Every sound was hushed as the

until she was quite close to the two

through her tears while her sobs

fearful groan, sank senseless into the

isn't beautiful!"7
She is not very fair-and yet
/ love her quiet face;
She wears not beauty's coronet,
But there's tender grace
| Upon her brow. and in her eyes
A light which could not be
If her thoughts were not swse, harmonies-
She's beautiful to me!
Not beautiful save when the flush
Of feeling dyes her cheek:
When her lips are sealed beneath Its gush.
And leave her eyes to speak
Not beautiful ave when some thought
OF goodness sends its glow
Across the face by art untaught
And yet--I love her so!
Yet she is beautiful, though small
The gifts that over-lie
The soul, so beautiful in all
In all that cannot die;
Goodness is beauty; this why
The tides of friendship roll
Up from my heart. ndlight my eye
lOre her for her soul!
The very fairest form of earth,
And the most faultless face,
That ever sculptor shadowed forth
With rare exceeding grace
If all unlit by feelings SUD,
Were cold and dark TO me-
Oh! The heart! The beartl IT'S that alone
Gives grace and harmony.
The heart! The heart. Give me the heart!

However fair each separate part,
If it need the SPIRITS grace
Give me the heart, Tcare lot how
The form may moulded be;
II perfect love light up the BROW,
'Tis beautiful to me!
Oh ye! Who spend yotN precious day
In vain essays to gid
With arts deceit each fading face;
All! if you souls were filed
With grace and beauty, know re Lot
Its radiance would appear
Upon each forehead shining out,
More bright from ear to year?
Goodness is beauty. Be We pure,
Let lore rule every thought;
And then grace which shall endure
Awondrous grace which naught
Can spoil or tarnish shall brea forth,
Shall FIRE the dullest eye,
Make fair the darkest face on earth
With light that cannot die!

TEE EVERGREEN
BY GEORGE P. MORRIS.

Love cannot be the aloe tree,
Whose bloom but once ia seen;
Go search the grove-tbe tree Of love
Is sure the evergreen:
For that's the name, in leaf or frame
Meath cold or sunny skies;
You take the ground its roots have bound
Or it, transplanted, diesi
That love thus shoots, and firmly roots
In woman's heart, we see;
Through smiles and tears in after years
1t grows fadeless tree.
The tree of love, all trees above,
Forever may be seen,
In Summers bloom or Winters gloom,
A hardy evergreen.

phene lamp, hanging in the aisle exploded, to
the great CONSERVATION of the congregation.
Every person at ence thought the church on
FIRE. The ladies became very much frig hten-

the top of their voices. A rush was made
for the door. In the excitement, some per-
sons dreading the consequences of delay,
bounced through one of the windows carry

Although for while all thought that es-
cape from death or serious injury would be
impossible, yet no person was hurt. The
floor of the building caught Ere; bat the
flames were soon extinguised. The alarm Of
fire brought all the inhabitants of the town
to the church. A more thankful people would
be hard to find than they were at their Pro-

The Slave Bark Orion. -MortolSty on
Board.-It was mentioned few days ago
that the bark Orion, of New York, Captain
Morgan, was at st. Helena on the 9th Of
December, in charge of the United States
steamer Mystic, having been captured on
the coast of Africa with slaves ON board
The following are the particulars of the cap
ture:
In the early part of December the British
war steamer Pluto fell in with bark show
ing American colors, but suSpectiRg her OF
being SLAYER, sent boat on board, and
found her to be the Orion of New York,
Captain Morgan, from the coast of Africa.
with 1,023 slaves on beard, bound to Cuba.
Dlsregarding her nationality right of search,
&C., the stealper put prize crew on board
and took her to st. Helena. On the passage
l52 of the slaves died, viz: 40 men, so boys,
women, "a girls, and 20 others, sex not
reported. When captured the Orion had
on board 272 men, 800 boys, 68 women, l27
girls, and others sex not specified. When
the Pluto and the Orion arrived at st. Hele-
the British commander surrendered the sla.
yer to the United States steamer Mystic,
which will doubtless send her to port in
the United States for trial. The SLAYER,
however, were landed, and would remain
uuder the care of the United States Consul
until advised by the commodore on the sta
tion what further disposition to make oil
them.

Protest Against Early Risimg.-Dr. Hall,
in the February number of his Journal of
Health, says: .
One of the very worst economies OF time
is that Hlched from necessary sleep. The
Wholesale but blind cemmendatiOn of Eearly
rising is as mischievoas in practice as it is
errant in theory. Early rising is a crime
against the noblest part OF our physical ns-
ture, unless it is preceded by an early re-
firing. Multitudes of business men in large
cities count it saving of time If they can
make Journey of hundred or two miles
at night by steamboat or railway. 1t is a
ruinous mistake. 1t never fails to be follow
ed by a want of general well feeling for sew
eral days after, if,indeed, the man does not
return home actually sick, or so near it as to
be unfit for full attention to his business
for week afterwards. When man leaves
home on business it it always important that
he should have his wits about him; that the
mind should be fresh and vigorous, the spirit
lively, buoyant and cheerful. No man can
say that it is thus with him after a night
on railroad or on the shelf of steam
boat.
The first grand recipe for sound, connec-
ted, and refreshing sleep is physical exer-
else. Toll is the price of sleep.
We caution parents, particularly, not to
allow their children be walked up of morn
ings; let nature awake them up, she will not
do it prematurely, but have care that they
GO to bed at an early hour; let it be earlier
and earlier, until it is found they wake up of
themselves in full time to dress for breakfast.
Being walked up early, and allowed to en-
gagein difficult or any studies late and just
before retiring, has given many beautiful
and promising child brain fever, or deter
mind ordinary ailments to the produc ton OF
water on the brain.

The Coinage Of Cents.-Messrs Burnett d
Co., well known bankers of Boston, furnish
the following statement, which explains how
the brokers can sell the new coinage of cents
as a discount:
"In order to accomplish the double pur-
pose of removing from circulation the Span
ish fractions of dollar, and in introducing
the new cent coin, it was, by the act Of Feb
ruary 81, 1857, provided, that the pieces
commonly known as the quarter, eighth and
sixteen of the Spanish silver dollar and Of
the Mexican dollar should be received at
the Mint sat the nominal rates of 25, l21z
and 81 cents respectively in exchange for
cents of the new issue at par. Under this
arrangement, brokers buy Spanish coin by
the piece, or at weight, forward it to the
Mint, and exchange it at its nominal value
for the new cent coin at par. This enables
brokers to sell the cent coin in large
amounts at little discount, and still make
profit. As there is now very little Spanish
fractional coin in circulation, and as the law
expires by limitation upon the LIST of May,
1851, the coinage of cents cannot be very
lsrgsiy,increassd."

PRETTY IDEA.-Mitchelet, in his much
abused work on Love, observes: "Spinning,
knitting, embroidery, needIe-work, are ex-
cellent employment for increasing the activ-
ity of the mind Of woman. Oh, pleasant
little labors, sweet tolls, you shall continue
despite any Indifference of machinery No
intrinsic advantages, no beauty of mechani-
cal workmanship, shall prevail over the
hours of a chaste and 10 dustrious woman
Ia them she sews up her gentleness, and
always feel therein the warmth of the char
ming heart which has been blended with
them"

Tragicot Love Affair "a Mtcht9on.-A
young man residing near Olivet, Eaton coun-
ty, Michigan, by the name Of Orville Wood :,
had been paying his addresses to Miss
Mack, whose family reside near the village
of Marshall, and they were engaged-the
marriage to take place soon. The young
man, with his intended, went to party,
where he INDUCED SO freely in liquor as to
raise objections on the part of the young
iady's rents to the contemplated union
She in med her affianced that she had
rather q 9 than disobey her parents,and pre-
ferred death to living without him, and on
Friday, the 9th, they mutually agreed that
the next Saturday evening they would meet
at his brother-in-laws, and on Sunday even
ing terminate their lives at one and the same
time by firearms. The same day he repair
ed to Marshall and purchased two pistols,
which he loaded, each with a ball and seven
buckshot.
At the time appointed for their meeting,
Saturday evening, he was at his brother-in
laws, and soon after the young lady, accom-
panied by her sister, drove up. Wood saw
his intended leap from the cutter and APP
proach the house, when he stepped into the
parlor, placed the muzzle Of the pistol to his
head and fired, dropping lifeless at her feet
as she came in. Without a moments delay
she stepped out of doors, passed round the
corner of the house, took pistol from her
pocket, and was raising it to her head when
her sister, who had perceived that something
was wrong, rushed forward and caught the
weapon from her grasp. On examining it,
it was found loaded with ball and shot, as
before stated. 1t seems that misapprehen-
sion existed between the lovers as to the
time when the tragedy was to take place
she understanding him to. name Sunday in
stead of Saturday evening; but when she
saw that ne had anticipated her, she was,
