PICTURE OF HUMAN LIFE.-We commend the
following beautiful allegory by Addison. 1t
was first published in the year I'LL, and it
truthfully represents the actual facts Of o ia
bic of mortality:


The bridge thou seest," said he, is human
life consider it attentvely." Upon a more
leisurely survey of it, found that it consisted
ofthreescore and ten arches with several broken
arches, which added to those that were entire,
made up the number about one hundred. As
I was counting the arches, the genins told me
that this bridge consisted at first of thousand
arches, but that great flood swept away the
rest, and left the bridge in the ruinous eondi-
ton l now beheld it.


"But tell me, further" said he, "what thou
discoverest on it I? Il see multitudes Of people
passing over it, said l, 'and black cloud
hanging on each end of it,"


As looked more attentively, saw several
of the passengers dropping through the bridge
into the great tide that flowed underneath it
and, upon further examination, trap doors that
lay concealed in the bridge, which the passen
gers no sooner trod upon but fell through them
into the tide and Immediately disappeared.


These hideous pitfalls were set very thick al
the entrance of the bridge, so that throngs O.
people no sooner break through the cloud bu
many of them fall into them. They age thinnel
toward the middle, but multiplied and lait
closer together toward the end of the arche
that were entire. There were indeed some per
sons, but their number was small, that con
tinued kind of hobbling march on the broker
arches, but fell through one after another

SIDoN AND TYRE-No description can do JUS
tce to the squalor and filth OF Sidon on wet
day. All of the streets are more than half arch
ed over, very dark, and so narrow that three la
den asses cannot pass, with gutter a foot deep
running down the centre. Where not arched, a
rotten screen of sticks, over laid here and there
with pieces of ragged mating and wattles, adds
to the deplorable condition Of the place. Copper
Smiths seemed the most thriving as well as the
noisiest of the artizans while like every one else
they sit in their open shops hammering away on
the ground. We turned up blind entry and
then mounted fight of steps in the corner, at
the top of which door led to a courtyard, clean
and tidy.


The port when compared with the harbors of
classic Greece, must have been spacious one,
and was perhaps, enlarged by an artificial mode,
of which, though not noticed oy any writer we
thought we could descry the traces. In many
places the old reef has been quarried out, till the
sea makes a clean breach into the habor, but this
has probably been the work of later times The
Jagged fretted rocks and the sea is full OF carved
huge stones still visible where the stanchions OF
gates had been fitted, and strewn with masses of
undecipherable masonry. We were struck by
the Cyclopean character of the work-immense
stones let in to form the edge of the ancient quays
by the side of which, among and on those an
cient rocks, must have been the warehouses OF
Sidon.


The masses of broken columns on all sides form
breastwork against the action of the sea below
but these remains are so perforated and honey
combed by the water and by the boring shells
(pholades) that it is impossible to make out their
| style. Time, man, and, above ALL the incessant
dashing of the waves, have SO many honey y-comb-
| ed rocks, stoneworks and columns alike, that no
clear plan of the style Of the building can be as
certained Such is the harbor of Sdon, the cra-
die of the worlds commerce, the mother ofTyre.
Sidon, in the rain, is wretched enough, and
what is that TO Tyre in the dry The filth and
squalor of the little city surpasses even that OF

A CAT IN A Very AWKWARD FIx.--ln New
York, some days ago, while workmen were
constructing the iron front of u new building
in Walker street, a cat by some means crawled
into the hollow part of the iron girder which
forms the base of the front. Tho workmen
Tc5Fistfc cat, but paid no attention to its cries,
and the work proceeded, thus entombing the
cat The fact was reported to the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, by whom
the builders were ordered to release the cat,
even if it became necessary to take down tho
entire front TO accomplish it. The front had
been erected as far as the fourth story by this
time, and the matter began TO wear a serious
as we'll as expensive aspect. There was no
alternative but to comply with the order, and
men were set to work to remove tho animal.
1t was found necessary to remove small part
Of tho side wall, into which tho girders were
inserted, and then chisels and sledge-hammers
were brought into requsition, and a hole made
larre enough for the cat to crawl through.

WONDERFUL CLoCK.--A citizen of Detroit has
just completed clock which is described by the
Free Press


1t is enclosed On case eight feet high, similar
10 the od-fashioned eight day clocks. Below the
centre of the face is an ordinary dial, with an
attachment for striking the quarter hours; at the
left Of this dial, set pivot axis, is terres
trial globe about eight inches in diameter, which
performs diurnal revolutions, and on which are
represented the FIVE grand divisions of the earth.
On the opposite side of the dial is self regula-
ting calendar, calculated to run ten years with
out winding, and pointing to the year, month
and day OF the week. Immediately above the
dial is section of a tower, resting on two pilas-
ters with window or opening, at which appears,
each time the clock strikes the hour, one Of the
apostles Still above this tower is sort of We
randa, at each end Of which sits an angel with
outspread wings, and in the centre Death pre-
sides at small bell on which he strikes the hour
of the day with hammer. When the hands
point to twelve O'clock the angel at one end of
the Yeranda "rolls the stone away" and the door
flies open, from which emcrges the Saviour, who
takes position, and one by one the apostles
follow and take their place in close proximity to
their beloved Master, while death rings out the
last stroke just as tho Virgin Mary appears at the
window Of the Tower beneath.

and each day new class Of meR is reached by the

Never play at any game Of chance.


Drink no kind of intoxicating liquors.

any.


Never borrow if you can possibly
help it.


Do not marry until you are able to
support wife.


Keep yourself innocent, if you would
be happy.


When you speak to a person, look
him in the face.


Make no haste to be rich, if you
would prosper.


Ever live misfortune excepted with
in your income.


Save when you are young, to spend
when you are old.


Avoid temptation, through fear you
may not withstand it.


Never run into debt unless you see q
way to get out again.


Small aud steady gains give compe-
teucy, with n tranquil mind.


Good company and good conversation
are the sinews OF virtue.


Your character cannot be essentially
injured except by your own acts.


Ii any one speaks evil of you, let
your life be SO that none will believe
