EXHAUSTION OF TALK-How the lamp of
conversation holds out to burn, between two
persons only, is curiously set down in the fol-
lowing passage, from Count Gonfallioners ac-
count of his Imprisonment
Fifteen years | existed in dungeon ten

could rightly distinguish the face of him who
shared my captivity in the eternal twilight of
our cell. The first year we talked incessent-
ly together we related our past lives, our
joys forever gone, over and over again. The
next year we communicated to each other our
thoughts and ideas on all subjects. The third
year we had no ideas to communicate we
were beginning to lose the power of refec-
ton. The fourth, at the interval Of month
Or so, we would open our lips to ask each

lent. The sixth he was taken away,-I never
knew where, to execution or liberty. But
was glad when he was gone; even solitude
was better than the pale, vacant face. One
day lit must have been year or two after
my companion left me,) the dungeon door was
opened, whence proceeding knew nor, the
following words were uttered - By order of
his Imperial Majesty intimate to you that
your wife died year ago. Then the door
was shut, and heard no more; they had
but flung this great agony upon me and left
me alone with it."

BE GANrLEMFN 1T HoNE- There are few
families, we imagine, anywhere, in which
love is not abused as furnishing the license
for impoliteness. A husband, father, or
brother will speak harsh words to those he
loves best, and those who love him best SIM
ply because the security Of love and family
pride, keeps him from getting his head bro
ken. 1t is shameful that man will speak
more impolite, at times, to his wife or sister,
than he would to any other female except q
low and vicious one It's thus that the hon
est affections Of mans nature prove to be
d weaker protection to woman in the family
than the restraints of sociedy, and that a wo-
man usually is indebted for the kindest po-
likeness of life to those not belonging to her
own household Things ought not to be SO.
The man who, because it will not be resent
| ed, inAicts his spleen and bad temper upon
those Of his hearth-stone is small coward
ard very mean man. Kind words are cir
culating mediums between true gentlemen in
society: and nothing can atone Tor the harsh
language and dsrespectful treatment too oft
en- INDUCED ia betwcan those bound together
by Gods own ties of blood, and the still more
sacred bonds Of conjuga love.

PSALMS OF DAvID.-Tho following eloquent
extract is from late lecture by Henry Giles
on the psalms Of David:
Great has been Their power in the world.
They resounded amidst the court Of the tab
ernacle; they Aoated through the lofty and
solemn space Of the temple; they were sung
with glory in the Halls of Zion: they were
sung with sorrow by the streams of Babylon
And when Israel had passed away, the harp
Of David was still awakened in the Church Of
Christ. In all the eras and ages of that
chnrch; from the hymn which it first whisper
ed in an upper chamber, until its anthems
filed the earth, the inspiration of the royal
prophet has enraptured its devotions and en-
nobled its rituals. Chorused by the winds of
heaven, they have swelled throughout God $
own on the sky and stars; they have rolled
over the broad desert OF Asia, in the nations
and vaspers of ten thousand hormits They
have rung through the deep valleys of the
Alps, in the sobbing voices Of the forlorn
Waldenses through the deeps and caves of
the Scottish Covenanters; through the woods
and wilds of primitive America, in the hero.
ic hallelujahs Of princely pilgrims.

And which are fastening to-"
So sang the Hutchinsons in one of their
touching heart-songs. The thought may for

listen to its utterance in melody but the mass
lear and heed it not Tsoy seem to live as
though life had no great purpose-no higher
aim than the qualification of self Those in
the crowd are jostling each other; iercely
almost are treading down each other; to

Of sorrow, or the wall Of distress are unheed-
I'd, Gain-gain--is the madened cry. Gold
and lands for to-day, for tomorrow we die.
Let the dog lick the sores of the poor, and
despised Samaritans turn aside to bind up the
bruised and wounded unfortunates. Stock in
Heaven brings no direct dividend in money.
Lending to the Lord will not add two per
cent per month to the yearly accumulations
Such seems to be the common understanding
Men act as if life were an eternity.
But the night cometh-there are graves tc

exclusive privilege under the sod, or " ovel
the river" Bonds, mortgages, and stocks
not current in the hereafter No SHARP
practice no shrewd business transactions
there. No extraordinary per cents, for those
who have entered into an inheritance which
fadeth not away. No poor faces to grind
for all are rich. They are joint heirs with
Jesus Christ to an eternity of bliss. Sorrow
and pain; the crutch and tattered garments
the bruised and injured heart, have been lief
in the grave, and the paupers of earth become
the owners Of Heaven! Oh! how often w

your mother and me to think and act for
you. Ye maun learn to calculate and
weigh not only your own actions, but your
motives of action as we'll as the actions and
apparent motives of those with whom you
have to deal, and stick aye by that, my child
OF which you are sure never to be ashamed,
either in this warld Or in that to come.
1t ever you are spared to be wife, there
will mair depend upon your head than your
hands; and you are nae the wour being able

The gloomiest day hath CLEANS of light,
The darkest wave hath bright foam near it,
And wrinkles through the cloudiest night
Some solitary star to cheer it.
The gloomiest soul is not all gloom,
The saddest heart is not all sadness;
And sweetly DER the darkest doom,
There shines some lingering beam Of gladness
Despair is never quite despair,
Nor life nor death the future closes;
And round the shadowy brow of Care,

The Reunion of Friends in Heaven.

We are GRIT about with shadow
Nothing here is sure;
Sunshine DER the greenest meadow
Passing clouds obscure;
Fairest night brings foulest morrow
Joy is prelude oft to sorrow
Palsehood dwells in fairest feature
Lies are CLOSED with art;
Truth oft weareth oughest nature
Who Gan read the heart'-
That We see is only seeming
That we do, we are but dreaming
Life and Death are strangely mingled -
Blossoms hide the grave,
Each from each can scarce be singled,
They such likeness have;
Life to Death is ever giving,
Dying seemeth truest living
When the wind is sweetest blowing,
Plague is in its breath.
wi.est ages have no knowing
OF the lore of Death.
That great ken, the deepest hidden,
Cometh TO us oft unbidden.
Yet are lights of Heaven blending
With the shades Of Earth;
Death is evermore ascending
To the gates Of Birth;
Faith can peer beneath the curtain;
The uncertain is made certain.
