HOME AND FRIENDS,

On, there's power TO make each hour
As sweet as heaven designed it
Nor need we roam to bring ii home,
Though few there be who find il
We seek too high for things close by,
And lose what nature found ms
For life has here no charms 50 dear
As home and friends around US
We Oft destroy the present JOY,
For future joys-and praise them;
While flowers as sweet bloom at our feet,
If we'd but stoop to raise them
For things afar still swcetcr are
When youths bright spell hath hound US
But soon we're taught that earth has naugh
Like home and friends around us.
The friends that speed in time of need,
When hopes last reed be shaken,
To show US still that come what will,
We are not quite forsaken;
Though all were night-if but the light
From Friendships altar crowned us,
'Twould prove the bliss of earth was this
Our home and friends around US

BY MRS. SARAH HAYES.

On passing a wood. yard one day, my
attention was arrested by hearing per-
son who was engaged in saving, remark
to gentleman who stood beside him, |
am sorry you are going TO leave town
you are such uncommon good pay
This observation appeared trifling in
ITSELF but there was a great deal in the
tone and to a rejecting mind it carried a
deeper meaning than the mere words would
seem to convey. Uncommon good pay
evidently showed that the gentleman was
an exception to the general rule, and one
who in his practice endeavored TO conform
to the principles laid down by his great
Master in the Holy Scrplures-THE LA.
RoRER Is WORTHY OF HIS HIRE. 1t is my
purpose now to illustrate this by a short
and simple story.
In a garden belonging to handsome
mansion a man might have been seen en-
pIoye1 in digging, from early morning un'
til the heightened shadows gave evidence
that night was approaching. The only
interval Of rest had been at noon, when he
had gone home TO his dinner. lie was
somewhat past middle age, and from the
manner ia which he handled his spade, ap
pesred to understand his business partlcu.

man; but he decelves very few.
Just now we see another man Of this al
ways-owing and never paying class.-
| Some time ago, he contracted heavy
debt and he has never yet seen the time
when he could pay the whole oft at once.
| and therefore, he has paid none of it
Ills income Las been such that he might,
| with lille economy and much self denial.
! nave paid part of the debt every wear,
and by this lime have extlnguished it, but
his conscience does rot seem TO trouble
him at all, although he lives on that which
does not belong to him.
Men may sophisticate as they please.
they can never make il right, and an The
bankrupt laws in the universe can never
make II right for them not 10 paw their
debts. There is sin in this neglect. as
clear and as deserving church discipline.
as IN stealing or false swearing He who
violates his promise to pay or withholds
the payment Of debt, when it is in his
power to meet his engagement. ought to
be made to feel that in the sight Of God
and of all honest men, he is swiadler.-
Religion may be very comfortable cloak
under which to hidei but if religion does
not make man deal justly it is not
worth having.
But what shall poor man do who is in
debt. Let HIM work and pay it. Deny
yourself all the luXuries and very many of
the comforts Of life; be willing to take
humble place in society, and mortify Your
pride : in dress and style Of living be a.
simple and economical as possible; if
necessary, live on bread and water, and
labor diligently, until you satisfy the de
mands Of your last creditor; but never lay
up cent OF money nor spend a cent
needlessty while you owe II 10 another
We wish that this principle could be in.
grained into the hearts and conscience, ut
least OF protesting Christians. There is
looseness on the subject in the church
that is perfectly irreconcieabIe with the
law of God and the maintainauce OF a good
reputation in the eyes of the world.
Let no man be trusted who neglccts 10

Belief in q Snnreme BEING.

WE have often wondered if there was
an Atheist in the worId-a man who be-
!leves in no such omnipoient, alI.wise, all
governing power, as We call God. We
co not believe that such a man exists. He
certainly does not among savages and hea-
lhens. The rude races believe as devoted.
iy 10 God as in tEeir own lives They do
not learn 10 believe this, i; is Instructive
God is born in every human soul, and can
the soul be unconscious Of its own life =?
Among the civilized and enlightened, the
belief of God is deeper and stronger. In
the pride Of vain philosophy, fools and
sometimes sensible men will pretend to dis
believe in God, but they only deceive them
selves. In the darkness of The night, and
on the confines Of The grave, they confess
their err0r-they shudder at the blank they
would if possible have created.
Men who hold the idea of God LIGHT
in the merry days Of life, will cling and
call upon God in hours Of agony. The
necessity Of such pillar against which to
TePose, destroys the possibility of actual
Atheism. What fool must he be who
REJECTS God to prove there is nothing great
er than man. In few days this boaster's
greatness will be dust and oblivion, but the
God whom he defided-though clinging to
him with desperation to the last-wiIl sur
we as glorious, majestic and benefcent
as though the would be Atheist had never
existed. What a blessed thing that the
soul has God to which il can ever turn
with confidence and JOY.

EH THE STEAMER CALEDONIA.
The steamer Caledonia, with dates from
Paris to the 9th, London the 9Th, and Liv.
erpool the 9Th, arrived at her wharf in Bos.
ton at an early hour on Saturday morning.
( The CALEDONIA has 10 passengers for

/ Plymouth, Mass, William Bartlett, master
This vessel on Wednesday, 9th ult.
at half past 3 o'clock, P. NJ, about zoe
miles to the westward of Cape Clear, was
run down by The steamship Europa, and
sunk in three minutes, with l34 Of the pas.
sengers end crew. The catastrophe &C
cured during a dense fog, and. although
! the boats Of the Europa were instantly
( lowered, and every possible assistance rem,
/ dered, only l3 out of the I7G sou!s were
saved ! The captain, mai. and ten Of The
crew are among the survivors.
| The Europa is acquitted of all b,a me,
not only by the Survivors, but by the unan-
imous voice Of the British press and public
\ subscription Of 1852 was promptly
raised by the passengers oc the Europa, to
which the proprietors have added $50.
. They also offered To carry the whole of the

bound from London TO New York with
immigrants, and had on board $50 tons of
merchandise, consisting chiefly of lead and
chalk.
FRANCE AND ROME SURRENDER OF
THE ETERNAL CITY.-Thc Legislative
Assembly has been the scene of much tur-
hulence and recrlminaion during the pas;
week. The despotIc spirit which marks
the proceedings Of the Government is hav-
ing the effect to unite various sections Of
the Assembly, not heretofore friendly, into
compact opposition 10 the Barrot Minis
try, and in defence Of repubIicansm. To-
wards the close of the sitting on Wednes.
day evening, some astnnishmcnt was crc-
ated among the members by NJ. Granden
declaring that another movement was in
preparation. The statement, however
was vaguely given by the Hon. member,
and appeared TO have no foundation in fact,
so that IT soon ceased to produce any i'm
preston.
On TIE 3Oh ult. the Constituent Assem-
bly, of Rome finding that further resistance
to the French Arms, would be in vain,
ceased los'illties and virtually surrendered
the Eternal City to the hes,egers. Ga
the 18th ult., an official notification was
made 10 the French Legislative Assembly,
that in consequence oftho arrangement en-.
tered INTO between Gen. Oulinot and tie
Roman Triumvirate the gates Of ParolIo
Portica and Pancrazzia had been thrown
open TO the French troops, who were
| adopting measures for the immediate oc.
cupation of Rome, which would take place
with perfect quietness and order.
This communication produced deep
| sensation in the Chamber.

At the recent Dedication of Mount Olive
Cemetery, at Baltimore, the following beautiful
Hymn' composed for the occasion by J. II. B
LArRoBE' Esq, was sung by the choir:
from ON happy homes of joyous life;
from sorrows sad abode:
From scenes with wild excitement rife
FROM toIls o'erburthening load
Comes forth, with eager step, the tbronq
Beneath the greenwood tree,
With prayerful hearts, to breathe their song
Oh, Lord of Life, to thee
We come not here with trump or horn,
Or shout for victory won;
no banners, in the battle torn,
Here brave the evening sun;
But here, ere day to night shall Weld,
We mark the future grave
This spot for us is Ephron's field,
And this Macphelah's cave.
And while we thus, like HIM of old,
Whose seed the nations blessed
Prepare the place where throngs untold,
Shall find their mortal rest
May We, oh Father, Saviour, King.
Draw nearer still to Thee.
Whose grace alone can take the sting
From Deaths last victory.
