Interest.

INTEREST is like a blister of cantharides.-
1t sticks to you and draics. 1t is a t~ireless
worker. Day and night,in rain and sun
shine, it is ever at work. You cannot hear
its footsteps nor the flap of its wing, but it
travels side by side with Time. 1t eats up
all that a man has gathered, yet you cannot
see it's fang. Debt binds a man, hand and
foot, in fatal meshes, and interest, like an
ugly spider, devours him. There is but one
thing like interest, and that is the thistle.
New plants shoot up when you break the
root, put forth thousands Of blossoms, and
every blossom is the parent of a million o
seeds. Leaf and branch are spears anC
bayonets, and a field of them is like a hos
of armed men. The thistle is a prolific veg
etable curse. And yet, young farming friend
you had better made your bed of thistle
than to lie at ease upon interest. 1t wi
consume you like fire. Beware of the fatf
sir per cent. Upon that rock thousands hay
split.

An Incident in one of our Western
States.

States.
Among the first settlers of our western
wilds, two of the most respectable and In
telligent families of one of the eastern
States journeyed beyond the Mississippi to
take up their permanent abode in that land
flowing with mild and honey. Having over
come the difficulties and tolls Of a long and
wearisome journey, they at last arrived on
the banks of one Of the principal tributaries
Of that large and magnificent river Of the
west. This place of their destination was
one peculiarly favored by nature. The
warbling of BIRDS dimpling r~ivulets, delight
full valleys and towering mountains, and
above all the silent and majestic waters of
the Missouri, bathing the banks of this ia
vored spot with its limpid stream, all con-
spired to render this one of the l~oyeliest pla-
ces of the Universe.
When these honest and Industrious pion-
GERS had become settled in this place of al
most primeval loneliness and beauty, they
began to apply themselves to the duties and
cares of active-hfe. The families were small,
Lavinia, an only daughter, enlivened and
graced the circle of one. A kind and indul-
gent mother continually found new proofs
of obedience and affection in her lovely
daughter. The troubles and cares of the
secular life of the father were alleviated by
his daughters devotion. She was the pride
! of his heart, and the consider o. his lonely
hours. Lavinia was indeed a girl of rare anc
: admirable qualities; few had so many excel
lent traits combined, as did she. Uniting
: the loneliness of her disposition with the pu
rity of her conduct and her adherence to viz
t tue and piety she was calculated in an emf
{ nent degree to increase the happiness an
/ sweeten the life of those around her.
But, with all Lavinia' 81 xcellencies of char
acter. she had one fault which considerabl,
marred her happiness; she was too unconf
ding. She was too much inclined to doub
the true friendship and love of her most int
,r mate acquaintance. And her skepticism i
N the sincerity of her lover, whom we shal
presently notice, caused her a great deal c
unpleasant feeling. Marcellus, the only so
of the other family, was a young man
high promise, fondly beloved by his parent
to and esteemed by all who knew him. Ayout
as of noble and generous impulses, of high
toned morality, and of lofty aspirations, a
, these qualities were united with frmnes
> and courage. He had now just complete
10 his collegiate education, and had returne
or home from College with the laurels of victt
le ry and honor encircling his brow. Thel
I'll had always existed between MarceIlus an
t. Lavinia a strong attachment, which now b
ri gan to be developed into mutual love. b
"A Lavinia, as / have said before, was alwa,
- inclined to be skeptieal of the sincerity
&c her most intimate friends. This was a gre
10 obstacle to the advances of Marcellus, ar
caused a thorn to spring up in the breast

EARLY LOVE AND LATE MARRIAGE. The
Cincinnati Columbian relates the following:
a couple, each of whom was over seventy
years of age, were, a night ortwo ago, united
in the bonds of wedlock, at one of our princi-
pal hotels. They had been lovers in the
spring time of life-but circumstances parted
them. Each married, raised a family, lost
a mate, and then remarked and, finally,
having lost the second mate, and met their
first love, they concluded to traveldown the
hill of life together, and sleep together at its
foot They were both frail, lettering and
white-headed-but the fire of love still burnt
brightly in their hearts,

SIR JOHN F~RANKL1N's GRAvE.-Mr. Ste
wart arrived at St Paul's, Min, from Red
River, on his way to Canada, bearing des-
patches for Sir George Simpson, of the dis
covery of the point where Sir John Franklin
persisted. 1t was OF the coast opposite Mon
treal Island. Their bones lie buried in the
sand within IN extent of twelve miles. This
is the fifth winter since they persisted, and
the drifting sands of that barren region being
in lat. 60, north, nave piledin successive lay
ers on the bones of those noble and Inflated
men. Mr.. s.. describes the region as being
dreary in the extreme ; nos a blade of glass
nor a stick of timber met the eye. No game
of any kind could be found. Hewas inform
ed by the Esquimaux that they had reached
the spot just in time to see the last man die
of hunger who was leaning against some OBJ
ject when discovered. He was too far gone
to be saved. Mr.. S. brought home some ar
ticles known to have belonged to Sir John
Franklin.
