The following is one of the sweetest illusions Of
the gentle spirit of Charles Lamb. We need offer
no apology for publishing from time to time selec
tons from the best Standard Literature Of the Eng
lish tongue. Those of our readers who are most
familiar with such passages of beauty as that below
will welcome with the kindlicst greeting their ap
roarance here. For the rest, we are a newspaper
reading community. The Poets who have made
our language as imperishable as the GREEK, are in
danger of being forgotten by US amid the rubbish Of
politics and the ephemeral supcrfcialitics of the
Ignorant present" We hope here and there to
make resistance against the tooth of this oblivion
to remember ourselves, and occasionally to remind
others that we belong to the families of those who

g. 4 SERMON FOR Young LADIES. : Dow
Jr., in one of his late sermons, gives the fol-
lowing advice to young ladies':
"My Young Maidens-I know you all
want to get married as soon as you enter
your teens; but it is better to remain single,
and live upon the cold soup of solitude than
to marry misery and wed woe. 1 have but
a poverty-stricken opinion of the majority of
my sex. They are so corrupted by the mis-
called refnements of the age, so inflated with
pride, so fooled by fashion, SO afraid of the
soil on which they live, SO given to cultivat-
ing whisEers and mustaches, while their NOR
ais are in the most wretched state for want of
wedding, and so overgrown with hair, vanity
and laziness, that scarcely one in twenty is
worth being entrusted with wife"

her back from it, only hurries her in before
him. To snatch Jewel from Mrs. Jamcson's
casket he knows he can neither marry her
nor reveal to her the terrific influences which
have changed the whole current of his life
and purposes and in his agony he overactS
the painful part with which he has tasked
himself; like the Judge of Athens who, en-
crossed with graver matters, flung from him
the little bird which had sought refuge in his
bosom with such violence that he unwittingly
killed it."
Ophelia's insanity absolutely eXhausts the
fountains of human pity. The breaking of
her virgin heart lets loose the secrets which
have hitherto enriched it, and their escape
reveals the utter ruin of their once sweet
dwelling-pace. 1t is one of those pictures
surcharged with unuttered and unutterable
woe, over which the mind can only brood in
silent sympathy and awe; which Heaven
alone has heart adequately to pity, and a
hand effectually to heal Its pathos were too
much for our hearts to bear but for the sweet
incense that rises from her crushed spirit, as
|" she turns thought and aflliction, passion hell
itself, to favor and to prettiness." The victim
of crimes in which she has no share but as a
sufferer, we hail with Joy the event which
snatches her from the rack of this world and
in our speechless pity for such helpless jnno-
cence we seek the sure consultations of hope
in the arms of religious faith. In the death
of this gentle creature there is divine depth
of sorrow which strikes expression dumb
In their solemn playfulress, the songs with
which she chants, as it were, her own burial
service, are like smiles gushing from the very
heart of woe. Over this picture so awful in
its beauty, can but repeat the signs of its
most gifted commentator: "Ophclia! poor
Ophelia O, far TOO soft, too good, too fair, to
be cast among the briers of this working-day
world, and fall and bleed upon the thorns Of
life. What shall be said of her! for cloquence
is mute before her. So exquisitely delicate
is her character, it seems as if touch would
profane it; so sanctifcd in our thoughts by
the last and worst of human woes that we
dare not consider it too deeply Her love,
which she never once confesses, is like Sc
cret which we have stolen from her, and which
ought to die upon our hearts as it dies on her
own. Her sorrow asks not words but tears
and from the spectacle of her insanity we feel
inclined to turn away, and veil our eyes in
reverential pity and too painful sympathy"

ing. What renders the unnatural act the
more singular and impressive was the entire
absence, 50 far as has yet appeared to the

ward Is. Philips, of Boston, young man be-
tween twenty-five and twenty-three years of
age, possessed of vast wealth, in tolcrably
good health, enjoying fine flow of spirits,
and seemingly in the full exercise of his rea-
son, terminated his existence by shooting
himself through the head with pistol, while
in bed.
Three letters, one of which was addressed
to his mother, were found on his table A
portion of this letter was read to the Jury
1t simply contained an affectionate farewell

PICTURES OF MEMORY.
By Mss dice Carey.

Among the beautiful pictures
That hang on Memory's wall,
Is one of dim old forest,
That seemeth the best of all.
Not for its gnarlcd oaks olden,
Dark with the mistletoe,
Not for the violets golden,
That sprinkle the vale below;
Not for the white-lilies,
That lean from the fragrant hedge,
Coquetting all day with the sunbearns,
And stealing their golden edge;
Not for the vines on the upland,
Where the bright red berries rest,
Nor the pinlls, nor the pale sweet cowslp,
1t seemeth to me the best.
once had little brother
With eyes that were dark and deep
In the lap of that old dim forest,
He leth in peace asleep;
Light as the down of the thistle,
Free as the winds that blow,
We roved thele, the beautiful summers,
The summers of long ago."
But his feeton the hills grew weary,
And, one ofthe autumn ewes,
| made for my little brother,
A bed of the yellow leaves.
Swectly his pale arms folded
My neck in meek embrace,
AS the light Of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face.
And when the arrows of sunset
Lodged in the tree-tops bright,
He fell, in his saint-like beauty,
Asleep by the gates Of light.
Therefore, of all the pictures
That hang on Memory's wall,
That one Of the dim old forest,
Seemeth the best of all.-N. l. Zee. Pest.

MEXICAN PARRoT.-The Mexican horror
of the Americans is well illustrated by the
following anecdotc:
Immediately after the siege of Vera Cruz,
Col. X was walking along the streets, when
a parrot seeing him coming, screeched out
" Great God Almighty! here comes tie amer
leans aun ! run" The Colonel entered
the house to take look at he creature, and
as he left, it scrccchcd out, with most know
ing look at the family, sang one hut?" 1t
was too much for the Colonel, who returned
and bought the parrot. The rorG avis was
unfortunately drowned by the upsetting of
boat l give the anecdote as slight exem-
plihcation of the fear in which We were held
by the Mexcans. No doubt, the cunning
bird, every day of the siege, had heard SINH
lar expressions; the bursting Of the shells
must often have caused the inquiry, "Any

following beautiful extract, as the first of contem-
