What Makes a Man.

A man never knows what he is capable Of
until he has tried his powers. There seems
to be no bound to human capacity. Insight
aud energy will produce astonishing results.
How often modest talent, driven by circum-
stances to undertake some formidable looking
work, has tct its own untried and b thero
UNCONSCIOUS powers Using up to graphic and
to master, aud aferward stood amazed at its
unexpected success.
Those circumstances, those people, ene-
Lies and friends, that provoke us 20 any no.
bic. undertaking, are our greatest benefactors.
Opposition aud persecution do more for a
man than any seemingly good fortune The
sneers OF critics deve OPP the latent fire of the
young poet. The anathemas Of the angry
church inhame TIM zeal oil the reformer.-
Tyranny, threats, fagots, torture, raise up he
roes end martyrs, who might otherwise have
slept away slothful and ;houghtess lives,
never dreaming what splendid acts and words
lay buried in their bosoms. And who
knows but the wrongs Of Soclet" are permit
ted, because Of the tne gold which is beaten
out oil the crude ore OF humanity.
Here is the truth worth considering. Are
you in povery? Have you suffered wrong ?
Do circumstances oppose you! Are you be-
set by enemies? Now is your time! Never
lie there depressed and melancholy Spend
20 more time in idle whining. Up, like a
lion! Maze no complaint, but ii difficulty
fights you, roar your defiance. You are at
school, this is your necessary discipline, pow
city aud pain arc your masora-bnt use the
powers God mas given you, and you shall be
master at last. Fear Of failure is the most
fruitful cause Of failure. Stand firm and
you will not fail. What seems failure at
fist is scipline. Accept the lesson; up
and up again; strike aud strike again and
you shall always ain, whatever the fortune
of to-days or to-mo. row battle,

WHAT is LIFE ?-The following beautiful
description, in answer to this question, is from
Rev. MIR Mountford's Enthanasy:
1.-The present life is sleeping and waking ;
it is Good Night on going to bed, and
Good Morning on getting up; it is to won
der what the day will bring forth it is sun
shine and goominess; it is rain on the win
dow. as one sits by the fire; it is to walk in
the garden and see the flowers open, and hear
the birds sing; it is to have the postman
bring letters it is to have news from East,
West, North and South; 1t is to read old
books and new books; it is to see pictures
and hear music; it is to have Sundays; it is
to pray with family morning and evening
it is to sit in twilight and mediate; it is to
be well and sometimes i'll it is to have bus
mess to do, aud to do it; it is to have break
fast and dinner and tea it is to belong to a
town, and to have noighbors, and be one
In circle # acquaintanccs; it is to have
friends to love one; it is to have sight OF
dear old faces and with some men it is to
be kissed daily by the same loving lips, for
fifty years; and it is to know themselves
thought of many times day, in many
places, by children, grandchildren, and many
friends"

Evening

At this season of he year the sun gets up
very late in the morning, and makes up for
it by going to bed very early in til afternoon.
If it were not for the evenings, as Paddy
might say, we should have no afternoons ut
at all, But the long, quiet evenipg-it COM
pensatcs for all the short comings Of the day.
AS Co Vper has it:
"N stir the Are, and close the shutters fast,
Let fall the curtains, whee the sofa round,
And while the bubbllng and loud Kissing urn
Tlr ws upa seamy column, and III cups
That cheer but not inebriate, walt on each,
So let us welcome peaceful eaenng in"
Yes, welc me peaceful evening, when we
can lay aside the cares oil the busy day and
indulge in all the pleasures of home, sweet
home" Lig t the evening lamp. and give
the hours to reading, study, music and the
delights Of conversation. Let not the bust.
ness of the day intrude, for these hours are
consecrated to man shigher needs, and should

To The AGED.

The late Rev Mr. james, when an old
man, by reason of the inirmities of age,
could not Go much work for Christ out Of
doors. But his feeling then was, he could
glcrity Christ by suffering patiently whatev-
er God was pleased to lay upon him. He
wrote upon this subject:
| am still in circumstances calculated to
give solemnity to my reflections aud perhaps
some weight 10 my words. The pressure Of
d seaso upon my bodily frame has been ligh-
tened, but it has left me no longer strong
to labor. am on the verge Of old age,
a subject Of not few Of its iufrmities. The
evening o, life is come, and with it some o.
it's clouds. Should these clouds, however,
only furnish new theater on VIII Oh to dis
play the ustrc Of my setting sun, and afford
me IN opportunity Of clarifying Christ by
the passive virtues oil the Christian charac-
er,they ought 10 be more welcome than even
a clearer sky"
We remember that DR.. Alexander, in his
Religious Experience" says it is by nc
means an uncommon thing Tor old Chris
tians TO decline in spirituality Of mind, a:
they grow older, TO grow less like Christ
Let orr aged readers then be warned, and
let them, il not in their power to do much
Tor Christ, gladly sutf +, and that without
murmuring, whichever the Heavenly Father
Is pleased to lay upon US. The cid mist die
Let such Their be more and more IN eAruest
as the sands OF lie arc running out.

The Mother.
BY MRS. A. NJ. DUrTERFIELp.

The following touching incident is related by Ne
FORK paper having recently occurred in that city,
mother at the midnight hour,
And her lonely vigils kept;
No sound was heard save the ticking clock,
AS its hours in their circuit crept
She had mourned and wept through the lvelongday
Till now she could weep no more
And her swollen eyes with yearnng look,
Gaze out through the open door
Out through the door to little bed
With curtains Of snowy whites
Where her darling child, in rest unstlrred,
Sleeps on through the silent night.
But not the sleep that she lulled him to,
With his head on her loving breast
Strange hands have larttd the clustering hair,
And laid him down to his rest.
There's weary W light on the mourner's brain,
An ach ny void in her hearts
Yet he cherished hopes of TIE happy past,
Not all at once can depart
And he seems to stir in the fitful light,
And she lists for his breathing low
Theh sweepelh back o'er her shuddcring heart
he wave OF ltS DItef woe.
SURELY a sound and she gazeth out,
One more through the open door;
Now a lifted latch nov steal,hy foot
Is heard on the chamber floor.
Lo proving thief upon plumber bent,
Who enters in silence there,
Selling, with eager rapacous clutch,
On Jewels and raimpnt fair.
What cares she for treasures her dearest
Away from her love was torn;
And what is life Blu weary weight?
So, listless, she looketh on.
But now he urneth from his greedy quest,
And draws near the infants bed;
The mother starts from Ltr icy trance,
As he stands o.er her pr cOus dead.
Over the dead with its peaceful smile,
In its heavenly beauty fair,
Ha smothered troan, and his swarthy cheek
turns white as the 81. eper's there,
What Tired lis soul at that midnight hour,
Though stepped i'll the ypths crime,
What throngug mem'rie. of boy hood's hours,
Or vision If later time
What ,of eyes eazed from haunted past
No human tongue may say;
But gold and jewels he flung aside,
And in silence went his way.
Then p ace came down on that mother'sheart
Through the hours of the lonely night;
She fell the broodpg Of the angel wings,
Though dim was her aching sight.
And she knew the cild of her yearning love
Had need of her care more;
And lone though her daily path ght be,
seraph would watch her oer.

Marriage.

Marriage is to u woman at once the hap
rlesl aud the SaddcSt event OF her life; it is
the promise OF future bliss, raised On the
death OF all present en- oymcnt. Sac quits
her home, hcr parents, her companions, her
Occupations, hei amusementS, every thing on
which she has hitherto depended for COMFORT,
tor affection, or eiudueSs, for pleasure.
The parents by whose advice she has been
guided, The sste ~ whom She has cd I'M.
part every EN- ryo teenug and thought, the
brother mnO has played with h T., by turns
tie c)unselor and tue COUNSEL d, aud the
you geot children, 20 whom she has hitherto
been The mother aud the playmate, are all to
be forsakcn at one IeIl stroke; every former
tic Is looaoned, the spring of every hope and
action Is TO be changed and yet she flies
with joy into the untodden path before her;
buoycd up by the confidence o. requied love,
she bids loud aud grateful adieu TO the life
that is past, and turns with excited hopes and
joyous unticipalions OF the happiness to
COME hen Woe to the man who can blight
such fair hCpe-who can treucherously lure
such heart from its peaceful enjoyment
and the watchtuI protection at home-who
can, coward-lke, break the illusions that
have won her, aod destroy the confidence
that love had inspired. Woe to him who
has too early Withdrawn the tender plant
from the props and stays Of moral discipline
in which she has been nurtured, and yet
make no effort their place for on him be
the responsibility OF her errors-on him who
has frs taught her, by his example, to grow
careless Of her duty, and then exposed her,
weakened spirit and unsatisfed heart, to the
wild storms and willy tie ptations Of sinful
world.

HAVE A RIGHT A1M.-Men fail in their
schemes not so much from want Of strength
as from the i'll direction of it. The weak est
living creature, by concentrating its powers,
and using them steadily on single object,
can accomplish some hing; the strongest, by
dispensing his efforts or intermiIting them
Often may fail to accomplish anything
Have right aim, and work f,ithfully to
reach it. Happiness is never gained without
perscvering effort.
Work on for some good be It ever slowly;
Cherish some flower, be 1t ever so lowly
Labor, all labor is noble and holy"
Wealth is not acquired, as many persons
suppose, by fortunate specuations and SPLEEN
did enterprises, but by the daily practice of
industry, economy and frugality. He who
relies upon these means Wi rarely be found
destitute, and he who relies upon any other
will generally become bankrupt.

VOKUME XI. NO. 8.
The San Juan Question.

The London Times obigingly proposes
q settlement of the San Juan difficulty, on
the very accommodating terms Of taking
that island about which there is dispute
in regard to title, and giving Uucle Sam
nil the rest OF the islands on the American
side, about which there is no dispute
whatever. This proposition has at least
Que merit, it would settle the dispute al
once.
When the American authorities came
down, In the reign Of James X. Polk, Of
immortal memory, from their claim OF 81
deg. 40ulin. or fght, 10 the line Ct as
line ran directly through the island Of
Vancouver, leaving not half, but very
large portion oft on the American side Of
the line. As we were disposed 10 be
very accommodating about thst time, and
as John Bull never yet failed of getting
what he wanted in consequence Of any ex-
traordnary dilfdence on the part Of bis
well.,rained diplomatic corps in asking for
fayors, the American Government unccre.
noniouslg relinquishcd the southern hal!
OF Vancouver, and allowed the line 10
run in the channel which separated that
island from the main land, and from other
Islands that lay contiguous to the Amer-
can coast. Considering this stretch OF
liberality on that occasion, it does seem n
little cool, for the English authorities in
those parts, TO step over on to the next
largest island to Vancouver, lying wholly
below the line OF 49leg., and claim tina,
as British Territory. We don't suppose
Anybody would think ii worth while 10 60
to war about few acres OF land on the
North West Coast, having no speca
value as a military position ; but VIC &c
feel very much as il our Government hac
better ask Lord Palmers;on to Withdraw
The British occupancy FROM San Juan JUS
AS soon as he can conveniently send order
there to evscuatc the premises; aud VI
should be very much inclined 10 conside
a failure TO DO this on Lord Palmerston'
part, as persisting in an impertInsnce.-
