POWER OF THE HUMAN EYE.

George Pitt, afterwards Lord Rivers,
declared that he could tame the most
ferocious animal by looking at it steadily.
Lord Spencer said, "Well, there is a
mastif in the court yard here, which Is
the terror of the neighborhood will you
try your power on him?" Pitt agreed
to do so. and The company descended to
the court yard. A servant held the
mastif by chain. Pitt knelt down
short distance from the animal and stared
him sternly in the face. They all shu1-
dered. At a signal given the mastif
was let loose, and rushed furicusly to-
wards Pitt; then suddenly checked his
pace, confounded, and leaping over Pitts
head, ran away, and was not seen for
many hours after. During one of my
visits to Italy, while l was walking q
little before my carriage, on the road
near Vienna, | perceived two huge dogs
bounding towards me. l recollected
what Pitt had done, and, trembling
from head to foot, yet had resolution
enough TO stand quite sill and eye them
with fixed look. They gradually re-
laxed their speed from a gallop TO iroi,
came up TO me. stopped for a moment.
and went back again.-Roger's Table

a blow had been given.
''It is said that the failure TO raise
money 10 lift one of his notes killed
him!' said another.
"People will say anything" replied
Mr.. Bancroft, with assumed coliness.
Time moved steadily onward. The
seething spot on the surface of trade
where Mr.. Cartwright went down, was
obliterated by the on moving currents;
and he was scarcely remembered in the
business circles. where once his busy
face was familiar object.
But there was one man who could
never thrust aside his image; one man in
whose memory his presence was rank
ling thorn. Many times had he tried 10
pluck out this thorn by secret acts of
kindness to the family of Mr.. Cartwright.
But the effort only seemed to make the
anguish more intense: for the little he
offered by stealth contrasted so poorly
with the ali sustaining life deeds of a
husband and father, that he was sham
ed back into impotence.
The case was hopeless. That single
act of unkindness, so fatal in its conse-
quences, was done forever. 1t had gone
beyond his utmost reach, and there was
no surgeon skilled enough to extract the
thorn it had left to rankle in his memory.

WHAT I LIKE TO SEE.

1 frequently hear people tell What
they ike to see; if you will give me
room for it, L will tell your readers a
few things which 1 like to see.
1 like to see at the close of prayer,
or beginning of a sermon, in public wor-
ship, few individuals crowd through
the congregation with as much hustle as
possible, and leave the house. 1t shows
that they understand their rights in a
free country. and that they have spir-
it to despise the tyranny of good mln-
ners.
like to see people go 10 sleep during
divine service. Il shows that their con-
sciences are at ease. and that they are
not Jealous lest the minister should teach
unsound doctrine.
like 10 see the owners of pews keep
their doors carefully closed when stran-
gers especially if old men, are looking
for seats in the house Of God. 1t shows
that they are much wiser than the an
clients. Jews, or Pagans, who always
rose up to o stranger, and did reverence
to grey hairs.
like to see young ladies', in time Of
worship, whispering and tittering quite
cheerfulIy. 1t shows the excellence Of
their education, and their nice sense Of
propriety.
like to see professors of religion go
ing, on Sunday, from church 10 the Post
Office after letters and papers,. with
which TO pas away The evening. instead
of being again at church. 1t shows a
careful attention to their business.
like to see professors of religion is
iting the Theater and Circus, especially
on Saturday nights. 1t appears SO lib
eral, and is calculated TO prove so fully
their conscientious regard to duty, and
prepares them for the Sabbath. l like
this especially, because to gaze at the
buffoonerY of the Circus, and the min
ickry and low tricks Of modern farces is
so much more rational than reading the
Bible, or serious books.
! 1 like TO see people come to church af-
ter the services have begun, and then
pass through several aisles looking fol
seats, and when they find one, thank
somebody for it quite loud. 1t looks SO
polite, and excites public attention.
l like 10 see people stand at the door Oi
the church on Sunday mornings, talking
politics, &C., till after worship commen-
ces, and then push in, in crowd. Itap
pears so reverent. and adds so much to
the solemnity of worship.

OLD GORDON AND HIS LADIES.

age Of one hundred and thirty-two. All
the travellers who chahced to call at the

"where they wad see." she used to say,
'the auldest man i Baungshire-ay, in

day, about the close Of harvest, was
a young Englishman, who coming up to

HYMN OF THE HARVEsTERS.

We gather them in-the bright green leaves,
With our scythes and rakes to-day,
And the NOW grows big as the pitcher heares
His lifts in the swelt'rng hay.
0 hol feldl for the mowers scythe,
Hath ring as of destiny.
Sweeping the earth of its burthen 1.-the,
As it sung in wrathful glee.
We gather them in-the nodding plumes
OF the yellow and bended grain,
Aud the fash of our sickles' light illt:nes
Our march o'ef The ranq;iished plain,
Anon, we come with the steed drawn car
The cunning of modern laws;
And the acres stoop to its elanking jar,
As it rocks its hungry jaws.
We gather them in-the mellow fruits
From the shrub, the vine and tree,
With their russet. and golden. and purple suits
To garnish our treasury.
And each has juicy treasure stored
All beneath its tainted rind;
To cheer our guests at the social board,
When we leave our cares behind.
We gather them in-in this goodly store,
But not with the miser's gust;
For this Great All Father we adore,
Hath but given in his trust:
And our work of death is but for life.
In the-wintry days to come
Then blessing upon the Reaper's strife,
And shout at the Harvest Home.

A THORN IN THE MEMORY.

Harlly Bancroft was, in the general
exception of the term, kind-hearted
man. His feelings were easily reached.
and these gave. usually, a ready i'm
pulse TO his actions. But quick feel
ing has in most cases two fo'd range,
warming now into kindly emotions. and
now burning with sudden anger. Your
so-called kind hearted men are often be-
traycd into cruel words and even cruel
actions. But there is this merit about
them; when the heat OF passion subsidies
they repent, and sometimes seek to heal
what they have wounIed.
Such man was Hartly Bancroft
While the curr, nj of events ran smooth
ly along. the surface of his life reflected
the unyaryirg sunshine, but very little
obstruction suffered to ripple the waters,
and then their aspect darkened.
One day Mr.. Bancroft was sitting at
his desk, with a pile OF checks and bills
before him, the sum of which he was
taking preparatory to deposit in the
bank. 1t was late in the day for him 10
be figuring up his account; but he had
unusually heavy payments to make. and
the amount necessary to lift his notes had
been obtained with difficulty. Mr.. Ban.
croft felt both hurried and worried, as his
quick Dervous movements showed.
Just in this inauspicious moment a
man entered the store, and walked back
TO where Mr.. Bancroft was sitting.
''Good day. Mr. Cartwright
There was not very cordial tone in
the voice of Mr.. Bancroft, although the
other was customer and bought of his
goods freely,
"Good day. There was an embar-
assed air about Mr.. Cartwright.
"What can 1 do for you?" 1t was
only form of speech on the part of Mr..
Bancroft, or rather new form Of say
ing" "Dou'l ask me for anything"
Now. it happened that Mr.. Cartwright
was on that dPy in very eight place. :"
as ii is called. 1. was two o'clock, and
all his efforts TO get the full amount Of
money had failed Several notes had
malvred. and among therl. one of seven
hundred dollars given to Mr. Bancroft.
All but this he had succeeded in lifting;
and now frightened at TIE aspect of things
he had come very reluctantly, to his cred
itor, whom he only knew as kind heart
ed man. to state the extremity OF the
case, and ask check for the amount Of
his note as temporary loan.

LooKER On

The following passage on Shakespeare
is from lecture OIL the PHILOSOPHY of
Life" recently delivered by William
Winter. Esq , of Cambridge: For the
grandest human intellects there is no ex-
emption from the common doom. l
have sometimes thought how sad, yet
how sublime, must have been the emo
tions of that man whose privilege twas
to stand by the coffin of Shakspear, and
gaze on that sweet and noble face, when
death had called out all the strange
beauty which never lives till then. 1t
was worth life time to have stood there
one minute-to have laid your hand on
that broad brow, and started at the cold
chill; and, so pausius. 10 have called up
in memory all the magnificent creations
of his genius, and worshipped him there
in the silence and the gloom:
'But he is dead and gone:
At his head a grass-green turf,
At his heels stone"
So they all go. Man dies, but nature
is eternal. The seasons keep their ap-
pointed time; day returns with lis golden
splendOr, and night with its eloquent
mystery. The same stars which lit the
ghastly battle field of Troy, rough with
the dead bo.lies of ancient heroes-which
shone on the marble streets OF imperial
Rome, and on the sad eyes Of Virgil,
sleepiess in the living glow Transportation
the watch fire Of the angels, which
through centuries Of devastation and
csnge have still burned on increasingly
speak to us as they did TO Dante, and
Shakspeart and Milton, of the divine glo-
ry, the omnipolence, the everlasting
beauty and love of God!

SUNSHINE OF THE HEART.

Oh. don't 90 signing through the world,
There's sunshine all the way;
If you'll but DO the acts that e'er
Reflect the blessed ray.
1t glistens in the grateful tear,
That flows for kindly deed,
And quivers in the voice that sobs
Its thanks, for help, in need.
Itsparkles Oft in raliant smiles.
At tones, tuned in the heart,
And guided over the pages of life
With beams that never depart.
1t dwelleth in the loving look
That answers TO our own,
And swelIeih up spring of joy,
To selfish taste unknown.
IT smooths the rugged ways of life,
With carpets soft and light,
Woven of conscience free from frowns,
And impulse acted right.
1t cheers the darkest hours on earth
Steels under sorrows deep;
And even smiles above the path,
Tha. leads to dreamless sleep.
