MORAL CHARACTER.-There is nothing
which adds so much to the beauty and
power OF a man. = man, a good char
acter. 1t dignifies him in every station
honors him in ali society, exlits him in
every period in life. Such a character is
more to be desired than anything elsa on
earth. No servile tool, no crouching syco-
phi ant, no treacnerous honor seeker, over
bore such character; the pure joys Of
righteousness never spring in such person
1t young men but knew how much a good
character would dignity and exa!t them,
how glorious it would make their prospects
even in this life; never should we fnd then
yielding to the groveling and base-born
purposes Of human nature

lis time for Memory. The year. with
ftful breathings and family tbrobbing pulses,
lies ready to be NUN bered with the things
which will be no more. We gaze-upon its
dying form with plying eyes, and with
hearts fall of tho lights that crowd for utter
ance.
We think of the many scenes, grave and
sad, joyous and gay, which have been en-
acted since the old clock in yonder steeple
toled the kuell of eighteen hundred and
sixty-two. ~
How many fond hopes have grown to
blessed fruition, how many joyous anticipa-
lions have been dashed to earth. cloudiDg
life's morn with anguish and sorrow!
From many happy circle has the Death
Angel snatch ed one much loved and whose
face shall be seen no more till years shall
end.
Perhaps the eldest born, one in whom
your love and pride were conferred, has been
called away. You rememb Der the dear one,
start, and your heart beats with deep emo
ton. A tiny prattler has been taken from
loving arms, and oh! what yearnings GO
after the little one. Memory, with faithful
hand, paints these recolections upon your
mind, and you wish for the New Year, that
perchance happier days are in its folds.
IT'S time for tears. From where the
hills bear up their weight of everlasting
snow. to the land of the cypress and the
orange, stricken households weep and mourn
o earth, hast thou not drunk enough Of
brothers' blood? Upon thy plains the GRIM
son tide of life has oft been poured. and on
thy bosom as many proud form been laid,
to mingle with thy IMPLYING clods.
The angel Of Peace hovers no longer DER
this once proud land, but with heavy, sad
dened heart. has winged her flight to more
congenial scenes. Return, blest spirit, and
make our land thine ever Tasting dwelling
place. Then will our hearts thrill with the
pulses of Joy, and our eyes know tears no
