Character.

a good character is worth more than
wealth to a young man. Ask him who is
confined in a felcn's cell. What would
he not give to be as pure as the dews that
fell upon him in his native place? He
signs for the smiles that greeted him in
childhood-a mothers kiss and a sisters
embrace. How he could put forth a
right hand and sin Alas, he listened
to the voice Of the charmer-he departed
from the path Of rectitude-he associated
himself with deprayed characters, and
now he reaps bitter fruits Of his folly
Young man the time may come when you
will leave a mothers fold ard seek your
living abroad. Will you carry with you
the influence of a mothers love and a
fathers prayer? Or disregarding par,
ent's counsel will you make companions
Of the vile and take to your bosom the
polluted One stain upon your fair
character may prove your ruin. We
pray you then beware. Let the shield Of
virtue surround your heart, and the
prayer Lead me not into temptation. .
be constantly on your heart.

BODYBUILDING REFLEcrIoss.

We have passed yer churning, and
learning the catechism, because we are
fearful of making this article too long,
although we might have talked of butter
that would not be persuaded to come, and
perplexities of a literary turn of mind,
and a head that measured seven and a
quarter inches when asked what the chief
end of man was. Boyhood is a green pas
sage in mans experience, in more senses
than one. 1t is a pleasant thing to think
over and laugh about now, though it
was serious enough then. Many Of our
present trials are as ridiculous as those
which now touch the risibles in the rec
objection, and when we get to the other
world and look upon this, and upon the
infancy of the soul through which we
passed here, we have no doubt that we
shall grin oyer the trials which we expe-
rienced when we lost our fortunes, when
our mills were swept away or burned, and
when we didn't get elected to the Legis-
lature. Men are but boys Of larger
growth.

NY Lost Bride.


She was a fair young creature.
AS fragile as the Hover,
Which opens in the sunlight
To wither in an honr-
A spirit pure and stainless,
Far . TO heaven allied
ghau to this dull and sordid earth,
And thus | lost my Bride.
Ny love could not detain her.
Its walls of living fame
Fell crumbling into ashes,
When the Death Angel came.
She was my richest treasure,
My glory and my pride,
Her love lent life its only charm,
How could / spare my Bridol
But / have sometimes fancied,
At holy eventide,
A form OF angel beauty,
Steals softly TO my side;
A sweet voice murmurs near me,
And | have yainly tried,
Within my clinging arms to clasp,
Oace more my lost Bride.
But azure wings unfolding.
The Seraph oar away,
And my sad heart is strengthened,
SO live another day.
And thus q years roll onward,
Their marks would not hide,
For with each deepening furrow,
I hasten to my Bride,
Her loving smile will greet mo,
Upon that Sunny Shore,
Her sweet voice sounds a welcome,
Above the Rivers oar
Il was not ours to journey.
For long years, side by sids,
But away in yonder Heaven,
I claim my youthful Bride.

The Parting.
BY H. s. JENNINGS.

I'm playing on the beach, fair one,
And thinking Of my dreams SO bright,
Which are real as the sun,
They give me happiness and light.
Your company have enjoyed
We've Joined In converse aod in song
Thus many a happy hour improved,
And never thought the moments long.
Each rose we're told must have its thorn.
Here we may look to see one start
~Yourscompany the rose has borne,
The thorn | find is that we part.
If friendships parting gives such pain,
As | have found it does impart,
Save me from parting whsn the chain
Or cord of love winds round the heart.
Methinks 1 could hardly endure
The pain that such a thing would give,
| would be sick-without a cure
It follows then i'd cease to live.
Chen save me from the bonds Of love.
Until s%ecurity you give,
Then with some one my heart may rove,
And | in happiness can 1.-Two.

gA shilling Testament purchased

glA shilling Testament purchased
in New Orleans previous to the Mexican
war, o only saved the life of the pos.
SCISSOR, but was the means of saving his
soul. 1t was in this way. A young Till
nois girl purchased a small Testament for
four dozen eggs at three cents per dozen.
When her brother was about to start for
Mexico as a volunteer, she put it into his
vest pocket. There it remained, wrap.
ped in the same paper and same pocket,
until the battle of Buena Vista, when the
wearer received a wound through the
Testament, which broke the force of
the bullet, which lodged in his breast
and sent him to the hospital. There he
read his book and the last time | saw
him, he was in an Illinois college, prepar-
ing for the pulpit, or rather for a mis-
sionary field in the Methodist church.

Gg~ A gentleman was walking down
the street, the other day, when he saw
two boys on the sidewalk apparently
searching for something. One of the
boys remarked, just as he reached them
Well, ten dollars is worth hunting
after"
So the gentleman stopped and searched
awhile. Finely he got tired and said to
the boys:
f" Have you lost a ten dollar note 2"
"No, sir" said they but we didn't
know but what we could find one"
