FEMALE PIETY.

The gem of all others which enriches the
cor onet of a lady's character, is unaffected
piety. Nature may lavish much on her
person-,he entrenchment of her counte-
nance--the grace of her mein-or the
strength of her intellect, yet her lovliness
is unorowned till plety throws around the
whole, the sweetness and power OF her
charms. She then becomes unearthly in
desires and associations. The spell which
bound her affections to the things below is
broken and she mounts on the silent wings
of her fancy and hope, to the habitation O
God, where it is her delight TO hold COM
munication with the spirits that have been
ransomed from the thraldom Of earth and
wreathed with garland of glory.
Her beauty may throw magical charm
over many; princes and conquerors may
bow with admiration at the shrine Of her
love, the sons of science may embalm her
memory in the page of history-yet her
piety must be her ornament, her pearl.
Her name must be written in the "BOok Of
Lile," that when the mountains fade away
and every memento of earthly greatness is
lost in the general wreck Of nature, il may
remain and swell the list of that mighty
throng which have been clothed with the
mantle Of righteousness, and their voices
attuned to the melody OF heaven.
With such treasure ever lofty gratfi-
cation on earth may be purchased, friend
ships will be doubly sweet, pain and sorrow
shall i::aa i:s:a ;aeir siirs, and the character will
possess price far "above riches" life will
be but pleasant visit TO earth, and dealt
the enterence upon joyful and perpetua
home. And when the notes OF the las
trump shall be heard, and sleeping millions
awake to judgement, its POSSESSION shall b'
presented, "faultless before the throne o
God with exceeding joy, and crown
glory that shall never wear away"
Such is piety. Like tender flower
planted in the fertile soil of woman's heart
It grows expanding its foliage and impartin
its fragrance TO all around, Till it is set {
bloom in perpetual vgor and uniadin
beauty in the Paradise Of God.
Follow this star, it will light you throug
every labyrinth of life-gild the gloom tha
i will gather round you in a dying hour an
bring you safely over the tempeslous Jorda
/. of death into the haven Of promised an
settled rest.

The terrible calamity that has fallen up.

fifty families were thrown from happiness
and comfort into griet and adversely.
About four o'clock in the afternoon of Thurs

approached each other from the North and
South, and met at short distance West OF
the village OF Viroqua, Vernon county, Wis.

ing events with deep sOlicitude. When
those two forces came in contact they
whirled of at tangent and moved in an
easterly direction and passed through the
very heart Of the beautiful village, carry.
ing death, destruction and danger in their
progress. In a moment, about fifty build.
iDgs were demolished and scattered 10 the
winds, seventeen persons killed, and about
one hundred men, women and children in
jured. The hurricane continued eastward
in its course; and it is yet unknown where
= its havoc ceased.
