CHAUCER,S COUNSEL.

WRITTEN SHORTLY BEFORE HIS DEATH.
Flee from the crowd, and be to virtue true.
Content with what thou hast tho it be small
To hoard brings hate-nor lofty things pursue;
He who climbs high endangers many a fall,
Envy's shade that wants on fame,
And oft the sun that rises it will hide,
Trace not in life a vast expensive scheme,
But be thy wishes to thy state allied,
Be mild to Others-tO thysclf severe
So truth shall shield thee, or from hurt or fear.
Think not of bending all things to thy will,
Nor vainly hope that fortune shall befriend;
1ncOnstant she-but be thou constant still,
Whate'er bctide unto an honest end,
Yet needless dangers never madly brave,
Kick not thy naked foot against nail;
Or from experience the solution crave,
IfTeH and pitcher strive which shall prevail,
Be in thy cause as in thy neighbours clear,
So truth shall shield thee, or from hurt or fear
Whatever happens, happy in thy mind
BE thou; nor at thy lot in life repine;
lie 'scapes all i'll whose bosom is resigned,
Nor way nor weather shall be always fine,
Beside, thy home's not here; Journey this
\ pilgrim, thou; then HE thee on thy way;
Look up God, intent to heavenly bliss,
Take what the road affords, and praises pay;
Shun brutal fIstS and seek the souls high sphere,
So truth shall shield thee. or frogr hurt or fear.

THE GOLDEN SUNSET

The golden sea its mirror spreads
Beneath the golden skies,
And but narrow strip between
OF land and shadow lies.
The cloud-lke rocks, the rock-like clouds,
Dissolved in glory float,
And, midway of the radicnt food,
Hangs silently the boat.
The sea is but another sky,
Tie sky sea well,
And which the earth, and which tie heavens
The eye can scarcely tell.
So when for us iife's evening hour
Soft fading shall decend,
May glory, born of earth and heaven,
The earth and heavens blend
Flood with peace the spirits float,
With silent rapture glow,
Till where earth ends and heaven begins,
The soul will scarcely know.

"Ifyou were a dog and | was hog

Would you worry or bite very hard?" et
An exchange says sentiment so sublime

Go it porkie. root hog or die!' 49,.

A SINGULAR STORY.

Alexander Dumas has lateley published sim
guar story concerning the late Gar Nicholas, OF
Russia, viz: that after the disastrous news from
the Crmea of Russian defeats the Car resolved to
die Should he retrace his footsteps, and abandon
his policy, he would have to give the lie to the
reign of thirty years. Should he persist in carry
ing on the war, he would ruin Russia. But what
he could not ask without loss of honor, viz peace
his successor might. He, therefore, by pressing
solicitations, obtained from his physician, who had
previously resisted for two months, dose of poi
strong enough to kill him, but yet weak enough
to allow him to live few hours after having taken
it, The physician left Petersburg on the 18th OF
February, having obtained from the Emperor
declaration in writing which made him safe at all
points. On the morning ofthe 18th, the Empe-
rOrswaowed that poison after which he sent for the
Grand Duke Alexander-now Emperor-and
told him all. The latter would have cried out for
help, but the Emperor prevented Elm by an order,
positive that, and subject, hecould not
disobey his father and sovereign. Then the En-
peror explained to him in detail the motives which
induced him to take this heroic step. The young
Prince broken hearted, the tears streaming from
his eyes, his utterance chokcd by sobs, lstned to
the dreadful narrative on his knees, and clasped his
hands, exclaimiug, 'my father! my father!' The
Emperor would not allow him to quit his side I'M
til he had obtained a solemn promise to let death
take its course without attempting to stop it. But
the instant the young Prince was out of the room.
his flial love triumphed over his fidelity to his
word, and he summond the whole of the royal FAM
lily, and also three physicians The latter arrived
too late. The Emperor, after hot violent agony,
expired at twenty minuets past twelve, at noon, on
the 18th Of February, 1855. At the same instant
Russia changed not On her master, but her policy

Inbumani,y on Shipboard.

Some of our free-soil shipmasters are gain
ing an unenviable notoriety for the American
name, not only In Europe, but the uttermost
parts Of the earth. We see it stated that, at q
recent session of the Criminal Court in Sing
apore, the Recorder referred to a case of cut
ting and wounding on board the American
ship Neptune's Car, lying in the roads, in
which the man was dangerously injured
The presiding magistrate spoke with severity
of the apparently low state of discipline on
board the ships Of the American mercantile
navy as disclosed in several cases occurring
in the neighborhood within comparatively
short period, and seemed to be Of opiniop that
this was probably in great part attributable to
the course of conduct adopted by the masters
and officers not being Of kind to command the
respect and kindly feelings of their men. 1t
was not by horsing, tricing slung shot, brass
knuckles, cutlasses, and revolvers, that the dis
cipline Of q ship could be maintained, and his
lordship hoped that the government Of the u.
States might adopt some means for improving
their merchant service In this respect The
language frequently resorted to by those
whose positions were those of gent lemen, were
offensive and disgusting In the extreme, and
the Judge cited an instance of it from the de-
positions in the case, which certainly afforded
q very startling and melancholy example.
