moval. confess, after the excitement, was
over, that began 10 grow quite serious over
my forenoon's labor. ] sat down to res.
myself, and the very solemnily Of the will
derness produced q sober train of thought.
A southwest breeze sprang up, loaded with
the dying breath of fall flowers. 1t was
blowing down the leaves around me, and
pilng them up in gorgeous drifts. Like an
undertaken around the remains Of the dead,
ii was quietly tearing down the drapery, and
preparing the year for its burial. A haze
overspread every thing, and the distance was
mellow, the objects indis,inct, and the
whole landscape seemed swimming, as we
sometimes see it in dream. The trees
were covered with haze, and canoe on its
way down appeared to be hung up in the
air; the birds were hazy and looking abou,
me appeared to be sitting in great ten,
Of haze. The squirrels were Gathering
through the trees, and thowing down the
nuts; the psrtrdges were drumming; the
rabbits rushing through the dry leaves the
waterfowl hurrying through the air; and the
crickets, those melancholy musicians, were
piping low, dirge-like strain to the golden
hours of autumn as they passed away

FRIENDSHIP.

FRIENDSHIP.
Two youths whose friendship equalled
that Of Daman and Pythias s,rolIcd one
bright spring day, arm and arm through q
forest.
"Let u.s." said one to the other, "seek
here picture Of our friendship
Man delights to find in nature represen-
tations of his inner life.
''See the ivy there" said Dsmon, GLOW
ingly encIrcling the young oak. The tree
in its splendor and youthful yigor, erect, like
the God Of Wine, crowned with a wreath
of ivy. The tender ivy embraces it as if
striving to be one with its PROTECTOR
Without the oak it would lie in the dust"
The youths, gazing at each other, said
beautiful is the picture, and sweelly the
fresh ivy adorns the branches of the earnest
oak. Thus the strong ennoblng themselves
through love, raise up and support the gen.
lie and weak. Lovely and pleasing union!
But picture of our friendship it is not.
See there upon the hill the vine dresser
binds the vine to the elm! A discreet uni
on Strength supporting grace and beauty.
TO yield man the most delightful of fruits
Thus ye fill our gobleis with pleasure
Thankfully We bless your useful union
But is it not union Instituted by human
hands s? said The youthful friends: Gain is
its sim. Might not the vine laden with
grapes easily rend the branches Of The sup
porting tree! and its broad leaves destroy
the leaves Of the elm? Beautiful picture
human strength, in municipal union, from
which much thsi is useful flows. But pic
iure of friendship it is not
There is nothing in heaven or on earth
tina. resembles friendships holy union OF
souls !-exclaimed the youths. They stood
beneath the ming led shade of two young
oaks. And contemplating the straight and
vigorous trees, they said how magnifcen,
their growth. Their roots are firmly en-
twined. Their lof.iest branches in equal
height aspire TO the heavens. Thus aspir-
ing to the heavens they united withstand
the storm-shouId j. overpower them still
united, they can but fall. is this a picture
Of our friendship? enquired The youths
In place of an answer they fell into each
others arms-lhere beneath the shade o
the manly oaks.

it grew up to die. Almost agonised, the
mother begged 10 be carried into the room
Of her darling to give it one last embrace.
Both parents succeeded in reaching the a.
pertinent jus, as it was thought The baby had
bresthed its last. The mother wep. aloud
when once more the little creature opened
its eyes, looked lovingly up in her face, smil-
ed, moved lis lips, and in fain. voice said,
"God will take care Of baby" Sweet con-
soling words, they hardly ceased when the
infant spirit was in heaven.-Pee Dee

LoT's WIFE AND THE PILLAR OF SALT.
A French savant, M. de Ssulcy gives the
following Interpretation of the sacred nara
tive Of Lots wife having turned into a pill
lar of salt: There s,lI remains on the
burnt cities compact mass of rock salt, the
height of which varies but never exceeds
100 yards. AT the submit, the salt is COW
cred over by stratum of clay of dirty
white hue. The whole of the hill side pre-
senls numerous assures followed by the
winter torrents, and the constant crumbling
of the coil. AT many points appear vast py-
randall columns of salt, one Of which has
no doubt been taken by Captain Lynch for
the famous pillar into which Lois wife was
transformed. All The disconnected masses,
and those which still adhere 10 the noun
tain, have their surfaces deeply furrowed
and indented by the rains. And lastly,
wherever the rock leans over, its lower part
is hung with slaactites of salt. There is
little doubt that Sodom and Gomorrah were
destroyed by volcanic eruption of the
mountain. Al the moment when the huge
mountain was heaved up Mechanically, there
must have been throughout its whole exten.
tremendous falls of detached masses, SINH
lar 10 those we have observed at every step.
Lots wife having loilered behind, either
through fright or curiosity, was most like
ly crushed by one of these descending frag-
ments, and when Lo. and his children turn
ed round to look towards the place where
she had stopped, they saw nothing but the
salt rock which covered her body. The
catastrophe may be explained in many ways;
bu. having visited the spot, hold to the O.
pinion have now advanced, without seek
ing, however, TO impose j. on Others"

P o E T r Y.
WISHING.

BY JOHN G. SAKE.
OF all amusement for the mind,
From logic down to fishing.
There isn't one that you can find
So very cheap as "Wishing!'
A very choice diversion, too,
five but rightly use it,
And not, as we are apt to do,
Pervert it and abuse it.
l wish-a common wish indeed
My purse was something fatter.
That ! might cheer the child of need,
And not my pride to flatter;
That might make oppression reel,
AS only gold can make it,
And break the tyrant's rod of steel,
AS only gold can break it !!
w,sh-that Sympathy and Love,
And every human passion
That has its origin above,
Would come, and keep in fashion;
That Scorn, and Jealousy, and Hate,
And every base emotion,
Were buried fifty fathoms deep
Beneath the waves of ocean!
l wish-that friends were always true,
And motives always pure
wish the good were not so few,
| wish the bad were fewer;
wish that parsons ne FER forgot
To heed their pious teaching
wish that practising was not
So different from preaching!
/ wish-that modest worth might be
Appraised with truth and candor;
/ wish that innocence were free
From treachery and SANDER;
/ wish that men their vows would mind
That women ne 'er were rovers;
! wish that wives were always kind,
And husbands always lovers!
l wish-in fne-that joy and mirth,
And every good Ideal,
May come, erewhile, throughout the earth
To be the glorious Real,
Till God shall every creature bless
With his supremest blessing,
And hope be lost in happiness,
And wishing be possessing.

ELEVEN HAPPY DAYS IN A LIFE-TIME.-
"Were offered the CHOICE" said Byron,
"ei,her to live my life over again, or to live
as many years more onward, ! should GER
,ainly prefer the first; yet my young days
have been vastly more unhappy than be-
lieve those of other men commonly are.
once attempted 10 enumerate the days
had lived which might, according to the
common use Of language, be called happy;
could never make them amount TO more
than eleven; and believe have very dis

time and the day of my death, shall be

A MELANCHOLY SIGHT.-Dr. Reid, q
traveller through the highlands Of Peru, is
said to have found lately in the desert Of
Alacosma the dried remains of an assem-
b.age Of human beings, five or six hundred
in number, men, women, and children, seat
ed in semicircIe as when alive, staring into
the burning waste before them. They had
no, been buried; life had no. departed before
they thus sat around, but hope was gone:
the Spanish invaders were a. hand, and no
escape being left, they had come hilher to
die. They still sat immovable in the dresry
desert; dried like mummies by the effect of
the hot air, they still kept their posiion, sit
ting up as in solemn council, while over that
Aeropsgus silence broods everlastingly.

LIFE OF THE WEST POINT CADET.-He
sleeps in the barracks, in a room with one
other; al five in the morning in summer, end
al haIf-past five in the winter, the reveille
awakens him 1; he Immediately arises doub-
les up his blankets and ma,trass, and places
them on the head Of his iron bedstead; he
studies until seven o'clock al tina, hour
the drum beats for breakfast, and the cadets
fall into rank and proceed to the mess hall.
Twenty minutes is the usual time spent al
breakfast Guard mounting takes place a..
hslE-past seven, and twenty -four are placed
on guard every day. A! eight o'clock the
bugle sounds, and the recilstions commence.
At one O'Clock The bugle again sounds, the
professors dismiss their respective stations,
the cadets form ranks opposite the barracks
and march TO dinner. Between eleven and
