Do Good.--Thousands OF men
breathe, move and live--pass of the
stage of life and are heard of no
more. Why? They did not do
particle of good in the world and none
were blessed by them, none could
point to them as the instruments OF
their redemption; not word spoke
could be recalled, and so they per
ished their light went out In dark
ness, and they were not remember d
mere than the insects of YESTERDAY.
Will you thus live and die, 0 man
immorta? Live for something. 10
good, and leave behind you monu-
mcnt of virtue that the storm of time
can never destroy. Write your name
in kindness, love and mercy, ON the
hearts of thousands you come in con-
tact with year by year, and you will
never be forgotten. No, your name,
your deeds, will be as legible on the
hearts you leave behind, as the stars
on the brow of evening. Good deeds
will shine as the stars of Heaven.

Be EQUAL TO THE CRIsIs,-Whcn
a crisis befalls you, and the emergen
cy requires moral courage to meet it,
be equal to the requirements of the
moment, and rise superior to the OBJ
stacles in your path. The universal
testimony of men whose experience
exactly comedies with yours, furnish
es the consoling reflection that diff
culties may be ended by opposition.
There is no blessing equal to stout
heart. The magnitude of danger
needs nothing more than a greater eff
fort than ever at your hands. If you
are recreant in the hour of trial, you
are the worst of recreants, and de
serve no compassion. Be not dis
mayed or unnamed when you should
be bold, daring, unainching and reso-
lutte. The cloud whose threatening
murmurs you hear with fear and
dread, is pregnant with blessings, and
the frown, whose sterness makes you
shudder and tremble, will, ere long,
be succeeded by smile of bewitch-
ing sweetness and benignity. Then
be strong and manly, oppose equal
force to open difficulties, keep a firm
reliance on your ability to overcome
the obstacles, and trust in Provi-
dence.

THE GRAVES OF THE Beloved
How precious is the spot to US where
repose the remains of a beloved friend
or relative, in whose society we once
took so much delight. The mother
often loves there to retire, and while
standing beside the grave of her be-
loved child, to call to mind the scenes
of by-gone days, when the loved one
now reposing in the silence Of the
grave, smiled upon her, and called
her by the endearing name of moth
er. There the father spends hours in
looking back to the time when nc
knew his beloved and promising son
whom none knew but to love, was the
Joy of his heart and the object of his
greatest care and solicitude. The
husband or the wife here come to me
ditate, and mourn the loss of q de
parted companion; all, from the
nearest relative, to the hearted
and sorrow-stricken friend, here re-
sort to mediate on the happy seasons
of the past, and look forward to the
future, when they too shall be laid
beside those whom they love, and
with them enter another state of be
ing.

A SAD STORY.

removed his family tn Missouri. For
a short time after settling down there,
as he did in Carroll county. he aud Mr..
lsaac Hill, Who had also taxed his fam.
lily along with him. seemed 10 DO pleas
with their prospects. But soon the
news of sickness began to como to their
friends here, andnow the matter stands
thus :-hlr. Hill has lost two of his chill.
dred. and is only waiting for the open
ing OF the river to start back TO Virgin
ia. his friends here having furnished
him with the means Of doing so; while
at The last accounts Mr.. Leeper had
lost his wife and his second sou, u youth
OF some nineteen years of age. and him.
sell and all his family but small boy
(who wrote tho letteD were down with
the fever. l, is scarcely necessary to
add that Mr.. Leoper also intends to re-
turn to Virginia if he is not taken off by
the fever Fortunately for him, atho'
all the money he took with him is ex L.
hausted, yet he has debts coming to him
here, which, when collected, will afford
him the means Of getting back. He was
wol.to-do farmer here, and lived in
comfort and happiness. Within tho
short space Of year he has lost home,
wife and child. We doubt not howev-
er that tho sufferers will BIO only too
happy to find resting place among
their old friends once more, and i'll
