The Troubles of Life.

1t is an old saying, aud true of most
people, that more than half of our trou-
bles are borrowed troubles. In contact
with the men of this world, any lindivii
ual will do well to make up his mind
that he will meet with many things that
will worry him ); fret aud uohafe his
mind, harrass and bother. Now there
are enough of those that are, real and
unavoidable, one would think, not to
imagine others. Experience enables
many forebodipg mind to say after
ward how foolish have been to Dor
row all this trouble, as lnow see it vas
all imaginary. Multitudes Of uneasy
minds think, if letter from the absent
does not arrive at just the expected mail
why he must certainly be sick If there
is little difficulty around, why every
thing is jeoparded if such another
thing happens, what can i do? ots
And this anxiety about what one
shall do turns out very often to be un.
der wholly imaginary circumstances
The real troubles Of life, those evils
which one must meet, it is worthy of
remark, are both less in number and in
magnitude, when actually encountered,
than when they look forward to them in
the distance. The case meitally may
be as it is PHYSICAL they are are not
clearly seen or we'll defined, and hence
assume colossal shapes Just as objects
seen in fog, seem very much larger
than when the fog clears off or you APP.
proach nearer, and their outlines be-
come distinct. And should one count
up his real Affections, he would find
them much less in number for the coun.
ting, just as it has been suggested; any
personally interested parishioner will
find the congregation of two or three
hundred on the sabbath dwndles down
to one hundred and fifty on an actual
count.
No, no! misanthropic man, or trouble,
borrowing woman, your lot is not the
hardest under the sun. little troubles
you have, and sober afiliction now aud
then will fall to your lot. But others
of your fellow travellers are in the
same category. They bear up well UNI
der it, and. Why should not you A
few troubles wen borne will make you
the better for it all and ifyou have had
cloudy day, or stormy season, you
will enjoy the better sunshine that is
soon to follow. 1t shows, moreover, a
noble mind and cold heart, to go on in
an even and composed spirit, when the
little petty troubles come around, like
flocks of bees, or even a .sober trial
crosses your path. .s-s' NM, -.
One point Of we'll doing is not to null.
tiply the troubles of life by morbid
imagining of real ones. Anotheris, to
put good face on, look cheerful, be
hopeful. and go straightforward in duty,
when they do come. Il
Take mattersas they come, and make
thy mission of life cheerful and sue.
cessful one! Give dark brooding, fore
boding cares to the wind. Borrow not
troubles; but when they do come bear
up under them manfully and christianity.

A THRILLING SKETCH.

"A correspondents oil the NJ I. fferdi0
gives the following thrilling account of
the fight on tho right at Gettysburg on
Thursday: p f'HA 9ai 9si.l1a ~ ~
AT one time the FIRE grew, SO hot that
our artillcrists We're compelled for mo
ment to lie down and just then a reb
ell brigade broke out of the woods be-
hind their batteryland dashed down to-
wards US on a run, yelling like demons.
General Warren, dispatched an aid to
General Meade for troops, and we anx.
iously awaited the coming of the enemy.
Swiftly they swep. down over the field;
but as they came in front Of their own
pieces, our srtillerists depressed their
guns and poured into the rebels tenn.
pest of case shot that checked them,
then broke their line and compelled
them to to fall flat. behind little ridge,
Hardly had we recovered from our
terpidatlon when the entire field behind
the rebel batteries seemed alive with
troops. Three long lines ofrebels, one
behind the other, came out at right an
giles with our own line, and silently but
swiftly moved down upon u.s. Our
condition was frightfully critical. Gen.
Meade could not be found. Gen. Sick
les was fighting desperately III front
with Hill, and could not spare man.
Longstreet was sweeping, down upon
us with his whole corps, and not a
brigade was up to check him. The FIRE
in front grew hotter , The Second
Corps went in, and all along the ridge
from Round Top to our right, the lines
swayed to and fro beneath the canopy of
smoke, which CLEANED in the setting
sun like a fiery furnace; and still thee
envy pressed nearer on our left, coming
down upon US with fearful rapidity. -
Will assistance never conner Down
under us On the little knoll our rifled
pieces were still playing; but if they do
not have help soon, they are lost. Gen.
Warren's aids are all gone for reinforce
ments; the bullets begin TO whistle
about Us, and the enemy reaches the
base of the mountain, just as we discov.
er the colors of tho Fifth Corps coming
through the woods behind us. How
our hearts leaped as we saw the stripes
and heard the rush of our men over the
leaves and rocks; and as we crouched
in the cleft we wondered which would
reach us first, the rebels or our men.
There is a rumble down below there,
and battery comes up at gallop,
bounding over the boulders, away up
upon the peak, and, almost before Que
can speak, shower of canister rains
tlownu the rebels fromthe other side.
The first Division of the Fifth reaches
the top, glides down among the lime
stone blocks, and the muskety grows
terrible The enemy is too strong
Slowly he presses up the hill, and his
right swings round the mountain to'our
view but the Second Division arrives,
then the Third, and the battle RACES

for a footl.old and then, with one grand
rush of desperation, strike for the crest,

too late, and their shattered regiments
