Death--A Wise Dispensation.

Death, instead of being the destroyer, as
the devil intended has been made the multi
pIicr Of the human race Had earth been
filled with a definite number Of immortal be-
ings, limits would have been fixed, 50 far as
this world is concerned, to the exercise OF the
Divine benevoence the same set OF beings
would have continued to serve and praise
Him; race unto race would not have showed
forth His mighty deeds, had not death made
room for new actors on the stage OF life
There would have been none of those delight
ful feelings and associations arising from the
relations of parent or child, or from the sym
pathies which we feel with the inexperlence
of youth and the helplessness OF declining
years. How different is the state of things
which God has appointed! Can the Chris
tian fail to appreciate its wisdom? We see
the death and entombment eff nature every
year; and every year we see the face Of ma
tue renewed, giving a fresh impulse to our
feelings, cheering US with the anticipations
of hope, and with pleasing recolections of
endless variety, combined with Underwriting
uniformity in the works of Ged. Thus we
pluck with delight the ripe and wholesome
fruit; and we view with all the pleasures Of
hope the buds and blossoms of the opening
year. In the same manner, we derive benefit
from the ripened wisdom OF the DID, and
pleasure and delight from the anticpationF
and hopes arising from the early prognostics
manifested by the youthful mind. Death
then, viewed as a measure of the divine gov
ernment, is wise dispensation. 1t multi
plies indefinitely the participants OF the di
vine bounty, and we view it with the full APP
probation of our reason, as applied to all thu
varied races Of animals and to all the natu
raj Productions of the earth,
Why should we view the subject different
ly when taken in connection with ourselves
In few briefly heetng years we see all tina
is to be seen Of life and any truly wise MAJ
might say with job &" l would not live al
ways" For he who lives longest only lives
to see the greatest number Of human mis-
cries and crimes. Death is the outlet by
which the earth is cleansed of its impurities
and cleared Of its incumbrances and Thu
event, 50 formidable to the cowardiness o
the sinful heart bears nevertheless to the be
lever the decided impress, not on y of wis
dom, but of absolute necessty.-PrOteStan

Tl)e Social Circle.
The DrunlEard's Wife.

1t is night darkness enshrouds the snow
covered earth; the ruthless winds howl and
rave in madening fury around her dwelling;
all the elements Of nature seem striving to
do their utmost to add terror to her forlorn
situation. She Is alone! health has fled,
wealth vanished, friends forsaken. Where
is he whose voice once blended with her own
in hcart-muSlc? where is he who few short
years ago. vowed before the altar to love,
cherish, and protect until death should part
them? Where is he now Look in yonder
Grog Shop"
The arm that once so lovingly encrcled
her, is even now raising the "Social glass
to lips which speak name he has long since
forgotten to homer | said she was alone
yes alone with dying child her frst-bom,
her on y comfort. And so little Ella died
few ever knew the anguish Of that mothers
heart as she bends over the lifcless form of
her darling babe. But angels come, she feels
the influence OF their presence and is cheered
Their gentle words Of consolation calm the
anguish that is burning itself into her being.
Faith, IN silver tones Of sweetest music,
points her to another world She looks, and
there beholds her child clothed IN robes of
shining beauty, with crown upon her little
brow; already she had joined the infant
choir, chanting songs of sweetest music. She
turns again to earth. Her feelings have
changed. Though her heart is sorrowful,
and her hearth-stone desolate, she rejoces
that the angels came for her child thus early,
ere she had tasted earthly sorrow, ere she
had felt the bitter anguish that must have
been her portion had she remained on earth,
a" Drunkard's child" She joys that she
went ere sin had faded the rose on her check
or dimned the lustrc Of that eye. She looks
forward to the time when she, freed from
EARTH y care shall join her angel-child in that
world where sorrow is unknown.

Heaven.

If heaven doth not enter us by way Of no.
lincss we shall never enter into heaven by
way Of happiness
If you would lay up treasure Of glory in
heaven lay up u treasure Of grace in your
hearts.
If your souls arc rich in grace, they will
be rich in glory,
The more you do for God in this world,
the more God will do for you in the world to
come.
As heaven is kept for the saints by Christ,
so are they kept for heaven by the spirit.
In heaven all Gods servants will be album
dainty satisfied with his dealings aud dispcn-
sations with them; and shall see how all arc
conducted like so many Winds to bring them
to their haven and how, even the toughest
blasts helped to bring them homeward.
In heaven God will never hide his face,
nor the devil show his more.
How can we expect to live with God in
heaven, if we love not to live with him on
earth
If thou lowest to worship God here below,
Nod "Jli take tines up 10 "oisAlP Nm 1poVe.
Thou Shalt change thy place, but not thine
employment.
Heaven is day without a cloud to darkcn
it, and without a night to end it.
We would be seated in the heavenly Ca
man, but are 10th to be scratched with the
briars and thorns Of the Wilderness
In heaven there is the presence of the
good and the absence Of all evil.
Grace and glory differ but as the bud and
the blossom, What is grace but glory be-
gun? What is glory but grace perfected?
We may hope for place in heaven, if our
hearts are made suitable to the state Of
heaven.
If there will be any grief in heaven, sure
it will be for this, that We have done no more
Tor God on earth.-Reo. j. Mason.

MEN AND WoMEN.-Women in ;neir na-
ture are much more joyous than men wheth-
er it be that their blood is more refined, their
6brcs more delicate, their animal spirits more
light and volatile; or whether, as some have
imagined, there may be kind Of sex in the
very soul, we shall not pretend to determine.
As viyacity is the gift of woman, gravity is
that of man. They should each of them,
therefore, keep watch upon the particular
bias which nature has fixed in their minds,
that it may not draw too much, and lead
them out Of the path Of reason This will
certainly happen, if the one in every word
and action affects the character of being brisk
and airy. Men should be aware of being
captiyated by u kind of savage philosophy,
women by a thoughtless gallantry. Where
these precautions are not observed, the man
often degenerates into cynic, the women
into coquette; the man grows sullen and
morose, the woman impertnent and fantasti-
cal. Taking these facts as a bias for our
premises, we may conclude that men and
women were made counterparts to one anoth-
er, that the pains and anxietes of the hus-
band might be relieved by the sprightinesss
and good humor of the wife. When these
are tempered, care and cheerfulness 90 hand
in hand; and the family, like ship that is
duly trimmed, wants neither sail or ballast

THADDEUs koscIusKo-During the Amer
lean struggle for independence, Washington
was greatly embarrassed by the arrival of
forel On officers, who expected nothing less than
one Of the highest posts in the army, and
frequently y, when accepted, proved unworthy
Of the stations ASST ned to them. Experience
of this kind, led Washington to be exceedingly
cautious in receiving foreign officers into the
service. AT this period, Koscusko presented
himself to Washington, fortified by letter
from Franklin. The first interview between
the gallant and generous Pole and the no less
generous Washington, is thus described in the
third volume of Washington Irving's Wash
ington, just issued from the press:
"What do you seek here?" inquired the
Commander-n.Chicf
ITO fight for American independence"
What can you do?"
"Try me-"
Washington was pleased with the curt yet
comprehensive rep y, and with his chiyalrous
air and spirit, and at once received him into
his family as an aide-dc-camp. His subse-
quent noble and gallant career, as an officer
in tina American service, is well known, and
has inseparably joined his name with that
noble struggle to which we owe our present
exalted rank as nation.
For number of years a suit has been in
progress in the courts of the District of
Columbia, prosecuted by his collateral heirs,
to recover the property left by him at his
decease in this country, which now amounts
to upwards of fifty thousand dollars. We
believe that a final decision has been rendered,
establishing the relationship of the claimants
and the validity of their claim.

The Passion for Display.

The world is crazy. The call is for show
show-and still show. There is not one per-
son in thousand, male or female, who dares
fall back on nothing but his real simple self
for Il power by whose aid to get through the
world, and extract enjoyment as he goes along
There is too much living to the eyes Of other
people. There is no end to the aping the
mimicry, the false airs, and the superficial arts.
And until people take a new view Of things
entirely, and resolve to turn very short
corner in order to live obediently to such a
view, the world will 60 on as it has been
going on for this ever so long and all Of us
will continue to chase bubbles only to see
them burst, mere water-drops in our hands.
1t requires rare courage, we must confess,
to live up to ones enlightened convictions in
these times. Unless you consent to join in
the general cheat, you are hooted at and
jostIod out of reach. There is no room for
you among the great mob of prctenders. If
man dares to-liyc within his means, and is
resolute in his purpose not to appear to be
more than he really is, let him be applauded.
There is something fresh in such an example.
1t deserves TO be set down as one Of the
oddities and curiositles of the age, The few
who devote themselves to such fine resolutions,
cam we fear, be counted upon the fingers
But STILL they are the little leaven in the
huge lump. The mass will yet be stirred by
the truth and simplicity of their examplee.-
When they shall succeed in restoring the old
times again, then we may begin to talk about
the reconstruction Of society upon a new
basis, and not much before.

Somebody.

Somebody's counting somebydy,
Somewhere or other, tonight.
Somebody's whispering to somebody,
Somebody's list'ning to somebody.
Under this clear moonlight.
Near the bright rivers flow,
Running so still and slow,
Talking so soft and low,
She sits with somebody.
Pacing the oceans shore,
edged by the foaming roar,
Words, never breathed before,
Sound sweet to somebody.
Under the maple tree,
Deep though the shadow be,
Plain enough they can see
Bright eyes has somebody.
No one sits up to wait,
Though she is out SO late
All know she's at the gate
Talking with somebody
Tip-toe to parlor door
Two shadows on the floor
Moonlight reveals no more
Susy and somebody.
Two, sitting side by side,
Float with the ebbing tide.
" Thu dearest, may we glide
Through life" says somebody,
Somewhere, somebody
Makes love to somebody,

How TO EDUCATE OUR GIRLs.-Instead Of
educating every girl as though she were born
to be an independent, self-supporting member
Of society, we educate her to become a mere
dependent, hanger-on, or, as the law deli
cately phrases it, a chattcl. In some respects,
indeed, we err more barbarously than those
nations among whom plurality of wives is
permitted, and who regard women purely as
so much live stock; for among such people
women are, at all events provided with shelter,
with food and clothing-they are "cared for"
as cattle are. There is Il completeness in such
Il system. But among ourselves we treat wo-
men as cattle, without providing for them as
cattle. We take the worst part of balbarism
and the worst part of civilization, and work
them into a heterogeneous whole. We bring
up our women to be dependent, and then leave
them without any one to depend upon, and
they fall to the ground. Now, what every
woman, no less than every man, should have
to depend upon, is an ability, after some fash
ion Or other, to turn labor into money. She
may or may not be compelled to exercise it,
but every one ought to possess it. If she be-
long to the richer classes, she may have to
exercise it; if to the poorer, she assuredly
will,
