THE GIRL TO FIND.

The true girl has to be sought after
She does not parade herself ID show
goods. She is not fashionable. Gen.
orally she Is not rich. But oh what
heart she has when you find horl-~so
large. aud pure and womanly. When
you see il you wonder il these snowy
things outside are women. If you gain
her love, your two thousand are mil
lions. She'll not ask You for car
riage or first class house She'll wear
simple dresses and turn them when no.
cessary. with no vulgar magniicate te
frown upon her economy. She'll keep
everything neat and nice ia your SKY
parlor, and give you such d Welcome
when you come home that You'll think
your power higher than ever. She'll.
entertain true friends on q dollsr, and
astonish you with the new thought how
little happiness depends on money.
She'll make you love home (if you dos't
you'rea brute), and teach you how to
pity while you scorn poor fashionable
society that thinks itself rich, and vain
~ tries to think itself happy. Now, do
not, pray you, say any more "Ican't
afford to marry. Go,fnd the true woman,
And you can Throw away that cigar,
burn up that switch cane, be sensible
yourself, and seek your wife 10 sensi-
bio way.

The French Geographical
Society proposed the formation of
an inland sea to the south of the
French colony of Algeria. There
are in Northern Africa lakes
known by the name of chotts,
which run dry at certain periods
Of the year. A chain of these
chotts, the first Of which is only
separated from the Mediterranean
by sandy downs, extends MS far
as Bisl1ra to the south of Constan-
tine. The last of the chain being
twenty-seven metres below tho
level Of the sea, it is thought by
cutting through the sand above
the first chott, to admit the water
of the Mediterranean to this series
oflakes, and thus form q salt water
lake at the southern extremity of
the chain, important enough to
admit of the creation of seaports.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

The religious journals Of all de-
nomination take substantially the
same view of .'the Beecher- 1ilion
scandal" The Congregationaiist
says -
1t can hardly fail to be subject
of deep regret TO all right-minded
persons that what has come to be
known as the "Beecher-TiIton
Scandal" has broken out afresh,
in the publication of a long letter
by Mr.. Tilton, acknowledgement
than stating and proving-some
grave charge or charges, against
Mr.. Beecher; and chiefly seeking
to give color to the same by the
quotation of a fragment of what
purports to be a letter ofconfession
signed by him. Three things only
are perfectly clear to us in regard
to this vexed and painful subject.
The first is that all which has yet
appeared in regard to it is con-
ceivably eXplicable in such man.
ner as TO preserve Mr.. Beecher's
integrity; the second, that he
should be allowed all reasonable
indulgence as to the time needed,
or desired, before presenting such
an explanation as he may think
fit to make; the third, that at the
end of such easonable delay, it is
essential that Mr.. Beecher should
break silence, and defend his char
acter and the purity Of his holy
office. Magnanimity is exceeding
ly lovely and commendable in its
place; bur no man has, or can have,
the right to exercise it to the peril
of the general cause of Christ, and
the pain Of the whole Israel OF
God, who cannot see, and find it
difficult to conceive of, any reason
why the general rules of right pro-
cedure should not be suspended in
this case.

THE NEGLECTED GRAVE.

The storm Of grief has long since
died away,
Hearts ceased to ache ard frnitless
tears to fow;
Behold the grave, unvisited, unlocked
Forgottenl Twas so many years ago
The rank grass waves in unmolested
pride,
Untrodden now BY loving pilgrim
feet;
The vagrant rosebusb, only on the
mound
Lays funeral tributes Of its blossoms
sweet.
Over the headstone creeps thehiding
moss,
Biolting the craven words with EN-
gers slow;
The wandering vine there hangs un-
checked its veil
None seek to read the monrnful rec
ord now.
Who slumber there? No answer from
the stone:
No monrucr near givs tender, sad re-
ply;
The echoes knew the name once: but
tie breeze
Bears no response upon its ssin
sigh,
This grave once darkened earthfor many
hearts:
Life lost its lustre and the sun !
gold;
And woeful weepers walled, Console
us DEATH
Earth holds no consolation" Now
behold
For gottenl BY the death-bed stands Des
pair,
There comes aspace Of agony and wee
ping;
And then the world goes on, the mourn
ers smile.
And Joy awakes, although the loved
lie sleeping
All, loving God ! that brings Times
healing balm
To bruised hearts that else would
break with sorrow
That Grants soft slumber to nights Of
Grief,
And sends the pleasure to the new
tomorrow.
Thou didst not will il SO that we should
weep
Over dear graves forever and for
ever;
Tis Thou that whispers tenderly "Soml
day.
When we in anguish cry, "Ah! never,
never !"
Nor do we all forget kind
time despa
Has hidden us to ceasewbenir andy
weeping;
Sorrow may perish, but within our
Love dwells forever-Love not dead
but sleeping.
