artificial Moonlight. We can tell how to get
up very pretty Imitation otmoonlight in room
II is somewhere stated that luminous bottle may
be prepared, which will give sufficient light in the
night to admit of the hour being easily told on
the dial of watch. The process is as follows:
must I've chosen, and some fine olive oil heated to
ebuton in another vessel; piece OF phospho-
rus, of the size OF pea, must be put into the phi
AL and the boiling oil carefully poured over il, till
the phial is one third filled. The phinl must then
be carefully corked, and when il is to be used it
must be unstopred, TO admit the external air, and
then closed again. The empty space OF the phi
al will then appear luminous aud will give as
much light Il dull moon. Each time the
hight disappears on removing The stopper it will
Instantly reappear. In cold weather the bottle
mus, he warmed in the hands before the stopper
is removed. phial prepared in this way may
he used every night for six months with success.

THE DEATH BED.
~ JAMES ALDRIC

Her suffering ended with the day,
Yet liv'd she at its close,
And breathed the long, long night away,
In statue-like repose.
But when the sun, in all his state,
Humid the eastern skies,
She passed through Glofy's morning gate,
And walked in Paradise.

DISAPPOINTMENT.

All hope for me is vain;
l know my feelings oft rebel,
Yet | must not complain.
Yes, must often wear a smile,
Among the gay and glad,
And seem more thoughtless than the crowd,
When this poor heart is sad.
Long have strove, in vain, TO DO
Above both Want and Care
Yet have only seemed TO gain
The riches of despair.
But | must not complain ut all
Why should weep and pine
My gricf5 do not concern the crowd
No; they are only mine.
y no | must not think of ii
My fondest hopes are o'or;
Farewell tho hope of wealth and fame
tempt your heights no more.
To Beauty's smiles, to Hopes fond hues,
bid a last adieu
| cannot join your iovial throng,
Nor laugh and sing with you.

Morai Obligation Of Bro+rupia. We heard it
stated, not long since, thai baukrup, went into
the shop of creditor 70 whom he ought TO have
felt under great obligations for assistance rendered.
and with II swnggerIng air, said he had paid all
his debts he diddf ol0e a cent--he had taken the
benefit of the bankrupt law. If this remark was
made seriously, it indicates loose morality, in
reference to the obligation to pay debts contracted
IN good luh which, it is TO be feared, is but too
common,
bankrupt or insolvent law, disch ,rges man
from the payment Of debts legally bu not morally.
Ii relieves him from the vexalons Of sherfis and
SUITS in court, bat it does not relieve him of the
duty OF paying his debts if ever he is able. The
design OF bankrupt law is good benign. 1t is
designed to relieve those who are irrelreyably in
volved in debt; whose hands are nd so that they
cannot help themselves who, the moment they
accumulate little property to enable Them TO
transact business, are liable to have it snatched
from them 10y some creditor. To relieve such
persons bankrupt laws Intended, but they
are hot designed TO remove to wipe out, the Just
claim which every creditor has to his honest dues.
No man can quiet his conscience with the belief
TINT bankrupt laws remove all obligation pay his
debts, if prosperity enables him TO do it.
