Learn You Can.

Never omit an opportunity to learn
all you can. Sir Waller Scott said that
even in a stage coach he always found
who could learn him things
he never knew before. Conversution.is lis
more useful than books Tor
the purpose Of knowledge. 1t is there
fors a mistake to be morose or SILENT
whom you are among persons you think
ignorant, for little sociability on your
part will draw them out, and they will
be able 10 teach you something, no mat
ter how ordinary their employment. In
deed some of tho most saSacious remarks
are made by persons Of this description
respecting their particular pursuit.
Hugh Mllar, the famous Scotch gcol'
ogist, owes not a little Of his faNe to
observations, when he was stone.mason
and working in a quarry. Socrates
we'll SAID that there is but one good whlct
is knowledge, and one evil, which is ls
norancc.
A gold digger takes the smallest mug
ges,s, and is not fool enough to throw
them away, because he hopes to lind
larger lump some time. So in acqulr
ing knowledge, we should never despls
an opportunity however unpromlslng.--.
IL there is moments leisure, spend
over some good and instructive book o
in talking with the first person yo
meet.

The World to Come.

There is world we have not seen,
And Time can ne'er that world destroy:
Where mortal footstep hath not been,
Nor eur hath caught its sounds OF Joy.
There is c region loftier far
Than sages know, or poets sing;
Brighter than summers glOres are,
And softer than the tinls OF Spring.
There is a world, with blessings blest
Beyond what prophet ere toretold;
Nor might the tongue of angel guest
A picture Of that world unfold.
II is ALL HOLY and serene,
The land of glory and repose
Aud there, 10 dim the radiant scene,
The tear OF sorrow never flows.
II is not famed by summers gale:
'Tis not refreshed by vernal showers
II never needs the moonbeam pale
For there ore known no evening hours
Mono, that world is ever bright
With azure radiance all its own
The streams of uncreated light
Flow round from the Eternal Throne
There, forms which mortals may not see
TOO glorious for the eye TO trace
And clad in peerless majesty.
Move forward with unalteret grace.
In vain the phlosophic eye
NAV seek to view that fair abode,
Or find it in the curtained sky
IL is the dwelling place OF God!

CON uiction. True eloquence, indeed,
does not consist in speech. 1t cannot be
brought from a(ar. Labor and learning
may toll for it, but they will toll in vain.
Words and phrases may be marshall

pass it. 1t must exist in the man, in the
subject, and in the occasion. Affected
passion, intense expression. the pomp ol
dec lamation, all may aspire after it, but
cannot reach it. 1t comes--if it comes
at all--like the outbreaking Of ioun

Of volcanic fires, with spontaneous, orig

The graces taught in the schools, th'
costly ornaments, and studied contrl

There is scarcely anything in nature

the history Of the world is chiefly the
rise and progress Of the thous hts Of a

"GiYe Me Old Music"

"Give me old music" says some one,
who does not keep pace with the times,
who has heart.garner full Of poetry Of
auld lang syne-and hearty response
is given by every one whose heart is un.
cloyed by the senseless twangs Of the
present day-shameful innovations upon
time .hoaored melody.
"Give mo old music" exclaims the
aged matas0s she bends over the old
arm chair, "let me hear once more the
song of the olden time, e,"-and her eyes
filled TO the brim with sacred tears
blessed memories Of her youth, fitting
like stars before her vision, now dimmed
with the shades Of time.
"Gve me old music" exclams the
gray haired sire, as he rises from his
couch and totters through the hall, bles.
sed songs Of my childhood days, "let
fail upon my ears once more and III
feel young again,-and his eyes bent
lovingly upon a daughter OF sweet
sixteen, who has learned the music Other
fathers heart.
"Give mo old music," breathes the
poet, and he rises dreamily from his
manuscripts at the midnight hour, trem
bling TO sounds Of the souls true poetry
"oh for songs from mothers lips, te
arouse anew the passion in me"-and
tear drop fell from his weary eye, as HI
traces again the sparklings Of his sou
upon scnseless paper.
"Give me old music, "shouts the urch
: in of ten mother sing that old son
:, again"-and his heart bounds joyousl
- - as her voice is raised in ancient melody
r thrilling cherished song of her earl
- youth, when she too asked mother
! "give her old music" that always kin
y. died in love her ardent soul.
. "Give me old music" sighs the love
!, as he gazes fondly upon the bright for'
y of Ills devotion ; cit fills my heart wit
or oir holy estacy, soft as zephyrs stealing OF
w. w. roses, and his heart to deep melod

Acr1NG.-To act a passion properl

Acr1NG.-To act passion properly
we must never attempt it until the imag'
ination has conceived clearly and dis.
,inctly strong and vivid idea ol it, and
we feel its influence in our inmost soul
then the form or image Of that idea will
be impressed on the appropriate muscles
of the face, and communicate instantly
the same impressions to the muscles OF
the body which, whether braced or re-
laxed,-the idea being either active OF
passive-by impelling or retarding tht
flow of affection, will transmit their owl
sensation to the voice, and rightly dis
pose the proper gesture.

The Day of Life.

The morning hours OF cheerful light,
OF all the day are best
But, as they speed their hasty fight
lf every hour be spent Alright, y
We sweetly sink to sleep at night,
And pleasan. is our rest.
And Life is like summers day,
' 1t seems so quickly past:
. Youth is the morning fresh and gay,
And if tits spent in wisdoms way,
We meet old age without dlsmay,
And Death is sweet at last.

Grace was in her steps-heaven in her eye |;
IN every gesture dignity and love.
