The True Wisdom.

A man may know all about the rocks,
and his heart remain as hard as they are
man may know all about the winds, and
be the sport Of passions as fierce as they !;
a man may know all about the stars, and
his fate be the meteor's, that, after a
brief and brilliant career, is quenchcd in
eternal night man may know allabout
the sea, and his soul resemble its troubled
waters, which cannot rest q man may
know how to rule the spirits of the ele-
ments, yet know not how to rule his own;
man may know how to turn aside the
flashing thunderboIt, but not the wrath of
God from his own guilty head; he may
know all that La Place knew-all that
Shakespeare llnew-all that Watt knew
all that the greatest geniuscs have known;
he may know all mysteries and all
knowledge, but if he does not know his
Bible, what shall avail? take my stand
by the bed of Il dying philosopher as we'll
as of dying miser, and ask Of the worlds
wisdom as of the worlds wealth, What
shall it profit man if he gain the whole
world and lose his own soul?"
despise not the lights Of science, but
they burn in dying chamber as dim as
its candles. They cannot penetrate the
mists Of death, nor light the foot Of the
weary traveller on his way in that valley
through which we have all to pass.
Commend me, therefore, to the light
which illumines the last hour of life-com-
mend me to the light that cah irradiate
the face of death--commend me to the
light that, when all others are quenched,
shall guide my foot to the portals Of that
blessed world where there is no need of
the sun, and no need Of the moon, and no
need of created lights, for God and the
Lamb are the light thereof Brethren,
leave others to climb the sleeps of fame
brother, sister, put your feet upon the lad
der that scales the Sky; nor mind though
your brows arc never crowned with IA
ding bays if you win, through faith in
Jesus, the crown Of eternal life.

MATERNAL INFLUENcE-The biography
of almost any person, faithfully written,
would ascribe to a mothers influence the
moulding, not only Of dyouthful character,
but the more maturcd forms of mental
and moral devel lopmcnt in after life. In
decd, vast majority Of our greatest and
best men have traced to the early coun-
sells of maternal afStion much Of the
good influence and right action which
characterized their Intercourse. Nor has
this been confined to the more elevated
or wel-educated classes in society; but
the humblest abode of honest povertyh has
often sent forth, from maternal lips, the
soundest of life's lessons and the most
abiding and most blessed Of its influences.
When daily toll or absence, chilling in
difference to domestic duties, or beastly
intoxication, even, have dried up all the
springs of fathers lovc-rcndering his
influence negatively of no good account,
but positively of evil, and often of afro
cious cxamplc-the mother, dispirited
and brollen-hearted though she may be
as ute, still, as Il mother, has often prov
cd herself, under Heaven, the guardian
angel of an otherwise abandoned and dcs-
oate household.
The influence thus shed is often the al
most hopeless casting of bread upon the
waters" 1t is often not found in any Of
its favorable developments, until "after
many" very many s:days." The cares OF
the world, and the evil examples of it
the bustling and bcsieging sins of indi-
viduals and of fcommunitics counter
acting example, perhaps, Of a fathers life
and conversation-oftcnc choke the word
of faithful mother and destroy it's vitali-
ty. But not unlreauently it will be found
like seed long buried in the earth, to
spring up to remembrance in after-life-
and the counsel impaired to the ''infant
of days" be found to influence and per-
haps control the whole destiny of the man
of years and gray hairs.

VOLUME NUMBER 8.
Eumors of the Census.

Although the marshals engaged in tax
ing the census sometimes experience an
noyances,. yet they occasionally meet
with persons who afford them no little
amusement. Their task is often a hard
one, and exposes them to charges Of inn
pertinence from those who really do not
understand the Importance of number
ing the people," One of the marshals of
New Jersey, whose field of operations is
in the interior, at a place somewhat re-
mote from railroad depots found cconside;;
rable difficulty in getting information
from an ''ancient maiden LADY, whom he
had addressed on the subject.
"Taling the senses, air you? Wel,sI
reckon you can't take none here" She
was indignant at mis- first remark. ."'Taint
none of your business who lives here or
who owns this place. It's paid for, and
every cent of tax on it tew. 'Taint best
for you tew come shopping around tofnd
out matters that don't consarn you"
Her body, interposed at the doorway,
although thin and wiry, prevented his
passage into the house. The marshal
would gladly have taken seat, but she
offered no such luxury to her inquisitor
"Hev 1 ever been marrit2- Well, what
next 1 wonder Perhaps you'd like to
have our pedigree right down from Adam.
But you can't! I 'spect you're some fell
low from York, come out to seek whom
you may devour. You'd better go back
again. Take our senses, indeedlD
The marshal tried to explain matters,
to give her to understand the necessity
and requirements of the law, and particu-
larly,to convince her that he was not o
resident of Gotham. He utterly failed,
however, for his next question only in
creased her anger. @Hev I got any chill
drcn Why you impertinent puppy, how
dare you aspcrsc my character? Here
hev I livedssfor forty-eight years, and nev-
CT been ten mile from home. Eff you
doubt my respectfully, you'd better go
to our minister, he knows all about me;
he lived here when I was born; he knows
that all I possess in the world is this farm
and the two houses down in the village,
worth altogether about fifteen Thousand
dollars. He can tell you that ] lived
with my father till he died, having no
brothers and sisters, and that | never was
marrit, and haint got no children; he is
well acquainted with the folks living with
me, which is a little girl, farm man and
a big stout Irish girl I'm woman of few
words and don't allow meddlers,"
The good woman had now worked her
self into passion, and turning away
slammed the door in his face. From her
remarks, however, he gained the follow
ing facts: "Miss Abigail; forty
eight; never married; has no children
property worth $4,000; has no brothers
OF sisters; carries on farming;' which
after all was about all the information he
cared to possess.

ALL FOR THE BEsT.-Blessed are they
that are blind, for they shall sec no ghosts.
Blessed are they that are deaf, for they
need never to lend any money, nor listen
to any tedious stories.
Blessed are they that are afraid ofthun-
der for they shall hesitate getting marri-
ed, and keep away from political meet
ings.
Blessed are they that are ignorant, for
they are happy in thinking that they know
everything.
Blessed is he that is ugly in form and
features, for the girls shan't molest him.
Blessed is she who would get married
but can't, for the consultations of the gos-
pei are hers.
Blessed are the orphan children, for
they have no mother to spank them.
