A JEWEL OF A WOMAN.

-Four years ago we were in possession Of facili
ties for looking out upon quiet and humble grave
yard. Early in the morning scahty funeral train
visited the yard, hasty burial service was pro-
nonnced over the plain coffin, the earth was,speed
lily covered over the mortal remains enclosed there
in, and the few mourners departed-all save one
That was girl about thirteen years of age, who
casting herself upon the ground could only sol
''my mothers" until completely exhausted by the
violence Of her grief. She recovered after while
hut the next morning she was at the spot, plant
ing flowers there. Early every morning for two
years afterwards. that girl paid visit 10 her pa
rents grave. In the season Of flowers that mound
doomed like garden, and in the winter its ap
pearance was refreshed by several valuable little
evergreens, and j; was regiously kept clear Of al
unsightly membranes.
One morning last week, chance led US by the
yard, and the first object that met our eyes was

girl is a jewel among her sex, and that the man
fortunate enough to wed her will procure true
woman, than which the earth contains nothing
superior. There are many limitations of the arti

ELEGANT EXTRACT.

There is an even tide in human life; a season
when the eye becomes dim and the strength de-
Gays. and when the winter Of age begins to shed
upon the human head its prophetic SHOWS. 1t is
the season Of life to which the autumn is most a.
nalagous, and which it becomes, & much it would
profit YOU, my elder brethren, TO mark the instruc-
ton which the season brings. The spring and
summer Of your days are gone, and with not only
joys they knew, but many Of the friends who gave
them. You have entered upon the autumn Of
your bsing-and whatever may have been the
profusion Of Your spring-or the warmest temper
ament Of your summer, there is season of still.
ness, or solitude, which the benefcence of heav-
en- affords YOU, in which you may mediate upon
the past and the future, and prepare yourself fol
the mighty change you ,nay soon undergo.
1t is now that you may understand the magnii
cent language of heaven-it mingles its voice with
that of Revelat;on-it summons you to these hours
when leaves fall and the winter is gathering, t.;
that evening study which the mercy of heaven
has provided in the book Of salvation. And while
the shadow valley opens, which leads to the abode
Of death, it speaks OF that love which can comfort
and save, and which can conduct to those pastures
and those still waters where there is an eternal
spring for the children OF God.

One might almost say that the physical part

and ne is not. Great as are his bodily infrmi-

His spiritual resources, his will, his enthusiasm
endow him with the powers of giant although
his physical strength is not more than that of a
boy OF six years. He bids defiance to death that
