TRUE III E ROIS M .

Let others write of battles fought
On bloody, ghastly fields,
Where honor greets the man who wins,
And death the man who yields;
But will write of him who fights
And vanquishes his sins,
Who struggles on through weary years,
Against himself, and wins.
He is hero staunch and brave,
Who fights an unseen foe,
And puts at last beneath his feet
His passions base and low,
And stands erect in manhood's might,
Undaunted, undismayed-
The bravest man that drew sword
In foray or in raid.
1t calls for something more than Drawn
Or muscle to O ercome
An enemy who marcheth not
With banner, plume and drum
A foe forever lurking nigh,
With silent stealthy tread,
Forever near your board by day,
AT night beside your bed.
All honor, then, to that brave heart,
Though poor or rich he be,
Who struggles with his baser part
Who conquers, and is free.
He may not wear hero's crown,
Or fill hero's grave;
But truth will place his name among
The braveSt of the brave.

I saw it budding in beauty-I felt the magic of
its smile.''
Deep hidden in every human heart is a
beautiful pearl, clear. sparkling and pure.
which We call kindness. Though hidden
there, far removed from mortal eyes, yet
its influence is open as the sunlight, and
reflects in every action, and every word
we speak. "Kindness comes over the
spirit like the music of David's harp over
the passions of Saul. It is crown of
glory on the head Of old age-a jewel rare
on the bosom Of childhood" In thous-
and nameless forms it manifests itself, and
in every one it seems beautiful. In the
weary journey of life, it has charm most
potent. making happy the weary hearted,
the toiling poor, the wanderer, and in
every department of life, its holy power.
its magic spell. is felt and known. Kind
ness! there is mystic delight, an inde-
scribable joy, in its sweetest music, which
thrills every heart.
1t dispels the clouds from the moody
brow, warns the soul with tiuts of rosy
bliss, fills the home with gladness, checks
the mourner's tears, and makes the rough,
stony pathway of life soft, smooth and
gladsome. A strange power hath this
good spirit of kindness, winding it's subtle
thread all through the events of human
life, and filing the chambers of the heart
with holy refrain.
Oh! who hath not felt its power, its
calm beauty, cheering us through the ills
and sorrows of life If every one appre-
hended the real value of kind words, and
knew how to use them, there would be
less sorrow, trouble, and discomfort, and
more joy, sunshine and happiness Whole
family circles would emerge from gloomy
darkness into the pure atmosphere Of

Lord Elgin says the distinguishing
characteristic Of the Chinese mind Is this,
that at all points Of the circle described by
mans intelligence. it seems occasionally
to have caught glimpses of heaven far
beyond the range of its ordinary ken and
vision. 1t caught glimpse of the path
which leads to military supremacy when
it invented gunpowder some centuries be-
fore the discovery was made by any other
nation. 1t caught glimpse Of the path
which leads to maritime supremacy when
it made, at period equally remote, the
discovery of the mariners compass. It
caught glimpse Of the path which leads
to literary supremacy, when, in the tenth
century, it invented the printing press
It has caught, from time to time. glimpses
of the beautiful in color and design. But.
in the hands of the Chinese themselves,
the invention Of gunpowder has exploded
in crackers and harmless fireworks. The
mariners compass has produced nothing
better than the coasting junk. The art
of printing has stagnated into stercotyped
editions of Con fucius, and the most cyni-
cal representations of the grotesque have
been the principal products Of Chinese
conceptions of. the sublime and beautiful.

Farming Compared With Other Profes-
y si0ns. - .t.-t 80 Is

Governor Chamberlain, in making some
suggestions to the Legislature of Maine in
his annual address, relative to the impor-
tance of farming. which he represents as
the "great branch Of our industries. I"
adds : o.Farming is rather hard way to
get rich, but it is good way to be inde-
pendent. And [ think, as general
thing, farmers are far happier than any
other class of men who work as hard,
whether with hands or brains.' This
sentiment will find an echo in the breast
of nearly every business man in other pur-
suits. During the past year how many
merchants or manufactures can show that
they stand as we'll in their business rela-
tons as they did the year before? and
what vast numbers, in marking down
their prices, find shrinkage in values far
greater than all their profits for the year,
whilst the capital has been dipped into for
the supply of family wants-to pay for
rents, equipages, and to keep up the ap-
pearance Of healthy business? On the
other hand, the farmer, if he has not laid
in much money-and.a a large number Of
grain growers, in consequence of the low
price occasioned by the heavy crop made
last year Of wheat (their principal money
crop,) have not-yet. if he was out Of
debt before, need not be otherwise than in
a comfortable condition, for he has been
enabled to raise suficiency for bis own
support, if he is at all provident in his
habits And then from what load Of
mental agencies has he been exempted in
comparison with other professions! s y.

KINDNESS.
BY ANNIE S. BARTLETT.

''There is fragrant blossom, that maketh glad
the garden of the heart;
Its roots lleth deep; it is delicate, yet lasting
as the lilac Of autumn;
Its companions are gentle flowers, and the brier
withereth by its side;
l saw it budding in beauty felt the magic of
its smile.''

Sunday Shaving.

Apropos OF suit that has been instituted
in Portland, Me-, correspondent relates
the particulars of lawsuit in Scotland.
About 80 years ago, the father of boy APP
prenticed to barber, brought suit against
the employer to prevent his compelling the
boy to shave customers boards on Sunday.
The necessity for people to be shaved in
order to attend the kirk was apparent to
the first Court that tried the case, aud the
father of the boy appealed from its decision
to the Supreme Court, the celebrated Lord
Jeffrey presiding. Lord Jeffrey decided
the kirk-goers could have their boards
shaven on Saturday nights, and that the
boy could not by law be compelled to work
on Sunday. The b,rber carried up the case
thence to the Inner House, and the united
wisdom thereof reversed the decision OF
Lord Jeffrey. The boy had to go on with
shavings on Sundays as at first. Both par
ties to the suit were quite stripped OF
means to continue it, but the mother OF the
boy appealed in forna pauperis to the House
of Peers. Several years elapsed, but at
length the case was finally adjucated; the
lecision of the Inner House was reversed,
and that of LORD Jeffrey's sustained The
boy had long since become q man, and out
grown his indentures Nevertheless, o
3reat principle had been established, and
the rights OF the razor determined.

DICKENS habits as speaker differed
from those of most orators. He gave no
thought to the composition of the speech
he was to make till the day before he was
to deliver it. No matter whether the effort
was to be a long or short one, he never
wrote down q word he was going to say;
but when the proper time arrived for him
to consider his subject, he took walk in
to the country, and the thing was done.
When he returned, he was all ready for his
task. 1t gave him natural pleasure when
he heard quotations from his own books
introduced without effort into converse
ton. He did not always remember when
his own words were quoted, that ne was
himself the author OF them, and appeared
astounded at the memory Of Others in this
regard He said Mr.. Secretary Stanton
had most extraordinary knowledge of his
books and the power Of taking the text up
at any point which he supposed to belong
to only one person, and that person not
himself.

long been q member Of the Church. and was
President OF the Ladies' Missionary Society Of
West Alexander U. P. congregation when che
died. She had passed through severe trials be-
fore, and bore them with Christian fortisude. A
few year ago two lovely, intelligent and accom-
plIshed Christian daughters, her only children,
were called away in early wotnalhood. and
though her house was enshrouded in darkness.
aud Ger heart oiled with gloom, she eorTowcd not
as those who have no hope. And during her last
lingering, and at times very painful sickness, she
seemed quite resigned TO the will Of her Heavenly
Father, and exhibited much Of tho patience and
meskneSs Of the Master. She took great delight
in repeating Palms, especially the 39th, 61th and
SD, and expressed herself as particularly grail
fed that her mother had taught her 20 many Of
these precious Palms In her youth, IOs they were
q source Of great comfort to her. Invoking the
blessing Of God upon her feeble and atitcted
husband, and commencing him 70 the care Of her
brother, James R Bell, she calmly passed away,
and, as we trust, now sweetly sleeps in Jesus.
