VIRTUE.
This treasure I'd rather own,

This treasure I'd rather own,
Than all the golden gems
That Ger in monarch's Golfers shown,
Than all their diadems.
Nay. were the seas one chrysolite,
The earth one golden ball,
And diamonds Ill the stars of night,
Virtue were worth them all.
All! no-the soul ne'er found relief
In glittering boards OF wealth;
Gems dazzle not the eye of grief,
Gold cannot purchase health.
But here blessed balm appears,
To heal the deepest woe,
And those who seek this boon in tears
Their tears shall cease TO flow.

Marriage for MONEY.

We cannot say with Edward Finger

our eyelds have been wet but we
have seen someone at least, when we
could have wept, had not The fever Of
the world long before dried up the foun-
tain of our childish tears. 1t was mar
rage for money; You might read tina, in
the miserable and decrepid form that
drew up its bended proportions before
the alter a, the side OF young, beautiful
aud simple hearted girl. She was pale;
| and her delicate little hand trembled as
it adjusted the fold Of her rich garments,
and there was culver about her fine
! mouth, " hich told of represscd agony;
and when the ceremony began, she turn
ed one hasty glance upon her ill-suited
bridegroom. nnd could clearly see her
shrink from him, with a slight but evil
dent feeling of di gust and adherence.
looked upon the bridegroom. lie was
regarding her with as much fondness as
his cold and selfish heart was capable Of
"a misery chucklc, as if he had just
counted over his gold-ihe smile Of an
ourangoutang. And was this the man To
whom the beautiful creature was to be
bound--a living and lovely being upon
lifeless corpse, beauty and greenness and
barrenness and decay! And her friends
and relatives--they stood clustering
around her, with their eyes fixed, not
upon the agonised coun.enance of their
vic,im---but upon the jewelry and the
gauds which adorned her. Fools! fools!
knew they not that the victim Of pagan
immo!ation is as gaudily deckeG when
she is placed upou her consuming pile
that her sacrifice is far less terrible, than
that a young and lovely creature, made
IN the simili:ude OF an angel, and glow
ing with itch arden, affections upon the
polluted shrine of mammon. Alas! what
could ever atone for This claiming of The
at1eclions-this binding ofloveliness and
innocence to decrepitade and age, disease
and avarice. Sick at heart, we turned a.
way from the melancholy spectacle,
while these words of the immortal Penn
rushed strongly upon our memory: Oh,
how sordid has man grown! man, the
noblest creature of The universe, as God
upon earth, and wearing the image of
Him who made il, thus to mistake the
end of his creation,- 10 worship, as his
God, gold instead of his Maker! y
