MENTAL LABoR.-The injurious ef:
fects. of mental labor are in a great
measure owing to the extensive forcing
in early youth; 10 sudden or misdirected
study; to the cooperation Of depressing
emotions or passions; to the neglect Of
the ordinary rules of hygiene; to the
neglect of the hints of the body; or to
the presence of the seeds Of disease,
degeneration and decay in the system.
The man Of healthy phlegmatic or chol-
eric temperament is less likely to be in
joured by application than one Of san
guine or me1ancholic type; yet these
latter, with allowance for the original
constitution may be capable of vast eff.
forts. The extended and deep culture
Of the mind exerts y directly conserva-
tive influence upon tue body. Tellow
laborer! one word to you. Fear not to
do manfully the work for. which your
gifts qualify you, but do it as one who
must give an account of both soul and
body. Work, and work hard while i,
is day; the night cometh soon enough,
do not, hasten it. Use your faculties-'
use them to the. utmost, but do no,
abuse them; make not the mortal to do
the work of the immortal. The body
has its claims-it IS good servant;
treat it well and it will do your work,
it knows its own business; do not at.
tempt to teach or force it, attend to it
wants and requirements, listen kindly
and patiently to oil its hints, and coca
sionally forstall its necessities by little
indulgence, and your consideration
will be paid with innerest. But taste
it, and pine it, and suffocate it-makt
it slave instead of q servant; it ma,
not complain, much, but ike the wear.

About the latter end of Queen

Of the York Merchant, ar
rived at Barbadoea from. England !;
having dieembarked the last part Of
his loading, which was Goals, the
sailors who had been employed in
that dirty work ventured into the
sea to wash themselves; there they
had not been long before person on
board spied large shark making
towards them, and gave them notice
Of their danger, upon which they swan
back, and reached the boat, all but
one; him the monster overlook almost
within reach Of the oars, and gripping
him by the small Of the back, his de-
vouring jaws soon cut asunder, and, as
soon swallowed: the lower part Of his
body; the remaining part was taken
up and carried ON board, where. his
comrade was, his friendship with the
deceased had long been distinguished
BY reciprocal discharge of such en-
dearing Offices, as an union and sym
pathy of souls implied. When he saw
the severed trunk OF his friend, it was
with an horror and emotion too great
for words to paint. During this affect
ing scene, the Unsuitable shark was
traversing the bloody surface in search
after the remainder Of his prey; the
rest Of the crew thought themselves
happy in being on board, he alone un'
happy that he was not within reach o1
the destroyer Fired at the sight, and
vowing that he would make the de-
vourer disgorge, or be swallowed him
self, into the same grave-he pluhget
into the deep, armed with a large
sharp pointed knife. The shark ne
sooner saw but he made furiously to
wards him-both equally eager, thu
Que for his:prey, the other for revenge
The moment the shark opened his ca
pacious jaws, his adversary dexterous

hand somewhat below the upper fins

in the belly !; the enraged shark afte

TIL E CROOKED PATH.

n oIIv1n wEND4LI noIleRs.
All, here it is the aiding rail- ,aa.t-s
That marks the old remembered spot
That gap that struck our school boy trai
The crooked path across the lot.
It left the road by school and church,
A penciled shadow, nothing more,
That parted from the silver birch,
And ended at tho farm house door.
No line or oompass traced its plan;
With frequent bends to lett Or right,j
In aimless, wayward curves it ran,
But always kept the door in sight.
The gab:ed porch, with woodbine green
The broken mill stone at the Sill.
Tho many = rood might stretch between
The truant child could SEQ them still.
No rocks across the pathway lie
No fallen trunk is DER it thrown
And yet it winds, We know not why.
And turns, as if for tree or stone.
Perhaps some lover trod the way, &,
With skak'ng knees and leaping heart
And 50 it often runs astray
With sinsous sweep or sudden start,
Or one, perchance, with clouded brain,
From some "nholy banquet reeled-
And since, our devious steps maintain 3"
His track across the trodden field.
Nay, deem not thus-no earth-born vii
Could ever trace faultless line;
Our truant steps arc human still
To- walk answering were divine!
Truants from love, We dream Of wrath,
Oh, rather let US trust the more!
Through all tho wanderings Of the path,
We still can see our Fathers door.
