Woman.

Woman is like the rose which buds and blooms
on the parterre Of life.
In the cradle, when sweet bud, the fragrance
of affection fills the atmosphere around and about
her.
When the prattle of infancy is heard from her
lips, and her smiles irradiate the eyes Of parental
affection the fragrance increases. AS the bud de-
velOpes its beauties to the eye, and the knit
limbs allow her to fly about the domestic circle,
the joy of her parents is ecstatic There follows
the developement of heart, linking the bud to the
bosoms whence wells maternal affection.
Mind quickly deveopcs its energies, and the
heavenly spark which animates the mortal frame
adds new charms to the cherished object Of al
fecton
The tide Of life flows on, and in its spring new
beauties cluster around the loved one, and in
few summers more she is seen at the alter pledg.
ing her affections to one whose manly worth has
won her pure aud guileleSs heart.
The early hearth is left but not forsaken, for
maternal love has matured her affection not sim
ply for the poor return which many an earthly
flower yields for anxious care.
Her heart is imbued with nature which rcfu-
ses to live without that pure atmosphere which
so far has warmed her being, and caused her la
tent beauties to expand and attract the admira
ton of the manly youth, who claims her for his
bride.
Her wealth i, guileless and confding heart
and the gentle current, whose unruilled banks
she has hitherto culled the sweetest flowers,
gides still by her feet without murmur.
Her happiness is complete for religious faith H.
lumes the present and gilds the future, while
memory reviews the past without a pang from du-
ties neglected or affections not acknowledged.
Youth and beauty attend her steps-all her
days are pleasant, while peaceful contcntment
makes her heart exut as Hope in the vista beck
ons her on to joys in scenes yet to be teaized
But such happiness, like all things which par.
take Of earth, is subject TO the stroke of death
Too often in this world, they seem, like the
flowers Of Nature, which delight the eye, to
be more subject to the scylhe Of the Destroyer.
If the adniring eye of Natures sweetest flower
could shield from harm the mll.blown rose, its
leaves would never wiher, its fragrance never
| die.
If friends could detain the blooming matron
in sphere where her virtues bloom but TO per
ish, many would live to have their old age ira.

ORIGINAL.

Spring.
by A SCHOOL BOY,

The sweet voice offspring, in the vallies does ring
And the winter is fleeing away,
And soon will be lost, the last trace Of the irost
That has marked his lingering stay.
The birds of the air, in their music declare,
Their joy that stern winter has fled,
And gladooss shall be, in the land olahe free,
Where the blessings OF Heaven are she'd
But ali there are some, where no comfort can
come,
In cells, aud dread dungeons confined,
To whom the bright spring, shall no happiness
bring,
No tidings Of peace to the mind.
To evil prey, they themselves cast away
The blessings that Heaven had gave,
And now for their fate, they repent but too late,
For the last hand OF friendship to save.
And thus will prove, in the spring of Gods
love,
When lifes cold winter is DER.
The Just shall be blessed, and their spirits shall
rest, r
And the wicked shall triumph no more.

CULrrRE OF rRAwBFRRIFs.-A practical
man who writes in the EImlculmist, says:-
"Strawbcrrics can be produced in great abundance
and with more ease than any other valuable fruit.
With moderate degree of care and attention
they will yield at the rate Of one hundred bushels
per acre. They will grow freely on any soil that
will give good crop ofcorn; and ifplanied ear
ly in spring, will yield fair crop in June
lie says common error is to plant them in an
old worn out g1rden soil, or to manure them too
highly, which gives vines, butno frnit The best
is good, deep, new soil not cXccSSby rich.

Crime in E'OUeIs.

It's somewhere said by high authority,
that "vice to be hated, needs only TO be
SEEN" Now with all due difference TO the
opinions of this Author, beg leave most
respectfully to differ from him. The as.
serton may be made over and over again,
but the plain common sense of every man
who spends moment in thinking upon
this subject, revolts at the idea. Ii this
were in any case true, the very vice of the
world would, in short time, be its COM
plete salvation for those who saw ves-
tige of vice in companion would delest
and hate it, until all kinds of sinfulness
would be its own destruction.
It's, perhaps, doubtful, whether any man
loves vice for itself alone, but 1t is certain
lysure, that "evil COMMUNICATIONS corrupt
good manners" II is contagious. One
bad boy will mislead the majority Of his
companions, One notorious man corrupts
the whole crew. | will grant that vice is
in itself hatelul--that we naturally avoid
any thing disagreeable; but it is equally
true, that familiarizaton with any person
or thing, weakcns our disgust, and gradu-
ally engenders tolerance if not liking
But need not endeavor to prove these
points any farther, for the experience ofev-
cry man and woman, establishes their truth
And now let us proceed to the point
This is emphatically a reading age. Com

volumes of Cooper and Bulwer and Sue ,
TO the shilling paper covers Of lngraham
and Charles Paul De KOck, There is Of

A Psalm Of Life
WHAT THE HEART or THE YOUNG MAN SAID TO
THE PsALMIsr.

HAT THE HEART or THE YouN" MAN SAID
THE PsALMIsr.
Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream
For the soul is dead that slumpers,
And things are not what they SEEM
Life is real Life is earnest
And the grave is not its goal,
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But TO act, that each tomorrow
Find US farther than to-day.
Art is vain, and time is feeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muflled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the worlds broad field OF battle,
In thy bivouc of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle
BE hero in the strife:
Trust no Future hover pleasant,
Let the dead Past bury dead
Act--act in the living Present
Hearts within, and God o'erhead
Lives of great men all remindus
Wecan make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sand { time
Footprints that perhaps another
Sailing DER life's solemn, main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing
With heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.
