LOVE-
To Asss*s-BY "NOyUS."

Oh, II Is sweet-surpassing sweet
That gushing, gueless passion-Love!
Whether in halls where proud ones meet,
Or hearts warm p n ing in the grove.
The light that paints the radiant eye,
The fame that flashes through the cheek,
W here sigh finds no responsive sigh,
Nor shrlnes, with breasts dismembered reek-
Hath purer streams than they can know,
Who strangers TO its JOY have been,
And deeper thrills than eer can flow,
From every other fount within.
No voice beneath the clouds of earth,
Can comfort 10 the lone heart give.
Like that untainted breath whose birth,
Bids young Affection rise and live.
The frame convulsel-,he soul on fire
The breast upheaving like the surge
The breasts warm paans mounting higher,
That fling DER Care a floating dirge-
Tell on the b0som's many strings,
4 welcome tale of Passions power;
And trembling Nature meekly brings
Her widest throbs 10 Loves green bower.
Far in the desert Thought may rove,
In search of some oasis bright,
Where ravished senses feast on Love,
And dwell in more than human light
lie, me but know thy heart will greet
The love thy beaming eye hath moved
For oh. lis sweet-surpassins sweet
To love, and be thyself beloved!

The three great essentials to religious
usefulness, are pureness of life. constant
activity. and firm reliance in God. Very
erroneous estimates are made of the comp
araiive usefulness Of different individuals.
One judges that he whose lips are eloquent,
and whose feet are swift whose hand
seems to have species of religious ubiqui-
ty, is accomplishing vast good. Perhaps
he is: perhaps he is doing more evil than
good. There may be snuosities Of life,
which destroy respect for his character;
seli-seklng may be so glaring tha, none can
love him. or he may be one who knows
not prayful trust in God. A defect in
either of these respects is radical. Too
much may De attributed to the usefulness
oil one whose character is principally neg
alive. He has no marked and prominent
faults, he does nothing osien,a,iously nor
obtrusively, and men generally speak we'll
OF him. If we were TO inquire why they
praise him, perhaps The most they could
say would be, ale is an inoffensive and
harmless man."
We may err in judging of the usefulness
Of men by the position which they occupy.

the multitude think that man excelling

may be so, and il may be Tar otherwise.
The prominence of his position gives en-
phasis to all his acts and If men see almost
as many foibles as virtues, and as much
that is indscreet as that is wise and true,
they may not after all, be much the better
for his influence. 1t may be ,ha, another

Red Coat VS.. Red Shirt.

Not long since, at a convisial party al
which Mr.. Webster and several distin.
guished lawyers were present, the convcr.
sation happening TO turn on the legal pro-
fession, Mr.. Webster related the following
story. We do not pretend TO give ii in his
own peculiar and delightful style:
When was a young practitioner,
said Mr.. Webster. 'rhere was but one man
a, the New Hampshire bar Of whom was
afraid, and that was old Barnaby. There
were but few men Who dared 10 enter the
Isis with him. Ga one occasion, Barnady
was employed TO defend the suit for a
piece Of lana, brought by little, Grabbed
cunning lawyer, called Bruce. Bruce's
case was looked upon as good as lost when
II was asceriained that Barnaby was re-
lained agains, him. The suit came on
for trial, and Barnaby found that Bruce
had worked hard, and lef, no stone un-
turned 10 gain the victory. The .esiimo
nv for The plaintiff was very strong. and,
unless it could be impeached, The case OF
the defendant was lost.
The principal witness introduced by
plaintiff, wore d red coat. Ia summing
IN for the defence, Old Barnaby com
mcnced a furious attack on this witness,
pulling his testimony all 10 pieces. and ap-
7ealing to the jury # a man who wore
red coat was, under any circumstances, TO
te believed. "And who is this red coated
witness" exclaimed Rarnaby, " but de-
scendlnt of our common enemy. who has
striyen 10 take from Us our Liberty, and
would no, hesitate now 10 deprive my poor
client of his land, by making any sort OF a
rci-,oa'ed statement -
During this speech, Bruce was walk
ing up and down the bar, greatly excited,
and half convinced that his case was gone,
knowing as he did, the prcjudices Of the
Jury against any thing British. Whilst,
however, Barnaby was gesiiculalins. and
leaning forward to the jury in his eloquent
appeal, his shr, bosom opened slightly, ,and
Bruce accidentally discovered that Barnaby
wore red under shirt.
" Hruce's coun,enance frightened up.
Putting both hands in his coat pockets, he
walked to The bar with great confidence,
10 The establishment of his client and all
lockers on. Just as Barnaby concluded,
Bruce whispered in the ear Of his client,
Pve got him-your case is safe and
approaching the jury, he commenced his
reply TO the slaughlering argument Of his
adversary.
Bruce gave regular history Of the
ancestry of his red coated witness, proving
his patriotism and devotion to the country,
and his ,haracter for truth and veracity.
"Bl, what, gentlemen Of the jury broke
forth Bruce in loud strain OF eloquence.
while his eye flashed fire, what are you

fend cause based on foundation of righ,
or justice whatever! Of man who under

ground that my witness wears a red coat,
