HUMAN ELEVATION.

81 know, ''said Charming, "but one ele.
waiting of human being, and that is Ele-
ovation of Soul. Without this, it matter:
nothing where a man stands, or what he
possesses; and with it, he towers; he is
one Of Gods nobility-no matter whai
place he holds in the social scale. There
are not different kinds of dignity for diff
ferent orders of men, but one and the
same to all. The only elevation of hu
man being, consist in the exercise, growth
and energy of the higher principles and
powers of its soul. A bird may be shot
upward TO the skies by foreign force,
but it rises, in the true sense of the word
only when it spreads IFS own wings, and
scars by its own living power. So when
man may be thrust upward in con-
spicuous place by outward accidents, he
will rise only so far as he exerts himself,
and expands his best faculties. and as
cends by free effort, to a nobler region
of thought and action

MARRTAGE.-If 1 were talking to my
own daughter, wouli entreat her nev
er allow herself to dwell upon marriage
as an object of life. Dignity and delica.
cy sink, cannot say how rapidly, when
ozce that idea takes possession of the
mind; and as for happiness, there is no
more miserable being in existence than
a woman, past the excitement of youth,
aiming at being married, for the sake of
being married. She becomes more and
more dissatisfied and envious, and neg
lectful of present duties. May you new
er become what l have seen many 9TH
ers, solely from the indulgence of this
one false, degrading principle.

The LAUGH OF WoMAN.-A woman
has no natural gift more bewitching than
a sweet laugh. 1t is like the sweet
sound of flutes on the water. II leads
from her in clear sparkling rill; and
the heart that hears il, feels as if bathed
in The cool, exhilerating spring. Have
you ever pursued an unseen fugitive
through trees, led on by fairy laugh,
now here, now there, now lost, now
found. We have. And we are pursu-
ing that wandering voice to day.
Sometimes it comes to US in the midst
of care or SORROW, of irksome business,
and then we turn away and listen, and
hear it ringing through The room like a
silver bell, with power to scare away the
evil spirits of mind.
How much we owe to that sweet
laugh /! 1t turns the prose into poetry ;
it filings showers OF sunshine over the
darksome wood in which we are travel
ing; it touches even our sleep, which
is no more the image of death, but is
consumed with dreams that are the shad-
ows of immortality.

INDEPENDENCE THE CHIEF VALUE
OF MONEY.

OF II O n Ely.
The "Criterion," in a review Of oul
''Lives of American Merchants" quote;
the maxim of Peter c. Brooks, one of the
subjects of that work, viz: "7Hs aoAolt
valUe of a5ea1h consists an tie personal in
dependence, Il Secures, "a maxim, says
the "0riterion," that observes TO be
placed on every book in which mercan.
tile transactions are recorded" We find
in one of our exchanges an amusing and
singular illustration of the Merchant
maxim. too good to be lost. 1t is this
A man named Porter say he once had
clergycal friend between whom and
himself there existed great intimacy.
Every Saturday night, as Porter was
sitting balancing his cash, note would
come, requesting 'fhe loan Of a fve-dol-
lar BILL" The money was always re.
turned punctually al eight O'Clock Mon.
day morning But what puzzled the lender
was, the parson always returned the very
identical note he borrowed Since he
had discovered this fact he made private
marks on the note: still the same was
handed back on Monday morning. One
Saturd ay evening Porter sent fve-dol-
lar gold piece, instead of a note, and
marked it. Sill the very same coin was
returned on the Mondays Porter got
nervous and bilious about it: he could
not sleep at night for thinking about it ;
he would awake his wife in the middle of
the night, and ask her what she thought
of such strange occurrence. He was
fast boiling over with curiosity, when a
note came from the reverend borrower,
asking for loan Of ten dollars. A bril-
liant thought struck our friend. He put
on his great coat, resolving to call and
demand an explanation of the mystery.
When he was shown into his friends
study he found him plunged in the pro-
foundest melancholy.
''Mr. -" said our friend, ''if you
will answer me one question, 1 will let
you have the zen dollars.
"How does it happen that you always
repay rae the money you borrow on the
Saturday night in the very same coin or
note on Monday ?"
The parson raised his hand, and after
violent struggle, as though he were
about to unveil the boarded mystery of
his soul, said, in faltering tones, "Por-
Ter, you are gentleman, scholar,
Christian, and New Yorker-I know l
can rely on your inviolable secrecy
Listen to the secret Of my eloquence.
You know that am poor, and when 1
have bought ny Sunday dinner, have
seldom red cent left in my pocket
Now maintain that no man can preach
the Gospel and blow up his congregation
without he has something in his
pockets to inspire him with confidence.
l have therefore borrowed FIVE dollars of
you every Saturday, that might feel it
occasionally as 1 preached on Sunday
You know how independently L do
preach--how l make the rich shake in
their shoes. Well, it is all owing to my
knowing that have a fye-dollar bill in
my pocket. OF course, never having to
use it for any other purpose, it is not
changed, but invariably returned to you
the next morning. Now, as Mr.. George
Law is coming to hear me preach to-
I thought l would try the ef-
feet of ten-dollar bill sermon on him.
