Wife, Children, and Friends.

When the ckleter d list to the gods presented
The list of what fate for each mortal intends
At the long string of lisa kind goddess relented,
And slipp'd in three blessings WIFE children and friends
In vain surly Pluto declared he cheated,
And Justice divine could not compass her ends,
The scheme of mans penance he swore was defeated
For earth becomes heav with wife children and
If the stock of our bliss is in stranger hands rested
The fund, i'll secured. oft in bankruptcy ends.
But the heart issues bills which never posted,
When drawn on the firm of-wife children and friends
The soldier whose deeds live immortal in story,
When duty o far distant ATTITUDES sends
With transport would barter whole ages of glory,
For one happy hour with wife, children, and friends
Though valor still CLOVIS in Gfe's waning embers
The death-wounded tar, who his colors defends,
Drops a tear of regret as he lying remembers,
How lest his home with wife, chilre, and friends
Though the spcebreahng gale DER his caravan hovers
Though around him Arabias whole fragrance descendS,
The merchant still thinks Of the woodbne that cover
The bower where he sat with wife children and friends
The day-spring of youth st uncloudel with sorrow
Alone itself for enjoyment depends,
But drear Is the twilight of age, if it borrow
No warmth from Smiles wie children and friends
Let the breath OF renown ever freshen and nourish
The laurel that er her fair favoritcs bends
Ger me wave the willow and long may it flourish.
l3elew'd with tears Of wife children and friends.

SACREDNEss OF TEARs.-Dr. johnson observes,
"There is sacredness in tears" They are not
q mark of weakness, but of power They speak
more eloquent than thousand tongues They
are the messengers of overwhelming grief, OF
deep contrtion, of unspeakable love- If there
were wanting any argument to prove that man-
is not mortal. would look for it in the strong,
emotions of the breast, when the soul has been
deeply agitated when she fountains of feeling
are rising, and when the tears are gushing forth
in crystal streams Oh, speak net harshly to
the stricken one, weeping in silence! Break
not the deep solemnity by rude laughter or in
trusive steps. Despise not woman's tears-they
are what make her an angel. Scott not if the
stern heart of manhood is sometimes melted to-
tears-they are what help to.elevate him above
the brute | love to see tears of affection.
They are painted tokens, bat still most holy
There is pleasure in tears-an awful pleasuse.
If there were none on earth to shed tear for
me. should be 10th to live; and if no one might
weep over my grave, I could never die in
peace.

FLowERs.-How natural for every human
heart to turn to flower, and take in JOY and

which the sense of beauty and love of God are
not wholly obliterated and overgrown by coarse,

The heart, susceptible to any influence OF beau.
tv or refinement. will thrill with pleasure at
the sight of a delicate flower in desert place.

TERRIBLE REBUKE,-An exchange says,
when Monroe was about to be hung, the execu-

and now you're going to send my soul to hell !,

astrii7e the Harp Gently"

We have received a message. dictated by the
late MIRIAM GoopENow RoBB a few days before
the gates of Paradise were lifted up at the COM
ing OF one Of the iairest and purest of those
whom God created only a little lower than the
angels Her request WAS that Gen. ALLEN and
the editor OF this paper would rot forget that
she had lived-that thew would collect and send
to her little daughter Ella the articles writ
ten about herself. that when Ella shall have
learned TO read she may honor the name Of her
lost mother and be taught that this world is
not so very dreary: because in this far-oG sun
set land. among the noddinc frs and bleak and
silent crags of California many a heart, cailOus-
ed with the curse Of gold, welled up like a
fountain in the desert. when the sweet voice OF
her mother babe the bearded miner strike the
harp gently
Strange il is. when the Angel of Death is
sent to earth TO execute the decree of dust to
dust" that the young and beautiful perish.
while the old and the deformed and the heavy
ladencd are left to toll on with their heavy bur
dens, But so it is; the archer sends his shaft
at the soaring agile rather than at the partridge
covering under the hedge: and when the light
ming crowns the mountains brow with fire. the
ienober trees escape its vengeance, but the lofty
pine chat lifts its head heayenward and mods to
its Creator. is blasted. and its branches wither-
ed. leaving only the riyen trunk swaying to and
fro writing on the overhangiEg dome. in char
acters invisible TO mortal eye. THY will be
done.," And when 1.-The demons down under
the sea" come up and war among the waves,
the worthless hulk is thrown upon the beach.
but the noble ship goes down full Of life and
majesty.
And when the flower girl goes forth to gather
the frst-born of the spring-time. the lily bend
ing with the purest Oscillations Of night is gath
cred first.
Rest thee. sweet singer. Rest thee beneath
the green praries of Illinois; and every evening
when the chaste sunlight draws its last magic
circle round thy sleeping place, still honored
by the tears and memory of the loved and lost,
STRIKE TIE HARP GENTLY !''
And the little ELLA. In after years. when
the glow of womanhood has mantled her cheek;
when the stranger kiss, pressed on her infant
brow, shall have grown cold; when the chaste
summer wind sweeps up from Lake Michigan
and plays among the branches of the locust and
the willow in Gods Acre; when
The young lambs playing in the meadows;
The young birds chrpng in the nest
The young fawns playing with the shadows,
And the young flowers are blowing toward the west
let ELLA, kneeling by the honored grave of ge-
Mus, whisper to the love-watching angel. "Moth-
er, strike the harp gently for me!'

OPPOSITION certain amount of opposition
is a great help to a man. Kites rise against
and not with the wind. Even a head wind is
better than none. No man ever worked his
passage anywhere in dead calm. Let no man
wax pale therefore. because of opposition. OPP
position is what he wants, and must have, to be
good for anything. Hardship is the native soil
of manhood and selfreliance. He that cannot
abide the storm without flinching or quailing.
strips himselfin the sunshine, and lays down by
the wayside, to be overlooked and forgotten
He who but braces himself to the struggle when
the winds blow, gives up when they have done,
and falls asleep in the stiffness that follows.

LITTLE THoRNs.-The sweetest and moss
clnging affection is often shaken by Che slighs-
est breath of unkindness. as the delicate ter
drills of the vine are agtated by the faintest air
that blows in summer. An unkind word from
one beloved. often draws the blood from hearts
which would defy the battle-axe of hatred, or
the keeness edge of vindictive satire. Nay, the
shade. the gloom of the face, familiar and dear,
awakens grief and pain. These are the little
thorns which, though men of rougher forms
make their way through them without feeling
much, extremely incommode persons Of refn-
ed turn, in their journey through life, and make
their travelling irksome and unpleasant.
