But the msleto clings to the oak, not In part hear
But with leaves closely round 1.-THE root in j
Exist but to twine it-imbibe the same dew,
Or fall with its loved oak, and perish there too
Thus let's love one another midst sorrows the wor
Unaltered and fond as we loved at first; SAX
Tho the false wing of pleasure may change and fo
And the bright urn of wealth into particles break
There are some sweet affections that gold cannot bu
That cling but still closer when sorrow draws nigh
And remain with us yet, tho all else pass away:
Thus let's love one another as long as we stay.
There is nothing in Paris which shows th
distinction between the aristocrat and the com
mon people SO much as their horses. Th
cart horses are immense, and almost univer
sally light iron grey-or more properl
speaking, white speckled with black, with fee
as large as dinner plates, and such profa
sion OF name and fetlock, and all buried unde
such ponderous harness as to excite great Gu
riosity.
The riding and driving horses Of the gentr,
are very graceful, with clean, delicate limbs
and arched necks; SO nicely groomed and bro
ken, especially for riding, as to make me wisi
we had such.
The fashionable color is cross between al
iron grey and brown-a most peculiar color
never saw the like before.
Another color is also much used for saddle
horses, which is between a cream and sorrel
near akin to dark salmon. The name and
tail are shade .or two darker than the body
and are very beautiful according to my fancy
You will see troops Of these handsome crea-
lures, backed by Frenchmen, in the fashiona-
Bile quarters, as gay as 50 many popplnlays.
There are many beautiful varieties Of the
heather, which ] see in the markets and stores.
wish these could be more cultivated in our
country We scarce find them except in our
green-h houses, and only few even there. The
Crystal palace is rapidly completing, andis a
magnificent building. hope America will be
well represented here.
A hundred thousand men were employed in
Egypt to construct pyramidal tomb for a
dead king; let us see that we are engaged in
q far nobler work in constructing temples for
the living God. In my humble judgment, the
poorest parish school in our land with no other
ornaments than the dew drops of the morning
to gid it, and the sun beams to shine upon it,
is nobler spectacle than the loftiest European
cathedral with its spires glistening in the set
ting and rising suns Of thousand years.
The builder builds for century; we for
eternity. The painter paints for generation;
we forever. The poet sings for an age, we
forever. The statuary cuts out the marble that
soon pershes; let us try to cut out the like
ness of Christ to endure forever and ever
The ashes of the commonest fire are melan-
choly things, for in them is an image of death
and ruin-of something that has been bright,
and is but dull, cold, dreary dust-with which
our nature forces us to sympathise. How much
more sad are the crumbled embers of a home;
the casting down Of that great altar where the /
worst among us sometimes perform the wor-
ship of the heart; and where tile best havef
offered up such sacrifices and done such deeds
Of herosm as, chronicled, would put the proud
ess temples Of old time, with all their vault

Joseph was a bad boy, some time, as to his
Imbibing propcnsities. One cold night Joseph
came in before the old lady had retired. He
sat down, and with look of semi-intoxicated
wisdom, began conversing about the goodness
of the crops and other matters. He got along
rery well until he esped what he supposed to
be a cigar on the mantelpiece; he caught it,
nd placing one end in his mouth, began very
kravely to light it at the candle. He drew
and pufed until he was getting red in the face.
The oldlady's eyes were opened, and she ad-
crossed him: IF thee takes that tenpenny
nail for cigar, it is time thee went to bed"
say, milkman, you give your cows too
much salt. Why-how 50? Ijudge from the
appearance of the milk you bring us lately.
You say that salt makes the cows dry, and
then they drink too much water, and that, no .
doubt, makes their milk thin. you know. Oh
yes-well, l shouldn't wonder if that was the
cause.
