WOman's Laugh.

A woman has no natural grace more be-
witching than sweet laugh. tits like the
sound of flutes on the water. 1t leaps
from her heart in a clear, sparkling rill, and
the heart that hears it feels'as if bathed in
the cool, exhiIerating spring. Have you
ever pursued an unseen fugitive through
trees, led on by her fairy laugh, now here,
now there, now lost, now found? We
have. And we are pursuing that wander
ing voice to this day. Sometimes it comes
10 us in the midst of care, or sorrow, OF
irksome business; and then we turn away
and listen, and hear it ringing through the
room like silver bell, with power to scare
away the i'll spirits of the mind How
much We owe to that sweet taught /
turns the prose of our life into poetry, i
filings showers of sunshine over the dark
some wood in which we are travelling,
touches with light even our sleep, which
is no more the image Of death, butts con
sumed with dreams that are shadows o
4 immortality.

Curran's Ingenuity.

A farmerattending a fair with hun
dred pounds in his pocket, took the pre-
caution of dcpositing it in the hands Of the
landlord of the public house at which he
stopped. Having occasion for it shortly
afterwards, he resorted to mine host for
payment, but the landlord, too deep for the
countryman, wondered what he meant, ,and
was quite sure no such sum had ever been
lodged in his hands by the astonishcd rus
tic. After Intellectual appeals to the recol-
lection, and finally to the honor of Bar
dolph, the farmer applied to Curran for ad-
vice. - ... ..- ....fy
Have patience, my friend, said tile
counsel-'speak to the landlord civilly-
tell him you have left your money with al
other person. Take friend with you ani
lodge with him another hundred in the
presense of your friend and come to me.
He did so, and returned TO his lega
friend. ss. ..,.r r..s ,-... IN ~,
'And now l don't see how l am goin:
to be the better OFF for this, if Iget my
second hundred back again; but how i
that to be done?'
GO and ask him for it when he isalone,
said the counsel. s.rf -Fr
Aye, sir, asking won't do, I'm afraid
without my witness, at any rate
Never mind, take my advice said tt
counsel-'do as bid you,and return to me
The farmer returned with his hundred
glad 10 find that safely in possession.
Now, sir, i must be content, but l don
SEQ I'm much better off. ;..e.
e We'll, then, said the counsel, now TAX
your friend with you,and ask the landlor
for the hundred pounds your friend sa'
you leave with him. sst.. .t.f

found he had been taken off his guarc

TIVE TEMPTtTION.
HONESTY THE BEST POLICY.

William Garter arose from ftful and
uneasy sumber The nighlhad been cold
and windy. Such night as December
usually brings among the hills of New
Hampshire Williams bed was hard, and
the cold wind had found its way through
many crack and crevice in his ruinous
cottage; but he might have slept if his mind
had been at ease. His wife was delicate
woman; toll and exposure had brought on
lingering illness, and she lay all night
moaning with pain, and shivoring with
cold. William arose, and having klndled
a fire, went forth into the open air. The
clouds were black and heavy, and the wind
swept in gusts through the open trees
Away in the distance the tops of the hills
were already white with snow. He had
engaged days work on a neighboring'
farm; but it was useles to go-the farmer
would not work that day; so he turned a.
way with a heavy step, and entered his
dwelling. The children weie soon stir
ring, and the pale, suffering mother arose
from her couch to prepare the morning
meal. A few potatos We're boiled for the
father and children, and a cup of cruel
prepared for herself. .a
d William Carter and his wife had seen
better days; but sickness and misfortune,
the fraud of some, and cruelty Of others,
had driven them forth from their pleasant
home, which he had spent the strength o.
his manhood to purchase, and forced them
to take shelter in their present miserable
abode. s.t-ss.s
.Why can't you have some bread ant
butter?' said little James, a child six years
old, pushing away the potato which wa
offered him. I'VE used to have bread ant
pies, and don't want potatos all tho
time.' '
An expression of agony passed over th
fathers face. Bitter feelings were rush
ing through his heart-murmurings agains
Providence-repinings at his lot---unbelie
in God. ,H aMa
Il would bear everything but this mur
INJURED he.' Il can bear toll, humiliation
and want myself; but cannot see my chill
= dren pine for bread, and my wife shiver
ing in this miseroble hovel. If there is
God, why does he suffer the rich to op
press the poor, and the strong to crus
the weak? l sometimes feel like takin
justice into my own hands, and with m
own arm avenging my cause
But the storm was soon over. Softene
by the tender, hopeful words of his Athlete
wife, his bitterness of spirit passed ava.
His poverty and his wrongs were all fo
gotten in the memory OF his sinful angt
a and murmuring. The spirit of other day
returned-the divine triumphed over Il
human; and they bowed down before Co
with the loving confidence oflittle childre
casting all their cares on his mighty arr
and committing the future to His dire
ton.

TRUE VIRTUE.-When sat before me
true virtue, all the distinctions on which
men value themselves fadeaway. Wealth
is poor; worldly honor is mean; outward
forms are beggarlY elements? Condition,
country, church, all sink into unimpor-
tance. Before this simple greatness bow,
1 revere. The roben priest, the gorgeous
altar, the great assembly. the poaliDg or
gan, all tbe ex,eriors Of religion, vanish
from my sight as | look at the good and
great man, the holy, disinterestcd SOUL
Even I, with vision SO dim, with heart so
cold, can see and feeltne divinity, and
grandeur Of ture goodness. How, then;
must God regard it? To his pure eye
how lovely must it be! And can any Of
us turn from il, because some water has
not been dropped on It's forehead, or some
bread put in to its lips by minister OF
priest? or because it has not learned to re-
peat some mysterious creed, which q church
or human council has crdaipedg--v chaD-
