GOLDEN WORDS.

Ridicule is better expedient against
love than sober advice.
Some are proud of what they are,
others of what they are not.
Pride is "a sin that will rise out of
the ashes of other sins.
Love the men Of the world, but not
the things of the world.
Take the candle of Gods word and
search the corners of your heart.
We speak to God in prayer; God
speaks to US in his word.
Too much thinking consumes the
spirits.
The blessing of God maketh rich
and addeth no sorrow.
The more man fears sin, the less
he will fear trouble.
Pride counts the gospel foolishness /;
but the gospel always shows pride to
be so.
The church cannot live without
faith, alsl faith cannot live without
promises.
Affections are not so much threat
ened as promised to the children of
God.
Train child in the way he should
go; and when lie is old he will not
depart from it,
Seneca says: ~ great, good, and
right mind is kind of divinity lodged
in flesh.
II Christ humbled himself for our
nature, We should humble ourselves
to honor His name.
Nature made nothing In vain.
Wherever she has prepared habita-
tion, she Immediately peoples it.
Affections are of Gods sending, but
OF sins deserving-sin is the poison,
affliction is the physician.
Beecher says: God pardons like a
mother, who kisses the offences into
everlasting forgetfulness.
The work of God must be nearer to
us than our friends, desrer to us than
our liberty, and pleasanter to US than
all earthly comforters.
Two things are to be trembled at
the presence of God which fills all
places, and the word of God which
reacheth to all times.
However many friends you have,
do not neglect yourself; though you
have thousand, not one of them will
love you as you ought to love yourself.

LINES T0 A YOUNG LADY LATE
LIZ MARRIED.

By AN UNMARRIED LADY.
Hear-since the single state
You've left, and chosen yourself mate.
Since metamorphosed to wife,
Both bliss and woe insured for life
A friendly muse the way would show
10 gain tho bliss and miss the woe.
Small Is the province Of wife,
And narrow is her sphere of life;
Within that sphere, to move Alright
Should be her principal delights;
To guide her house with pruden: care.
Both properly to spend and spare.
To make her husband bless the day
He gave his liberty away,
TO form the tender infant mind
These are the tasks 10 wife assigned.
Then never think domestic caro-
Beneath the notice Of the fSlr.
But daily taose Affairs inspect.
That naugbt be wasted BY neglect
Be always clean, but seldom fne,.
Let decent nsatness round you shine;
If once fair decency be fed
Love soon deserts the genial bed;
Not nice your house, tho neat and ciean'
In all things there's proper mean;
some of our sex mistake in this.
Too an xious some, some too remiss.
The early days Of welded life
Arc oft 'ercast with childish strife;
Then be it your peculiar care
To keep this season bright and fair;
Por then's the time, by gentle art,
To fix your empire in his heart.
With kind, obliging carriage strive
To keep the lamp of love alive,
For should it thro' the night expire.
No art again can light that fre.
To charm his reason dress your mind-
Till love shall be with friendship joinsd,
Raised on that basis twill endure,
From time and death itself secure.
Be sure you neer for power contend,
Nor try by tears to gsin your end.
Sometimes the tears that cloud your eyes
From price and obstiLacy arise;
Heaven gave to man luxurious sway,
Then heaven and him at once obey.
Let sullen frOwns your brow ne'er cloud,
Be always cheerful, never loud;
Let trifles never discompose
Your features, temper, or repose;
Abroad for happiness nee roam,
True happiness resides at home.
Still make your partner easy there,
Man finds abroad sufficient care;
II everything at home be- right
He'll always enter with delight.
Your converse he'll prefer to sli
Those cheats the world do pleasures call;
With cheerful chat his cares beguile,
And always meet him with smile.
Should passion e'er his soul dcform,
Serenely meet the bursting storm;
Never with worldly war engage,
Nor ever meet his rage with rage.
With all your seX's sOfL'ning art
Recall lost reason to his heart.
Thus calm the tempest in his breast,
Aud sweetly sOothe his soul 10 rest
BE sure you ne'er arrsign his sense,
Few husbands pardon lhat Offense;s
Twill raise oiscorda, disputes II breeds,
And hatred certainly succeeds
Then shnn, o shun that fatal step;
stili think him wiser than thyself.
If YOU should otherwise believe,

he did not expect to see his Nelly being

by the neglectful Jem Duckworth.
When Joe entered the room, there
was his future son-in-law-supposed to
be many miles away-helping Nelly
dish up the potatoes. No wonder poor
Joe looked amazed and tried to stam-

However, there was no doubling the
