What glorious thing it is for the human
heart. Those wbo work hard seldom yield
themselves entirely up 10 fancied OF real soI-
row. When grief sits down, folds It's hands
aud mournfully feeds upon It's own tears
weaving the dim shadows that little exerllon
might sweep away, into funeral pail, the
strong Splri, is shorn Of its might, and sorrow
beccmes our master. When troubles flow
upon you, dark and heavy, toll not with the
waves wrestle not with the torrent ! rather
seek by occupation, 10 divert the dark waters
that threaten 10 overw elm YOU, into thou-
sand channels, which the duties of lie always
present. Refore you dream Of il, those waters
" i'll fertilze The present, and give bir,h 10
flesh flowers that will become pure and holy'
in the sunshine which penetrates to the P1tn
of duty, in spite Of every obstacle. Grlei al
Irr all. is bu, selfish feeling, and most sell
FISH is The man who yields himself to the in
du'gence OF any passion which brings no Joy
10 his fellow man.

LABOR ODE.
Br ssoRaE W. DUSGY.

Tell sNsngs the AK, and forests bow;
The seeds break out in radiant bloom,
Rich haryests smile behind the plow,
And cities cluster round the loonr
Where towering domes and tapering spires
Adown the vale and crown the hill
Stout labor lights its beacon fires,
And plumcs with smoke forge and mill.
The monarch oak, the woodlands pride.
Whose trunk L. scanned withlightning scars
Toll launches on the restless tide,
Andthere unrolls the ilaR Of star;
The engine with its lungs of flame,
And rib Of brass aud joints OF steel,
From I.abor's plastic fingers came,
With sobbiug valve and whirlng wheel.
'Tis Labor works the mngic press,
And turns the crank in hives of toll,
And bcckens angels down to. bless
Industrious hands on sea and soil.
Here sunbrowed toll, with shining spade,
Links lake to lake with silver ties,
Strung thick with salaces of trade,
And temples towering to the skies.

TFor low spirits, We recommend a clear
conscience, fresh air, lois Of exercise, aud a
taste for flute. "And it came to pass when
the evil spirit was upon Saul, that David took
a harp and played with his hand; so Saul was
refreshed, and was well and the evil departed
from him." In treating diseases of the mind,
music Is not sufficiently valued. In raising
the heart above despair an old violin is worth
four doctors and two apothscary shops.
