If we rejoice at the advent of a now life; if we welcome thecomingof a new pilgrim tor the uncertainty of this world's way, why should there be so much gloom when all the uncertainties are past, and life at iU waning wears the glory of a complete task ?

PHILADELPHIA Mar. 7, 1861 541yl May 17,186G.—ly It is the duty of a thing completed; and as men come together when some great work ia achieved, and see in ifs concluding nothing bat gladness, so ought we to feel when the setting son flings back its beams upon a life that has answered well its purposes. When the baddrops are blighted, and there goes all hope of the harvest,one may well be sad; but when tbe ripened year sicks amid tho garniture of autumn flowers and leaves, why should wo regret or murmur? And so a life that it ready and waiting to hear the " well-done" of God, whose latest virtues are its noblest, should be given back to God in uncomplaining reverence, we rejoicing that earth is capable of so much gladness, and is permitted such virtue.

There was once a curtain King, who, like many Eastern Kings, was very foad of hearing stories told. To this amusement he gave up all his time, but yet he was never satisfied. The exertions of his courtiers were all in vain.

Some of them lasted a week, some a month, and some six months. Poor fellows, they all spun them out as long a* they possibly could, but all in vain. Sooner or later they all came to an end, and one after another, the unlucky story tellers had their heads chopped off. At last came a man who said that he had a story that would last forever, if his majesty would be pleased to give him a trial. He warned him of his danger; they told him how many others had tried and lost their heads, but he said be was not afraid ; and so be was brought before the king. He was a man of a very composed and deliberate way of speaking, and, after malting all necessary stipulations for his eating, drinking and sleeping, he thus began : We have established a Branch House in Baltimore.

MONIES & PUG HE, JulylS, 1865 A masquerade would not be much of an affair if Here were not some ludicrous scenes attached to it or connected with it. Last evening that of the Musical Society, was no exception to the general rule, ahd any number of funny incidents transpired. It is so, just so, that the destiny of nine men out of ten accomplishes itself, slipping away from them, aimless, till it is too late.— And we are asked, with all tlTc solemn thoughts which crowd around an approaching eternity, what has been our life and what do we intend it shall be? Yesterday, last week, last year— they are gone. Yesterday, for example, was such a day as never was before, and never can be again. Out of darkness and eternity it was born, a new, fresh day; into darkness and eternity it stink again forever. It had a voice calling to us, of its own. Its own work, its own duties, what were wo doing yesterday ? Idling, whiling away the time in idleness and luxurious literature—not as life's relaxation but as life's business? thrilling our heart with the excitement of life ? continuing now to spend the day most pleasantly? Was that our duty?— Sleep, brethren ; all that is but sleep. And dow let us remember this, there is a day coming when that sleep will be rudely broken with a shock ; there is n day in our future lives when our time will be CQunted, not by years, nor by months, nor yet by hours, bat Uv minutes, the day when unmistakable symptoms shall announce that the messengers of death have come to us.

No person failed to notice a conspicuous costume present, a gentleman dressed as a Spanish cavalier—a very neat and tasty dress, set off upon a well-built and athletic frame. The gentleman, whom we shall call V. paid particular indeed most devoted attention to a pink domino, enshrouding a sylph-like form, acting as her escort at all times, and paying no attention, worth noticing, to an.y body else. In promennadingor in resting they were in earnest conversation, and the ladies, who could not fail to noUcc .them, thought he must be a duck of a fellow to pay so much attention, while the gentlemen thought she must be a divine little angel to listen so devotedly to all his soft things. Perhaps both of them were just what they had the credit of being. Warranted to suit the most fastidious. IIYE AND BOSTON BROWN BREAD. Oh, king, there was once a l*ing who was a great tyrant; and desiring to increase his riches, be seized upon the corn in his kingdom, and put it into an immense granary, which was built on purpose, as high as a mountain. This he did for several years until the granary was quite full to the top. He then stopped the doors and windows on all sides. But the bricklayers bad, by accident, left a very small hole near the top of the granary, and there came a flight of locusts and tried to get at the corn, but the hole was so small that only one locust could pass through at a time. So one locust went in and carried off one grain of corn, and then another locust went in and carried off another grain of corn, and then another locust went in and carried off another graimrf corn, and then another locust went in and carried off another grain of Fohti se Telmxq.—One of our exchanges is responsible for the following story, relative to this popular and pernicious vice: Main Street, Opposite Odd Fellows' Hall, PITTSTON, PA, families srmRD daily and p&oxptly LIVERY!

The cavalier proposed some time since to go to the ball but his wifo insisted that her health was not very good, and as there would be something of a crowd present she would not go—to her masquerades were very tedious affairs at best. That V. was delighted with the determination there is no doubt. He did not say so,however, but the day hi swife decided not to go he met in company a young and pretty widow, and in the heat of the excitement he aslted her to him to the masquerade. The widow was possessed of a bosom full of fun, and she consented to go. V. fitted her out with a costume and a pink domino, and as everybody saw, who noticed it, very pretty and expensive. Now, in concluding to go, she had some object in view, evidently, for yesterday, so runs the story, she saw V. go away from home, when she sought the presence of his wife and told her the whole story, and in conclusion she said : He had gone on thus from morning till night (except when he was engaged at his meals) for about a month, when the king began to be rather tired with his locust, and interupted his story with: EXJRHCTING TEETH WITHOUT PAtN, which he is" doing suficessfully every day, by the use of gAMUEL J.

They sauntered about until tired. They took refreshments and occasionally a glass of wine. They m&de no attempts to peep beneath each others masques,for it was evident they knew each other well. At all times the cavalier seemed whispering the softest things to the domino, and a close observer might have seen that occasionally the words were very soft, for they made the fair domino start and tremble just a little, but she seemed to have good control of herself, but there is no doubt that could her face have been seen, there would have been traces of blushes.

Let us follow them to the house of the widow, where they drove in haste, the cnvalicr very happy, very talkative, and almost beside himself with joy—the domino very quiet and very reserved. They were shown into the drawing room where the domino throws herself upon a lounge. The cavalier steps forward to turn up the gas a little, but a pleasant voice says, " I will do it for you, Mr. V.," and the room is ablaze with the light. The voice was that of the young widow, and the blaze of light showed the lawyer leaning upon a chair, perfectly aghast with astonishment, looking from the widow to the domino, yet unable to utter a,word.

When the baddrops are blighted, and there goes all hope of the harvest,one may well be sad; but when tbe ripened year sicks amid tho garniture of autumn flowers and leaves, why should wo regret or murmur? And so a life that it ready and waiting to hear the " well-done" of God, whose latest virtues are its noblest, should be given back to God in uncomplaining reverence, we rejoicing that earth is capable of so much gladness, and is permitted such virtue.

It is so, just so, that the destiny of nine men out of ten accomplishes itself, slipping away from them, aimless, till it is too late.— And we are asked, with all tlTc solemn thoughts which crowd around an approaching eternity, what has been our life and what do we intend it shall be? Yesterday, last week, last year— they are gone. Yesterday, for example, was such a day as never was before, and never can be again. Out of darkness and eternity it was born, a new, fresh day; into darkness and eternity it stink again forever. It had a voice calling to us, of its own. Its own work, its own duties, what were wo doing yesterday ? Idling, whiling away the time in idleness and luxurious literature—not as life's relaxation but as life's business? thrilling our heart with the excitement of life ? continuing now to spend the day most pleasantly?

No person failed to notice a conspicuous costume present, a gentleman dressed as a Spanish cavalier—a very neat and tasty dress, set off upon a well-built and athletic frame. The gentleman, whom we shall call V. paid particular indeed most devoted attention to a pink domino, enshrouding a sylph-like form, acting as her escort at all times, and paying no attention, worth noticing, to an.y body else. In promennadingor in resting they were in earnest conversation, and the ladies, who could not fail to noUcc .them, thought he must be a duck of a fellow to pay so much attention, while the gentlemen thought she must be a divine little angel to listen so devotedly to all his soft things. Perhaps both of them were just what they had the credit of being. Warranted to suit the most fastidious. IIYE AND BOSTON BROWN BREAD. Oh, king, there was once a l*ing who was a great tyrant; and desiring to increase his riches, be seized upon the corn in his kingdom, and put it into an immense granary, which was built on purpose, as high as a mountain. This he did for several years until the granary was quite full to the top. He then stopped the doors and windows on all sides. But the bricklayers bad, by accident, left a very small hole near the top of the granary, and there came a flight of locusts and tried to get at the corn, but the hole was so small that only one locust could pass through at a time. So one locust went in and carried off one grain of corn, and then another locust went in and carried off another grain of corn, and then another locust went in and carried off another graimrf corn, and then another locust went in and carried off another grain of Fohti se Telmxq.—One of our exchanges is responsible for the following story, relative to this popular and pernicious vice: Main Street, Opposite Odd Fellows' Hall, PITTSTON, PA, families srmRD daily and p&oxptly LIVERY!

The cavalier proposed some time since to go to the ball but his wifo insisted that her health was not very good, and as there would be something of a crowd present she would not go—to her masquerades were very tedious affairs at best. That V. was delighted with the determination there is no doubt. He did not say so,however, but the day hi swife decided not to go he met in company a young and pretty widow, and in the heat of the excitement he aslted her to him to the masquerade. The widow was possessed of a bosom full of fun, and she consented to go. V. fitted her out with a costume and a pink domino, and as everybody saw, who noticed it, very pretty and expensive. Now, in concluding to go, she had some object in view, evidently, for yesterday, so runs the story, she saw V. go away from home, when she sought the presence of his wife and told her the whole story, and in conclusion she said : He had gone on thus from morning till night (except when he was engaged at his meals) for about a month, when the king began to be rather tired with his locust, and interupted his story with: EXJRHCTING TEETH WITHOUT PAtN, which he is" doing suficessfully every day, by the use of gAMUEL J.

They sauntered about until tired. They took refreshments and occasionally a glass of wine. They m&de no attempts to peep beneath each others masques,for it was evident they knew each other well. At all times the cavalier seemed whispering the softest things to the domino, and a close observer might have seen that occasionally the words were very soft, for they made the fair domino start and tremble just a little, but she seemed to have good control of herself, but there is no doubt that could her face have been seen, there would have been traces of blushes.

When the masques were removed at 12 o'clock, anxious ones were looking to see who the couple were, but they were gone, and all were disappointed. Let us follow them to the house of the widow, where they drove in haste, the cnvalicr very happy, very talkative, and almost beside himself with joy—the domino very quiet and very reserved. They were shown into the drawing room where the domino throws herself upon a lounge. The cavalier steps forward to turn up the gas a little, but a pleasant voice says, " I will do it for you, Mr. V.," and the room is ablaze with the light. The voice was that of the young widow, and the blaze of light showed the lawyer leaning upon a chair, perfectly aghast with astonishment, looking from the widow to the domino, yet unable to utter a,word.

The heavens will be as bright over our grave as they are now around our path ; the world will have the same attraction for offspring yet unborn that she,once had for ourselves, and that she has now for our children.

Days will continue to move on, and laughter and song will bo heard in the room in which you died; and the eyes that mourned for us will be dried and glisten with joy ; and even our children will cease to think of us, and will not remember to lisp our name.
