1 Tnr CHARMs or LIFE There area ihons
and things in this world to alfict and sud en-
bnt oh how many that are beautiful and
good. The world teens with beauty with
sbiecls which gladden. the eve and warm the
heart. We might be happy If we would.
There are ills that we cannot escape, the ap-
proach ofdisease aud death, OF misfortune, the
sundering of cart y ties and canker worm Of
grief; but a vast majority Of the evils which
bcsct us might be avoided. The curse Of in
temperance, interviewer as is 10 with all the
ligaments Of society, is one which never strikes
but 10 destroy. There is hot one bright page
upon the record Of lis grcss-nothing TO
shield from the heariiest exccrations of the
human race. II should not exist--it must not.
Do away with all this-et wars come TO an
end, and let friendship, charity, love, purity
and kindness, mark the intercourse between
man and man. We are too selfish, as If the
world was made for us alone. How much
happier shoull we be were we to lalor more
earnestly 10 promote each others good, God
has blessed US with a home which is not all
dark There is sunshine everywhere-in the
sky, upon the earth-there would be in most
hearts, if we would look around US. The
storms die sway, and bright sun shines out
Summer drops her tinted curtain upon the
earth, which is very beautiful, even when au'
tumn breaths her changing breath upon it.
God reigns in heaven. Murmur not at be-
ing SO bouu,iful, and we can live happier than
we do

that he has just received letter from his BROTH

extract, and If it is not exaggerated, it presents
a frightful picture.

they only thought how to get here. Thou
