PER1IANENcE OF MATTER. R.-What can
surpass in grandeur those bold yet simple
inductions Of the invariable permanence of
matter and of force. No natural agency, no
created being can alter the amount of mat
ter in the universe to the extent of an atom,
or change the sum of force to the extent of
the feeblest impulse They can add moth
ing to it; they can take nothing from it.
They may burn, pulverize, scatter to the
winds, strew upon the sea, convert into in
visible vapor, but they cannot annihilate a
particle or destroy one of its essential pro-
perties Every atom of oxygen that the
world contained at its formation, is in itnow,

UsE OF POETRY II once heard man
say, Shakespeare was certainly a great
writer but what is the use OF his writings?
Would he not have done more good to his
fellow creatures by putting one loafo bread
into their hands? President Thompson fur
nishes a good reply to the gentleman 'Po.
etry warns the heart, aud fills the head
With useful and agreeable maxims and beau
tiful Images, sublimes the affections, and
thereby enlarges our enjoyment and worth.
Moral excellence, in a great measure,
depends on exquisite sentiments a person
may have both lively sensibility and an
improved taste, and yet be a bad character,
from giving himself up to the dominion OF
his passions; nevertheless, without this en-
Hvenea temper Of soul, no man ever became

SOON WE'LL REST.
By BELL CLINTON.

By BELL CLINTON.
A little time-and we shall rest
From all the ills Of life;
A little time-and then viii cease
Its joys, its cares, its strife.
Each hearts wild throbbing viii be still,
Its restless longings cease;
Who'll weep that we are sleeping thus,
Meath the green sod in peace?
OH should there be ono loving heart
Thus kindly beat for me-
Refreshing with a silent tear
The flowers of memory
I'll bend me from my home Of light,
If such TO me is given,
And be that spirits guiding star,
To bring it up to Heaven.

BRIEF.

Infancy a blushing spring,
Yiolet-strewn and blossoming;
Aprips sunshine, Aprifs rain,
April ne'er to come agaiu.
Boyhood sun kiss'd summer hours,
Fragrant ntlyith thousand flowers,
Smiling meath a fearless sky,
Chasing life's bright butterfly,
Manhood in autumnal suit,
Rich in russet golden fruit,
God-stamped, noble, tender, trne,
Harvest Of til preceding two.
Age a silsery winter scene,
Blessing joy-dreams that have been,
White with hoar-frost, angel given,
Last aad nearest step to heaven

LAUGHING. How amusing to listen to
the countless varieties in vogue.-No two
persons laugh alike. Every person has one
of his own. Laughing is not a science
Yon can no more teach loud coarse laugh
to become clear, sweet one, than You can
change a tough beefsteak to luxuriant oys
ter filter Laughing is blessing. 1t is
the sweet oil that smoothes the rough ma
chinery of life lis true sign of happi-
ness Misery may laugh but its attempts
sit ironically upon the countenance. We
ike a clear, ringing, jolly, whole soul laugh.
Some peoplesare always laughing; the fur
rows of care don t disfgure them. Others
indulge IN it so little. that they become old
before their time, Y on cant laugh accor-
ding to rule. The peculiar laugh that is
born in yoa must be the kind to come out
on every occasion; but it is not hard to learn
to make deceptive, forced or disagreeable
laugh -You have seen a large assembly
where something very amusing compelled
everybody, as the saying runs, to burst
right out You have noticed the lean, fat
sereeching and roaring laugh, the still, small
silyery, upside down laugh; the gruf base,
the clear soprano, and the high tenor laugh
the up and down the whole scale laugh; the
terrible laugh; the half famished bull dog
laugh; the short, swapping, cracked laugh:
the fenaish blood clrdliHg laugh; the
straight up and down laugh; the funny,
CHEEKY and free and easy laugh the quick
and be done with it laugh; the wholesome,
earnest laugh; the careless laugh and the
laugh Of care; the rectangular triangular,
octagonal and double action laugh; the
laugh in your sleeve, and the laugh.
