the hotel of Mr.. Pouson where the
ball was held and then right merrily we all went at
IT, and lido you baievet y danced without lntermls-
sion until supper was announced, at twelve o'clock.
Miss B was there with young lady in compa-

Turkish costume, white, trimmed with bue-and
they passed of as sisters 10 those who knew nothing
oft But as Dr. Valentine says, when personating
the character of an old maid folks needn't think TO
deceive me-
About three o'clock we all returned to the city,
with the bright and glorious moon still shining IN all
her loneliness Ger our heads. Every individual ap-
peared highly delighted with the entertainments of
the evening" and you may depend that none were
