SITTING lonely, ever lonely,
Waiting, waiting for one only,
Thus Icount the weary moments passing by z
And the weary evening gloom
Gathers slowly in the room,
And the chill November darkness dims the sky,
Now the countless busy feet
Cross each other in the street.
AndI watch the aces fitting past the door,
But the step that fingers nightly,
And the hand that raped SO lightly,
And the face that beamed so brightly,
Come no more.
BY the fireIights fitful cleaning, 0
am dreaming, ever dreaming,
And the rain is slowly falling all around,
And voices that are nearest,
of friends the best and dearest
Appear to have strange and distant sound. /
Now the weary wind is signing,
Andthe murky day is dying
And the withered leaves lie scattered round my
door;
But that voice whose gentle greeting
Set this heart so wildly beating, .-.,E
At eacn fond assd frequent meeting.
Comes no more.

THE PRINTING OFFIcE.-A well conducted
printing Office is the best of schools. &c
with me TO the Executive and Legislative de
partments of the Government, and l will
point you, in each of them, to the most com
petent and useful public officers who started
in life as printers devils.
Cross the ocean and we will find such men
as Guizot, De Toqueville, Lamartine OF
France, Lord Palmerston, D'Israeli and Ma
cauley of England, have all distinguished
themselves as journalists. ~
Let young men especially look to those
high examples, and rest with nothing short
Of position in the front rank of sOciety.--
This can be attained only by the most in
domitable industry, perseverance and study,
and by a strict regard to truth, honesty and
virtue. Never for moment think it disrep-
utable to labor Honest toll however hum
bic, never yet disgraced any man; but too
many, we are sorry to say, suffer disgrace
rather than labor for livelihood.

wish Il had "A Capital.

So heard great strapping young man
exclaim the other day. did want to tell
him piece Of my mind so bad. But III
Just write to him. You want capital, do
you And suppose You had what you call
capital, what would you do with it You
want capital Hav'nt you got hands and feet,
and body and muscle, and bone, and brains
and don't you call them capital what more
capital did God give any body Oh but they
are not money, say you. But they are more
than money. you will use them they will
make money, and nobody can take them
from you. Don't you know how to use them!
If you don't it is time you were learning
Take hold of the first pillow, or hoe, or jack
plane, or broad-iNc and go to work. Your
capital will soon yield you rich Interest,"
Aye, but there's the rub; you don't want to
work, you want money credit that you
may play the gentleman and speculate, and
end by playing the vagabond or you want
a plantation and negroes, that you may hire
an overseer to attend to them, while you run
about over the country and dissipate, and get
in debt; or want to marry some rich girl
who may be foolish enough to take you for
your fine clothes and good looks, that she
may support you. ..-...
Shame upon you, young man Go to work
with the capital you have, and you'll soon
make interest enough upon it, to give yoa
as much money as you want, and make you
feel like man. Ifyou can't make money
upon what capital you have, you couldn't
make it if you had million of dollars in mon
ey. If you don't know how to use bone, and
muscle, and brains, you would not know how
TO use gold. lfyou let the capital you have
lie idle and waste, and rust out, it would be
the same thing with you you had gold;
you would only know how to waste.
Then don't stand about like great help
less child, waiting for somebody to come in
and feed you, but go to work. Take the first
work You can find, no matter what it is, so
that you be sure to do it like Biley Grey did
his drumming-well. Yes, whatever you UNI
dertake to do, do it well; always do your
best. Ifyou manage the capital you already
have, you will soon have plenty more to man
age; but if you can't or won't manage the
capital God has given you, you will never
have any other to manage. Do you hear,
young man.

Thoughfs for Ministers.

Do not rest without success in your mln-
istry. Success is the rule, under living
ministry; want of it is the exception.
We must have the taste of mamma in our
mouth, "milk and honey" under our tongue
else we can not tell of its sweetness.
Prayer is more powerful than preaching
1t is prayer that gives preaching all its power
If Satan can only make you a eovetous
minister, lover of pleasure, lover of praise,
a lover of good eating, then he has ruined
your ministry.
Preach the word, the most essential p'rts
of it, especially. | would most humbly sug
gest for the consideration of all ministers,
whether they should not preach more in the
manner of Gods word. 1t is certain the
fathers used to preach in this manner.
Brethren, they will not thank us in eterni-
ty for speaking smooth things, and crying,
"peace, peace" when there is no peace. No,
they may praise us now, but they will curse
our flattery in eternity.
Speak boldly; what matters in eternity
the slight awkwardness of time.
%McCheney's biographer says of him, " lie
fed on the word, not in order to prepare him.
self for his people, but for personal edifcation.
To do so was fundamental rule with him"
1t was his wish to arrive nearer at the
primitive mode of expounding the scriptures
in his sermons. lie said +" Il am just an in
terpretcr of scripture in my sermons"
"Not the word he spake, but the holy
manner in which he spake, was the chief
means of aresting souls"

Purity of Character.

OVER the beauty ofthe plum and the april
cot there grows bloom and beauty more
exquisite than the fruit itself-a soft, delicate
flush that overspreads its blushing face
Now if you strike your hand over that, and
it is once gone, it is gone forever; for it new
er grows but once The flower that hangs in
the morning inpearled with dew-arrayed as
no queenly woman was ever arrayed in Jew
cls-once shake it so that the heads roll of,
and you may sprinkle water over il as you
please, yet it can never. be made again what
it was when the dew fell silently upon it from
heaven. On frosty morning you may see
the panes Of glass covered with landscapes
mountains, lakes and trees, blending in a
beautiful, fantastic picture. Now lay your
hand upon the glass, and by the scratch of
your finger, or by the warmth of your palm
all the delicate traces will be obIiterated.
So there is in youth beauty and purity
Of character, which, when once touched and
defled, can never be restored--a fringe more
delicate than frost work, ard whi;h, when
torn and broken, win never be re-embroidered
A man who has spotted and seiled his gar
ments in youth. though he may seek to make
them white again, can never wholly do it,
even were lac to wash them with bis tears
When Young man leaves his fathers
house, with the blessings of his mothers
tears, still wet upon his forehead, if he once
loses that purity Of character, it is loss
that he can never makeHxh again. Such
is the consequences Of crime. Its effects can
not be eradieated, it can only be toryirer,

of the Creators Hove they not their appointed
Offices to perform in the economy OF the UNIVERSE
And has the insect any more ability to resist the
power of instinct than good seed in good
ground has to resist the force of termination
On studying the works Of nature, therefore dis-
card the idea that they are the result OF chance
or accident. In the mind Of the truth-loving
notwithstanding student the coming OF the
gall-fy in due season, to minister to the ig tree
of Smyrna and make it bear fruit for hungry
thousands is no more the work of chance, than
it was by chance that the ravens carried bread
and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh IN
the evening to the prophet at the brook" s

A Coop Mans WIsH.-I freely confess to you
that would rather when am laid in the grave

to me and privately warned me of the danger
of the young, no one knew it, but he aided me in
the time of need. owe what am to him." Oh
Iwould rather have some widow with chokingut
terance, telling her children" There is your
friend and mine. He visited me in my affection,
and found you. my son, an employer, and you,
my daughter, happy home in virtuous fam.
ily" Isay that IwOuld rather that such persons
should stand at my grave, than to have erected
over it the most beautiful sculptured monument

utterance of reflections of past kindness, and the
tears of grateful memory shed upon the grave,
are more valuable, in my estimation thanthe most
costly cenotaph ever reared DR.. Sharp.
