the nuts properly cracked and seasoned
with talk, and they say their prayers bet

BEAUTIFUL ExTRAcT.-The glory OF
the summer is gone blythe beautiful
greenness has become withered and dead.
Were this all-were there no associations
of moral desolation-of faded hopes-of
hearts whitening in the bosoms of the liv-
ipp-connected with the decaying scene
nv around us, we would not indulge IN
moments melancholy. The season of
flowers will come again-the streams will
flow gracefully and lightly as betore-the
trees will again toss their cumbrous loads
of greenncss to the sunlight-and, by
NOISY stone and winding rivulet, the young
blossoms will start up, as at the bidding OIL
their fairy guardians. But the human
heart has no change like that oil nature
1t has no second spring-tlme. once
blghted in its hour Of freshness It wears
forever the mark Of the spoiler. The dews
of affection may fall, and the gentle ram
of sympathy be lavished upon itmbut the
sore root Of bhghted feeling will never
again waken into lfe--nor the crushed
flowers of hope blossom with their wonled
beauty.

OLD FRIENDS TOGETHER.

BY CHARLES SWAIN, ESQ.
Oh. time is sweet, when roses meet,
With springs sweet breath around them;
And sweet the cost, when hearts are lost,
II those who love have found them;
And sweet the nlind that still can fnd
A star IN darkest weather;
But nought can be so sweet TO see,
AS old friends met together
Those old days, when youth was bold,
And time stole wings 10 speed 1t,
And youth meier knew how fast Time flew,
Or knowing, did not heed it
Though gray each brow that meets us now,
For age brings wntry weather,
Yet hought can be so sweet TO see,
As those old friends together
The few long known, whom years have shown
With hearts that friendship blesses;
A hand TO cheer perchance tear,
To soothe a friends disiresses;
Who helped and tried. still side by side,
A FREUD 10 face hard weather;
Oh, thus may we yet joy to see.

THE LIVING AND THE DEAD.

The following is from the pen of val
ued friend:--Phil. Ing.
"There is a beautiful moral 10 be ga
,hered from the exhumation and re-inter-
ment of the body of the gallant Mercer.
1t links the living with the dead by the
most enduring ties. 1t whispers in the car
of the patriot, that when he perils his life
for his country, in the noble cause OF free
dom. he leaves in his name, legacy,
through all time TO his descendants-that
his daring deeds viii be warmly remem-
bered and duly cherished, by the millions
that shall tread the earth year upon year,
after his body shall have been consigned
10 the cold embrace Of the tomb. The
patriots corpse sleeps not like the COM
mon clod History puts her signet upon
its sepulchre-the world reads its faithful
page, and ever and anon it breaks in upon
the silent house OF death, and performs
anew the funeral obseques Of the depart.
