Meanness Does Not Paw.

Hunts Merchants Magazine con-
tains the following paragraph on the
subject ofmcanness:
There is no greater mistake than
that business man can make, to be
mean in his business. Always taking
the half cent for the dollars he has
made and is making. Such policy is
very much like the farmers who sows
three pecks of seed where he ought to
have sown five, and as recompense
for the leanness of his soul, only gets
ten, where he ought to have got three
bushels of grain. Everybody has
heard of the provcrb of pennywise and
pound foolish A liberal expenditure
in the way of business is capital in
vestment. There are people in the
world who are short-sighted enoughto
believe their interests can be best pro.
noted by grasping and clinging to all
they can get, and never letting a cent
slip through their fingers. As q gen.
eral thing it will be found, other things
being equal, that he who is the most
liberal is the most successful in bust
ness. OF course, we do not mean to
be inferred that a man should be prod.
igal in his expenditures; but that he
should show to his customers, if he be
a trader, or those whom he may be do
ing any kind of business with, that. in
all transactions, as well as social rela-
tons, he acknowledges the everlasting
fact that there can be no permanent
prosperity in a community where ben
Gifts are not reciprocal.

Count Them.

Count what? Why count the mer-
cies which have been quietly falling in
your path through every period Of
your history. Down they come, every
morning and evening, as angel mes
scngcrs from the Father of lights, to
tell of your best Friend in Heaven
Have you lived these years, wasting
mcrcics, trcading them beneath your
feet, and consuming them every day,
and never yet realized from whence
they came! If you have, Heaven pity
you.
You have murmurcd over ailliction;
but who has heard you rejoice over
blessings! DO you ask what arc these
mercics! Ask the sunbeam, the rain
drop, the star or the queen Of night
What is health, strength, friendship.
social life, the gospel Of Christ, divine
worship! Had they the power OF
speech, each would say, 4 am mcr-
Cyl Perhaps you have never regard,
ed them as such. lfnot you have been
a dull student OF nature or revelation,
What is the propriety of stopping to
play with u thorn bush when you may
Just as well pluck sweet flowers and
eat pleasant fruits!
Yet we have seen enough otmcn to
know that they have a morbid appc'
tito for thorns. If they have lost IL
friend they will murmur at the loss, il
God has given them score OF new
ones. And somehow, everything as.
sumcs value when it is gone which
man would not acknowledge when he
had it in his possession, unless, indeed,
some one wished to purchase it.
How many love to prick themselves
with the thorns of theology, and live
in mourning over the knots and mystic
res of divine economy which men have
never been able to solve, for the sim
pie reason that God is wiser than they.
Playing with thorns How child

and of blessings also. to wander in the
maze of doubt, or the slough Of des-

Happy is he who looks at the bright
side OF life, of providence, and Of rev

growth is such that if he cannot i'm

THE HOMESTEAD,
By LADY SPENCER,

By LADY SPENCER,
1t is not as it used to be,
Whcnyou and were young;
When round each elm and maple treo
The honey sucklcs clung;
But still | love the cottage where
Ipassed my early years,
Though not single face is there
That memory cndcars.
1t is not as it used to be!
The moss is on the roof,
And from their nests beneath the caves
The swallows keep aloof.
The robbins-how they used to sing
When you aud were young;
And how did fit the wild bees wing
The opening flowers among!
1t is not now as it used 10 be-
The voices loved OF yorc,
And the forms we were wont to see,
We sec and hear no more.
No more! alas, We look in vain,
For those to whom we chung,
And love, us We can love but once;
When you and were young.

Solitary Musings.

II IS pleasant at Llmcs 10 WlthdraW
ones self from the cares and busy
scenes of life and seek the calm re-
treat,-to retire from the living, mov-
ing world, and commune with the
"unbreathing things of nature,"-to
leave the gay and giddy throng and
yield the soul to natures witchcry,-
to dismiss the unworthy objects for
which men are struggling and con-
tending, and drink the inspiring
draught as it comes yelling from ma
lures pure Divinity. O, it is salutary
to worship at Natures altar" fit
shrine for humble worshipers to hold
communion with their Maker" to
il" look through Nature up to Natures
God,"--to ocondcr, to admire, to adore !
Give me some secluded spot,--somc
lonely dell, far from the busy haunts of
men, where | can bow in meek sub
mission to the will Of Heaven and feel
how weak and frail am. 1t is good
to be thus alone, where no eye can
sec but the eye of Heaven, and naught
intrudc to break the silent commun-
ings of the soul with it's Maker. Here
it may hold converse with the best Of
Tcachers--the grand and beautiful
arrangements of nature, for in them
is an eloquent tongue; tongue that is
never still; tongue that tcacheth the
bland prccepts Of religion that stilleth
every passion, and clcvateth the soul
to the contemplation Of that immor-
tally to which all arc tending. Aus
picious hour this to withdraw the
moral powers from the active stream
of life, and in retirement to remedy
whatever is wrong, and improve what
ever is right. Whithcrsocvcr | direct
mine eyes | behold the utmost order
prevailing in the natural world,-the
seasons moving on in regular and I'M
interrupted succession, the planetary
worlds wheeling their courses in per-
feet symmetry through the boundlcss
fields Of space, all presenting sys-
tenn of perfect beauty and order, and
exciting in the mind the highest senti-
ments of admiration.
How beautifully indeed doth the
harmonious order which prevalent in
the natural creation illustrate the i'm
portancc of regularity and harmony
in the moral world Who that sur
veys the wondrOus volume of external
nature but reads in it beauties and
subIimities which can alone be seen
and felt by thinking beings, and which
will exalt and refine Lis sentiments
When | sec each part of the material
world harmonizing with every other
part, and all individually to the whole
collectively; when see throughout
physical nature such unity of purpose
and dpsiun-Surb q hpautilIl and har-
monious system of laws, without the
slightest clash or confusion when |
see myriads of worlds wheeling in
their orbits through illimitablc voids of
space, continually passing and repass-
ing each other without ever missing
their course, or infringing one on the
other, in their intricate mazcs and de-
ylous lahyrlnIhs, lam made 10 sec more
