A Beautiful Thought.

prints the following beautiful picture of thu

sThere is dignity about that gong away

are drawn about this cradle Of a world; tha,

Chas.e Language.


Our good old English tongue is suscepti
BILE Of great variations. 1t will utter il
sweet sentences, smooth and soft as flowing
honey, the holiest feelings of tenderness and
eAectiou, or it will CRATE harsh discord or
thunder malsdictions. II will do whatever
it is asked TO do. 1t is pliable instrument
ready to serve many purposes. From some
lips 1t is beautiful and musical, charming
the ear and delightiDg The. soul. From 9TH
ers it is rough, coarse, aiscordant. 1t ex-
presses what is in the speaker or writer.
Good Language is ever beautiful thing.
Who does not love TO hear it? II indicates
agenlleman, lady, scholar, a friend
II is an evidence of refinement, taste, good
manners, culture, judgement, good breed
ing. 1t has happy influence, is this proper
vehicle Of good thoughts and proper feelings.
1t is said that at one period Of A,henian
history the ear and taste Of the people Of
Athens were so cultivated that public
speaker would be hissed by the common
people for a coarse expression or an un-
grammatical sentence. This, perhaps, is
fastidious refinement, but pure and proper
language is ever delightful, and ought al
ways be used. For home use, for friend
ship, for business, for social life-hew ad-
mirable is chaste language. A grsmmer, a
dictionary, proper attention to the culti-
walton of ones everyday speech, will soon
give one correct and agreeable habits Of con
yersation. Try it all bad takers.

HAS SUMMER FLED,

And has the beautious summer fed!
II seemeth but day
Since 10 our wales The flowers were brought
BY laughing blue-eyed MAY:
Now o'eihesd's the autumn sky,
And red no more the roses dye,
And faded is the violet blue,
The hB-that has faded too.
Sweet melody in sammer flung
From off of harp of thousand strings,
A harp-aias! that's now unstrung,
While scaIce single minstrel sings.
The murmer Of the ripping stream,
More hoarse into the air doth seem;
The festhered songsters of the grove
Have cesed 10 warble lays of love.
The balmy breath Of summer time,
That kissed the dew drops from the flower s
With all its sweets has fed afar
To sport mid softer hours.
Far upward IN the mellow light,
The blue hills rise upon the sight,
And, mid the sunsets golden flush,
The forest leaves in beauty blush.
A few short days, and Winter will
With hail and snow come striding on;
The woods, no longer Iull'd in sleep,
Sway to the mighty tempes'splume.
thus roll the seasons: varied still,
The fallen leaf, the frozen rill,
The budding flower, the brazen sky
Now the smile, anon the sigh.
How swiftly flies each passing year!
The Summers ended--harvest past
And forest leaves of brilliant hue
Float On the wintry blast,
IT'S thus when sun-bright youth has fled;
How dark and drear the years ahead!
But in vain the sigh that sorrow heaves,
When Winters winds close up Life's leaves.

A WIFE FOR SALE!

"Od man of the sea;
Come listen TO me,
For Alice my wife,
The plaugue of my life,
Hath sent me 10 ask bone Of thee.''
WIFE, wife
Who wants wife?
i am a benedict tired of strife,
Ready TO sacrifice my life
By carving my head with butchers knife,
All TO be freed from pretty wife.
My wife was belle,
And she sang my knell,
When she forced me 10 tell
That loved her well,
She's the plaugue Of my life,
This beautiful wife;
But oh! she is fair,
With curling brown hair,
Eyes Of deepest blue,
Making mischief lis true.
She Will dance and sing
In The triple ring.
That form round my rose
Wherever she goes,
remonstrate-she laughs;
scold-she coughs;
stamp aud fume,
And she leaves the room;
pace the floor at furious rate,
While with some Bob or Sammy, she chats at the
gate.
Who wants my May?
Pll sell her to-day,
That peace mayreign
In my bosom again.
