Good Advice.

We fird the following excellent advice in
late number Of the London Comic Times
Bear that in mind:
If you have rich aunt, don't talk TO her
about billiards and brandy and water.
IL you intend 10 do Thing, don't change
your mind and il you possess a ten pound
note, don't change that. II you happen 10
say something in society which causes pam
ful sensation, you had better go oet for walk
for FIVE Minuses.
II you don't know what every body else
knows, you had better hold your tongue; ane
il you know something that every body else
knows, you had better hold your tongue loo.
Should you be talking to thin LADY, yot
needn't describe the party alluded TO as
"scraggy old maid." =.
II you require person 10 become securll!
for you, don't ask the man who promised III
would do anything for you when he knew ina
you didn't want anything done.
| Ifyou happen to know an author don't OWL
il one half The world wont believe you, ant
the other half won't think much Of 1t il the
do.
Don't say you never take suppers, exceptin
where you know they never give any.
Don't tell mother Of the faults OF her 10
vorite child. ..
II you wish 10 sleep quietly, don't prais
another woman while your wife is undressin
TO get into bed.

The Bloom OF Age.

good woman never grows old. Years may
pass over her head, but il bencvolence and
virtue dwellin her heart, she is cheerful as
when the spring Of life first entered TO her
view. When we look upon good woman os
when the rose OF youth FIRST bloomed on her
cheek. That rose has not faded yet; II will
never fade. In her neighborhood she is the
friend and benelaclor. Who does not respect
and love the woman who has passed her Gays
in acts Of kindness and mercyi We repeat,
such woman cannot grow old. She will al.
ways be fresh and buoyant in spirits, and ac'
live In humble deeds OF mercy and beneyo
lence, Ifihe young lady desires 10 retain The
bloom and beauty Of youth, let her not ylelt
to the sway Of fashion and folly, let her low
truth and virtue; and 10 the close ol life sh'
win retain those feelings which now make u
appear garden Of sweets--tver fresh an'
ever new.

Too Much Business.

This is world ofifexible commerce; moth
ing is ever given away, but every thing Isl
bought and paid for. II, by exclusive and ab
solute surrender Of ourselves 10 material pur-
su its, we ma erialize our mind, we lose that
class of satisfaction OF which the mind is the
region and The resource. A young man in
business, for instance, begins TO feel the ex-
hi!erating CLAW Of success, and deliberately
determines to abandon himself 10 its delicious
whirl. He says 10 himself, ~ will think Of
nothing but business until have made so
much money, and then will begin new,
life. l will gather round me books, pictures,
and friends. | will have knowledge, tas,e,
and cultivation, the perfumes Of scholarship,
and winning speech, and graceful manners
will see forei.n n countries, and converse with
accomplished men. | will drink deep OF the
fountain of clasic lore. Philosophy shall gide
me; history shall instruct me, and poetry shall
charm me. Science stan open iome her new
wonders. shall thea remember my present
| life of drudgery, as one recalls dream when

I'm soRRowfuL, I CANNOT SING.
Br rnr COTTAGE BARD.

Oh! do not ask me for song
NV heart is filed with wo,
And mirthful notes augment my grief;
must thy wish fOrego.
Where was time when not cloud
Ger cas- my sunny sky
When sorrow never pierced my heart,
Nor tears bedewed mine eye.
That time IL. .past-my youthful joys
Have parted with the years;
And I have naught but sadness left
An aching heart and tears.
I would shat could live again
The blissfal season 'o'er,
And feel the joys whichthen / knew,
And part withthem no more.
4 would the grave would give me back,
The treasure Of my heart,
That We right dwell forever here,
And ne'er be called to part.
Then could sing with happy heart
And while the hours away,
Then earth would prove pleasant spot
And life joyous day.
But she is gone and all is drear-
There is no Joy for me,
And have hung my unstrung lutte
Upon the willow tree.
NV hopes lie buried in the tomb,
My youthful dreams have flown,
MY heart with sadness now Is filled
/ walk the earth alone.
oh! do not ask me Of song
While sacred ties are riven,
But when my love and l unite
To dwell forc'er in helven-
Then will Itune my harp anew
To notes Of love divine.
And Join in anthems evermore
In that celestial cline.
