KINDNESS.


I How true it is, that ga soft answer turn
eth away wrath" and that deeds of kind
ness, in return for evil, are, as heaping Goals
of fire upon one's head. The rule of kind
ness is part OF the great law of Low e, even
ms pure love is part of the Divine Spirit
Kindness is as cheap as it is beautiful; it
haay be given in a look, or word. without
diminishing aught of wealth. With cour-
tesies, alone, we may illumine our pathway
aud pluck down blessings which no gold can
purchase. To be brotherly, to befriend,
cheer and console, as far in Us lie; these are
ihe crowning graces of humanity, and all
these are born oe kindness. A good-tem-
Pered, well-mnnnered person, is one of the
most beautiful and blessed things of earth

Lamartine suys-Oh! man! fear not for
thy affections, ahdefeel 70 dread lest time
should efface them. There is neither to-day
nor yesterday in the powerful echoes of
memory;-there is only always. He who
no longer feels, has never felt. There are
two memories-the memory of the senses,
which wears out with the senses, and in
which perishablc things decay; and the mem
ory of the soul, for which time does not ex-
ist, andwhich lives over at the same instant,
every moment of its past and present exis-
fence. Fear not, ye who love. Time has
power over hours, none over the soul.

A susceptibility to delicute attentions,
fine. sense of the nameless and exquisite ten
derness of manner and thought, constitute
in the minds of its possessors the deepest
under-current of life; the felt and treasured
but unseen and inexpressible richness of af-
fectiop. 1t is rarely found in the characters
of men, but it outweighs, when it is, all
grosser qualities, There are many who
waste and lose affections by careless, aud,
often, unconscious neglect. It tis not q plant
to grow untended; the breath of Indifference,
or rude touch, may destroy forever its delicate
texture. There is daily attention to the
slight courtesies of life, which alone preserve
the first freshness of passion. The easy
surprises of pleasure, earnest cAeerfulness
of assent to slight wishes, the habitual res
pect TO opinions, the polite abstinence from
personal topics in the comp any of others,
unwayering attention to his and her comfort,
both abroad and at home, and above all, the
careful preservation of those properties of
conversation and manner which are sacred
when before the world, are some of the Sc
crets of that rare happiness which age and
habit alike fail to impair and diminish.

NOBLE THOuGHTs.

/ never found pride in a noble nature,
nor humility in an unworthy mind. Of all
trees, / observe that God hath chosen the
vlne-a low plant that creeps upon the
helpful wall; of all beasts, the soft and pa
tient lamb; of all fowls, the mild and gmleless
dove. When God appeared to Moses, it
was not in the lofty cedar, nor the spreading
palm. but bush, q humble, abject bush. AS
if he would by these selections check the
conceited arrogance of man. Nothing pro-
duceth love like humility: Nothing hate, like
pride

SATURDAY NIGHT.

Ever welcome Saturday night has come
bringing with il rest--rest for the weary
limbs and aching distracted head. We all
feel 10 exclaim as does the writer of the fol
lowing little Saturday night sermon, which
we adopt.
aWhat blessed things Saturday nights are
and what would the world do without them
Those breathing moments in the march o.
life; those little twilights in the broad and
glarish galaxy Of noon, when pale yesterday
looked beautiful through the shadows, and
faces, changed long ago, smile sweetly--
again, in the hush when one remembers the
sold folks at home, and the little brother thai
died, and the little sister that was translated.
Saturday nights make people human
setfheir hearts 10 beating softly, as they used
to do before the world turned them into wax
drums, and Jared them to pieces with tat
toes.
ssThe ledger closes with crash; the IRON
doored vaults come TO with bang, up go the
shutters withla will click goes the key in the
lock. il is Saturday nIg ht and the business
breathes free again. Homeward, ho! The
door that has been sl ar all the week closes
behind him. The world is shut out! Shut
in rather. Here are the treasures after all,
and not in the vault, and not in the book
save the record in the family Bible and not
in the bank.
.May be you are bachelor, frosty and
forty Then poor fellow, Saturday nights
are nothing to you, just as you are nothing to
anything. Get a wife, blue-eyed or black
eyed, but above all true-eyed-get home,
4 r..
hold two, or two and half, and then get the
two or two and half in it on Saturday
night, and then read this paragraph by the
light of your wi fe's eyes and thank God and
take courage.
Saturday nightI'' family murmurs the
languishing as she turns wearily upon her
couch; tand there is another to Gomez
"Saturday night at last." whispers the
sweeper above the dying;" and it is Sunday
tomorrow"

A new usury law has just gone into oper-
tioD in Pennsylvania. 1t contains no re-
strictions in regard to the rates of interest.
The borrower and leRder may agree upon
any rate, and that shall be legal.
The London Times received by the last
arrival makes prominent announcement OF
the fact that it is now printed on one of

The --LATEST Go4p Discovery IN Iowa.
The editor of the Dubuque Express and
Herald, has received specimens Of so-called
gold, from Audubon county, which turn cut
TO be simply sulphate of copper--glitteriDg
something like gold bat utterly worthless.
The man on whose. farm.theY were found is
willing to sel for. a thousand dollars an acre.
We believe very. small quantities. of gold
have been found. in Iowa.. but it il. very, like
ly that most Of the alleged discoveries in thal
State are of piece with those in Audubon
