Music

MUSIC.
Give me music, soft sweet music,
For its cadence is to me
AS dewdrops TO the dropping flower,
Or blossoms to the bee.
1t soothes my fevered, burning brain,
1t Gains my troubled heart,
And bids in tones of melody,
My anxious cares depart.
Give me music, low, faint music,
And as its echoes roll,
In tones of thrilling tie nderness,
Across my raptured soul,
I'LL dream again as once dreamed
of happiness and love,
When Hope, in wreaths of budding joys
My life's bright texture wove.
Give me music, sad, slow music,
And, while its sweet tones swell
And fall upon the ears like words
Of low, heart breathed farewell,
My thoughts on Fancy's wing shall to
The dreamy past return,
And muse amongst the relics there,
Sin Memory's sacred urn"
Give me music, mournful music,
And my soul in fervent prayer
Shall rise upon the dying note
That vibrates on the air.
I'll pray for those whom well Hove,
That their lives may pass away
AS calmly and gently as
The tones of that sweet lay.
Give me music, joyful music,
Let me feast upon the sound,
Till my spirit bursts the earthly chain
BY which it now is bound,
And scars on that triumphant chain
BY whichit now is bound,
And scars on that triumphant strain
Up to its native skies,
To join with angels in the song,
Whose echo never dies.

The way to do it.

Boy, if you want to become dissolute
and deprayed, if you desire to be young
+ in years and old in crime: if you want
to BECOME odious in the eyes of all res
pectable men, keep the company OF tip
piers and hang around the rum shops.
Youth, if you would be Stunned by
the virtuous and the good; if you would
be sighted by the fair and abhorred by
the pure; if you would be marked by
the finger of scorn and written down as
one doomed to infamy, patronize the
gay gin palace and keep the company of
the fends who dwell therein,
Man, would you provoke the enmi:y
of your kind, destroy your influence,
annihilate your credit, ruin your bust
ness, disgrace your kindred, beggar your
family then tarry at the wine cup, and
frequent the rum shop.
Woman, would you sink to depth of
degradation, whence scarcely the illimi-
table reach of the Omnlpoient arm can
pluck you: would you obliterate all that
makes you lovely, all that assimiIaies
you TO the angels; would you become
an object to make the flesh creep and
the hair brislle with horror! drink alco-
hoi.
Mortal! would you pervert your noble
nature, foil your sublime destiny, a5ase
your curious and wonderful body, ruin
your divine mind, degrade your race,
abuse and defy your God! drink alco-
hol.
These directions are infallible; they
are copied from the Pharmacopoeia Of
hell, where Brandyopathy is the promi-
nent school Of practice, and doses OF al
cohol the only prescription that serves
TO glut the great revenge of death, and
surfeii the boundless appetite of the
grave.

The Faculties, for intellectual abilities,

constitutes an anomaly in this or any other

situation for an enterprise of the kind. AS

DENY that any other city has more.
A common error exists in the minds ofmany
students relative to the place Of studying med

A most important discovery has
been made in gold refining BY Rich
ard S. McCulloh, now Professor of
Natural Philosophy in Princeton Col
lege, and late the U. S. Melter and
Rsfner at the Philadelphia Mint. In
a communication OF which we have
received a copy, be states he has dis
covered a new, quick and economi-
cal method, of refining argentiferous
and other gold bullion, whereby the
work may be done in one half the
present time. and large saving ef-
fected in interest upon the amount
which is currently refined, and with
drawn for that purpose from the use
of the deposition, or from the treasury
by advances for his accommodation,
The writer adds:
SIN labor and materials this new
method would also save about one
half Of the cost required by the pro-
cess now used in the mint Of the
United States, so that the charge to
depositors for refining, which now is
as by law directed, fixed at the actual
cost thereof, NAV be considerably re-
duced. The apparatus required is
less costly and more compact than
that used in either Of the methods
now employed. The advantages in
respect to space are such that proba-
bly five times as much work as a;
present may he done. in the same
building. In the mint at Philadel-
phia $IO.OOO,OOO per month may
be refined, and the sum Of 81 900
would, | believe, cover the cost Of The
alterations and apparatus required.
The value of such a discovery is
hardly TO be calculated. 1t must
save immensely the expense Of re
fning. Professor McC. has properly
taken patent out for the discovery,
but offers to dispose Of it TO the Uni
ted States government on favorable
terms, which Congress Of course will
accept.

Fidelity.

Never forsake a friend. When
enemies gather around-when sick
ness falls on the heart-when the
world is dark and cheerless--is the
time 10 try true friendship. The
heart that has been touched with true
gold will redouble its efforts, when
the friend is sad and in trouble
Adversely tries real friendship
They who turn from the scene Of
distress betray their hypocrisy, and
prove that interest only moves them.
IL you have a friend who loves you
who has studied your interests and
happiness-be sure to sustain him in
adversely. Let him feel that his for
mer kindness is appreciated--and
that his love was not thrown away.
Real fidelity may be rare, but it ex-
lists in the heart. Who has not seen
and felt its powerl They only deny
its worth and power who have never
either loved a friend or labored to
make him happy. The good and the
kind-the afectionate and the virtU-
Gus, see and feel the heavenly prin-
ciple. They would sacrifice wealth
and happiness 10 promote the hap
piness Of others, and in return they
receive the reward of their love by
sympathising hearts and countless ia
vors, when they have been brought
low BY distressand adversely.
