gabbath Seadiug,
A Swearer alone with God.

a carrier in large town in Yorkshire heard
bis carter one day in the yard swearing dread
fully at his horses The carrier was a man who
feared God, spent his Sabbath's as teacher at
Sunday School, and endeayored to promote the
spiritual good Of his fellow creatures He'was
shocked to hear the terrible oaths that fesounded
through the yard. He vert up to the young
man, who was Just ,settiag off with his caft'fof
Manchester, and kindly expostulated with him
on the enormity of his sin, and then added
But if thou wilt swear, stop till thou get through
the turnpike on s. Moor where none os
God and myself can hear" He then put The
swearer's PRAYER" into his hand, and left him.
The poor fellow cracked his whip aad pursued
his journey but he could not get over his masters
words. Some time after, his master observed
him In the yard, and was very much surprisedto
see him so altered. There was a seriousness
and quietness about him which he had never seen
before and he often seemed as if he had sorne<
thing to say which he could not get out. At
length, his master was so much struck with his
manner that he asked him if he wanted anything
All master, said he, "do you remember what
you said to me about swearing and the tract
you gave me? I was thunderstruck T went
the road, and got through the turnpike and
leached Sc Moor; and there thought that /
was alone, yet God was with me and trembled

Walking.

1t is really astonishing to see how few people
have ever learned to calk properly. The art
of pedestrian locomotion is one Of the earliest
of human requirements, yet hardly one in ten
does it gracefully or Enthusiastically. In
the city people all walk in too much of hurry
they seem to have no time to straighten out
the knee-joint, at the end Of each step but go
trotting along, with Bonded legs leaning forward,
and presenting altogether, a very ridiculous APP
pearance In the country, the heavy, stiff boots
generelly worn and the soft nature of the ground
give the walker the air of having thirty-six
pound shot fastened to his ankles. He does not
bend his knees at all, but drags his feet after
him as with an effort Women very rarely
walk we'll Even those who dance sit, stand
or recline with the greatest grace, cannot walk
easily, and it is positively unpleasant to see
many ladies perform pedestrian duty. In walk
ing, one should keep the shoulders back well, and
move the feet neither too fast nor slow. The
toes should be turned out, and the knee-joints
entirely Strengthened at each step. The car
riage of the head has much to do with the gait
and should be upright though not stiff. 1t
would be an excellent idea for walking to be
taught in school, as regular branch Of exercise,
especially in this country, where its beneficial
effects, and value in giving grace and ease to all
ether movements are SO universally ignored

Fellow Travellers.

"Will you help me out Of this mud-hole n
said travelling druggist, who had just been
compelled to stop his team in mud hole, because
they couldn't pull it out. :
"No, can't stop" said the Yankee, who
was heavily loaded, and was fearful that he would
be too late for the cars.
!" would take it as Q great favor, besides
paying you, = said the druggist.

Yankee

There is a little three-year old boy at Nor
walk, Conn, who already shows leaning to the
legal profession. Being taken in hand with a
switch after having been forbidden to pick an
other pear from fayorite dwarf tree, he indig
nantly exclaimed Mamma, did not pick off
the pear you come and see if I did" Sure
enough, he didn't. He simply stood there and
ate it, and the core was still dangling from the
stem.

The loveo ornament creeps slowly, but surely,
into the female heart. A girl who twines the
lily in her tresses, and looks at herself in the
clear stream, will soon wish that the lily were
fadeless, and the stream mirror. We say, let
the young lady seek to adorn her beauty, if she
be taught also to adorn her mind and heart, but
she may have wisdom to direct her love of orna-
ment in due moderation.

Wisdom and Virtue.
JOHN SMITH,

Seek wisdom and knowledge, without ever
thinking you have found them. A man is wise
while he continues in the pursuit of wisdom; but
when he once fancies that he has found the OBJ

Learn to pursue virtue The man that is blind
never makes step without first examining the
ground with his staff

Oh would / could recall the past,
The happy dreams of by gone years.
When hope was there with rosy lips
To kiss away the falling tears.
When fancy with her pencil stood,
And painted future scenes so bright,
Till Manhood looked summers day,
Without cloud or shade of night
When Mirth and Joy their fowerets threw,
Along my youths bright, happy PATH
And woed me with their sweet delights
The sportve glee-the joyous laugh.
When summer sun nee seemed to SET
And moon and stars looked always bright,
when one dear voice there to bless,
Ere sinmbers claimed me for the night.
Oh. then this world looked bright to me,
No cloud was in the sky above.
While pleasure lent her sweetest charms,
To crown my youthful heart witlsloTe.
And well loved them hallowed scenes,
Made dearer still when spring had come;
For then fair Flora's brightest gifts,
Seemed thrown around nay home, sweet home.
But these were dreams too sweet to last,
Too fair ard beautiful for earth,
For all I loved and cherished then,
Fell in the cold embrace of death.
Yet all know these vain regrets
Cannot restore those former years,
Nor bring that hope to this lone heart
That once would chide nay falling tears.
Yet there is hope still left for me,
Which prompts yet LIES ills to brave,
1t is that calm repose that soon
May crown me in the silent grave.
