3. No name should be given to a child that
will suggest a ludicrous idea when written in
full, or when the initial only is used We al
ways pitied Mr.. P. Cox, and Mr. T. Potts, both
worthy men, but with thoughtless godfathers.
Mddle-aged persons in Philadelphia can re-
collect druggist named Ash, (now deceased,)
whose friends had selected Caleb for his first
name who was constantly annoyed by inquiries
from school-boys and Others Of the rising gene
ration, as the residence of Mr.. Calahaah.
Forty or fifty years ago, very worthy little
French tailor, named Frogg, resided in Charles,
ton, 5. c., and on the birth of one of his sons
awag persuaded him that it would be yery
good thing for the child to call him after the
chief magistrate of the State-Governor Bull
which was done accordingly the unlucky COM

too late. ..t.... r...s
4 Females should have but one given name,
and when they marry should retain their maiden
name as middle name. This is the practice
among the Society of Friends, and were it gem
orally adopted it would have many advantages
We should know at once, on seeing lady's
name, whether she was married or single, and,
if the former, what the name of her family
was And it is further to be considered that
the adoption of this rule of but single first
name for girls, would put an end forever to the
whole brood of Emma Milvindas and Euphenia
Helen Lauras, and a style of nomenclature that
which is thought by most persons, to be ridicu-
lous in the extreme.

euBBRANp OF THE MOUNTAIN SIDE.


1--WE find the following in story-book for
children, recently published. 1t is evidently OF
German origin, and embodes such u capital les
son for husbands and wives, that we think we
shall do the American world service by start
ing it on round among the papers.-PhH, Sat,
Eue. Post)
There was once man named Gubdrand, who
had q farm, which lay on the side of noun
tain, whence he was called Gudbrand OF the
Mountain-side He and his wife lived In such
harmony together, and were 80 well Matched
that whatever the husband did, seemed to the
wife SO well done, that it could not be done bet
ter; let him therefore act as he might, she was
equally well pleased
They owned plot of ground, and had hum
dred dollars lying at the bottom OF chest ana
in the stall two fine COWS One day the woman
said to Gudbrand 1 think we might as well
drive one Of the cows to town, and sell it; we
should then have little pocket money, for such
respectable people as we are, ought to have
few shillings in hand as we'll as others. The
hundred dollars at the bottom OF the chest we
had better not touch but do not see why we
should keep more than one COW; besides, We
shall be somewhat the gamers for instead ol
two cows, shall have only one to milk ant
look after
These words Gudbrand thought both just and

THE WINTER OF THE HEART,

Let 1t never come upon you. Live so that the
good angels may lprotect you from this terrible
evil-the winter of the heart.
Let no freezing influences freeze up the foun-
tains Of sympathy and happiness in its depths ;
no cold burden settle over its withered hopes
like snow on the faded flower; no rude blasts OF
discomfort moan and shrek through its desolato
| chambers.
Your life-path may lead you amid trials which
for time seem utterly to impede your progress,
and shut out the light of heaven from your anx-
ious gaze.
Penury may take the place of ease and plen-
ty; your luxurious home may be exchanged for
q single, lowly room-the soft couch for straw
pallet-the rich viands, for the coarse food of
the poor. Summer friends may forsake you,
and the Implying world pass you by with scarce
ly look or word of compassion.
You may be forced to toll YEARLY, steadily
on, to earn livelihood; you may encounter
fraud and base avarice which would extort to the
last farthing, till you well nigh turn in disgust
from your fellow beings.
Death may sever the dearest ties that bind
you to earth, and leave you in fearful darkness.
That noble, manly boy, the sole hope of your
declining years, may be taken from you, while
your spirit clings to him with wild tenacity,
which even the shadow of the tomb cannot
wholly subdue.
But amid all the sorrows, do not come to the
conclusion that nobody was ever SO deeply af-
dicted as you are, and abandon every sweet an
ticipation of "better days. in the unknown flu
ture.
Do not lose your faith in human excellence,
because your confd nee has sometimes been be-
trayed, nor believe that friendship is only de-
fusion, and love bright phantom which melts
away from your grasp.
DO not think that you are fated to be misera
BILE because you are disappointed in your expec-
tations, and baffled in your pursuits Do not
declare that God has forsaken you, when your
way is hedged about with thorns, or repne sin
fully when he calls your dear ones to the land
beyond the grave. .-.--. &.
Keep holy trust in heaven, through every
trial, bear adversely with fortitude, and look up
ward in hours of temptation and suffering
When your locks are white, your eyes dim, and
limbs weary; when your steps falter on the
the verge of Deaths gloomy vale, still retain
the freshness and buoyancy of spirit, which will
shield yor from the winter of the heart.
