BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT.

Shortly before the departure Of the lament
ed Heber for India, he preached a sermon,
which contained this beautiful illustration :
"Life bears us on like the stream of mighty
river. Our boat at first glides down the mar
row channel-through the playful murmuring
of the little brook and the winding of its gras-
sy borders. The trees shed their blossoms over
our young heads, the flowers on the brink
seem to offer themselves to our young hands 3;
we are happy in hope, and we grasp eagerly
at the beauties around us-but the stream
hurries on, and still our hands are empty
Our course in youth and manhood is along a
wilder and deeper food amid, objects more
striking and magnificent We are animated
at the moving pictures of enjoyment and in
dustry passing us; we are excited at some
short lived disappointment. The stream bears
US on, and our joys and griefs are alike left
behind u.s. We may be shipwrecked, we can
not be delayed, whether rough Or smooth, the
river hastens to its home, till the roar of the
ocean is in our ears, and the tossing of the
waves is beneath our feet, and the land lessons
from our eyes, and the foods are lifted up a,
round us, and we take our leave of earth and
its inhabitants, until of our further voyage
there is no witness save the infinite and eter.

TEST OF ABoLITIONISM.

All is not gold that shines, and the londes
mouthed philanthropists and reformers some
times cave in when put to severe practica
test, like the following:
Il had brother-in-law, said Nose Parkins
'who was one Of the ravenest maddest reddest
hottest abolitionists you ever see. liked the
pcsky critter we'll enough, and should have
been very glad to see him cum to spend day
fethchin' my sister to.see me and my wife, il
he hadn't lowed his tongue to run on so bout
niggers and slavery, and the equality of the
races, and the duty of overthrowing the Con
stitution of the United States, and lot of othel
things, some of which made me mad, and the
best part of 'cm right sick 1 puzzled my
brains good deal to think how could make
him shct up his noisy head bout abolition.
Wall, one time when brother-in-law como
over to stay, an idea struck me. I hired 9
niger to help'me haying time. He was the
biggest strongest, greasiest niggeryou ever see
Black he was blacker than a stack of black
cats, and jest as shiney as a new beaver hat
spoke to him. Jake sez I, when you
hear the breakfast bell ring, don't you say a
word but you come into the parlor and sit right
down among the folks and eat your breakfast
The nigger's eyes stuck out of his head about
feet Your jokin' massa,' sez he. Jok

sez he, Il shan't have time to wash myself
and change my shirt so much the better
sez I. Wall, breakfast come, so did Jake
and he sat down long side my brother-in-law
He started, but he didn't says word. There
warn't no mistake about it, Shut your eyes and
you'd know it-for he was loud, I tell you
There was fust-rate chance to talk abolition.

Jake sez I, you be on hand at dinner

the rest to your imagination. .--.
Wall--in the atternoon--brother-in law

'Mose, said he, Il want to speak to you
Sing it OUT seq I.
Il hain't but few words to say sez he,
'but if that ere confounded nigger comes to
the table again while I'm stoppin' here, I'll
clear out.
Jake ate his supper that night in the kitch-
en-, but from that day to this, I never heard
my brother-in-law open his head about aboli-
tionism. Wheo the fugitive slave bill was
passed, I thought he'd let out some, but he

moments-well, you can guess all that Pre-
sently I heard the crack of rife on my lett,
sharp whistle close to my head, and third
on my right, as the shot told among the fur,
succeeded by another short, sharp snarl louder
than the frst-another crack, sensation like
red hot wire across my neck, (being at the
bottom of the slope, they could but just sight
the lion over my head, and N had fired a
quarter of an inch too low,) another furious
snarl, and then roar-and such a roar-with-
in yard of my tympanum. I never heard
such sound out of anything, living or dead ;
then three or more shots close together, and
hustle at my side, which sounded like my
neighbor settling down among the grass and
bushes.
sNow roll |! roll for your life p shouted Ms
clear voice again. I was saved the trouble
the dying brute, in his convulsions giving me
kick with his hind legs which sent me fly
ing down the steep out of reach of further
danger.

English surnames ending in ford, field, brook,
vale, street, and similar Examinations, belong
to the latter class. So do surnames ending in
ham, ley and toll; which signi6ed respectively
in the old Saxon, houses, meadow and town
Lytileton means, therefore, Littletown, and
Granville Grandtown and other names of the
English nobility have the like plebian origin
Examples of names derived from estates are
De Spencer, De Coursey, and De Valenco, de
being the Norman for Of; and therefore all
names of this character belonged originally to
Norman families. Another class of names are
foreign ones, naturalized, so to speak, in En-
gland or here. Among these are Bouvier, the
French name, meaning cowhead; Cadwalader,
Welch name, meaning Chief of the Druids,
and Campbell, an Italian name, meaning a
beautiful field. This last name, curious to say,
runs through nearly every language in Europe,
as Fairfield, Kemble, Beauchamp, and Scho-
nau. Neander is Neuman made. classical, as
Grotius is De Groot, transformed in a similar
manner. %.
In addition to names descriptive to the per-
sonal appearance, there are names originating
in the mental qualifications. Goodman, Wise,
Moody and numerous others illustrate this
All the Clarks are descended from ancestors,
in various localities, who could read and write
in times when those accomplishments we're
rare, and who were therefore called clerks
There are many names, derived from occupa-
tlons, which at first sight are little suspected
oft. Chaucer is an instance, for it comes from
chaussure or horse, so that the ancestor of the
great English poet must have been a stocking
master. Sir Charles Napier, the rampant Brit
ish Admiral, as well as Sir William Napier,
the historian of the Peninsular War, had q
progenitor, centuries ago, who was waiter,
for the servant who offered the napkins or nap
cry, to the guests went by this name in old
times The lapse of centuries, and the con-
sequent mutations of fortunes, have, in SINH
lar way, put surnames often in odd contradic.
tion to existing circumstance; for we have
known Goodmans imprisoned for crime, Kings
playing the part of menials, and St. Johns
cheating at cards. .....
A volume might be written on surnames,
without exhausting the subject To persons
who have leisure, and are curious in such mat
ters, it will afford interest and amusement to
trace the derivation of their acquaintance
surnames. Many would-be aristocrat, now a
days, might be humbled in this way, simply by
recalling the obscure origin of his Or her
name Restern AgricultwaRst

ORIGIN OF SURNAMES.

Few people, when they hear stranger
surname, pause to think how it originated
Yet, as a man originally had but one name, as
Adam, Enoch, Noah OF Abraham, and as sur
names therefore are of comparatively late ori-
gin, it affords curious study to inquire how
surnames originated A late article in the
Edinburgh Review discusses the origin OF
English surnames. Without confning our
selves entirely to that article we shall yet draw
largely on it, in the few words we have to say
about surnames and their origin.
The first resort when population became so
thick that surnames became necessary to dis
tinguish the different members of a family,
was to afix an epithet descriptive of some per-
sonal peculiarity, or Of the trade the man pur-
sued Thus arose the names of Smith and
Tanner, Brown and Black, with others of a
similar description. In some cases, the child
was called by name which distinguished it as
the son of some well known person, and in this
way originated johnson, Harrison and Will
hanson. In the Roman tongue where Fitz
means son, arose, in like manner, Fitzwilliam
and Fitzgerald; and in the Celtic, where the
prefix Mac has slight Specification, M'Donald,
MMichael, and others of cognate kind
Another class of surnames had a local origin,
the person being named from the estates he
owned, or the village where ne lived. All

T.OTJTS NAPOT,EON

How astonishing it seems now, that when
Louis Napoleon lived in England, of the ma
ny intelligent Englishmen to whom he was
we'll known, there was but one, Sir Robert
Peel, who considered him a man of more than
ordinary talent. One would think that such
man as he has proved himself since his ac-
cession to power in France, must have i'm
pressed every one who came in contact with
him with profound sense of his superior abil-
ity. That he is the greatest statesman and
ablcst ruler of the old world, seems to be the
universal opinion of all Europe; yet he had
lived to middle age, and no one discovered a
spark of genius in him, till he emerged from
obscurity. Undoubtedly he is great man,
the master mind of Europe, and, aided by the
English alliance, is capable of making greater
changes in the map of the continents than
were achieved even by his illustrioufs Uncle
Nay, England herself, but for the blue water
that rolls between and the "walls of oak" that
float upon the wave, would be completely at
the mercy of the nephew of Napoleon. The
present war has destroyed the 'prestige" of
the British army in the eyes of France and
of the world. 1t has inspired the French
soldiery with perfect contempt of England
as military power, and soothed the pride
which has been wounded and bleeding since
the downfall of Napoleon. Without drawing
the sword against her ancient foe, France, un-
der the second Napoleon, has amply retrieved
the furnished laurels of Waterloo.-RicAmond

LET Us BE HAPPY.
BY ELIZA COOK.

BY ELIZA COOK.
Oh let US be happy when friends gather round US,
However the world may have shsdowed our lot,
When the rose-braided links of affection have bound
US,
Let the cold chains of earth be despised and forgot;
And say that the friendship is only ideal,
That Truth and Devotion are blessings unknown,
For he who believe every heart as unreal,
Has something unsound at the core of his own.
Oh! let US be happy when moments Of pleasure
Have brought to our presence the dearest and best
For the pulse always beat to most heavenly measure
When love and good will sweep the strings of the
breast.
Oh let usbe happy, when moments Of meeting
Bring those to our side who illumine our eyes
And though folly, perchance, shake bell at the
greeting,
He is the dullest of fools who forever is wise.
Let the laughter Of joy echo over our bosoms
As the hum Of the bee Ger the midsummer How-
For the honey of happiness is from loves blossoms,
And is found in the hive Of those exquisite hours.
Then let us be happy when moments Of pleasure
Have brought to our presence the dearest and best,
For the pulse always beats to most heavenly
When love and goodwill sweep the strings OF the
breast.
& Let us plead not spirit too sad and too weary,
To yield the kind word and the mrth-lighted smile;
The heart like the tree, must be fearfuly dreary,
Where the robin of hope will not warble awhile.
Let say not in pride that We care not for Others
And live in our wealth Ikea OK in his stall;
'Tis the commerce of love with our sisters and
brothers
Helps to pay our great debt to the Father of All.
Then let us be happy when moments of pleasure
Have brought to presence the dearest and best,
For the pulse ever beats with heavenly measure,
When love>and goodwill sweep the strings Of the
