sds- An elegant writer of extensive OBJ
servation, once said -
"There is nothing under heaven SO de-
licious as the possession Of pure, fresh, iu-
mutable affections. The most felicitous
moment of mans life, the most ecstatic
of all his emotions and sympaties, is that
in which he receives an avowal of love from
the idol of his heart. The spring of feel
ing, when in their youthful purity, are
fountains of unsealed and gushing tender
ness-the spell that draws them forth in
the mystic light of future years and indy
ing memory. Nothing in life is so pure
and devoted as woman's love. Give her
but one kind word, or one gentle look,
even if it be amid desolation and death
the feelings of the heart will gush forth as
torrent, in despite of earthly bond or
mercenary tie. I would rather be the idol
of one unsullied and Impractical heart,
than the monarch of empires. | would
rather possess the immaculate and enthu-
siastic devotion Of one high-souled female
than the sycophantic fawnings of millions.

Bag, closes its first volume with two more
issues. The first number of the next
volume will be made up of contributions
from the pens of printers exclusively,

that it will be sparkling and bright"
We advise those troubled with ennui, blue

CHARLES WEsTLAND.
We will not. attempt to describe the
scene of heart-rending sorrow which sue
ceeded the reading of this letter in Mr.
Westland's heretofore happy family. Then
agony was too deep for words to portray
and the reader need scarcely be told that
for them the charm of whist had indeed
been changed to harm and Lizzie's un
finished game was never again resumed.
Mr.. Westland, however, rescued Charles
fame from the merciless tongues of the
gossipping tribe, for be fastened to New
York, showed Arthur's letter to his kind
hearted employer, paid the sum which
Charles had taken from him, and easily
obtained promise from the old gentleman,
which was given with tears in his eyes, to
bury the secret of his guilt in his own
bosom. Concluded next week
