A BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT
before his departure for India, the Ia
mented Heber preached a sermon,
which contained this beautiful senti-
mem:
Life bears us on like tho stream Of
a mighty river. Our boat glides down
the narrow channel-through the play
ful murmuring of the little brook, and
the winding of its grassy border. Tho
trees shed their blossoms over our
Young heades, the flowers on the brink
seem TO offer themselves TO our young
hands; we are happy in hope, aud grasp
eagerly at the beauties around us--but
the stream hurries on, and our hands
are empty. Our course in youth and
manhood is along wilder flood, amid
objects more striking and magnificent.
We are animated at the moving pic
lures of enjoyment and industry passing
,is: we are excited at some short lived
disappointment. The stream bears rs
on, and our joys and griefs are alike
left behind us. We may be shipwreck
ed. we cannot be delayed; whether
rough or smooth, the river hastens to
its home, till the roar OF the ocean is in
our ears, and the tossing Of the waves
is beneath our feet, and the land less
ems from our eyes, and the floods are
lifted around US, and We take our leave
Of earth and its inhabitants, until Of
our further voyage there is no witness
save the Infinite aud Eternal.

MARRIED AT HER MorHER's DEATH
BED.-Mrs G. Kincaid, of this county,
a most estimable christian lady, vas on
her death led and fully conscious that
her end was near, announced that she
would like to see her daughter, Miss
Eliz abeth, married before her death.
The marriage had been arranged, but
was posponed on account Of the sen-
Gus illness of her mother. Her desire
was made known to the parties, min
lister was called, and in the preserce OF
the dying mother the daughter pledged
her troth to the man of her choice.
This occurred at 2 o'clock PM. last
Tuesday, and at o'clock the spirit Of
Mrs. Kincaid took its fight to . bet

SAVING Is WEALTH.-One great cause
of the poverty of the present day is the
failure of our common people to ap
precate small things. They do not
realize how daily addition, be it ever
so small, will soon make large pile.
If the young men and young women OF
oday will only begin, aud begin now,
to save little from their earnings and
plant it in the soil of some good savings
bank, and weekly or monthly add their
mite, they will wear 4 happy smile Of
competence when they reach middle
life. Not only the desire but the ability
to increase it will also grow.
Let clerk and tradesman, laborer, and
artisan, make now and at once be
ginning. Store up some of your youth
tul force and vigor for future contin-
gency Let parents teach their child
rem to begin early to save. Begin at
the fountain head to control the stream
of extravagance-to choose between
poverty and riches. Let our youth 60
on in habits of extravaganza for Fifty
years to come AS they have for fifty
years past, and we shall have nation
of beggars, with a moneyed aristocracy.
Let a generation Of such rs save in small
sums be reared, and We shall be free
from all want. Do not be ambitious
for extravagant fortune, but to seek
that which is the duty of every one to
obtain, independence and comfortable
home. Wealth, and enough of it, is
within the reach of all. 1t is obtained
by one process, and by only onc-sav
inc.

AUTUMN LEAVES.

Oh, Autumn Leaves
My spirit grieves
That YOU so soon should fade
The beauty bright
That charms our sight
On the earth's cold breast be laid.
Oh, leaves so fair
Your colors rare
A sweeter memory bring
Than all the flowers
Of summer hours,
Or all the buds Of spring.
Your naughty pride
Could not abide
The summers changeless green,
But YOU must wear
Those garments rare
Like mantles of a queen.
You rob the skies
OF sunsets dyes
And mornings crimson flush
And then by day
Your trophies gay
Bedeck each tree and bush.
But by and by
The wrathful sky
Will lay your beauty low,
And Ger your forms
December storms
Sweep wide the drifting snow.
Then praise be still
TO artist skill,
That spite of wind or storms,
Gives to our sight
In colors bright
The beauty of your forms.

CURE FOR DIrrmERIA-The rayages
of diptheria in Australia have been so
extensive within the last few years that
the government offered large reward
for any certain method OF cure, and
among other responses to this was one
BY Mr.. Greathead, who at first kept his
method a secret, but afterwards commu-
nicated it freely to the public. 1t is
simply the use of sulphuric id,of which
four drops are diluted in three-fourths
of tumbler of water to be administered
to a grown person and smaller dose
10 children, at intervals not specified.
The result is said to be a coagulation OF
the diptberitic membrane, and its ready
removal by coughing. 1t is asserted
that where the case thus treated has not
advanced to a nearly fatal termination,
the patient recovered in almost every
instance.
