how happy the heart that can see these

lreshing 10 read such. Its exquisite beau.

"Why is it that the rainbow and the
cloud come over US with beauty that is
not ofearth, and then pass away, and leave
US to muse on their faded loveliness?--
Why is it that the stars, which hold their
nightly festival around the midnight
throne, are placed above the reach of our
limited faculties, forever hooking us with
unapproachable glory? And why is il
that bright forms Of human beauty are
presented to our view, and then taken from
us leaving the thousand streams of affection
to flow back in A. pine torrents upon oul
hearts? We are born for a igher destiny
than that of earth. There is a realm
where the rainbow never fades, where the
stars will be set out before US, like island;
that slumber on the ocean, and where the
beautiful beings that pass before US like
a meteor, will stayin our presence torev

INFLUENCE OF WOMAN.

II is better for you to pass an evening
once or twice week in a lady's drawing
room, even though the conversation is
rather slow, and you know the girls songs
by heart, than in a club, tavern, or in the
pit Of a theatre. All amusements Of youth
to which women are not admitted, rely on
it, are deleterious in their nature. All
men who avoid female society, have dull
perceptions, and are stupids, OF have gross
tastes and revolt against what is pure
Your club swaggers, who are sucking the
the butts of billiard cues all night. call
female society insipid. Poetry is insipid
to yoke; beauty has no charms for a
blind man; music does not please poor
beast who does not know one time from
another.
One Of the great benefits many men de-
rive from woman's society is, that he is
bound to be respectful 10 them. The hab'
it is Of great good to your moral man,
depend upon it. Our education makes us
the most eminently selfish men in the
world. We fight for ourselves, we ligh,
our pipes and say We won't 90 out; ".
prefer ourselves and our ease, and the
greatest good that comes to man from ,
woman's society is. that he has to think
Of somebody beside himself, to whom HI
isbound to be constantly attentive ant
respectful. @

Though swiftly Time, with rapid wings,
Has borne US from Old scenes we knew,
Yet memory oft the picture brings
In glowing colors back to view;
Thus early friends remember when,
They first as schoolboys met in play,
And yet, tho years have passed since then,
II only seems ''the other day.
The form of her we loved Of yore,
To whom we pledged affections VOW,

Though but in memory living uow;
OF that dark hair one trcss alone

Yet words in tina. familiar tone
Seem only breathed "the other day"
Those friends appear no more the same
That shared our mirth and dried our tears,
Or taught us chldhood's favorite game

But when we ask if they forget
Those memories of the past, they say
"Tho' time has wrought some changes, yet

Toll Gate of Life.

We are on our journey. The world

respects, like a turnpike-all along where
Vice and Folly have erected toll.gates for
the accommodation Of those who choose to
call rs they go-and there are very few OF
all the hosts OF travellers who do not occa
sionally stop little at some one or other OF
'iiem-and consequently pay more or less to
the toll gatherers. Pay more or less, say,
because there is a great variety as well in
the amount as in the kind of toll exacted at
these different stopping places
Pride and fashion take heavy tolls of the
purse, many n man has become beggar by
paying at their gates, the ordinary rates
they charge are heavy, and the road that
way is none of the best.
Pleasure offers very smooth, delightful

artful robber she allures until she gets her
victim in her power, and then strips him oi
health and money, and turns him off a mis-.
erable Object into the worst aud most rur.
ged road of life.
lntemperance plays the part of sturdy
villain. He's the worst toll gatherer on the
road, for he not only takes from his custom
ers their money and their health. but he
robs them Of their very brains. The men
you meet on the road, ragged and ruined in
frame ard fortune. are lis visitors.
And so might go on ennmerating many
Others who gather toll Of the unwary. Ac.
