The CHARMS OF LIFE.-There are
a thousand things in this world to afflicl
and sadden-but oh, how many that are
beautiful and good. The world teens
with beauty-with objects which gladden.
the eye and warm the heart. We might
be happy if we would. There are ills
which we cannot escape--the approach
of disease and death, of misfortune,
sundering of earthly ties, and the can
ker-worm Of grief. but vest majority
of the evils which beset us might be
avoided. The curse of intemperance.
interviewer as it is with the ligaments OF
society, is one which never strikes but
to destroy. There is not one bright
page upon the record of its progress
nothing to shield it from the heartiest
execrations of the human race. II
should not exist-lt must not. Do away
with all this-let wars come 10 an end,
and LET friendship. charity. love, purity,
and kindness make the intercourse be
tween man and man. We are too sell
fish, as if the world was made for us
alone. How much happier would we
be were we to labor more earnestly to
promote each others good. God has
blessed us with a home which is not al
all dark. There is sunshine every
wherein the sky, upon the earth
there would be in most hearts, if we
would look around US. The storms
die away, and the bright sun shines out.
Summer drops her tinted curtain upon
the earth, which is very beautiful, even
when autumn breathes her changing
breath upon it. God reigns in heaven
Murmur not at being so bountiful. and
,,,ho can live HAMMER than we.

70 AN ABSENT WIFE.

vile Journal:
TO AN ABSENT WIFE.
7Tis morn-the sea breeze seems TO bring
JOY, health and freshness on its wing
Bright flowers. TO me all strange and new,
Are glittering in the ga ly dew
And perfumes rise from every grove,
As incense to the clouds that move
Like spirits DER yon welkin clear
But am sad-thou art not here.
7Tis noon-a calm, unbroken sleep
Is on the blue waves Of the deep
A soft haze, like a fairy dream,
is floating over wood and stream;
And many broad magnolia flower,
Within its shadowy wood and bower,
Is cleaning like lovely star
But am sad--thou art afar.
is eve-on earth the sunset skies
Are painting their own Eden dyes
The stars come down and trembling glow
Like blossoms in the waves below;
And, like some unseen sprite, the breeze
Seems lingering mid the orange trees,
Breathing its music round the spot
But / am sad--I see thee not.
'Tis midnight--with soothing spell,
The far tones Of the ocean swell.
Soil as mothers cadence mild,
Low bending DER her sleeping child
And on each wandering breeze are heard
The rich notes of the moeking bird,
In many a wild and wond'rous lay--
But am sad---thou art away.
I sink in dreams---iow, sweet and clear,
Thy own dear voice is in my ear
Around my neck thy tresses twIne---
Thy own loved hand is clasped in mine
Thy own soft lip TO mine is pressed--
Thy head is pillowed on my breast---
OH have all my heart holds dear
And am happY---thou art here.

WELL SAD.-The Providence H.
Journal remarks:
There are many thousands of people
amidst the magnifcence and splendor OF
the British capital to whom the labor Of
a sugar plantation would be ease, and
the fare of the negroes in the slave
States, luxury that they never dreamed
of, The number apd condition OF the
poor in England should leave English
men no sympathies to waste upon dis
tresses beyond the range of their owl
vision.

Tennessee Wing, who does not undertake to
exercise any control as to whether his subor-

A few months since, Mr.. Postmaster General
Hall spread himself to do tremendous Wing
act. He turned out Mr. Downer a good Wing
mechanic and a faithful man, as Superintendent
Of the Post Office Building, and gave the APP
pointment to Mr.. King, Democratic editor
from Maine, who had long been a clerk in the
department at salary of 81, 400 per annum-
thus promoting Mr.. King, and increasing his
salary to $1,650. an
MIR. King had applied to Congress to have
the salary of the Office he held increased. Con-
gress replied, "No; it must not be DONE" Mr.
Postmaster General Hall, in his little brief au-

gress, and he did ii. There was no Wing clerk
whose salary he could thus increase. No, in

him to confer such favor upon.
