BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT.-A man without
religion is at best o poor reprobate-the
foot ball Of destiny, with no tie linking him
TO infnity and the wondrous eternity that is
within him. But woman that is without
it is even worse-a flame without heat; a
flower without perfume.
A man may, in some sort, tie his frail
hope and honors with weak shifting ground,
and tackle to bis business of the world; but
the woman without that ancher which thev
call faith, is drift and wreck. A man
may clulnsily continue kind Of responsible
ity or motive, but can find no basis on any
other system Of right action than that OF spir-
itual faith. a man may craze his thoughts
and his brain to thoughtlessness in such
poor harbordge as fame and reputation
may stretch before him-a woman, where
can she put ner hope, while passing through
trials, storms and tribuIations, ii not III
heaven.
! And the sweet truthfulnes that abiding
love-that enduring hope, mellowing every
scene of life, tightening them with the pleas
ant radiance-when the worlds cold storms
break like an army with cannon, who can
bostow it all but holy soul tie, to what is
stronger than an army with cannon? Who,
that has enjoyed the love Of a God-molher,
but will echo the thought with energy, and
haow it with tear?
The worldly being has no points where
divine grace can reach lin. Take away the
object Of his ambition and lie is soured, add
TO it and he becomes intoxicated. Send him
sickness, and he only writhes like a wound
ed snake. Bat the unsealng of the human
heart, by cutting off its earthly objects of
love, turns the foundation Of that love direct
TO Heaven. The bereaved soul looks lis
Heavenly Parent in the face because Of IFS
chastsement. Sacred indeed, then, is that
Heaven fire whose presence gives happiness.
on earth. and even whose extinguishment
serves TO open the vision Of eternal glofy and
reward in Heaven.-- TX Marvel.

tion, and is likely TO do so; in fact, the whole
slave force in favorable years is inadequate
to supply the market. The slave force can
not be increased by migration-it has no
resource but the natural increase Of the
black population, and every planter must
depend upon the increase of his own hands
to enhance his working force. The value
of slaves has risen from $500 TO $4,000 for
able hands. Out of this fact grows curl
Gus political political result viz, that there
are no elements for the settlement of new
slave States. The force disposable for mi
grafton is very small, and cannot be risked
in uncertain adventures in new lands when
it is so valuable on old estates. We have
in a previous number alluded to the infu.
ence Of bank and State loans in inducing
migration from the old Atlantic Slateu tc
the new Western States in the ten year.

CIVILIZED AMusEMENrs.-The peop'e c
of steady New England appear to have
quite as much zest for semi-barbarous a.
musements as their neighbors. Witness
the following:
After several silver dollars had been
picked from the creased pole at the cattle
show in Pittsfield, Mass, a silver watch,
said TO be worth SIG, was tied to the pole.
Scores tried in vain TO win this. At last a
little German boy, of Pontoosuc, named
Weydman, climbed up like bear cub.--
When within five feet OF the watch, he
looked at steadily for a moment, and giving
three leaps, in which he seemed to lose the
hid of the pole entirely, he cluched the
prize and slid back, amidst tnmultuous APP
plause. 1t was found that his hands were
rosined but as this was deemed fair play,
he was allowed to keep the watch, and al
forwards won another in the same way.

The True Beauty Of Home.

Tie country is true home OF beauty and
horticulture is the free school Of taste, in
which all our readers may become apt pupils
il !hey choose, and graitied and useful pro-
fessors if they will it, and help to create as
much beauty in their spare hours as the
wealthy citizen can purchase with the gains
Of years, to decorate lis brick and mortar
palace in the metropolis.
There is no mere ornament, in the house
or out Of 1t, SO cheap and SO tasteful as
healthy plants and flowers, and You will
hear ten persons of sense admiring yout
geranlums or fuchsias, where one will no.
tce your rich curtains and mirrors. And
out doors the eye that would never be at
tracted by glaring paint, cornice or column,
will be instantly ARRESTED by the living ar
abesque of native creeper, or the umbra-
geous outline Of an American tree.
Do you not admire that simple little cot
tage, with its graceful trees, from our native
woods? The vines making beautiful while
they conceal the rough out buildings; the lit.
tie "frout yard" or more fitting lawn, gem
med with shruJbery ana sparkling will

vety t-rf, or natural ones over it all in keep.
ing, and all suited to the means of the taste
ful owner. II you have been able 10 lift the
veil that hides the life within, have you not
found real comfort and true happiness there,
and are not the inmates really deserving Of
what they enjoy?
And how much in time and money has all
this cost? Perhaps less than 1.-THE Of what
