The sensitive heart shrinks from their EN-
brace, and weeps that there are none worthy
OF trust. Confidence once betrayed. can
"e0er be regained. We cannot trust him
who has once broken faith, nor will we so
readily confide in another. Disappointed,
and grieved at the Inconsistency of one, we
rashly conclude there are none good. Tired
OF the hollow, the base, the untrle,r we
wrap ourselves in the solitude of our own
hearts, to spend our days in selfish misan-
thropy.
This conclusion is unjust. There are some
spirits fifty capacitated for friendship, who
even foget themselves for others. Away
with your summer friends, and give me the
heart in whom [ can always confide, who is
as willing to hear my sorrows as to share
my joys who sits at my board when spread
with plenty, or breaks his last morse1 with
me in the day Of want; who loves me in the
vigor of youth, and clings to me in declining
years, who can not only praise my virtues,
but dares to tell me my faults and correct
my errors; who not only respects me when
the world applauds, but boldly defends my
character when assailed, or DETAINED by the
tongue of SANDER; into whose ear | can
pour my complaints in the day of distress,
and receive whispers of comfort to my des-
ponding spirit; who drops the sympathiz-
ing tear when [ weep, and lifts the burden
from my breaking heart wholingers around
my couch in sickness, and cheerfully minis
tiers to my wants when disease renders me
helpless. Oh! yes, there are some in the
bleak, unfriendly world, worthy of the
highest esteem. and they are more precious
than gold. Who can estimate the value of
a true, constant, faithful friend

ALWAYS DISAPPOINTED.

DID you ever see, far, far, away from YOU,
the beautiful purple mountains, and set
forth to seek them, with a vague feeling that
upon them the world must seem more beau
tifu' more romantic than it does upon the
plain? But as you go on, though the roads
are hiTy and there is some climbing. to be,
you discover that YOU never seem 70 reach
those mountains-those wonderousTy beau
tiful mysteries that smile upon you from
afar. You tread common earth and clam-
Der over nm rocks. The trees and
bushes grow even less beautiful ; they are
stunted and rough; there is much that lis
troublesome in the path, and you cannot be-
lieve that you are higher above the earth
than you We're. Far away still lies the
beautiful mystery-far away, far away !;
and about you only mie, and dust, and
stones, and common heritage. Even should
you mount to some highest peak and look
back, you would find the beauty in the valley
you have left, not Or the rugged mountain
where you stood.
and so in life. Climb where you may, to
whatever pinnacle, you never reach your
beautiful mountain. Where you stand,
another's eyes may be fixed now. To- him

once had to yora Yom have only proven

Written for the Husbandman.
A FRIEND,

Upper once said, !" the man is a marvel
whom truth can write a friend" Though
there are many who falsely bear the sacred
name, few prove themselves worthy of the
appellation. Human nature is so thorough
ly selfish, that true friendship is rarely
found to exist. 1t cannot flourish in the
soil of %selfishness, neither does it grow
among the briers of suspicion. There must
be mutual trust. There must be perfect
confidence, even in tri1es. The entire web
of life. is made up of little matters, woven
and interviewer to form a fabric, firm and
durable. Break one thread and it is defaced;
use counterfeit material and the whole is
rendered worthless. So friendship consists
in little things, which if carefully chosen
and closely connected, grow and unite, in
creasing in strength and durability, until the
intercourse Of soul is complete.
@Whom fortune fayors the world will hon.
Or" In the sunshine of prosperity there
are many who designate themselves friends
they smile at your coming, they greet you
cordially, your opinion invariably meets
their appreciation, and nothing could induce
them to differ with you, in word or thought.
While you prosper they find no fault in you,
just let the tide change , let fortunes threat
ening frown lower upon your pathway, and
the star of evil destiny o%vershadow you.
Struggle bravely against it, exert your en-
ergiess to their utmost ability, to. save your
self from impending ruin, and when you
find all your efforts un~avaisingg-tlat you
must have assistance in the day of your ca
lamity-call upon, your friends for timely
aid, and where are~they? Oh how sudden
ly they have become estranged; they meet
you with ayerteds eye, or turn the corner
quickly to avoid recognition. They, because
You need help, would rather triumph
over your downfallatha extend one. hand to
lift yonup. These are the selfish, ~falseones,
who cast reproach upon the. sacred, name.

REBUKE.

Judges sometimes clip the wings of young
lawyers when they soar to lofty heights of
rhetoric. An English Judge broke m on a
hi-a-lutin speech of a pompous advocate, as
he exclaimed, "My lord, it is written in the
book of Nature" Con what page, sir? On
what page?" said the Judge, with pencil
in hand. Chief Justice Waite was equally
cruel to a young Virginia lawyer:
a young lawyer from Virginia took ocea-
sion, a few days since, to arr his %eloquence
and his views before the United States SUI
preme Court at Washington. 1t was a case
in which the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
was a party. The young pleader remarked
"If it please your honors, this is a most
important case. Grand, because it is great
intricate, because it is complicated; far
reaching, because there is much of it; and
astonishing, because of its marvellous rela-
tons. My clients, your honors, nave been
most previously Wronged, and ifso, and such
be the case, Virginia, the great State of Vir-
ginia, the mother of Presidents, and the IA
ther ofall loneliness, will be the recipient
of gross injustice. Can we submit to it as
honorable men, as philosophical citizens, as
God-fearing members of the human race?
Your honors, | ask you canelidly, can we
submit to it Pr
Before the orator could read off any more
Of this sort of thing; Chief Justice Waite in
terrnpted him in the most quiet and good
humored way imaginable, and said,-
"The gentleman must remember that
we are here to listen to constitutional argu-
ment, and not for THE pnrpose of having the
counsel appeal to the bones of our forefa-
theirs, or build monuments with rhetoric"

NO MOTHER.
AGNES GALE.

The other day, when a stern and digniffed
Judge ordered a prisoner to stand up and
offer objections, if he had any, to being SEN
fenced to prison for a long term of years,
the prisoner rose and said
II never had a mother to shed tears over
met"
His words entered every heart in the court
room. He was u rough, bad man, III the
middle age of life, and he had been convict
ed of burglary, but every heart softened to-
ward him as his lips uttered the words. He
felt what he said, and tears rolled down his
ceeks as he continued:
If had had a mothers love and a moth
er's tears-some one to plead with me and
pray with mel should not now be what
I am!o
All! that's it! There is power in a moth
er's love, in her tears, pleadings and pray
ers, whose influence is hardly to be realized.
God pity the Lad who has no home to 90 to
no mother to whom he can tell his troub-
les and his griefs-no mother to put her
arms around his neck and beseech Heaven
to keep him in right paths There is no
heart like a mothers. Her child may wound
it again and again, yea, pierce it with a
sword, and it's last pulsations will still beat
with love for the migrate. 1t is the first to
excuse his faults, the last to condemn.
There is no love like q mother's-none SO
enduring, SO tender, so far%-reaching. 1t is
lavished upon the child in the cradle, and it
follows the boy over the ocean. It calls up
the wanderer the first thing in the morning.
and it remains with him until sleep closes
the eyes,. When mothers love for her off
spring dies out, it is a certain sign that he
has become a being too atrocious to longer
live among men.
There are no tears like a mothers. Moth
ing can SO tighten the sorrow Of a child
nothing SO restrain a mind from wandering
into evil paths. The man who looks pack
over his childhood and youth regrets moth
ing so much as that he has brought tears of
sorrow and sadness to a fond mothers eyes.
Every tear a mother sheds over a hayward
child isrecorded in the great book, and he
shall answer for it.
There are no prayers like a mothers
none that reachso far, and none so earnest.
The wandereron foreign shores feels this in
his heart, and he is thankful to Heaven that
he can feel it. Kneeling at her bedside and
asking the angel to guide the feet of her
children in right paths, who doubts that a
mothers prayers are heard in heaven?

A tranquil life is this YOU lend: A---
Like vloiets in some sheltered mead,
Sunshine and food is all you need.
And that is near.
But in your shells there hidden lie
No gems to stay the passer by,
And with their brightness charm his eye,
The scene we'll change.
The waters rush and hurry past,
Der other shells, whose lot is cast
Mid scenes far different from the last,
More wild, more strange.
Ye here are tossed by every tide,
Tossed when they swell, and when subsidies;
While rough waves often DER you ride,
And wild winds sweep.
Pressed down by every passing wheel,
Trod by each horses iron heel, -
You daily pain and anguish feel,
And then you weep.
But sec Gods providence hath you planned,
Those tears should waste not on the sand,
Rut fnsh1nnp1 bu on rncaa, hand
Form gems of light.
Then, when, to greet the rising tide,
Your rosy shells are opened wide,
Those pearls are seen within to hide,
And glitter bright.
BY Nature here q lessons writ,
That, sorrowing one, your case may fit,
And make a CLEAN of joy to fit
Athwart your view.
Though crushed by anguish oft and fear,
Though fringed your eyes with many a tear,
And moist your cheeks from year to year
With sorrows dews;
Yet comfort take; if in your heart
Strong Faith and Grace have gained q part,
To holy pearls, by heavenly art,
Your tears they'll turn.
Then, when at last from sorrow night,
Your pathway leads to fields Of light,
Upon your crown of glory bright
For aye they'll burn.
