hereafter that awaits the faith
ful. While the brilliant produc-
ton of the painter will moulder
into dust, the greatest invention
of art vanish before the ruthless
hand of time--the throne of the
conqueror be wrested from him
by opposing powers-and the
hopes which youth cherished,
may all be vanished in one short
moment, like varied tints of the
rainbow, or the gorgeous rays
of a golden autumn sunset, as
it wells the mountains in purple
robe. But since the hopes of
earth are feeting-her beauties
still more fading-what does it
avai! if we gain the topmost
height of Pernasus, and inscribe
our names high on the list of
fame, if the present is to be the
final. But it is not thus. We
have a more glorious aim than
the sordid ones of earth. When
this mortal shall put on immor-
tality, then the beauties which
present themselves to our view
will never fade. The songs
that are sung will never cease
those forms of beauty will ever
be with us; those bright stars,
which only visit us nightly, will
stand out like so many grand
sentinels, ever keeping watch,
and the fading visions of all
things bright, that only stay
with US but a moment here, will
assume the garb of reality, and
be with us forever.

LABOR.
by WILLIAM LEIGHTON.

Up to Ta' or! do not slumber!
Westward comes the god of day
Sleep disturbing, night destroying,
Comes the god of beam and ray.
Must | labor may l never
Know the bliss of labor done?
Must Irouse me every morning.
Rouse me with the morning sun!
Labor, labor! constant, ever
'Iis the same thing Ger and o'er;
Galley-slaves my lot might envy,
Tugging, toiling at the oar,
would have a world of pleasure,
Filled with joys, and filled with rest
Labor be thing forgotten-
Say, would not my world be best?
Wherefore labor! brute creation,
Instinct led, without a mind,
Labor not by nature s teaching;
Labor's for the human kind.

THOUGHTS AT TWILIGHT.

The parting beams of day are
just bidding farewell to earth
and the soft and pensiye twilight
hoar invites the thoughtful forth,
to muse on the sombre scene.
A welcome pause, moment given,
TO liftthe thoughts from earth 10 heav'n.
Although earth is beautiful.
her scenes so bright, the ties
that bind us here SO strong, can
itbe possible that this is our only
abiding place, and life a mere
gllttering bubble, to dazzle for
a moment, and sink into moth
ingness /? Are the lofty aspira-
tions OF the soul which flash forth
such beams of light, limited to
heritage such as earth i? Can
it be that those sublime feelings
which are drawn up from the
deep recesses of the heart, by
the beauties of nature, which
ever hover around our pathway,
and ever leave a something
wanting-can it be that they
bear no resemblance to another
state ? If this be the case, why
is it that there are ever flowing
forth from the soul so many kim
dred feelings, but to return un-
satisfied. If it be that these
broken links are not taken up
in another state of being, and
completed in an ever existing
chain of Immortality, what can
be the purpose of our present
existence. The order, andregu-
larity which is ever manifest in
the creation of an intelligent
first cause, arises at once in the
mind to contradict the theory
that such is the case. Could it
be possible that a being all per-
feet, who has called into exis-
tence a world so beautiful as
ours-should make his crown
ing work so far beneath all else?
No, we were created for far
higher, and noblerstate of being,
than any belonging to earth.-
Here bright forms of fairy beau
ty ever fit before our gaze, but
like a flashing meteor, a moment
here, the next living only on
memory's tablets. At evening
when the bright flowers lift up
their beauteons petals to drink
in the refreshing dews Of heaven
.--and gentle zephyrs watt their
sweet fragrance forth--when
still and hushed is each pale
star-and heaven look deep
and high--what a bright picture
is presented to our mental gaze.
Scenes like these are surely a
foretaste of that immortal state
which awaits our transition
The human heart is bound TO
earth by ten thousand golden
cords, as transcient as they are
beautiful, for here flowers bloom
but 10 wither, and hopes but to
die but among all the attrac-
tons which We find here, are
there none but floating, fading,
and momentary2 Yes, there
are those, which, like the chain
Of memory, viii be taken Up

there, a very worthy clergyman,
but very short in stature. On
certain Sunday, about eight
years ago, this clergyman was
invited by the Pastor ola church
in that village to supply his pull
pit for the day.
Now it happened that the pull
pit was a very high one, and ac-
cordingly nearly hid the poor
clergyman from view. How
ever, the congregation, out of
respect, managed to keep their
countenances, and seemed re-
ligiously anxious for the text.
They were not obliged to wait
long ; for nose and two little
eyes suddenly appeared over the
top of the pulpit, and a small
piping voice proclaimed in nasal
tones the text:
/" Be of good cheer 1t is +!
BE not gfraid.''
A general litter ran through
the audience, while the clergy
man himself was so confused
that it was some minutes ere he
could proceed with his subject.
