The duties Of the employer and the en-
ployed are fixed and certain. While the
employer should not refuse TO pay the la
borer his hire, it is equally the duty of the
employed in all cases to perform his labor
diligently, and TO protect his employers
interests and property. If the laborer
fails to perform these duties, he robs his
employer, just as much as if he were to
take money from his desk

Whilst engaged in watching the sea,
neither the eye nor the mind ever becomes
weary. Each successive wave, as il
curves its silver foam and dashes on the
shore, has some novelty in it. There is
no monotony in the motion of the waves,
and the mind speculates momentarily on
each variety Of motion and form, finding
in all an inexhaustible fund for amuse>
ment, excitement, pleasure, and wonder.
II is no less true than remarkable, that the
ocean is the only substance which, in It's
movements, has not a wearying effect
upon the gazer. All olher foruls, ami
mate or inanimate, may amuse Tor a mo-
ment, minute, or an hour 6Gt their

A Hymn to the Night.
BY t. BUCHANAN READ.

Oh Night! most beautiful, most rare
Thou givest the heavens their hottest hue
And through the azure fields of air
Bringest down the gentle dew!
Most glorious occupant of heaven,
And fairest Of the earth and sea
The wonders of the sky are given,
Imperial Night, to thee.
For thou, with breathless lips apart,
Didst stand in that dim age afar,
And hold up thy trembling heart
Messiah's herald-star.
In Olivet thou heard'st Him pray,
And wept thy dews in softer light,
And kissed his sacred tears away
Thrice blessed, loving Night!
And thou didst overweight with sleep
The watchers at the sepulchre;
And heard'st the asking Mary weep,
Till Jesus answered her.
For this love thy hallowed reign
For more than this thrice bIest thou art
Thou gain'st the unbeliever's brain
BY entering at his heart
Oh, Night! most regal most divine
Thou lift'st the spirit from the dust
Gods best and brightest gifts are thine,
All thine and it IS just!

MY untry.
By C. S. PERCIvAL.


There is a name whose sacred spell
My heart with raplurous JOY can swell,
Allied to joy divine:
Or blind my eyes with gushing tears,
And sill my anxious soul with fears
My country, it is thine
The essence of all tender names,
The fire that lights all holy flames,
In that one fond name is found.
The loves of parents, brother, friend,
And childhood's home, all sweetly blend
In that melodious sound.
Its glory is my highest pride,
Its darkest shame l fain would hide,
Or wash with tears away.
The brightest hopes Of future years
Around that glorious name appears
My glorious country's name for aye
The love that kindles at the sound
No selfish, narrow limits bound,
Whene'er that name call,
own no PART l love the best
No North, no South, no East, no Vest,
My Country, ALL IN ALL.
