cumstances! His very appearance creates shud-
der, for he is certain to say something harsh,
cold or uncivil, and thus to irritate feelings,
trample upon sensibilities, or stimulate preju-
dices and passions. He is miserable himself,
and, according to the old adage, misery loves
company. He moves about like troubled spirit,
and instead of smile, a cheering word and an
encouraging look, a frown, rebukc or grum-
BILE, are certain to characterize his progress
How much better the gentler, the milder, the
more generous policy How beautiful are cheer

circumstances In the one case the heart
shrinks back, the feelings revolt, and the sympa-
thics turn away; while in the other, the cheek
glows with pleasure, the fountains of emotion

inexorable. He supposed he should have to own
one falsehood he said, and they would willingly
have him shoulder two, but it was too much,
entirely too much and he could not endure it !;
he had told Henry that she was going to be
married within five weeks, and he should not
forfeit his word. Z" But perhaps" he added,
apparently recollecting himself, and turning to
Henry, perhaps we shall have to defer it after
all. for you have important business in the
country about that time"
"Be merciful, SIR" said Henry smiling, "
did not wish to witness the sacrifice Of my own
happiness"
"I am merciful sir, said the old gentleman,
I" and for that reason would not wish to put you
to the inconvenience of staying. You said you
would willingly oblige me, but you could not,
indeed, you could not. :"
You have once been young, sir, ? said Hen
~.
= know il, I know it," replied l.s, laughing
heartily, ,s"b but am afraid that TOO many Of us
old folks forget it-however, If you can post
Iono your journey, I suppose we must have a
wedding"
We have only to add that the friends Of
Henry were sent for, and the nuptials solemn
lied at the appointed time; and, that blessed
with the ilial love of Henry and Caroline, the
old people passed the remainder of their days
in peace and happiness.

EMBALMING. The mode Of procedure was as
follows: The operator first filled two vials with
his preparation, and gave them to police officer
who was present, to be sealed and subsequently,
analysed by competent chemist. If the least
trace of the prohibited article should be found,
the embalmer would be liable to severe punish
ment. He then, through the carotid artery,
and by means of a large syringe, furnished with
a detached stop-cock, injected about gallon of
reddish fluid, which have since learned had
probably chloride of zinc for its base. As the
vessels distended, this fluid permeated the capil-
laries, marking its passage by aborescent white
lines, until gradually considerable portion of
tn kin assumed clear pearly lustre, which I
was informed would after time bc the case
with the whole surface. The body then, after
being washed in Cologne water, having the nos
trils and ears stuffed with cotton dipped in some
extract of musky oder, the cheeks and lips paint
ed, the eye-balls fitted with glass fronts of the
natural shade, and the hands and feet clad in
silk gloves aud stockings, was surrounded with
four collins, the inner shell being lined with lead,
and the outer one having the appearance of
box containing goods. And so our poor friend
was sent to his mourning relatives.
Simple as is the process of embalming, it is
very costly. For that and the four collins, be-
isve the demand was two thousand francs. In
reply to some questions as to the efficacy Of his
process, the embalmer declared that he had
known bodies preserved by it perfectly during
five years, and he thought the time of its action
might be extended greatly beyond that limit

ally, wherever similar subjects came up for con.
versation. Ny servant, who was showing me
through the ruins of Pompeii, asked me, with
great interest, if believed that the Pope would
have run away from Rome at the time Of the
Revolution, if he was able to work miracles, as
his church claimed and when assured him
that did not believe in any such doctrine, he
expressed great contempt for the man who would
thus basely turn is back on his people, while
nevertheless he professed to have the power to
save himself and them!
One Of the most intelligent gentlemen whom
| met in Italy, of high standing, of large cor
respondence of men of science in, different parts
OF the world, known at home as, well % abrosa
tor his attainments and great abilities,and more
over a devout member of the Catholic commu-
nion, sought me. and laid before me, in frequent
and intimate interviews, the state of bis mind in
reference to the present condition and future
prospects of Italy. He said to ma, that it was
impossible for him to diaeose his feelings to big
most personal friends. Il dare trust no one
around me; no one dare trust me. II NAV be
that those with whom l am associated from day
to day have the same sentiments that have
long cherished but we have no confidence which
we can ropose in another. No man, knows but
he may be denounced to the authorities and
the slightest suspicion of want of attachment
to the "powers that be might involve us in
most serious difficulties. But it is my firm con-
vction, that there is no hope for Italy except in
the prevalence of the Protestant religion. AL
the foundations of society are out of place there
is scarcely such thing as virtue among men
and women the power of the priests is supreme
in all departments of life; and it is an undoubt-
ed fact, that if any attempt atrevolution should
be made, the priests would be the first victims
upon whom the wronged and oppressed people
would turn with vengeance"
When was about to leave the city, in which
| had had such intercourse with this gentleman
he embraced me with great affection, and decla'
red that it was impossible for him to express ths
emotions Of pleasure that I'll ed his mind in hav.
ing enjoyed for SO many days the communion of
one whom he might safely trust as friend. d"
know" said he, "yoa will not betray me you
have no motive for so doing; and have there
fore opened my heart to you with all confidence,
and have experienced such enjoyment as have
scarcely had for years-even in the bosom of my
own family"
How dark and deplorable must be the condi.
ton of people where despotism thus reign
over the lives and lips of msn-where friend il
unable to trust friend-where even the confidence
of social intercourse is unknown-and where
as in days the coming of which was predicted

VIM. Wft's letter 10 to his daughter on the
" small, sweet courteses of life, contains pas
sage from which deal Of happiness might be
learned +" I want to tell you secret. The way
to make yourself pleasing to others is to show
that you care for them. The whole world is
like the miller at Mansfield, who cared for mo-
body--no, not he-because nobody cared for
him. And the whole world will serve you SO
if you give them the same cause. Let every one
therefore, see that you do care for them, by
showing them what Sterne 50 happily calls, the
small, sweet courtesies in which there is no pa.
rade whose voice is to still, to ease, and which
manifest themselves by tender and afectonate
looks, and littls kind acts of attention, giving
others the preference in every little enjoyment
at the table, in the field, walking, sitting, Oh
standing"

THE BEAUTY OF CHEERFULNEss.

" Is 1t not worse than vain to close our eyes
Upon the sky and golden light,
Because the tempest.coud doth sometimes rise,
And glorious day must darken into night?"
1t is a sad thing to be peevish, fretful and dis.
contented. There are times and seasons when it
is almost impossible to rally remarkable flow
of spirits, even when there is apparently little
or no cadse for dependency. But these, with
the great majority of the human family, are, Or
should be, few and far between. There ore some
persons who are constantly making themselves
unhappy, and without reason. They see moth
ing but the dark side of life, and close their
eyes to the bright. They get up in the morning
out Of humor, not only with themselves, but
with oil mankind and wherever they appear or
in whatever circle they have power or influences
they chill, discourage and repulse. They per-
init themselves to indulge in idle jeaousies, fool
ish fears and vague apprehensions, and even if
prosperous for the present, they predict some
sad calamity in the future, and thus prove them
selves morbidly infrm, in fact, insensible to the
blessings of Providence. The effect is not only
to distress themselves, but to annoy and disquiet
others. They are in the moral world what q
passing cloud is in the physical. They cast
gloom over everything for the moment, and serve
to drive away the sunny influences which are so
admirably calculated to brighten tho pathway
of life. In what happy contrast is the CHEER
FUL sPIRIT-the individual whose heart is full Of
kindness and generosity, who is ever ready to
say good word, or to do benevolent act, and
whose daily life may be likened to constant
beam of sunshine He may be disturbed or de-
pressed for tho moment, but it will only be for
the moment. shadow may pass over his brow'
and silence may seal his lips, but his natural
buoyancy will soon acquire the ascendant, and
his joyous laugh and cheerful smile will soon. be
heard and seen again. If he cannot say anything
kindly OR complimentary, he has the good sense
and manly feeling to keep his peace If he can.

and its columns are filed at that. A recent ad-
vertiser paid that paper, for single insertion OF
a long advertisement, eight hundred and sixty

though whole solar system were here and there
now and then to be remodeled in respect of all
such arrangements as have been spoken of, it
could no be supposed to be very great event
IN the progress of the entire scheme, seeing that
astronomy has taught US to regard such systems
as no more than particles in the dust-cloud, or
grains Of sand on the sea-shore, 1t must, then.
in sober reasoning be admitted, that our mere
adherence of SO much destruction is no guild
ance to our judgment on this point and that
for anything we can see of the plans Of Provi-

4 Ths orhof.d day now ends his ferce career, sAA-
While gentle Luna and her nightly train 1A
OF stars appear.
From out the leafy foliage, dense and and green,
OF yonder forest where the bfeeses play,
Comes to our lst'nng ears, sweet and serene,
The wild bird'sla
Upon the bosom Of yon lakelet bright,
The boatman's dipping paddle echoes far,
While the calm waters mirror Luna's light
Reflect each star.
The toiler now retres from busy care
Finds time to note the Makers ways
Finds time to lift his heart in earnest prayer
And honest praise.
Sweet evening thou hast many charms to me!
Charms that are with the Makers love replete;
One boon ask-in death, 0, may, like thee,
