[Reveries of o Bachelor.

LFE.-Life without some necessity for exer-
tion must ever lack real interest. That state if
capable of the greatest enjoyment where neces-
sity urges, but not painfully; where efforts is
required, but as much as possible without anxi-
ETY. where the spring and summer of life are pre-
paratory to the harvest, of autumn and the re-
pose of winter. Then is every season sweet,and
well spent life the last the best-the season Of
calm enjoyment, the recollections, the brightest
in hope. Good training and fair start consti-
tute a more desirable patrimony than wealth;
and those parents who study their children's
welfare more than the qualification of their own
avarce or vanity, would do we'll to think of this.
Is it better to run successful race, or begin
and end at the goal!

LAST PRAYER OF QUEEN MARY.

Translated for the Times, by c. c. ToRREY.
o Domino Deus speravi in te,
o care mi Jesu, nunc liberia me,
In dura catena in misera poena
DisiderO te
Languendo; gemendo, ct genu fectendo,
Adore, Imploro, ut liberes me.
Oh Lord my Creator, my hope is in thee,
Oh Jesus dear Savior, deliver thou me,
In fetters most CALLING, in troubles appalling,
cry unto thee
Languishing ,groaning, my misdeeds bemoaning
Adoring, imploring, have mercy on me-
LOVE ALL.
BY c. d. STUART.
Love all There is no living thing
Which God has not created;
Love all There is no living thing
Which God has ever hated:
His love sustains the meanest life,
Whate'er doth live or perish
And man may not disdain to love
What God has loved to cherish.
Love all For hate begetteth hate,
And love through love increaseth;
Love all For hate shall faint and fail,
While love, like God, ne'er ceaseth
Love is the law, the life supreme,
The goal whereiall sre tending
The hate shall die, the strife shall cease
But Love is never ending.

Let married men read the following and profit
by it," For about two years after was mar
ried," says Goblet, in his advice to husband,
81 retained some of my military manners, and
used to romp most famously with the girls that
came in my way; till one day, at Philadelphia,
my wife said to me in very gentle manner,
Don't do that, 1 do not like It, That was quite
enough; had never thought on the subject
before; one hair of her head was more dear to
me than all the other women in the world, and
this knew she knew; but now saw that this
was not all that she had right to from me;
saw that she had the further claim upon me that
should abstain from everything that might in
duce others to believe that there was any other
woman for whom, even if were at liberty, | had
any affection"

FAITH, WHAT IS Ir!-Many a volume has
been written TO unfold the nature of religious
faith, but we doubt if clearer, better definition
of it was ever given than this by H. Coleridge !:
Think not the faith by which the just shall live
Is dead creed-a map correct of'heaven,
Far less Affecting fond and fugitive,
tho'tless gift withdrawn as soon as given,
1t is an affirmation and an act
That bids eternal truth be present fact.

The third ancient wonder was the Pyramids
of Egypt, three of which stand between the city
Of Memphis (now Caro) and Delta. 1t is rea-
ted by Pliny, and others, that the building of
the largest employed continually 3640OO men
for 20 years that 1900 talents, or about l,OSO,-
900 crowns were paid for garlic, onions and
roots, to sustain the multitude. The foundation
stones of the principal pyramid, we are inform
ed by Pomponius Mia, were of marble, and 80
feet in size On the outside of this pyramid
there is an ascent by steps, which at the bottom
are four feet in height, and three broad, but the
higher they go, they gradually diminish being
so contrived that straight line, stretched from
any part of the basis to the top, would touch
the edge of every step. The breadth and depth
of every step is one entire stone, several of them
so feet in length and the number of steps is 2O7
The inside of the pyramids have been but little
explored, and indeed, their once magnificent
chambers, wherever opened, so soon fill with
bats and reptiles, that it is unpleasant to remain
within them but n short time. Sufficient can be
seen, however, to fill the traveller with vast
idea OF grandeur, he can never experience else
where. The largest pyramid covered % acres,
and is supposed to have belonged to Cheops,
king of Egypt, the interior being lined with the
richest marble or porphyry, and one of the cham
bers containing a huge hollow marble tomb
which when hammered upon sounds like bell,
and is so constructed that the most skilful art
lists and mechanics have hitherto failed to discov-
er any lid or opening to it. An echo started in
the passages, is noted by travellers to have an
extraordinary effect; it being carried along the
distant passages to the centre Of the pyramid,

SALE OF THE YATcH AMERICA-After the
celebrated triumph of our New York Yacht
over all those in Old Albion, Commodore Ste-
vens has sold her for $4,000 to Captain De
Blaquier of the Indian Army; she will be used
as model Yacht, and this shows much wisdom
in uncle John, but although she carries the
broom in old England she was beat here before
she went away so in few years we will send
over another to beat them all as far as the Am
erica beat the Titania, or else they will so i'm
prove as to beat us. Yatcht building has been
confined to few yards in England, and when
this is the case in any place, the road to i'm
provement is sure to be hedged up. 1t is to the
credit of the English however, that whenever
nautical Improvement is made manifest, they
adopt and pay well for it. Scien. Am.

WOMAN WITHOUT RELIGIoN.-A man with
out religion is at best poor reprobate the foot
ball of destiny with no tie linking him to infn-
ity, and to the wondrous eternity that is began
with him; but woman without it is even worse
"a fame without heat, q rainbow without col
or, q flower without perfumes. A man may, in
some sort, tie his frail hopes and honors, with
weak shifting ground-tackle, to business or to
the world but woman without that anchor
which they call Faith, is drift and wreck -
A man may clumsily continue kind of moral
responsibility out of his relations to mankind;
but woman, in her comparatively isolated
sphere, where affection, and not purpose, is the
controlling motive, can find no basis for any sys-
tenn of right action, but that of spiritual faith
A man may craze his thought and his brain to
trustfulness in such poor harborage as Fame
and Reputation may stretch before him; but q
woman-where can she put her hope in storms,
if not in Heaven! And that sweet trustfulness
that abiding love, that enduring hope, melowing
every page and scene of oflife-lighting them with
the pleasantest radiance, when the worlds
storms break like an army with smoking can
non-what can bestow it all, but holy soul-tie
to what is stronger than an army with cannon?
Who that has enjoyed the love of Christian
mother, but will echo the thought with energy,
and hallow it with fear!
