The Music of Nature.

Nature, through all her depths, is replete with
music, varied in its tones and rich in its melody.
There is music in the stiffness of the twilight hour
in the voices of the balmy breeze as it signs
amid the stirring leaves of the star-lit grove, or
sleeps upon the calm bosom of the reposing wa
tiers; in the bubbling of the inland fountain, and
the thunderings of the foaming cataract-in the
r~ipplings of the mountain rill, and the majestic
voice of the storm-stirred sea. There is music in
the joyous symphonies ofthe glad songster ofths
grove beneath, and the mutterings of the pealing
thunders above. In heaven-on earth-in the.
out-spread skies and the invisible air;-in the sol-
itary dell and on the high mountains cloud-veil-
ed top, where human footsteps have never left an
echo-in the deepest cells of the passion-stirred
heart, and the inanimate depths of the material
world; and in the dim rays of earth and the beams
Of those Celestial Lights which gem the high fir
mament and light the angels to their evening orr
sons; in the tones of woman's voice on earth and
the devotions, of the spirits of the better land; in
all, through all, and over all; and forever vibrs-
ting-the rich music of universal harmony and
the deep tones of undying melody! Thousands
ofinvisible harps are pouring their united melody
through the depths of air and earth, and millions of
arch-angels touch their heaven-strung Tyres and
send celestial harmony through the vast halls Of
the temple of the living God, up to the burning
throne of the Dread Eternal One! It is the ar
of the earth-it is the atmosphere of heaven!--
the unbOunded universe is one s~leepless Tyre,
whose chords of love, and hope, and purity, and
peace, arc famed into a dreamy and mystic mel
ody by the breath of the invisible God!-[.Mor
ming Star.
Truth wears well, and sits easier on the wears
er; while new tangled errors, like new fashioned
clothes, please for a while, but pinch me hard
for the sake of the feshion.

The FOOI's Pence.

In the year ls3-, in a handsomely furnished
parlor which opened out of that noted London
gin shop called "The Punch Bowl sat its mis-
tress, the gaudily dressed Mrs. Crowder, CONVEX
sing with an obsequious n~eighbor.
"Why, Mrs. Crowder, l really must say you
have things in the first style. What elegant pa
pering. what noble chairs! what a pair of fire
screens! all SO bright and fresh. Then, the ele-
CANT stone copings 10 your windows, and those
beautiful French window frames. And you
have been sending your daughters TO the gen.
teelest boarding school your shop is the best
furnished, and your cellars are the best filled in
all this part of Lunnun. Where CAN you find
the needful for all these grand things? Dear Mrs.
Crowder, how do you manager"
Mrs. Crowder simpered, and cast a look Of
smiling contempt through the half-open door, in
to the shop, filled with drouthy customers. "The
fools pence! It's the ROOFS PENCE that does it for
u.s. she said. And her voice rose more shrill
and loud than usual, with the triumph she left.
Her words reached the ears of one of her GUS
toners, George Manly, the capenter, who stood
near the counter. Turning his eyes upon those
around him, he saw pale, sunken cheeks, inha-
med eyes, and ragged garments. He then turn
ed them upon the stately apartment; he looked
through the door into the parlor, and saw look
ing-glasses, and pictures, and gliding, and fine
furniture, and a rich carpet, and Miss Lucy in a
silk gown, at her piano; and he thought to him.
self how strange it is! how curious, that all this
wretchedness on my left hand should be made TO
turn into all this rich finery on my right.
swell sir-and what's for you?" said the
shrill voice which had made the FOOLS FENCE
ring in his ears.
"a glass Of gin, ma'am, is what | was wait
ing for; but l think I've paid the last fools pence
that l shall put down on this counter for many a
long day."
Manly hastened home. His wife and his two
little girls were seated at work. They were
thin and pale, really for want of food. The room
looked very cherries, and their fire was so
small as hardly to be felt; yet the dullest obser
yer would have been struck by the neatness that
reigned.
1t was a joyful surprise to them his returning
so early that night, and returning sober and in
good humor.
3Your eyes are weak tonight, wife," said
George, cor else you have been crying. I'm
afraid YOU work too much by candle light"
His wife smiled and said, tcorking does moi
hurt my eyes, and she beckoned to her little
boy, who was standing apart, in a corner-evi.
IDENTIFY as a culprit.
"Why, John, what's this see?" said his ia
ther. "Come and tell me what you have beer
doing"
John was a plain spoken boy and had a straight
forward way. He came up to, his father, and look
ed full in his face, and said, "The baker came fol
his money tonight, and would not leave TIT
loayes without it; but though he was cross ant
rough, he said mother was not to blame, that HI
was sure that you had been drinking away-al
the money; and when he was gone mother crie'
over her work, but she did not say anything.

What was the great Lord Verulam? Alas! too
truly, "the wisest, greatest, meanest of man.
kind" As for Martin Luther, the Reformer, he
was SO passionate and unchristian-like, that he
struck his friends, Melancthon in particular, and
perhaps would have burned him, as readily as
an lnquisitor in those days would have burned a
hereto, in the paroxysms of his rage. Cardinal
Rlchelieu, the minister Of a great empire, believ-
ed in the calculation of natiy;sies. Sir Thomas
Moore burned the hereto TO whom in his wri-
tings he gave full liberty of conscience. Alex
ander the Great was a drunkard, and slew his
friends in his cups. Cesar sullied the glory o..
his talents by the desire of governing his country
despotically, and died the victim of his ambition,
though one of the wisest, most accomplished,
and humane of conquerers; but we are travelling
too far back for examples which should be taken
from later times. Tasso believed in his good
angels, and was often observed to converse with
what he fancied was a spirit or demon, which he
declared he saw. Raphael, the most gifted artist
the world ever produced, died at the age Of
.hirty-seven, his constitution weakened BY IT.
regular living. DR.. Samuel johnson was noto-
riously superstitious. Sir Christopher Wren,
who built St. Paul's Cathedral, was a believer in
dreams. He had a pleurisy once, being in Paris,
and believed he was in a place where palm trees
grew, and that a woman in a romantic dress gave
him some dates. The next day he sent for some
dates, in full belief of their revealed virtues, and
they cured him. DR.. HALEY had the same super
stitious belief. Melancthon believed in dreams
or apparitions, and used to say that one amt to
him in his study, and told him TO bid Guynaus.
his friend, to go away for some time, as the In
QUESTION sought his life. His friend went away
in consequence, and thus, by accident. really sa-
we'd his life. Addison was fond of the bottle,
and is said TO have shortened his days by it,
Burns, the poet, was a hard drinker, and there
can be no doubt wore out his constitution by his
conviviality. Goldsmith was a gambler, and the
victim of the fraudulent. Prior was the dupc o
q common woman, whom he believed TO be an an
gel. Garrick was as vain as any woman, and
equally loved ilattcry. Kneller's vanity was
such that nothing was too gross for him TO swal-
low. Porsyn, the first OF Greek scholars, was
a notorious tippler.
We might multiply examples of this kind with
out end, but we need not have quoted SO many,
10 exhibit how wisely and well the balance is
poised, to keep human pride within due limits.
The same lesson has been taught in al ages; we
must, therefore, take our fellow men while liv-
ing, with the full recollection of their foibles and
failings. When they are taken away from us, and
our f~iattery can no longer injure them, our
admiration may have IFS full measure, and W.
arc justified in suffering their glory, which may
serve the living for an example of emulation,
TO blaze in full refulgence; that being their more
noble earthly quality, destined for the benefit of
future ages in the way of instruction, imitation,
or TO afford harmless amusement.
