The Christians Parting Hour.

The Christians Parting Hour.
How sweet the hour of closing day,
When all is peaceful and serene,
And when the sun, with cloudless ray.
Sheds mellow lustre DER the scenei
Such Is the Christians parting hour
So peacefully he sinks to rest
When faith, endued- from heaven with power.
Sustains and cheers his languid breast.
Mark but that radiance of his eye,
That smile upon his wasted cheek,
They tell us of his glory nigh,
In language that no tongue can speak,
A beam from heaven is sent to cheer
The pilgrim on his gloomy road;
And angels are attending near
TO bear him to their bright abode
Who would not wish to die like those
Whom Gods own Spirit degns to bless?
To sink into that soft repoSe,
Then wake to perfect happiness?

The Cleveland Leader says that MIR.
Louis Smith, of that city, was informed,
while visiting Defiance county, that mas
todon bones had been found in draining a
small lake, near Clarksville. Mr.. s. exam
ined the bones and found them enormous.
- ''The bones of the leg below the knee
measured six and half feet in length, and
one of them weighed ffty-six pounds.
One of the bones above the knee was ten
feet in length, and weighed about one
hundred pounds. The ribs ranged from
twelve to sixteen feet in lengh, and tooth
from the lower jaw is said 10 weigh four
teen pounds. Judging from the proper
tions of these specimens, which were found
and in good state preservation, the ponder
GUS animal must have been nearly or quite
thirty feet high when living and roaming
about through the primsyal forest"

A SAD CAsE.-The Vermont papers
states that Tracy, tie Irishman recently kill
ed on the Central Railroad at Mortified,
was not habitually hard drinker: but on
this occasion he got rum first at Montpelier
and then at Mortified. When death ap-
preached, and the stupor of intoxication
was gone, friend asked him if he had not
"some message to send to his wife and
children. With clear but anxious look
be replied, 20 yes, / leave her nothing but
only the two boys and four pretty girls.
Give, them my love-ask her to forgive
me-tell her to take ns good care of the
children as she can, and be sure and keep
them from drinking rum. Rum has been
the cause of my DEATH"

II MAKE BEeINNINe.-Remem in
all things, that if you do not begin you
will never come to an end. The first weed
pulled up in a garden, the first seed set in
the ground, the first shilling put in the
savings bank, and the first mile travelled
on q journey, are all important things; they
make beginning, and thereby hope, a
promise, pledge, an assurance, that you
are in earnest with what you have under
taken. How many poor, idle, erriDg,
hesitating outcast is now creeping and
crawling his way through the world, who
might have held up his head and pros
pered, If, instead Of putting off his resolu-
tions of industry and amendment. he had
made beginning.
