All other love is extinguished but self-love;

Power in Man.
20When men are sorely urged and pressed,
they find in.themselves power which they
thought they had not.
The reason why SO few marriages are hap.

in making nets not in making cages.
Serenity .

When true genius appeareth in the world

Ounces are all in confederacy against him.
How to Win.
If good people would but make goodness

Though judgment must collect the materi

affection that gives the cement; and passion
as well as reason should concur in forming
firm and lasting coalition.

'On the last night of that sessioa which
closed the senatorial career of those gentle
men respectively, Mr.. Foote obtained the
floor, and occupied the the final hour with 6
bitter and eloquent review of the life aud acts
of his old enemy. Mr.. Benton sat unmoved

OUR WORLD is Full. CT SADNESS YET.


Our world is fun of sadness yet.
OF sorrew and despair,
There's very little gladness yet
To meet us anywhere.
Our world is full of blindness yet,
Of creeds, of rites ard forms,
Bnt oh. there's little kindness yet,
To cheer or bless our homes.
There's many soni that's signing now,
And longing to be free,
There's many a child that's dying now,
For want Of liberty. {
And oh, how many homes there are,
Where social di cord reigrs, -.--
We sacrifice our puresr love,
For little, selfish gains.
But yet there's lore rnd goodness here.
Aud many hearts inclined.
To deeds Of love and rentleness,
With souls so warm and kind.
I'd love to sing of birds and flowers,
And lovlier things than they,
Ard try to cheer their lonely hours,
Or drive their cares away.
But should merely seek my ease,
Mid frierds, or flowers gay,
Or should only strive to lease,
