"Shrouds have no Pockets"

While gancing over the columns of newspN-
per, the other day, my eyes fell upon Ibis single
sentence, "Shrouds have no pockets" And, truly,
thought I,no remark is more replete with meaning
or speaks in stronger or moro significant appeals
to man.
Yea, what q volume OF meaning is couched in
these simple words, and what lessons of para
mount interest and momentous importance may
man gather from contemplation of the truth
they contain! What a vast amount of suffering
in the present life, and eternal misery in the ft
to come, would man be saved from, if the truth u
these words were kept in mind, and actuated mar
in oil the varied pursuits Of life! How many toi
and labor for the mammon Of this world only
and in their eagerness grasp at land and sea
heuping together ea:th's sordid treasures, but il
death, have to leave their boarded millions be
hind, and in rcmorse, reproach themselves fol
their lives Of folly.

ADVICE.

We must feel ere We can pity,
We mnst long before we pray,
We must know the need Of comfort
Ere we cheer anvthers way.
Artthou, then, the only mournerI
Throbs no beating heart but ,hinel
Does the earth's green surface never
Hide deed and wealthy mincl
Know yo not what wondrous structures
Grow beneath the rolling seas!
Coral reefs, in hidden natures,
Rise as silently as these
May be that thy strength Of purpose
Might uplift some sinking heart,
And the ray to thee returning,
A reiracted light impart.
For, lis strange we should have power,
Oft TO give another peace,
While we vainly bid the anguish
Ofour own vexd spirit cease.

INaENIoys IDEA.-The fact that the
study of nature tends directly to The civ
tlization OF nation was we'll understood,
more than century and half ago, by
that ingenious. self.made, Peter the Great,
Of Russia. He conceived the idea that a
love for this department of science would
contribute much toward the civilization
an refinement OF his barbarian subjects.
and accordingly he established,at an enor.
nous expense, large museum of natur-
al history at st. Petersburg; and, in order
10 induce his whisky loving subjects TO 60
ihere. he ordered glass Of brandy to be
presented to every visitor.

ALL s WELL.

The clouds, which rise with thunder, slake
Our thirsty souls with rain;
The blow, most dreadful, falls to break
From off our limbs chain;
And wrongs from man To man but make
The love Of God more plain.
As through the shady lens OF even,
The eye looks iarthest into heaven,
Or CLEANS ot star aud depths OF blue
The glazing sunshine never knew;

THE MONROE DocrgINE-A late National
1ntelligcnccr has q long and elaborate history
of the Monroe Doctrine, concluding thus:
We have thus endeavorcd to lay before our
readers faithful history of a mach mooted topic
in American politics. Let us briefly recapitu.
late the points we have, as We think, establish
cd beyond successful controversy.
|. That the Monroe declaration of 1923, in
10th its phases, had its origin in the changed
relations and new responsibilities imposed on
the several States of the American Continents
arising from the emancipation Of the Spanish
Colonies, and rendering it conducive to the
interest of all that the American Continents
should not he subject to future colonization by
any European power aS waste and nnoccupied
tcrritory and that no foreign State or States
should be allowed to intervene in the domestic
affairs of any American people for the purpose
of snppressing republican Institutions.
2. That the Monroe dccara,,,n i, co f., os
it related to the Threatened intervention Of fine
uoIy Alliance IN the concerns of the Spanish
American States, was intended to meet par
ticnlar contingency Of events, and therefore
passed away with the occasion which called
it forth
g. That tho Monroe doctrine, in so far as it
IcihteS to inc cOlonlZitlOn OF the American
Continent by any European Power, was not
intended to bind the United States to guard
the territory of the New World from such occu
patton by European States; but wos intended to
Indicate, as an important principal Of American
public policy, that leach State should guard
by its own means against the establishment Of
any future European colony within the uris-
dction of its flag.
That is. the American Continents were no
longer held open to colonization rs derclict ter.
rltory, capable Of occupation by right of dis.
coycry and settlement
A. That the Monroe doctrncnwas not in
any proper sense pledge" aud as such was
especially discarded by the Democratic party.
The current Interpretation of the Monroe
doctrine has, therefore, no foundation in the
truth OF history, and, if defended at all, must
be defended on its intrinsic merits as u propo.
sltion wholly distinct and different from that
which was conceived by its author or affirmed
by its first promnlgator whose destiny it has
been to give his honored name to u principle
Tor which he never contendcd.
