The WjRter Of tie Heart-A beautiful
writer counsels wisely when be says: Live
so that good angels may protect from this
terrible evil-the winter Of the heart. Let
no chilling influences freeze up the fountains
OF sympathy and happiness In its depths; no
cold burden settled over its witherd hopes
Ike tho snow on faded flowers; no rude
blasts Of discomfort moan and shrek through
It's deSOlated chambers our lile-path NAV
lead through trials, which for time seemed
utterly to impede your progress and shut
out the very light Of heaven from your anx-
iAus gaze Penury may take the place OF
ease and plenty your luxurious roem may
be changed Tor an humble one; the soft
couch FOR a straw pallet: the rich viands for
the coarse food Of the poor. Summer friends
may fOrsake you, and the Implying weird
pass with scarcely look or word Of COM
passion You may be forced to toll YEARLY,
steadily on 20 earn u likelihood; you may
encounter fraud AMI the base avarjce that
would eytort the distributing till you well
nigh turn in disgust from your fellow beings.
Death may sever the dear ties that bind
you to earth, and leave you in fearful dark
ness. That noble, manly boy the sole hope
Oh your declining years, may be taken from
you while your spirit clings to him with
wild tenacity, which even the shadow of
the tomb cannot wholly subdue Amid all
these sorrows, do not come to the conclusion
| that nobody was ever so deeply afflicted as
you are, and abandon every anticipation Of
better days in the unknown future. Do
not loose your faith in human excellence,
because confidence has sometimes been be-
trayed, nor believe that friendship was only
delusion, and love bright phantom which
glldes away from your grasp Do not think
that you are lated to be miserable, because
you are disappointed in your expectations,
and bafiled in your persuits Do not declare
that God has fOrsaken you when your way
Is hedsed about with thorns, or repine sim
fully when be calls your dear ones to the
land beyond the grave. Keep holy trust
in heaven through every trial; bear adversely
with fortitude and look upwards in hours of
temptation and suffering When your locks
are white, your eyes are dim, and your limbs
weary, when your steps faIter on the verge
of deaths gloomy vale, still retain the fresh
ness and bOuyancy Of spirit which will shield
you from the winter Of the heart.
Pungent-Prentice is not the only member
Of the Louisville press that pens pungent
paragraphs. We find the following in late
numbers of the Louisville Democrat:

The way to have regular order in Missouri

The St Louis Democrat thinks the South
can't be loyal because Gen Joseph Wheeler
