WILLIs.o ON Dying. There is something
unnatural in,the painful and extravagant,
sympathy with which the dying are sur.
rounded. 1t is not such gloomy thing to
die, Tho world has pleasant places, and I
would hear in my last hour the voice, and
the birds, and the choice music / may have
loved, but better music and voices of nloro.
ravishing sweetness, and far pleasanter pla
ccs are to be found in Heaven, and / cannot
feel tnat it is well or natural to oppress the
dying with the distressing wretchedness of
common sorrow. j would let go cheerf1lly
from the world I would have my friends
comfort me, and smile. on nc, and feeling
willing that / should be released from sor-
row, and perplexity, and 80 up--now that
my race was finished joyfuliy, to my reward.
And if it be allotted to me, as [ pray it
will, to die in the summer time, would be
borne out in the open sky, and have. nv.
pillow lifted that might see the glory of
the setting sun and pass away like undi-
mlnlshed light to another world '

TELLING TIE TRUTH. endorse the
following remarks of the New York Home
Journal. An editors couch is certainlyno
bed &c roses: FsF irelsaa Sat
"Of all employment, there is none that
so taxes the mind, temper and flesh, as that
OF editing paper; none that requires a
nicer tact, sounder Judgment moro con-
slant application, quicker wit or kinder
heart. A churlish temper could never sue
coed as an editor, nor, a hasty one, nor an
unforgiying one. An editor must turn
himself inside out to the public. He cam
not be hypocrite any more than a husband
could be a hypoerite to his wife He must
expose himself in all that he does, as much
in selecting the thoughts of Others as in
publishing his own; and the better way for
him in the outset is to begin frankly
Whoever succeeded tolerably well as an ed
itor is something more than an ordinary
man, let his cotemporaries think of him as
they may" -r..
TIE clock struck ten; / seized my hat
and babe goodnight to all except the lass
courtcd; she came with me through the
hall; she stood within the portal, and L
gazed upon her charms; and oh, / lonced
that moment to clasp her to my arms..-
She spoke about the moon and starsAhow
clear and bright they shone; said [ tho't
the crops would fail, unless We had rain
soon. Then edged a little closer, put my
arms around her neck, and gazed upon
those rosy lips long SO much to taste--
Said |, my dearest Susy, Eli never rest con-
tented, if leave tonight without a kiss, I'll
grow dcmenteda Then up she turned her
rosy mouth, and everything was handy;.
quick from her lips l snatched a kiss, oh
Yankee doodle dandy! Then off for home
i started, i could NO longer stay with
light heart and brcechcs thin, I whistled all
the way, Hence learn this truth, We BASH
full youth, who seek for welded bliss, no
lass will love until you move her feelings
with kiss. ...f, sa .j.s.s sSg -
GET ESoUGH SLEEr.--We have often heard
young men remark, that four or Ave hours
sleep was all they wanted, and all that the
human systom required. The hnbit of going
without sufficient sleep is very siniurious.--
Thousands no doubt permanently 'iniufc tho
health in this way, we live in fast ago !;
everybody seems tp. be trying to inyert the
order of nature, If folks will persist in turn
ing night into day, it is not to be wondered
that few last out the allotted term of life. No
matter what may be q mans ocoupation-~
physical or mentalS-the constitution cannot,
last, depend upon it, without sufioiency of
regular and refreshing sleep. If mem will
