THE Two NoICEs.-When Guttem-
berg, the first printer, was working in
his cell, in the monastery Of St.
he tells Us that he heard
two voices address him. The one bade
him desist; told him the power his in
vention would put into the hands Of
bad men to propagate their wicked
ness told him how men would profaue
the art he had created, and how pos
teritv would have cause to curse the
man who gave it to the world. So
impressed was Gutenberg with what
he had heard, that he took a hammer
and broke to pieces the types he had
SO laboriously put together. His work
of destruction was only stayed by an
other voice, sweet and musical, that
fell upon his ear, telling him to go on
and to rejoice in his work; that all
good might be made the cause Of evil.
but that God would bless the right IN
the end. SO to all Of US come those
voices that came to Gutenberg the
one calling Us to work while 1t Is
called today = to try to leave this
world better than we found it and
the other tempting Us to give over
and take our ease-to leave the plow
in mid-furrow. and TO rest on our oars
when we should be pulling against the
stream

THE HEART. - The hearts youth
does not pass, as long as its purity and
innocence remain. We scar our own
hearts by the cherishing Of sentiments
we are directed to expel; we become
discontented, and call our discomfort
knowledge. We forget that all
knowledge which doth not increase
our happiness, is spurious and not to
be trusted.
How strong are the hearts first
struggles under sorrow; how it battles
with distress; and wars against des-
pair and disappointment; how vigor-
Gus its efforts to combat and overcome
but sorrow Is the strongest-aye, sor-
row Is the strongest-it Is drawn into
the heart by the first breath that we
inhale of this worlds air-a small
seed. but still it grows, and grows, and
twists, and twists, until it crushes the
poor heart and then-aye, then we die.
Human suffering IS but inadequately
depicted BY any coloring Of language
and grief finds It's best solace IN the
silent sanctuary of the heart.

Wondrous Autumn Time.

o, Ruler Of the waning year.
How calm while summer linger, here
Is thine enchanted sleep
When marmuring woods are full Of songs.
And al green leaves are whispering tongues,
And fields grow rich and deep.
Till wakened by the .hrilHng sound
OF the sharp scythe along the ground,
Through Natures towering heart,
Or shouts OF jocund harvest home,
That down the echoing valleys come,
From laughing hills apart.
How calm spleador ever lies
Within thy royal waking eyes.
Q, wo2drous Autumn time
Like the glory round good mans head
When angels light about his bed,
And wa2en thoughts sublime.
And who could dream yon soft, sweet Ugh.
We're herald Of the years dark night,
And north winds stormy breath
That all these tints of red and gold,
Burning throus h every starry fold,
Were signs OF Natures death
All, me- thy coming stirs the sense,
At every portal calling thence
The troops Of awe and fear,
We shink perforce OF days gone by,
And days that all as swiftly fly
Knowing thine errand here.
We cannot with the swallow fee,
And shun the gloomy days that be
SO fun Of winter snow;
We pass into our Orient land
Across dark seas, where some bright hand
Calls from the deems below
Thou art the gloomy spirit Of ALL
The wondrous years that rise and fall
Within the glass of Time.
Thou vert in fair creations bound
When first the chijd-like III swung round.
Exulting in hcI prime.
Born when the black pine crowned the hills,
And yiolets pierced the soil that fills
The elm trees rugged spurs;
When wore the thorn her snow-white crown,
And chestnut spires fell softly down
Among the golden surge.
Still thy dread pinions, as Of old,
The sylvan hills and vales enfold
Ger all the spreading land;
And ear'h's sweet face, once bright and mild
As thu fair forehead Of a chi d,
Is scared as with a brand.
And still mans couscions spirit feels,
While far and wide the east wind peaIs,
lis Gods almighty breath
lWhlIe as in prayer all heaven is bowed)
Ger hin and valley blowing loud,

two girls bound together as indisolubly

and necks. four arms and legs, but the
body is united together from the hips
to the shoulders. The heart Of one IS

freely into those of the other, yet each
can sing, talk and move independently
Of the rolition Of the other. The

as near perfection as the human CON

How many a poor fellow would be
saved from suicide, from the peniten-

be been blessed with such a wife.
{. She made home the pleasantest spot
to me on earth" What grand tri-

hung, - I didn't intend to XIII my wife,

THE Manchester Nirror tells the fol-
lowing amusing story Of the bare-iaccd
conduct Of the hog-stealers in the
town Of Manchester, New Hampshire.
Ia one instance the thieves woke up a
man in his own farm house, told him
one Of their hogs had got ont Of the
wagon into the road, aud asked his
assistance to put him pack. The
farmer got up, dressed himself, and
readily complied, and the next morn
ing when he went out to feed his hog
on looking into the pen found him nan
est. He had assisted the thieves to
steal his own Porker. At another
house the farmer heard a s1uealing in
the road late in the night, and going
to the door saw a man struggling with
a porker. The same story was re-
peated, and assistance given as at the
other house, and the same scene was
enacted at the pen in the morning.
