Beautiful Extract.

Gu out beneath the arched heaven in
nights profound gloom, and say if thou
ran'st, " There is 10 God !" Pronounce
that dread blasphemy, and each star
above will reprove you for your unbroken
darkness of intellect-every voice that
floats upon the night wind will bewail
your utter hopelessness and despair. Is
there no God! Who, then, enrolled tha,
blue scroll, and threw openits high from.
ispiece the legible gleanings of immortal
iLy? Who fashioned the green earth,
with its perpetual rolling waters and it's
expanse of islands, and man! Who
paved the heavens with clouds, and at
tuned amid banners of storms the voice
of thunders and unclaimed the lightnings
that linger and lur k and flash in their
glooml Who gave to the eagle safe
eyrie where the tempests dwell and beat
strongest, and 10 the dove tranquil
abode amid the forests that ever echo the
minslrelsy of her moan! Who made
light pleasant TO thee, and the darkness a
covering, and herald to tie fire flashes
of the morning Who gave thee that
matchless symelry of sinues and limbs {!
The regular flowing Of blood! The ir-
repsessible and daring passion Of ambi-
tion and love And yet the thunders of
heaven and the waters Of earth are calmed!
They remain, but the bow Of reconcilia-
ton hangs out above and beneath them.
And it were better that the limitless wat,
ers and the strong mountains we're con.
vulsed and comingled together--it were
better that the very stars were conAigra-
ted by Ore, or shroudei in eternal gloom,
than one soul should be lost, while mercy
kneels and pleads for il beneath the Altar
of Intercession.

VOLUME 3.-NUMBER 8,
A Sendble Girl.


Some years since young lady remar-
kabIe for her maturity and good sense,
daughter of distinguished lawyer and
member of Congress from Worcester Co..
was placed at young ladies boarding
school in the neiglborhood Of Boston,
Her unaffected manner and sprighlliness
won the affections of many Of the young
ladies'. who were full of their kind offices,
until one day they inquired the ocsuPa-
lion of their fathers. Our young friend
preceiving the drift of their enquiries,
gave them to unders tand that ber. father
was shoe maker, when many. of them
were struck with horror at her vulgar or
igin, and a change took place in their
conduct towards her. She. however.
fully understanding them, remained quiet.
After while the father Of the young la
dy visited the school. As he was a good
looking young man, and they observed
the principal and Others treating him
with such great difference and respect,
the scholars were led to inquire Of their
instructress who he was and what was
his business; and on being told that he
was the father Of Miss H., aud that he
was member of Congress, they were
filed with amazement, and Immediately
made an attempt 10 renew their attentions
as formerly; but it was too late. She
looked upon their conduct with such con.
tempt that they were obliged to keep al
respectable distance, while those who
treated her kindly, without regard to her
fathers supposed occupation. were ever
afterwards her favoritcs. -Baston Jour-

Eg It is amusing, says the Boston
Post, to hear small politician who owes
his whole Importance to the influence of
the press, talk contemptuously Of news

proof Of the power Of the press than the
fact that it can raise such timber heads
into high places. Luckily single pull

FIDELITY.-Never forsake friend.-
When enemies gather around; when
sickness falls on the heart. when the
world is dark and cheerless is tho time
to try true friendship. They who turn
from The scene Of distress betray their
hipocracy, and prove that interest only
moves them. If you have a friend who
loves you and studies your interest and
happiness; be sure 10 sustain him Ia ad-
versity.
Let him feel that his former kindness
is appreciated and that this love was not
thrown awly. Real fidelity may be rare
but it exists in the heart. Who has not
seen and felti its powerl They only de-.
ny It's worth and power who have never
loved friend or labored 10 make friend

GROWING MEN.-Dr. W. Holmes has
shown what everybody knows that we
are as race deteriorating. But he has
not given us the reason why the New
England man grows smaller in bone and
muscle. Chemestry tells us i. is owing
TO the want of material in the soil to pro.
duce bone. Much is owing 10 our un-
natural habits of life. Much 10 the weak
ness of onr female sex, who do anything
but develop their muscular powers. But
the main reason why the race deterio-
rates SO rapidly in the Eastern parts of
New England, is owing tothe hard gram
lie soil which does not furnish limestone
sufficient 10 form the bones. In Ken
lucky, Ohio end Western Vermont, men
grow to large size because of the lime
stone formation beneatht the soil. Parts
of families have emigrated from Masse-
chusetts to limestone regions, and the re-
suit in the next generation, has been a
larger bone development in those who
left Massachusetts, than in those who re-
mained. Kentucky, Ohio and Iowa. will
grow great men. The finest figures in
the world will be found in the valley of
the Mississippi in few generations. In
door labor, so unnatural for men, will
weaken the vital powers and stop the
growth in large cities but the great and
glorious West with its broad praries, will
compensate for the growing feebleness Of
the Eastern States.
