The ESiGoRsa oC Age.

A good woman never grows Old. ears
may pass over her head but if virtue and
benevolence dwell in her heart, she is as
cheerful as when the spring of life first
opened to her view.
When we look upon good woman, we
never. think of her age: she looka as
charming as when the roses of youth first
bloomed upon her cheek. That rose has
not faded yet; it will never fade. In her
she is the friend and beEe-
factor. Who does not love the woman
who has passed her days in acts of kind
ness and mercy. We repeat such wo-
man cannot grow old. She will always
be fresh and buoyant in spirit, and active
in humble deeds Of mercy and benevoience.
If the young lady desires to retain the
bloom and beauty of youth, let her not
yield to the sway of fashion and folly let
her love truth and virtue, and to the close
of life she will retain those feelings which
now makes life garden of sweets ever
fresh and ever new.

& T'Dsso for Reading.

Sir John Herschcl has declared that if
he were to ask for taste which should
stand him instead under every variety of
circumstances, and be source of happi-
ness and cheerfulness to him through life,
and q shield against its ills, however
things might go amiss, and the world
frown upon him, cit would be a taste for
good and useful reading. Give a man.
he affirms, this taste, and the means of
gratifying it, and you cannot fail of max
ing him good and happy; for you bring
him in, contact with the best society in all
ages, with the tenderest, the bravest, and
the purest men who have adorned human
ity, making him denizen Of all nations,
a contemporary of all times, and giving
him practical proof that the world has
been created for him, for his solace, and
for his enjoyment. .s.

Miscellaneous.
EIssiiiag n Faper.

Itis a somewhat curious fact, says the
Philadelphia Bulletin, that q vast number
Of men, who are utterly incapable of
managing their own business or any other,
still think that they perfectly understand
that of an editor, and regard themselves
as under q special mission to give the
latter the benefit of their views on all
occasions. 1t is singular, but there are
very many who really seem to sincerely
believe that writing comes ny nature
that the editor is without this endowment,
and that they ought in christian charity
to help him out. Coald some of these
seIf-elected ccnsors be put into harness
for Il while, and realize what it means to
be a mental engine under a perpetual
press of intellectual steam they would
probably change their views Of She ease
with which tiey would knock of little
article.
People who think that editing paper
is plcasantcr diversion than digging
cellars by moonlight, OF Juggling bricks UP
Il four story building in hot July's sun,
may profit by the following sensible re
mark from the editor of the Bedford (Nt.)
Gazette:
1t is not so easy task to write for a
newspaper as people suppose. A man
may be good scholar, profound think
er, vigilant observer of passing events,
without being able to write for a newspa-
per. The power of writing leading arti-
Gle for a newspaper is tact which few
possess, and which we have known many
with all their learning and, diligence, una
bic to acquire. ltrequires large amount
of information on various subjects and Il
readiness of application that mast never
be at fault, or the writer viii fail. For,
remember, the editor is always writing
against time, and the ineXorable printer
must have his copy, and that there is no
time to revise and amend; but Us slip after
slip is written, the devil" sllatches it
away, and one-half is usually set up in
print before the other half is written.
This extracts decision of thought and a
facility Of writing, which, like poetry,
seems rather a gift Of nature than al ac-
quired facility.

A happier illustration Of the wonderful
character Of the Bible, and the facility
with which even child may answer the
greatest OF questions, and solve t!!e subli-
NEST Of mysteries vas perhaps never given
than at an examination Of deaf and
dumb institution some years ago in Lon
don.
a little boy was asked, in writing who
made the world
He took the chalk and wrote underneath
the words
"In the beginning, God created the
Heavens and the earth"
The clergyman then inquired in sim
liar manner
"Why did Jesus Christ come into the
world
a smile of gratitude rested on the coun-
tenance Of the little fellow, as he wrote
"This is true saying. worthy Of all
acceptation, that Jesus Christ came into
the world to save sinners"
A third was then proposed, evidently
adapted to call the most powerful feelings
into exercise.
"Why were you born deaf and dumb,
when ! can hear and speak?''
"Never," says an eye witness, shall l
forget the look of resignation which sat
upon his countenance, as he again took
the chalk and wrote
"Even so, Father, for it seemed good
