hearted, when we received the impressions which
II now renews within us. No matter whether the
events OF past experience were pleasant or diss-
greeable, If the soul that realized them was truth
full and sincere, then does the bright become more
beautiful and the darker shades OF experience
lose their esperity as they rccedc into the past
Like evening clouds, they sometimes glow with a
more beautiful sunset radiance, and enrich our
present life with the brightest visions reflected
from the past
Neither can remembered joys become to us a
source Of pain, If we are still sincere. Ii may be
otherwise when we ourselves are false Then il
is possible we may realize the words Of the poet :
There is no greater pain than TO remember hap
by hours in moments of suffering
1.-THE impressions Of painful experience have
been received by soul debased and unworthy Of
its high destiny, there is poisoned current sent
forth to flow onward, ever imparting baleful in
fiuence TO that soul, until haply it shall have
arisen beyond that influence by the native good
yet remaining within it.
Then, If thou wonldst carry with thee pleasant
memories through life, be truthful Look forward
TO the darker hours, when the shadows Of age cast
gloom over the things of time, and be animated
with renewed energy to fill the present with
bright and virtuous actions-wth the impress Of
truthful and heroic soul, so that full tide Of
bright and glorious memories may bear down upon
that darker age, and ilumine the fading embers
Of life with brilliant halo.

Bones are the phosphate Of lime; 40 is a beau
tiful crystal called APPETITE This crystal is found
in granite rocks, is of green color, hexahedral
shape, and resembles the berry and emerald The
phosphate of lime constitutes part Of mari beds

powerful fertilizer II is also one ingredient Of
milk In these various relations, il exists in no
small abundance, and performs no unimportant
agency, either in animate or inanimate creation.
1t surely ought to be known, at least by every
farmer and Of course taught to every farmers SOD,

Derbyshire spar is the auate Of lime It re-

agency Of oxygen, combining in each case with the
same oxyde form the carbonate, sulphate, phos-
phate, fuate, and nitrate Of lime
All these lime formations, except the nitrate,
frequently appear in beautiful crystals Some Of
the carbonate crystals are rhombic spar pearl
spar, dogtoo,h SPAR tabular SPAR satin spar,
qonite, and others amounting in the whole to two
or three hundred distinct crystalline forms of the
carbonate of lime Some Of the crystals of the
sulphate Of lime are selenite (moon stone) fbrous
gypsum, radisted gypsum anhydrous gypsum, &c
The principal, perhaps tho ouly, crystal Of the
phosphate Of lime is APPETITE, already named, In

an inch or two in diameter The phosphate Of
iron sometimes presents interesting crystalline

which the brides mother lent willing ear, while
her heart murmured, poor Mary! The younger
