ELOQUENT PAssAGE.-The following
$ from sermon that was some time since
livered by Professor Muller, of Halle.
i is very beautiful
Perfect love, will here on earth, never
have an Interchangeable home in our hearts,
but only sometimes come to us transient
visitor. There are only inspired moments
when our soul is all devotion, and self-de-
nal aud self sacrifice when we are ready
to live for our neighbors, even if they,
with coldness and enmity, turn away from
US. Single beams of heavenly light are
hey which fall into the dusk of our earth
" lie, exalting, quickening, strengthen
ing. But We are still too weak. too earth.
", N hold them fast in their entire puri-
and clearness. There is somethino
ever within Us that strives against them ;;
and IRON without, the want of love-tbo,
Injustice and hatred of other mon oras ~
anew awaken selfish impulses in orr so,'l Ji
Cur love is not yet perfect; and So thono lo.,
ever remains In our heart the remnants =,
selfish fear and sorrow.

RSy~ Married life. saws the Springfield

aa~ Married life, says the Springfield
Republican, has its trials and its sorrows.
Tempers may prove Incompatible, and
call for forbearance Fortune may be
chary of its favors, and enforce selfdeni-
al. Children may be ungrateful and
sting the poor heart that has pillowed
them. Sickness may come and haunt a
household for years But ask the poor
man struggling along with his debts, and
the weary woman, toiling early and late,
accomplishing the ruin Of all her beauty
and her buoyancy, if they would be pla-
ced apart could competence be given
them, and all their trials be brought to an
end. The answer would be, there is
something sweeter in this companionship
of suffering than anything the world can
offer from its store-house of joys outside
of it. and something which would make
even severer trials than ours only iron
bands to draw us more firmly together.

r FAD AND REFLECT
If there's an hereafter.

III tnerc an hereafter;
And that there is, conscience, uninfluenced.
And suffered to speak out tells every man.)
Then it is an awful thing to die,
More horrid yet to die at ones own hand.
Shall Nature, swerving from her earliest dictate
Self-preservation, fall by its own act?
Forbid it Heaven
The indulgence in secret practice is the most
certain, though not always the most immedi-
ate and direct avenue to destruction. Physi-
clans of all ages have been most unanimously
of opinion that the loss of one ounce of semi
nal secretions, by unnatural aid or emissions.
weakens the system more than the abstraction
of forty ounces of blood. One of the FIRST
writers on medical jurisprudence states that
three-fourths of the insane owe their maladv
to such abuse.
How important, then, it is for every one
having the least cause to suspect any trouble
in that way, to attend to it Immediately even
one single occurrences should be sufficient to
cause doubt, and much more so if the person
had ever indulged in the soul-killing habit

ted DR.. J. c. Young, in cases of seminal weak
ness, impotency, stcrility, nervous debility and

DIR. YOUNG addresses those who have in
jured themselves by private and improper in
dnlgences in that secret ard solitary habit

ness of the back and limbs, pain in the head.
dimness of sight, loss of muscular power. nal.
pitation Of the heart, dyspepsia, nervousness
irritability, arrangement of the digestive func.

ory, confusion Of ideas, depression of spirits
evil forbodings, aversion to society," sef-dis-
trust, love of solitude, timidity, &C. are most
of the evils produced.
All persons who are afflicted with any q
above symptoms should not fail TO call on u.

Champagne.

Written after drinking several glasses of Joe Knigh
"BEsT," by
JONATHAN r. sNooKs.
One song, boys, before we're going
Drink to the girls once more tonight,
Sparkling bumpers gaily flowing,
To the floods of mirth invite.
Who, but feels thrill of pleasure
Coursing throughout every vein
When they quaff the sparkling measure
Known to US as good champagne?
Who drinks of nought but brandytoddy
Never felt the genial fires
That tighten up the soul and body
When sitlery their soul inspires.
Tom and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
Woo the Muse to sing, in vain;
But up Parnassus' heights she dashes-
Onward spurred by good champagne.
Egg-Nog, it may do in season;
Mountaineers may do sometimes
But they give, nor wit nor reason
Never thrill the soul like Wines.
Cocktails, Slings, Punches, Peaches,
Strive they to inspire, in vain;
None of these the spirit reaches
Like glass of good champagne.
Woman's smile may often win us,
Woman's glances are divine;
But glass of Heidsick in US
Makes cen them more brightly shine.
When our souls are drowned in sadness,
Woman's voice is heard in vain.
But our souls will thrill with gladness
When we quaff thee, bright champagne.
Glory's voice may often call US;
For glory's laurels oft we try;
But glory dims when woes befall us,
And her laurels quickly die
But ambition asks no higher
Place in the records of old Fame,
Than we reach to, or aspire,
Meath the influence of champaqne
Wealth may many pleasures give us;
Power we always love to feel;
But our power cannot outlive us,
And our wealth from us may steal
But we've both, when wine we're quaffing,
And the sparkling goblet drain;
Wealth and power-glory, laughing,
All are found in thee, champagne.s~
Who the genial grape refuses
Son of Semelel vast not thy drink?
Ambrosia the name its richness loses,
And e'en the gods from it would shrink,
Could they taste the living gladness
Thou lcavst to thrill through every vein,
With its power Of glorious madness,
Nought can give like good champagne.
Then boys let us each one throttle
One flask more of generous wine;
Knock the head off another bottle,
And drink to the health of Joe this time
Nay he never feel touch of sorrow;
May he be free from care or pain;
May his head not ache on the morrow
May he always have lots of good champaign

"The quantity thrown upon the mar

Separating the Sexes in school

On this point, Mr.. Stowe, celebrated
Glasgow teacher, uses the following lang
uage:
The youth Of both sexes Of our Scot
tish peasantry have been educated togeth
er. and as whole tie Scotch are the most
moral people on earth. Education in En-
gland is given separately, and we never
have heard from practical men that any
benefit has arisen from this arrangement
Some influential individuals there meurr
over the prejudice on this point. In Dub
hin large number OF girls turned out bad
ly who had been edncated alone until hey
attained the age of maturity than of thos'
who were otherwise brought up; the sep
aration Of the sexes has betn found inJu
rioas. We may repeat that it is impossl
BILE to raise the girls as high, intellectually
without boys as with them; and it is i'm
possible to raise boys morally as hig
, without girls. The girls morally slevat
the bows; and the boys intellectually ele
vate the girls. But more than this, girl
themselves are morally elevated by tn
presence OF boys, aud boys are intel'ectu
ally elevated by the presence Of girls. Cir
brought up with boys ara more positive
moral, and boys brought mp in school wit
the girls are more positively intellectual
by the softering influence of the fema
character. In the Normal Seminary
Glasgow, the most beneficial effects hay
. resulted from the more natural source
. Boys and girls. from the age of two
three wears to that of fourteen or fiftet
have been trained in the same class room
! galleries and play grounds; without impr
priety, and they are never separated, e
