Z" "l'ruubIcs nrv..r last for ever

Troubles nrr.r last Tor over
The darkest day will pass away"
If the sun is going down, look up to the stars /;
if the earth is dark, keep yours eyes on heaven
With Gods presence and Gods promises, man
or child may be cheerful.
Never despair when fogs in the air.
a sunslny morning will cme without warning"
Mind what you run after! Never he content
with bubble that will burst; or fircwood
that will end in smoke and darkness. But that
what you can keep and which is worth keeping
sSomtihing sterling that will stay
When gold and silver H.. away
IF YOU have III enemy, act kindly to him, and
make him your friend. You may not win him
over at once, but try again. Let one kindness
he followed by another, till you have compasscd
your end By little and by little great things
arc completed.
"Water falling lay b. day
Wears the hardest rock away"
And so repeated kindness will soften heart
Of stone.
Whatever You do do it willingly. A boy
that is whipped at school never learns his les
sons well. A man that is compelled to work,
cares not how badly it is performed. He that
pulls oil lis coat cheerlully, strips up his clothes
in earnest, and sings while lie works, is the man
for me
-. cheerful spirit gets on quick
y .rumblcr in the mud will stick"
Evil thoughts are worse than lions and tigers,
for we can get out Of the way of wild beasts
hut bad thoughts win their way everywhere.
Keep your heads and hearts full OF good thoughts,
that bad thoughts may not lind room
BE on your guard, and strive and pray,
10 drive all evil thoughts away"
An ANGEL IN MES's CLorHEs.-We read
and hear occasionally Of miristerng angels, "
and they are generally of the "gcntlcr sex. "
That these cannot lay exclusive claim to this
title, there is occasionally demonstration in the
Shape or some signal act of kindness performed
| by those whosc natures are supposed to hc
stcclcd to suffering. An instance occurred few
DAYS since in this city. In dwelling Oh Thames
street little babe, "thc lamb Of tue flock, p"
was lying in cnnvul,iolls, its parents looking on
with aching hearts at its suilerngS, and doing
what they could to alleviate them, with the aid
OF physician. Suddenly and unexpectedly a
stranger entered the door, nUisclessly and al
most unpcrccivcd, and taking scat beside the
little sufferer, called for warm water and COM

sing in the street, and seeing people hurrying to
anu from the hou.c and out, lie had dropped in
to see if he could be Of any service. Patiently
and silently lie prosecuted his labor of love, till
he had the satisfaction of seeing the little one
restored to consciousness, when he arose, and
taking his hat, departed as noiselessly as he
came, unknown, and scarce giving the grateful
parents opportunity to thank him Tor his kind
; attention and valuable aid. May the blessing
of HIM who said "Sner little children to come
unto me-" attend him through the journey oi

PRETTY Coop lIUNTING.-One of our citizens

which he helped to kill thirty-six deer, seventy
five turkeys, three leopard cats, two panthers
one bear, and about two hundred partrdges
