RIGHT REvENGE.-If thou must needs
have thy revenge Of thine enemy, with a
soft tongue break his bones, heap Goals Of
fire on his head, forgive him, and enjoy it.
To forgive our enemies is charming way
of revenge, and short Casarian conquest,
overcoming without blow, laying our enc
mics a, our feet under sorrow, shame and
repentance, leaving our foes our friends, and
sollcilously inclined to grateful retaIia'ions.
Thus to return upon our adversarIes is a
healing way Of revenge; and to do good for
evil, soft and melting u.ion. method
taught from heaven TO keep all smooth on
earth.

TIME AND LOVE.

TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH.
A hoary man, Old Time by name,
Who all his days roaming seept,
Beside a stream didst thus eXclaim
sob! pity me, by old age spent,
Will no one heed my mournful criess
Will not some hand the oar that plies,
Lend aid to one who's old alas,
And kindly now make dull Time pass:''
. Some maidens merry on the shore,
Took pity on his tears fast flowing,
And wished to ferry Old Time o'er
In light skff Young Love was rowing
But one of them, by far more wise,
Repeated oft amid hersighs,
''Ah! many maid been wrecked alas!
In seeking thus to make time pass
But Love unheeding plies his oar,
And pauses where the Old Man s standing,
He offers Time to bear him DER
And now they see the adverse landing.
With rapid stroke, Love bounds along,
Ever repeating in his song
''You see, you see, my prudish lass,
How swiftly Love can make Time pass.''
But sudden Love a-weary grows
This erer lcas his greatest fault
And in his stead, Old Time now rows,
Exclaiming: ''What! SO soon you halt
Poor child, how fast you fade away!
You slumber-while | sing the lay
rTbot wisdom, Ioroc to taooh.
Times ever sure to make Love pass.''

taking it for human voice, ran at the goats,

STUFF FOR SMlLEs.-Punch's Almanac,
for 1851, is said to abound in fun. Here's
a specimen of its conundrums:
Where are we most likely to find the
sky blue? The nearer we get to the milky
way.
Why is man who has just carried his
carPet-bag on shore from a steamboat, lik e
an owner Of the soil =? Because he is pos
sessed of ''landed property"
Why is comet more like dog than the
dog-star? Because the comet has go, tail
and the dog-s,ar hasn't
How can man. who has no wings, be
said to be "winged" in an '.af1air Of honor -
Because, in going to igh. duel, he max es
a goose of himself.
Why do the Patent Laws tend to pro-
mote discovery Because they tar inven-
ton.
When has scruple more weight than a
dram When conscience makes ,ee,o-
taller refuse tbimble-full of brandy"

A PoRTRAIT.-l met The queen Of snuff

very much that every beginner in that filthy

was the very embodiment, the very quintes-

She looked as if she hsd been snuffing SNUFF

and vein in her dried-up carcass was full to
repleion. Yes, every pore in her shrivel-
led skin was loaded, crammed, rammed, am

hold no more! Then, at The extreme point
Of her sharp pointed nose hung, trembling

SLANDER.-Let it be craven upon our
memory, that the person who repeats SLAM
der. even though he give the name of his
author, is no better, and far more mischie-
vous, than its originator. He endorses the
lie by his repetition of it, and as, without
his endorsement, it could never have gained
credit, he is responsible for the mischief by
the law Of God and man. We wonld take
spurious note far more readily from an
honest man than from known counterfeier.
and every additional hand it passes through
adds to the deception. Besides slander is
more accumulaive than SNOWFALL. Ii is
like salad, which every one will seas on
to his own taste, or the taste of those to
whom he offers it or like the kite of child,
to which additional exaggeraiions are attach
ed, each light in itself, but together forming
