REMEMBER.

Whenever you hear man who rises
to speak in public assembly say that he
is called upon altogether unexpectedly,
that he is entirely unprepared, but that
having been urged to make some remarks;
he will address few words, few words
only, to the vast or respectable assem-
blage present, expressive IN the 5riefest
possible manner of his views of the sub
ject before the meeting-when you hear
man deliver an exordium to this effect,
take up your hat and depart as quickly
as possible, or make up your mind to be
bored by a regular set speech, which will
last from one hour to three, according to
the strength of the lungs Of the orator
thus called upon! When man rises to
speak, if he has anything to say, he ought
to say it, without preface or excuse If
he really has nothing to say, common
honesty requires him to sit down.

ETERNITY. Time and the things
thereof obtrude themselves so much upon
our thoughts, that the realities of another
life are too often forgotten. Yet the
truths SO beautifully described below are
manifest to observant eyes as the light Of
day: #f p 9aa-aa n
The flowers fade, the heart withers,
man grows old and dies; the world lies
down in sepulcher Of ages; but time writes
no wrinkles on eternityi Stupendous
thought The ever-present, unborn, un-
decaying and undying, the endless chain
comprising the life Of God-the golden
thread entwining the destinies Of the
universe. Earth has its beauties, but
time shrouds them for the grave; its
honors are but gilded sepulchurs; its
pleasures they are but as bursting bubbles.
Not so in the untried bourne. In the
dwelling Of the Almighty can come no
footsteps of decay. It's way will know
no darkening eternal splendor forbids
the approach Of night.

REMARKABLE SToRY.-A Prussian
journal relates singular circumstance.
In an Israelite community there exists a
Rabbi, esteemed and loved by all. To
prove their gratitude for services rendered
the community decided upon the sugges-
tion OF rich merchant to offer the Rabbi
a tun Of wine, and in order that all might
contribute to it, it was agreed that each
should bring a bottle of wine and pour
into the receptacle. The Rabbi received
with gratitude the Offering, and deposited
the precious liquor in his cellar. But o
grief! when he wished to taste, miracle
had operated; instead Of wine he found
ony water His honest friends had all
Individually thought that bottle of
wster would pass unperceived in the
quantity Of wine. Unhappily each had
the same idea.

Lovely June, we sing thy praises,
Fairest month Of all the year:
Rich in verdure, song and perfume,
Radiant new, thou dost appear;
And the earth, rejoicing, greets thee
JUNE, the bridal of the yearl
Now, with lavish hand, thou'rt finging
Gems of beauty everywhere;
Flowers unfold their gorgeous petals,
Fragrance fills the summer air.
And thy presence brings blessing
To this weary world of care.
Through the forests quivering arches,
Where the fitful sunlight plays,
Golden light and shade alternate,-
Songsters trill their biithsome lays,-
And the solitude is vocal
With their matin hymns of praise.
Streams with more melodious murmur,
Glide, sweet June, when thou art near;
Balmy zephyrs seem to whisper
OF some far-off, happier sphere,
Where no sights or sounds of anguish
Wiring the heart or pain the ear.
And when Night all calm apd holy,
Bids the quiet stars arise
When the moon, in regal glory,
Cleaves her pathway through the Skies
Then, OH what world of beauty
In thy mystic presence liesi
There are hearts that know no gladness
Fen mid scenes SO fair and bright;
Happy homes forever darkene6,
Quenched for aye, their joy and light,
mid whose sorrow not a starbearn
Shines to cheer the rayless night.
For sad eyes, all dmmed with weeping,
Earth unfolds her charms in vain;
Hearts that mourn Love's brigth links severed
Yet may clasp the golden chain
In that lard where death nor sorrow
Mars eternal summers reignl

1aF In looking over newspapers we
often find many things ridiculously funny,
although it was far from the authors
wish that it should be SO. For example,
advertisements are often so written and
SO punctuated that they actually express
what they were never intended to say,
and are thus made the means of great
deal of amusement. We subjoin few
specimens, all of which are genuine, and
of most ludicrous character:
"Wanted-a steady young man to look
after horse of the Methodist persua-
sion."
"FoR SALE.-A piano by lady about
to cross the Channel IN an oak case with
carved legs"
LosT!-A small lady's watch with
white face; also. two ivory young ladies
work boxes"
"Lost or strade from the subscriber
sheep all over white-one leg was black
and half his body--all persons shall re-
ceiye five dollars to bring him. He was
she goat"
A lady recently advertised in city
paper that she wanted gentlemen for
breakfast and tea," while another in the
same journal asks for ga husband having
a Roman nose acith strong religious ten
denotes" and third party seeks to re-
cover lost wallet belonging to gentle
man made of calf skim"
An advertisement of cheap shoes in
county paper has the following nota bena:
"N. Blades wishing those cheap
shoes, will do well to call soon, as they
won't last long"
A man once advertised for Competent
persons to undertake the sale of new
medicine aud adds, we doubt not with
truth, cit will be profitable to the under-
taker." @
A Western paper advertises thus:
run AwAY.-A hired man named
John; his nose turned up FIVE feet eight
inches high, and had on pair Of ordi-
nary pants much worn"
A Wholesale house recently advertised
"Wanted, women to sell on commission"

EF A lady found some difficulty in
making couple Of children walk home
from church in q becoming manner, and
said to them:

just as sure as you are alive"
The children Immediately drew up de-
murely BY her side, and moved along as

A gentleman in Charlotte coun-
ty, Virginia, thus tested the COM
paratiye results of white and black
labor. He furnished thirteen ne
groes with mules and implements
and provisions to raise a crop, and
at the same time furnished an out
fit to two white men. The negroes
raised sixty-four barrels of corn,
seven stacks of oats and five hun
dred pounds of tobacco. The two
white men, with a little negro girl
to cook for them, raised one hun
bred and twelve barrels Of corn,
ten stacks of oats, and eight hun.
dred pounds of tobacco. The ne
gToes returned the mules in q poor
and emaciated condition. The
white men turned theirs over fat
and sleek. The negroes worked
four mules, the whites two. The
gentleman referred to will this
year, work white men exclusively.
To show the improvidence of the
negroes, he said the cart and mules
were at their service to haul wood. |
yet they preferred to burn rails.

A HoRRTBLE CANNIRAr, Sr0nY.

A HORRIBLE CANNIBAL SToRY-
A horrible tragedy is reported from
the Island of Fiji, South Seas. The
Rev. Thomas Baker, with an as
sistant missionary and six native
teachers, went to visit some inland
tribes, and he and his party were
brutally murdered by one of the
tribes, who are described as the
most confirmed cannibals. The
writer says: I'm this town Iong-
town, there lives a notorious can
nibal, with whom I had a little
conversation. He pointed me to a
PHO Oh tIr1uaH bones IN the fork of
an orange tree under which we
we're sitting, and assured me that
ne had eaten the men of which
each bone there was a representa-
tive, and that he had kept these
bones az q mementO OF his canni-
balism.
Many other things did this inhu-
man wretch make known to me
and his countenance, and more
than ordinary worn teeth, only
helped 70 convince me that he had
httefaily been bone-erusher. To
have listened to this mans state
ments, and told, too, ii tile pres
enee of those who could have con-
tradicted them if false, would have
removed forever from the minds of
some The idea that FiTans are not i
