TEEE WINTER OF THE HEART.

Let It never come upon you. Live SO that
good angels may protect you from this terrible
evil--the winter of the heart.
Let no chilling influence freeze up the
foundations of sympathy and happiness from its
depths; no cold burthen settle over its wlther-
ed hopes, like snow on the faded flowers !, no
rude blasts of discomfort moan and shrek,
through its desolate chambers.
Your life path may lead you amid trials'
which for a time seems utterly to impede your
progress, and shut out the very light of heaven
from your anxious gaze.
Penury may take the place of ease and plen-
ty; your luxurious home may be exchanged for
a single low room, the soft couch for straw
pallet-the rich yiands for the coarse food of
the poor. Summer friends may forsake you,
and the Implying world pass you with scarce
ly word of compassion.
You may be forced to toll YEARLY, steadily
on, to earn livelihood you may encounter
fraud and base avarice which would extort the
last farthiug, till you vol nigh turn in disgust
from your fellow beings.
Death may sever the dear ties that bind you
to the earth and leave you in fearful darkness.
The noble manly boy, the solo hope of your de-
clinlng years, may be taken from you, while
your spirit clings to him with wild tenacity
which even the shadow of the tomb cannot
wholly subdue.
But amid all the sorrows, do not come to
the conclusion that nobody was ever SO deeply
afflicted as you are, and abandon eyefy sweet

anticipation of .bettor days" in the unknown
future.
Do not lose your faith in human excellence
because your confidence has been betrayed, nor
believe that friendship is only delusion, and
love bright phantom which ghdes away from
your grasp.
Do not think you are fated to be miserable
because you are disappointed in your expec ia
tions. aud bsffied il your pursuits. Do not
declare that GOD has forsaken you, when your
way is hedged with thorns, or repine sinfully
when he calls your dear ones TO the land be-
you'd the grave.
Keep holy trust iu Heaven through every
trial; bear adversely with fortitude, and book
upward in hours of temptation and suffering.
WheE your locks are white, your steps falter
on toe verge of Deaths gloomy vale, still re-
tain the freshness and buoyancy Of spirit,
which would shield you from the winter Of the
h9art.

AMERICAN CHARACTER.

The character of the American is stamped
with many and bold peculiarities. Schooled or
uuschooled, he never lacks capacity TO accom-
plish what he undertakes-whatevcr is possible
to man. lie has instructive ingenuity which
devises new ways to accomplish everything his
disposition is to cut loose from the antique and
customary. Nothing delights him 50 much as
experiment and hazard, and experiment he will,
though the price be humiliation What has

HYMN.

Great Goi of nations; now to tEcc
Our hymn Of gratitude We tlis,;
With humble heart, and bending kpee,
We off-r thee our song Of praise.
Thy name we bless, almighty Col,
For all the kindness thou hast shown
To this fair land the pilgrims trod-
This land W. fondly call our own.
Here freedom spreads her banner wide,
And casts her soft and hallow'd ray;
Here thou our fathers steps didst guide
In safety through their dang way.
Wepraise thee that the gospels light
Through all our land its Alliance sheds;
Dispels the shades of errors night,
And heavenly blessings round US spreads
Great God, preserve US in thy fear;
In danger still oui guardian he;
o, spread thy truths bright precepts here
Let all the people worship thee.
