Religion.

Religion never shines with so bright

who embrace it in early youth.
To the aged it gives light, peace

straints upon bad passions. or purifies
every vicious taste. 1t sheds i beau

and lays the foundation for blessings
throughout eternity. 1t is to the
young who listen to IFS voice, a couH-

Have you my young friends sought
this lnestimable treasure! You ear
not prize it too highly. Give to it
your whole heart. Sacrifice for it
pride and passion, the love of pleas
ure and OF the world. Be simple
hearted. Be heavenly minded. Lay
the foundation of piety broad and
deep now. while the habits are plas-
TIC and feelings are lively. Never be
ashamed of your religion. Never
compromise it. Keep IA conscience
void of offence towards God and to-
wards man. Remember you are to
grow in grace. Let every year, if
possible, every day, add perceptiblv

to be actively pious. Try to feel ha-
bitually that it is your duty always
10 make upon others a decidedly reli-
glous impression. Your life and ex-

The "London TimeS."-The pre-
seht circulation Of the London Times
newspaper is about 10000 per diem;
lis average daily number OF advertise
ments during the last six months OF
l843 was 7I8. Taking these num-
bers as the basis OF circulation, we
find that the "Ieading Journal pays
for stamp duty about $4,000 per
annum. and for advertisement duty
about fl7,0OO per annum; making a
total annual contribution to the rev.

OF the Times from a daily circulation
of 10000 would be about E134,0oO

Oh! do not suppose that my hours

Or that thorng never mix with the flowers
That fortune has strewed in my way;
When seen by the cold and unfceling,
We smile through the sorrows we feel;
But smiles are Notwithstanding
The wounds which they never can heal.
The world is Z changeable ocean,
And sun-beams and sorrow abound;
Where the surface seems least in commotion,
The rocks OF misfortune are found:
And man is the pilot, who Steering,

See the gale of prosperity veering,
Which proEIlscd 10 wait him TO port.

And reasons the beacon that gives US

And leads US SO often us;ray.
Our moments Of mirlh may be many,
And hope half our sorrow beguiies;
But believe me, there cannot be any
Whose features are always in smiles.
The heart may be sad and rePIning,
Though cheerfulness brightens the scene
As a goblet with gems may bo shining;
Though bitter the portion within.
A glitterlng volume may cover
A story Of sorrow and NO;

Thus oft. in the sunshine Of gladness,
The cheek and the eye may be drest,
Whilst the clouds of detection and sadness
In secret o'ershadow the breast.
