OUT DOOR ETIQUETTE.

A gentleman meeting or passing lady
on the side walk should always pass on the
outside.
One gentleman meeting another should
always pass to the right.
A lady, as a general rule, should OF
take genlleman's arm in the street in the
day time. However, it is not improper
when the couple are strangers in the city,
or when the walk is thronged with stran-
gers.
A gentleman meeting or passing gen.
tleman and lady should pass on The gen.
teman's side. A lady should pass on the
lady's side.
A gentleman should never fail to salute
a lady of his acquaintance when within a
proper distance, unless she wear Il veil, il
which case it would be highly unclyil TO
recognise her.
Whom passing dwelling, as a general
rule, it is not polite to look into the win
dow, but when pretty woman is sitting
by it, for the ostensble purpose OF being
looked at, you may be considered unclvlI
and ungenerous, if you do not cast an ad-
miring glance.

The Ruling Passion Strong in Death.

1t is said by one of the Physicians who at
tended the celebrated scenic equestrian, James
Buckly, in his last hours, that his mind was
intently fixed upon the scenes of his past life.
The last words he uttered. the last sounds he
made, were to his horse; and his manner in-
dicated, that he fancIed himself again in the
ring, performing those wild, yet graceful feats
of horsmanshp, for which he was so renown-
ed. What impressions ones occupation makes
upon the immortal soul how tenaciously do
the habits cling to it! If the old warrior, in
his dying hour, fancies himself amid all the
astrife OF the battlefield, hears about him the
iciash and din of arms, and is rushing, with
enthusiastic heart to storm the deadly bat
'AFy-lf the laundering sound of the oceans
r breaks upon the ear of the dying sailor
L visions Of gold float before The filmy eyes of
ne dying miser-if to the equestrian, as he
leaves times shores, appears the mad, wild
excitement of the ring--if to all, in their last
moments, the past with vivid distinctness,
.4hes upon the brain, how careful should all
be to spend life so that memory would paint on
ly scenes of JOY upon the mind Vincennes

hell.
We all seem rather to inhabit ourselves,
than dwell anywhere else. The world
within is our home and constant abode
Our thoughts are our mansion, our food,
our wealth, our inheritance. Every thing
is viewed through the medium of thought.
Here the present world, the world to come,
ourselves, our foes, and even The Deity,
are reflected, surveyed and contemplated :
and hence, TO have peace within, is heaven.
When all is tranquil around, the mind may
be like the troubled sea and on the con-
trary, the last thunder may roar, the earth
quake, and the heavens dissolve and melt
with fervent heat, and yet the soul, far
from feeling the least alarm, may exuIt

ness till death has unlocked the portals Of
bliss. To walk by faith, and serve our
generation according to the will of God,
will enable US TO realize no small amount
of blessedness.

4 IL E B IND GIRL,

They say the world is beautiful,
More fair than thoughts of love;
And nightly comes an angel hand,
That writes in gold above;
But, ah, It's yiewless all to me
As the softly breathing wind
cannot see those beauteous scenes,
For | am blind-I'm blind.
l never saw the bird that sings
So sweetly to mine ear,
Nor snowy shroud that winter weaves
Around the dying year.
All nature is sealed book,
Whose clasp | cannot find;
Twas never meant for me to read,
For | am blind-I'm blind.
But, ah they tell me far away,
In bright eternity,
There is a land o'erspread with flowers,
Which every eye can see;
Where skies are ever soft and blue,
And silver streamlets wind;
Oh when | reach that holy shore,
/ shall no more be blind.

Behold the triumph hour,

When bonds are rent with awful power,
