WhatHODc Did,

1t stole on it's pinions Of snow to the
bed of disease and the sufferers frown
became smile-the emblem ofpeace and
endurance.
1t went to the house Of monrning-
and from the lips of sorrow thero came
sweet and cheerful songs. ...
1t laid its head upon the arm of the
poor man which stretched forth at the
command of holy impulses, and saved
him from disgrace and ruin.
1t dwelt like living thing in the bo-
som of the mother, whose son tarried
long after the promised time of his com
ing and has saved from desoiation, and
'.care that killeth.
1t lowered about the head of the
youth who had become the Ishmael OF
society, and led him on to the work that
even his enemies praised him.
1t snatched maiden from the jaws OF
death, and went with an old man to hea-
ven.
No hope my good brother. Have
it. Beckon it to your side. Wrestle
with it that it may not depart. 1t may
repay your paines. Life is hard enough
at pest-but hope shall lead you over
its mountains and sustain thee amid bill
lows. Part with all besides but keep
Hope.

The Reason WHY.

There is class of persons who are
forever murmuring against destiny, and
wondering why they fail while those
around them succeed. To US, the secret
of their failure is no mystery. They
are vagarists-dreamers,w who believe life
is a chanc or accidental affair, the results
of which happen, and are not the pro-
duct of fixed aud universal laws No
man except by chance, can succeed III
anything, who does not see and accept
life as =reaf problem, to be solved by
steady, earnest and consistent effort.
Life is not vague, shadowy, or underlined
it is actual, straightforward, and plain
all its forms and colors are palpable,
and by method and action alone its pos
sessions and triumphs are achieved
But bare exception of those who re-
gard life thus, and go forth with resO-
lutte purpose, ever fail. AS slow steps
when long enough continued bring one
to tho mountain top, SO perseverance
after definite possible object, will ac-
complish it.
Thousands of yonng men are ruined
by this skepticism toward the actuality
of life. They stand midway between
by chance and resolute action,
and life passes before them like a golden
IN ist, or "a dark, forbidding cloud. They
accomplish nothing because they have
no belief in purpose. They cannot
identify their lives, and therefore imag-
inc they have nothing to Go. How can
they but fail ? Providence abides with
faith and effort. The wheat springs not
up until it is sowp; the house must be
built before one can dwell in it; fortune,
as the gen raj rule, must be nodded from
the infinite material at hand. He who
sits on the fence surely will not pillow
his field thereby, nor need he wonder,
that his harvest in autumn is, therefore,
less than his neighbor's who plowed
sowed. The masses of failures among
men are either deliberate idlers or per-
sons who look above the labor adopted
to their talents nor disposition to do
fail because they have no definite pur-
pose in life.

Marriage.

Marriage is to woman at once the
happiest and saddest event of her life; 1t
is the promise of future bliss, raised on
the death of present enjoyment. he
quits her home-her parents-her com
paniors-her amusements-everything
on which she has hitherto depended for
comfort, for affection, for kindness and
for pleasure.
Her parents, by whose advice she had
dared to impart the very embryo
thought and feeling-the brother who
has played with her, by turns counsel
lor and the counsclled, the younger
children to whom she has hitherto been
a mother and playmate, all are to be for
saken at one stroke-evcry former tie
is loosened-the spring of every action
is changed, and she flies with joy into
the untrodden paths before her. Buoyed
up by the confidence of requited love,
she bids a fond and grateful adieu to the
life that is past, and turns with excited
hopes and joyous anticipation to the
happiness to come. Then woe to the
man who can blight such fair hopes i
who can treacherously lure such heart
from its peaceful enjoyment and the
watchful protection of home-who can
cowardly like, break the illusions which
have won her, and destroy the contl-
dence which love had inspired.

to the proclivities of Ike, who had a

meant the direction for good or i'll that
the boy was taking.
.sWell'' said the old lady, she isn't

of putting him into wholesale store,

bencfcious, though he isn't old enough

i Il meant morally tending" said the
visitor solemnly, strengthening himself
up like an axe handle.
"Yea," said c, a little confusedly,,
as though she didn't fully understand
but didn t wish to insult him by saying
she didn't yes, 1 should hope he'd tend
morally, though there's great differ
ance in shopkeepers, and the moral ten
derness in some seems good deal less
than in others, and in others a good
deal more. A shopkeeper is one that
you should put confidence into, but I've

What is your vocation.

Some writer allirms that every man
has s.a Gala mission-his own voca-
ton. He has something to do which
no other one can perform as well as
him self In this vocation he has no
rival There is some peculiar opening
which no one else can fill; some ground
which he alone can occupy. In this one
direction all space is free to him; there
are distractions on every side out one.
His peculiar talent and fitness is the
call. 1t depends on his own orsaniza-
ton; he naturally inclines to do so me-
thing which is easy to him, and W hen
done, it is done well. The more clear
iv he consults his own powers. the more
clearly will he discover that his work,
in some respects, will be different from
that of any other man. His ambition
should be exactly proportioned to his
power.
If in supposing that because in some
respects he differs from all other men,
and because he has power to do what no
other man can perform equally well, nc
fancies that he is mot i'll the roll OF
co nmon men," and must of necessity
he an extra ordinary person, he VIII be,
come fanatic, an enthusiast, anu win
spend his mental strength as one ''who
bateth the air.
Young men--there is one thing for
which you have call, vocation; that,
you can perform better than anything
else. Look to it in season that you do
not mistake your calling. Many an ex-
cellent blacksmith has been lost to the
world by certain individuals mistaking
their mission upon earth, aud becoming
very Indifferent lawyers, doctors, or
clergymen; many shoemaker no doubt
would have astonished the world by
their brilliant eloqunce and power in
the pulpit and at the bar, had they been
placed in u more favorable situation, and
under different circumstances early in
lite. This is a matter in which parents
have, or should have deep interest
Let them carefully study the mental
capacity of their children, their pee uIiar
bias, and choose their calling or avoea-
ton in life accordingly. Make the Sc
lection with all proper precaution, and
after mature deliberation, and then stick
to n-PhilndeLphia Argus.

WHEN L AM OLD,

f
When am old-aud, o how soon
Will life s sweet morning yield to noon,
And Moons broad, fervid, earnest light
BE shaded in the solemn night!
Til, like a story we'll nigh told,
Will seem my life-when l am old.
When, k.am-old, this breezy earth
Milf lose for me its voice of mirth-
The streams will have an under one
Of sadness not by right their own.
And springs sweet power in vain unfold
In rosy charms-when am old.
When am old, I shall not care
To deck with flowers my faded hair;
Twill be no vain desire of mine
In rich and costly dress to shine;
Bright jewels and the brightest gold
Will charm me not-when am old.
When am old, my friends will be
Old, and infrm, and bowed, like ME;
Or else, their bodies meath the sod,
Their spirits dwelling safe with God,
Thc old church bell will long have tolled
Above the rest-when | am old.
When am old I'd rather bend
Thus sadly DER each buried friend.
Than see them lose the earnest truth,
That marks the friendship of our youth;
Twill be so sad to have them cold
Or strange to me-when l am old!
When I am old-O how it seems
Lie; the wild lunacy of dreams,
TO picture in prophetic rhyme
That dim, far distant, shadowy time;
So distant that it seems DER bold
Even to suy-'When | am old!'
When I am old-perhaps ere then
shall be missed from haunis of men;
Perhaps my dwelling will be found
Beucath the green and quiet mound,
NY name by stranger hands enrolled
Among the dead-cre am old
Ere l am old-that time is now,
For youth sits lightly on my brow;
NV limb bs are firm, and strong, and free,
I.ift. has tho1sand charms for me;
Charms that wi n long their influence hold
Within my heart-cre l am Old
Ere Fam old-O let me give
NV life to learning hO,o to Ice!
Then shall l meet with willing heart
An early summons TO depart,
Or end my Ienethencd days conso:ed
by Gods sweet peace-when L am old
