THE HAPPIEsr MAN.-Let a man have all the
world can give, he is still miserable, if he has a
grovelling, unettered, undevout mind. Let him
have his gardens, his fields. his lawns for grand
eur plenty, ornament and qualification; while at
the same time God is not at all in his thoughts.-
And let another have neither fields garden; let
him only look at nature with enlightened mind
"a mind whichcan see and adore the Creator in all
his works, can consider them as demonstrations Of
his power. his wisdom, his goodness and truth
this man is greater well happier in his power
tys than the other in his riches the one is little
higher than the beast, the other little lower than
an angel.-Jones.

ENGAGING MANNERs.-There are thousand
pretty engaging ways. which every person may
put on, without the risk of being deemed either af
fected or foppsh. The sweet smile the quiet cor
dial bow, the earnest movement in addressing a
friend or more especially stranger. whom one
may recommend to our good regards, the enquir-
ing glance, the graceful attention which is captiva
vatiug when united with self possession, these
will ensure us the good regards of even a churl =
Above all there is a certain softness of manner
which should be cultivated, and which, in either
man or woman, adds charm that almost entirely
compensates for lack of beauty. The voice may
be moduated SO to intonate, that it will speak d.
rectly to the heart and form that elicit an answer;
ard politeness may be made essential to our ma
ture. Neither is time thrown away in attending
to such things, insignificant as they may seem to
those who engage in weightier matters.

Drowned in the fume of poppies, while thy hook
Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers:

Steady thy laden head across brook;
Or by cider press, with patient look,
Thou watchest the fast oozing hours by hours
Where are the songs of SPRING. Aye, where are

Think not of tien-thou hast thy music too
While barred clouds bloom The soft dying day,

Among the river shadows, borne aloft

And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.

. WHAT IS PREJUDIcE.-Prejudice is the con-
trast OF judgment, since it anticipates reflection
1t has often been acknowledged that precipitation
of thought as well as of speech. entails very fatal
consequences; and that the man who through life
can wisely steer clear of this double inconven.
ience, deserves the urpellation of the happy
He thinks. and thinks again, before he lets his
tongue minge in the flow of conversation, and his
inmost self ere he ventures to decide. He has
also learned by experience, TINT Nature has IFS
mask, Science its obscurities, the World its artif
ces, and Merit its enemies; and, he consequently
never determines, without having first deeply
searched into the matter. He lifts the veil tha,
enfolds each object, and discovers that 1t would be
madness 70 judge too harsilly and at first sight.
What would the result he, if we trusted to our
eyes orly! Why, the sun would be pronounced
to turn round the earth, instead the latter encir
cling the orb of dsy.
The Prejudices of single mind can easily be
destroyed; but when they have been reduced into
regular systems, and their way into social circles
formed to aceredit them. there is no remedy.

The bare boushs are signing the pale flowers are dying
~ And the year
On the earth her deathbed in shroud of leaves dead
Is lying;
Come months, come away
From November to May,
In your saddest array;
Follow the bier
Of the dead cold year,
And like dim shadows watch by her sepuchre
The chill rain is filling, the nipt worm is crawling
The rivers are swelling, the thunder is knelling,
