the blood-staincd sheets aside, his
task was again resumed with unsha-
ken firmness. In this seeming con-
fiict between destiny and himself,
Waring triumphed. He lived twelve
hours longer than to the physicians
seemed possible, and had still time
to have paid some attention to his
eternal welfare. Our information
leads us to believe that this was en-
tirely disregarded, and that he died
as unforgivingly as he lived. 1t is
said that one of his family begged, on
Bonded knees, that he (Waring }
would forgive his enemies-he shook
his head and stamped his foot in
stern denial.
So passed from this earth, after a
life of turmoil, strife, bitterness, and
bloodshcd, JOHN U. WARING. May
his spirit find more peace in the
next, than was vouchsafed to him in
this world.

Young men! if you have arrived
at the right point in life for it, LEI
every other consideration give way
to that of getting married. Don''
think of doing anything else. Keep
poking about among the rubbish Of
the world till you have stirred up a
gem worth possessing, in the shape
of a wife. Never think of delaying
the matter; for you know, delays
arc dangerous. A good wife is the
most constant and faithful compan-
ion you can possibly have by your
side while performing the journey
of life--a dog isn't touch to her.
She can "smooth your linen and
your cares" for you--mend your
trousers, and perchance your man.
ners-sweeten your sour moments
as well as your tea and coffee for
you-ruffle, perhaps, your shirt bo-
som, but not your temper; and, in
stead of sowing the seeds of sorrow
in your path, she will sew buttons
on your shirts, and plant happiness
instead of harrow teeth in your bo-
som. Yes-and if you are too con-
foundedly lazy or too proud to do
such work yourself, she will chop
wood and dig potatoes for dinner !;
for her love for her husband is such
that she will do anything to please
him-except receive company in her
every day clothes. When woman
loves, she loves with a double dis
titled devotedness; and when she
hates, she hates on the high pressure
principle. Her love is as deep as
the ocean, and as strong as hemp
en- halter. She won't change it, ex-
cept it is in very strong fit of jeal-
ousy; and even then it fingers, as if
10th to part, like evening twilight at
the windows of the west. Get mar
ried, by all means. All the excuses
you can fish up. against doing the
decd amt worth spoonful of pig
cons milk. Concentrate your al
fections upon one object, and not
distribute them crum by crum among
a host of Rachels, Marias, Lauras,
Carolines, Julias, Matthias, Berthas,
Emilys, Marthas, Sarahs, Mays
and Elizas-allowing each scarcely
enough to nibble at. Get married,
and have somebody to cheer you as
you journey through this 'lowly vale
of tears'-somebody to scour up
your dull, melancholy moments, and
keep your whole life, and whatever
linen you possess in some sort Of
Sunday go-to-meeting order.

She read to me Of holy men,
The patriarchs of old;
And gazing downward in my face,
She seemed each infant thought to trace,
My young eyes told.
II comes when thoughts unhslowed throng
Woven in sweet deceptive song
And whispers round my heart,
AS when, at eve, II rose on high,

And they depart.
Though round my heart all, all beside
The voice of friendship, love, had died.
That voice would lnger there.
