ExcERPTs.-Every plant that is produced,
every child that is born, is new idea, a fresh
expression Of the wisdom and goodness of our
Creator.
Revenge reaps no reward. 1t is its own
most fearful punishment Its thirst is death.
Deeds of horror are its luxuries.
Custom will have the same effect, with re-
spect to death, as to other fightful things; it
will take off its terror.
The noblest remedy for injuries is oblivion.
Light injuries are made lighter by not regard
ing them.
No poultice has ever been discovered to
draw out man s virtues so fully as the sod that
covers his grave.
Money in your purse will credit you-wis-
dom in your head adorn you-but both in your
necessity will serve you.

ADVICE OF AN OLD LADr.-Now
John, listen to me, for | am older than
you or couldn't be your mother. Never
do you marry young woman, John,
before you have contrived to be at the
house where she lives at least four or
five times before breakfast. You should
take notice whether her complexion is
the same in the morning as in the eve
ming, or whether the wash or towel have
robbed her of her evening bloom. You
should take care to surprise her, so that
you may see her in her morning dress,
and observe how her hair looks when
she is not expecting you. If possible
you should be where you can hear the
morning conversation between her and
her mother. If she is ill-natured and
snappish to her mother, so she will be
to you, depend on it-but if you find
her up and dressed neatly in the morn
ing, with the same ccuntenance, the
same smiles, the same neatly combed
hair, the same ready aud pleasing
answers to her mother, which character
lied her department in the evening, and
particularly if she is lending hand to
get the breakfast ready in good season,
she is a prize, John, and the sooner you
secure her to yourself the better.

ny~ An amusing story is told of a
young Partisan artist, who lately painted
a portrait of Duchess, with which her
friends were not satisfied, declaring it
was totally unlike. The painter how
ever was convinced that he had sue
ceeded admirably, and proposed that the
question of resemblance or no resem-
blancc should be left to a little dog be-
longing to the Duchess, which was
agreed to. Accordingly the picture
was sent to the hotel of the lady the
next day, and large party assembled
to witness the test. The dog was called
in, and no sooner did he see the portrait
than he sprang upon it, licked it all
over, and showed every demonstration of
great joy. The triumph of the painter
was completes ,and alliprescnt insisted that
the picture had been retouched during
the night, which was actually so, the
artist having rubbed it over with thin
coat of lard! The dogs nose was
sharper than the critics. eyes.

Certificate of the Efficacy of
DR.. WOOdWOrth's Syrup.

nR. M. WOODWORTH-Sir: This is to
~ certify that my wife has been afflicted
with the Scrofula from child, and for the
last ten years she has suffered beyond de-
scription. 1t made its appearance on the
upper part Of the mouth, and also on the
under jaw; it had become such an eating
sore, that small pieces of bone have come
out. 1t was attended with the most excru-
ciating pains. In this manner she has suf-
fered without finding any relief. She was
attended by some of our best physicians, but
all to no purpose; they had all given her up.
At last she was induced to try DR.. Towns
ties, but it did her no good. Seeing your
advertisement, she was induced by a friend
to try your Syrup. sent to your agent in
Hartford, and procured bottle TO- her, and
as astonishing as it may seem, before she
had finished taking that bottle, she was re-
lieved of those excruciating pains, and her
mouth is gradually healing. She has taken
four bottles, and she is now able to be
around and attend to her household duties !;
and we would hereby recommend this to
others in like manner afflicted, as being one
Of the medicines ever offered to the public !;
and we feel duly grateful that we could OBJ
tain anything to procure relief.

How beautiful, how wonderful
Thou art, sweet Air
And yet albeit thine odors lie
On every gust that mocks the eye,
We pass thy gentle blessings by
Without care
How bountiful, how wonderful
Thou art, sweet earth
Thy seasons changing with the sun
Thy beauty out Of darkness won;
And yet. whose tongue (when all is done)
Will tell thy WORTH
The poets He alone doth still
Uphold all worth
Then love the poet love his themes,
His thoughts half hid in golden dreams,
Which make thrice fair the song andstream
Of Air aud Earth.
