The sea is not only the emblem Of change
1t Is itself the cause, directly or indirectly
of nearly all the physical changes that tax,
place in the world Ascend the mountaie
summit, and there, amid the crags where
the eagle builds her eyrie, and the heather
grows in the blue immeasurable silence in
heaven, you tread the shores of a former
sea, whose shells and corals embedded in
the rocks are still as perfect and beautiful
as when the last retiring wave rippled over
them.


Descend into the stony chambers of the
earth, and there in the darkness of the
quarry you will see the petrifed skeletons of
fish that once swan in the waters, and the
sands that formed the shores of unknown
seas, and the undulating ripple marks left
behind by the ebb and flow of long forgot
ten tides. We cannot name a single spot
where the sea has not some time or other
BEEN


Every rock that now constitutes the firm
foundation of the earth was once dissolved
in its waters, lay as mud at its bottom, or
as sand and gravel along its shore. The
materials of our house were once deposited
in its depths, and are built upon the floor
of an ancient ocean. What are now dry
continents were once ocean beds: and what
are now sea beds VIII be future continents.


Every where the sea is still at work-en-
croaching upon the eshore-undermining the
boldest cliffs on the coasts by its own direct
agency. And where it cannot reach itself,
it sends Its emissaries to the very heart of
deserts, and the very SUBMITS of mountain
ranges, and the very innermost recesses of
eontinents-there to produce constant dilap-
idation and change. It's own waters are CON
fned.by the shore line; but no voice has ev-
er said to its feet footed winds aud its view
less vapors, Hitherto shall ye come and no
further. They rise from their ocean bed,
these messengers of the sea, and pursue
their fight along the sky until some lofty
peak far in the interior arrests them; and
they discharge their watery burden into its
bosom, forming the sources of streams, and
rivers, and glaciers that carry on the work
of change where the roar of the sea itself is
never heard.-Mcllillaa IN Family Treasat-

The exercise of the mind gives to its owner
blessings he otherwise would not enjoy


The evils of the mind, like diseases of the
body, may be cured by its exercise Let
the man who is melancholy naturally, or
through physical imperfection, apply him
self to the contemplation of some of the
numerous subjects in nature or art, and he
will find probably little time for thoughts
of a distressing character. Like the body, the
mind will expand, become healthier, more
elastic, agile, stronger and buoyant by exer-
cise Let rs now go from mind to matter,
and see what exercise does for that How
many carefully bred lady has envied the
appearance of one of her own sex laboring
in the fields, or attending to the duties found
in the poor mans home The well develop
ed bust, the firm tread, the bright eye, the
ruddy cheek and the happy smile, have all
been obtained by exercise. While the fine
lady has been reclining upon her couch,
enervating her body, the less luxurious wo-
man, from circumstances, has been compell-
ed to be up and stirring. She has breasted
the morning breeze, and used every muscle
in the duties she has been performing, be-
fore the other commenced her day of trihing
Without exercise the bodily powers decay;
with it, this is not only prevented, but the
powers are greatly increased. Let, then,
the lady who values her health and her
beauty labor hard for them. Let her bear
in remembrance that to be beautiful she
must be healthy, and to be healthy she must
exercise both mind AMI body. A proper
amount of exertion will bring the bloom
upon the cheek. To the skin, that was dry
and shriveled, it viii give softness and rich
ness; the eye that was lustreless will be
frightened, and lips that were parched and
cracked viii be ruby like by its influence.

Few people give themselves the trouble
to understand the rules ofcolor. They con-
slider them as belonging to an abStruse sci
ence. The principles, which are supposed
to be too much wrapped in mystery to be
worth the trouble of acquiring by any but
professional persons, are those comprehen-
ded in the laws of contrast of color and
contrast of tone


First, as regards contrast of color There
are three primary colors-red blue and yal-
low. From these every other color is form
ed, and each has its perfect harmony in its
complementary color The complementary
of each simple color is formed by the union
Of the other two land is therefore called the
secondary that is, green being the MKT
ure OF blue and yellow is complementary to
red violet being formed of red and blue, is
complementary to yellew; and orange,
compound of red and yellow, to blue.


Each of these colors, when placed near
its complementary, intensifies its effect
Green causes red to appear redder, blue
adds brighter tint TO orange, and yellow
enhances the color of violet In other
words, every color looks its purest and best
when it is beside its complementary.


BY means of this simple law of contrast,
therefore, we have the power of imparting
any tint that we choose to the complexion,
and Of rendering our costume agreeable to
the eye by the harmony produced by prop
erly contrasted colors and we may learn to
avoid increasing the undesirable tints of a
sallow complexion by the juxtaposition of
blue or violet, or rendering forid complex
ion still more high-colored by contrasting it
with green. On the other hand, ladies with
golden hair and clear compilations will see
that they should wear blue in preference to
any other color, harmonizing agreeably, as
it does, with the former, without exercising
any i'll effect on the latter while those up
ON whom nature has bestowed dark hair
and a rosy complexion should consider green
as their especial color


Very dark people may wear extremely
light brown, gray or slate color with i'm
punity, but those who have light complex
ions and light brown hair should only ven
ture upon pure white and the light tones of
the three primaries, bearing in mind that,
wherever there is agreeable contrast there
is agreeable harmony Boudor

Character is the main thing, and to be the
best man is better than to have the name of
it. There are many manufactured reputa
ti0ns. We cannot doubt that, when we ex
anime the list Of famous men. We wonder
what has made them famous, when we re-
feet how weak and poor their manhood is.
How many we find who seem to be constant
ly itching for notoriety, who seem to think
that the world will forget them, unless they
make themselves prominent upon every op-
portunity, and are constantly on the alert to
find a place in which they can introduce
their hux of words that attention may be
drawn to them. Tt is not we'll for any young
man to look out upon life as only the stage
on which he is to play his part, and catch
the applause of his fellows 1t is his duty
to be true and manly wherever he may be,
let applause come or not, as it will. The
world is not so near-sighted or forgetful as it
seems.


1t has keen eye and tenacious memory
for every thing that is spoken, and it will
never let die what is worthy to live. 1t may
do unjustly at first, but it does not neglect
to have justice done at the last. Let no one
think that his life is unappreciated, or COM
plain that he is neglected. No man will ever
be neglected who gives his fellow-men any
thing worth taking care of, and the very
humblest virtue will be preserved as bless
ing. 1t is we'll sometimes, that the world
may seem to forget, and it may be that a
man is so just and true as to be above the
worlds commendation. When Cato the
censor, lived, many ignoble men had statues
erected to their memory. To those who
expressed their wonder to the virtuous old
Roman that he had none, he said, "He
would much rather that it should be asked
why he had not statue than why he had
one. Yet it must be remembered that a
man must be Cato to say that with becom.

That the men and women who wear

only proof of their gre eater peril, for it
shows that the system is so corrupted

without that natural. health resistance
which produces sores or both. On the

Yet on that roses humble bed
The sweetest dews of night are shed,
As ii it wept such waste TO see
But none shall weep = tear for me
Nv life is like the autumn leaf,


That trembles in the moons pale ray;
Its bold is trail-its date is brief


Restless and soon to pass away:
Bat ere that leaf shall fall OF fade,
The parent tree shall mourn its shade
The winds bewail the ieatess tree;
But none shall breathe a sigh for me!
Nv life is like the print that feet


Have left on Zaras desert strand;
Soon AS the rising tide shall beat,


All trace will vanish from the sand:
Yet as if grieving to effice
All vestige of tue human race,
On that lone shore LOUD mourns the sea
But none, alas shall mourn tor me.
