REFLEcTIoNs.-We look with delight upon the
bright and joyous countenances of children; the
endearing caress, and smile Of innocent affection,
alike find their way to our hearts Yet this very
innocence, this uRSusPecting confidence, is the
first thing they lose by association with heartless
world We love to look upon beautiful woman,
as she stands before US arrayed in her oveliness:
we love to follow the quick rovings of they eye
that 'wins it wanders, dazzles where it dwells"
we love 10 listen to the sparkling wit, or to gaze
upon the tear Of compassion; yet time waves his
sceptre DER the beautiful and they are moi" and it
is melancholy to reflect that the proud beauty be-
fore us must sink into the grave and that the love-
4 ly form is but a dainty morsal for the worm
/ But letu follow out our thoughts still further
and we shall see that this contradiction is only ap
parent. Does not this very decay assure Us OF an
other and brighter existence! The blossoms fade
it is true. but it is TO give way to the fruit. True,
the child loses its joyousness and innocence, but
manher and nobler virtues may take their place.
True, the lovely woman dies and the natural bo-
dy" becomes food for The worms but the " spirit
ual body may come forth, brighter and BETTER
from the fiery ordeal Of death, ''the corruptibe put
on interruption, and the mortal, Immortality"

UNIVERSAL PLIs.-What viftuous things are
pills and panaceas, and how astonishing it is that
: diseases can exist in the world while we have SC
many universal and infauible remedies. One great
public beneactor proves the virtue of his medicine
by offering five hundred dollars fit fails Ano-

by his wonderful discovery. Every pill manuiac-
turer keeps poet laureat, paid by the year, hal
salary in pills: and the virtues Of patent pills are
: sung to the world through the newspapers in most
melodious verse. But we hear Of one pious metho-
dist lady who could find no virtue in universal pills

. who undertook the management Of some Of hen
land She thought herself clever enough to man
age Jonn Clawbacon and the rest OF them; so one
day she stood by when John was at his dinner

Now knowing the elasticity Of Johns stomach, as
he was rising to 60 TO his work, she said, John it
would save time of coming and going if you would
sit down again and take your supper NO objec-
ton in the world" said John, and down he sits
instanter, dispatches another pound or two, and
drank in proportion, ending with the ladyship's
health and many thanks. Now, then John quoth
the Lady Bountiful. you may 60 to your work.
Work ma am, said John with grin, l never
