SPEAKING WELL OF OTHERS II
the disposition to speak well of Others
were universally prevalent, the world
would become comparative paradise.
The opposite disposition is the Pan
-dora-box, which, when opened, fills
every neighborhood with pain and sor-
row. How in;irry enmities and heart
burnings flow from this source! How
much happiness is interrupted and de-
stroyedi~-Enyy, jealousy, and the ma
lignant spirit of evil, when they find
vent by the lips, go forth on their mis-
sion like foul friends, to blast the repu-
tation and peace Of Others. Every one
has imperfections, and ir the conduct
of the best there will be occasional
faults which might seem to jnstify ami
madversion. 1t is good rule, how
ever, when there is occasion for fault
finding, to do it privately to the erring
one. This may prove salutary. 1t is
a proof of interest in the individual.
which will generally betoken kindly, if
the manner of doing it be not offensive.
The common and unchristian rule, on
the contrary, is to proclaim the fail
ings of others to all but themselves.
This is unchristian, and shows despi-
cable heart. s8

Wavy and bright as the summer air.
Like quiet sea when the wind blows fair,
And lts toughest breath has scarcely curled-
The green highway to an unknown world
Soft whispers are passing from shore to shore,
Like heart context; yet desiring more;
Who feels foflorn, e So
Wandering thus ON the path through the corn.
A short space since and the dead leaves lay
Corrupting under the hedgerow gray
Nor hum of insect, nor voice of bird
Der the desolote field was ever heard;
Only at eve the pallid snow 80
Blushed rose-red in the red sun glow; -
Till one blest morn.
Shot up into life the young green corn.
Small and feeble, tender and pale,
1t bent its head to the winter gale,
Hearkened the wren's soft note of cheer,
Scarcely believing spring was near;
Saw chestnuts bud out, and champions blow,
And the daises mimic the vanished snow,
Where it was born,
On either side of the path through the corn.
The corn-the corn-the beautiful corn,
Rising wonderfully, morn by morn ors
First scarce as high as a fairy's wand,
Then just in reach of a child's wee hand, ss1
Then growing, growing-tall, green and strong,
With the voice of the harvest in its song,
While in fond scorn
The lark out carols the murmering corn.
o strange, sweet path, formed day by day,
How, when and wherefore-tongae cannot say,
Whittier they lead us, or why we go,
Or whether our eyes shall ever see
The wheat in the ear, or the fruit on the tree,
Yet-who is forlorn? Gcorn
Heaven, that watered the burrows, will ripen tht

LAW OF NEWSPAPERS courts
have settled the following points in re-
gard to subscription to newspapers:
1. Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary, are con-
sidered as wishing to continue their
subscriptions.
I'd. If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their papers, the publisher
may continue to send them till all that
is due be paid. ls
Sd. If subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their papers from the office to
which they are directed, thcy are held
responsible till they have settled their
bills and ordered their papers discon-
tinued. -
4. If subscribers move to other pla-
ces, without informing the publisher,
and the paper is sent to the former di-
rection, they are held responsible.
s. The courts have also decided that
refusing to take paper from the office,
or removing and leaving it uncalled for,
is prinsa .fiacie evidence of intentional
fraud.
6. A postmaster neglecting to inform
a publisher when his paper is not taken
from the Office, makes himself liable for
the subscription price. af -

A touching case was presented yester-
day to the consideration and charity of
one of the good Samaritans who now
take care of the sick, relieve the desti-
tute, and feed the starving. A boy was
discovered in the morning lying in the
grass of Claiborne street, evidently
bright and intelligent, but sick. A
man who has the feelings of kindness
strongly developed went to him, shook
him by the shoulder, and asked him what
he was doing there. Waiting for
God to come for me" said he. What
do you mean y''-saidi inc gentleman,
touched by the pathetic tone of the
answer, and the condition of the boy.
in whose eye and flushed face he saw
the evidences Of fever. "God sent for
father and mother and little brother"
said he, "and took them away to his
home, up in the sky and mother told
me, when she was sick, that God would
take care of me. / have no home, no.
body to give me anything; and SO l
came out here, and have been looking
so long up in the sky for God to come
and take care of me, as mother said he
would. He will come, won't he !?
Mother never told me a lie." eyes,
my lad" said the man overcome with
emotion, He has sent me to take care
of YOU" You should have. seen his
eyes flash and CLEAN of triumph break
over his face, as he said, /" Mother new
er told me lie, sir; but you've been
so long on the way" What lesson
of trust, and how this incident shows
the effect of never deceiving children
with idle tales AS the poor mother
expected, when she told her son C God
would take care of him." he did, by
touching the heart of this benevolent
man with compassion and love to the
little stranger.-M o. Delta.

YEDDo, N JAPAN.-Mr Consul Harris, in private
letter to officer of the navy who was in the Japan
expedition gives the following descrptionof the city
of Yeddo:
I have visited the city of Yeddo twice, and have
had an audience Of the Emperor. passed nearly
str months in Yeddo during my two visits, and sue.
ceeded at last in making commercial treaty that
fully opens Japan to enterprising citizens, and
brings Japan fairly into the great family Of nations.
Yeddo is large city of two.story wooden buildings
The streets are generally wide and well severed, but
not paved. 1t is probable that the population is
between 600 and 1000 600. There is neither
beauty splendor to be found there The exterior
of the houses is the those you saw at Simoda
and Kanagowa, and the interiors are quite as desti-
tnte of furniture ornament Even the palace of
the Emperor is built of implanted wood, and is
equally bare of any furniture The golden columns
and roofs spoken Of by old writers have vanished if
they ever existed, and am assured by the Japanese
that their buildings and mode of living are precisely
the same that they have been for the last five hundred
years.

WHAT'S N "a BEARD.-A Paris correspondent of the
Courier des Etas Unis tells in substance the follow
ing story, as one of recent occurrence:
young man of Lyons, engaged in commercial
pursuits, had courted young lady of that city and
been accepted by her. With much difficulty he was
persuaded to sacrifice for the ceremony of betrohaI
fine and well cultivated beard No sooner, how.
ever did he present himself to his intended than she
grew pale nearly tainted, and finally entreated her
parents to postpone the ceremony. The young man
yielded, rather surprised but he still more so
few days later when the young Iady's parents called
on him to state that such was her present aversion to
the marriage, they were forced to beg he would dis
continue his suit. He consented ; but considering
the matter as mere freak of grlish fancy still enter
tanned hopes until he learned the Of this sudden
change.
When quite a girl the young lady had been led by
one her relatives to the scene Of public executions
aud the features of the criminal had left such ndelli
bic traces on her mind that the slightest circumstance
was sufficient to bring them before her as it were in
horrid reality. In the shaved vsage of her suffer she
recognized strong resemblance to the executed Grim
ina and soon felt that not even time could overcome
her horror and disgust

How SPIRITS GET THEIR CREATURE CoMFoRTs.-
The spiritual intercourse is certainly eulargng. A
spirit not long since waited on Judge Edmonds and
wanted to take drink through an earthly medium.
The Pawtucket Gazette relates the following incident
Of spiritual communication which quite exceeds the
Judges story:
An enthusiastic believer was relating to skeptic
the spiritual performances to which he CouId testify,
and among other things said that on certain ocCa-
sion the spirit Of his wife who had been dead several
years returned to him and seating herself upon his
knee, put her arm around him, and kissed him as
much 10 his qualification as she used to when living.
" You do not mean to say remarked the skeptc,
!" that the spirit Of your wife really embraced and
kissed youF No, not exactly that replied the
Of female medium, and through her embraced ana
kissed me
