FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD LOVE

lRo SECOND u AND Third LOt T..
BY AN OLD BACHELoR-oF COURSE.
Oh have loved beyond expression,
1t pains me now the truth to utter;
The first | loved-oh what confession,
And best of all, was-bread and butter
But, as | grew, my heart uprising,
| lov'd again-though not glutton,
But better, still, the love then prizing,
Was turkey roast, or beef and mutton.
OF all the rest the last was sweetest,
(To do without would drive me .crazy,)
To have room and live the neatest,
And eat, and sleep, and live SO lazy.
Some chaps pretend beyond expression,
Some pretty face, or foot, or ankle,
They love SO well; my own confession,
Will in their hearts (or gizzards) rankle.
Just let them try week of fasting,
And bread and butter set before them,
Or pretty girl to kiss for asking,
You'll see the love that first comes DER then

is THERE NO DEVIL.

An Episcopal clergyman, travelling in
England, relates the following dialogue, as
having occurred in an omnibus ], is anoth-
er "short method" Of disposing of the Uni
versalist doctrine of no devil -
First Universazist, addressing his
friendly Well, sir, were you at the Hall
last evening, to hear our friend Rushey9
Second UniversaliSt. No, was not.
F. u. That was pity, for Rushey did
the business mos. manfuIly you know the
subject was arhether there is any euidence
Of The being and personality of the deuH.
assure you, that. he gave the mos. solid and
positive proofs that there is no deuil. And,
indeed, there cannot be found NOWADAYS
any man of common sense who believes in
the existence Of the devil, or who will at
tempt TO prove such doctrine; ! say (look-
ing our divine full in The face,) no man of
common sense can believe in such an ab-
surdiiv.
Divine. Sir, lay claim to common
sense, without. pretending to anything more,
and believe there is devil.
f. U. All do you sir ? do you, indeed?
! am astonished, am astonished Believe
there is devil believe there is devil!
after what Mr.. Rushey has said, and many
others besides, who have with equal clear
ness proved the contrary! o no, sir, there
is no devil it is only trick of the priests;
there is no devil.
d. suppose, sir, you believe in the
scriptures:
p. y. Dyes, sir, to be sure do; it was
from the scripture Mr.. Rushey gathered his
proofs.
d. Well, then do we not read again and
again of the devil in the scriptures?
+. U. Truly, sir, truly; but deril means
only an euil conscience
d. Ah, indeed all evil conscience, an
evil conscience; let US try ii: "Now there
present themselves before the Lord, and
Satan came also among them"-an erH con-
science came also among Them sand the
Lord said unto Satan''-and the Lord said
unto an eu;l conscience.
F. U. O, sir, you need no, 60 any far
,her there; TO be sure, it does no. mean an
euil conscience there.
d. Well, sir, we will try it in another
case: "Then was Jesus led up Of the Spirit
into the wilderness, to be tempted of the
devil-.o be tempted Of an evil conscience.
F. U. "a little mortifed.) Why, yes,
it does not seem to hold good there, neither.
ID. Let US try it once more: "And there
was good way off an herd Of swine feed
ing. So the devils'-lhe euil Conscience
''besought him, saying, if thou cast US out,
suffer US to 60 away into the herd Of swine;
and he said unto them, Go; and when they
the evil conscience-"were come on, ,hey''
the evu conscience into the herd
Of swine"
The evil conscience of the Universalst
was troubled, and he was dumb.

BEAUTY IN MEN.

81 can tell when a woman's face is beau
tiful," said friend to US the other day
"bu, ! don't know what you call hand
some man,"
We might have referred him 10 the popu-
lar romances Of the present day for des-
crip,ion Of manly beauty, bu. having little
sympathy for these perfect beings, expan-
sve brows Of snowy whiteness, blue, black
or grey eyes, finely chiselled features, rich
wavy curls, and all the minu,ia of fancied
perfection, we simply said we believed there
was no particular standard Of beauty recog-
nizeG among the ladies with reference to his
sex, and we think that in so saying we are
correct.
81 do not like pretty man
With pretty lips and pretty walk,
With hands that prctty sports fan,
And delicate lips that prcttily talk.
The frank, open countenance, cheerful
with the light OF a sunshiny disposition, the
thoughtful, yet flexible and smiling in con-
versIion, the goodness of refined nature
Illuminating every lineament, give us these
in preference to all your set, fine faces And
even the irregular features of what are call
ed decidedly plain men, we have seen glow
with an expression absolutely beautiful ss
some all Pcrvading theme Of in.eres, lighted
up the face, SO that the crooked nose, even
the heavy shapeless forehead and the dull
eye, have caught a reflection of the inner
loveliness, the beauty Of the soul.
Then. gentlemen, remember il does not
need the air and the face of an Adonis TO
please and interest Us ladies. Only let us
read upon the countenance the stamp OF
cultivated mind or quick lightning up Of the
eye as some generous impulse prompts TO
an &C, of kindness, let us behold you at once
dlgnhcd aud courteous, gentle aud refined
to all slkc, even TO the erring, delicate in
in your attentions ESPECIALLY TO us ladies'

BEAR ON-BEAR BRAVELY ON.
o, never from my tempted heart
Let thine integrity depart;
Whaa disappointment fills thy cup,
Undaunted, nobly drink it up;
Truth will prevail, and Justice show
Her tardy honors, sure though slow.

Though often such its mazes seem;
We wSe not born to lives of ease,
Ourselves alone to.aia and please.

A labor which shall fit for heaven;
When duty calls, let love grow warm,
Amidsthe sunshine and the storm,
With Faith life's trials boldly breast,
And comes coqueror to thy rest.

WOMEN AS FIELD LABoRERs.-Mr. II.
Greedy, in one of his letters from Savoy,
thus speaks of the condition of women in
that country:
think saw quite as many women as
men at work in the field sthroughout Savoy.
A girl Of IA, driving yoke of oxen attach
ed to cart, walking barefoot beside the
Jean and plying the goadstick, while boy
of her own age lay at length in the cart is
one of my iveliest recollec,ions Of Savoy
ard ways. Nut brown, unbonne,.ed wo-
men, hoing corn with an implement between
an adze and pick axe, (and not bad i'm
pement, either, for SO rugged and unplow-
ed soil, y women driving hogs, cows, and Sc,
TO or from market, we encountered at every
town. So much hard rougl, work and ex-
posurc is fatal to every trace Of beauty, and
do not remember to have seen woman
in Savoy even moderately good looking,
while many were absolutely revolving
That this is not Natures fault is proved by
the general aspect Of the children, who,
though swarthy, have often good forms and
features.

1t is mistake to imagine that the volen,
passions only, such as ambition love, can
triumph over the rest. ldleness, languida IS
it is, often masters them all.
lie who gives fair words feeds you with
an empty spoon.
Slander is the revenge Of a coward, and
dissmulation his defence.
Troubles are like dogs, the smaller they
are the more they annoy you.
Every where cndcavor to be useful. and
every where you arc al home.

Within the limits of becoming mirth,
never spent an hours talk withal:
His eye begets occasion for his wit;
For every object that his eye doth catch,
The other turns to mirth-moving Jest;
Which his fair tongue (conceit expositor,)
Delivers in such apt and gracious words,
That aged years play truant at his tales,
And younger hearings are quite ravished;
So sweet and voluble is his DISCOURSE"
