THE FUTURE.

"We judge of tho future by the tho past,
for it is faithful record of time yet to come
and, from its mirrocd depths, sre reflected the
hopes and destiny of frail mnrtals. Still we
turn from its truthful images, and look long
and eagerly upon the dim and misty vail OF
the future; and desire paints thereon pic
ture hued with the rich coloring of our own
wayward fancy, We see tho star of hope
cleaning brightly on onr pathway, and the
sunny sky of the future is undmned by the
clouds of adversity, or tho night of despair -
1t presents to our view scenes bright and beau
tful. teemng with tho azure tnts of the star
ppanglcd heavens, and tho radiant beauty OF
the sunset hour. In tho great solar system of
happiness, each planet moves in perfect har-
mony, and We are charmed with the music of
revolving spheres.
Has the hope-lght deserted from thee, and
seems thy existaDce, a cheerless, starloss, ray
less gloom, with no motive to perform your
duty in the great drama of life-look forward
in truthful confidence to that sunny day in fu-
ture, when Earthly sorrow shall forever cease,
and we shall enter into the joys of eternal hap
piness, and walk W ith unceasng delight, thro'
the fowcr-strown paths of heaven.

by ID. y. TAYLOR.
When the bounding beat of the heart of love. rs
And the springng step grow slow; ~, +at
When the form Of a cloud in the blue above
Lies dark ON the patio below;
The song that he sings is lost in sigh,
Aud he turns where star is dawning, A II
And he thinks, it gladdens his heart and his eye
at will all be right in tho morningl"
When ''the strong man armed" in the middle watcl
From life's dim deck is gazing, a. ,
And strives through the wreck OF the tempest to catci
A CLEAN Of the day-beam's blazing;
Amid the wild storm, there hard by the helm,
He heeds not the dark ocean yawning;
For this song in his soul not sorrow can whelm;
1T will all be right in the morning!'
When the battle is done, the harp unstrung,
Its music trombling-dying;
When his woes nre unwept and his deeds unsung,
And he longs in the grave to be lying;
Then voice shall charm, as ii charmed before
lie had wept or walled tie dawning;
They do love there for aye-I be thine AZ of yore
at win all be right in the ihorning"
Then all through the world, by ship and by shore;
Where the mother bends over
The cradle whose tenant has gone on before;
Where the eyes of the lover iclWe
Light the way TO the soul; what ever the word, e4
A welcome, wall, awarning,

lit will all be right in the mornlng"

For th
BE GRATEFUL.

Be grateful is stamped on all things animate
and inanimate. lfyou are not grateful with
what you have, you will not bo with what you
desire. The ungrateful, are the source,-not
only Of their own unhappiness, and misery;
but by their continual murmuring, they cast a
dark and gloomy shadow over those around
them. While the grateful spread wide the
sunbeams of joy and gladness wherever they
60. The grateful heart is indeed blessing, a
great and noble gift, although possessed by
few.
Stole indeed must be tho heart. that can
look over tho wide spread book of noture, and
SEQ nothing on its beautifully decked pages
that would call forth thoughts of thankfulness
to the great Author of such sublimity and
grandeur that would not feel that the mech.
anism of the universe is tho work Of q higher
and mightier architect than man.
What could we expect the vast structure oi
Earth to bo, if it came by chance as many pre-
tends fear the great machinery of nature
would stand still, and all the glorious perfec-
ton of Gods workma nship which we now bo-
hold, would be but dreary and barren waste.
And what could man bel One of Gods
most complicated and noble pieces of work
manship; with mird constituted with moral
and intellectual capacities.
In structure how wonderful and grand; each
part is adapted to every other, to perfect the
design of the great Lawgver. Whst intel-
gent being can Look and think over the great
and beautiful mereies of God ia his goodness,
and not arise from tho contemplation, with a
heart grateful and subdued.

SYMPATHY.

Sympathy heaven born name. The tele-
graphic language of angels. The true solace
to heal the broken heart, and calm the angry
surges of the souls deep sea of affliction.-
When the spirit voice of a beloved friend, oy-

then how sweet and angelic will sound those
soft, silvory tones as they reverberate over the
hearts chords, into Its deepest cells. And by
It's melodious and thrilling music, we are lulled

dreams we weave bright halo of mover ending
beauty around the heavenly messenger; and
in our bright imaginings picture her the guar
dian angel of our existance. And sometimes,
looking by eye of faith afar into the spirit
land, we SEQ The departed one, radiant with
glory and excellence, and clothed upon with
Immortality.
There is deep, rich, and glorious mystery
in the hearts holy sympathy, as it is poured in
copious showers to alleviate the burning suffe-
ring of a fellow being. In that hour tho souls
secret foundations will well over with the
wealth of love, healing the bruised heart, with

When blank, dreary, and withering sorrows

hearted sympathy. 1t is of more valuo to the
sorrowing ono, than viotoria's royal sceptre

EXCITING SCENE.

The Barry County ReUiev, published at Has
tings gives the following account of scene
which occurred in that village last week:
"Our village this morning was tho scene of
an excitement, heart-rending in the oxtreme:
We were starteled by tho shrieks Of female,
bare-headed in tho streets, and before her flee
ing, with a little boy in his arms, a mlddle-aged
man, with a loaded revolver in his right hand
in state of excitement amounting almost ID
to frenby. Our citizens Immediately sailed
forth and succeeded at length in bringing him
to halt, and drew from him the following
explanation of so strange a scene: From his
broken statements together with papers that
he had in his possession, it appeared that il
was an ilegiimate child and he the father and
she the mother. He stated that after two or
three lawsuits he had succeeded in getting
possession of the child, she at tho same time as
he alleged was living with tho noted Washing
ton Gay, who died in Detroit, under arrest for
burning tho Central Railroad Depot. Ii ap-
pears also that she by somc means had lately
obtained possession of the child and fled ho
knew not whittier, and diligent search traced
them to this village. and after lying in ambush
a day or so, found the child at play in tho
streets, seized him and started off as above.
After learning the above particulars, tho
father was permitted to tako the child and pro.
ceed on his way homeward. But such ascene
we hope it may never again be our lot 10 wit
nessl As the father drove off, the poor moth
er still stood pleading. as only mother can
plead for her child, and though her features
bore d impress of shame and disgrace, yet
