LADIES THINK OF THIS.

"Vile men owe much OF their vi,eness to no.
men of character, who barely ever fail to receive
them into their society, if the men are rich, tai.
ented and fashionable even though they have
been guilty Of ever 50 much baseness to other
women" ''4'.f'f
Who said that? 1t is as true as a book
and truer than a good many hooks that
are written in these days, and that do not
contain half so much value as is contained
in this paragraph. It is astonishing 10 us
that married and unmarried ladies, who
appear to value their characters, and who
certainly move with much respect in So
clety, will receive into their parties and
caress--nay, will not hesitate to be seen in
public, arm in arm. with men whose char.
acters are too well understood to be held
in the worst sense that should be odious
and abominable to a pure female mind.
We have seen the society of such people
honored and preferred over men of exem.
plary character, merely because the latter
were not called rich and fashionable. Such
an error as this, in the female sex, is posi-
tive injury to sound morals. Ladies need
not wonder at the iniquity there is in the
other sex, as they do not make gull, dis
qualifying circumstance. Thew should
scorn even the approach of such wretches.
for wretches they are, though high in Office
and rich as Cresus-and repel their pres.
ence as an affront and insult 10 their sex.
Let them do this and the guilty would
soon fall to the ignominious level to which
their infamous conduct should reduce
them. We should not be unjust in this
matter, but really we can never see ladies
of quality allowing themselves under any
circumstances, in the company of men
whose Characters are doubtful, without
having our own fears that innocence is not
on their own side. a woman, as a man,
ought 10 be known by the company she

The Misertes Of q Solitary Life.

ITO be solitary-to be alone---to be
loved by no one--to be necessary to the
happiness of no one--to hear no sigh, to
see no tear in our last hourl Why does this
thought appear so terrible, so appalling to
most people! The lonely are afraid of
themselves
"To be alone? Had we never inwardly
loved--never given our hearts to another
then melhinks, with the thoughts directed
TO the wonders and mysteries of creation.
it would not be hard to pass lonely and
alone through the world; adoring only the
Eternal and Alone One who dwells above
the stars; who is the origin of all thought,
the unfoldcr of all mysteries and of al
enigmas--then methinks it would not be
hard to pass lonely and alone through the
world. But from the moment in which
one person loves another exclusively, he
needs mutual love--or he feels life TO b,
barren and empty-and this is mournfi
weakness 49,. ..- ..

The Hour of Death.

"Eda's spirit, however, seemed to raise
itself yet once more, higher and fteer, upon
the pinions' of death. Is it not thus with
many dying persons' have often heard
so, and have often seen it. When death
approaches many depressed eye raises
on high its glance and beams forth in a
wondrous manner once more before il is
extinguished; many silent mouth opens
itself then, for the first time, and speaks
beautiful, evangelical words. Many a
breath for the first time, breathes forth on
the death bed, long-cherished love. In
life it was SO lient therein, so still, one fan
ced it was quite desolae there; but the de-
liver approached, and now one hears the
heavenly voice, which hitherto. like cap
tive bird mournfully speechless, for the first
time, sings therein. Yes, there are peopls
who only first begin properly to live in The
hour of DEATH -.

Time and Eternity.

"Is ii not remarkable, my friend, how
religion and philosophy unite in order TO
throw light upon our future life. The in
quiries of reason show us that time and
eternity are two different things, as is COM
monty believed; they show TO us that they
exist at the same time, live in and through
one another The temporal without the
eternal would be empty, as the eternal
without the temporal. Man belongs to both
worlds. His life is, at the same time, trans
TORY. 1t is continual entrance and exit
in and out of temporal life. If lie live in
God and strive after the kingdom of God
nothing within his soul can be taken cap
tive and darkcned. Amid all changes of
infinite life he remains free, clear and happy;
a rational work.tool for that which the
Eternal love will have accomplished-he
stands in the most inward harmonious re-
latiouship with nature, with mankind, and
with God. .-r. a. .# e'as..r

A Portrait.

AT the door Of the saloon Serena met
me. She wore white garland in her
light brown hair, and at the sight of her
vanished every dark thought. Ali how
charming was she not this evening, in The
light white dress, with her friendly blue
eyes, her pure brow, and the heavenly
smile upon her lips! Had but the power
to paint her at this momentl As every
flower has its moment of perfect beauty,
so has human being moments in which
his highest and loveles; life blooms forth
in which he appears what he actually is
what he is in the depth of Gods intentions
These feeting irevelations--for there is
nothing abiding on the earth--these are
those which the genuine artist seeks TO lay
hold of, and, therefore, lis unjust to say
of a successful portrait, especially that Of
an intellectual person, that tits hattered."

The Joys of Euen;inugsa

Evening is precious time for friends
who live together. Married people know
it well, and brothers and sisters know it
too. Contrary to the flowers Of nature,
which close their cbaices at the close Of
day, the loveliest flower Of friendship
confdence-loves most TO expand itself at
evening, and breathes forth its fragrance
most gladly under the protection of twi-
light and silence. Then talk we over the
questions Of the day; then conclude we
peace with our hearts, if we have opened
them before to our friend; then seek we
reconciliation from heaven, and offer it to
the world, ere yet the night comes; then
sleep we so sound and sweeily."

Ithas already been often said, BUTT is
so agreeable, TO repeat what one knows is
really so-that it is the peculiar impulse of
a man to glance upward. to admire, and
what is admired to love; and if there be
moments in which general feeling of
brotherhood .peryades mankind, there are
those in which agTeat action or mighty
genius is revealed TO the world. Then the
whole world arises as one man and pays
homage. This homage is br othethood

GREnr FraE AT WILMINGTON, N. Can
extensive and valuable portion Of our unfortun-

laid in ruins by fire probably the most calam.

destroyed, besides an immense deal of property
Of other kinds. Between IL and IL today, whilst
q very heavy gale Of wind was blowing from the

buildings near by, and swept in few minutes
across Princes street to the dwellings of Mrs.

all hope was lost Of saving any Of the Northern
part Of the town above those points, between
Front and Water and Front and Second street.
Onward and onward the flames progressed,
leaping from building to building with fearful
rapidly. In two hours from the time the alarm
was given, the fire had reach the Rail Road De.
pot buildings, a distance Of three eighths Of a
mile from where it commenced. Between
Princess street and the Rail Road, and Second
street and the river, not more than dozen build.

there was an immense quantity Of country pro.
duce, such as naval stores, lumber, DC, all oil
which was destroyed. Many families lost the
whole Of their furniture, others part. We
do not think there was very great value in mer.
chandisc destroyed, the greater part being gol

range Of the fire as the dwelling houses. Ma
