sPEAK OF 4 nan as you FIND HIM

By p G. BBE- ESQ
II Rurnor has scattered her statements "ntrae'
Belying some friend, never mind him;
Take Truth for Jour motto, whatever you do
And speak of man as you find him
OF those who have large fanits never utter loud
cries,
So step in the proper direction
Oft silence is welcome, aad oft times she's wise,
No woman man is perfection
IF Porerty's frowned on man wellto do
Wiah icy like mantle einbeund him,
Remember that fortune may deal thus @ith y0n.
So speak of the yea find him
There are who would point Ont the Wreethed in
scorn-
Religion they say bids them do 1t:
I'll warrant, if ever they pass through lifes morn
Ure,norsed that in even they II rue 1t.
Fo purveyors of SANDER who deem themselves
wise,
OF SNOWFALL in winter remind them,
Which being rolled onward increascth in size,
Bid tbem speak Of all men as they find them,
So, if Rumor scattereth his statements untrue,
or friend .undeserring, ne er mind it;
There are some who viii add to the tale beside you
So let it alone as you find it!

Those calm and rational ezhoTtations 10
stake it COOL and ssneyer cry for spilled
milk are all very good till they are needed.
They are extremely salutary before the fever
is kindled or the milk is spilled but in the
presence Of pain or in the advent of disaster,
to all those who are not gifted with fortitude
by nature. or have not been Disciplined in the
school of afliction, they are about as efectual
as whistliug in the teeth of nor 'wester.
Their utter Importance in a storm Of fpassion,
reminds me Of the directions given by good
New England Deacon TO his caloric son.
whenever you find your d-nder rising, >,
said he, 5s.be sure you say the LORDS PRAYER,
my son or the ALPHABET clean through; and
long before you get TO the end ont you'll be
IS cool IS a cucumber, or an iceberg. Prom
ise me faithfully my SON.
''Yes, izldy, prouise.''
OfUudged Johnathan TO school carrying
his bread and meat, with small bottle of mo-
lasses IN his jacket pocket, and his late firm
promise uppermost in his mind.
\ boy who bore him an old grudge met him
and after calling him the :Toung Deacon,
and many other scurriIous nicknames, caught
him of his guard and threw him to the ground,
tearing his jacket, and breaking his molosses
bottle.
Up jumped JohRathan, his eyes wolfsil, and
his lips white with rage. Bat sstlIere was an
oath in Heaven, : aud he did not forget it
So he proceeded to sw wlilow his alPhebsttc
pills-antfdote TO wrath not mentioned in the
.-Reginlen SalernetanRm,' . recognized by the
British College.
"a. B, C--you'ye tore my jacket--D, E, F

And with that, JoIinathan, whose passion
had been mounting alphabetically throughout
all his fathers description Of vowels and coz
sonants, caught the young scapc-grace, and
throwing him down, was proceeding to work
off each of the Deacon's twcnty-Six anti irasci-
bic pills in the shape of a dozen hearty fist
cuffs, had not the timely arrival ofa passenger
interrupted the maniPulations. So much for
