UNCLE BENJAMIN'S SERMON.

Not many hours ago, heard Uncle Ben
jamin discussing this matter to his son, who
was complaining Of pressure.
''Rely upon ii, Sammy" said the old man
as he leaned on his staff, with his grey
locks flowing in the breeze Of May morn
ing "murmuring pays no bills. have
been an observer many times these fifty
years, and never saw man helped out OF
hole by cursing his horses. Be as quiet
as you can, for nothing will grow under a
harrow, and discomfort harrows the mind.
Matters are bad, acknowledge, bu, no ul-
Ger in any better for lingering. The more
you gr"an, the poorer you grow.
"Repining at losses is only putting pep
per into sore eye. Crops will fail in all
soils, and we may be thankful that we have
not famine. Besides always took notice
that whenever felt the rod pretty smartly,
it was as much as to say-"Here is some
Ting which you have got to learn" Sam
my don't you forget that your schooling is
not over vet, though you have wife and
two chidren.'
"Aye," replied Sammy, "you may say
that, and mother-in-law, and two appren-
lices into the bargain, and should like to
know what poor man can earn here, when
the greatest scholars and lawyers are at
loggerheads, and can't for their lives tell
wha. has become of the hard money"

was rescued, and then, in a momentary
calm of the tempest, Monsieur Poitevin gave
the signal to cut loose.
From the moment of being lifted from the
ground, the pony ceased all motion, and his
legs hung as if struck with paral lysis. The
emotion Of the spectators was intense. All
were brea,hlessly in.en. on the fearful spec
.acle, and one lady tainted with affright.-
The loosened balloon: plungine toward the
north east, remained some time in view
Minseur Poitevin, as he rose, moved his
hand and his riding whip, and seemed as
calm as any cavalier upon the road, answer
ing, as long as he could distinguish them,
the shouts of encouragement which sue
ceeded the silent wonder of his first depar-
ture. Before getting out Of sight, he was
observed TO leave the saddle and mount by
his rope-ladder to throw out ballast from
above, and then, 1e-desccnding, he again
took his sea, TRANQUILITY IN the saddle.
At quarter to eight, the daring eronaus
was near to the earth once more, but, though
sweeping, for league, over the tops of trees
and crops, i! was impossible to alight.-
During this dragging over the fields, the
pony nlOoieu al 'ne branches anu a. Ihe ups
Of the grain, and seemed to have q greedy
appetite, though at the highest point of as
cension, the blood had gushed from his
mouth and nos,rils. Finally, in dry
marsh, near the woods of Sechelle, M. Poi
tevin seized hold Of branch Of q chesnut
tree and arrested the motion. As soon as
the pony's feet were upon the ground, he
used the most violent efforts to stop the
drag Of the balloon still struggling with the
wind, and succeeded in holding it, till made
made fast by persons who had rushed to
the spot.
NJ. Poi,evin rode to Paris upon his pony,
and restored the animal safe and sound to
his stable.

THE LOVERS OF WIRE.
A BEAUTIFUL STORY.

The sun was shining as fair as the sun
could shine, on lovely May morning
bright, yet gentle; warm but fresh (mid-
way between the watering pot of April and
the warming-pan Of June upon the beau
tiful valley Of Wire. Stretched at the foot
of long steep hill, crowned by a pretty
airy looking town, whose buildings, lin some
par,galhered on the very pinnacle, in Others,
running far down the slope, as if codue,ng
with the rich valleys that WOO them from
below, lay this valley tina, Natures proluse
hand ever gifted with beauty; the soff clear
stream Of the Wire winding sweetly along
between the green sloping hills, and rich
woods and fields, and cha,eaux, and ham
let's and the birds singing their songs Of
love, as its calm waters, silvered by the sun
shine, roll beautifully by them. Could you
but look upon ii, you would not find il DIFF
6cult to imagine, how the soul even Of an
obscure aItizan in a remote age, warmed in
TO poetry and music. in the bosom of that
valley, and by the side Of that stream.
II was there in the beautiful Vale of Wire,
come twenty years ago, that Francois Lor-
mier went out TO take his last May walk
with Msriette Duval, ere the relentless con
scriplion called him from his happy home,
his sweet valleys and his early love it was
a sad walk, as may be immagned Tor tho
the morning was light, and nature to her
shame be it spoken, had put on her gayes.
smiles, as if TO mock their sorrow, yet the
sunshine Of the scene could not find its
way to their hearts, and all seemed darken-
ed and clouded around them. They talk

but far be it from me to betray their private
regrets, al this their tender leave-taking.

Nariette should remain with him forever
should inspire him in battle, and cheer him
in the bivouc and tina. Marieue protested
she would never marry any body excep.

money, when my grandfather used TO stuff
sulky-box with bills to pay for yearllng
or q wheat fan, and when the Jersey wo-
men used thorns for pins, and laid their tea
pots away in a garre,. You wish to know
what you can learn? You may learn these
seven things.
"First: that you have saved too little,
and spent too much. ! never taught you
to be miser, but have seen you giving
your dollar for a ''notion," when you might
have laid one half aside for charity and one
half aside for rainy day.
"Secondly: .hs, you have gone too much
upon credit. always told you credit was
a shadow there is substance behind.
which casts the shadow, and no wise man
will follow the shadow, any farther than
he can see lhe substance. You may learn
that you have folio wed and been decoyed
int" bog
"ThirdIy: that you have gone in too
much haste TO become rich. Slow and easy
wins the race.
"Four,hly: tha. no course Of life can be
depended upon as always prosperous. am
afraid the younger race of working men in
America have notion that no body would
90 to ruin on this side Of the water. Pro-
vidence has greatly blessed us, and we have
become presumptuous.
"FihhIy: ,ha. you have not been thank
ful enough to God for his benefits in past
times.
''Six'hly: that you may be thankful our
lot is not worse. We might have famine
pestilence, or war, or tyranny, or all to-
geIher.
Sand lastly, TO the end of my sermon, you
may learn to offer with more understand
ing, the prayer Of your infancy: Give US
this day our daily breadn"
The old man ceased, and Sammy put on
his apron, and told Dick to blow away at
the forge bellows.

Love! there is no earthly sorrow,
That can daunt my spirit now,
Not cloud to rest in shadow,
On my heart, or on my brow.
Thou art mine, and earth looks joyous;
Thou art mine, and Heaven looks bright,
Thy love. the star that rose in splendor
On the darkness of my night
Meath its rays, so soft and tender,
Dropping hopes, like flowers, expand,
And my soul seems girt with music,
Echoing from enchanted land
Scarcely can the angels hymning
Praise, where bliss and glory meet,
In their 'rapt devotion murmur
Strains more solemn, and more sweet.
Sol emn! for it comes prelude,
ToA the harsh, stern notes Of strife,
That u ge echoing, wild and fearful,
Osr the battle-pain of life
Sweet! bed cause il whispers gently,
Like a voisIe whose silver tone,
Falls as fall Il pc shaded fountains,
In the wild-wa pod, dim and lone.
Dost thou ask meA if love thee'
Aye! with that nseost earnest love,
Which on earth woulSA guard thee safely,
And breathe o'er thy aeoul above.
Do love thee? deem NOD dearest,
That my heart is cold or \stern,
If the lips refuse to utter,
ALL that would have theeN learn.
Deepest love is seldom spoken,
Language would the spell unbindA
That with heart, and brain, and spirit
Is eternally entwined."
When thine eyes turn on me fondly,
With bright, deep, liquid beam
Words would only break the rapture, 2
That enchains meas dream.
With this cherished being by me, I
Welcome strife, and welcome pain /
We will stem the storms in triumph,
That swept DER life's solemn main
And when our bark hath reach'd her mornings
By the far-off, fadeless shore
Well walk its radiant ways together,
Forevermore-Foreverm
