all been before the people for sew

OH! NEVER MORE.
liY FINLEY JOHNSON.

Oh! never more the flowers will bloc
Beneath her fairy tread;
Oh! never more will this perfume
Around for her be shed;
And, though the branches of the trees
Above her form may wave,
Yet her soft tones Join not the breeze,
She's silent in the grave.
There are some roses on this earth
Most beautiful and fair;
Which wither in tn cir hour Of birth
Despite Of kindcst care;
And 50 our pet returned to dust,
Unto her quiet rest,
Oh! could not death have spared to US
Our dearest and our besU
Within the grave'yard'S close retreat
Our pet now finds rcpose;
Her slumbers are profound and sweet,
Secure from worldly woes;
And though the mourners often stray
10 drop sorrows dark tear,
The drops may fall on many grave.
But not on one more dear,

Guard AGAINST VULGAR LANGUAGE.--
There is as much connection between
the words and thoughts as there is
between the thoughts and the words;
the latter are not only the expression
of the former, but they have the pow
cr to react upon the soul, and leave
the stain of their corruption there
A Young man who allows himself to
use one vulgar and proiane word, has
not only shown that there is u foul
spot upon his mind, but by the utter
ancc of that word he extends that spot
and inlIamcs it, till by indulgence it
will poIIute and ruin the whole soul.
BE careful Of your words as well as
your thoughts. If you can control
the tongue that no improper words
are pronounced by it. you will soon
be able, also, to control the mind and
save that from corruption. You cX.
tinguish the fire by smothering it, or
by preventing bad thoughts bursting
out in language. Never utter n word
anywhere which you would be asham-
ed to speak in the presence Of the
most refined female, or the most re-
ligious man. Try this practice Il little
while, and you will soon have COM
mand of yourself.
