and butterflies seem tohave arisen sDonta-
ncous Y from the teeniine soifa And then
how delightful to walk abroad, on a balnny
morning ana snuff the sweet perfume of
lilacs, peach blossoms and the mingled cd
orS that come borne upon the breeze from
the ever fragrant meads How pleasant,
too it is to SIT and hear the gay carols OF
the silver tongucd minstrels of the grove,
as they open their ivory bcaks and let the
dcmi-semiquavcrs come tinkling out, as If
their little souls were the fountain of melo-
dy-thc grand arena of Natures unwritten
music!
Oh, my friends the gentle Spring time 3
is a lovely season, but it will soon be over.
The scarching summer, sombre autumn and
chilling winter will rapidly succeed; and
then you will look forward for the return
of another glad spring. But, all when
the pale autumn of life shall sot in, and low
ering clouds and chillv'blasts pressage tho
dark December of death, you needn't look
for a return of youths happy Spring time.
No, you will cast a hopeful eye to vernal
Joys beyond the tomb, aud exult in the
thought that an eternal Spring will yet
visit tic mou!dcrlng urn will breathe
its warm breath on the frost Of the grave.
SO mote it be!
,REcRUIrs FOR CuBA-The Augusta
Dispatch learns that n recruiting agent for
a Cuban expedition is in that city. 1t
learns that several young men, weary of
the cankers Of calm world and a long
peace" are disposed to enlist to these it
addresses the following premonition
We wish them the bright reward that
their bravery deserves, but we cannot for
bear TO caution them against being blinded
by the tH'ae hopes of enthusiasts, or the
selfish schemes of ambitious and desgn-
ing leaders. Remember the fate of Lopez
and Crittenden and their fifty brave COM
pnions."
ALWAYS FINDING FAULT.-Thcrc arc
certain people who cannot live without fn-
ding fault. No matter what subject or por-
someone's up in course of conversation, they
start some frivolous objection, or make
some ccnsorious remark Instead of trying
to be in charity with their neigltbors, they
take malicious pleasure in speaking evil of
them. They obstinatcly shut their eyes
to good qualities, while they employ mi.
and afterwards they torture language to ex-
preciate as much as possible They do
not, however, always speak out boldly but
t'thcy deal in inuendocs, hints; and omnous
shakes of the head. Instead of frankly
assailng in front, they assassinate behind
the back Practically they persuade otll-
crs that all men arc evil, that there isnot
even chance of reform. Even in acts in-
coptestibly good, they pretend to find la
tent selfishness. They spend their lives in
dcfiling himannaturc, likothc foul Yahoos
whom the satirist has depicted 70 believe
them, there arc none virmous but them
selves, all the rest of mankind being
knavcs, brutes or devils.
The proverbial fault finder little thinks
that, in censunng so maliciously and indis- i
criminately he is only painting his own por7
trait 1t, is "a secret consciousness of his
demcrit gnawing rage at the superiority
of others, which is the real cause of his want
| of charity, the principle induccmont 10 his
abuse, His own, heart is the mirror from
which he describes mankind. The best
men have been those, invariably, who spoke
| the most kindly oftleir race. The great
| type of all manhood, whose perfect human
tity isthe admiration even, of pagans and
Atheists, eyer spoke in benign terms, even
of {" pubicans and sinners"
:. 1t is 10 this ,precept that we owe the
great doctrine. Of human brotherhood In
the ideal of the fallen Lucifer, we have on
the contrary, the incarnation of malice,
hate, SANDER, ill4wifl and evil spcaking.~--
As thcone is said to have come to bring
s.f'peaee and goodwill to men SO the /,
other first Gehled the fair creation with
strife, and sowed war among the hosts of /,
heaven. Wesncyer, listen to the bencfi-
cient language of one whe is IN charity
with his race, without feeling that he IS
advancing more aud more tc the perfect
man" e,s.e 81
