NONE STAND ALONE.

1t is in the providence of God that none
stand alone; we touch each other; man acts
on man, heart on heart; we are bound up
with each other; hand is joined in hand ;
wheel sets wheel in motion; we are spirit,
ually linked together, arm within arm; we
cannot live alone, nor die alone; we cannot
say, will only run risks with my own soul
1 am prepared to disobey the Lord for such
a pleasure or such a gain, but do not want
to implicatc others; only want to be an
swerable for myself. This cannot be. Each
living soul has itsinAuence on others in some
way or to some extent, consciousl y or uncon,
sciously; each has some power, more or less,
direct or indirect; one mind colors another;
a child acts on children; servants on theil
fellow servants masters on those they en-
ploy; parents on their children friends on
friends. Even when we do not design to in
auence others, when We are not thinking in
the least degree Of the effect of what We do.
when we are unconscious that we have any
influence at all, when we do not wish oul
conduct or way of life to affect any but our
selves, our manner of life, our conversation
our deeds, are all the while having weight
somewhere or somehow; our feet leave theil
impression, though we may not look behind
us to see the mark.

FOR THE LADIES.

ShNIrs. Denison, who has recently become
the Editress of "The Ladies' Enterprise" /"
at Boston, (noticed in our last,) is seldom
mealy mouthed, when she treats of foibles in
society, particularly those pertaining to her
own sex. The following, being the leader
in her paper of the lst instant, is sample
of the way she handles one subject, which
we fear is quite too common, for the good of
society, and the happiness of families.-Ex.
AN INNOCENT FLIRTAT1oN.-Why not
as we'll say an innocent theft, Or harmless
murder? 1t is not everybody who under
stands what the words mean. Some very
silly young girls, just out Of boarding school,
consider it a sort of compliment to be called
firts. They blush and simper, and pretend
to have just as many beaux as they can find
fresh fools to angle for them, little aware what
desperate habits are forming their charmed
circles around them, beyond which in few
years it will be out Of their power to move.
One can bear to be cheated by cloth mer-
chant or grocer, although the transaction
merits unlimited contempt; but to bedeceiv-
ed by the lips and the eyes, the smiles and
the speech of young hearts that God design
ed should be free from intentional guilt, if
any of His creation, makes wounds that even
time cannot heal Heaven knows how many
heart-hardened men walk the earth, soured
and unhappy, finding falsehood everywhere
looking crookedly upon all creations of
harmony, and seeing distortion in everything,
because their natures have been warped by
some cruel deception. Like the melted iron,
glowing and rich, they might have been
shaped to forms of enduring beauty-but the
heavy hammer of deceit came down, fatten-
ed and twisted, and left them cold, black,
shapeless masses.
The victim of hirt, in proportion to his
singleness of nature, his wholesome and i'm
plicit faith in his kind, his generous, unwarp-
ed sense of justice, and the breadth and
depth of his love, oftentimes becomes the
more morose, unyielding, woman-hating man.
And many such do marry from prudential
motives, after the fatal change, and lead their
partners most unhappy lives.
But young school girls-fnished, accom-
plished women, are not the only lirts. Shame
that we must say it, and to their absolute
and eternal disgrace be it spoken, some mar
ried women are firts. Not even the sacred
ness of the vows which their husbands con-
fde in them, nor the opinion of the world,
will deter them from this most satanic love
of vanity and misrule. Not even the babes
whose doves eyes rebuke them at every
glance, and whose innocence is a continual
prayer for their unworthy mothers, can wake
them to realization of the exceedingly steep

LONG SERMONS.

"Thc length of the modern sermon is q
great disadvantage and growing evil but
it is not the main cause of listlessness in the
hearer: for it is not the last portion which
tires US; We are tired before we get that re.
lief; and there are long sermons which never
appear long. The fault is both in the mat.
ter a6a'the style. The topics are too gener.
ally stale, and extremely limited in their
range; the public minl wants variety and
freshness. The mass of the truths uttered
from the pulpit need no proof; it is an Idle
waste of patience and skill to offer it. If
all repctitions of thought were excluded,
and the best of the remainder were alone re-
tanned, sermons would not be so unreasona-
bly, long. And generally the style is too
verbose; it is not close, compact, nervous.
The rule might be, to see how much space
the gold can be made to cover; the practice
is, not to be perspicuous, convincing, brief
The word-paintcr fails to exhibit his own
thought, probably because it is not clearly
conceived by himself; for he who thinks
clearly and vigorously will express himself
with sufficient perspicuity; thought shapes
the style. The one radical error, not univer-
sal, but general, is excessive verbiage-'the
seven grains are hid under bushel of chaff.
We are Of opinion that it is the sin of the
age; and indiscreet persons freely bestow
their praises upon young ministers-especial-
lyif they have plenty of bold 'fgures'-in
proportion to their being unable to remem-
Der anything that is said. The cloud land
style is, in our judgment, the most offensive;
an accumulation of what are no better than
cant terms, compound epithets, and words
without definite Specifications; and these
are often accumulated into an incongruous
mass of unintelligible jargon; yet, with
many, this constitutes fine writing and speak

NEW PhhODf OS PASSaliE IN HAMLET.
To we'd, or not to wed-that is the question,
Whether It's better for man to suffer
The desp'rate loneliness of single life,
Ordance around some rich and pretty woman,
And, by attention, win her TO wed-to change
No more and by the change to say We end
The thousand sneers and taunts which shock thu
nerves
Of unofending bachelors-'ts q consummation
Worth struggling for. To wed-to change
To change lit may be forthe worse aye there
the rub;
For in that change what dreams may come,
When we have ink'd our destinies with woman's
Should well be pondered. This is the thought
That makes us hesitate so long to marry;
For who would Ger endure the whips and scorns,
TIL unfecling jests, the rude comparisons,
The cold and marked negects, the keen retorts,
The sights and spurns, enough to drive him mad
To which the bachelor is so exposed,
When lie himself might all these rubs escape
BY taking to himself awife? Oh, who would care
To breathe through such hang-dog life as this,
But that the dreaded something after marriage
That boasted union, from whose rig 'rous ties
The grave alone relcases-haggles the will,
And makes us rather bear the ills we have
Than fly to others we know not of?
Thus caution keeps US daily as We are,
And thus our matrimonial inclinations
Are counteractedby thousand fears;
And resolutions which might make us husbands
Are by these fears deprived Of oil their pith
And lose the hon'r of their action.

THE RESULT OF THE WAR.

If the anticipated peace between Russia
and the allied Powers is concluded, the re-
snlts Of the tremendous struggle which has
convulsed Europe will not be unlike the re-
suits of the battle between the Nithsdale
boys, described by the Ettrick Shepherd as
follows -
The history of every war is very like Q
scene I once saw in Nithsdale, Scotland
Two boys from different schools met one fine
day upon the ice. They eyed each other a.
while in silence, with rather indignant
looks, and with defiance on each bow.
What are ye glowrin' at, Billy?
whats that to you, Donald? I'll look
whar I've a mind, and hinder me if you
daur.'
TO this a hearty blow was the return and
then began such battle. 1t being Satur-
day, all the boys of both schools were on
the ice, and the fight instantly became gen.
eral. At first they fought at distance with
missile weapons, such as stones and snow
balls; but at length coming to hand they
coped in a rage, and many bloody raps were
literally given and received.
Il went up to try if could pacify them
for by this time number of little girls had
joined the affray, and I was afraid they
would be killed. So, addressing one party,
| asked:
"What are you fighting those boys for p
What have they done to you?
20, nacthing at a, man; that's a.
My remonstrance was vain; at it they
went afresh; and after fighting till they were
quite exhausted, one of the principal he
roes stepped forth between the combatants,
himself covered with blood, and his clothes
all torn to tatters, and addressing the oppo-
sing party thus -
'Weel, I'll tell you what we'll do wi ye ;
if yeH let as alane, aceH let you a7aae.'-
There was no more of it; the war was at an
end, and the boys scampered away to their
play.
The scene was lesson of wisdom to me.
I thought at the time, and have often thought
since, that this is the best epitome of war in
general, that I have ever seen. Kings and
ministers of state are just set of grown
children, exactly like children I speak of,
with only the material difference, that in
stead of fighting out for themselves the
needless quarrels they have raised, they sit
in safety and look on, hound on their inno-
cent but servile subjects to battle, and then,
after an immense waste of blood and treas
urc, are glad to make the boys condition
'if yell let US alanc, we'll let you alane.'

an AMerlcanj Oh Tile contrary, entertain q
high regard for many Americans whom |
know, and when [ was in the United States
received many-very many-personal at
tentions. I was we'll received everywhere
General Jackson gave me banquet at the
White House; many citizens of note invited
me to their homes and their hearths; public
bodies everywhere rendered me honors, and
a government ship conveyed me from Nor
folk to Mexico But the spirit that animates
and the policy that guides, the American
people are antsgonistic to my own country,
and I can never yield to its enemy any other
feeling than that which springs from love
for my native land. This I evinced on my
return to Mexico, after the peace. found
American money circulating everywhere
Some two and half millions of dollars, which
had been left by the army, were scattered
among our people, corrupting our youth,
and familarizing them to the sight of the
American eagle. My first decree was to
Danish it from the country, and 1 drove it
out. l will have none of them, nor their
principles, nor even their money"
He went on at some length, commenting
upon the results of the peace. "What has
it brought? ?" said he. "Another attempt
at confederation, which has resulted in great
er disunion and confusion. Congresses and
Congresitos again-all wish to command, and
none to obey. All seek to be petty sover-
eigns, instead of one great nation, and the
resources of the country are scattered in pro-
viding pay and mileage for countless depu-
ties These Congresses have cost Mexico
more treasure than would suffice to lade all
the OK carts in the republic"
The conversation soon took general turn,
during which he remarked that he had now
done with public affairs and closeed his ca
reeras public man. We soon after took
our leave.
At Turbaco was told he is doing much

NIGHT THOUGHTS ON THE DEATH OF A CHILD

BY NoNos, JUNIOR.
Naseentes mopimm yfni, que ad origine pendef
MANILIUs.
How transitory are the things of Life!
That alienation twixt storm and calm,-
A storm when, by the laws of stern Necessity,
We bear our breasts against the beating winds;
A calm when, yielding to the ruthless blast,
We sink and then are numbered with the dead.
Come when this calm may-at the eve of life,
Or when the dawn's first blush our cheeks ha'
tinged,
And it is terrible; from the mournful thoughts
OF endless separation, which it prints
With burning fingers on our trembling hearts,
And from the dim uncertainty, and awful doubt,
Which as veil enshroud the dread Beyond.
But for myself, the thought has twofold awe
When from the ranks of youth the victim comes
Wreathed with sweet smiles and many rosy blush
Such as the flower whose fragrance we have lost
Just as it oped its petals to the sun,
Which stricken by the ruthless hand Of Death
In its young beauty hastens to decay!
Yes yes the child whose brilliant eyes had shet
Their radiant light upon Earth's gloomy path,
No more shall bring her light and life to hearts
Where grief now sits in darkness deep and drear
But grieve not for the loved one "gone BEFORE"
But let her be,a beacon light on high
Unwaverinc midst the storm and mists Of earth
To guide our truant hearts safe home to God.
For well we know, when we are pledged by Him
To bliss immortal or to endless woe,
Her tiny form shall walk the vault of Heaven
And sing eternal praises to the Lamb!

prccipice upon whose brink they stand sway
ing to their fall.
And what shall We say of such? That
they arc murderers, striking virtue, bleed
ing to the earth. That they are suicides,
strangling the spiritual within them. That
they are thieves stealing trust and confidence
from the hearts that shelter them with honest
love- They are counterfeits, passing for gen.
uine the smiles they lavish upon their hus-
bands That they are liars bartering their
truth and their honesty for williams favor
that they combine in short variety of
every sin and every rank deflement under
heaven
Such women sometimes excuse themselves
by saying that their husbands are not true to
them in thought, word and deed, and there
fore their own derelictions. What! shall
the eagle, if mated with the vulture, stoop
to prey on garbage?
