The Secret of Successful Lying,
DY CHARLES MAcxAY.

Build lie--yes build lie,
A large onc--bc not over tender;
Give it form and raise it high,
That all the world may sec its splcndor;
Then launchit like mighty ship
On the restless sea of mons opinion,
And the ship shall sail before the gale
Enducd with motion and dominion.
Though storms may batter it oycrmorc,
Though angry lightnings flash around it,
Though whirlwinds rave, and whirlpools roar
To ovcrvhelm and to coniound It,
The ship shall ride, all wrath of time
And hostile elements defying:
The winds of truth arc doubtless strong,
But greats the buoyancy OF lying.
And though tho ship grow old at last,
l.eaky, and water-loggcd, and crazy,
Yet still the hulk cndures the blast,
And fears no weather, rough or hazy;
For should she sink, she'll rise again,
No strength her rotten planks shall sever:
Give her but size, and the worst of lies
May float about the world for ever.

An AFFEcTIoNATE PARIsmoNER.-Av very
able hut rather dry preacher held forth on
grace and free iCiH,' and sundry other
complex topics till his hearers were nearly
asleep; at last he concluded with this a,cake-
ming remark :-'My dear hearers, after all,
can only say that, however true / believe
all have said to be, Comenlntaiors don't agree
with me- Here he closed. The next day
one of his excellent deucons called on him,
and says he, Doctor, was ieetie consarn-

REToRT.-One day III dinner, Currau said
to Father O'Leary:-
"Reyercnd Father, l wish you were ST..

"And why, counsellor, would you wish j

"By my honor and conscience" replied

Beyond moon or star, s.i
To the land where the sinless angels arc.

But now we'll go
Where the waters flow,
And make us bed where none shall know
The world is cruel the worlds untrue:
Our foes are many; our friends arcfew;
No work, no bread, however we sue!
What is there left for us to do
But Ay--Ay,

And hide in the deepest deeps-and die

WoMANrsu MEN.-The Meadville, Penn.
correspondent of tho N, Y. Christian IN
q,Rrer, who, if we mistake not, is the. Rev.
James Freeman Clark, formerly of this
city) pays the following Just tribute TO tnlents
of three Bostonians, whose reputation, as
Retormers stands as high in this country as
that of any other trio on the globe:
"The WomRns Rights question | sec
has given you some trouble. | agree with
some of your critics, that the gentlemen
present, or represented by letter, at the
'Womans Rights Convention at Worces-
ter, could hardly be called womanisll men
if that phrase he understood as implying
any absence of munliness. In another age,
Samuel j, May, Wendell Phillips, and
William II. Charming would have been the
men to yanqush giants and deliver oppross-
ed maidens by force of spear and sword
Now they do il with mind, voice, aud pen.-
But the spirit OF true chivaIry, meihinks,
beats as high in their hearts as in that of any
knight of romance, and no Bayard was ever
more free from fear and reproach ilInn they.
In certain sense, ! admit that my friend
William II. Claiming, is womanly. lie has
woman's fine sense Of beauty aud honor, a
woman's tenderness of heart, Joined to a
manly courage and soul of fire. But such
has been the endowment of the loliiest he
roes of all times"

Blind to The Christian Law.

The Rev. Mr. Law, well known divine
Of the last century, observes:
"What blindness can be greater than to
suppose Christian Kingdom, as such, can
have any other union with Christ, than that
which makes the private Christian to be one
with him; or that pride, ambition, envy, COW
etousness, rnpine, resentment, revenge, ha-
tired, mischief, and murder, are the works
of the devil, whilst they are committed by
private men; but when carried OH by all the
strength and authority, all the hearts, hands
aud voices Of n whole nation, the devil is
quite driven out of themw "Fhncy to
yourselves" he says, "Christ the Lamb of
God, after his sermon on the mount, putting
himself at the mead of an army" lie then
gives form OF prayer, to be said before
the batte:-"O blessed Jesus, who camest
down from heaven TO save mems lives, not to
destroy them 90 along, we humbly pray
thee, with our bomb vessels and fire-sliips
suffer not our laundering cannon TO roar in
vain; but let thy tender hands of love and
mercy direct their balls to more hands and
hearts of thine own redeemed creatures,
than the poor skill of man is able of itself
to do" t,

AFsTAIN'S MAG GAXINE.
OFFER EXTRAORDINARY!

llp Dlgil pOSluon WHICH IcAkTAlN ) MAG
AzINE has assumed in regard TO its literary
character, has, we believe, never been ques-
toned. No American, and no European
mngaziue has ever arrayed in lis support n
more accomplished corps of contributions
Minds of the highest order have, from the
first, been employed to write for it. With
view, however, to draw forth, for the use of
their readers, articles of still greater value,
the propretors have determined, in addition
to the present outlay for literary contribu-
tions, TO offer the sum of
m ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
TOR TEN PRIZE ARTICLES;
To be published monthly till the series is
completed. This offer is entirely different
from the usual schemes bearing the same
name. Those schemes generally propose an
apparently high price for few stories, with
out putting any limit upon the length, and
claiming as gratuitous all that do not gain n
prize. Thus they olten under the appear
ance of liberality, are only lotteries to secure
q large amount of matter at a small price,
Thus, also, their propretors Gil out their
periodicals from month to month with stories
of interininable length, the author who will
offer the longest story, being pretty sure to
gain the prize. In our plan, on the contra
ry, the writers are limited as TO space, no
article being accepted which exceeds very
moderate length. We want the BEST ar
ticles, not the longest. Moreover, all The
pieces ichich do NOT gain prize are 10 be re-
turned 10 The authors, unless Otherwise uego-
tiated for. In other words, the publishers
offer TO pay for each of these special articles
the sum of ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS.
Their object is TO secure, besides their
usual variety and. excellence of matter, a
series Of monthly articles entirely superior
to any thing heretofore published in the
magazines. They have determined to place
| their magazine, in respect TO It's literary
character, beyond the reach of competition
The pieces offered in competition must
be presented by the first of April, 1851
They may be tales, essays, or articles of q
| miscellaneous character, according TO tho
taste or Judgment Of the writers, but mus
be on subjects of general interest, must be
of character suited to interest the grea
mass of readers, must contain something
striking aud likely to arrest attention, and
must, moreover, be of moderate LENGTH
sag about sir or eight magazine pages.
/ In selecting from the articles offered, the
proprietors will he governed by the decision
of a committee Of competent aud disinter
ested Judges, whose names will be annouuc
ed in the March number of the Magazine
1 The publication of the series will be com
menced Immediately after the decision o
the committee, aud each article will be pait
for the month upon which it is published.

From the London Leader,
uRlEL,


The Scraph Uricl, as the records tell
That angels write, from his allcgiencc fell;
And He who rules the worlds beyond the sun
lie in whom lovo and wisdom arc made one
Did hurl him from his royalty OF light,
To dwell amid the souls that wall in night.
Then Uriel felt his beauty fade away,
And great grief lay on him day by dayi
But as his splendor withercd for his SIM,
Stronger and brighter grew the love within
And so in silence, in lis fiery jail,
lie stood, rejoiccd that love could yet prevail
One day tho ancient gods that howl below
Accostcd Urcl =" Uncl this great wo
VIII never pass the stars will seek the sun,
The universe shall end rs il begun;
But through the endless circle OF the years
That angela know, shall neither hopes nor fears
Visit the dwellcrs in this world of fire;
Therefore, when hate and anguish shall inspire,
Ease your full heart with curses deep as ours
Your love will never win your Edens bowers.
| Thcn Urcl answered: "IIc who made the
night,
Crownd il with stars and with the pure delight
OF the clear moon: lie who made all things
| frail
| DEGREES that sovereign beauty shall prevail.
| There is no sorrow, friends, but It has still
! Some soul of sweetness in It there's no Ill
/ But comes from Him who made it, and is good
| AZ fruit in season, leaf in budding wool.
/ But IF in this drcar world all hope were vain
/ Ifpenance were ctcral--if such pain
I He could inhict and cnduro-my will
! Would bo to love, thro all this cruel i'll.
IIc cndcd and tho ancient gods below
| Ceased howling when they saw the sweet calm
| glow
| That wandor'd over that good angels face,
| Making moonlight round them, till the grace
| That was in his brave bearing and mild speech
/ Melted the hatred from the hearts Of each;
7 And they stood up, and thro' the streets of he'll
| The sound of countless voices rose and fell
! prasing the silent soul that dwclls above,
Singing, "Wc love Thee, Lord, fol- Thou art
| Love-"
Then tho dark dungeon burst its CRATES and
bars,
And light came glowing in from suns and stars,
Lapsing down dreadful riffs; the shapes below
Saw fragments of blue sky above them glow,
lake windows through the rents; they folt the
air
Cooling their branded forchcads everywhere
They the faces of young angels shine,
And golden fingers point TO thrones divine;
While low whisper murmurod like the breeze
That comcs and goes on tops of mulberry trees (;
And thus it said: 40, loving angels, rise,
Borne by strong love through tho, unfolding
skies;
There is no sin, no sorrow, and no hell,
But they must cease, where hearts love long and
well,
Where lips praise God in anguish and confess
There's love in pain--that even wrong can
bless
The whisper ceased; and every soul forgiven
BY Love for Loves sweet sake, went up to
heaven.
Each stood before his throne-fair, glad and
calm; -.
| And God SIT in the midst, and heard the psalm
| Which joyful angels raised in chorus blind
And Uricl sat like God, at Gods right hand.

Calling on his pastor, the chorister asked
his appreciation of new version of these
lines. which would render them more readi-
ly adap;ed TO the music he had composed.-
lie suggested TO read them as follows:
O may my heart botuncd within,
Like David's sacred violinl
Tho GOOD pastor had some internal ton
dcncies to laugh in the singing mans face,
but maintaining his gravity as we'll ms he
could. he said that he thought he could i'm
nrove the improved version, admirable ms il
vos The delighted chorister begged him to
do so, and the pastor, taking his pen, wrote
before the eyes of his innocent parfshionor
these lines:
