DEAD HEAD.-NIr. Williams, associ-
ate editor Of the Utica On. W Herald,
being out of health, determined re-
Gently to visit Europe on a tecupera-

At prayor-meeting held in Plymouth,
Church, Brooklyn the pastor, Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher, in view of the "umust judges
OF tho Supreme Court of tho United States
-rsod the following pertinent hymn, by Dr.
Watts.
Judges, who rule the world by laws,
Will ye despise the.righteous cause,
When the oppressed before you slands2
Dare We condemn the righteous poor,
Aud let rich sinners 60 secure,
Whilegold and greatness bribe your handsi
Have ye forgot or never knew
That God win Judge the judges too2
High in the heavens His justice reigns.
Yet YOU invade the rights Of God,
And send your bold DEGREES abrOad,
TO bind the conscience in your chains!
Th' Almighty thuuders in the sky
Their grandeur melts their titles die
They perish like dissolving Irosti
Aaempty chatf, when whrlwnds rise,
Before the sweeping tempest dies
So shall their hopes and names be lost
Thus shall the vengeance Of the Lord
Safety and JOY TO saints afford;
And all that hear shall join and say
4'Suro there's a 9 cd that rules on high
A God that hears His children cry,
And will their sufe rings we'll repay"

COMPOSED ny YOUNG SCHOOL GIRL.
Among the several ways which have been
presented for tile cultivation Of the mind, there
is one which, though all others may fail, is
sure to secure genuine instruction to those
who are Persevering enough to undertake the
task Of instructing themselves by their own
Persevaring labor, and bringing their minds
TO a high standard Of knowledge, casting aside
the erroneous opinion that it is necessary that {
we have access TO tho halls of learning, pre-
paratory TO becoming educated, useful mem
bers Of society. How many have reached the
tOpmost round Of the ladder of learning, who
never occupied seat in college. How did
they obtain their knowledge2 By persever-
lngIy applying their mental power, and resist
ing all opposition, by their own labor. Wher-
ever we find men filling high places in the
world, we find men who have depended chiefly
on sslf-instruction-who having been deprived
OF the advantage Of am instructor, having re-
lied on their own exertious and there found
a faithful teacher. That sume instructor is
given to every one, but how many thero are
who not having the means Of being fashiouu-
bly, educated, have lived life of Ignorance!

SPRING VOICES.

nv JOHN WILSON
Come forth, come forth! it we're sin
To stay at home to-day!
Stay no more, lettering Within
Come TO the woods away
The long green grass is filled with flowers,
The clover's deep, dim red
Is frightened with the morning showers
That on the winds have fed.
Scattered about the deep-bluo sky,
In white and flying clouds,
Some bright, brief rains are all that lie
Within those snowy shrouds.
Now ,lookI-our woathor-gloss is sprold-
The pimpernol, whose flower
Closes its leaves of spotted rcd
Against a rainy hour
The first pale green Is on The treos-
That verdure more like bloomi
Yon olm-bough hath a horde Of bees,
Lursd by the faint perfume
The sbefrv-orcha I'd filings on high
Ita branches, whence are strown
Blossoms like snow but win an eye
Dark, maiden, as lhine own!
Az vet our flowers arc chiefly those
Which fll the sun.touched bough;
within the sleeping soil repoao
Those Of the radiant brow
Bntgs have daisies. which, iko love
Or hope, spring everywherei
And primroses, which droop above
Some self-consuming care.
So sad, 80 spiritual, so pale,
Born all too near the snow,
They pine for that t.swest southern gale
Which they will never know.
II is too soon for deeper shade;
Bot Let us skirt tho wood,
Tho. o.blackbird there whose nest 10 made
Sits singing to her brood
These pleasant hours win soon bo Howni
Love, make no more delay
] am too glad TO be alone,
Come forth with me to-day.

Oh! Pm poor unlucky wight
As ever there was born, sir,
There's nothing in my house that's right,
'Tis lonely and forlorn, sir.
I've cash enough and pay it well
To keep my house On order,
But ne'er can got decent meal
Though plentiful my larder;
IT'S overdone or underdone,
Perhaps not done at all, sir;
No man had ever such a home
In all this weary world, sir,
My coat is at the elbows out,
no'er can get it mondsd;
My shirts are scofCh'd I'm ironing.
My vest to ribbons ronded
My stockings down unto the ground
I no,er can keep garter;
And IL they e'er get washed at all
It's sure I'm dirty water
There's nothing done that should DO done
And IL IT'S done al ull, sir,
lt better never had hesn done,
Than done so very ill, sir.
Go, get a wife,-tho old man said;
Nor sit We here complaining;
OF wedlock never bo afraid,
A prudent wilo's the main thing;
she'll keep your house she lmend yourcl otheB
And chat and sing the while, sir;
And when, at eve, you hasten home,
She'll meet you with a smile, siri
And all that's done will be well done
And done without complainngi
If o'er you'd have pleasant home,
A wiie,-a wife's the main thing.

THE Holy SABBATH.-May it ever
be called the holy Sabbath. Perish the
lips that would profane, the hands that
would tear down itssacred statutes-the
feet that would trample upon them-the
eyes that would see in its place day
devoted to vain show and pleasure ta-
king. Let it come ever with it's quiet
ude, its church-gathorings of high and
lowly, its many prayers that ascend from
humble hearts-its soft voices singing
its lessons Of lofty moral Instruction.
What is it to you or to me, that hypo-
critics so in among the throng that pro
fessedly serve Jesus? What that the
pomp and fashion of this world make
mockery Of the Savior's lowly life and
esteem poverty sin? What is it to you
or me that men sometimes fiji the pulpit
and raise warning voices, while they are
whitod sepulchres? Our duty laws be-
tween God and our own souls.-IVe are
to take the stern question to heart,
"What is that to thec?-follow thou
me" How mellowly the autumn sun
shines down! 1t seems as if the great
busy world were waiting to hear God
speak. Not sound in the streets, save
the low voices of quiet groups walking
to the house Of prayer.-From "Gracte
