AFFLICTION.

The sweet perfume Of many plants re-
mains within them after they are bruised
The alabasler box Of precious ointment did
not fill the house with its pleasant SAVIOR till
1t was broken. So it is not prosperity, but
adversely, that brings out lovcliness of the
Christians character How much of the
Saviour's glcry would have been los, to this
world, bu, for his afllic,i,ns. How shrunk
and diminished would have appeared that
prince of Apostles, Paul, had he encounter
ed no perils or trials in his earthly career !:
What beauty and glory now gld the mar
tyrs, which had been unknown had they
not gone through much trbula,ion. "Pros-
perity is the blessing of the Old Testament"
says Lord Bacon-"Adversity is the bless
ing Of the New, which carrielh the greater
benedic,ion, and the clearer revelation of
Gods favor. Yet even in the Old Tesla
ment, if you listen to David's harp, YOU
will hear as many hearse-like airs as carols;
and the pencil of the Holy Ghost hath la
bored more in describing the af1liclion of
God than the felici,ies Of Soomon''

rows Of variously tinted flowers, and her
bonnet, as if disdaining closer companion
ship, sat Io(tIy on her head
"Now this is not exaggerated. Every
day, women may be seen just as ridiculous
y over-dressed. This absence of true taste
and real refinement Of deicacy, cannot be
compensated for by the possession of the
most prlncely fortune. Mind measures gold,
but gold cannot measure mind. Through
dress the mind may be read, as through the
dolIcate tissue the Iettered page. Amodest
woman will dress modestly; really refn-
ed and intellectual woman will bear the
mark of careful selection and lau,Iess taste
"ls it no, beautiful sight to meet, amids,
the throng of fashionable women-in ball,
not street attlre--a pretty rosebud of a young
girl, with the dawn of womanhood stealing
over her fair, open brow, modes,ly moving
along the pavement? Her dress is simple,
iunassumng, rich, perhaps, but unmarried by
folds, rufllcs, or buttons. No jewelry Of
tends the sight, in the glare of day. Her
eye, now dropping, now glancing ,imidly,
but lnnocen,ly, upon the passers-by, seems
the reflected beam of pure and happy
heart. Her demeanor is lady-Iike, her move
ments are full of grace, because so natural
and unstudied. Such one will be observ-
ed; not with the impudent stare of rude
ness, or the unflinching gaze of libertinism
hot the men tigers, who prowl a, corners,
dare offer her their meaningless smiles; bu.
every gentleman of refinement cannot but
pay the passing tribute of an admiring glance
upon one so isly representing wha! all wo-
men should be on public streets-unassum-
ing, modest, and elegantly, bu, neatly, at
tired.
''1he women of England understand bet
ter what is due to propriety in this respect.
They may, and do dress gorgeousIy in their
assemblies, in their private parties of FASH
lonable resort; but in the street, they are
marked by great plainness Of dress. Sober
and delicate colors, absence of chains aud
diamonds, the close-fsting hat, the neat
mantle, and the thick shoe, attest their tho
rough good sense in the matter. We wish
American ladies would copy them in this
thing, instead of aping the follies of the fri
volous Parisians.
"Will the time ever come, when a cult
waited intellect shall prepondera,e over dry
goods or eerrect and delicate percep-
ton of real comfort and beauty, over the

A HIGH FAMuLY.-In the old French war,
as i, is called, gentleman by the name of
Briant, was chaplin on board all armed ves-
sell In the same vessel was an Irish barber
of considerable wit and humor. The chap
lin was naturally face.ious, and loved good
turn, and would therefore often divert him
self in conversation with this barber One
day while under his hands, he asked him if
he knew the O'Briens in Ireland? The
barber replied that he did. "Weil," said
his reverence, "that was my family's name
originally; but after we left our couu-
try we began to be ashamed of the o. and
have now got our name to be Briam: But"
added he, s'wc need net be ashamed of the
family, for it was high family in Ireland"
".and indeed it acas," replied the shaver,
in the brogue Of his country, ''for | have
seen some of them SO high that their fees
could not touch the sround,o

REST OF THE SABBATH.-Whc,her we
look a, the Sabbath as day Of rest from the
common tolls of life, or as day halIowed
and consecra,ed to the worship Of God, we
are alike struck with the wisdom and mercy
Of God displayed in this institution. Man
and beast require relaxation, that the ener-
gies expended in the labor Of six days may
be renewed, and each prepared for the efforts
Of another week. No doubt remains but
that our physical nature can accomplish
more in the space of whole years toll,
by resting one-seven,h portion of our time,
Than if the whole seven days were employ
ed. And then it forms kind Of holiday
period to which the mind looks forward as
pause in the busy scenes life, and gives
relief even by anticipation. One constant
unending round would SO weary body and
mind, as to render toll intolerable, and make
the hours to laboring man gloomy and
burdensome.
But look a, the Sabbath as day of wor-
ship. The very idea of going to the house
of prayer with equipage neat and clean,
suitable to decent worship of the God of
order, promotes civilization and tends great
ly to promote the health and happiness Of
those who live in Christendom. And then,
the very fact that the mind is called off from
earthly pursuits and directed to those sub
ljects that are of holer character, has
tendency to elevate the thoughts and feel
ings of our nature. and cannot fai. to subli-
mate and refine society. With what cheer
fulness does the mind of the devoute wor-
shipper address itself TO its weekly task, a(-
ter the rest of the Sabbath and the devou!e
exercises of worship in Gods holy sane, y
ary Viewed in every light, goodness a
wisdom are displayed in the institution
the Sabbath, and he is both ungratelul
profane who disregards the law Of G5>
commanding him to rest and keep the >Sat
bath day holy.

ELECT MIS- CELLANY

From the American chronological Journal.
UNION FOR LIFE-ITS ANALYSIS, AND
WARNING TOUCHING IT'S ABUSE.
The pairing principle pervades universal
nature. This pairing always obtains be-
tween those of opposite sexes, never be-
tween those of the same sex. We find it
partially in the vegetable kingdom, and in
most species Of animals. As they entered
into N oah's ark two by two, male and (e-
self a single famale, and the two become
specifically attached to each other, at least
during the production and rearing Of their
young; and the fact is little remarkable.
that the higher we raise in the creative scale,
the more distinctly is this principle mani
tested. The duck, as he gIides over the
lake, both in its calmness and in its tempest
the deer as he roams through the vast
forest-the wild-goosc as i. flies from cline
to cline, and especially domestic birds Of
every description, each mate, either annual
ly or for life, and are true to this mate while
both are alive; and often even after the death
Of that male refuse to associate with anoth-
er-many beautiful illustrations of which
occur in Canary birds.
The philosophy Of this principle is per-
feclly obvious. 1t requires two parents to
bring up offspring. Every child requires
both maternal and palernal provision, educa-
tion, and especially moulding. A child
brought up either wihou. farlher's innu-
ence or bereft Of mothers care and mould
ing, is an unfortunate being, and can attain
far less order of perfection than if it had
both. That both parents are requisite TO
provide for their physical wants-a farther
to obtain the means, and a mother TO pre-
pare them in delail-such as clothes, food
etc.-is obvious. Every child equally re-
quires the moulding, the home-cduca,ion OF
both parents. The importance of,hls is too
obvious to need argument, and in this I'M
portance this pairing principle has It's phil
osophy. For if one father united with one
mother in the parentagc Of one child, with
another in that of another, and so on, ano
if this mother united with as many iarthers
as she had children, the perfect family bed
lam consequent thereon would utterly des'
try the happiness Of both parents and child
rem. Even second marriages, or having tive
sets Of children living i'll the same family

secrets she will not divul ge: especially is
she careful to conceal his infirmities. In
her husbands absence she is wife and depu-
ty husband, which makes her double the
files of her diligence. AT his return he finds
all things SO well, tha, he wonders to see
himself at home when he was abroad. The
heaviest work Of her servants she maketh
light, by orderly, and seasonably enjoin-
ing it. For her husbands sickness she feels
more grief than she shows.

SELECTED POETRY
THE CHILD'S PLAY HOUSE.


by ANN PRESTON.
Who has not been child, and made
A play house meath the trees?
And who 50 old but groweth young
When passing one of these
saw one in a cool, green nook,
And near cottage wall,
Built cunninsly, with many rooms,
And stored with play things small.
Prompt little hands had laid stone walls,
And swept the messy floors,
And sticks across the opening laid,
Were gravely called 'ihe doors.'
On snowy shelves, which oft would fall
Were treasures rare, ween-
The broken "chinas" glistencd there,
In blue, and red, and green.
The golden light of chidhood's morn.
While gazing, round me stole,
And fragrance, from its far, sweet shores,
Passed, breeze-lke, DER my soul.
Once more trod the green mosscd bank.
Where, meath the school house tree,
From tiny acorn cups we drank
And called it "taking tea"
We held our 'meeting'' DER again,
And was preacher there,
And with mock gravity we wore
Our serious Quaker air.
But she who put on matron airs,
And played the mother then,
The faircst one of all our school,
Now walketh not with men.
Thou, too, whose dark eye proudly bcamed,
The statliest of the band,
Mid sumnasx t"'ie irus gorlc away
"Unto the silent land"
The moses still their little cheeks
'Gainst sister MOSES lay,
While, of the three who leaned ON them,
But l, the weakest, stay.
o. earth would be one funeral pyre,
And life dream of pain,
If Beauty did not live for aye,
And God and Love remain.
