TIE LOST HAND.

A paper printed at Elizabethtown, New
jersey, gave an account last fall of q priey-
ous misfortune to a young girl 13 years old
named Meta Taylor. She was running to
cross the railroad track, when she stumbled
and fell. just at that moment the cars of
the New Brunswick road came up, and the
locomotive cut off her left hand which Law
over the rail. In the confusion of the mo-
ment, the hand was not picked up; and f.
nally, when it was looked for, it could not
be found. 1t was feared some animal had
carried it off, and this thought was very
distressing to the mother of the girl, as well
as to Meta herself. Last week the lost hand
was recovered as follows A young man
from Elizabethtown happened to call on a
friend of his at a boarding house in Eighth
street, New York. On the shelfin the room
he saw glass jar with pretty little hand
suspended in it, preserved in spirits. 1t had
ring on the third finger and was in
every respect lady like looking hand. He
thought at once of the lost hand in Eliza.

was the one. On asking his friend whose
hand it was, he was told that it came from,
the Medical College, as his room-mate was
a medical student. The young man thought
no more of the matter until he got home,
when he mentioned what he had SEEM
His sister told him that Meta Taylor's lost
hand had ring on the third finger, which
she described. This ring was exactly like
that on the hand in the jar. The sequel
may be tcld in a few words. Meta Taylor
came over to New York along with he,
mother and the young man above alluded
to. Proceeding at once to the house in
Eighth street, she recognized the preserved
hand in the jar as her long lost member

Ar the close of sultry day in golden Au-
: gust, a carriage might have been seen slow
ly vending its way over rough and dreary
road, that led through deep rayines, and
wild mountain passes, up to the city of NJ.
---. The vehicle contained Lord Manyille
and lady, their daughter Eleanor and her
accepted future husband, Sir Charles Delton.
IA shadow Of anxiety rested on each coun-
tenance, for the shades of night were fast
falling, and the darkness of evening was deep
ened by thick, angry clouds that shaded the
still mountain path, threatening to shower
their contents upon the travellers. Sudden

render the darkness more instense after its
departure.

AT this moment peal of thunder that
seemed TO rend the very mountains rolled

predecessors for moment lighted up the
dreary pathway. What was the consterna-

A GREAT TRAVELLERS EXPERIENCE OF
WoMAN.-Ihave observed among all nations,
that the women ornament themselves more
than the mcnsthat wherever found, they arc
the same kind, civil, obliging, humane, ten
der beings that they are ever inclined
to be gay and cheerful, timorous and
modest. They do not hesitate, like men, to
perform hospitable or generous action not
naughty, nor arrogant, nor supercilious, but
full of courtesy, and fond ofsociety; indus
trious, economical, ingenious more liable, in
general, to err than man, but in general also
more virtuous, and performing more good
actions than he. never addressed myselfin

Laziness is great evil The truth is
clearly eyinced by the conduct of two many
of our species. Idleness is bad enough Off
self in all conscience, but when men are not
satisfied with idling away their own time,
and are found annoying their friends and ac-
quaintances by frequent and lengthy visits
to their places of business, it is intolerable.-
Young men, you who are just starting out
you as it has been truly said of some; "He
has no energy" If you are out of employ
ment, seek for it again; and if you do not
succeed, still keep trying, and, our word for
it, you will not fail to prosper. At any rate,
do not very the patience of your friends by
sitting about their counting houses and
shops, yawning and wishing for that which is
impossible. Depend upon it, a life of in
dustry is the most cheerful and enviable sit
uation in which you can be placed.

CoME WHEN THE BIRDS SINo.-Prof. Cald-
well, of Dickenson College, short time be-
fore his death, said to his wife: "You will
not, l am sure, lie down upon your bed
and weep when am gone. And when You
visit the spot where lie, dono choose a sad
mournful time; do not go in the shades of
evening or in the dark Of night These are
no times to visit the grave of one who hopes
and trusts in risen Redeemer Come, dear
wife, in the bright sunshine, and when the
birds are singing p What beautiful illus
tration these words contain! Come in the
morning Of sunshine, when the notes of the
harmless. birds are heard; come not in the
dark shades of evening, when the mournful
notes of frogs and the troubled Whippoor

The WrFE.-It is not unfrequent that a
wife has to mourn over the alienated affcc-
tons of her husband, because she has made
no effort herself to strengthen and increase
his attachment She thinks because he once
loved her he ought alrsays TO love.her sand
she neglects those attentions which engaged
his heart Many a wife is thus the cause, of
her own neglect and sorrow. The woman
deserves not a husbands love who will not
greet him with smiles when he returns home
from the iabors of the day; whoswii1 not try
to chain him to his home by the sweet en-
chantmentsof cheerful heart. There is not

NEVER DO TOO MUCH AT T1ME.--Sir
Edward Bulwer Lytton, in a lecture, lately.
in England, gave the following history of his
literary habits:
Many persons seeing me so much engag-
ed in active life,and as much about the world
as if had never been student, have said to
me, "when do YOU, get the time to write all
your books' How on earth do YOU con-
trive to do so much work 7" ] shall surprise
you by the answer make The answer is
this: u contrivc to do so much, by never
doing too much at time" 4 man, to get
through work well must not overwork him
self-or, if he do too much to day, reaction
of fatigue will come, and he will obliged to
do too little tomorrow. Now, since | be-
gun really and earnestly to study, which
was not till had left college and was actu-
ally in the world, may, perhaps, say, that
L have gone through as large a course of
general reading as most men of my time. |
have travelled much-I have mixed much
in politics and in the various business ofIfe
and, in addition to all this, have published
somewhere about sixty volumes, some upon
subjects requiring much special research.
And what time do you think, as general
rule, have devoted to study--to reading
and writing? Not more than three hours q
day; and, when Parliament is sitting, not
always that. But then, during those hours
L have given my whole attention to what
was about. ...

Reflectiona

To accomplish much in tho way that ne
has chosen, man must be willing to be re-
preached with accomplishing little in other
ways During his life, people may complain
of his omission; but after he is dead, they
will praise what he has done. 'a5''
Men begin life hoping to do better than
their predecessors, and end it rejoicing If
they have done as well.
Reason asks can prayer Influence God,
who alone knows what is right, and never
deviates from it2 But it Is certain that
God sees only one right way of acting2 ,
Diversity Of language springs from diff
Guilty OF intercourse and languages become
blended as intercourse becomes easy.
To compare living men with dead ones, is
like comparing fresh fruit with dry.
Men slowly learn how little they can do.
and how careful they must be of their facul-
ties and opportunities in order to do that
little r.
The world may be making progress, but
the progress which principally concerns
each one is that which fits him to exchange
this world for better one.
There are many good things in this
world, but it is often difficult to get them,
and easy to lose them and dangerous to use
them.
Excepting virtue and vice, the points of
difference between men are trifing compar-
ed with the points of resemblance.
A man sometimes retains bis youth by do
ing little to make his manhood noticed.
