G o D-IR EARTED PEOPLE.
BY T. S. ARTHUR.

There are two classes in the world: one acts
from impulse, and the other from reason; one
consults the heart, the other the head. Person;
belonging TO the former class are very mucl
liked by tao majority of those who come in con
tact with them; while those OF the latter class
make many enemies in their course through life
Still, the world owes as much 10 the latter as to
the former-perhaps a great deal more.
MIR. Archibald May belonged to the forme
class; he was known as a good-hearted man. Ht
uttered the word ''no" with great difficulty and
was never known to have deliberately said tina
to another which he knew would hurt his feel
ings. If any one about him acted wrong, ht
could not find it in his heart to wound him b,
calling his attention TO the fact. On one &C ca
sion, a clerk was detected in purloining money
but, it was all hushed up, and when Mr.. MAJ
dismissed him, he gave him a certificate ofgooC
character.
"How could you do sol" asked a neighbor
to whom he mentioned the fact.
How could | help doing it, The young maj
had a chance Of getting a good place. 1t woulc
have been cruel in me TO have refused to aid him
A character was required, and, | could do NJ
less than give it. Poor, silly fellow! lam sur
| wish him well. | always liked him."
"Suppose he robs his present employer"
she won't do that, | am certain. He is to-
much ashamed of his conduct while in my store
II is a lesson to him, And, at any rate, | do no
think a man should be hunted down for a singl,
fault"
"No: of course not. But, when you endors
a mans character, you lead others to place con
fidence in him; a confidence that may DO betray
ed under very aggravated circumstances"
"Bettel that many suffer, than that one innc
cent man should be condemned and cast off,"
"But there is no question about guilt or innt
cence. II was fully proved that this young ma
robbed you"
"Supposc it was. Nc doubt the temptatio
was very strong. don't believe he win ever b
guilty of such a thing again"
You have the best evidence in the world tn
he will, in the fact that he has taken your m,
ney."

Sir Tsaac Newton was one day asked, Chow he
had discovered the true system of the universe?"
lie replied, "By continually thinking upon it,"
He was frequently heard 10 declare, G that ifhe
had done the world any service, it was due to
nothing but industry end patient tkoaght-that
he kept the subject under consideration con-
stantly before him, and waited till the first dawn
ing opened gradually by little and little to a full
and clear light.

HOPE.

If hope be dead-why seek to live2
For what besides has life to give?
Love, life and Youth, and beauty, too,
If Hope be dead-ay! what are you!
Love without Hope! it cannot be
There is q vessel on yon sea,
Becalmed and ~sail-less as Despair,
And know-'tis hopeless Love floats there.
Life without Hope! o that snot,
To live; but day by day, to rot,
With feelings cold and passions dead;
To wander DER the world and tread
Upon its beauties and to gaze,
Quite vacant, if this be life! then say
''Who lives when Hope has fled away?"
Youth without Hope! And endless night,
Trees which have felt the cold springs blight,
The lightning's flashes, and the thunder's strife,
Yet pine away a weary life
Which older would have sunk and died
Beneath the strokes their youth defed-
But, curst with length Of days are left
To rail at Youth of Hope bereft.
And Beauty, too, when Hope is gone
Has lost the ray in which it shone;
Andseen without this borrowed light,
Now what avail the silken hair,
The gentle smile, the gentle air,
The beaming eye, and glance refined
Faint semblance of the pure in mind
AS gold dust, sparkling in the sun,
Points where the richer strata run?
Alas! they now just seem to be
Bestowed to mock at Misery;
They speak of dayslong long gone by,
They point to cold Reality,
And with a death-like smile they say
'Oh! what are we when Hopes away?
Thus Love, Life, and beauty, too,
When seen without Hopes frightening hue,
All signs in Misery's saddest tone,
''Why seek to live if Hope be gone 2"

MAN.
STOOD with the goatherd at his door,
Beside the mountain rills,
And thought his tranquil visage bore ..r
The nobesse Of the hills
II said: am bred of purer air
And lighter clay than thou;
do not languish on scanty fare,
Nor fade on the mountains brow.
And methought though rude his looks anc
ways, ....
Thus dwelling from all apart,
That reason spoke in his cheerful gaze,
And light and kindly heart ...
sat with the criminal in his cell,
And my very soul grew chill,
As saw him flush with the fires of hell
When he told of his deeds of i'll. q"
The strain Of triumph DER him swept
Fiercely and darkly he smiled;
1t ceased the murdrer turned and wept;
lie had spoken of his child.
The mountain maid stood in the wind,
In natural lovelness;
And in her face read her mind
Was simple as her dress
Her feelings knew no artful check,
Her life and soul were true;
The heart and cross hung on her neck,
And they were all she knew.
! saw the wanton child of sin a7.
ln gaudy beauty drest:
Deflement dwelt her lips within,
And horror in her breast.
The net OF vanity and youth Hr-.sf
She spreads with eager hands,
When 10! the holifst son OF truth,
JESUS, before her stands
The withering rosos leave her hair,
The bold ssnile disappears,
She bows before him in despair,
She bathes his feet with tears.
Thank COP, thou blessed human heart,
There is ever hope for thee;
Thou dearest wheresoever thou art,
His stamp of majesty.
Could man bat love the guilty one
As the just COP loves him still,
The race OF crime would soon be run,
Aud crushed the power of i'll.
Could we but pray Jesus prayed:
They know not what they do,
Forgive them Father hearts were made
And earth were born anew.

The Use OF Flowers,

Con might have made the earth bring f,r'a
Enough Tor great and small

Without flower al all,
We might have had enough, enough
For every want Of ours, ..H
For luxary, medicine and loil,
Andyet have had no flowers.
The ore wi,hio the mountain mine
Requireth none 10 grow,
Nor does it need the lotus flower
To make the river flow.
And clouds might give abundant rain,
The nightly dews night fall,
And the herb that keepeth life in man
Might yet have drank them all.
Then wherefore, wherefore We're they made,
Aud dyed with rainbow light,
All fashioned with snrremesl grace,
CrsPringing day and Hish,-
Spring,ng in valleys green and low,
And on the aseua'ain high,

Where no man passeth by
Our outward life reqnres them not
Then wherefore had they birtht

An ANCIENT DRua.--in the roVms of the
Connecticut Historical Society there is an an
tique drum shown to visitors amongst other IN
teresting relics of past time, which was used IN
l7ls by the citizens OF Pennington, "to call the
people together on the lord's day, and on pub
lie occasions !" to the archives of which village
the following record is attached
Paid Stephen Andrews for drumming fO Is
Paid Nathaniel Cowles for drumming 0 Is 4
Paid Daniel Woodruff for drumming Ol3
Paid Joseph Bid for drumping Ol3 A
The Boston Transcript thinks that probably
the phrase that we sometimes hear used, Of
drumming the people together" had its rise
with this old custom.
