! Don't LIKE MY BUsINEss.-There is no
greater falacy in the world than that entertained
by many young men that some pursuit in life can
be found wholly suited to their lasts, whims, and
fancles. This philosophers stone can never be
discovered, and every one who makes his life a
search for it will be ruined. Much truth ia con.
tanned in the lrishman's remark " It's niver
aisy to work hard." Let, therefore, the fact be
always remembered by the young that no life.
work can be found entirely agreeable to man.
Success always lies at the top of hill if we
would reach it, we can do so only by hard, perse.
vering effort, while beset with difficulties of every
kind. Genius counts nothing in the battle of
life; determined obstinate perseverance in one
single channel is everything. Hence, should any
one of our young readers be debating in his mind
change of business, imagining he has a genius
for some other, let him at once dismiss the
thought as he would temptation to do evil. IF

pursuit of profession you did, don't make another

Singular Snow Shower.

A correspondent writing from Tamworth, N.
H., states that on the 18th of May, after rain had
been falling copousy during the early part of the
morning, suddenly, at about o'clock, without
any sensible change of temperature, the rain gave
place to one of the most singular and beautiful
showers of snow which it is possible to imagine.
1t commenced falling ia flakes, or congeres of
flakes, varying in size from that of dime to
dollar, and some even as large as the palm of the
hand. There being no movement Of the air. they
dropped directly, 10 slow aud easy motion, from
their laboratory in the clouds, alighting like
feathers or masses of elder down, upon the green
grass carpet with which the earth was overspread
until, within the spsce of thirty minutes or SO, the
whole face of nature was changed, pre- esentng over
valley. hill aud mountain, one unbroken aspect of

The trees being in incipient leaf retained their
portion of the feecy burden upon the extremity
OF every twig, showing close resemblance, in the
open fields, to apple trees in their most perfect
season Of bloom, and spreading over the denser

OF tne ordinary winter scene.
A very striking and beautiful feature of this
phenomenon (for such il may be caIled) was the

Anxious hearts that held their breath,
While you trod tie Fl cid of death.
Now your painful WORK is done,
Welcome, brothers welcome home

To our soldier brothers brave
Going to defend the right,
Stand If need be in the fight
Sure we were, yes, even then,
They would stand like patriot men.

Come unbidden thoughts-and sad;
Hearts are hled with anguished pain
Some ioW meier return again
Those for whom we erst did pray
Voices hushed in death for aye;
Heartfelt tears for tnem we shed,
And for those who mourn their dead.
Patriot soldiers rest in peace
Soon may this sad conflict cease
Honored sh all their memory be
Who have died for Liberty
Honored till the end of time,
As sacrifice sublime,
To noble, righteous cause
For our country and its laws.
From the sorrowing thoughts and tears,
Turn we living hearts to cheer
Soldiers coming from the fight;
Who have battled for the right
Gladly now we welc lme you--
Patriot brothers, brave and true.
Welcome to your green-clad hills,
As with JOY each bosom thrills
Welcome to the hearts you love,
While We praise the Lord above,
Who hath shielded you from death,
While we prayed, and held our breath,

To A BRIDE.-The following letter was written
by an old friend to young lady on the eve of her
wedding day
have sent you few flowers to adorn the dy-
ing moments of your single life. They are the
gentlest types of delicate and durable friend
ship. They spring up by our side when others
over our graves when those who should cherish
have forgotten US. 1t seems that past, SO calm
and pure as yours, should expire with kindred
sweetness about it that flowers and music, kind
riends and earnest words, should consecrate the
hour when a sentiment is passing into a sacra-
ment.
The three great stages of our being are the
birth, the bridal, and the burial. 10 the first we
bring only weakness for the last we have nothing
but dust But here at the altar, where life Joins
life, the pair come throbbing up to the holy man,
whispering the deep promises that arms each
others heart to help on in the life struggle of
care and duty. The beautiful will be there, bor-
rowing new beauties from the scene The CAV
and the frivolous, they and their tlounces will
look solemn for once. And youth will come to
gaze on all its sacred thoughts pant for ; and age
will totter up to hear the old words repeated
that to their own lives have given the charm.
Some will weep over it as If it were tomb, and
some laugh over it asf it were joke but ttco
must stand by it, for it is fate, not fun this ever
astlng locking of their lives
And now, can you, who have queened it over
so many bending forms, can you come down to
the frugal diet OF single heart ? Hitherto you
have been clock giving your time to all the
world Now you are watch, buried in one par
ucuar bosom, warming only his breast, marking
only his hours and ticking only to the beat of his
heart where time and feeling shall be in unison,
until these lower ties are lost in that higher we'd
lock where all hearts are united around the Gen.
tral Heart of all.
Hoping that calm and sunshine may haow
your clasped hands, sink silently into sigma
ture.
