THE HOUSE OF THE SouL.-I lken the
human body to house. The big bones
are the main timbers. The ribs are laths,
well plastered--or rather raflers, that run
into the ridge, pole, or backbone. The
mouth is the door, and the nose is the
chimney-especially for smokers. The
throat is the entry, that leads to the
kitchen Of the stomach, where all sorts OF
food are cooked. The lungs are bellows,
that blow The flame OF life, and keep the
pot of existence always boiling but The
heart is the great chamber, where d great
variety OF goods are stored some good ;
more middliug many bad. My hearers,
if you have any rubbish in that chamber,
clear it out, and make room Tor goods
which are salable in the markets of the
Virluous. The chambers OF some hearts
present an awful dirty appearance. Take
| :he bran-new broom Of Decision brush
out the dirt of Sin, and sand the floor
with Virtue.

What Makes u Man,

A man never knows what he is capable
of until he has ticd his powers. There
seems to be no bound to human capacity.
Insight, energy, and will produce astoniSh'
inr result. How often modest talent,
driven bv circumstances to undertake
some formidable looking work, has felt its
own untried, and hitherto unconscious
powers, rising up to grapple and MASTER
and afterwards stood amazed at It's own
unexpected success
Those circumstances, those people, ene-
mics, friends, that provoke us to any no.
Die or manly undertaking, are our greatest
benefactors. Opposition and persecution
do more for man than any seemingly
rood fortune. The sneers Of critics de-
velop the latent fire in the young poet
The anathemas of the angry church in
fame the zeal OF the reformer. Tyranny,
threats, fagot, torture, raise up heroes and
martyrs, who might otherwise have slept
away sIothful and thoughsleSs lives, never
dreaming what spleadid acts and words
Law buried in their b0soms. And who
knows but the wrongs of society are per
milted, because Of the fine gold which Is
thus beaten out Of the crude ore OF humanl
ty?
Here is truth worth considering
Are you in poverty do circumstance
oppose YOU ? are you beset by enemies
Now is your time ! Never lie there, de
pressed aud melancholy Spend no more
days in idle whining. Up. like hon
Make no complaint, but il difficulty fight
you, roar your defiance. You know no
what is in You. You are at school. lhl
is your necessary discipline poverty ant
main are your masters--but use the power
God has geVen YOU and you shall be mas
ter at last. Fear of failure is the mos
/ fruitful cause of failure; Stand firm upol
the rock not fail. What, seems failure a
first is discipline. Accept the lesson
trust the grand result up ami up again
strike and strike again. and you sha
always gain, whatever the fortune OF to
day or tomorrow battle.

ANGELS GUARD the sAINTED DEAD
BY CHARLES WILLIAM BUTLER.

BIZ GHhhlilS W ll4lstNh NJ LINN
Angels guard the sainted dead
Let them rest from toll and cnrei
With the blue sky overhead,
And the breath Of Gods free air,
Let them rest where light and shade
Aud earth's changes come and go;
They have seen its visions fade
They have lett It's pOmp and show.
Angels guard the sninted dead
Not alone from heavenly skies,
Bn the souls they comiurted
In this world OF sacrifice.
Grateful hands plant willows there;
Buds that spring time gave, shall bloom,
And the summer noon tide fair
Glorifes their peaceful tomb.
Angels guard the sainted dead!
Memory loves to view the spot
Where their living presence shed
Blessings on our earthly lot.
Then the graves wherein they rest
Shall no more the spirit view;
From the mansions OF the blest
Clean the faces old and true
Angels guard the sainted dead!
This the voice that sounds for aye,
When our tears Of grief are shed
O'er earth's loved ones passed away!
This with time nor change departs;
Blessed the dying with the Lord!
Blessed are they who leave on hearts
Loves eternal written word.
Angels guard the sainted dead
Then the deep Clmmerian glooms
Cannot fill our souls with dread;
There are watchers round the tombs
And they beckon us to come,
When the chilling death wind blows;
When we make our journey home,
They will guard our sweet repose

How TO SAVE BLOSSOMS FROM BLGGHT.
In this latitude it is well known by
pomologists that as soon as the frost is
out of the ground in the spring, the sap
begins to ascend into the body and limbs
of trees Ihe buds swell, the leaves start,
and the blossoms soon appear. And 1t is
well known, too, in some seasons The buds
are much damaged. or the blossoms are
entirely blighted by the severe cold and
frosty nights that follow. In conversation
recently with a practical pomolosist, VIII"
has been eminenlly successful IN raising
all kinds of fruit-psrlicularly pumbS,
peaches and cherries-he informed me
that the great secret of his success was, in
keeping the frost in the ground until the
dangerous nights had passed, by early
spreading over the surface Of the ground
above the roots, oil sufficient depth, straw
manure, or any kind OF compost that ir
some seasons he had seen his neighbors
trees in full bloom. even before he re-
moved his surface covering, and the result
proved that while not unlrequently the
frosty nights were fatal to his neighbors
crops, his own trees, blossoming out late
were always sure 10 yield him an abun
dant harvest.

The OLDEST INHABIrANT.--A cores
pondrnl in the London Times calculates
the aye OF the great California tree in the
Crystal Palace at Sydenham, at about six
thousand four hundred and eight years !!
1t must have been planted, according 10
that, when Adam was very small baby,
il not before. The same writer refers TO
another California tree, which must be at
least seven thousand one hundred and
twenty.eight years old. The method in
which the computation was made Is thus
the writer took two peices OF the wood OF
the tree, one of the heart and another o
the sapwood, about an inch square each,
and he counted the concentric layers
which are supposed 10 indicate the annua
growth. In the heart wood he found IorIy
five layers TO the inch, and in the sap
wood twenty one and as the tree is
| fourteen feet in diameter, ten Of heart and
four of sap, the result was easily obtain
ed. The second tree spoken OF was thirty
nine feet in diameter.

GUARD AGAINST VULGAR LANGUAGE
There is as much connection between the
words and thoughts as there is between the
thoughts and words the latter are not only
the expression of the former, but they have
q power to their corruption there. young
man who allows himself to use vulgar and
profane words, has not only shown that
there is foul spot upon his mind, but by
tho utterance of that word. he extends that
spot and intames it. till, by indulgence it
will pollute the whole soul. Be careful of
your words as we'll as your thoughts. If
YOU can control tho tongue that no imprOp-
or words arc pronounced by it, you will DO
able. also, to control the mind, and save
that from corruption. You extinguish the
fire by smothering it, or by preventing bad
thoughts bursting out in language. Mover
utter u word anywhere which yOu would be
ashamed to speak in the presence of the
most refined female, or the most religious
nun. Try this practice little while, and
! you will soon have command OF yourself.
