THE STORM OF LIFE.-Life bears on like
the stream of mighty river. Our boat at
first gldes swiftly down the narrow channel.
through the playful murmurings of the little
brook, and winding along its grassy borders,
the trees shed their blossoms over our Young
hands; we are in hope, and we grasp eagerly
at the beauties around us, but the stream hur-
ries us on, and still our hands are empty.
Our course in youth and manhood is along a
wider and deeper food, and amid objects more
striking and magnificent. We are animated
by the moving picture of enjoyment and indus
try that is passing before us we are excited
by short-lived success, or depressed and ren-
dered miserable by some short-lived disapoint-
ment: But our energy and dependence are
both in vain. The stream bears us on. and our
joys and grieis are left behind us. We may be
shipwrecked, but we cannot anchor; our voy-
age may be fastened, but we cannot be delay
ed; whether rough or smooth the river hast
ems towards its home; the roaringof the waves
is beneath our keel, and the land lessons from
our eyes; the floods are lifted up around us.
and we take our last leave OF earth and its in
habitants, aud of our future voyage, there is
no witness but the infinite and the eternal.-

An Actors Advertising ssDodge..,

a Berlin letter in one of the London papers
tells this curious story:
Il cannot conclude the present letter with
out mentioning little incident that occurred
here in the course of the present week. and in
which an ingeninus rogue has verify out-Bar-
numed Barnuai. a member of the company of
players at Kallenbach's theatre was to have a
benefit night: and the question was how to
get together good audience, as the usual at
tendance at that place of amusement, even if
doubled, would produce far too slender a sum
to satisfy the expectations of benefit night.
Accordingly some days before the memorable
evening. there appeared in all the Berlin pa
pers an advertisement to the following effect:
"A gentleman, who has niece and ward possess
ing dsposable property of fifteen thousand Ihaeis,
together with mercantile establishment, desires TO
hHd young man who would be able to manage the
business and become the husband of the young lady.
The possession of property or other qualifications is
no object. Apply TO -
Hundreds and hundreds of letters poured in
in reply to this advertisement. On the morn
ing of the benefit day each person who had
sent reply received the following note "The
most important point is, of course that you
should like one another. ! and my niece are
going to Kallenbach's theatre this evening.
and you can just pop in upon us in Box No,
L. OF course the theatre was crammed. All
the boxes, all the best playing places in the
house were filled early in the evening with a
mostly male public, got up in style which is
seldom seen at the royal opera ITSELF Glasses
were levelled on all sides in the direction of
box No. |, and eyes were strained to catch the
first glimpse of the niece, when she should ap-
