BENJAMIN Franklin tells us, in one Of his let
ters, that when he a boy. little book fell
into his hands, entitled Essays to do Good"
by Cotton Mather.
IL was tattcred and torn. and several leaves
were missing. ''But the remainder" he SAYS,
"gavc me such turn OF thinking as TO have an
influence on my conduct through life; for have
always set a greater value on the character Of n
docr of good, than any other kind Of reputation;
and if | have been a aseful citizen. the public
owes all the advantages Of II TO the little
book"
Jeremy Beniham mentions that the current Of
his thoughts and studies directed for life by
single phrase that caught his eve at the end Of a
panpblet:-"The greatest good Of the greatest
number"
There arc single sentences in the New Testa-
mcnt that have awakened 10 spiritual life
hundreds of millions of dormant souls. In things
Of less moment reading has wondrous power.
George Law, boy on his fathers farm, met
an old unknown book, which told the story Of 4
farmers son who went away to seek his fortune
and came home, afrer many years absence, :

uneasy, left home, lived over again the life h'

Guard Thine Action.

When you meet with ore suspected
OF some secret deed of shame,
And for this by all rejected
AS thing of evil fame;
Guard thine every look and action
Speak no words of heartlcss blame,
For the slanderer's vile dctraction
May yet soil thy goodly name.
When you meet brow that's awing,
With its wrinklcd lines Of gloom,
And naughty step that's drawing
To a solitary tomb;
Guard thine action, some great sorrow
Makes the man a spectre grim,
And the sunset of tomorrow
May have left thee joined to him.
Whcn you meet with one pursuing
Ways the lost have entered In,
Working out his own undoing,
With his recklessness and sin;
Think, VI placed In his condition,
Would kind word be IN yainl
Or look Of cold suspicion
Win thee back to truth AGAIN.
There are spots that bear no flowers,
Not because the soil IL bad,
But tho summers genial showers
Never make their bosoms glad.
Better have an act that's kindly.
Treated sometimes with disdain.
Than by judging others blindly,
Doom the innocent 10 pain.

Men Of Labor.

Men Of Labor! no. the battle
Gals to action, calls to arms;
Shall your toll be free or fettered,
In your work shops, on your farmsl

Irowel, hammer, spade, and hod-
Shall they bear the curse of bondage,
Or the freedom born Of Godl
LO. tits yours TO give the answer;
Yours 10 say ii Slavery right
Wider, o'er this fair Republic,
Shall extend its awful blight
Blight to speech, and soil, aud labor,
Blight to all that lifts and saves
Freemen-sovereigns in their freedom
From the grade and fate of slaves!
Shall the taskman's human chattel
Here, or over Western plains
Marching, "like dumb driven cattle,
To the music of his chains
Further curse the land your fathers
Won for freedom with their blood
Further, thrice accursed slavery.
Sweep and whelm YOU with its foodl
Men oflabor, shall your labor
BE degraded eyerywhere1
Further shall the taskman's chattel
Three-hlths of.your franchise sharel
Further shall this cloud of bondage
Yonder 20, or hither comet
On Free Soil. or In Free Senates.
Further strike your Free Speech dumbl
Men Of Labor, If for Freedom
Io, the hour has come at length.
When your hearths, and soil, and affairs,
To the battle call your strength;
Yours the deepest stake and peril,
Yours to say ii gyye or chain
Further shall degrade your manhood,
Further Freedoms altars stain.

a Beautiful Reflection.

Bulwer eloquensiy says:
81 cannot believe, that earth 10 mans abiding
place. Ii can't be that our life cast UP BY the
ocean of eternity is TO float momen, upon its
waves and sink into nothingness. Else Why is it
that the glorious aspirations. which peep like an
gels from the temple Of our heart, are forever
wandering about unsatished1 Why is IL that the
rainbow aud clouds come over us with n beauty
that is not of earth, and then pass of and lcavs
us to muse upon their faded lovcliness7 Why 10
IL that the stars who hold their festival around
the midnight throne, arc forever mocking us with
their unapproacnablc glory7 And finally, Why 10
1t that bright forms of human beauty are pre-
sentsd to our view. and then taken from us.
leaving the thousand Streams OF our affections
to flow back in Alpine torrents upon our heartsf
We are born for n higher destiny than that Of
earth: there Is realm where the rainbow never
fades, whore the stars will be spread before us.
like islShds that slumbsr on the ocean; and
where the beings tha, pass before us like shadows.
