Love On.
BY ELIZA COOK.

Love on, love on, the soul must have shrine
The rudest breast must find some hallowedspot
The God who formed us left no spark divine
In him who dwellS ou earth, yet loveth not
Deyotion's links compose sacred chain,
OfhJy brightness and unmeaSured length;
The world with selfish rust and reckless stain
NIay mar it's beauty, but not touch It's strength
Love on. love Quay, even though the heart
We fondly build on proveth like the sand;
rThonrh one by one Faiths corner stone depart,
And even Hopes last pillar fails to stand;
Thoarh we may dread the lips we once betev
And know their falsehood shadowsall our days,
Who would not sooner trust aud be deceived
Than own tue mean, cold spirit that betrays
Love on, love on, though we may live to see
The dear face whittier than its clrcling shroud ;
Though dark and dense the gloom ofDeath may be-
Affections glory yet shall pierce the cloud
The truest spell that Heaven can give to lure,
The sweetest prospect Mercy can bestow,
Is the bless'd thought that bids the soul be sure
Twill meet above the things 1t loved below
Love on, love on-Creation breathes the words;
Their mystic music even dwells around;
The strain is echoed by unnumbered chords,
And centlest bosoms yield the fullest sound.
As flowers keep sprngipg, though their dazzling
bloom
Is oft put forth for worms to feed upon,
So hearts, though wrung by traitors and the tomb
Shall still be precious, and shall still live on.

New YoRK ExTRAvAGANcE.-Hon. Jno.
A.. Dix, in recent lecture before the HIS
torical Society, made the following very
Just remarks =
Nothing can be more unwise than the e.
rection of costly dwellings, which can only
be maintained by princely fortunes. AT the
death Of the head of The family, and the di-
vision of the ancestral property no one Of
the children, as general rule, has enough
to support the establishment, and it passes
into other hands. Nothing can be more
cruel to children than TO bring them up with
expectations which cannot be fulfilled and
with habits of life which they are compel
led to abandon. The parent. for the sake
of few years Of ostentation invests large
portion of his estate in a splendid dwelling,
with the certainty that his death will be the
signal for the expulsion of his children from
it. Nothing can be more inconsiderate if
1t is done without reflection, or more un-
feeling, if it is done with full view Of the
inevitable consequences. Look for The
splendid mansions OF thirty years ago, and
see what has become of them. Scarcely
one remains in the family by which it was
constructed. They are boarding houses, ,pa-
ces of public exhibition, or the workshops
of fashion.

COLUMN FOR YOUTH.
Rules for Success i'm BUSINESS.

In the appendix to "Freedley's Pracfi-
cal Treatise on Business" are several let
ters from men Of approved sagacity and
success in life. The following, from John
Grigg, contains many things that ale well
worthy Of regard: -
FIRsT.-Be industrious and economical.
Waste neither time nol money in small and
useless pleasures and indulgences. "Ifthe
young can be induced TO begin TO save. the
moment they enter on the paths of life, the
way will ever become easier before them,
and they will not fail to attain compe-
tency, and that without denying themselves
any OF. the real necessaries and comforts
ofhfe."
I SEcoND.-fo industry and economy add
scf-reliance. "Do moi take too much ad-
vice. The business man must keep at the
helm. and steer his own ship"
THIRD Avoid large credits. "There
are three elements. equally beneficial in
their use, equally destructive in their abuse.
These are Fire, Water and Banks"
FOpRTH.-Attend TO the ninutia OF the
business, small things as well as great.
See that the store is opened carly, goods
brushed up twIne and nails picked up, and
all ready for action "A young man should
consider capital, if he have it, or as he may
acquire it, merely as tools with which he
is 10 work, not as substitute for the me-
cessty of labor.
FIFTH.-Marry early. "The man Of
business should marry as soon as possible.
after twenty-five or three years of age. A
woman ofmind will conform 10 The neces-
sites of the day Of small beginnings; and
in choosing wife man should look at,
1st The heart; I'd. The mind Sd. The per-
son."
sIxrn:-"E'olIov duty, and never LET
truth strike her topsai"
SEvENTH.-Eyerythng, however re-
mote, that has any bearing upon success,
must be taken advantage Of. "The busl.
ness man should be continually on the
watch for information and ideas that will
throw light on his path, and he should be
an attentive reader of all practical books,
especially those relating 10 business, trade,
&C., as well as patron of useful and en-
nobing literature"
EIGHTH.-"Never forget favor, for in
gratitude Is the basest trait of mans heart.
Always honor your country, and remember
that cur country is the very best poor mans
country in the world"

A TRUE TALE,-BY MRS. T. wELMoNT.

Some people seem to have an idea that
they pay too much Tor everything, and it is
positive duty to employ those who will
work the, cheapest.
Mrs. Ellsworth lived very sumptuously
and her daughters dressed very elegantly
We won't call them extrayagant, because
people who have plenty of money are moi
obliged to give an account to their neigh
bors of their expenditure. They were how
ever, discussing the very subject them
selves, upon the damaSk lounges, when the
servant man entered and presented the
seamstress' BILL Such a nice folded paper
always attracts the family's attention, anc
having looked at the bottom and the amount
exclaimed
"Dear me, how high"
They then proceed to examine the con
tents of the bundle which accompanied the
bill.
"The work is done beautifully" said
Miss Henrietta how superbly the lace is
set on-how splendid this is hemsti.ched.
| declare, mother, never intend to do any
work myself again, it is so much better
than can make it look"
"But you forgot" SAID the mother, "that
il costs a great deal to hire all our sewing
for large family, if 1t be done ever SC
cheap :" yet she felt herself that it was
pleasant to have garments made.
"I wonder" said Sophia, tall, graceful

to have them done by the first day of May

The child was sent home to inquire Of
her mother what she would charge to make
ten shirts with full bosomS hem-stitched
each side, and rufled, of the incest fabric,
aad work to correspond.
The little girl returned, and ar!lessly re-
piled:
"Mother says how she shall charge q
dollar: but if the young folks said they
wouldn't give it, rather than lose the job
she would say seventy-Gve cents piece p
Amused with the simplicity which ought
to have excited sympathy rather than mer-
riment, Sophia pretended that seventy-fve

TIE DEATH OF IYFANTs.-Those who
never lost a child are unable to understand
how great a void the death of one little one
can make. There is, we think, nothing on
earth that can cast so long and wide s black
a shadow as a small coffin. 1t is emphati-
cally the shadow of death which freezes the
parents heart.
Small as is an infants tomb, it sometimes
is capacious enough TO hold all the bright
est hopes and dearest joys of whole fami-
ly circle. The little child is often the
bright focus where all the rays of gladness
IN household centre, and from which they
are reflected again over happy hearts and
when this central light is eclipsed great
darkness falls upon all.
How many there must be in heaven gath
cred up from all climcs, even from heather
shores, who have died so young as to re-
tan TO memory of earth: and to whom tha
world of glory seems as their native land
whose souls were washed and regeneratet
so early that no stain of this world was e
yer visible upon them.
Whatever wound of sin there may have
been has healed without scar; their eve
ry thought has been moulded by the society
and scenery of heaven, and they stand con
iinually before The face Of the Father. Ii
how large sense may we say, "Of sucl
is the Kingdom of Heaven ~

&e, Does the Democratic Farmer casks
the New York Courier wish to know what
would have been the effect upon the price
of Iron if the Wing Tariff of 1S42 continued
TO this day? Let him look to the history
of the Nail Manufacture. We all remem-
Der when common Cut Nails were worth
shilling pound and that would have been
their value at this day but for Protective
Tariff and Home Competition. Congress
imposed specific duty of FIVE per cent
per pound upon Cut Nails and in conse-
auence, American Capital embarked IN the
business. The first effect as matter oil
course. was to raise the price of Nails but
the protection was so ample, that the a.
mount Of Capital invested was daily lncFeas--
ed, until Home Competition excited great
er economy in their manufacture and the
improvement of the machinery. And what
is the very natural consequence! why
capital and ingenuity have both been re-
warded. The nail business alone, furnish
es occupation for tens of thousands of peo,
ple who are consumers of our agricultural
produce and while the duty continues 10
be fre cents per pound, the price of Nails
is only three cents instead Of twelre ana a

est have had their folly or their madness.
Cardinal Richelieu, one of the strongest Of
positive minds, often imagined himself TO
be horse, and would then leap about the
room, neighing and kicking. The grea. NAL
ebranche was at times not only fool, but
an arch-fool. He once fancied that he car
red an enormous leg of mutton at the tip
of his nose A friend would accost him
thus: GLOW is M. Malebranche TO day p
Very well, on the whole; but this horrd
leg Of mutton becomes insupportable by its
weight and by its SMELL" How leg of
mutton % "INhat don't you see it Z" If
the person said No" then Malebranche
was seriously annoyed. An ingenious friend
proposed to cure him of this folly or disease,
call it which you will he visited him, and
at once pretended TO recognize the insight
y object. The good father embraced his
visitor, the first believer in his appendage;
bat the friend started back, crying, ella
your leg of mutton has struck me in the
face" at which Malebranche expressed
much regret. The other went on. 81 am
surprised that you have not endeavored to

an operation quite unattended with danger"
"Ah |! my friend my friend I owe you
more than life! Yes Yes by all means!"
In twinkling, the friend lightly cut the
tip of the philosopher nose, and adroitly
taking from under his mantle superb leg
of mutton, raised it in triumph. "Ah"
cried Malebranche, 81 live, breathe, am
saved' My nose is free, my head is free
but-but-it was raw, and that is cooked %
"Truly it is so; but then you have beer
seated near to the fre-that must be the
reason" From that time, poor. Malebranche
was no more troubled by his leg Of mutton,
and he continued TO be known far and wide,
as the great author of the Search after
Truth.

POETRY.
Young Again--A Dream.

An old man sits in high back'd chair,
Before an open door,
While the sun of summer afternoon
Falls hot acr SIS the floor,
And the drowsy click of an ancient clock
Has notched the hour Of four.
A breeze blows in and breeze blows out
From the scented summer air.
And it flutters now on his wrinkled brow,
And now it lifts his hair;
And the leaden lid of his eye drops down,
And he sleeps in his high-back'd chair
The old man sleeps and the old man dreams
His head drops on his breast,
His hands relax their feeble hold,
And fall to his lap in rest.
The old man sleeps, and ius sleep he dreams
And in dreams again is blest.
The wears unroll their fearful scroll;
He is child again,
A mothers tones are in his ear,
And drift across his brain;
He chases gaudy butterflies
Far down the rolling plain.
He plucks the wild rose in the woods,
And gathers eglautine,
And holds the golden bUttercups
Beneath his sisters chin;
And angles in the meadow brook
With bent and naked pin.
He loiters down the grassy lane
And by the brimmlng pool,
And a sigh escapes his parted lips
As he hears the bell for school
And he wishes it never were nine O'Clock,
And the morning never were full.
A mothers hand is pressed on his head,
Her kiss is ON his brow
A summers breeze blows in at the door
With toss OF leafy bough,
Aud the boy is white-halr'd man again,
And his eyes are tear fill'd now.

KINDNESS IN LITTLE THHNGs.-The sum
shine of life is made up Of very little beams
that are bright all the time. In the nurse
ry, on the play ground, and in the school,
there is room all the time for little acts of
kindness that cost nothing but are worth
more than gold or silver. To give up
something, where giving up will prevent
unhappiness-to yield, when persisting wil
chafe and fret others-to 60 little around,
rather than come against another-to take
an ill word Or a cross look quietly, rather
than resent or return it, these are the
ways in which clouds and storms are kept
of, and a pleasant and steady sunshine Sc
cured even in very humble homes, and a.
mong very poor people, as well as in fami-
lies in higher stations.

aa- There is nothing we would saw |,

o. There is nothing we would say, like
a faithful wife; under God, our veal or cur
woe for this life depends upon her. If she
is desponding, your own sanguine spirit
catches the infection. But if she is full of
hope and energy, her smiles will cheer you
on in the darkest hour, and enable you to
achieve what you at first thought impossi-
bilities. Our success in this world, as well
as our happiness, depends chiefly upon our
wives. Let man marry one, therefore,
"equal to either fortune" who can adorn
his richen or brighten his poverty, and who
under all circumstances will be truly his
hel2mate.

Enemies OF the Oyster.

The enemies of the oyster are many
and all of them 90 about seeking what oys
ters they may devour First comes the sea
crab who seats himself on an oyster and
drills little round hole in his back and
makes poor oysters back ache, which eau
ses him to open his mouth to take long
breath, when the villainous crab runs a
"stinger" down his throat, and poor oyster
is in the sea crabs stomach. Sometimes
the crab files the oysters nose OFT, so as 10
run in his singer.
Second comes the m-fsh, who weighs
about thirty or forty pounds, and Is about
two feet long he is large about the stom-
ach, and tapers off towards both ends, He
is by no means modest fish, for just as
soon as his eye rests on an oyster he starts
toward him, for the purpose of making his
acquaintance, and grabbing . him in his
mouth, smasbes him into chowder, sin the
twinkling of cats tail, and i'm Inedately
looks about for bis nearest relative-being
opposedto having families separated he is
anxious to have them all rest in his stom-
ach at once. It is often the case that two
or three pounds of oyster shells are found
in drum-fsh stomach
Third comes the sea star-evcrybody
knows what sea-star is, for they look just
like star. These stars have five points,
but no legs and as they do not keep hor-
ses and wagons, they find il very inconven-
lent to 60 foot-not having any ieet-so
when they wish 10 travel, they lock them
selves fast to each other until they form
large hill sometimes ten feet in cIrcumfer
ence, and permit themselves TO be driven
about by the waves of the sea, and roll a
way, they know not nor care not whittier:
but if they h-ppen to roll over an oyster
bed tney all Immediately let loose of each
other, and hug an oyster and wrap their
five points about him, and hug him closely,
hug him dearly, until the oyster desires
him to Stop and just opens his mouth to
say "hold enough" when the rascally stay
runs little "nipper" down poor oysters
nose, and he is 'goner.'
Fourth comes men. with dredging irons,
with scoop, shovels and tongs, pulling him
and making him into oyster soup, pie, fry,
roast, and so on and so forth, eating him
whole and indiscriminaely, body and soul,
without saving the pieces. Thus it is with
poor oyster troubles beset MIN on every side,
and though thousands desire to have him,
vet none wish to be him.-.N'orthsrn Jom

recess, little fellow came up and spoke 10
the teacher; as he turned to 90 down the
platform, the master said That is boy

dence and respect Of the whole community.
Iwonder if the boys know how soon
they are rated by other people. Every
boy in the neighborhood is known. and O.
pinions are formed of him; he has char
acter, either favorable or unfavorable. A
boy of whom the master can say, 81 can

want employment. The fidelity, prompt
ness and industry which he shows at school
are IN demand everywhere, and are prized
everywhere. He who is faithful in little
will be faithful also in much. BE sure
boys, that you earn good reputation a.
school. Remember, you are just where God
