MEMORY AND HOPE.

OFT at the hour when evening throws
Its CATERING shades DER hill and dale,
While half the scene in twilight CLOVIS
And halfin sunlight glories still;
The thought Of all that we have been,
And hoped, and feared, on lifes long way,
(Remembrances ofjoy or pain
Cume mingling with the close Of day.
But, soft Ger each revivins scene
The chast ming hues Of Memory sped;
And smiling each dark thought between
Hopes softens every tear we shed.
o, thus, when Deaths long night comes on,
And its dark shades around us lie
May parting beHms from Memory's sun
Blend softly in our evening sky!

The NUMBER OF LANGUAGEs-The least
learned are aware that there are many Ian.
guages in the world, but the actual number
is probably beyond the dreams of ordinary
people. The Geographer, Babi, enumer-
ated eight hundred and sixty, which are
entitled to be considered as distinct Ian
guages, and five thousand which NAV be
regarded as dialects. Adulguns, another
modern writer on this subject, reckons up
three thousand and sixty four Language
and dialects existing, and which have ex-
listed. Even after we have allowed either
of these as the number of languages, we
must acknowledge the existence of almost
infinite minor diversities; FOR almost every
province has tongue more or less pecul-
lar, and this We may well believe to be the
case throughout the world at large. 1t is
said there are little islands, lying close to-
gether lie the South Sea. the inhabitants of
which do not understand each other. OF
the eigh: hundred and sixty distinct lan>
guages enumerated by Babi, fifty three be.
long to Europe, one hundred and fourteen
to Africa, one hundred and twenty .hree to
Asia, four hundred and seventeen to Amer
lea, one hundred and seventeen to Oceanica,
by which term he distinguishes the vast
number of islands stretching between Hin
doCstan and South America.

The Force Of Habit.

There was boy in my class at school
(says Sir Walter Scott who stood at the
top. nor could ], with all my efforts, sup
plant him. Day came after day, and still
he kept his place, do what would, till at
length observed that when question was
asked, he always fumbled with his finger
at particular button in the lower part of
his waistcoat. 70 remove it, therefore, be.
came expedient in my eye, and in an evil
moment it was removed with a knife.-
Great was my anxiety to know the success
of my measure. and it succeeded too well.
When the boy was again questioned his fin
gers sought the button, but it was not to be
found. In his distress he looked down for
it; it was to be seen no more than to be
felt. He stood COMPOUNDED, and l took pos
session Of his place; nor did he ever recov-
er it, nor ever, l believe, suspect who was
the author of his wrong. Often in after
life has the sight of him smote me as l
passed by him, and often have l resolved
to make him some reparstion, but it ended
in good northumberland Life of

ABSENCE OF MIND What is commonly

considered incompatible with the presence
OF vigorous intellect. The late distiu-

stumbled against COW, which chanced to

HE FEELING OF THE SoLDIERs-The n.
Y. Express, of Saturday, III its lengthy ac-
count of the embarkatiOn of troops on the
steamer Atlantic, relates some incidents
almost as significant as the desertion of one

In conversation to day, Major Holmes as

The officers on the island affect to deny
that there is any discomfort among the

care to-day to keep outsiders from convers-

asked to day if he was willing to 90 South
and fight, significantly replied:
Would you kill your brother without a
cause? No, sir. We are soldiers, tits true,
and our business is to fight, and we will
fight, if we can fight Indians or Mexicans.
but the boys never will fight their own
countrymen."
The officers are not pleased with the
prospect of a collision with their fellow

TERRIBLE RoMANcE.-In the year 100,
young girl of very prepossessing appear
ance, from one of the interior provinces of
France, was placed at Paris in the service
of man depraved by all the vices of that
corrupt metropolis. Smitten with her
charms, he attempted her ruin, but was un-
successful. lnceDsed at his defeat, he de-
termined on revenge, and, in furtherance
of his design, secretly placed in her trunk
articles belonging to him, and marked with
his name. lie then denounced her to a
magistrate, who caused her to be arrested.
and the missing articles being found in her
possession, she was brought to trial. In
her defence she could only assert her igno.
rance of the mann er in which the property
came into her trunk, and protested her in
nOcence. She was found guilty, and the
sentence of death was pronounced upon her.
The hangman's Office was insufficiently per
formed, 1t being the first attempt of the ex.
ecutioner's son. The body was delivered
into the hands of a surgeon, by whom it
had been purchased He immediately
conveyed it home, and was proceeding to
dlssect It, when he perceived slight
warmth about the heart. By the prompt
use of proper remedies he restored the sus>
pended animation.
In the meantime he had sent for trust
worthy priest, and wher the unfortunate
girl opened her eyes she supposed herself
in another world, and addressing the priest
(who was man of marked and majestic
appearance exclaimed: Eternal Father

held her Maker, she continued to sue for
mercy, and it was some time before she re.
allied she-was still in the land of the liv-
ing. The surgeon and priest, being fully
of her innocence, she retired to
Il village far distant from the scene of her
late punishment. The community subse-
quently became acquainted with her story,
and the author of her misery became an
object of reproach and contempt, though it
does not appear that any ATTEMPT was made
to bring him to Justice

The BEAUTIFUL IN TREE.-Downing
says: =" Ii seems to US indisputable that no
one who has any perception of the beauti-
ful In nature, could ever doubt for a mo-
mert, that fine single elm or oak, such as
may find in the valley of the Connecticut
or the Genesee, which has never been
touched by the knife, is the most perfect
standard of sylvan grace, symmetry, dig
nifty, and finely balanced proportions, that
1t Is possible to conceive. Cns would no
more wish to touch it with o saw or ak,
unless to remove some branch that has
fallen into decay than to give nicer
curve to the rainbow, or add freshness to
the dew drop. If any Of cur readers will
give themselves mp to the study of such
trees as these-trees that have the most
completely developed forms that nature
stamps upon the species, they are certain
to arrive at the same conclusion"

What are trifes-who may guess
All the trifies meaningi
Scattered ears ON life's broad field
For a wise ones cleaning.
Nought but hath its work on earth,
Fraught with pain or pleasure,
Links in naiure's Ipnystie chain,
Though Of tini& measure.
But trifle seems a word
All nnkindly spoken,
Yet the life-trsp waileth low
For a gold string broken.
Buta tritie seems the smile
Or kind face bcaming,
Yet faint heart groweth strong
'Ntath its gentle cleaning.
Just look may waken thoughts
Full ofprOud recruitment
Just a look Will fill the soul
With a glad eontentment;
Little prayers Uf children fair,
By their mothers keeping.
Touch worn and weary heart,
With childlike feeling.
But flowers perfume may bear
Back through years Of sorrow,
To the sunny morn Of life,
Win bright t0-mofruW-
And tress Of sillren hair
On = young brow parted,
With f0unf Of bifterest tears,
For de broken-hearfed.
Twas single raindrop fell
On green bud thirsting,
Strengthened by the fairy draught,
Lo, flower is bursting;
And an acorn lightly flung
In pathway dreary,
Spread an oaks broad shadows out,
To refresh the weary.
Trickling from the mountain height,
Through the beech roots stealing,
See, a thread Of silver light,
Sunbeams are revealing.
Drop by drop il gathers fast,
Never resting, never,
Till IL swells and flashes forth,
In u glorious river.
Trifiesi each one hath part
In our pain or pleasure.
Making up the daily sum
OfOur life's brief measures;
All unnOted as they pass,
Scarcely worth our needing,
Yet, a trifie il may be,
Gods own work is speeding.
