ECHOES.


Hark through natures vast cathedral,
Blended echoes ever rise,
Swelling in mighty anthem
To its over -arching skies.
Every bird that sings in summer,
Every honey laden bee,
Every squirrel in the forest, -.
Every cricket on the tree; s.
Every music-dropping fountain,
Every softly murmuring rill,
Every dark and foaming torrent,
Every water-guided mill
Every rain-drop on the house top,
Every beetles noisy drone.
Every football on the pavement,
Wakes an echo of its own
Sobs of woe and songs of gladness,
Each responsive echoes find .--,
Words of love and words of anger,
Leave their echoes far behind.

Sleep and Death.

The Angles of Sleep and Death, locked arm
in arm, wandered over the earth. 1t was even
ing. They laid themselves down upon lofty
hill that overlooked the habitations of men.
A mournful stiffness reigned around, broken
only by the evening bells, whose sound came
family from the distant hamlet.
Silent and speechless as is their wont, these
beneficent guardian angels of mankind, lay in
close embrace, till nights dark mantle fell
around them. Then the Angel of Sleep rose
from his mossy couch, and scattered with
noiseless hand the invisible seed of Slumber.
The evening wind carried them to the silent
dwellings of the weary husbandman- Soon
sweet sleep embodied in its gentle embrace the
haired sire, whose tottering steps a staff sup
ports, to the infant in its cradle. The sick
forgot his pains, the mourner his sorrows, the
poor his cares.
All eyes were closed. His task being finish
ed, this benevolent Angel again lay down by
his sterner brothers side.
ssWhen morning breaks" cried he, with
happy innocence, call the world viii bless me
as their friend and benefactor Oh, what joy,
thus to do good in secret and unseen. How
happy are we, invisible messengers of the
good spirit! How beautiful is our quiet Of
flee 20
Thus spake the Angel of Slumber.
The Angel of Death gazed upon him in 81
lent sadness, while tears, such as immortas
| weep, stood in his large dark eyes.
aAh.,' said he, sswould that I. like you,
! could rejoice m cheerful thanks but the world
calls me its foe and joy-destroyer."
ssOhl nay hrother,'' answered the Angel of
| Slumber; sswill not every good man, upon
awakening, recognize in thee his friend, and
/ gratefully bless theea Are we not brothers
and children of one father?'' ie f7z
Sohe spake. The fearful eyes Of the Angel
| of Death shone with a gleam of pleasure,
while he pressed his gentler brother more ten
| derly to his heart .-Hor Journal -i.il;s ie

PASSING AwAY.-We can read these solemn
words upon our very nature. The ruthless
hand of time is constantly heaping upon our
heads the weight Of years. that, like an incu-
busawiH continue to press US down, until at
last our feeble frames will totter and SILK into
the grave. 1t is, indeed, but a ssstep between
the cradle and the grave.'' Scarcely have we
passed from the mother where were nursed
and protected, until we again must lean upon
the arms Of a dutiful child, and trust to his
kindness to support our feeble limbs. How
soon do we find our eyes growing old and the
world gradually receding, as it were, into a
mist, Our checks become furrowed : our
limbs become weak and palsied: our heads are
silvered as if blossoming for the grave. Our
feeble frames are racked with pain. and s.na-
-ture's sweet restorer'' comes not to the eyes,
as if kindly warning us TO watch for-we know
not what hour in the night the messenger may
summon us hence. Like the pearly dew-drop
before the SUMS ray-like the rose of summer
before the autumn blast-iiSe the moon beam
on the dark blue sea, sswe are passing away

r CosvERsATIoN.-Any body can talk who has
the usual organs of speeeh-bui to converse is
a very different thing, and to converse well
very high and rare, are,accomplishment. sConver-
sation, as one may see by the etymology of
the word, ,7supposes at least two parts to the
discourse, and requires a listener as well as a
talker. johnson and Parr have. argued ;1Col-

Curran sparSled with wit and fancy; Burke con-
versed like a gentleman, and was at once bril-
liant and Profound good talker-a good lis

Shakespeare says Conversation should be
pleasant without scurrility, witty without az
fectaton, learned without pedantry novel with
out falsehood." Rochefoucault says dssThe
reason Why Why so few persons are agreeable, in
conversation is, that every one thinks more of
what he has to say, than of answering what is
said to him. % Burns must have been a charm

No doubt the laws of supply and demand
have been violated-too many saw mills
have been erected; let us build no more at

We should not eat up each other by do

That we shall have the boundless Pacific
