SATURDAY MIGHT.

1t is good, when the week is ended, to
look back upon its business and its tolls,
and mark wherein we have failed of our
duties or come short of what we should
have done. The close ofthe week should be
90 each one Of US like tho close cf our lives.
Everything should be adjusted, with the
world and with our God, as If we were
about 70 leave the one and appear before
Ahe other. The week is, indeed, one Of the
regular divisions Of life. aed when it closes

Of our youthful days and the vexations o {

THB GRAVE OF JEFFERSON

The following description Of the place
where rest the mortal remains of the sage
Of Monticello, will doubtless be interesting
| to every reader:-
ascended the winding road, which leads
from Charlottesville to Monticello. The
path leads circuitous ascent of about two
miles up the miniature mountain, to the
farm and the grave of Jefferson. On en-
tering the gate which opens into tho en-.
closure, numerous paths diverge in various
directions, winding through beautiful groves
to the summit Of the hill. From the peak
on which the house stands, grand and
nearly unlimited view opens to the thickly
wooded hlIsa fertile valleys which stretch
out on either side. The university, with its
dome, porticoes, and colonnade, looks like
fair city in the plain. Charlottesville
seems to be directly beneath. No spot can
be imagined, combining greater advantages
of grandeur, healthfuluess, and seclusion.
The house is noble in its appearance; two
large columns support portico, which ex.
tends from from the wings, and into it the
front door opens. The apartments are
neatly furnished, and embellished with stat
ues, busts, portraits, and natural curiositics.
The grounds and outhouses l1ave been neg
lected; Mr.. Jefferson's attention being alb
sorbed from such personal conceths by the
cares attendant on the superintendent of
the university, which when in health, he
visited daily since its erection commenced
AT short distance behind the ulahsioh,
in quiet shaded spot, the visitor sees a
square enclosure, surrounded by low un-
mortared stone wall, which he enters by a
neat wooden gate. This is the family bu-
playground, containing ten or fifteen graves,
none of them marked by epitaphs, and only
a few distinguished by any. memorial, On
ore side of this simple cemetery is the rest
ing.place Of the patriot and philosopher
When l saw it the vault was just archcd,
and in readiness for the plain stone which
is to cover it. May it ever continue, like
Washington's, without any adventurous at
fractions or conspicuousness for, when
We or our posterity need any other me-
mento of our debt of honor to those names.
than their simple inscription on paper,
wood, or stone, gorgeous tombs would be
a mockery to tEeir memories. When
gratitude shall cease to consecrate their re.
membrance in the hearts of our citizens, 10
cenotaph will inspire the reverence we owe
to them.

THE Golden Days of YouM.-What a
feeling of regret steals over the heart,
as the joyous days of youth fit as heav-
en-like dreams across OUT imagination, to
think that they are lost to us forever! when
the rare opportunity offers itself of snatch
ing few moments for contemplation
from tue tolls of the busy world, how read.
'iy do we embrace it, brief tltough 1t be,
to indulge in the pleasing remembrance OF
tho past, to compare it with the present,
and trust for bright realization of things
long sighed for in the futurel What a
glorious thing is youth full Of warm con.
fldence, high hopes and generous feelings,
flowing from the neart, like gush of mu-
sic from an angels harp. How keen are
its enjoyments, how novel Its sensations,
how exquisite its appreciation of the true
and beautiful! What music is there to
compare with outpourings of a youthful
and generous heart! What hight is there
for youthful heart, prompted by a noble
ambition, impossible to climbi But the
transient dream Of you'll, soon fades away
alas! how soon; and age comes creeping
on US so imperceptibIy, that we start and
sigh for days now lost, when We feel the
icy hand upon us that comes to claim Us
for its own with time NO begin to ana
iyze our sensations, examine the petals o.
the flowers of our youth, and let the odol
escape, till, one by one, the leaves fade
and fall, and the withered stem alone
is left in the gazer's handy. Y. Led

ADVICE no YOUNG tADiES.

In his excellent address to the gradua-
ting class Of St. Mary's Hall, at Burlington
last month, Bishop Doans spoke as fol-
lu#s
"The titt'es are out of Joint. CORRUPTION
stalks in our high places. ticentiousness
has, wellnigh, lost its shatne. thHdelity
is bold and bratenfaced: For these things
your sex is greatly ans#erabls. Women
are not tate to themselves, they wink at
vice. They rnake cothpromise with
worIdIiness. They tolerate itreligioh. And
they are sictirtis Of their own unfaithfulness.
Tile stronger sex look tip, in best things,
to the weaker. They have all had moth.
efs. They have all had sisters. If wo-
men were but true to god, true to
themselves, they would have strength from
Him to hold the world in check. No wo.
man ever fell but by her own consent.
hs at flrst, woman is the tempter. There
Is no man that has not passed into a brute,
to do as tigers do, that can resist the match
less magesty of a resolved woman. And
stronger than all law, stronger than any
thing but God, would be the power of wo.
men to put down rudeness, and lay the pri.
die upon license. But women arc slaves
to dress. Women are willing to ba flat
tered. Women are careless of their conn
partnership. Wohet1 are unscrupulous in
their amusements. Young wotheh set ub
tor themselves. They look upon their pa
rents as old fashioned. They are impatient
ofdomestic restraints. They are averse
to domestic occupations. They vote their
homes bore. They congregats Away
from its control. They indulge in unrea-
sonable hours, to meet the other sex more
than half way. They tempt the hidden
devils OF their nature. They forget their
Bibles. They neglect their prayer books.
They are women Of fashion. They are wo.
men of the world. What else they are, is
rather shaped by opportunity than BY
themselves. In this way, the female at
mosphere is stripped of its freshness and
its fragrance. The woman is no longer
what she was made to be- help meet
for the man. And man ceases to be what
God designed him to be-her partner, her
prop, and her protector.

Ho'o Driving Affects the Meat of Nea,
Cattle.-There is some excuse for the Wes.
tern grazer's preference for the Durhams,
as they drove them over the mountains
The fat of all cattle 10 the first to run off.
the fine particles mixed through the flesh
of the first-tbe kidney being coated over
more solid. holding out longer, and the red
meat being the last to fall. One accus-
TONED to driving, fattering and slaughter
ing, could detect drove Of "drifted " cattle
from those taken fresh from the pastures,
by seeing them pass on yonder road, az
we'll as the skiIlful butcher could by hand
ling them, and although the drift cattle
might have mnch more kidney tallow, the
meat would be as poor as wood and, in
stead Of being red, would be as blue As
*t1etstone; whilst those taken fresh from
the pasture or stall, if not fat, would make
more Juicy, tender and sweeter beef. II
you see lot of cattle in the field or else
where, with good shoulders, or rather what
butcher would term, showing his shoul-
ders to Ills safs, without any flank, rest as.
sured that they have been "drifted, =" or in
some way injudciously handled for slaugh-
tering; for if there is no flank there is not
much fat. A poor bullock does not wear
a good shoulder longer than to get rid oi
bis fat, and the tenderest parts Of his flesh,
and the neck and round, would be the on.
ly parts OF such bullock left for steak
