WE FADE AS A LEAF.

AS the trials Of life thicken, and
the dreams of other days fade one by
one in the dim vista of disappointed
hope, the heart grows weary Of the
stuggle, and we begin to realize our
insignificance. Those VINO have
climbed to the pinnacle Of fame, or
revel in luxury and wealth, go to the
grave at last with the poor mendi-
cant who begs pennies by the way
side, and like him, are soon forgotten.
Generation after generation, says an
eloquent modern writer, have felt as
ace feel, and their fellows were as
active in life as ours are now. They
passed away as avapOr, while nature
wore the same aspect OF beauty as
when her Creator commanded her
to be. And SO likewise shall it be
when we are gone. The heavens will
be as bright over our grave as they
are now around our path the world
will have the same attraction for
offspring yet unborn that she had
once for ourselves, and that she has
now for our children. Yet a little
while, and all this will have happen
ed Days will continue to move on,
and laughter and song will be heard
in the very chamber in which we
died; and the eye that mourned for
us will be dried and will glisten with
JOY; and even our children will cease
to think of us. aud will not remem-
Der to lisp our name.

CHARITY.

Love, benevolence, good will
these are the elements of charity.
A world of pain and misery needs a
hand OF love to stay the work of
disease, and want and death; and
the destiny of man i'll two worlds
depends in no small degree upon the
proper cultivation and timel Y exercise
of the angelic virtue. The dark
clouds of adversely recede before its
peaceful light, and new star shines
calmly on the weary pilgrims lone
pathway crime stands rebuked |;
virtue is strengthened; and the
brightest and pureSt angel, no less
than the lowest and poorest mortal,
receives thrill of joy and acknowl-
edges a new glory when made to feel
the hallOwed influence of hiring love.
Charity must not be limited, either
in its definition or exercise. 1t is
too noble TO be fettered. The proud
eagle loves the highest peak, where
his piercing eye can glance from
mountain to mountain, and from
valley to valley; but limit this noble
bird to the mean cage and his life
is yielded with his liberty. So of
charity; limit it to selfish purposes
and degrad d objects, diSrobe it of
the attribute of universaiity, and
reserve its agency for particular per-
sons and special occasions, and then,
like the broken-hearted eagle, 1t
droopS and dies, victim to its own
false glory.
Brotherly love has risen upon the
world like a cleaning star bursting
through a dark and StOrm-clad sky,
and its genial light should extend
from land to land, and from sea to
sea, until every cline receives its
life giving rays. Let no miserly
hand mete out its glories; give it the
wings of the morning, and send it
forth on worldwide errand of
mercy; let it visit the humblest
hamlet and step boldly into the
proudest palace let it approach the
beggar on the Threshold and the
millionaire in his luxury; let it re-
strain the vicious and encourage the
virtuous; direct the ignorant and
counsel the wise. These are the
attributes of charity; such charity
as may be acknowledged on earth,
and such as rill he rewarded IN
heaven

MEMORIES.

The heart has memories that can
never die; the rough usage of the
world cannot obliterate them. Feeble
age, trembling on the brink of the
grave, has them when everything
else has fed away and been forgot
ten. They are the memories OF
home, early home; the house where
we we've born, the yard with its
wreath of roses and Towering vines,
the lilac bushes where the robins
made their nests spring after spring,
paying their rent in song such as we
dream OF, but never hear afterward
the old elm and swing where the
children used to play all the while
the mother sat by the low front Win
dows, her face beaming out occasion
ally through the folds Of the dainty
muslin curtain: the same old house
with its pointed gables, quaint
cornices, and antique windows; the
freScOed ch mber where we used to
dream Of all til" great, glad world
mad in store for us.
Dear ola nome, with It's gay dreams
and sunny hours, and cloudIess skies,
and visions of bliss, and glorious
itt,I l:..o.-r,s csara al ornra
The traveller, climbing the ,nvun-
tains ofa land not his own, will, amid
all his toll and changes, revert ever
and anon to the time when a youth
Or IA schoOlboy he rOamed the fields
and the hills of his own native home.
The mariner, rocked by the storms
Of the sea, er resting ut some foreign
lort, will run through the long lapse
of wears back to the hour where, with
brother and sister, he frOlicked the
Joyous hours of youth away.
Meth change nor time, neither age
nor years. neitheU distance nor dis
ease, neither guilt nor passion, can
ever blot from the heart the memories
of the spring time of life. Those
memories of home will produce on
the verge of eternity the freshness
Of emotion, of life and desire with
which existence on earth began.

TALKING FINE.-Ludicrous blum.
deIs sometimes occur in cases where
ignorant persons attempt the use Of
anglage abolt the L relning of
which they know nothing.
Not long since, while travelling
from Pittsburg to Cincinnati, two
rather verdant specimens of the
female sex came on board the boat
at one of the landings, who, for the
sake of distinction, we will call Jane
and Mary.
Now, Mary had her eye teeth cut,
or, in other words, was acquainted
with the rules and regulations which
govern genteal saciety. Jane, the
Younger, had never mixed in society
to any extent. Her language was
such as she had heard among her
rustic associates. Mary was aware
of this fact. and therefore cautioned
her to observe how size Nary acted,
and govern herself accordingly.
Shortly after, while seated at the
dinner table, the waiter asked Mary
what part of the fowl she would
have? She informed him, in very
polite manner, that it was perfectly
immaterial." He accol dinghy gave
her piece, and then inquired of
Jane what part she VIC uld preferi
a believe l will take a piece of
the immaterial tOop
The scene that followed this decla-
ration is beyond the pen to describe.
The ass mb'ed company were obliged
to give ii spontaneous vent to theli|
surcharged feelings in peals of bois
ferrous laughter; whilst the poor girl
her face suffused with crimson
bushes, left the table, declaring, as
she fed from the cabin: "They|

A GRAVE WITHOUT A MONUMENT

The sea is the largest ofcemeteries,
and all its slumberers sleep withou:
a monument. All other grave yards,
in all lands, show some symbols OF
distinction between the great and
the small, the rich and the poor, but
III that great ocean cemetery the
king and the clown, the prince and
the peasant, are alike undistinguish-
ed. The same wave rolls over all,
the same requiem by the minstelsy
of the ocean is sung to their honor.
Over their re Mains the same storms
beat, and the same sun shines and
{ lele, unmarked, the weak and the
powerful, the plumed and the un-
honored, will sleep on, until, awakeI
ed by the same trump, the sea will
give up its dead. No marble rises
to point out where their ashes are
gathered. Yet that cemetery hath
ornaments of which no other can
boast. On no other are the hea av1nly
orbs le lected in such splendCr. Over
no other is heard such noble melody.
One fine summer morning, when
Franklin was busy preparing his
newspaper for the press, a loungfr
stepped into the store and spent an
hour or more in looking over the
books, etc, and finally, taking one
in his hand, asked the shop boy its
price.
"One dollar" was the answer.
"One dollarw said the lounger,
can't you take less than that Z"
"No indeed -one dollar is the
price"
Another hour had nearly passed,
when the lounger said:
"1s Mr. Franklin at home -
" Yes, he is in the printing Office"
II want to see him. said the
lOunger.
The shop boy then Immediately
Franklin that a gentleman
was waiting to see him. Franklin
was soon behind the counter, when
the lOunger, with book in hand, ad-
dressed him thus:
"Mr Franklin, what is the lowest
oO Cdh ldhC IOl lIIIS bOOh
Zone dollar and a quarter was
-he quick answer.
"One dollar and a quarter Why,
your young man asked NE only one
iollar."
True" said Franklin, "aud I
could have better afforded to take
4 dollar then than to have been taken
out of the Office"
The lounger seem surprised, and
to end the parley of his own
said:
"Come Mr.. Franklin, tell me what
IS the lowest You will take for il %
OIIC UUIIoi ANA "a uo4tL'
"One dollar and half! Why You
offered it yourself for a dollar and a
luarter.'
Yes" answered Franklin, "and
had better have taken that price
han dollar and a half now
The lounger paid down the money
md went about his businesS--if he
lad any-and Franklin returned into
,he printing Office.
