more. Why? They do not particle of good in the
world, and none were blessed by them, none could
point to them the instrument Of their redemption
not word they spoke could be recalled, and they
perished their light went out in darkness, and they
were not remembered more than the insect of yester
day. Will you thus live and die, 0 man immortal? :?
Live for something. Do good and leave behind you a
monument of virtue that the storm Of time never
destroy. Write your name in kindness, love and
mercy on the hearts Of thousands who come in contact
with you year by year, you will never be forgotten
No, your name, your deeds, will be as legble on the
hearts you leave behind the stars on the brow Of
evening. Good deeds will shine the stars of Heaven

arising from this quarter. Though they do not cost

our own soul. Angry words are fuel to the flame of
wrath, and make it blaze more tiercely.
Kind words make other people good natured. Cold
bitter words make them bitter, and wrathful words
make them wrathful. There is such a rush of all
other kinds of words, in days, that it des
rable to give kind words chance among them.
There vain words and idle words and hasty words
and spitefl words, and silly words and empty words,
and profane words and bosterous Words and warlike
words. Kind words also produce their own image on
mems souls. And beautiful image it is. They
smooth, and quiet, and comfort the hearer. They
shame him out of his sour, morose, unknd feelings.
We have not yet began to use kind words in such
abundance as they ought to be used. Pascal.

WooL.-During the year 1856 there was imported
into this country foreign woolen manufactures valued
at twentyfour million four hundred and four thou
sand dollars. The duties paid on them would amount
to over five million dollars. Could that wool have
been brought into the country in the state and
duty free, and then manufactured here, more than
sixteen million dollars would have been saved to the
country, and while the wool growers would not have
been injured by it, the wooden manufacture at home
would have been grt atty stimulated and benefited.

the amont Of money in the country proportionably

Iti singular fact that, with abundance Of cheap
lands good breeds Of sheep, and every facility for
growing wool cheap, we have to pay to other coun-
tries from twenty-five to thirty million dollars every
year for wool and woolens. In the year 1854 it was
over thirty-fye million dollars. The importation Of
wool and woolens is fast increasing There is very
