the following passage descriptive of the feelings
OF the author, when approaching the end If his
upward journey, more tllan fifteen thousand feet
above the level of the sea:

RULES FOR THE JOURNEY OF LIFE.-rhe
following rules, from the papers o! DR.. West,
according to his memorandum, are thrown to-
getheI as general way-marks in the journey Of
lie:
Never .ridicule sacred hngs, or what others
may esteem as such, however absurd they may
appear to you.
Never show levity when people are engaged at
worship.
Never to resent supposed injury till know
the views and motives OF the author Of it. On no
occasion TO relate it.
Always to take the part Of an absent person,
who is censured in company, so far as truth and
propriety will allow.
Never to think worse of another on account Of
his differing from me in political and religious
s"hjects
Not to dispute with man who is more than
seventy years Of age, nor with woman, nor any
enthusiast.
Not to affect to be witty, or to jest so as to
wound the feelings of another.
To say as little as possible of myself and Of
those who are near to me.
To aim at cheerfnlness without levity.
Never TO court the favor Of the rich by hatter-
ing either their vanities or their vices.
To speak with cslmness and delIbera,on on al
occasions, especially in circumstances which tend
to irritate.

A VOICE TO THE TOILER,

A VOICE TO THE TOILER.
Bv JOHN COOPER VAIL,
Poet Laureate for Ossian's Bards.
Be firmer, strike harder,
Be brave in the throng;
Man Of thought, will, and action,
Thou hast suffered too long.
Come marshal your armies
From mountain and vale,
Thou art formed In Gods image,
And never canst fail.
Though crushed 10 the earth,
Now. Titan like, rise
Lo the lightning of science
Cleans bright In the skies.
When coward oppression
From its power is hurled,
The breath of Gods mandate
Is rocking the world.
From the ice. felda Of Greenland
To swat tlindostan,
Rise triumphant from bondage,
Seek the birhright of man.
Read futurity's volume
With DobIo desire,
Yea, read II like Daniel,
In letters of fire.!
The tyiants have ruled ,hee,
With cruel renown;
Gold has striven 'gainst talent,
And crushed genius down.
A. Babylon's seer
Solved the writing God made,
Your foes in the balance
Are f+arfully weighed.
As the pillows Of darkness
Marked Deity's flight,
Ere the planets Of cha IS
Rose in gltry and light;
As Mount Calvary saw
Gods mortal part die,
They see, fiolh Golgotha,
r demp,ion is nigh.
As the sword of Charles Martei
Smote The Saracen horde,
As the children Of Judah
Put trust in the Lord,
Rise up in your manhood,
lasha, lied and fiss
He who f'ugh. OF Beeth-horoh
Is fighting for thee
Be firmer, strike harder,
Like i.uther, Of yore,
Scan the ocean Of darkness,
The havens befule.

There lead in the van,
Where nations can witness
Redemption of man
