Burdens.

[" Bear ye another's burdens. and so fulfil the
law of Christi
All have their burdens. Here theweary one
Is bowed to earth, with poverty his load.
The rich man, plying lifts and now the
Shines brighter on these pilgrims o'er lite's road
All have their burdens. Here the tear-dimmed eve
And bleeding heart proclaim Deaths cruel hand
But soothing words assuage the grief and sigh
And sooth the pathway toward the fearless land.
All have their burdens. Here uncouthly move
The lame and maTred, their hearts oft wrung with
But deeds OF sympathy and tones of love pain
What balm TO soOthe those hearts to joy again
All have their burdens. Here the eye is dim;
No beam of joy can smiles or sunlight bring
But kindness leads and sheds TINS cheering CLEAN
The light and hope that gid and endless spring.
All have their burdens. Here the sick one lies
Ills room prison many weary year flies
Friends greet with love; then swift each moment
Their gifts and words so fill his soul with cheer,
All have their burdens, Here with wearying cares
The rich nun tolls TO hoard the shining dust;
But needing wlsdoms voice, he shuns the snares
And stores his treasures far from moth and rust
All have their burdens. Here with sin oppressed
The sOTrowing souls hears thrO' his gloom of nj ght
A eRYloul 5 VOiee-le e laden, come aud rest
My yoke is easy. and my burden light.
The HOLY One had burdens. SORROWS tears:
The garden and the cToss-what anguish there
We bear his burdens when our love appears
lie smiles when we anothers burden share.

The Three Ships.

By JULIA C. R, DoRR.
Over the waters clear and dark
Flew, like a startled bird, our bark,
All the day long with steady sweep.
Sea-guils followed us over the deep.
Weird and strange were the silent shores
Rich with their wealth OF buried ores;
Mighty the forests old and gray,
With the secrets locked in their hearts away;
Semblance of castle and arch and shrine
lowered alOit in the clear sunshine;
And we watched for the warder, stern and grim,
Over that wonderful northern sea,
As one who sails IN dream sailed we.
Till, when the young moon scared on high.
Nothing was round US but sea and sky.
Far in the east the pale moon swung
crescent dim in the azure hung
But the sun lay low in the glowing west,
With bans OF purple across MS breast.
The skies were ahame with the sunset glow,
The biilOws were all atame be.ow;
The far horizon seemed the gate
10 some mystic worlds enchanted state;
And all the air was luminous mist,
Crimson and amber aud amethyst.
Then silently into that fiery sea-
Into the heart OF the nlystefy-
Three ships went sailing one by one,
The ialrest VISIONS under the sun.
Like the fame in the heart Of aruby set
Were the sails that flew from each mast of jet;
While darkly against the burning sky
stTeamer and pennant hoated high.
Steadily. silently. on they pressed
Into the glowing. reddenlng west;
Until. on the far horizons fold
They slowly passed through its gate of gold.
You think perhaps, they were nothing more
Than schooners laden with common ore?
Where Care clasped hands with grimy Toll.
And the decks were stained with earthly mol
Oh. beautiful ships who sailed that night
Into the west from our vearning sight,
Full well 1 know that the freight ye bore
Vas laden not tor an earthly shore
To some far realm ye were sailing on,
Where all we have lost shall yet be won;
Ye were bearing thither world of dreams.
Rrightas that sunsets golden CLEANS
And hopes whose tremuIous, rosy flush
Grew faIrer still in the twilight hush;
Ye were bearing hence to that n ystic sphere
Thoughts no mortal may utter here
Songs that on earth may not be sung
Words too holy for human tongue
The golden deeds that we would have done
The fadeless wreaths that we would have won
And hence il was that our souls with you
TTayersed the neasureless waste of blue.
Till you passed under the sunset gate,
And 20 US a voice said softly. Mait2"

SLURs ON WoMEN.-Of all evils pre-.
valent among young men, We know of
none more blighting in its moral effects
than to speak slightly of the virtue of
women. Nor is there anything in which
young men are so thoroughly mistaken,
as the low estimate they form of the in
tegrity of women-not of their own
mothers and sisters, but of others. who,
they forget, are somebody else's mothers
and sisters. As rule, no person who
surrendors to this debasing habit is to be
trusted with any enterprise requiring in
tegrity of character. Plain words should
be spoken on this point, for the evil is
general one, and deep rooted. Ii young
men are sometimes thrown into the soci-
ETY. of thoughiless or LEVIED women, they
have no more right to measure all other
women by what they see of these, than
they would have to estimate the char
aeter of honest and respectable citizens
by the developments of crime in our po-
lice courts. Let our young men remem-
ber that their chief happiness on life de-
pends upon their utter faith in women.
No worldly wisdom, no misanthropic
philosophy, no generalization, can cover
or weaken this fundamental truth. 1t
stands like the record of God itself--for
it is nothing less than tbis-and should
put an everlasting seal upon lips that are
wont to speak sligbtingly of women.

The Eve of an Ergle.

The eyes of all birds have peculiar
ity Of structure, which enables them to
see near and distant objects equally we'll,
and this wonderful power is carried to
the greatest perfection in the bird of prey
When We recollect that an eagle will as
cend more than mile in perpendicular
height and from that enormous elevation
will perceive its unsuspecting prey, and
pounce upon it with unerring certainty
and when we see the same bird scrutiniziug
with almost microscopic nicely an object
close at hand, We shall at once perceive
that he possesses power of accommo-
dating his sight to distance in manner
to which our eye is untitled, and Of which
1t is totally incapable.
Ii We take printed page, we shall find
that there is some particular distance,
probably ten inches, at which we can
read the words and gee each letter with
perfect disGinctness; but if we move the
page to distance oe forty inches, or
bring it within distance of five inches,
we shall find it impossible to read at all.
A scientific man would, therefore, call
ten inches the focus, or focal distance of
our eyes. We cannot alter this focus
except by the aid of spectacles. But an
eagle has the power Of altering the TO
Gus Of his eye just as he pleases he has
only to look a. an object at the distance of
two feet or two miles in order to see it
with distinctness. OF course the eagle
knows nothing of the wonderful contriv-
ance which God has supplied for his ac-
commodation he employs it instructive
ly, and because he cannot help it. Ths
bali of his eye is surrounded by fifteen
little plates, called sclerotic bones they
form a complete ring, and their edges
slightly overlap each other. When he
looks at a distant object, this little circle
of bones expands, and the ball of the eye
being relieved from the pressure, becomes
fatier land when he looks atavery nearob-
ject, the little bones press together, and
the ball of the eye is thus squeezed into
rounder or more convex form. Theef-
feet is familiar to everybody. A person
with very round eyes is near sighted, and
only sees clearly an object that is close to
him; and person with fat eyes, as in
old age, can see nothing except at a dis.
tance. The eagle by the mere will, can
make his eyes round or fiat, and see with
equal clearness at any distance.

DEATH OF FREDERICK THE GREAT
On the 18th, after restless night, he did
not wake until eleven o'clock in the morn
ing. For short time he seemed confus-
ed. He then summoned his generals and
secretaries, and gave his orders with all
his wontee precision. He then called in
his three clerks, and dictated to them up
on various subjects. His directions TO
an ambassador, who was about leaving,
filled four quarto pages.
As night came on he fell into what
may be called the death-sleep. His
breathing was painful and stertorous;
his mind was in delirious dreams; his
voice became inarticulate. At a mo-
ment of returning consciousness he tried
several times in vain to give some utter
ance to his thoughts. Then, with de-
spairing look of countenance, he sank
back upon his pillow. Fever flushed his
cheeks, and his eyes assumed some Of
their wonted fire. Thus the dying hours
we're prolonged, as the friendIess mon
arch, surrounded by respectful attend
ants, slowly descended to the grave.
His feet and legs became cold. Death
was stealing its way toward the vitals.
About nine o'clock Wednesday evening
painful cough commenced, with diff
Guilty of breathing, and an ominous rat
tie in the throat. One of his dogs sat by
his bedside, and shivered with cold the
king made sign for them to throw .
quilt over it.
Another severe fit of coughing ensued
and the king, having with difficulty got
rid of the phlegm, said, +" The mountain
is passed; we shall be better now"
These were his last words. The expir-
ing monarch sat in his chair, but III Q
state of such extreme weakness that he
was continually sinking down, with his
chest and neck so bent forward that
breathing was almost impossible. One,
of his faithful Wallets took the king upon
his knee and placed his left arm around
his waist, while the king threw his right
arm around the Wallets neck.
1t was midnight. Within doors all
is silence around it the dark earth is ST.
lent, above it the silent stars Thus for
two hours the attendants sat motionless,
holding the dying king. Not word was
spoken no sound could be heard but the
painful breathing which precedes Leath.
ADJUST twenty minutes past two o'clock
the breathing ceased, the spirit took its
fight, and the life!ess body alone remain
ed. LIES great battle was ended and
the soul of the monarch ascended to that
dread tribunal where prince and peasant
must alike answer for all the deeds done
in the body. 1t was the 18th Of August,
1856. The king had reigneG forty-six
years, and had lived seventy-six years.

how TO SUCCEED-SENsIBLE ADVICE
FROM COLLEGE PRESIDENT. T.-President
Porter. of Yale College. recently gave to
his students compendium of advice,
which has rarely been surpassed for
comprehensive brevity. He says:
Young men, You are the architects OF
your own fortunes. Rely upon your
own strength of body and soul. Take
for your star self-reliance, faith, honesty
and industry. Inscribe on your banner
"Luck is fool, Pluck is hero" Don't
take too much advice; keep at your
helm and steer your own ship, and re-
member that the great art of command
ing is to take fair share of the work.
Don't practice too much humanity.
Think we'll of yourself. Strike out.
Assume your own position. Put pota-
toes III your cart over rough road, and
small ones go to the bottom. Rise
above the envions and jealous. Fire
above the mark you intend to hit. En-.
ergy. invinoible determination, with a
right motive. nre the levers that move
the world. Don't drink. Don't chew.
Don't smoke. Don't swear. Don't de-
ceive. Don't marry until you can sup.
port wife. Bo in earnest. Be eelf-re.
liant. Be generous. Be civil. Read
the papers. Advertise your business.
Make money and do good with it. Love
your God and fellow-man. Love truth
and virtue. Love your country and
obey its laws.
