in few years, and have brought myself to
this. Before die will make solemn re-
quest Of Jane to marry Benton for second
husband"
At this moment Mrs. Fred. Kennedy ap.
peared, her cheeks flushed to vermilion with
the effect of the cold evening air. did not
wonder at the enrobling influence of such a
pure beauty as hers upon Benton's sensitive
mind. Fred introduced me, and somehow we
all found ourselves before the portrait at once.
"I've told Tom all about it" said Fred. to
his wife,
Mrs. Kennedy gave him look Of wounded
reproach, and then said to me in way which
spoke volumes, "You know Fred"
Fred. has become an humble man, and bids
fair to put off the day Of Mr.. Benton's hap.
piness to very indefinite future. Besides,
his family has been increased to that degree
that it would be doubtful whether the artist
would be willing to take the bereaved Mrs.
Kennedy with the "incumbrances. Still, |
have no doubt that Fred's imaginary sacri-
flee has served its purpose in restoring, in
some degree, his selfrespect.

to falter when the prize is all the brighter
and the goal the more glorious therefor? The
crown of triumph is reserved for those who
strive, and however accident may seem to
elevate this or the other man, there is "royal
road" to fortune or fame. These are seldom,
if ever, won by the II cant's." On the lips Of
the young, no words are so miserable as these.
They betray a puny, coward spirit. Alex
ander sternly rebnked the lieutenant who
uttered them in his presence; and to give
bis rebuke force, spurred forth and accom-.
plished what his subaltern deemed impossi.
bEe Men of this will and decision, conquer
in whatever they attempt Seek lot to do
much, but measure your means and faculties,
accept the bravest toll possible, and win.
Never say II can't" "I'll try" are she words
that have made more than one name immor-
tai.
THE AGE OF MAN-But few men die OF
age Almost all die of disappointment, pas
sion, mental and bodily toll, or accident. The
common expression, "choked with passion"
has little exaggeration in it; even though
not suddenly fatal, strong passion shortens
life. Strong bodied men often di young;
weak men live longer than the strong; for
they use their strength, and the weak have
none to use. The latter take care Of them
selves, the former do not. As it is with the
body, 80 it is with the mind and temper. The
strong are apt to break, or, like the candle,
run; the weak burn out. The inferior animals
which live, in general, temperate lives, have
generally their prescribed terms Of years.
The horse lives 25 years, the OK Is or 20, the
lion about 20, the dog about 10 or IL, the rab-
Bit 8, the Guinea pig from 6 TOT. These mum.
bers all bear similar proportion to the time
the animal takes to grow to its full size, but
man of all the animals, is one that seldom
comes up to this average. He ought to live
hundred years according to this physologi-
cal law; for FIVE times twenty are one hun.
dred-but instead Of that, he scarcely reach
es, on an average, four times his growing
period the cat six times, and the rabbit even
eight times the standard of measurement.
The reason is obvious man is not only the
most irregular, and the most incorporate,
but the most labotious and hard worked Of
all animals He is also the most irritable of
all animals; and there is reason to believe,
though we cannot tell what an animal secret
ly feels, that more than any other animal, man
cherishes wrath, to keep it warm-and con.
sumes himself with the fire of his own secret
reflections.

THE CHANGE

THE CHANGE.
Out of the long dresses
And into the dainty frocks,
Little blue shoes with buttons
In the place Of the worsted socks;
No longer a helpless baby,
Carried in arms all day,
But a restless, mischievous fellow,
Brimming with frolic and play.
Getting himself into troubles
That seemingly have no end,
Tearing big holes" in his dresses
For patient mamma to mend!
Bumping his curly round noddle
Which mammals soft kisses must cure;
And meeting hundred misfortunes
Which babies must learn to endure.
Too soon shall lose my baby,
And do the best I can
To welcome the magical power
Which changes the boy to man!
Oh that the years were slower
In rolling the months away,
And would that for many season
My baby child might stay!
Iwonder how he is dearer
AS only a babe on my breast?
Or changed to this rogush fellow
Whose feet are never at rest!
Is rosebud any the sweeter
Before it's full-grown rose?
All! the love that is born with the baby
Must grow as the baby grows!

No WAsHINGToN.-A young friend of
ours tells the following story of himself:
When young he had read the well known
story of George Washington's love of truth,
and the fathers love of the noble principle of
his son, so we'll manifested on the occasion re-
ferred to, of Georges cutting down the cher.
ry tree, acknowledging his transaction, and re-
ceiving full and free pardon, besides praises
and kind caresses from his father. So Jim,
actuated by so noble an example, thought he
would try the hatchet, and going to his faith.
er's orchard, cut down some choice fruit trees.
He then coolly sat down to await the old
mans coming, and as soon asde made his ap-
pearance, marched up to him with an inpor-
tant air and acknowledged the deed, expect
ing the next thing on the programme 10 be
tears, benediction and embraces from the Of
Tended parent. But sad to relate, instead of
this, the old gentleman caught up hickory
and gave him an "all6red lamming."
Jim was no Washington.

INDEsTRUCTIBIL1TY OF MATTEE.-.We
can alter the combination and form of matter,
but we cannot in any way destroy it; and
though we may avail ourselves Of its proper
ties, in order to obtain an enormous force to
do our bidding, and so make ourselves inde-
pendent of wind and tide, and even anticipate
the flight of time, we can create no new prop
erty. Zone of the most obvious cases." says
Sir j. Herschell, "of apparent destruction is,
when anything il ground to dust and scatter.
ed to the winds. But it is one thing to grind
fabric to powder, and another to annibilate
its materials scattered as they may be, they
must fall somewhere, and continue, if only as
ingredients of the soil, to perform their hum
BILE but useful part in the economy of nature.
The destruction produced by fire is more stri-
king In many cases, as in the burning Of a
piece of charcoal or q taper, there is no
smoke-nothing visibly dissipated and carried
away the burning body wastes and disap-
pears, while nothing seems to be produced but
warmth and light, which we are not in the
habit of considering as substances and when
all has disappeared, except, perhaps some,
triAing ashes, we naturally enough suppose it
is gone, lost, destroyed. But when the ques.
tion is examined more exactly, we detect, in
the invisible stream of heated air which as
cends from the glowing coal or flaming wax,
the whole ponderable matter, only united in
new combination with the air, and dissolved
in it. Yet, SO far from being thereby des-
troyed, it is only become again what it was
before it existed in the form of charcoal or
wax-an active agent in the business of the
world, and main support of vegetable and
animal life."- dickens.

DESCRIPTION OF JEsUs.-The following
epistle, was taken by Napoleon from the pub.
lie records of Rome, when he deprived that
city of 80 many valuable manuscripts. 1t
was written at the time and on the spot where
Jesus commenced his Ministry, by Publius
Lentullus, the Governor of Judea, to the
Senate of Rome, Cesar being Emperor It
was the custom in those days for the Governor
to write home any event of Importance which
transpired while he held Office:
Conscript Fathers: There appeared in
these, our days, q man named Jesus Christ,
who is yet living among US, and of the Cen
tile is accepted as prophet of great truth
but his own disciples call him the son of God.
He hath raised the dead, cured all manner
of. diseases He is man of stature some
what tall and comely, with a very ruddy
countenance, such as one may both love and
fear. His hair is of the color of Gilbert,
when fully ripe plain to his ears, whence
downward, it is more orient of color, curling
and waving about his shoulders. In the mid
die of his head is seam or partition Of long
hair, after the manner of the Nazarites.
His forehead is plain and delicate his face
without spot or wrinkle, beauti6ed with
comely red his nose and mouth are exactly
formed his beard is: the color of his hair,
and thick, not of any great height, but forked.
In reproving he is terrible, in admonishing,
courteous in speaking he is very modest
and wise in proportion of body, well.shaped.
None have seen him laugh, but many have
seen him weep A man, for his surprising
beauty, excelling the children of men.
