The absent.

Of all the exercises of the unfettered
mind, perhaps none is attended with a
more benign influence than that of indul-
ging in kind remembrance of the absent.
Every loving word that fell from the
lips of the absent is treasured with ten
derness. Each act is recollected with af-
fection. We look forward to meeting
with unbounded happiness. 81
Have we parted In nanger? Time soft
ems us into Indifference least into a
quiet acknowledgement of past friend
ship. Have we parted in silence or es-
arrangement? This, too, wears away, and
we meet again to forget the past in future
communions. Have we parted in grief
The sorrow is mutually borne, and ten
derly consigned to the corner Of our hearts
devoted to the absent sharer.
Have we parted in love? No Joy so
great as the remembrance of ,it-none
even SO sacred or delightful as the re-
union. -.r a+F t,,- .-r
Have we been parted by death? All
the affection that travels with the flown
spirit to its home in the realms of light
The changed but ever increased sacred
ness of the love that bound us on earth, is
now freed from its alloy, while the unfet-
tered spirit hovers near, to watch over US
and bear the incense of truthful and puri-
fed affection on the wings of enduring
love. Absent from sight, to the spirit
ever near-no shade Of earth mingles in
the holy office of a ministering angel,
whose sweet Influence is like the gentle
dew upon the fragrant flower, which ex-
hales perfume unseen but ever grateful
to the perception of the inborn spirit.

True Life.

The mere lapse of years is not life
To eat, drink, and sleep; to be exposed to
darkness and the light; to pace round in
the mill of habit, and turn the wheel of
wealth, to make reason our book-keeper
and turn thought in an implement of
trade-this is not life. In all this, but a
poor fraction of the consciousness Of hu-
manity is awakened; and the sanctities
still lumber which makes it most worth
while to live. knowledge, truth, love,
beauty, goodness, faith, alone can give
vitality to the mechanism Of existence
the laugh of mirth which vibrates through
the heart; the tears that freshen the dry
waste within; themusio that brings child
hood balk; the prayer that calls the future
near; the doubt which makes us mediate;
the death that startles us with mystery;
the anxiety that ends in trust-are true
nourishment of our natural being.

LOngeyitt in InteIleetual Pursuits

In all ages of the world, philosophers,
divines, naturalists, statesmen, and other
men, whose studies and avocationx were
especially calculated to develope and
maintain the supremacy of the moral and
intellectual powers, have been proverbial-
" long-lived. In this connection we may
name, among the ancients, Homer, Hip
pocrates, Pythagoras, Thales, Xenophon,
Carneades, Sophocles, Zeno, Galen, De-
mocritus; and among the moderns, Locke,
Newton, Calico, Boyle, Leibnitz, Button,
Oilers; Blumenbach, Hahnemann, Swe-
denborg, Sir Edward Coke, and Fonte-
nellie. All Of, the persons thus named
were distinguished by active and labori-
Gus habits, and some Of them were intense
if not Incorporate workers. The expe-
riencel of a host of men renowned for
great attainments in morals, theology, and
various departments of science, proves
that an immense amount of mental labor
can be accomplished by an individual Of
good natural capacity, when the propensi-
ties are harmoniously balanced. and an
even, cheerful, hopefl Spirit constantly
cherished and maintained.

Punctuation Puzzle.

The following paragraph, extracted
from the Portland Transcript, is capital
illustration of the Importance of punctua-
ton There are two ways of pointing it,
one, of which makes the individual in
question monster of wickenesS, while
the other convert him into model christ
ian. Let our readers exercise their inge-
nuity on the problem, and see if they can
discover Its two-fold solution:
'::He is an old and experienced man in
vice and wickedness he is never found op-
posing the works Of iniquity he takes de-
light in the downfall of the neighborhood
he never rejoices in the prosperity of any
of his fellow creatures he is always ready
toassist in destroying the peace of society
he takes no pleasure in serving the Lord
he is uncommonly diligent in sowing dis
cord among his friendSand acquaintances
he takes no pride in laboring to promote
the cause Of christianity he has not been
negligent in endeavoring TO stigmatize all
public teachers he makes no exertions tC
subdue his evil passions he strives hard .tc
build up Satan's kingdom he lends no aid
to support the gospel among the heather
he contributes largely TO the evil adver.
sary he pays no attention to good advice
he gives great heed to the devil he viii
never go to heaven he must go where he
will receive the just recompense of re
ward" r

Occupation.

Occupation! what glorious thing it is
for a human heart. Those who work
hard seldom yield themselves entirely up
to fancied or real sorrow. When grief
sits down, folds itf hands, and mournfully
feeds upon Its own tears, weaving the
dim shadows that little exertion might
sweep away, into a funeral pail, the
strong spirit is shorn of It's might, and
sorrow becomes our master. When trou-
bles flow upon you, dark and heavy, toll
not with the waves -wrestle not with the
torrent-rather seek by occupation to di-
vert the dark waters, that threaten to
overwhelm you, into thousand channels
which the duties of life always present.
Before you dream of it, those waters will
fertilize the present, and give berth to
fresh flowers that they may brighten the
future-fowers that will become pure and
holy, in the sunshine which penetrates to
the path Of duty, in spite of every obstacle.
Grief, after all, is but a selfish feeling,
and most selfish is the man who yield:
himself to the indulgence Of any passion
which brings no Joy tohis fellow men.

Food for Thinkers.
A Cure for Bad Temper.


A cheerful temper-not occasionally,
but habitually cheerful-is a quality that
no wise man would be willing to dispense
with IN choosing a wife. 1t is like a good
fire in winter, difFusiVe and genial ia its
influence, and always approached with a
consciousness that it win comfort and do
good. Attention to health is one great
means Of maintaining this excellent trait
unimpaired, and attention 10 household
affairs, IS another. The state of body
which women call bilious, is most inimi-
cal to habitual cheerfulness, and that
which girls call having nothing to do, is
equally so, let me entreat my young rea-
ders, if they feel tendency to melan-
choly, if they are affected with cold feet
and headache, above all, with impatience
and irratability, sothat they can scarcely
make a pleasant reply when spoken to;
let me .entreat them to make trial Of a
system am recommending-not simply
to run into the kitchen and trife with the
servants, but to set about something that
will add to the general comfort of the IA
mily, andlthat will, at the same time, re
ieYe some, member Of the family of por-
ton of daily toll. ] fear it is very un-
romantic conclusion to come to, but my
firm conviction is, that half the miseries
of young women, and half their il-temperS
might be thus avoided. -r-..
