so mourning and complaining from day

constantly anxious lest what theys have
should escape cut Of their. hands. They
always look upon the dark side. and can
never enjoy the good. Religion makes
the heart cheerful, and when its large and
benevolent principles are exercised man
will be happy in spite Of himself The in
dustrious bee does not stop to complain
that there are SO many poisonous flowers

to stop there several days. The owners
Of the farm Gan old man and his old wife)
were very religious. On the arrival Of the
twain, the American said 10 his compan-

and you must behave yourself. or elsethey
will never receive me again. George

host and hostess addressed him and his
waggish companion, the latter put on airs
of the utmost sanctity and sobriety, and
exclaimed in long drawn shuttle and

rolling OF the eyes, 'The Lord be.praised!
The farmer and his vile entertained
their guests for several days. and all the
time whenever the said farmer and the
said wife were about, the said George in

for two days. the third he could stand j

A Good One.

They tell a good story OF Lorenzo Dow.
or a perambulating preacher Of his school.
to the effect, that riding once in stage
coach on his way TO an appointment, he
fell in company with some wild young
blades, who were led from his eccentric
appearance and manner to imagine that
he was proper subject for their jokes and
railery. He at once humored their de-
sign, by affecting Stiffness. and making
The most absurd and senseless remarks.
Upon arriving at the place where he was
to stop, they ascertained who their butt
was. and began TO apologize, observing
in extenuation Of their rudeness, that his
own conversation had misled them. Oh

No society is more profitable, because

man. God enshrined peculiar goodness
in the form Of woman.i that her beauty
might win. her gentle voice invite, and the
desire Of her favor persuade mems souls
to leave the path of sinful strife for the
ways Of pleasantness and peace. But
