WISE men minglo mirth with their cares, as q

To resort to intoxication for the ease of one s

The barren fig tree was not cursed because it

The vanity of human life is like river con

THERE is no occasion to. .trample upon the mean

lnsolence and baseness are equally unmanly,

The Student,

lie mad toiled earnestly and loo lonn.
Like an imprisoned bird, his spirit s,ruS-
Cling for more perfect freedom, had beat
against its prison bars, and now its earthly
tabernacle was shattered.
1t is melancholy 10 see the decay, the
gradual dropping, and premature death Of
the young and strangely gifted. How
many hopes--how many affections, clus-
tered around and cIinging to such an in.
dividual, are wlhered and crushed by
the blow that lays their object in the dust !
The altar is overthrown, and The Offering
profaned
The student sat alone. His task was
done. One pale cheek rested upon his
emaciatcd hand, and bis eyes we're fixed
thoughtlully upon the volume before him
yet the page was to him but blurred
and confused mass. His mind was away
among earlier days and brighter scenes
lie thought Of the past, and faint smile
lighted up for a moment, his pallid coun-
tenance. There were hopes, and joys,
and aspirations. and anticipated triumphs,
that came thronging upon his soul, 10 that
brief retrospect, and his strong ambition
awoke again-to die!
The panorama passed. The realities
of the present were before his eyes and
lie signed TO think that the brilliant
promise Of his morning had departed ere
noon. The object for which he had toiled
was uEattained. Ease had been foregone,
health sacrificed, the springing affections
ct his heart cfushed down and strang led
in their birth, but the prize he sought was
still unwon. Oh, Fame thou mocker Of
the sangune heart ! how much OF life, of
love and peace hath been inundated upon
thy aItar-in vain How few OF thy vo-
tares win the need for which they toll J
Solemniy passed the night. The
blushing dawn looked timidly over the
earth, and the birds were musical among
the trees. Men came forth to labor, but
the pale student came not with them.-
His last labor was done.

TIE OTHER LIFE-A BEAUTIFUL 1LLUsTRA-
TIoN.-If a child had been horn and spent
all his life in the Mammoth Cavo, how inn
possible would it be for HIM 10 comprehend
,he upper world Parents might tell him
of it's life. and light and beauty, and its
sounds of JOY they might heap up the sand
into mounds, and try to show him by sialac-
titles. how grass. and flowers, and trees grow
out of the ground TIL at length, with la
borious thinking. the child would fancy he
had gained a true idea of the unknown land.
And yet, though he longed to behold it.
when the day came that he was TO go forth,
it would be with regret for the familiar
crystals and rock-hewn rooms, and the
quiet that reigncd therein. But when he
came up, some May morning, with ten thou
sand birds singing in the trees. and the
heavens bright and blue. and full Of sun
light, and the wind blowing softly through
the young leaves, all a.glttcr with dew, aud
the landscape stretching away green and
beautiful to the horizon, with what rapture
would he gaze about him, and see how poor
were all tho iancyings and the interpreta,
lions which were made within the cave, OF
the things which grew and lived without
and how no would wonder that he could
ever have regretted to leave the silence aud
drcarv darkness of his old abode. So, when
We emerge from this cave of earth into that
land v here spring growths are, and where is
eternal summer, how shall we wonder that
we have clung so iondly to this dark and
barren life!

IRON MoEE USEFUL THAN GoLD.-"I
have in my hand" said Edward Everett,
"a gold watch, which unites beauty and
use in happy proportions. Its hands,
face, chain and case are chased and bur-
nished gold. Its gold seals sparkle with
the ruby, tapaz, sapphire, and emerald.
Open it, and find that the works. without
which this elegantly furnished case would
be but mere shell, are made Of brass.
Looking farther, and asking what the
spring, which puts all these wheels in mo-
lion. is IN ade Of, and l am told it is steel.
ask, What is steel They tell me i. is
iron which has undefe zone certain pro-
cess. So then / find the handspring,
without which the watch would be always
motionless, is not Of gold, (that would not
do, J but of iron. Iron therefore is the
most precious metal, and this watch is an
emblem Of society. Its hands and
fingers, which tell the hour, resemble the
asler.spir,s of the age. 10 whose move
ment every eye is directed. Its works of
brass are the middle class, by whose
power and intelligence the master-spirits
Of the age are moved ; and its iron main
spring, shut up in box, always at work
and little though Of, is the laboring class,
whose constant labors are absolutely ne
cessary 10 tie movement of society, and
who, when injured or diSordered, bring
loss and disorder upon every other class"

SHUN AFEEoTATIoN.-Ther is nothing
more beautiful in the young than sim
plcity of character. II is honest, frank,
and attractive. How different is affecta-
lion !! The simple minded are always nat
ural. They are at the same time origin
al. The affected are never natural. And
as for originality, il they ever had it,they
have crushed it out. and buried it from
sight utterly. Be yourself, then, young
friend !! To attempt to he anybody else
is worse than folly. 1t is an impossibilily
to attain it. 1t is contemplate to try
But suppose you could succeed in imila-
ting the greatest man that ever figured in
history, would that make you any the
greater ? By no means. You would al
ways suffer in comparison with the imita-
ted one, and be thought Of on ly as the
sound-the counterfeit OF a pure coin
DR.. johnson aptly compared The kear;less
imitator-lor such is he who affects the
character Of another-to the Empress oI
Russia, when she did the freakish thing
of erecting palace OF ice. 1t was spen-
did and conspicuous while it lasted. But
the sun soon melted it, and caused its al.
fractions to dissolve into common water,
while the humblest stone cottage stood

your character, though ever so humble,

else. Shun aHectalion.

set type naver thinks what the letters ara

or looks at one of them as they 60 in. But
when he first began to set type. it was Q
very different thing with him. He looked
and read, "And as they departed thence"
etc. and so began, "Aud" a; and then he
had to SEQ which end was Up He puts in
a ard then comes to n. He takes up
wrong letter He puts that back and gets
the right one, and making sure about it puts
the right one in. Then he gets d and puts
that in. Thon he thinks, nov there Is
space wanted, and ho divides the word from
the next one. Then comes the next WORD,
and he looks at the types letter by letter,
aud makes mistakes at that! But go q

IN THE RIGHT BE STRONG.

Go boldly forth and fear no i'll,
When fierce oppressors rise,
Let mental strength, abnunding still,
Such puny fears dcspisc.
Though stung with many bitter word,
And prosecuted long,
Yet let them pass os it unheard,
And in he right be strong!
The noblest causes ever known
Have met with scofl and iser--
The brave though journcying alone,
Should never yield to fear
Go onward-up the rugged steep,
Beyond the tagging throng;
Thy own hearts counscls wisely keep,
And in the right be strong!
Although grown weary, strive not less,
No duty leave undone;
Soon will oppressors join to bless
The deeds thy daring won.
The strife once over, then will earth
Send forth her sweetest song,
To laud and bless the noble worth
That in the right was strong
Have faith-have courago--never fear,
The promise is in sight;
The Lamp OF Truth is shining clear,
To Danish Errors night.
Though trials gather thick and fast,
And all the world be wrong,
Onward, still onward to the last,
And in the right be strong!

indigenous race. The Arabs are tall race,
of dark complexion, equestrian, nomadic,
warllke, religious, pOetical and polygam0us.

Spring, l hail thy ushering
Thou'rt come with balmy breezes,
And frequent genial rains which bring
A fragrant air that peases
My every sense
Thou dost dispense
New life to every shrub and tree,
And rouse TO active life the bee.
Natures minstrels-- tiny things
Exultantly full chorus raise,
Until the forest londly rings
With wnrbing, sweet harmonious lays,
Attuned to thee,
That thou dost free
All things from Winters thraldom sore,
And bring them sunny days once more.
delight in thee as they,
Enjoying much thy bracing air;
love to see thy zephyrs play,
When calling forth the flowers fair,
From beds of clay,
To light Of day,
That they may, as they pass them by,
Receive sweet odors as they fly.
Earth is donning once again,
Her beautiful rich dress of green,
And winding through each vale and glen,
Pure, pearly, pebbly, brooks are seen;
The icy lid
Meath which they hid,
Is lifted, and their murmuring song
Thy welcome sounds as they dance along
