Evening.

There are two periods in the life of
man in which the evening is peculiarly
interesting-in youth and in old age
In youth we love it for its mellow
moonlight, its millions of stars, its thin,
rich and shooting shades, its serenity
amid those who can commune with our
loves, or Irvine the wreathes of friend.
ship, while there is none to bear witness
but the heavens and the spirits that hold
their endless Sabbath there-or look
into the deep bosom of creation; spread
abroad like canopy above us and look
and listen till we can almost see and
hear the wavings and melting songs of
other worlds. 10 youth evening is de.
lightful; it accords with the flow of his
light spirits, the tervor of his fancy, and
the soltness of his heart. Evening is,
also, the delight of virtuous age ; it seems
an emblem of the tranquil close of busy
life-serene, placid and mild, with the
impress of its Creator stamped upon it,
1t spreads its quiet wings over the grave,
and seems to promise that all shall be
peace beyond it.

An lrIshman's Mistake.

Some time ago, as brother Ingalls,
was travelling through the western part
of New York, he fell in with an Irish
man, who had lately arrived in this coun-
try and was in search of brother that
came on before him and settled in some
of the diggins in that vicinity.
Pat was strong, athletic man; true
Catholic, and had never seen the inside
OF Protestant church. 1t was a pleas

gals met Pat, who inquired the way to
the nearest church.
Ingalls, is good and pious man. H.
told Pat he was going to church himself,
and invited his new made acquaintance
to keep him company thither, his place
of destination being a small Methodist
Westinghouse near by. There was re-
vlval there at that time, and one of the
deacons (who, by the way, was small in
stature invited brother Ingalls, to take
seat in his pew. He accepted the invi-
tation and walked in, followed BY Pat,
who looked in vain to find the altar, SC.
After he was seated he turned to brother
ingalls,, and in whisper which could

A MoTHER.-Who can look coldly
upon mother Who after the un-
speakable tenderness and care with
which she has fost tered him through in
fancy, guided him through childhood,
and deliberated with him through the
perplexities of opening manhood, can
speak irreverence of a mother? Her
claims to the affections of her offspring
are founded in nature, and cold must be
the heart that can deny them. Over the
grave of friend, of brother, or of
sister, would plant the primrose, for
it is mathematical of youth, but over
that of a mother would let the green
grass shoot up uRmolested, for there is
something in the simple covering which
Nature speads upon the grave, that we'll

ledge and the secret of his strength, was indeed
giant. Read the scripture narrative.
"Then went Sampson down. ANT
ehold a young lion roared against him.
"And the Spirit Of the Lord came nightly up

JUDGES xiv. 8, 6, etc.
BROTHERS! we have pledged ourselves,
Like the mighty man of old,
BY n vow that bindeth fast,
BY the Future! by the PAST
BY their banners now unrolled!
That the secret four strength,
ledgcd-unrevealed-
Setting us apart from Others,
Cnlefiled o, Giant Prothers!
Shall forever be concealed:
Never to be told on earth,
Never breathed aloud in prayer
Never wrtten-never spoken
Lest our awful vow, if broken,
Bring us bondage and despair.
Brothers! let us all remember,
How that Strong Man self betrayed;
He that with heart of iron,
Where he journeyed, heard the lion
Roar against him-undismayed:
He. the mightiest of the land,
BY the harlotry of Sense,
Blind and fettered, came TO be
A Jester at jubilee,
n proverb for his impotence!
And though his strength came back anew,
When he bowed himself in prayer,
Until he had avenged the wrong
That called him up with shout aud song
And jeer and scOtl:-he persisted there.

And bear back thy spirit to meet with me here;
Let us wander 'mong haunts side by side as ofyorc,

The merchant who aims to succeed in
business must aim at these two points-frst
to be sure, that he can satisfy wide de-
mand for the articles he deals in, on the
lowest practicable terms secondly that ev-
erybody within the proper scope Of his bu-
siness is made aware of bis ability, and con-
iident Of his disposition to do So These
points attained, he has only to do his business
properly, as it comes in upon him, and his
fortune is made.
To the merchant and dealer who is sure
of his ability TO ELL orders on the most "a
vorable terms the attainment Of an ade-
qrate publicity is the matter of primary
concern If his circle Of trade is properly
the county in which he lives, then he should
take effectGal measures to let every family
in that county know what he sells, and on
what conditions. 1t is idle to speak Of the
cost as an impediment-he might as well
object to the cost Of sheltering his goods from
bad weather, protecting them from thieves
or dealing them out to customers. All the
other cost Of his business is incurred without
adequate motive or return 50 long as this es-
sential element of his business is neglected
or scrimped. If his location and his stock
only entitle him to expect the custom Of his
own township or neighborhood, then be
should incur the expense of fully informing
that locality. Just SO with the wholesale
merchant who aspires to custom co-exten-
siye with his state, his section, or the whole
Union If he is prepared to satisfy SO wide
demand on favorable terms, the expense of
apprising those who he desires for custom
ers, of the nature of his business the char
acter of his business, the character Of his
stock, the range of his prices, and the rea-
sons why he should be dealt with, is one
which he cannot refuse to incur without
gross incompetency and ruinous prodigality.
BY thus refusing, he increases his expenses
for rent, lights and fuel clerk-hire, &c, from
half per cent. to three, five, and in some
cases ten per cent. on his aggregate sales,
and renders it morally impossible that he
should sell at a profit, and at the same time
sell as cheaply as his more enterprising and
capable rivals. In effect, he contesses defeat
and incapacity, and retreats to the rear rank
of his vocation.
Some men who know enough to advertise,
are yet so narrow as to confne their adver-
tisement to journals Of their own creed or
party. If they do not choose to trade with
any but men Of like faith, this is wise but
if they desire to have the whole public for
customers, it is otherwise.
There is a large class who delight to shine
in newspapers and placards as wits or poets
and announce their wares in secondhand
jokes or in dogerel fit to set the teeth of .
dull saw on edge. If their object is notori,
ETY. or laugh, this is the way to attain it
but if it be business, it would seem better
to use the language of business. Leave
clowns jests to the circus, and let sober mel
speak as they act with directness and deci
sion. The tewest words that will convey

rous pilgrims is satisfied, the Lamas resume,
but now calmy and gravely, the recitation
of their prayers. The Bokte takes, in his
right hand, blood from his wound raises it
to his mouth, breathes thrice upon it, and
then throws it into the air with loud cries
He next passes his hand rapidly over his
wound, closes it, and everything after a
while resumes it's pristine condition, no trace
remaining of the diabolical operation, ex-
cept extreme prostration. The Bokte once
more rolls his scarf round him, recites in a
low voice short prayer, and all is over,
and the multitude disperse, with the ex-
ception of a few of the especially devout,
who remain to contemplate and adore the
blood-stained altar which the saint has
quilted
These horrible ceremonies are of frequent
occurrence in the great Lamaseries of Tar
tary and Thibet, and we do not believe
that there is any trick or deception about
them; for, from all we have seen and heard
among idolatrous nations, we are persuaded
that the devil has q great deal to do with
the NATTER and, moreover, our impression
that there is 10 trick in the operation, is
fortified by the opinion of the most intelli-
gent and most upright Buddhists, whom we
have met in the numerous Lamaseries we
visited
1t is not every Lama that can perform
miraculous operations. Those who have the
fearful power 60 cut themselves open, for ex-
ample, are never found in the higher ranks
of the Lama hierarchy.
They are generally lay Lamas of indifie-
rent character, and little esteemed by their
comrades. The regular Lamas generally
make no scruple to avow their horror Of the
spectacle. In their eyes, all these opera
tions are wicked and diabolical Good
Lamas, they say, are incapable Of perform
ing such acts, and should not even desire to
attain the impious talent.

THUS DESERTED LET ME FLY

Ny home, my early, happy home!
Gladly would | from the roam,
Since all that bound my soul to thee,
Are scattered on LIES troubled sea;
And left me but the painful past,
The ioyless hour | saw them last.
Ny own loved, native forest wild!
Where oft the loved the lost have smiled;
Ye bring again that hated hour;
A gloom comes DER thy brightest bower,
For We recall to rae the past.
The loyless hour | saw them last.
Winter! once my hearts delight,
Go take again thy yearly flight,
Though in thy season all are gay,
| would not have the longer stay,
Since thou TOO speakest of the past,
The ioyless hour | saw them last
Thou wilt with thee, genial spring,
Natures tenderest beauties bring,
And with thy softest balmy dews.
Unfold the gardens varied hues.
But OIL thou too recall'st the past,
The ioyless hour saw them last
Gentle silvery Queen of night
I've watched thee in thy liquid light,
With those, though far away yet dear;
But now thy beauty brings a tear;
For with thee nightly comes the past,
The joyless hour | saw them last.
Oh! thus deserted let me fly
To where some blue and cloudless sky
Smiles on some ever verdant spot,
Where sighs and tears are all forgot
Where naught can ere recall the past,
The ioyless hour | saw them last.
