Instinct or Preaentlmenf.

A gentleman an acquaintance of the ccle.
brated French authoress, Nine Beamond, was
about making pleasure trip on the river with
a party of friends. Every thing was ready,
and he was just entering the boat, when his
sister, a deaf mute, came suddenly and most
anxiously running along, and, seizing her
brothers arm and coat, tried to keep him
back, but, finding this unavailable, she threw
herself at his feet, and taking hold of his knees
expressed by the most imploring gestures her
wish that he should desist from going on the
water. Touched by the painful, entreating
expression in the face and posture of the deaf
mute, several persons joined in the prayers
of the poor unfortunate girl, and her brother
finally yielded to their wishes 1t was for
tunate he did so for the boat had gone but a
short distance on the river when sudden
gust of wind made it capsize. Several of the
company found watery grave, and he who
could not even swim, would do doubt have
met with the same fate if his sister, by some
dvining presentiment, had not prevented his
going.
Prof. Buehner at Marburg, being once in
very pleasant company, felt a very strong de-
sire to 60 home and remove his bed from its
old place to another corner of his bed room.
He yielded to the impulse. Having done so,
he field again at ease and went back to his
friends During the night large portion of
the ceiling in the room, just at the spot where
his bed formerly stood, crumbed down, and
would no doubt have crushed him to death had
it not been removed from there.

Good Advice 10 Young Women.

Trust not to uncertain riches, but prepare
yourselves for every emergency in life. Learn
to work, and not be dependent on servants to
make your bread sweep your floors and
darn your own stockings. Above all, do not
esteem to highly those honorable young men
who sustain themselves and their aged pa
rents, by the work of their own hands, while
your caresS and receive into your company
those lazy, idle popinjaws, who never lift a
finger TO help themselves as long as they can
keep body aud soul together and get funds
sufficient to live in fashion. If you are wise,
you will look at this subject in the light we do,
and when you are old enough to become
wives you will prefer the honest mechanic,
with not cent to commence life, to the fash
ionable loater, with a capital of ten thousand
dollars. Whenever we hear remarked, "such
a young lady married fortune" we always
tremble for her future prosperity. Riches
left to children by wealthy parents turn out
to be a curse instead ofblessing. Young wo-
men, remember this, and instead of sounding
the purse Of your lovers and examining the
cut of their coats, look into their habits and
their hearts. Mark if they have trade, and
can depend upon themselves sec that they
have minds which will lead them to look above
butterfly existence. Talk not of the beau
tiful white skin and soft delicate hand, the
splendid form and fine appearance of the young
gentlemen. Let not these foolish considera-
tons engroSs our thoughts.

THE OLD FARM HOUSE.

In little grove of shade trees
Stands farm house brown and old
With wealth ofviues around It.
uemm'd with flowers of red and gold
BY the path which makes circle
Of white sand around the lawn,
Grow sweet timothy and clover,
Rosy as a June day dawn.
Round its door pale morning glories,
Jump-up-J Johnnies. dahlias, pinks,
Cluster-concecrated beauties,
Married by thousand links
Links of love. the work of natures
Mystery of handicraft
Links Of glory, through which fairy
Argosies OF perfume watt.
And the gate that swings before it.
AND the fence as white as snow,
Stand on variegated cushions.
Which the sun-fire sets aglow.
Growing them with many colois-
Yellow. purple, green and blue
As if rainbow had there fallen.
Melted into rarest dew.
On its roof the greenest moses
Catch the shadows from the trees:
On ITS sides red honeysuckles
Make their curtesies to the breeze;
Aud the ever nervous willows,
Standing near the gardens bound,
Throw web of shade fantastic
On the clover-mantled ground.
Ger the we'll an arch of grapevine,
Formed with heaven directed care,
Chains the shadows to the water,
Making cool the summer air;
And tiny church, its steeple
Piercing through bower of leaves,
II a sure and sacred refuge
Where the wren her carol wea YES.

Dr. Holmes concludes his table-talk in the At
lantic Monthly for October with this sweet LITTLE
poem. The reader will agree with us that the las
stanza but one contains, if not a new thought, a
least one admirably uttered:
Her hands are cold her face is white;
No more her pulses come and go;
Her eyes are shut to life and light:
Fold the white veSture, snow on snow,
And lay her where the yiolets blow.
But not beneath craven stone,
To plead for tears with alien eyes;
A slender cross of wood alone
Shall say, that here a maiden lies
In peace beneath the peaceful skies.
And gray old trees of hugest limb,
Shall wheel their crcling shadows round,
To make the scorching sunlight dim
That drinks the greenness from the ground
And drop their dead leaves on her mound.
When Ger their bough ghs the squirrels run,
And through their leaves the robins call,
And, ripening in the Autumn sun,
The acorns and the chestnuts fall
Doubt not that she will heed them all.
For her the morning choir shall sing!
Its mathis from the branches high,
And every minstrel-vOice of spring,
That trills beneath the April sky,
Shall greet her with its earliest cry.
When, turning round their dial-track,
Eastward the lengthening shadows pass;
Her little mourners clad in black
The crickets, sliding through the grass,
Shall pipe for her an evening mass.
At last the rootlets of the trees
Shall find the prison where she lies,
And bear the buried dust they seize
In leaves and blossoms to the skies
So may the soul that warmed il rise.
If any, born of kindlier blood,
Should ask, What maiden lies below?
Say only this: 4 tender bud
That tried to blossom in the snow,
Lies withered where the violets blow

TREASURES OF THOUGHT.

rive are sorry we cannot recall the name Of th
author of the poem called Treasures OF Thought
Because he inculcates contentment and forgetfu
ness there is no reason why he should not get th
credit of his thoughts Here is the poem uncret
ited as we find it,
If thou hast thrown glorious thought
Upon life's common ways,
Should other men the gain have caught,
Fret not to lose the praise.
Great thinker, often thou shalt find,
While folly plumbers fame,
To thy rich stores the crowd is blind,
Nor knows thy very name
What matter that, if thou uncoil
The soul that God has given,
Not in the worlds mean eye to toll,
But in the sight Of Heaven
If thou art true, yet in thee turks
For fame human sigh,
To Nature go. and see her works,
The handmade of the sky.
Her own deep bounty she forgets
Is full of germs and seeds,
Nor glorifes herself, nor sets
Her flowers above her weeds.
She hides the modest leaves between,
She loves untrodden roads;
Her richest treasures are not seen
BY any eye but Gods.
Accept the lesson. Look not for
Reward-from out thee chase
All selfish ends and ask no more
Than to fulfil thy place.
