Meanwhile the Spring appeared
With an expression of Gods love the
sun smiled down upon Tho earth. She
felt it, awoke from her sleep and breath
ed out her morning prayer in Tho silent
but delicious fragrance Of tho fresh
flowers. / would gladly know what
goes on within you, 0, Erthl when thy
birds begin to sing, thy waves to dance,
when thou arrayest thyself in 50 beau
tiful q garment, that even under the
shadows Of night the stars of heaven
and the eyes. of men look upon thee
with love; when millions Of small-wing-
cd beings arise from thy fower-beds,
and Gil the air with the harmonious muir
muir of their gay existence, when the
whole inspired nature is look Of love,
and a hymn Of gladness. I would know
if thou feelest the Joy which goes out
from thee, the infinite delight which
thou causest. What / know is, that
thou giyest new life to the heart of man,
to his blood a quicker circulation; that
thou deliverest his spirit from the op-
pressive grey winter Of life, that resting
on the bosom of nature, he can feel a
Joy independent Of all things else, a
pure feeling Of love Of life, love of
living. 0, that could lead out who
ever is sick in body or mind, on a Spring
morning, lay him among the young
flowers, let him look up to The blue sky,
and on the bright and living spendor
of the earth about him, let him feel the
warmth of the sunbeams, the healing
GOODNESS Of the air, all the sweet inhu-
ences Of life and of nature, which speak
to the heart like the voice of a friend,
| like a smile from Godl Certainly the
unhappy man would forget for time
the ungrateful one who has injured him,
forget the cares which are wasting away
the threads Of his life; even remorse
would here be stiaed, believing in for
giveness; the deceived would hope
anew; certainly the child Of sorrow
would before his death have few hours
Of undisturbed felicity, and when the
evening comes, he would still look back
on this Spring morning, and say, 81 too
have been happy upon the oarth"--
! Frederica Bremen.

Content is the tranquility Of the
heart prayer is its aliment 1t salts
fed under every dispensation Of Prov
idence, and takes thankfully its allotted
portion; never inquiring whether a lit
tie more would not be a little better,
knowing that if God had so judged, it
would have been as easy for him to have
given the more as the less That is not
true content which does not enjoy, as
the gift Of Infinite Wisdom, what it
has; nor is chat true patience which
does not suffer meekly the loss Of what
it had, because it is not His will that
it should have it longer Hannah

cauldron of boiling water. He was
Immediately laid upon a bed, an excl

laudanum, immediate relief ensuod, and
was maintained by continuing the same

PLUCKING A RAT.-Irish girls are al
ways pretty smart, but once in a while
they commit blunders. Their blunders
are generally so ludicrous aud funny
that tits impossible to get angry at them.
At one of the houses in this city, lives
one who has "been over' but a few
weeks. Lively as a cricket, industrious
as a bee, and honest and willing to do,
she of course is well liked by those with
whom she has taken up her abode.
A few days ago, one of the men, who
is something of practical joker, hap
pened to kill large rat. He handed it
to Nelly, and told her he wanted it cook
ed for his dinner. Nelly with a mod
est courtesy, took the animal and pro-
oeeded to the kitchen. A short time
after, the lady of the house had occa-
sion to so to the kitchen, where she
found Nelly trying to pull the fur off
from the rat, which she was occasionally
dipping into a kettle of scalding waterl
"Why Nelly what are you abOut?'
asked the astonished lady.
"Sure, an its thryin TO pluck the
feathers of'this thing ann" said she,
"for Mr., -- towld me to cook it for
dinner"
The lady soon put a stop to the per-
formauce, and told Nelly with all the
gravity she could command, that the
men had been playing a joke upon her.
"Troth an a joke it is, sure enough,
said she, 'for I niyer seen such feathers
20 stick in all me life"-[ Detroit Trib-
Iune.

large quantities of native produce; the other, re-
turning from the coast, was laden with European
goods. In this latter was an Arab who had visited
Gibraltar and other places in the Mediterranean,
