Music IN MAN-The universal disposition of human
beings from the cradle the deathbed to express their
feelings in measured cadences sound and action, proves
that our bodies are constructed musical principles and
that the harmonious working Of the machinery depends on
the movements of the several parts, being timed each
nther and that the destruction of health as regards both
body and mlnd may be well described being ou of tune
Our intellectual and moral vgor would be better sustained
if Eve practically studied the proprey keeping the

is connected with social enjoyment is also destructive
of individual comfort and that whatever tends to harmonze

THE LOVED AND LOST.

She sleeps that still and placid sleep,
For which the weary pant in vain,
And when the dews Of evening weep,
I may not weep again;
Oh never more upon her grave,
Shall behold the wild flower wave.
They laid her where the sun and moon
Look on her tomb with loving eye,
And have heard the breeze Of June
Sweep o'er it-like 4 sigh!
And the wild rivers wailing long,
Grew dirge- like as il stole along.
And have dreamed in many dreams,
ofher-who was dream to me-
And talked to her By summer streams
In crowds, and on the sea-
Till in ms love she grew enshrined'
A young Egeria Of the mind.
IT'S years ago and other eyes
Have flung their beauty DER my youth,
And have hung on other sighs,
And sounds that seemed like truth,
And loved the music which they gave,
Like that which perished in the grave.
And have lel the cold and dead,
To mingle with the living cold
There is weight around my head,
My heart is growing old
o! for refuge and a home,
With thee, dear Ellen, in thy tomb
Age sits upon my heart and brain'
NV spirit fades before its time,
But they are all thine own again,
Lost partner oftheir prime
And thou art dearer, in thy shroud,
Than all the false and living crowd,
Rise, gentle vision Of the hours
Which go-likc birds, that come not back -
And fling thy pail ard funeral flowers
On memOry's wasted track =
Oh for the wings that made thee blcst,
To flee away and be at rest.

EASY MODE OF DIvoRc E.-The marriage contract
is the most sacred known to our law. Those who
enter upon it do it deliberately. The severment o
that relation should not be permitted for trivial causes
at the option of either party. The extension Of the
causes Of late years has become too lax Parties in
teutonallv avail themselves of the statutes in order
to render themselves liable for bill. There are but
two States where adueres are the sole causes Of d.
vorce, South Carolina and New York. In North
Carolina divorces are permitted under no crcum-
stances.
During the early period of the Mosaic dspensation
all that necessary to secure separation was for
the husband to say that he made no further claim to
his wife, For five hundred years divorce un-
known in Rome, but subsequently it became common.
All that the husband had to say to his wife, in order
to secure an eecual dissolution of The marriage
lalion was, "Give me the keys out of The house'-
This secured legal separation.
France had taught Us fearful lesson upon this
subject. Within three months after the new law Of
divorce was adopted there were as many divorces as
marriages, aud in eighteen months twenty thousand
divorces were registered. Even in Connecticut, when
the law of divorce was relaxed, applications for di-
vorce multiplied rapidly.
De Tocoueville SAYS Of American women, that no.
where did the sex occupy more elevated position
than in the United States; and to nothing was to be
attributed more directly than to our women the en-
aled character aud stability of our Institutions And
Mr.. D. con,ended that this elevated character of A.
mercan women might, with truth be attributed to the
difficulty Of securing divorce, and To the strict ven

The CHEERFUL HEART.-It is not essential to a
happy home that there should be the luxury OF the
carpeted floor, the cushioned sofa, or the soft shade
of an astral lamp. These elegances gild the
