Are you stepping on the threshold of life =
Secure good moral character Without virtue
you cannot be respected; without integrity YOU
can never rise to distinction and honor
BE careful lest too warm a desire of distinction
should deceive YOU into pursuits that may cover
you with shame, by setting your incapacity and
slender abilities in full light
People who have the rashncss to intrudc into
stations without proper authority and the requisite
preparation for the services of the public, not on
ly involve Others in loss, bat subject themselves
to ridicule.
The tricky, dccci;tul and dishonest, arc rarely
prosperous for when confidence is withdrawn,
poverty is likely to follow
The shortest and surest way to live with honor
in the world, is to be in reality what we would ap-
pear to be,
When once 4 concealmcut or deceit has been
practised in matters where all should be fair and
open as the day, confidence can never be restored
any more than YOU can restore the white color to
the grape or plum that You have once pressed in

"We've all our Angel Side -

Despair not of the better part
That lies in human kind
A CLEAN of light still fiickereth
In cen the darkest mind
The savage with the club of war,
The sage so mild and good,
Are link d in firm eternal bonds,
OF common brotherhood.
Despair not Oh, despair not, then,
For through this world so wide
No nature is SO dcmon-likc,
But there's an angel side.
The huge rough stones from out the mine,
Unsightly and unfair,
Have veins of purest metal hid
Beneath the surface there
Few rocks so bare but TO their heights
Some tiny moss-plants clings,
And round the peaks so desolate,
The sea-bird sits and sings;
Believe me, too, that rugged souls,
Beneath their rudencss hide
Much that is beautiful and good
We've all our angel side.
In all there is an inner depth
a far off secret-way,
Where, through the windows ofthc soul, 4,
God sends his smiling ray.
In every human heart there is
4 faithful sounding chord,
That may be struck unknown to US
BY some sweet loving word.
The hayward heart in vain may try
It's softer thoughts to hide,
Some unexpected tone reveals
1t hath an angel side.
Despised, and low, and troddcn down,
Dark with the shade of sin,
Decphering not those halo lights
Which God has lit within;
Cropping about in utmost night,
Poor prison'd souls there are,
Who guess not what lite's meaning is,
Nor dream of heaven afar.
Oh that some gentle hand of love
Their stumbling steps would guide,
And show them that, amid it all
Life has its angel side.
Brutal, and mean, and dark enough,
God knows some natures are,
But He, compassionate, comes near
And shall we stand affair
Our curse of toll will not grow less,
If shared with hearty hand,
For words of peace and looks of love
Few natures can withstand.
Love is the mighty conqucror-
Love is the bcautcous guide
Love, with her bcamng eve, can see
We've all our angel side.

"THE LAST SHALL BE FIRST. "A week or
two ago, four creditors started from Boston, in the
same train of cars for the purpose of attaching
the property of certain debtor in Pennington,
in the State of Maine. He owed each one scpa-
ratcly, and they each one suspicious of the
object of the other, but dared not say word about
it. SO they rode, all acquaintanccS, talking upon
every thing except what they had most at heart.
When they arrived at the depot at Pennington,
which was three miles from where the debtor did
business, they found nothing to put EN- ovcrthe
road but solitary cab, towards which they all
rushed. Three got in and refused admitancc to
the fourth, and the cab started
The fourth ran after and got upon the outside
with the driver He asked the driver if he want
ed to sell his horse He replied that he did not
want to-that he was not worth $50 but he would
not sell him for that, lie asked if he would not
take 500. Yes said he. The "fourth man"
quickly paid over the money, took the rein, and
backed the cab up to 4 bank-slipped it from the
harness and tipped it up that the door coud not
be opened, and jumped upon the horses back and
rode off 'lick-asty-switch, while the INSIDERS
looking out of the window, feeling like singcd
cats
He rode to a LAWYERS, and got a writ made and
served and his debt secure, and got back TO the
hotel just as the insiders came up putting and
blowing. The cab man soon bought back his horse
for $50. The sold men offered to pay that
sum, if the fortunate one, who found property suf-
cient TO pay his own debt, would tell of it in

BURIED ALIyE.-Thc Wheeling Times of Sat
urday, gives the following melancholy account OF
q burial
" An Irishman, who had suddenly died on tie
railroad about eighteen miles below this city was
brou 5ht here for ntcrmcnt in this Catholic burial
ground on Tuesday last. Upon taking the coffin
out of the wagon, Mr. FitzimmonS, who happen
ed to be present, complimcnted the cabinet maker
for his skill in the manufacture of rcceptaclcs for
the dead, and then proceeded, without any cere-
mony, to lower the body into the grave. After
this was done they walked away, leaving the fill
ing up to Il subordinate, who, after throwing in a
few Shovcls full of earth, alarmed by a Singu-
lar noise of kicking and struggling i'll the cof-
fin, so that he ran away Coming up with Mr.. +.
he told him what he had heard and both immcdi-
atcy returned raised and opened the coffin, and
found the man turned on hit face, and his person
warm. The probability is, that had the coffin
been opened when the commotion was first heard,
the man might have been saved, and that he died
from suffocaton. This is an absolute fact and
canbe established by the testimony of eyc-wit-
nesscS."

A BEAUTIFUL TRUTH.-I have been told, says
a popular writer, by men who have passed unharm-
ed the temptations of youth, that they owed their
escape from many dangers, TO the intimate com
panionshp of their affectionate sister. They have
been saved from a hazardous meeting with idle
company by some engagement Of which their sis
tiers were the charm. They have RETAINED from
mixing with the impure because they would not
bring home thoughts and feelings which they could
not share with their loving sister The renem-
brance of some warm, eonfding, pnre-mindcd fc-
male friend, has saved many youth from the
snares TO thickly set into which, but for this, he
might have fallen.
