THE GOLDEN SIDE.

There is many rest in the road of life,
If we would only stop to take il;
And many tone from the better land,
If the querulous heart would make it.
To the sunny soul that is full of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne er faileth,
The grass is green and the flowers are bright,
Though the winter storm prevaileth.
Better TO hope though the cloud hang low,
And TO keep the eyes still lifted,
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep through,
When the ominous clouds are rifted
There was never night without a day,
Or an evening without morning,
And the darkest hour, as the proverb goes,
Is the hour before the dawning
There is many gem in the path of life
Which we pass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jeweled crown,
Or the miser's boarded treasure
1t may be the love of little child,
mothers prayer to heaven,
Or only beggars grateful thanks
For cup of water given.
Better to weave in the web of life
A bright and golden filing,
And to do Gods will with a ready heart,
And hands that are ready and willing,
Than to snap the delicate, minute threads
Of our curious lives asunder,
And then blame heaven for the tangled ends,
And sit and gricve and wonder

INTELLECTUAL CULTURE. "A cultiva-
ted mind may be said to have infinite
stores Of innocent qualification. Every
thing may be interesting to it, by be-
coming subject Of thought or inquiry.
Books, regarded merely as gratifica-
ton, are worth more than all the luxu-
ries on earth. A taste for literature Sc
cures cheerful occupation for the unem-
ployed and languid hours of life; and
how many persons, in these hours, for
want Of innocent resources, are impelled
TO coarse pleasure? How many young
men can be found in the city or town,
who, unaccustomed to find companion
in book, and strangers to intellectual
activity, are almost driven, in the long,
dull evenings of wiHter, to haunts of in
temperance and bad society.

THE CANDLE FIsH.-A singular fish
is found in great numbers in the coast
rivers Of Alaska. 1t is about eight inches
long, transparent, and the fattest Of all
the finny tribe. This fat, however, has
not the oily, rancid taste Of other fish,
but is like fresh lard When these fish
are dried, the Indians often turn them to
novel and practical account-burn
them, in place Of candles. They give
clear, brilliant light, and are not liable
to be blown out by the wind. Mr.. Man
son, Superintendent at Fort Simpson,
says that the tail should be lighted in
stead of the head, and each fish will burn
about fifteen minutes.
