Cnlamges.

We love in youth, and plight our VOW:
TO love till life departs;
Forgetful of the fight of time,
The change of loving hearts.
To-day departs, tomorrow comes,
Nor finds a week away;
But no tomorrow finds man
The man he was to-day.
Then weep no more when love decays
For even hate is vain;
Since every heart that hates to-day,
Tomorrow loves again.

Not long since, some of the African
race had assembled at neighbor's house
to hold prayer meeting, when an old
brother of the church-and probably a
parson-was called on to lead in prayer,
which he commenced; but by some awk-
wardness, he caused some of the audi
ence to laugh. This caused the old man
to pray as follows. Bress Jesus KUN

to our stock of happiness, and to the ele
} vation of the moral character. For thi
, reason the condition of the family home
in this country where every man may
have home, should be raised, till it shall
symbolize the best character and pursuits
and the dearest affections and enjoyment
of social life-A. J. Doacning.
Algernon Sidney, in letter to his son
says that in the whole of his life. he
never knew one man, of what condition
soever, arrive at any degree of reputation
in the world, who made choice of, OF
delighted in the company or converse
ton of those who in their qualities were
inferior, or in their parts not much supe-
rior to himself"
MATRIMONIAL FoRBEARANCE.-Man
and wife are equally concerned to avoid
all offences of each other In the begin
ming of their conversation: Every little
thing can blast an infant blossom; the
I breath of the south can shake the little
rings of the vine when they first begin to
curl like the locks of new weaned boy;
but when by age and consolidation they
stifen into the hardness of stem, and
have, by the warm embraces and the
kisses Of heaven, brought forward their
clusters, they can endure the storms of
the north, and the loud noises of temp
est, and yet never be broken. So are
the early unions of an unfixed marriage
watchful and observant, jealous and busy,
inquisitive and careful and apt to take
alarm at every unkind word; for infrmi-
ties do not manifest themselves in the
first scenes, but in the succession Of a
long society, and it is not chance or weak
ness when it appears at first; but it is
want of love or prudence, or it will be so
expounded; and that which appears i'll at
first usually affrights the inexperienced
man or woman, who makes unequal con-
lectures, and fancies mighty sorrows by
the proportions of the new and early un-
kindness.
Those who are incapable of shining
but by dress, would do well to consider
that the contrast between them and their
clothes turns out much to their disad-
vantage.
The world is a looking glass, and gives
back to every man the reflection of his
face. Frown at it, and it will in turn
look sourly upon you: laugh at it, and
with it, and it is a jolly kind companion.
THE CHILD's HEART-A child's heart
responds to the tones of the mothers
voice like harp to the wind, and its on
ly hope for peace and courage is in hear
ing nothing but peace and gentleness
from her, and experiencing nothing but
love, whatever may be its
troubles elsewhere. Supposing this to
be all right, the mother will feel herself
from the first the depository of its conf
ience,-a confidence as sacred as any
other, though tacit, and about matters
which may appear to all but itself and
her infinitely small.
Let masters of families promote reli-
zion in their households. This is the
way to have obedient servants and duti-
ful children. Piety is the frmest basis
Of morality; secure Gods claims, and you
will not miss your own.
1t is the union of parts and acquire
ments, of spirit and modesty, which pro-
iuces the indefnable charm of converse
ton.
