during the week by foreign shipment, but the interior
has drawn largely upon us The West has taken a
large amount. Ohio, Baltimore and New-Jersey have
all required temporary help in making up their bank

nearly as much to Ohio, and We have heard the

The Laugh of Woman

A woman has no natural gift more be-
witching than a sweet laugh. 1t is like the
sweet sound of flutes on the water 1t leads
from her in clear sparkling rill and the
heart hears it and 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 pursuing that wandering voice to this
day.
Sometimes it comes to us in the midst OF
care, or sorrow, or irksome business, and then
we turn away and listen, and here it ringing
through the room like silver bell with pow.
er to scare away the evil spirits of mind
How much we owe to that sweet laugh =
1t turns the prose to poetry; it filings show
ers of sunshine over the darksome wood in
which we are travelling; it tuches with light
even our sleep, which is no more the image
Of DEATH but is consumed with dreams that
are the shadows of Immortality. GOdey's

LIP THcUGHrs.- Thoughts that are etern
ally on ones lips are like straws on the wa
ter; they rest upon the surface and are prom
inent to all but The utterly blind, but they
are too light to remain anywhere, and Aoat
down the stream of society till they pass
away, without leaving the slightest remem-
brance behind. But the inward reflections
of the soul are like the rocks in the bosom
of the ocean, they are pertinent, and never
exhibit themselves but to those who dive
deeply; but. when once discovered, they
stamp themselves in our memory until we are
willing to persuade ourselves that they are
absolutely nec1 sslry, as so many beacons to
warn us from the shoals Of error.

To the dark sea Of mans despairj

The Mothers Whim.

A CERTAIN lady had a child which she new
CIR allowed to be contradicted for fear it
would make him sick. Relatives, friends,
and even her husband told her she would
spoil the child, but twas of no avail One day
she heard him screaming with great anger in
the Garden. At the moment she ran and
ascertained the cause to be that the servant
had refused to give him something he wanted.
" You impertinent creature" said the mother
to the servant =" not to give the child what
he wants" BY my troth,,' said the girl,
"he may cry till the morning, and he'll not
get it, Enraged beyond bounds at this re-
ply the lady ran for her husband to chastse
the saucy servant The husband, who was
as weak as his wife, cried out to the servant:
" You insolent creature, do you have the i'm
pudence to disobey your mistressy' 90 1t is
true, sir, did not obey her. The child has
been crying for the moon, which he sees re-
aected in the fountain. | could not give it
to him, though commanded by the mistress.
Perhaps she can do it," A general laugh
followed in which the lady, despite her anger,
joined. 1t was a good lesson for her.

Evening Star.

Look, Anna, look and see that star
Upon the verge Of yonder sky;
I've watched its coming from afar,
Until its presence seems quite nigh;
Yes, from thy mothers window here,
| saw its first faint beam appear,
But now gaze with new delight
Upon its form so fair and bright
! cannot tell the reason Why
Wheneer that twinklng star view,
The tears unbdden fill my eye,
Though not the tear of grief It's true
peaceful feeling fills my breast,
As though an angels wing had pressed,
And seems almost to bear away
My spirit to the realms of day.
Perhaps while am musing here,
Bound by the ties of earth so strong,
The happy beings of that sphere
Are chanting forth their evening song;
Perhaps my brothers spirit, too,
Breathed forth his notes of praise with you !;
But from yon bright world afar
View nothing but an evening star.
From thee lesson will learn,
Thou brightest of the heavenly host;
That while lfe's lamp holds out to burn,
To be as constant at my post.
I'll strive to do my Masters will,
And every duty to fulfil;
And when | sleep beneath the sod,
OH may my spirit rest with God,
