Give way a Little.

In the crowded streets OF great city,
where multitudes are passing 10 opposite
directions, while some are passing obliquely,
and others at right angles, il is necessary for
every one to give way little TO those he
meets; by which means they will have q
free passage. Were the whole multitude TO
pass directly onward, without any one g
yielding an inch Of ground TO any body else,
all would be obstructed more or less, and
confusion ensue.
Or if churlish individual should take It
into his head to march forward in straight
line, and 10 no case make way for man,
woman. or child, or even for . procession,
lac would be sure to jostle some one or other,
at almost every step, and would receive an
insult, perhaps hard blows for his obstinacJ
and impudence. n...s ..a.
And very much is it 70 in the journey
through life, aud with respect to our genera
intercourse with mankind. In the march o.
life no ones path is so char as not in somt
degree to cross anethsv's and if each Il
determined, with unyielding sturdiness, &C
keep his own line, it il impossible but he
must give and receive many a rude shock
In society, in neighborhoods, and Ger
among close friends, there will spriag rival
ries, ard be sometimes close line OF opinion
and if all were naturally obstinate, there
could be no bounds or ends to contention
Whereas, by the bounds Of natural conde
scension, social harmony is preserved, ant

Pretty Women.

A pretty woman is one Of the institutions
Of every country. She makes sunshine,
blue sky, and happiness wherever she goes;
Her path is delicious roses, perfume, and
beauty she is a sweet poem, written in rare
curls, and choice taste, and good principles.
Men stand up before her as so many admira
ton points, and melt into cream and then
butter. Her words float around the ear like
music, birds, of.paradise songs, or chimes o
sabbath bells. Without her, society wouc
lose its truest attractions, and young mer
tho very best of comforts and company. =
Her influence and generosity restrain thu
vicious. strengthen the weak, raise the
lowly, flannel shirt the needy aud strengthen
the faint hearted. And wherever, you tinc
\ tn virtuous woman you will find fresid'
boquets, clean clothes, order, iight, GOO
living, gentle hearts, music, and model In
[stitutiona generally. She is the flower o
humanity, a Venus 10 dimity, and her IN
spiration il the breath of heaven. 'lpnia

AWFUL AND SOLEMN DEATH.-The
Scotch papers report an accident, which,
though it involved only one life, contains
more OF tie true elements OF horror, strikes
more sharply on the fine cords of human
terror, than many great and meaningless
catastrophe. Thomas Loeb, dock laborer,
was working on a ship just beached near
Wigton, when she heeled over, and the
bulwark fell on his chest The tide was fast
coming up, and it was evident that in an
hour the wretched man would be drowned
unless the weight could be removed from
his chest. All the place turned out to help,
but the weight was immovable, and the tide
Flowed on remorseessly. A clergyman
stepped forward into the water, and prayed
with the unhappy victim. A napkin was,
at his own request, placed over his face
that he might not see the tide, and SO,
apparently without complaint, he lay till
the waters closed owe, his head, while the
townsmen, gathered around in helplessness,
sobbed aloud.
