Notwithstanding the great storm in the

said that the supply of coal for the year 1850

A romantic story is told in an English pa
per ot lovers stratagem. A gentlemen
lost his heart TO a deaf aud dumb instructess.
The lover passed himself oil as in the same
condition. entered the school where the
young lady presided, and learned from her
at the same time the art of communicating
his IDEAS by the tokens in which even Ovid,
with all his gunius and learning, can be out
done even by simple milk-maid. In six
months the romantic swain led the young
lady TO the altar: but when the paper was
handed him TO sign, containing the question,
DO you take this woman to be your true

bridegroom, aud the astonished priest drop

In Rev. Henry w. Beeclurs Lectures {,
Young Men, just published, is the following
description Of the Cynic. 1t will be rccog
nized as true picture, and may be taken as
glowing style.
The Cynic is one who never sees a good
quality in man, and never fails to see bad
one. lie is the human owl, vi.ianl in Gnrk-
ness and blind 10 light, mousiag for vernIin.
and never sees noble game. The Cynic puts
all human actions into only two classcs-op-
enly bad, and secretly bad. All virtue and
generosity aad disnierestedness are merely
the appearance of good, but selfish at the
bottom. lie holds ;hat no man does good
thing except for profit. The effect of hi<
conversation upon your feelings is to chill
and scar them; TO send you away sour aud
morose. His criticisms and inuendoes fall
indiscriminarely upon every lovely thing,
like frost upon flowers. II a man is said 10
be pure and chaste, he will answer, yes in
the day time. III woman is pronounced vir.
tuous, he will reply, yes, as yer. Mr. A. is
a religious man, yes, on Sundays. sMr. B.
hasjoined the church; certainly, the elections
arc coming OH. The minister Of the gospel
is called an example of diligence, it is bis
trade. Such man is generous, of other
mems money. This man is obliging, TO lul
suspicion and cheat you. That man is up
right, because he is green. Thus his eye
strains out every gcod quality, and takes ia
only the bad. To him religion is hypocrisy
honesty preparation for fraud, virtue only
want of opportunity. and unieniable purity
asceticism. The livelons day he will coolly
sit with sneeriny lip, uttering sharp speeches
in the quietest manner, and in polished phase
transfixng every character which is present.

STANZAS.

When in the rosy, golden west
The lingering sunlight slowly fades,
And stealing through the saddened air,
Come evenings cold and gloomy shades,
A tender sadness fills the soul,
a feeling close allied to pain.
Though well We know the rising dawn
VIII give those glorious beams again.
The sailor on the stormy wave,
When tempests howl and death is nigh,
Steers his lone bark by one bright star
That wrinkles in the midnight sky
How sinks his heart in deep despair,
When clouds by stormy t-mpests driven
Obscure his only beacon light.
And blot it from the face Of heaven
This fatal eve the only sun
That ever chccred my sombrc skies,
Will leave them gloomier than before
They caught the radiance of its risc,-
The only star whose gentle ray
Had power TO guide my footsteps right,
This eve departing from my skies,
Shall leave me no eternal light
