Thoughtless Marriages.-It is unwise
to indulge any preseniment that we are
born 10 i'll fortune and that the issue of our
undertakings will bo unprosperous. We
are most of us apt to pitch our expecta-
tons too high, and when disappointed we
score the result 10 any cause but our iEl
prudence. A girl. for example, makes an
imprudent marriage she puts her neck into
the moose with her eyes shut, aud when
she finds it an iron chain instead Of a silkea
cord, she lays the fauI:, not upon her own
indiscretion. hut upon her destiny; while
her friends, not more reflective than her.
self, console her with The assurance that
marriages are not made in Heaven. Love
is certainly most delightful feeling, but
unhapply il rs not like the widows cruise
of oil. There may he here and there, n
heart-a female hearf--that has an cx-
haustless store but such treasure is not TO
he rrckoned upon. The tender passion
like every thing thai is tender-musl be
fostered, and fed, and nourshed, or its
strength will impercepiably fade, and IFS
energies die away Above all, it must be
sheltered from the blight of poverty. Those
who have been from birth accustomed 10
struggle on without repinins, and those
who have never known what it is to be
poor, should never, by ar imprudent mar
riase, expose themselves 10 become so.

TIE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH.

BY II. W. LoEGFELoW.
Under spreading chesnut tree
The village smilhy stands;
The smith, mighty man is he,
With large and sinewy hands;
And the muscles of his brawny arms,
Are strong as iron bands.
His hair is crisp, and black and long;
His face is like the tan;
His brow is wet with honest sweat;
lie earns whale'er he can,
And looks the whole world in the face,
For he owes not any man.
Week out, week in, from morn till night
You can hear his bellows blow;
You can hea. him swing his heavy sledse
With measured beat and slow,
Like sexton ringing The old kirk chimes
When The evening sun is low.
And childred coming home from school
Look in at The open door;
They love to see the flaming forge,
And hear he bellows roar,
And catch the burning sparks that fly
Like chaG from rashing floor.
lie goes on Sunday to The church,
And sits among his boys;
He hears iI,e parson pray and preach,
lie hears his daughters voice
Singing in the village choir,
And makes his heart rejoice.
I, sounds 10 him like her mothers voice,
Singing i'll Paradise!
lie ueetIS must trrnh UrE..'.>..s~ .....:~,
How in the grave she lies;
And with his hard rough hand he wipes
A tear from out his eyes.
Toiling-rejoicing--sorrowing-
Onward through life he goes;
Each morning secs some task begin,
Each evening sees ii close;
Something allempted-something done,
He earned nights repose.
Thanks, thanks TO nee, my worthy friend
For the lesson lEou hast taught;
Thus at the flaming forge of life
Our fortune mus be wrought,
Thus on its soundicG anvil shaped
Each burning deed and thought.

"HEAR BOTH SIDES"

SHEAR BOl LII SIDES.
All nonsense! Lord how strange it is
That fulks, day alicr day.
Will preach from such old fashioned texts
Moreover, such obey;
a rninous old error, in
All cases, on my oath
One never hears sile at all,
As long as he hears both!
It's wrong-we know Of several
All very wise indeed;
And MOI one of 'cm, as don't
Go right against such creed;
Nay some Of 'em has 60, plan,
Which better still we call;
They're wise bout ev'ry thing, and yet
Don't hear no side at all.
Hear both sides !-reg'lar humbug, and
The matter can't be minced;
The aim of ev'ry one, Of course,
Is but TO be convinced
And who are they as in The first
To say IL know I'm right
Why them one-sidcd ones, as wont
Sec rorher when they might!
Conviction The last point of all,
That some 10 reach is able;
Exalnirin', and lalkiu', aud

A fghlu' with each other, and
a botherin mankind;
And all, confouud 'em just because
They can't make up their mind.
Lord how we do admire to see,
A man that's self. contenled;
Without doubt about himself
Or any thing tormented;
And wha, is best Of ALL not one

He's always on the right ride too;
