""i'SiiiiESS3 WHICH is u SluC from
these outward objects, aad which relates
to the settlement Of our accounts with
ourselves, takes no part in the drama of
existence, and is untried before the fo.
rum OF conscience.
How seldom do we strive to be ac-
quaintcd with ourselves! with the
springs OF action which governs us-the
course of life which we pursue-the
very detail Of criminal carelessness
which marks our conduct-all is unno-
ticcd as we sweep onwards to death.
Is there no remcdy-let each Satur-
day night sit in judgment upon the 9th
or SIX days Of the week, and let the Sab
bath be devoted to virtuous resolutions.

HE CoNrESsIoN.-A cloud was seen
TO pass suddenly over the features Of
Maria. The lnstre forsook her dark eyes.

injure you-my dearcst-by word or
action? Tell me-and by thine heart,
as pure as Heaven, will never rest till
I've redressed thy wrongsl Is an aw-
full mystery locked up in thy bosom, that
[ must know? Tell me the secret
and by the ringlets of thy hair I'll never
reveal it, though the blacklist torments
rack me | tell thine own Harry " "what
lies heavy in thy breastW
She blushed, she placed her fair hands
across her bosom, looked languidIy into
her lovers face, and softly like the last
breathings OF an expiring saint-she
thus confessed: Iis them darn green
apples H@ruy.
Tie COUNTRY Girls MEMORANDUM.
As we were going along the
street yesterday afternoon, says
the Cincinnati Commercial, we
picked up a rather nice looking
scrap Of paper, which was cover
ed all over with a delicate looking
hand writing. 1t was without
doubt dropped by some young la
dy-perhaps young and beautiful,
who lives in the country, and is
her memorandum of things to be
done, while in town. 1t reads as
follows 4" Call at DR.. Hawes''

teeth get two papers Of pins, and
four of assorted needles; buy some
grass cloth for a new petticoat
