And thy lover TO greet, at the half opened gate.
But he who rode him, counts among those

THE BRIGHT SIDE.-.-LoOk on the bright side
1t lie the right side. The times may 90 hard,
but it will make them no easier by wearing
gloomy couDtenance. It is the sunshine and
not the clouds that makes the flower. There
is alw ays that before or around us which should
cheer and 6Il the heart with warmth. The
sky is bue ten times where it is black once.--,
You have troubles. it may be. SO have others
none are free from them. Perhaps it is well
that none should be. They give sinew and
tone to Iile-fortitude aud courage to man.
That would be duh sea, aud the sailor
would never get skill, where there was nothing
to disturb the surface Of the ocean. 1t is the
duty of every one to extract all the happiness
and enjoyment he can without and within him,
and above all he should look on the bright side
of things. What though thi ngs do lock a
little dark? The lane will turn, and the night
will end in broad day.

"CoMINo BACK."--W What world Of comfort
there is in these words, when they signify the
return of those we love. lie is coming back, /"
says the young wife of the self-exied patriot
soldier who has fought the goodnight valiantly
and received an honorable discharge. She kis-
ses the letter that brings her the happy It'd
ings; she weeps tears of joy over its kind and
tender words; she sleeps with it under her pill
low, and by virtue of The amulet. sees with
sealed eyes her heroe crowned with laurels,
speeding to her arms; and when awakened by
the rapture of the visioned meeting, whispers
to herse: "Well, well, he is coming back; it
will all be true Tomorrow" The coming back
of children from school, of friends from distant
lands, and OF husbands, fathers, b others, sis
tcrs, from business or of pleasure, to the exPec-
taut hearts at home--- all are delightful,

IMPoIITENEss IN CHURcH.-A gentleman
with rather sesdy over-eoat on, some time
ago attended funeral in the fashionable Grace
Church, New York City. He took pTomi-
nent seat, but the ceromoniOus sexton sent
him off TO free pew near the door. A pom
pous little Lieutenant, wearing an elegant new
uniform, was gracionsly shown to the eligible
seat. On the congregation rising at the sing
ing of hymn, the seedy coat was was par
italy removed, displaying the starred shoul-
der straps of a Major General. Urgent civil
tiles were pressed on the distinguished officer
prayer books, offers of q better seat, etc but
General Banks, quietly declined these aunkey
attentions, and concluded his devotiens in the
free pew near the door, having egregiOu-ly
mistaken Grace Church for a Christian insiitu

EARLY CARE OF FRUIT TREEs.-
The following sensible hints are
from a writer In the Boston Cultiva-
tor:
"The first eight years of the life
of a fruit tree are the most impor-
tant, and require judicious manage
ment. If a good compact head is
formed in this period, it will need
comparatively little pruning after
sequence in these years, and fruit
should be steadily sacrificed for the
future good of the tree. Apply the
knife above and the compost below,
and keep the heads as much in a
pyramidal shape as possible. In due
time you will have abundant fruit
and limbs strong enough to hold it.
PLANT A TREE.-When a span
lard eats peach or pear by the
roadside, wherever he is, he digs a
hole in the ground with his foot
and covers the seed. Consequently
all over Spain, by the roadside and
elsewhere, fruit in great abundance
tempts the taste, and is ever free.
Let this practice be initiated in our
country, and the weary wanderer
will be blessed and will bless the
hand that ministered to his comfort
and Joy. We are bound to leave the
world as good or better than we
found it, and he is a selfish churl who
basks under the shadow and eats the
fruit of trees which others have
planted, if he will not also plant trees
which shall yield fruit to coming
generations.

which leads them to destruction with their eyes
open. The ijler, the spend hrift, the epieure-
an and the druntard, are among its victinis.--
Perhaps in the latter its effects appear in the
most hideOus form. lie knows that the COB

will deaden all his laculles. take the strength
from his limbs and the happiness from his heart,
Oppress him with foul disease, and hurry his
progress to a dishonored grave, yet he draius
it under species of dreadful spell, like that
by which small creatures are said to approach

The race of mankind would perish, did they
cease to aid each other. From the time the
mother binds the child's head till the moment
that some kind assistant wipes the death damp
from The brow Of the dying, we cannot exist
without mutual help. All, therefore, that
need aid. have a right to ask it for their fel-
low mOrtals. No one who has the power o.
granting it can rifnse it without guilt.

A Hilton Head correspondent of the New
York Tribune asserts that 5000 colored sol
diers under white officers, are about to carry
the war into Africa, by invading the interior
of South Carolina, where the slave population
is already prepared TO extend them welcome
and swell their ranks.

"was settled by poor nobility, dccayed

Much of it has since, by their beautiful
domestic system, been improved, streng-
thened and made more vigorous by an in
fusion of blood from the more athletic

The writer, after laying on these strong
colors, fills his canvas thus:
