Change Of RuSinesS.

From a recent number OF Chambers
Edinburgh Journal we quote the following
concluding paragraph OF an Essay on the
duty of beGug contented with the business
IN which we were engaged-never to re-
gard It with shame or dissaii.fsctlon;
The supposed capabilities of man for
another employment should never have the
effect Of making him despise or neglect hls
present one, however humble II may be.
II II is worth our while to do thing at
all, II is surely worth our while TO do it
well. If there be any false shame on the
subject, il ought to be banished by the re-
hecliOn, that there are a vast number Of
men Of worth and talent superior to ours,
Iaborng, and laborlng cheerlully at still
meaner empIoymen,s. Besides, it should
ever be borne in msei, that even IN com.
ParaIlvely obscure situations in life, there
may be, and is, the greatest earthly happl.
ness. By a due culture Of The faculties,
by refining the sentiments, any artisan may
enjoy a satisfaction of mind equal to the
greatest man 10 the parish. One who
values genius merely as a means Of sd.
'ancement in the world, cannot know or
ieel what genius Is. Yet on this false es.
innate are based great proportion of the
dreams which disturb the existence and
irIIler away the energies of youth. IL
IS not spiritual, but temporal glory for
which the common visionary pants. IL
is not lhe souls Of men he desires to take
captive, but merely their pockols the par
saise which opens TO hls minds eye be.
!ohd the counter, Is composed of fine hous-
IS, gay dresses aud luxurious meals. The
'neanness Of such aspirations enables us TO
a'y without compunctlon, that he who IN
Glges them, no more possesses the intel
'gc'ual capabilities he lancies, that lie is
lAey to enjoy lie substantial rewards Of
industry and perseverance,

\ 0 ! T II T D L HOURS.

Oh, gone forever are the hours,
The sunny hours when life was new,
And every path led on through flowers
OF sweetest scent and loveliest hue
When every little cloud that flung
Its transient shadow from the sky,
Was sure TO have rainbow hung
Upon 1t as it Journeyed by
And who shall chide us if we shed
A tear to-day, though shed in vain,
Der so much JOY and beauty fed
That never can be ours again
For now it is we see how bright
Were those young hours we have resigned
Now, when we've reached another height,
And turning, sadly look behind!
Oh, had we seen them then, as now
We see them through the lapse Of years,
How feeting had they seemed, and now
Replete with smiles and free from tears!
How gladly would we have delayed,
If possible, their rapid flight,
And kept them with us till we made
Them double all their sweet delight
But they are gone, oh, they are gone,
They never can again be ours,
Those sunny hours that led US on
In gladness through the blooming flowers
With onward march and dark array,
The sterner years have come at last,
And pushed our little friends away,
Away into the solemn past.
And now with many a sigh and tear,
AS we move up the rugged hill,
At every step they will appear
More lovely, more enchanting still
Like sparkling founts and shady groves
With all their GOODNESS and their bloom,
To him who, having left them, royes,
Still deeper in the deserts gloom.

ABBATH THOUGHTS,

II is '' fading fast away
Smiling sadly, as it dies
This calm and gentle Sabbath Day.
How have we lived its hours
How have we culled its flowers,
How have we used our powers
Father in Heaven dare we ask
Thou who hast seen beneath the mask,
We have knelt down to pray,
And breathed words bereft of soul,
And crushed loves kindling ray;
And dreamed of beauties fair and bright,
Which closed our souls 10 Gods pure light
And bowed our wils'neath sins strong might
The world in US should have no part
And sins have filled each wandering heart.
All Father if we love thee well,
The lleeting hours would be knell,
Warning our thoughts above.
And sadness, and wild longings vain,
And vanity, and pride, and pain,
Give place to holy love,

ADDRESS OF NJ KOssUTH

The following eloquent address to the nations
of Europe forms part of proclamation recent
ly issued by NJ. kossuth
"The armies of the Hungarian nation have
already fought out their quarrel with Austria
The liberated country need only to be made to
flourish But the House of Hapsburg Lorraine
had once more petitioned the Russian despot
for aid, and he broke into Hungary at the head
of I20, 900 Russian troops; through Cronstadt,
Lemberg, and Vienna, he broke into our coun-
try--the country Of the martyrs of liberty
'' We do not throw down our arms. We VIII
fight the armies of the allied tyrants OF Europe.
God is just his power is almighty; he hallows
the battle field for the weak, and the strength
of the mighty and the wicked is broken.
But we would speak loud and solemn
warning to the constitutional Governments and
the nations of Europe.

Elegant Extract,

There is an eventIde in human life
season when the eve becomes dim and the
srenglh decays, and when the winter of
age begins TO shed upon the human head
It's prophetic SHOWS. Ii is the season of
lie to which the autumn is most analogous :;
and which it becomes, and much il would
profit you my elder brethren, to mark the
Instruction which the season brings. The
spring and summer Of your days are gone,
and with them no, only joys they knew,
bni many Of the friends who gave them.
You have entered upon the autumn Of you,
belng-and whatever may have been the
Profusion OF your spring-or the warm
temperament OF your summer, there is a
season OF stiffness or solitude which the
benefcence of heaven affords you, in
which you may mediate upon the past
aud future, and prepare yourself for the
mighty change you may soon undergo.
1t is now that you may understand the
magnificent language of heaven-it min.
gles its voice with that OF Revelation
II summons you TO these hours when the
leaves fall and the winter is gathering, TO
that evening study which The mercy OF
Heaven has provided in the book of saliva
ton. And while the shadow valley opens,
which leads TO the abode Of death, i, spe axis
Of that love which can comfort and save,
and which can conduct to those green
pastures and those still waters where there
is an eternal spring for the children of
God

THE HUNGARIAN VICTORIES.
The following account Of the late Hun
garian victories is from the London Exam.
ner;
Since our last accounts the IIungarians
have been victorious both in the north and
south. La the latter division Of the king
dom the army of the Ban has been com
pletely crushed. The engagement took
place at ST. Thomas, on the l4th. The
Magyars, whose numbers are laid al Go,
600, are said to have been commanded by
Benz, whom Gen. Groteuhelm's bulletins
represent as having been defeated by him
four days earlier, ''on the 10Th, al Bistritz,
on the eastern extremity OF Transy ylvana,
and 400 miles from the scene OF the Bans
overthrow. Leaving this riddle TO be
cleared up by later reports, there is no
doubt of this blow, which has been long
expected by the Hungarian party, having
been planned by Bem.
Great demonstrations were made al Per-
lass opposite TO Titel, and the Seryian gen

sincerity Of these, and that it was the set
