GAIErY AND GRAvrY.-There is gal
ETY. Of mind and gaiety Of body. They are
Two very different states, but both Joyous. A
man Of gay or lively spirit lives much in
the world Of Imagination, and enjoys much
lively satisfaction there, which is not per-
ceived by the outward observer. He reads,
perhaps, several hours day This does not
look like gaiety. lie is sitting in his slip
pers and his morning gown, scarcely moving
a limb or a muscle smile is not even
seen upon his counienance. He is all
alone he speaks not, sings not, dances
not, laughs not and yet he is gay and
cheerful. He is roaming in spirit amid
fairy matchmaking voyage by sea, with
out the sea-sickness-e tour through tropical
climes, without the exhaustion, the labor,
or the expense. He is plucking roses with
out thorns, and living in Edens without SER
penis. Some people may call him a dull
man; but he is not dull-he is very cheer
ful-he is very gay. On the contrary,
man Of gay personal habits may be very
dull. He goes to balls, dressed up in blue
coat and white waistcoat, white gloves, and
cambria fills; and he quadrilles, waltzes,
polkas, and mazourkss, and yet he is as
dull as door-post He has not said fine
thing all the evening-not funny thing.
He has merely set Of common place phra-
ses in his mouth, which he has the sense to
be quite ashamed TO use too often, and
therefore does not use at all So he stiff
fens himself for the rest Of the evening, and
assumes a medtative air, although his ideas
have all run away from him. He is now
enauiyi, done up with gaiety, cheeriulness,
and mrth. Now all the mirta you could
ever see about him lay in his white gloves
and waistcoat, and the fact Of his being at d
rout The man in his slippers and morn
ing gown is as merry again as this fellow,
and has more ocular breath in one of his
nostrils than the other has in his windpipe
1t is difficult, therefore, TO say what gaiety
is. Sometimes gravity itself is gaiety
-gaety Of mind: and sometimes galety
is gravity a dull sort of fashionable rout-
inc. There is 10 real gaiety unless the
spirit be gay no rout, however splendid.
can otherwise come of triumphantly. Real
gaiety is always conducive to health ard
happiness, but false gaiety is not. But how
are We to distinguish the true from the false !!
Cheerfulness is the sovereign medicine Of
life; whatsoever species Of gaiety succeeds
in preserving this state Of mInd continuous
ly ''irom morn till dewy eve" is genuine
gaiety-none other deserves the name.

AMERICAN CKpAR SwAMPs.-ihese
swamps are from half mile to mile IN
breadth. aud sometimes five or six in length
and appear as il they occupied the lormer
channel of some choked-up river, stream'
lake or arm of the sea. The appearance
they present to a stranger 10 singular. a
forest of tall and perfectly straight trunks
rising to tho height Of fifty or sixty 'eei'
without limb, and crowded IN every d.
rection, their tops so woven together ss TO
shut out the day, spreading the gloom oil a
perpetual twilight below. On nearer aP-
proacb. they are found to rise out OF the
water, which, from the imPregnai'on OF
fallen leaves and roots Of the cedars, is oil
the color of brandy. Amidst this bottom oil
congregated springs, the ruins OF the loIner
forest lie in every state Of confusion. The
roots, PROSTATE logs, and in many places the
wafer, are covered with green mantllns
moss. while an underground Of laurel, H.
teen or twenty feet high, intersects every
spring so completely al to render passage
through laborious and harassing beyond de-
scription. Al every step you either sink 10
the knees, Chamber over fallen timber,
squeeze yourself through between the stub,
born laurels, or plunge to the middle IN
ponds made by the uprooting OF large
trees, and which the green moss conceal'
from observation. In calm weather, the
silence Of death reigns in these dreary re-
gions; few interrupted rays OF ligh. shoo
across the gloom; and unless for the occa
sonal hollow screams of the herons and the
melancholy chipping Of one or two small
birds, all is silence, solitude, and desola
ton. When breeze rises, at first it sigh:
moumfully through the tops: but as the gale
increases, the tall mast-like cedars wave
like fishing poles, and rubbing against each
other, produce variety Of singular noises
that, with the help Of little imagination
resembles shrieks, groans, growing Of bears
wolves. and such like comfortable music.

The following pretty LITTLE poem s from volume IN

q philosophy for the rainy days which arc upon Us
In valley that know
Happy scene.
There are meadows sloping Tow,
There the fairest flowers blow,
And the brightest waters flow.
All serene;
But the sweetest thing TO zee,
II you ask the dripping tree,
Or the harvest-hoping swain,
Is the Rain.
All, the dwsllers Of the town,
How they sigh,
How ungratefully they frown
And when the cloud-king shakes his crown,
And the pearls come pouring down
From the sky,
They descry no charm at all
Where the sparkling jewels fall,
b And each moment Of the shower,
Seems an hour.
Yet there's something very sweet
In the sight,
When the crystal currents meet
In the dry and dusty street,
And they wrestle with the hes
In thelr might.
While they seem to hold a talk
With the stones along the walk,
AND remind them of the rule,
To keep cool"
But in that quiet dell,
Ever fair,
Still the Lord doth all things well.
When his clouds with blessings swell,
Anc they break trimming shell
On the air;
There the shower hath its charms,
Sweet and welcome TO the farms,
As they listen TO IFS Voice,
