FIDELITY.-Desert not your
friend in danger and distress.
Too many there are in this
world whose attachment to
those they call friends is con-
fined to the day of their pros
perity. AS long as that con-
tinues, they are, or appear to
be, affectionate and cordial
But as their friend is under a
crowd, they begin to withdraw
and separate their interests
from his. In friendship of this
sort, the heart assuredly has
never had much concern. For
the great test of true friendship
is, constancy in the hour of
danger-adherence in the sea-
son of distress. When your
friend is illuminated, then is
the time openly and boldly to
espouse his cause. When his
situation is changed, or misfor-
tunes are fast gathering around
him, then is the time Ofafford-
ing prompt and Jealous aid
When sickness or infrmity oc-
casions him to be neglected by
others, that is opportunity
which every real friend viii
seize of redoubling all the at
tention which love suggests
These are the important duties,
the sacred claims of friendship,
which religion and virtue en-
force on every worthy mind.
To show yourselves warm in
this manner in the cause of
your friend, commands esteem
even in those who have person
al interests in opposing him.
This honorable zeal of friend
ship has, in every age, attract
ed the veneration of mankind.
1t has consecrated to the latest
posterity the names of those
who have given up their for
tunes and exposed their lives
in behalf of their friends whom
they loved.

Marriage.

The following are the opinions of
three prominent ladies on the subject
Of marriage:
Marriage is to women a state of
slavery-it takes from her her own
property, and makes her submissive in
all things to her husband. ."-[ Lucy
Stone.
Marriage is state of slavery?-
Ave, but the bonds are silken and easi-
ly worn. Marriage is the sanctifier of Of
love-an institution which acknowl-
edges the ri ght of woman to be protect
ed. and the duty of man to protect her.
The Offices Of wife and mother are not
those of slaves. What higher desti-
nies beneath the skies than to instruct
the infant mind in thoughts of purity
What holier mission than to soothe tie
turbid torrent of mans passions by a
word "a look-a smile 1t is to wo-
man that this work is given. Woman
in her vocation, may cheer the tired
spirit, may lend hope to the despond-
ing. may whisper love to the lonely
while man may toll and traffic, and fuss,
and fret, and grow savage. Who
would exchange with him l''-[Ella
Wentworth.

Beautiful Figure.

{ Two painters were employed
to fresco the walls Of a magnifi-
cent cathedral; both stood upon
a rude scafold, constructed for
the purpose, some 80 feet from
the floor. ,ag1s.JfEs
One of them was so intent
upon his work that he became
wholly absorbed, and in admi-
ration stood off gazing >at it
with delight. Forgetting where
he was, he moved backwards
slowly, surveying critically the
work of his pencil, until he
neared the very edge of the
plank upon which he stood.
At this critical moment his
companion turned suddenly,
almost frozen with horror, be-
held his imminent peril; anoth-
er instant and the enthusiast
would be precipitated upon the
pavement beneath. If he
spoke to him it would be GER
tain death, ifhe held his breath
death was equally sure. "zl'a
Suddenly he regained his
presence of mind, and seizing
a wet brush he flung it against
the wall, spattering the beauti-
full picture with unsightly
blotches of coloring. The
painter flew forward and turned
upon his friend with fierce i'm
precautions, but startled at his
CHASTITY face, he listened to the
recital of danger, he looked
suddenly over the dread space
below, and with tears of graft
tude blessed the hand that
saved him. ii '..l.
We sometimes get absorbed
in looking upon the pictures of
this world, and contemplating
them, step backward, uncon-
scious of our peril, when the
Almighty dashes out the beau
tiful images, and we spring
forward to lament their de-
struction into the outstretched
arm of mercy and are saved. i

Nothing less than spirit of meekness
or self-renunciation, and of benevo-
lence, can make woman who has once
been first, happy in subordinate and
second-best position. And this, under
ordinary circumstances, is the highest
place of a single woman. Depend
upon it. my dear young friends, it is
safer for the most of Us to secure all
the helps to our virtue that attend a
favorable position; besides, married
life is the destiny that Heaven has
allotted US, and therefore best fitted to
awaken all our powers, to exercise all
our virtues, and call forth all our SYM
pathies. l would persuade you that
you may be the cause of happiness to
others, and, of course, happy yourself
for when was the fountain dry when
the stream continued to flow! If a
single life according to the worst view
of it, is moral desert, the faithful in
their passage through it are refreshed
with bread from heaven and water from
the rock."-[ Miss Sedgwick.
Cur THIS OUT.-The Mercantile
Times gives the following seasonable
rules for young men commencing bu-
siness
The world estimate men by their
success in life-and, by general con-
sent, success is evidence of superiori-
ty..
Mover, under any circumstances, as
sumo responsibility you can avoid
consistently with your duty to your
selves and others. .IsE..a
Base all your actions upon princi-
pal of right; preserve your integrity
of character, and in doing this, never
recon the cost.
Remember that self-interest is more
likely to warp your Judgment than all
other circumstances combined; there
fore look we'll to your duty, when your
interest is concerned.
Never make money at the expense of
your reputation.
Be neither lavishing nor niggardly.
Of the two, avoid the latter. A mean
man is universally despised, but pub
lie favor is stepping stone to prefer
ment-therefore generous feelings
should be cultivated.
Say but little-think much-and do
more. .as#
Let your expenses be such as to leave
a balance in your pocket. Ready
money is friend in need.
Keep clear of the law, for even if
you gain you are generally loser of
money.
Avoid borrowing and lending.
Wine drinking and cigar smoking
are bad habits, They impair the mind
and pocket, and lead to a waste of
time.

u The Masonic Review very
beautifully as well as truthful.
ly remarks that the prospesity
of a Lodge consists, not in the
receipt of a large number of
initiates, nor in the large
amount of work they may have
to do, nor upou a full treasury,
but by ignoring all these things
as elements of success, and cu1-
tivating a good feeling within
the Lodge. Let each Brother
know and learn to cherish his
Brother, and with heart to
heart proceed together in the
great work of practically exem-
plifying the beautiful teachings
of our institution. Recogniz-
ing the great combined virtues
of Temperance, Fortitnde,
Prudence and Justice, built up
on solid foundations of Truth
and Virtue, and spreading the
coment of Brotherly love and
affection, they may set the key
stone of Charity and universal
Benevolence, and inscribe up
: = = y -
on the dome of the Temple,
"Holiness to the Lord" Then
shall the Lodge, Chapter, Coun-
Gil, and Commandery be pros
porous indeed; its seats well
filled with an attentive and in
terested membership, and all
will realize show good and
how pleasant it is for Brethren
to dwell together iu unity"

HEINITSH's CELEBRATED

For all Diseases 10 which a Horse is Liable.

NNHE various diseases to which that no
Il BILE and useful animal, the horse, is
subject, and the littlo knowledge that il
known of them by farriers and ignorant
ostlcrs, have 0ccasioncd many remedies to
be offered TO the public under different
forms, with high pncomiun1s, and sane
toned by dignihed names. Somo of these
are injurious; others, at best, of little usc,
and many entirely worthless, and do not
meet tho want. A good medicine, free
from objections OF this kind, has long been
desired by many gentlemen who have va
iuablo horses. Wo therefore offer the only
good medicine-tho truo SO Err NJ A n
HORSE POWDER" which has proved 30
pared from the original recipe of DR.. Hell
nitsh, of Germany. It's extraordinary yir-
tues arc attested to by thousands, and for
fifty years has stood, and still stands, first
in the estimation of all experienced farm
ers and agriculturists as the best medicine
for the horse. 1t is recommended for
horses foundered by eating TO excess or
drinking cold water when heated, to such
as have symptoms of glanders or are ex-
posed to the infection by being with other
horses, for indigestion, distemper, hide
bound, drowsiness, loss of appetite, inward
sprains, debility, wasting Of flesh, sore
eyes, swelled legs, grease, mango, surfeit,
old coughs, for exhaustion from work. 1t
carries off all foul humors, purifies and
cools tho blood, and prevents horses be-
coming stiff and foundercd. 1t is stimu-
lu5 Tor weak stomachs, and renders the
limbs and skin soft and fine, giving a
