THE SOULS PASSING.

eThe Souls Passing" is the title Of touching
poem in a late London Athen@um. A husband is
ieoking upen the scarce cold form Of his dead wiie
Take her faded hand in thine
Hand that no more answereth kindiys
See the eyes were wont to shine,
Uttering love, now staring blindly;
Tender-hearted, speech departed
Speech that echoed SO divnely.
Runs no more the circling river,
Warming, frightening every part;
There it slumbereth cold forever
No more merry leap and start,
No more flushing cheeks to blushing-
In its silent home, the heart!
Hope not answer to your praying!
Cold, responseless, lies she there,
Death that ever will be staying
Something gentle, something fair,
Came with numbers soft as slumbers--
She is with HIN otherwhere.

ENORMOUS CosT OF DIAMONDS
large diamond said to have been discov-
cred by common sailor in California,
reminds us of the other large diamonds
of the world and their value. The India
Company's diamond, weighing 89a carats,
was valued at $3,133,OOO. That of the
Rajah of Borneo, where it was found two
centuries ago, weighed 367 carats, for
which the Governor of Batavia offered
the sum of $4,000 besides two large brigs
of war, with their guns and ammunition.
This sum was refused. That belonging
to the Queen of Portugal, weighing II
ounces, and valued at $4OO the carat, is
worth, if it is diamond, $1,2O0,000,0 900,
and is the largest known. The Pitt dia-
mond, brought from India by George Pitt,
was sold to the Duke of Orleans for $780,
600. That in the sceptre of the Emperor
of Russia, was said to have once been the
eve of an eastern idol, and to have been
stolen by French grenadier, who turned
heather priest to obtain its possession.
1t was bought for $3.50, 900, and an al
nuity of $4,000 granted during life to the
persons who sold it. That belonging to
the great Mogul is valued at $3,50O,000.
That of the King of Portugal S1S4,000.
The total value of the crown jewels of
France, is $3,414,847. And, after all,
single bushel of wheat, corn or potatoes
would be of more value to the starving
of the human race than all these ideal
riches.-Phala. Sat. GaS.

Go TO FUNERALs.-A superannuated
servant, who had resided for some years
as a boarder at the Asylum of Loches,
died there a week or two since. Being
a Catholic, she had requested that her
remains should be carried to the cemetery
of the chapel of Chauffat. According to
custom, the Catholics of the locality were
invited to accompany the defunct on her
last Journey. The weather, on the day
of burial, chanced to be very unpleasant,
and only six accepted the polite invitation
two of these, turning back, when half
way there, discouraged with the mud and
the prospective inducements. The four
persevering mourners saw the body laid
in earth, and then went to the sacrlsty,
at the invitation of the curate, to hear the
reading of the will of the deceased
What was their surprise to discover that
the will bequeated twenty thousand dol
lars to be divided among those who should
follow her to the grave! The will was
in good form, and the money safely IN
vested in tie Savings Bank Of France.

REVENGE forgive them. -
Go, proud infidel, search the ponderous

Reviled and Misunderstanding the gros-

Acuuaintances, have you quarreled!-
Friends, have you differed? If he who
was pure and perfect forgave his bitterest
enemies, do you we'll to cherish your anger?
Brothers, to you the precept is imperative!
You shall forgive, not seven times, but
seventy times seven. Revenge is an in
compatible with happiness as it is hostile
to reason and religion. Let him whose
heart is black with malice and studious
of revenge, walk through the fields while
clad in verdure and adorned with flowers;
to his eye there is no beauty, the flowers
to him exhale no fragrance. Dark as his
soul, nature is robed in deepest sable.
The smiles of beauty light not up his
bosom with joy-but the furies of hell
rage in his breast, and render him as
miserable as he could wish the object of
his hate But let him lay his hand on
his heart and say, Revenge, l cast thee
from me; Father, forgive me, as l forgive
my enemies" and nature will assume
new and delightful character. Then,
indeed, are the meads verdant and the
flowers fragrant-then is the music of the
grove delightful to the ear, and the smile
of virtuous beauty lovely to the soul.

BL1NDERs FOR HoRsE.-How are
binders injurious to the horse? Because
they gather dirt and heat around the eye.
Dirt irritates the eye, and heat produces
inflammation. These blinders so en-
trammel the eyes of the horse that he is
compelled to be constantly straining them
to see his way. The over-exertion of the
nerve brings on disease. Eyes were not
made in vain. Had they been needless
the Creator would not have located them
in the head. They were placed at the
corner of the head that he might have the
advantage OF looking in different direc-
tions. Men, in the abundance of their
wisdom, concluded that the horse had too
much sight, and they wished to curtail it;
hence the origin of blind brides and dis
eased eyes are inseparably connected.
Custom hoodwinks the sense of men as
much as blind brides do the vision of
horses.
