From the Galaxy.
WHY:
Why is thu wrong SO strong,
And the right weak and poor?
Why goes black bread to the patient msn
And gold to the evil doer?
Why dies the noble cause
VI periled life 20 save,
VIII the beautiful growth of an upstartisfn
O'ershaiows nations grave?
WHY die that Widows son?
He was all she had TO bless,
The children crowd round the selfish heart
Aud gain buta col6earess.
Who reads the riddle right?
And who can answer why
These clouds sweep over our mortal life 2
Not you, brave breast, nor /.
Why came throbbng pain?
To that heart so firm and fair
While the crown of wealth and of blithesome healtl
Some lesser angels wear?
Why went that young life out
On honor's perilous road?
The carping tongue and the jealous mind
Stay here to wound end go&d.
A picture once saw
Three crosses against the sky =;
And the heaviest cross was the highest one;
Perhaps that answers why.
To wave the banner and wreath
Was the privilege of the Jew i;
But the boon to carry that heavy cross
Was reserved, dear Lord for you.

It conduces much to our content, if
we pass by those things which happen
to our trouble, and consider what is
pleasing and prosperous, that, by the
representation of the better, the worst
may be blotted ont. IF I be oyer
thrown in my suit at law, yet home is
left me still, and my land, or l have a
virtuous wife, hopeful children, kind
friends, and good hopes. If I have
one lost child, it may be I have two OF
three still left me. Enjoy the present
whatsoever it may be, and do not be
over solicitous for the future, for if you
take your foot from the present stand
ing, and thrust it forward towards to-
morow's event, you are in a restless
condition it is like refusing to quench
your present thirst by fearing you
shall want drink the next day. If to-
morrow you should want, your sorrow
would come time enough, though you
do not hasten to meet it. Let your
troubles tarry till It's own day
comes. Enjoy the blessings of this
day, if God send them, and the evils Of
1t bear patiently and sweetly, for this
day is ours We are dead to yester-
day, and not yet born to morrow,
A ToUCHING INCIDENTAL recent
letter from the chaplain of the Auburn
prison relates the following affecting
incident:
"There died in this prison, during
the past week, young man Of good
parts, member of a highly respectable
family in another land, and who became
involved in the meshes of the law
through moral irresolution rather than
innate depravity. His thoughts, which
had wandered during the latter days
on the last one of all centered upon his
home, and he imagined that the most
eager wish of his heart in this extremi-
ty had been realized, and that his low
ing mother soothed his dying bed. A
few moments before his soul took
flight he raised himself slightly, and
extending his auen1lated arm, drew
down close to his lips the shadow con-
.jured from his own fond affections
while with alook of TIMETABLE content
glorifyiHg his pallid features, his last
breath was surrendered Gas he thought
t. tie parent who bore him"
