One sunny spring morning | stood on the
south western shore OF Staten Island where
the waters of Princes Bay CIV raise their
solemn hymn of praise to the Great Eternal.
Far a. ay to the south east stretched the
bound less ocean, so terrible when the storm
cloud lowers, and the wild winds rage, so glo-
rious and magnificent when the sun tinges it's
white crested waves with halo Of glory
The b ach where l stood seemed peculiarly
bleak and barren, which, however, was reliev-
ed by the neat cottages and fine country seats
in the background. The rising tide heaved
listlessly over fragments of oyster shells and
ruined boats, and here and there stranded
skif might have been seen. The New Jer-
sey shore, visible in the distance, seemed in
direct contrast with the barren beach upon
which stood. 1t looked ike fairy spot,
where the heart might repose in peace, and
the imagination revei in unmarried beauty
spoke to friend that stood near, of the
seeming contrast, who replied that notwith-
standing the apparent beauty of the distant
shore, it VIA, in reality far more dreary than
the one upon which We stood.
In the anticipation of worldly pleasure, We
see nothing but unaloyed happiness and en-
joyment. The imagination clothes every
thing with unreal beauty, and We forget the
duties and blessings Of the present, in look
ing forward to the future. But alas, when
we have reached the goal SO much desired,
and have grasped the pleasures so long an
ticpated, we find that we have sought vani-
ty and vexaton and we have grasped phan-
toms. The rainbow hues that tinged our OK
pectation, are dispersed by the stern reality,
and what seemed so beautiful and enchanting
before imm diately becomes meager and UNI
satisfying. Earth has nothing that can sat-
isfy the cravings of al immortal nature. 1t
is vain to seek happiness in wealth, honor, or
lame. " Riches take to themselves wings
and fee away;' honor is chaugeable and
tickle as the winds of heaven and fame Of
ten depends upon the breath of an undeserv-
ing multitude. The Gospel alon reveal. the
true source of happiness. alone reveals
an iucarnate Cod who hath taken our iniqui-
ties upon Himself, who giveth us in this life
that peace which "passeth understanding,
and who hath promised us in that which is to
come, joy unutt rable and tull Of glory. In
the Boo> Of Books it is written, for the con-
ISOLATION of those who bear the cross OF the
crucifed Redeemer in this life, that " eye
hath not seen, nor ear heard, Meth " have en-
tered into the heart of man, the things which
God hath prepared for them that love him"

False Etiquette.

We see much in society which passes cur
rent for gentility, poiteness, and the like,
which is, in reality, buugling counterfeit.
Some ladies imagine, if they are gentoel-
ly or richly dressed, that they have a
claim on the attention of others, far greater
than has cheaply dressed women; and men
and women too, are not ,low TO recognize
their claim, and yield to their pretensions.
Yet we oft II find that the most intelli-
gent, and the most really polite, are plainly
and cheaply dressed
Sitting the other day in the cabin Of a
steamer, Woman plainly clad, with child
in her arms, entered. The cabin maid took
no notice Of her, but permitted her to wait
upon herself to take off her own bonnet AID
shawl, as best she could, with her infant in
her arms. At our next port lady clad in
founced silk, with rich turs, stepped into
the cabin parlor. The maid was all atten-
ito. offers of assistance, in every possible
manner, W, re urged on her, and large
stuffed rocsingchair wheeled up to the stove
Tor her accommodation, while the plainly
clad woman still remained upon the immov-
able side sofa near the door, where she had
first seated herself
Before our journey was finished, we had
occasion to take the cars An elderly lady,
without crinolinc, ntered the crowded car,
and walking the whole length, declining our
offered seat, remained standing at the door.
Soon broad expanse of femininity entered
be-houuced, and bejeweled with sham togge-
ry. With mock majestic air she seemed to
say, Get up here M, and let me have
seat !" Half dozen men were instantly on
their feet, and this lady was accommodated
Ending our journey with stage ride of
some dozen miles we had an opportunity to
see this false politeness carried still further
A lady dress d in plain travelling dress,
with no jewelry, stopped into the stage
The back scat was full of men, but no one
attempted to move, and she, without seeming
to notice their positions, quietly seated her.
self on the front lat alone. Soon fashy-
acknowledgement woman was picked up"
She stood with one foot on the step, looking
at the back seat, as if in doubt about enter
ing. One Of the men Immediately arose,
and went over to the front seat, and the lady
seated herself with great complacency in his
place.
This is but faint outline of the false ETH
quette which is paid to appearances, as if
politeness were thing to be given only to
" dressed up" people,

THE SEED OF CRIME.-Amid much that is
exalted, we have, unhappily, formed class
by it-elf teratura Of the most debasing
kind. 1t does not contain "a single, element
OF mental greatness or spleudor. 1t is gross,
sensual, and revolutionary. It says:-
"There is no God" 1t savors Of perdition.
And its influence is potent. 1t reaches far
and spre IDS wide. It seldom enters draw
ing-room; it Is excluded from the pure pre-.
cincts of the family parlOr;" but it lies on
the wet and sloppy table Of the grog-shop-is
carried in the pocket of the prentice lad
find, hiding place in the drawer of thepoor
pale milliner-nestles on the greasy pillow Of
the mechanic who slumbers away the Sab
bath morn, and penetrates to every resort OF
vice and impurity.

Independence of Mind.

What different tastes and opinions people
have! Some think one thing, others think
another; some like the looks of one thing
while Others think it perfectly disgusting
We SELDOM meet with person whose opin-
ion is the same as our own, in all respects it
may be in regard to some things, in regard to
something else it is entirely different. 1t
would be very agreeable indeed to have peo-
pie think TIE same as ourselves, sometimes,
and often we get Little offended to think
they do not agree with US, and it has often
led to enmity between former friends. Though
occasionally we meet person who has not
much mind Of their own, therefore agree with
everything that is said and think they are
| gaining friends by so dong. Ofteutimes
snch PEG lie do gain friends, but they do not
last long. One who has mind and opinion
of their own gains the most friends. What
privilege it is, then, that we have right
to think, speak and act for ourselves, and do
not have to think " so and so" because some.
body else does. R. W.

PEACE. Peace is better than joy. JOY
is an uneasy guest, and always on tiptoe to
depart. 1t tires and wears us out, and yet
keeps us ever fearing that the next moment
will be gone, Peace is not so-it comes
more quietly, it stays more contentedly, and
it never exhausts our strength, nor gives us
one anxious thought Therefore, let us pray
for peace, 1t is the gift Of COMPROMISED
to all His children; and if we have it in our
hearts we shall not pine for joy, though its
bright wings never touch us while We larry

The Fruit Of Love.
April, 1860.

1t is not hard to bear with those whom you
love. If love sleeps, then it may be hard to
bear with them; but while it dawns forth, it
is easy to overlook their faults. That thir-
teenth chapter of First Corinthians, where
charity is said to endure all things, hope all
things, seek all things, expect all things, and
wait for all things-what regal and glorious
chapter that is There are some peculiar
scenes, think, which await us in the world
that is just before us. hink that il there
is any one thing that parents long for, it is
the full rcquital of all the love they have be-
slowed on their children, which they do not
get in this world, think that they plant
their love in their children, and that it does
not come up in thousand Of cases, till they
stand together in the better land. 1t will be
paid back there. Persons do great deal Of
unrequited Christian work here, one with
another, which does not seem to produce any
fruit. | think it will bear fruit in heaven.
They will see it therc.-H. w. Beecher.

Our Liquor Law is staunch and true,
Twill save the Mountain State,
Retailer think" Can't put it through" -
They've made great mistake.
This liquor laws vermifuge,
And sure all worms to kill
Especially if rightly used,
The tape-worm of the still.
Our liquor law will never die,
Its life is we'll insured;
Tokill it, let the g. ummies try,
The poicy's secured.
Secured, within each honest heart,
What e'er opposers say
Cold-water men will g toe the mark
They don't get " DER the bay"
This infart giant has power,
We soon shall understand;
Rumsellers will before it cover
And need helping hand.
The ladies too, will do their part,
We think they're ready now
To press this infant to their heart,
And christen it, Neal Dow
