.Resolved, That we herewith endorse the prn-

TRuTH.-There are a thousand things in
this world to afflct and sadJen-but, oh
how many there are beautiful and good !!
The world teens with beau,y-with objects
which gladden. the eye and warm the heart.
We might be happy if we would. There are
Ills WHICH we cannot escape. the approach
Of disease, Of death and of misfortune, the
sundering Of earthly ties, and the canker-
worm Of grief; but vast majority of the
evils that beset us might be avoided. The
curse of intemperance, interviewer as it is
with all the ligaments, is one that never
strikes but to destroy. There is not one
bright page upon the records of its progress
nothing to shield it from the heartiest ex-
ecration Of the human heart. 1t should not
exist. it ought not. DO away with all this
let wars come and end. and kindness work
the intercourse between man and man. We
are too selfish, as if the world was made for
us alone. How much happier would we be
were we to labor much more earnestly 10
promote each others good. God has bles-
sed US with home that is not dark there
/ is sunshine eeerywhers-in the sky, upon
the earth there would be in most hearts if
we would look around US. The storms die
away, and bright sun shines out. Summer
drops her tinged curtains upon the earth,
which are very beautiful, even when autumn
breathes her changing breath upon it, God
reigns in heaven. Murmur not al a Being
so bountiful, and We can live happier than
we do.

A Wan AxEcDoTE.-The Buffalo Com
mercial Advertiser gives the following ex-
tract from letter from an officer in the
Crimea:
A curious thing occurred yesterday. A
sapper was brought from the trenches with
his jaw broken, and the Doctor told me There
was a piece of it sticking out All inch and
a half from his face. The man said it was
done by round shot. which the Doctor
disbeIieved; but the poor fellow insisted
and said, X" Yes, i, took off the head of the
man next me-" This was conclusive. and
the surgeon proceeded to remove the bone ;
it came out quite easy, when the Doctor said
to the man. whose face appeared to preserve
its form pretty well,
''Can you move your jaw !"
"Oh. yes, SIR" was the reply.
The Doctor then put his finger into the
mans mouth, and found the teeth were
there. and at length assured the soldier tina,
it was no jaw Of his that wa broken bu,
that of his headless comrade, which had
actually been driven into his face, infiic;ine
a severe but not dangerous wound. Upon
this The mans visage, which had been rathel
heightened, rounded up most beautifully

GOLDEN SnoweRs.-The editor of the N.

ers. as follows:
We heard an avaricious fellow wishing.
this morning. that it would rain gold instead
of the balny, liquid blessing of the clouds.
God forbid the exchange. The heavens have
heen, since the Jay dawned. showering bet
ter than coined gold upon the parched earth.
From the vast ever OF his never falling
bounty, the Father of merces has been RAIN
ing butter and cheese, and fruit, and graln'
and flowers, that will. by and by. all over
the land, coin into the plenty that gives nouf-
ishiuent, and life, and Joy to millions. Such
is the gold that hes, fills the purse OF coun-
ty-gIinting in but'er-cnps and roses. down
in the valley meadows, and shimmerIng on
all the hill sides Out on these covetous
mortaIs who " ould have the heavens shed
mint.drops instead Of rains and dews. Let
such delve in the dirt and darkness OF the

THE GROWTH OF GOOD.

Far where the smooth Pacific swells,
Beneath an arch al blue,
Where skv and wave together meet,
A coral reehet grew.
No mortal eye espied il there,
Nor sea-hird poised on high;
Lonely it sprang. and lonely grew,
The nursing OF the sky.
With soft curessing touch, ,heswind
In sum mer round it played,
And mnrmuri"g through its tiny caves,
Unceasing music made.
The ministering wind, so sweet
With mountain perfume, brought
A chanoetul robe OF emerald moss,
BY larry fingers wrought.
Thus dav hv day, and wear by year.
The little isler grew;
Its toad, the hower-dust waited by
Its drink the crystal dew.
By night the lonely stars looked forth,
Each from his watch-tower high,
Aud smiled loving blessing down,
Gently aud sill ntly.
And forest birds from distant isles
A moment settled there
Add from their pumage shook the seeds,
Then sprang into the air.
The islet grew, and tender plants
Rose up amid the dearth-
Bloomed, died. and drnpped upon the soil,
Like gifts from heaven to earth.
Thus ages passed-a hundred trees
Grared that once hnrren strand;
A hundred ships It's produce bure
10 MANY distant la nd.
And thus in every human heart
A germ OF good rs sown,
Whose strIvings upward TO The light
Are seen by God alone.

FAT MEN.

There is something cordial about fat
man. Everybody likes him and he likes
everybody. Your lshmaites are in truth
IA bareboned race-a lank tribe they are,
skeleton and bile. Food does fat man
good it clings to hint fructiies on him;
he swells nohly out, and fills generous
space in life. He is living walking
minister of gratitude to the earth and the
fulncss thereof; an incarnate testimony
against the vanities of care-a radiant man
Hesitation of the wisdom of good humor.
A fat man, therefore, almost in virtue OF
being fat man, is per sc popular man,
and commonly he deserves his popularity:
In a crowded vehicle, the latest man VIII
ever he found the most ready to make room.
Indeed, he seems to be halt-sorry Tor his
size, lest it be in the way of others-but
others would not have him less than he Is,
for his humanity is usually commensurate
with his bulk. A fat man has abundance
Of rich juices; the hinges of his system
are well oiled-the springs of his being are
noiseless; and so he goes on his way re-
ioicing, in full contentment and piacidity.
A fat man feels his position solid in the
world he knows that his being is cogniZ-
able he k ows that he has a marked place
in the universe, and that he need take no
extra pains to advertise mankind that he is
among them; he knows that he is in no
danger of being overlooked. 1t does really
take deal of wrong to make one really
hate a fat man; and if we are not always
as cordial to thin man as we should be,
Christian charity should take into account
the force of rtjudice which we have to
overcome against his thinness. A fat man
is neares, to that most perfect of figures,
mathematical sphere; "A thin man to that
most limited of conceivable dimensions,
simple line. A ia, man is being of har-
monious volume, and holds relations to the
material universe in every direction; a thin
man has nothing but length; thin man,
in fact, is but the continuation of point.
