A Fine Old Poem.

[EIhare learned says the melancholy Pesto.
ozzi, that in this scide ,rorid no one heart is
.ble or rilling to help another.
o say not we through life must struggle,
Must toll and mourn alone;
That no one human heart can answer
The beatings Of our own,
The stars look down from the silent heaven
Into the quiet stream,
And see themselves from its dewy depths
In frcsher beauty CLEAN.
The sky with its pale or glowing hucs,
Ever pain.eth the wave below;
And the sea sends up its mists to form
Bright clouds and the heavenly bow
Thus doth each of the other borrow
A beauty not its own;
And tell us that nothing in Nature
Is for itself alone.
Alone, amid life's griefs and perils,
The stoutest soul may quail;
Left to its own unailed efforts,
The strongest arm may fail;
And tho all strength still comes from HEAVIER
All light from God above.
Yet we may sometimes be his angels,
The apostles Of his love,
Then let us learn to hel p each other,
Hoping unto tie end:
Who sees in every man brother,
Shall find in him friend.

BulWer on Marriage.

From an interesting lecture recently
delivered by Sir f.. L. Bulwer, the nov
elist, we extract the following passage:
The law which binds one man to the
one woman is so indelibly written by
nature, that wherever it is violated in
general system, the human race is found
to deterioriate' in mind and form. The
enobling influence cease the wife is a
companion-a hundred wives are but a
hundred slaves. Nor is that all: unless
man look to q woman as treasure to be
woed and won-her ST. lie the charm of
his existencc-her single heart the angel
of his desircs-that which deserves the
name of love cannot exist, is struck out
Of the healthful system of society
Now, ift there be a passion in the human
breast which most tends to light us out
of epotism aud self. which most teaches
US to live IN another-which puriies and
warns the whole moral being-it is love,
as We of the north hold it and cherish
it. For even when the fair spring Of
youth has passed. and when the active
life is employed in such grave pursuits
that the love Of his early years seems to
him like q dream of romance, still that
love having once lifted him out of ego
tism into sympathy does but pass into
new forms and development-it has
locked his heart to charity and beuevo-
lonce-it gives smile to his home, it
rises up in the eyes of his children
from his hearth it circulates inscnsibly
on the laws that protect the hearths to
the native land that spreads around it.
Thus in the uniform history Of the world
we discover that wherever love is crra-
ted, as it were. and sanctioned by that
equality between the sexes which the
permanent and holy union of one heart
with another proclaims, there; too. pat
riotism, liberty--the manly and the gen
tie virtues--also find the place; and
whenever, on the contrary. pply2amy is
practiced, and love disappears in the
gross safety of the senses, tthere we find
neither respect nor humanity, nor rev.
ereDcc for home, nor affection for the
natal soil. And one reason why Greece
so contrasted in all that diguifes our ma
ture, the effeminate and dissolute char
acter Of tho east which it overthrow, is,
that Greece was the earliest civilized
country in which. on the borders of those
great monarchies, marriage was the sa-
cred tie between one man and one wo-
man; and man was the thoughtful father
of a home, not the wanton lord of Sc
raglio.

Pleasant TO Tobacco CheWerS

A letter from Petersburg, Virginia, to

is put liquorice, rum and tonca bean.---

'On the second story, tho leaf is di-
vested of its stem by numerous black
women and children. 1t is then in n
supple state made into rolls an inch or
two inches in diameter, and Of any re-
quired length.
'On the ground floor, the rolls arc
squeezed into plugs, and carefully pack
ed for transportation to the tobacco
loving people of the North. Some may
think part of this description highly
colored, but it is literally a true account
of what saw more than once; and il
what heard be true, the drugs and filth
are hardly halfportrayed
1T might be supposed that people here
do not chew, but this is not so; almost
everybody does, but then they chew the
clear leaf. And it is worthy of remark
that the hands engaged in these facto-
ries make no account of throwing their
spittle and t 'eir cuds into the heap for

The Count and the Child.

A rich count in Silesia, having frequent
" visited Berlin, Frankfort and Paris,
had imbibed bitter hatred against
Christianity.
One day the Count, walking over his
grounds, heard the sweet voice of a child
in his garden. He approached, and saw
little girl who was singing, seated on
tho grass, her eyes moistencd with tears

And even if this were true, what
benefit is it to you? If he could help
you, he would give money TO your mo-
ther, that she might buy you better

Il do not wish for money; but the
Lord Jesus will take me one day to
himself in heaven.
1T is your grandma or some such
person who makes you believe this
NO. no; it is true, aud it makes me

FALL OF THE SPIRE OF CHICHESTER CATH
EDRAL.-English journals contain accounts Of
the fall OF the venerable spire Of Chichester
Cathedral, on the 2lst of February last, af.
tor furious gale that swept over the coun-
try on the proceeding night. The Cathedral
at Chichester is not very grand one, yet it
is interesting from its antiquity. 1t was be-
gun eight hundred years ago. The tower
was built in 1900, and the spirc was placed
in the centre Of the building; rising to the
height Of two hundred and seventy-four feet.
1t was the third in its altitude ia the king
dom, and was completed about the year 400.
The tower, for some time, had shown evidcn-
ces Of weakness, and on the 18th of Fcbru-
ary, after the services, workmen took posses
sion of it, and began repairs On the night
of the goth of February the storm shook the
tower very much, but the workmen seventy
in number. worked till three o'clock in the
morning, when they left. At daylight they
renewed their labors, but at quarter past one
o'clock in the afternoon they we're ordered
to stop. The tower and spire fell fifteen
minutes afterwards. The spiro fell gently
into the centre of the building. The appear
nnce of it was that of a large ship quietly
but rapidly foundcrlng at sea. Six thous-
and tons of ruins were in the church, tweg-
ty feet of the nave and as much of tho tran
sept and choir being carried in. The peo-
pie of Chichester are most inconsolablo over
thoir architectural loss.
