Forget and Forgive.

FORGET and forgive for no heart can divine
How soon sorrows CLEAN may darken joys shine
The clouds that float DER the bright blue of thesky
Nav change into rain ere the evening be nigh
And chequered by shadows of gladness and pain
Is the pathway we tread to the end we would gain.
Forge. and forgive All I. how many heart
Would gladly recall those sad words, we mustpart
So hastily spoken. Did they then think
How their hopes and their happiness stood on the
brink
OF distractions stern precipice soon to fall DER,
And return to their desolate owner moref
Forget and forgive lest in sadness and sorrow,
Ye weep for the past and despair of the morrow;
Remorse follows anger and browns it in tears;
Davs pass into months and months fade into yea
Still lower and lower burns Hopes ftful light,
Till e1tinguished, at last, in obliyion's night
FORGET and forgive as ye would be forgiven.
Ere the last words are said the last link be riven,
Lest through the wide world apart ye may roam,
Yourife without purpose, your heart without home;
For the heart must be homeless, and amess the life
That wastes its young strength in such desperate
strife.
Be the FrRsr TO forgive let not pride intervene
It's cold, selfish barrier, and dictate between
Yourself sndshe happiness still within grasp,
That Time in its course will withdraw from your
clasp,
And leave but the memory. cherished in pain,
Of los. opportunity offered in vain.

"Newspapers--Good and Bad"

From late lecture upon newspapers, deiiv-
cred by Rev. De Wit: Talmangc, at Philadel-
phia. we make the following interesting ex-
tracts:
The newspaper is the great educator OF the
ninteenth century. There is force compared
with II. 1t is book, pulpit, platform, FORUM
all in one. And there is not an interest, reli-
gious, literary, commercial, scientific, agricul-
tural, or mechanical that is not within its
grasp. All our churches, and schools. aud COL
leges. and asylums, ana art galleries feel the
quaking of the printing press.
The institution Of newspapers arose in Italy.
In Venice the first newspaper was published !;
and monthly during the time that Venice was
warning against Soliman the Second, in Dali
malta. 1t was printed for the purpose Of Civ
ing military and commercial information to the
Venetians.
The first newspaper published in England
was in 1888, and called the English Msrcury.
Others were styled the Hsekiy Discorerer, the
Secret Orl, Heraclitus Riddns, ETC., etc. Who
can estimate the political, scientific, CONNER
cial, and religious revolutions reused up in
England for many years past, by Bets Weekly
Dispatch, the Standard, the M5rning Ohroni-
Gle, the Post, and that Prince OF Liars" the
London Tmes9
The first attempt at this institution in France
was in 1851, by physician who published the
Ners, for the amusement and health Of his pa
.ients. The French nation understood fully
how to appreciate this power. Napoleon with
his own hand wrote articles for it, and so early
as 1929 there were in Paris l69 journals. But
in the United States the newspaper has come
10 unlimited sway. Though in l775 there
were but thirty-seven in the whole country, the
number of published journals is now counted
by thousands.
Next to the Bible the newspaper-swift-
winged and everywhere present. Flying over
the fence, showed under the door, tossed into
the counting-house, laid on the work bench,
hawked through the cars All read it i White
and black, German, Irishman, Swiss, Spaniard
American old and young, good and bad, sick
and well, before breakfast and after tea. Mon
day nsrning, Saturday night, Sunday and
week day
now declare that consider thenewspaper
to be the grand agency by which the Gospel is
preached, ignorance cast out, oppression de-
throned, crime extirpated. the world raised
Heaven rejoiced, and God glorifed. In the
cla, king of the printing press, as sheets fly out
Ihear the voice Of the Lord Almighty proclaim
| ing to all the dead nations OF The earth. "Laza
rus, come forth p and to the retreaiing surge
of darkness, "Lct there be light"

Ghost Story.

That apparitions do not always wander
without sufficient cause, is proved 10y the well
attested fact which we give below. Last
Tuesday fortnight, rs Mrs.--, lady Of
rather literary taste and studious habit, sat
reading in the drawing room, the clock on the
niantcl piece struck trelrei As the last stroke
reverberatcd through the apartments, the door
was flung wide open! In the act Of raising
her head to repei the intrusion tunruns fosl OF
her late husband, she screamed and fell sense
less on ,hecarpet This broughtu psach mem
bcrs Of the family as had not retired to rest;
restorativcs we're administered and when Mrs.
had regained her suspended faculties, and
being woman of strong and highly cuItl-
waited intellect, she felt disposed to consider
the whole distress She had undergone as the re-
suit Of certain associations between the melan-
choly tale she had been perusing and her late
loss, operating on partially nervous system.
She, however, considered Il advisable, that
maid servant should repose in her chamber,
lest any return of which she considered neE-
gous affection should distress herself and alarm
the family.
Last Tuesday night, feeling in better spirits
than she had been for several months past,
Mrs.-dispensed with the presence Of her
attendant, retiring alone to her chamber, went
to bed little before ten o'clock. Exactly as
the clock struck trelre she was awakened from
her sleep, and distinctly beheld the apparition
she had before seen, advancing from the table,
on which stood her night lamp, till it stood
opposite TO and drew aside the curtains Of her
bed. She described her very blood retreatins
with icy chillness to her heart from every vein.
The countenance of her beloved in life wore
not its benevolent aspect, the eyes once beam
ing with cfiectiou, were now fixed with stern
regard on the trembling, half-dissolved being,
who, with the courage of desperation, thus ad-
iured him Charles dear Charles why are
