Cory O'Lanus ON Boys.

Some things may be said in favor
of boys; some trades would hardly
live without them:
The glass-pnt-in-men wouldn' I
have much to do, and putty would
decline if there were no boys to
break windows.
There would be no customers for
the cast-iron peaches, and green ap-
pies which come in early in the sea.
son, but for boys, and the doctors
wouldn't have so much to do curing
cases of cholera morbus arising
therefrom. =. ...' -
Boys can be useful when they
have mind to, and can sell news.
papers, black boots, hold horses and
do chores.
In printing Offices, the boys are
known as dcvils-printers have a
plain way Of speaking.
Boys individually are better than
boys collectively. =
If there was only one boy in the
world, l think ho would be a good
boy; it generally takes at least two
boys to get up any mischief.
Have one boy in a store, and you
can have him useful.
Hire second hoy and their time
will be chiefly devoted to chasing
one another over the counter, and
firing the dust brush and directory
at each others heads.
A boy begins to be a nuisance
when he is eight years old. How
soon he grows out Of it depends on
circumstances. -... .a-o.
Some never do. #an
It is aquestion whether boys lead
an enjoyable existence. They take
q great deal of fun at other folks
expense, but they have most always
got grievances.
They would like to have their
own way little more, and a pretty
way it would be.
Give boy his choice of an occu-
patton in life, and the chances are
that he would prefer either to be a
Robinson Crusoc, on a desert island
or captain Of a band of robbers, such
as he has read about, and seriously
thinks of going into one or the other
Of these desirable occupations when
he gets to be. a man.
He has great respect for stage
driver and the captain OF canal
boat-there is an air of command in
these positions.that takes his ideas.
His ideas Of being a man is, hav-
ing plenty of money, doing what
you please, and being able to smoke
or chew tobacco without getting
sick over it.
Somebody wrote song, I would
I were boy again. Those who
had the bringing of him up are not
likely to have echoed the sentiment.
Raising boy once is as much as
anybody wants to undergo, and for
tunately when they once grow up,
they stay growed up and have boys
of their own to aff1ict them.

GRAr1rudE FOR DIVINE MER-
c1Es.-Every daily mercy is GER
tainly worth breath Of gratitude.
It is the very least that . man can
do in appreciation Of the divine
goodness. It costs nothing. It is
easily doae. And once done, in tho
proper manner, it engages Heaven
to be still more lavish Of its ner-
cies. Daily blessings are either
weights, or wings to us,-owned,
and practically acknowledged they
raise us to the very threshold Vt
Heaven, but uaacknowledged and
unimproved they do but sink u
to pcrdition. Value them, less on
ly than you value His goodness
who bestows them, as was said Of
Socrates. she priced tho kings
countcnancc more than his coin.

Gods Plan in Geography.

Physical geography now claims
that the particular arrangement of
seas, continents, mountains, and
rivers which the earth has received,
| is the very best that could be given
for the purpose to which the earth
is designed. As the divine wisdom
is manifested in the order and ad-
aptation Of the parts Of tho humaa
body, of animals, and Of plants, 50
there is an object in the peculiar
shape the continents have been
made to assume. Every thing
works in harmony with divine
plan, which we claim to be begin
ming to comprehend. ,.s.
Change the position Of Asia and
Europe, and you would have ruin
and death. Ireland, now always
green, would have the climate Of
Labrador. Compare the British
Isles, Norway, and Sweden with
the corresponding latitudcs upon
our own coasts. and we see dread
full consequences. Take away the
Andes, which arrest the rain clouds,
and South America, that most
wonderfully watcred continent,
would be desert. Take away the
Rocky Mountains, or change their
direction to cast and west, and wo
have our own fertile country ruined.
Elevate our Southern coast, so as
to change the direction Of the Mis-
sissippi, and what mischief would
ensne .-----~-----.4 -------4
There is literally a face to nature
as there is face to man. As we
have our circulation Of the blood, so
there is the circulation of the earth's
great heart OF fire, the circulation
Of the waters. and the ventilation
Of the air. We have yet to consid-
cr these varied shapes Of nature in
their relation to each other and to
man and animal life. But we are
not to stop here. The physical g.
ographcr claims that the influences
bearing upon the intellect of man
can be explained by the peculiar
arrangement Of the earth's surface.
We know that civilization has
marched from east to west, frem
Asia to Europe, and even across
the Atlantic to the New World
growing and expanding in its course.
We can see what has been develop
ed in Asia and Europe, and may
predict something for America.

Children at Play.

One lovely morn in summer time,
Beneath an elm trees shade,
Linked hand in hand, a joyous band 5.
Ofhappy children played.
I stood and watched them as they romped
In noisy, childish mirth.
Alas! l said, how soon are fled
The brightest days of earth!
1t seems to me but yesterday
Twas myself child,
And played like ye, in happy glee,
AS joyous and as wild. .-,....
Your merry laugh and ringing shouts
Bring back to memory .-t .--
That season fair when grief and care
We're yet unknown TO me. '
Where are they now, my boyhood's friends,
Whose hands were clasped in mine,
Who rompel and played beneath its shade
With joy as great as thine
Play on, young hearts, in gladness shout,
Be happy while you may. .
When childhood's o'er, you'll find no more
Such joys ye know to-day ...,.-
