PULPIT ZEAL.-NO man was
ever scOlded out of sins. The
heart, corrupt as it is, and be-
cause it is so, grows angry fit
be not treated with some mag
nanimity and good manners
and scoIds back again. A sur
ly mastiff will bear perhaps to
be stroked, through he will
growl even under the operation,
but if you touch him roughly
he will bite. There is no grace
that the spirit of self can coun-
terfeit with more success than
a religious zeal. A man thinks
he is fighting for Christ, and
he is fighting for his own no.
tions. He thinks he is skillful-
Iy searching the hearts Of
others, when he is only gratify-
ing the malignity of his own,
and charitably supposes his
hearers destitute of all grace
that he may shine the more in
his own eyes by comparison.
When he has performed his
noble task, he wonders that
they are not converted: he has
given it to them soundly, and
if they do not tremble and con-
fess that God is in him of a
truth, he gives them up rep
robates, incorrigible and lost
forever. But a man that loves
me, if he sees me in an error
will pity me, and endeayor
calmly to convince me of it, and
persuade me to forsake it. If
he has great and good news to
tell me, he will not do it angri-
| ", and in much heat and dis
composure of spirit. tits not,
therefore, easy to conceive on
what grounds a minister can
| Justify a conduct which proves
that he does not understand
his errand. The absurdity Of it
would certainly strike him, il
he were not himself deluded.-

ONIoNs.-"Onions," says DR..
Hall, "are one of the most nu-
tritious, healthful and detesta-
BILE articles of food found in our
markets. We never ate one to
our knowledge, and never ex-
pect to; we can smell them a
mile off, perhaps. A few grains
of coffee, eaten Immediately
afterwards, or a teaspoonful of
vinegar swallowed, removes at
once the Odor of breath. If
onions are half boiled, and the
water thrown away, and then
put into soup to be boiled
DONE the odor will be but
little noticed"

WHO ARE HAPPY Lord
Byron said: "The mechanics
and workingmen who can
maintain their families are, in
my opinion, the happiest body
of men. Poverty is wretched-
ness, but even poverty is per-
haps, to be preferred to the
heartless, unmeaning dissipa-
ton of high order" Another
author says: 81 have no pro-
pensity to envy any one, least
OF all the rich and great ; but if
| were disposed to this weak
ness, the subject Of my envy
would be a healthy young man,
in full possession ofhis strength
and faculties, going forth in
the morning to work for his
wife and children, or bringing
them home his wages at night"

Soliloquy.
EVENING IN SPRING.

EVENING IN SPRING.
Swcetly, as the hymning of angels,
Murmurs the wild west breeze,
Ger the blossoming flowers at twilight
And through the budding trees,
Like a smile on the lip of childhood,
Is the light of the radiant West,
As it rests on the distant hilltop,
AS bright as the land of the blest.
The gold and the parple of sunset,
Form palaces fair in the West,
OF clouds; as bright as Elysian
Fabled land where the beautiful rest
Now the bright bars of purple and crimson,
Are fading as fades a sweet dream;
And far, far away in the distance,
Bright stars through the amber clouds
gleam.
All nature is bright and rejoicing,
The howerets are kissed by the breeze,
The vine, with its verdant young tendrils,
Lovingly clasps the rough limbs of the
trees.
MethinEs, that Fairies this evening
Softly tap on the bells of the flowers
A call for their loves in the distance,
Who are scattering the dew-drops in
showers.
o, Spring full of roses, and fragrance,
How wild and delightful thy reign;
Thou spreadest all our valleys with blossoms
We're carried to youth once again.
Rejoice ye young men, and fair maidens,
Mid gardens, in rose scented bowers,
Where Cupid is huttering his pinions,
Brushing dew from the tinid heart flowers
Blow bright, balmy breeze of the Spring
time;
Bring us sunshine, and dew and sweet
flowers;
Blow from the islands of spice and perfume
Blow us humming birds into our bowers,
Blow roses from afar to the invalid's cheek
Blow smiles to the eyes where tear drops
still linger,
Blow strength to the limbs of those who are
weak,
Bring wreath OF fair blossoms, to beauty!

THE ADVANTAGE OF A Coon

ter is to ayoung man what a
firm foundation is to the artist.
who proposes to erect a build
ing on it; he can build it with
safety and all who behold it
will have confidence in it's So
lidity, helping hand will nev-
er be wanted-but let a single
part of this be defective, and
you go on at hazad, amid
doubling and distrust, and ten
to one it will tumble down at
last and mingle all that was
built on it in ruin. Without a
character, poverty is a curse,
with it, scarcely an evil. Hap
pineSs cannot exist where char
acter is not; where it is not a
frequent visitor. All that is
bright in The hope of youth, all
that is calm and blissful in the
sober scenes of life, all that is
soothing in the vale of years,
centres in and is derived from
good character. Therefore
acquire this as the first and
most valuable good.

Slander.

The meaning of the word
censure, defamation, i'll name
reprOach, falsehood-abusive,
calumnious. It's influence is
destruction, robbery, butchery,
meanness and serpentine. Sian
der is the book which chroni-
cles the deeds of hell, directed
under the supervision of Satan
ic Majesty which is always on
the espionage in the country
and town to stain the fair
escutcheon ofsome honest fam
ily-some gentleman or lady.
The tongue of SANDER, given
upon the braZero altar of per-
sonal abuse, has long since
tried to immediate the purest
virtue that ever existed this
side of Heaven. The language
of bitter reproach and burning
invective was exhausted upon
Him who spake as man never
more spake." 1t is painful to
descant upon the bad qualities
of nature, for they are full of
proud flesh and the humblest
reproOf will be sure to arouse
sensation and convulsion. The
tongue, in its operations should
always be guided with prudence
and moderation, or else it will
become a curse instead of a
blessing; a milldam with its
gates always hoisted, can hold
but little water, and a man Or
woman who leaks too feely at
the mouth cannot have much
in them but gas. The continual
click-clack of the tongue is the
only music some people can
dance after, especially those
scandal distributors who love
meddlesome garrulty about
their neighbors. Beyond all
doubt it was the Devil who
sowed the first seed of slander
the author of this soul-con-
taminating vice-and he has
been careful to appoint his I'M
principled agents to carry on
his base and heartless traffic in
his own appointed way and for
his especial benefit. Every pa
per, package, and parcel is la
beled in the Devils own hand
writing, signed, "Belzebub
Cloyenfoot, No. l, Salamander
street, Internal Regions"
He or she who goes about re-
failing slanderis like the Devil,
with the mark Of the beast in
their forehead. Such an indi-
yidual'S mouth is the resting
place for the low billingsgate
of perditiOn-a vulgarian, q
wholesale abuser of public and
:, private character. The man
who would Wantonly rise up
and Intentionally SANDER an
innocent person is not too good
oforge a note upon his brother;
he is not too good to tell a pal
pable lie; he is qualified for
"treason, strategem andspoils;"
he is the unclean spirit spoken
of in the revelations of St.
John; the scarlet coIored beast
of Rome. He is the ulser
wound, the purifying core, the
ten horned beast and the red
dragon of the Bible. The SLAM
dereris imbued with the malice;
hatred and ambition of the
Devil. He is a low, scurrllous,
dirty, insinuating blackguard
; "a perfect burglar, migrate,
mountebank, calumniator, an
offensive smell to all gentle
men and ladies, he is full OF
groveling passions and envel-
oped in clouds Of moral dark
ness and innumerable delin-
quencieS. He is
