The Beautiful must Die.

When we look about upon the various
things which the all-wise Creator has
spread out to our view, we are led to think
what a world of beauty this is. The
green fields, the lofty mountains, the deep
dark sea and the blue sky above our
heads, all are beautiful to the observing
mind. The little flowers that spring up
in our pathway and convey joy and glad
ness to the heart, are also emblems of
beauty; yet all these things must fade.
The many bright forms which people this
earth are doomed to fade and die, be their
step ever so light, their hearts ever so
gay. The fatal destroyer Death is on
their track, and sooner or later will over
take them and claim them for his victims.
Thus it is in this changing and transitory
world. We see the lovely and beautiful
fade and die, and are reminded that our
stay upon this earth is of short duration,
1t may be but a few short weeks or years
when we too may be called to bid adieu
to the scenes of this world. But there
is another brighter and more beautiful
world than this, where no changes take
place nor sorrow enters to dim our Joy
and happiness. The beautiful things o.
that world will never fade, but will con
tinue to be pure and bright, glowing from
the hand of their Author; and if we bu
live with a wise reference to that world
though our bodies die and our memor.
fades from this world, yet our spirits vii
; be borne on seraph's wings to that man
sion of eternal joy and blessedness at tn
right hand of God.

Happiness,
LYDIA r. PARKER.

1t is that which is so often sought and
so seldom found. o, how strange, that
there should be so little real happiness
in a world like this. But so it is, and
so it always will be. Who ever saw a
person that was perfectly happy? No
one. Although we often see those who
seem to have nothing to trouble them,
and even enjoy their seemingly easy and
happy lot, but go to that person and in
short conversation we should find, alas
as we find it with every one, the skele-
ton that will ever be torment till the
soul shall separate from the body. But
let US remember that all our Creators
course is for the best. Were it so or
dered that we should be perfectly happy,
short would be the time before we should
forget all the true and friendly feelings
which we now owe one another. All So
cial intercourse, enterprise and industry,
would soon cease, and Incidence prevail.
Far better is it for US, to have our trou-
bles and trials so that we may better
know how to appreciate the blessings
which we are permitted to enjoy, altho'
seemingly small, but great in comparison
to our returning thoughts and regard to
our Maker. Every one should lead an
honest and upright life, and stand by the
old motto; " Do by others as you would
have them do by you,' and this will
prove great barrier of happiness.

A Sketch.

There is no union here of hearts,
Which hath not here an end"

" trlenQ aIter Ulenu departs,
Who has not lost friend?
There is no union here of hearts,
Which hath not here an end.'
Such were the impressive lines hastily
transcribed on blank leaf of my man
uscript, by dear friend as we sat one
evening recounting the occurrences of
the day past, and laying plans for the flu
ture. One year before we had met as
strangers in strange land, but a SINH
larity of tastes and pursuits soon made
US friends, and love like the love of sis
tiers had entwined our hearts. We had
each said the sad Good bye" to loved
schoOlmates, and had packed our trunks
in readiness for an early departure the
next morning TO our distant homes; hers
far to the South, mine in the Green
Mountain State. A feeling of sadness
crept over our spirits which we sought in
vain to dispel.
A few weeks with loved ones at home
and we expected to meet again and re-
sumo our studies.
A sad foreboding seemed to hover over
my friend whose spirits had till that eve

where parting scenes are never known.
Her parents arrived in time only to re-
ceive her last farewell, and shroud the
loved and lifeless form of their only
child for the tomb. / had often read
those truthful lines, but never had felt
their truth, until on opening my manu-
script, still damp with her tears. On my

in tones never to be forgotten. Surely,
There is no union here of hearts,

NV Sisters Grave.

The sea pulse beats where Ida sleeps,
Along the whiteLed sandi
And Ger her grave the woodbine creeps'
Trained by q spirit hand.
The signing willow sadly weayes .
A curtain DER her head,
And oft the dark magnolia leaves
Sing dirges DER her head.
The white rose blooms upon her grave,
Bathed by an angel tear
And orange blossoms sweetly wave
AboYe that breast so dear.
And when the blast from northern land
Sweeps cold across the main,
Sweet tears shall water, signs shall fan
The bud to bloom again.

The Snow-Flakes.

They come, the pretty snow fakes come,
They're falling all around;
They hangupon each graceful tree
And cover Ger the ground.
They come to form the wreaths Of snow
That hang upon the trees;
To sparkle in the sunshine bright
As crests upon the seas.
They come like guardian angels down,
Arrayed in robes of white,
And sparkle in their frosty beds
Like diamonds pure and bright.
They seem like gems of wisdom sent,
OF light, and life, and love,
To bring instruction down from Him
Who rules and reigns above.
