LOVE AND OPPOSITION.
From the Italian.

From the Italian.
Lote, in drowsy mood one day,
Reclined with all his nymphs around MIN,
His feathered darts neglected lay,
And faded were the flowers that crowned hinl.
Young Hope, with eye Of light in vain
Led smiling Beauty to impiore him.
While Genius poured his sweetest strain,
Aud Pleasure shook his roses DER him.
At length q stranger sought the grove,
Aud fiery Vengeance seemed to guide him;
He rudely tore the wreaths of Love,
And broke the darts tina. lay beside him.
The little god now wakeful grew,
And angry at the bold endeavor,
He rose, aud wove his wreaths anew.
And strung his bow more firm than ever.
When 10 the invader cried Farewell
My skill, bright aymphs, this lesson teaches--
While Love is sprightly, bind him well
With smiles and songs, and honeyed speeches:
But should dull languor seize the god,
Recall me on my friendly mission;
For know when Love begins to nod,
Hssurest spur is opposition"

CoLDs.-If a man begins to cough as
the result of a common cold, it is the
result Of nature herself attempting the
cure, and she will effect it in her own
time, and more effectually than any
man can do, if she is only let alone,
and her instincts cherished. What are
those, instincts? She abhors food, and
Graves warmth. Hence, the moment a
man is satisfied that he has taken a
cold, let him do three things: LIST, eat
not an atom I'd, go to bed and cover
up warm in a warm room Sd, drink
as much cold water as he wants, or as
much hot herb tea as he can, and, in
three cases out Of four, he will be almost
entirely we'll within thirty six hours.
If he does nothing for his cold for
eighty four hours after the cough COM
mences, there is nothing that he can
swallow that will, by any possibility,
do him any good, for the cold. with
such start, will run its course of about
a fortnight, in spite of all that can be
done, and what is swallowed in the
meantime, in the way Of physic, is a
hlndrarce, and not good. Feed a
cold and starve a fever,'' is a mis-
chlevous fallacy. A cold always brings
a fever the cold never begins to &c,
we'll until the fever begins to subside
but every mouthful swallowed is that
much more fuel to feed the fever, and,
but for the fact that as soon as the
cold is fairly seated, nature, in a kline
OF desperation, steps in and takes avs J
this appetite, the commonest colo
would be followed by very serious re.
suits, and in frail people would be al
most always fatal. These things being
so, the very fact of waiting torty-eigh
hours, gives time for the cold to fl,
itself in the system, for cold does no
usually carse cough until day or TIVE
is passed, and then to wait two days
longer, gives it its fullest chance to d.
its work before anything at all is done

LITTLE FAULTS. Homes are more
often darkened by the continual re-
currence Of small faults, than by the
actual presence of any decided vice.
These evils are apparently of very
dissiinilar magnitude We, it is easier
to grapplc with one than the other.
The Eastern traveller can combine his
forces, and hunt down the tiger that
prowls about his path but he fn1s it
scarcely possible to escape the mosqui-
toes that lnfest the air lie brcathes, or
the feas that swarm IN the send he
treads. The drunkard has been known
to 'enounce his aarling vice the slave
70 dress and extravaganza, her beset-
ting sin; but the waspish temper, the
irritating tone, rude, dogmatic man
uer, and the hundred namelcss negli-
gences that spoil the beauty Of associ-
alton, have rarely done other than
proceed till the action Of disgust and
gradual alienation has turned all the
currents Of fFection from their course,
leaving nothing but barren track,
over which the mere skeleton of COM
panionsh'p stalks alone.
