Never Stop to Rub Your Bruises.

Life is wasting--time is flying
All its sands will soon be run;
BE ye up and be ye trying,
Cease not till Your work is done;
Though no star its light difflses,
And you stumble oft and fall,
Never stop to rub your bruises,
Travel on in spite Of all.
Onward, onward and tomorrow
What to you looks fearful now,
win depart with every horror
That o'erhangs the mountain brow;
Though your labor all amuscs,
And save conflicts on your fall.
Never stop to rub your bruises,
Travel on in spite Of all.
Tho your friends may all forsakc you,
And thy every effort chill,
Leaving them, perhaps, will make you.
Some like serpcnts charm to kill.
Should the one affection chooses,
Often times your will cnthrall,
Never stop to rub your bruises,
Travel on in spite of all
Hoist the sail, although the ocean.
Seems so peacefully at rest
Hoist the sail and wait the motion,
Winds are nesting in its breast,
Waking, then, new life infuses,
Loud the battling breezes squall--
Then the burque with all her bruises,
Travels on in spite Of all,

Marriage for Show.

To the question often asked OF
young men as to why they do not
marry, we sometimes hear the reply,
II am not able to support awiie.'
In one, case in three, this may be so
but as n general thing the true reply
would be, "I am not able to support
the style in which my wife ought Ia
live" In this, again, we see false
view of Marriage looking to an
appearance in the world, instead Of a
union with a loving woman for hei
own sake. There are very few men,
Of industrious habits, who cannot
maintain alwifo, if they ere willing
to live economically, and without
reference to the opinions Of the world.
The great evil is, they are not CON

Gods Mercy Has Not Fled.

by FINLEl JOuNSON'
Believe not those who's say the age
OF miracles hath past;
That science hath beneath its car
All wonders madly east;
For deep, mysterious, wondrous things
Are passing DER US now,
AS when our Saviour sat and tlught
Upon the mountain's brow;
And the clear sky of azure blue
Is still above US spread;
And God stilkwaches DER US
His mercy hath not fed.
The earth is still as beautiful,
The flowers just as fair
AS when from Eden's hidden hooks
They pcrhim'd all the air;
And shall We think that Gods own gift,
Unto sinful world,
Hath vanished in the din and strife,
M And is to pieces harl'd ?
Believe it not-his guardian saints
Still lingcr overhead;
Gods mighty hand is outstretched yet
His mercy hath not fed,
We read within the book of life,
A holy angel came
Unto troubled pool, to heal
The leprous and the. lame;
So even now upon life's stream,
On every rutled wave
Comes gently down Religions breath
To purify and save;
Aud all the good we do, returns
With blessings on each head;
We feel that God our Maker lives
His mercy hath not fed
Religion sees in seeming i'll
A producer ofC of good,
And it can turn the poisoned spring
70 nourishment and food;
And meath its holy teachings pure,
Is inspiration given,
And souls on earth can commune still
With kindred souls in htaun.
o, blessed visions mobile thought
Hopes balos have not fed;
This world is full Of beauty still
Gods mercy is not dead
