He replied, "Only waiting." Only waiting till tlie sbodowii Are a little longer grown, Only waiting UU the glimmer Of tho day's la£t beam Is flown; Till the night of earth is faded From the heart, onco full of day ; Till tho stars of heaven are breaking Through the twilight soft and grey. Only waiting till tho reapers Have the last aheaf gathered home. For the summer timo is faded, And the autumn winds have come. Quickly, reapers! gather quickly Tha lai^t ripe hours of my henr^. For the bloom of life Is withered. And I haeten to depart Only waiting till Uio angola Open wide Ihe myntic gate, At whose feet I long have lingered. Wciry, poor, and desolate. Even now 1 hear the footstep.'', And their voices far away ; If they call me I am waiting, Only waiting to obey. Only w.iiling till the pbadows Are o liiUe longer grown, Only walling till the glimmer Of tbe day's Jn.-;! beam is flown. Then from out tho gather'd darknes.=. Holy, deathless etars shall rlFC, Hy wboi-'c light my fOul shall gladly Tread iLs pathway to the skies. JTJST CHAEGE IT A SKETCH FOR~NEW UEGINNERS, what dill Ibis peuch preserve *'Charles, cost?" "I'm 8uro I do'nt koow, HauuaU." "But jou bought it this morning, didn't you?" "I know 1 did, but I ilidn't ask the price of it" "Did you not pay for itV" "No." "Why not?" "Ob, because 1 dou't Btop lo make change. Ibave opened an account with Wr, Warilroii, aud shall ben-nft-T settle once in three mouths.' This conversation was going on at a tea- table, betweeu Charles Matthews and hiswifo. Matthews was a young mechanic, who had just commenced house-keeping, and as be was making excellent wages, be could afford: to live pretty well. After he bad made known his determination to bis wife, she remained aome time in milent thought. "Charles," at length she said, in a very mild, persuasive tone, "I think it would be better to pay for things aa you take them.—¦ You kuow you receive your pay for labor every Saturday night, and you could pay as you go, very easily." "I know I could," returned Mr, Matthews, with the air of a man who had unanswerable arguments at his command, '-but then it would not be near so handy. You see if I pay my store bill but once a quarter, I shall eavo all the trouble of making change; aud shall not only 8;ive some time, but also avoid mistakes," "Mifftakes !" repeated Hannah. "How can mistakes occur when you pay for things as you get themy" "I will tell you. Sometimes it may uot be convenient to pay for a thing when I get it—I may forget my money, or I may only take it on trial—theu I pay for part and not for all, and some things may got charged which 1 pay for. No, Hannah, a settlement ouce a quarter will be the best and most convenient all around. I am satisfied of it," "Well, pcrhapa it rofty,"Baid tho wife, witi an earnest tone and look, yet with a amile; "but 1 cannot think eo." ''But wiiy ii-itT' "Why on all accounts. In the first place, you will buy more than you would if you paid cash. Now, you net'du't shake your head, for I know it. There are so mauy Uttle luiuries, little extras, wbich we do not need, but which you will yet be apt to buy, if you do not have to pay cash down. I know something about this credit business, and it is uot a fair thing. In the second place, if you pay cash for every¬ thing, you will get your gooda cheaper. A trader will sell cheaper when be can have the money in his band, than when he has to carry out the amount on his ledger." j "Bat let me tell you, Hannah, that Mr. Waldron will not cheat. He is not the man to take ndvanlnge that way." | "You misunderatood me, Charles. Do you not know that all traders «an afford to sell cheaper for casli than for credit ? Mr. Wald¬ ron, for a fivo dollar bill, will let you have more sugar than he would for the same amount en¬ tered at different timos on his ledger. He can afford to do so. Traders like to secure caih customers. I think you will find it to your ad- •vantage to try the cash system. I^ow, I do not believe you would have bought this peach preserve if you had to pay the cash for it." "But I bought that just to please you, Han¬ nah, and I thought you would accept it grate¬ fully," returned the young husband, in a tone which showed that his feelings were touched, "I know you did," said the wife, laying her hand affectionately upon his shoulder, "and I was grateful, for I know you would do any¬ thing to please me; but for the sake of helping you, I would forgo all tUcie things. Perhaps" —aud the wife spoke very low—"you might be able to buy a little cottage of your own one of these day For several days Charles sent only such things up from the store as were actually needed. At length, as he went into the store 000 morning on his way to work, ho saw aome splendid looking pickles iu fancy jars. H« had ordered the arlioles he needed, and waa about to leave, when Jlr. Waldron spoke: "Mr. Mat¬ thews, don't you want ajar of those pickles ? 1 carried ajar home to my wife, last evening, and she thinks them superior to anything she ever saw before," Now Charles knnw that his wife had plenty of plain pickled cucumbers—some that her mother bad put down for her—but Mrs. Wald¬ ron has had some of fhoee fancy ones, and why shouldn't Hannah? "Shall I send you up ajar?" "How much are they?" "Only a dollar." "Yes, you may send up one, and just charge it, if you please." j "0, certainly; anything you want you may ! order at any time, and you may be assured we sball be happy to accommodate you." Now this was flattering to young Matthew's feelings, to think that the trader had so much confidence in him, and he went away with an exceeding good opinion of himself and his credit, and o'f the store-keeper iu particular. "Only a dollar!" Yes, only a dollar on the trader's books—that is nothing. But a dollar right out of one's pocket, that Ih different Charles Mattliews would not have bought those pickles, if the cash hod been required for them, "Ah, Matthews, look here; I've got some thing to show you." This was said by the trader to the young man, on the very next morning after tbe purchase of the pickles. And so Mr. Waldron led our hero out to the back part of the store, and opened a box. "There, Matthews, nint these nice oranges?" "They are nice," replied Charles. And so they really were. "I know your wife would like some of theae, I carried some in to my wife, and sho wanted me to save her four or five dozen." "These are nice. How do they come?" "Lot's see; I can send yon up three dozen for a dollar; I get those very cheap. You know they are retailing at five' and six cents apiece." "Yes. Well, you may send me up three dozen. Just charge them, if you pleaie." "Certainly; anything else, this morningT" "I belicTQ not," And BO Mattbewi went on. This morning it was a dollar—to-morrow, perhapi, fifty centa. It did not seem very much. The young man kept juit OS much money in hia pocket as though he hadn't bought them. "Only a dol¬ lar," he would say to himself; "that is not much out of twilve dollars a week." And so it might not be; but the trouble was (bat tbe next dollar was *'only a dollar." Ho forgot to add this dollar with the former dollar and call it two dollars, aud with tho uPit call it three, and so on. One evening Charles came homo with a gold chain attached to his watch. "Where did you get that?" asked his wife. ".A,b,." returned the husband, with an im¬ pressive shake of tho head, "I made a bargain in this chain. Now guess what I paid for it." "I'm sure I can't guess." •'0, but try-guess something." ' Well, perhaps ten dollars." "Ten doUiirs!" echoed Charles, with a sort of disappointed look. "Why, what are you thinking of? Jack Cummings bought this chain two months ago, and paid twenty dollars for it; why, lift it, and see how heavy it is.— Eighteen carats fine. Jsck was bard up for money, and let me have it for twelve dollars." "It is cheap, to be sure,"returned nannah, but yet not with so muoh pleasurable surprise as her husband had anticipated. "But," she added, "you will feel the loss of the money." "Poh ! I have money enough. You know I have spent but very little, lately. I have hecu pretty caving." "But you forget our things, Charles. The money which yen havo in your hands is not yours," •'Not mine!" "No; it belongs to the store-keeper, and to tbe butcher, and to our landlord. You know they must be paid." "Don't you fret about them, I know it don't cost meanywhere uear twelve dollars a week to live, fur I havo made ao estimate. There is Wilkius, who works beside me in the shop. He has four children, and only gets the same wages that I do, and yet be lays up some three or four dollars a week, besides paying bis rent." 'Yes,' said Hannah, • I know he does. I was in to see his wife, the other day, and she was telling mc bow wiill they wore getting along. Mr. Wilkins takes his basket every Saturday night, aud goes over to the market, and buys his week's quantity, of meat and vegetables, and trades for cash, so that he gets everything at the best advantage. So he does at the store. He lays in a good quantity of all thoso articles wbich will keep, and buys them as cheap as be can. Butter, eggs, chccBu, apples, and such, he buys when the market is full, and when they are cheap, and he always buys enough to last his family over the season of scarcity, when such things are high. His butter, for instance, he bought for eighteen centa a pound—a large firkin of it— and it is much sweeter than that for for which you \.&y twenty-eight cents.' 'Twenty-eight cents!" repeated the young man, in aurprige. ' Yes. I asked Mr. Waldron's man, who brought it up, and he aaid it had risen to twenty-eight cents Mr. Wilkin's got fifty dozen eggs, some time ago, for twelve cents a dozen, and his wife packed them down, and they kept well. You will havo to pay Mr. Waldron thirty-three for those you sent up yesterday.' Charles Alatthews was somewhat astonished at this view of the case, but it could not be I helped now; and the subject w.ag dropped.— Hia gold chain had lost its charm. It di'l not look BO well even in his own eyes, as bad the simple black cord whicli be had worn before. At length tho end of the quarter came around. The Srst bill paid iras the rent, which amounted to thirty-one dollars The next was the butcher's bill, which came to thirty-six dollars. Charles was astonished to see how the meat bill footed up. But when he saw how many steaks he had at seventeen cents per pound, tho cause of wonder was at an end. Next he paid the baker's bill, which was thirteen dollars. When he came home in the evening, he had paid all his bills, except tho grocery bill.' •Mr. Waldron sent in his bill to-day,' saJd his wife, after supper. 'Ah, did he ? Let me see it.' Hannah brought it, and Charles looked at it. He was astonished at its length, and when he came to look at the bottom of the column, bis face turned a shade paler. It footed up jost sixty-five dollars—an average of fivo dol¬ lars per week. «This iB impoBsiblfl!' he uttered, as he gazed upon it. But he examined the different arti¬ cles, and he could remember when he ordered them. Those things which cost only a dollar, looked very innocent when viewed alone, but in the aggregate they had a different appear¬ ance. 'How much shall you lay up this quarter, Charles?' kindly asked the wife, ai she came aud lean-jd over her husband's shoulder, and parting the hair on his forehead, smoothed it back.' ' How much shall I lay up V be repeated.— 'Not much. Get the slate, and let ua reckon up,' Charles waa resolved to be frank abou*i the matter, and let his wife know all. ThCilatewas brought. First Hanuah put down one hundred and fifty-six dollars, as the quarter's wages. Then came the rent, and tho butcher, and the baker. 'Now you may put down twelve dollars for the chain—and twelve dollars for sundries— that means cigars, tobacco, nuts, beer, soda, theatre tickets and such things. Now take all that from my quarter's wages, and see how muoh remains.' Hannah performed the sum, and gave fifty- two dollars as the result. •Fifty-two dollars,' uttered Charles, sinking bauk into his ohair, 'and we have not bought one article of clothing or furniture. Fifty^ two dollars with which to pay sixty-five.— I There is thirteen dollars short this quarter, : and I have to savd thirty at least.* •Well, it is no use to mourn over it,' said the wife, in a cheerful tone, for she saw tbat the husband felt badly. 'Let's commence again; there's nothing like trying, you know.* For some moments Charles remained silent. He gazed first upon the bill he had in hia hand, then upon the figures on the slate, and then upon the floor. At last he spoke; there was a peculiar light in his eyei, and a flush upon his countenance. • Hannah, I see where the trouble is, and I most freely admit that I have beeu wrong; if I had paid for everything as I bought it, I ahouid not have been where I am now in pecuniary matters. You are right—I see it all now—I have not estimated the value of money as I ought. Let me once get up again to where I began, and will I do differently. I mus step down to the store this evening, and pay Mr. Waldron what I have, and tho rest I will pay bim when I am able.' •That matter can be easily settled,' saidHan- nah,.with a bright, happy look, • I have more than enough to make up the amount of that bill. It is money we had when we were mar¬ ried. Wait a moment." Charles protested most earnestly against tak¬ ing his wife's money, but she would listen to no argument on that subject. So he went down, and paid the grocery bill, and on his way home he sold his gold chain for fourteen dollars. He felt happier when he got the old black cord once more about his neck, and the money now to commence the quarter with On the next Monday morning, the young man went into the meat store to send home a piece of beef for dinner. •How much will you have?' asked the butcher. * 0, three or four'— Charles got thus far, and then he stopped.— He had always been in the habit of ordering an indefinate quantity, and leaving the butcher to cut it off at the highest figure, and charge the highest prices; ond then he remembered how muoh was usually wasted. (Let mo have two pounds,' he said. He stopped and saw it weighed, and then paid for his two pounds of beef had made enough, and there waa none to waste. The next morning he went lo the store. Mr. Waldron hod some j nice figs juBt come iu, which ho showed. For : a moment, Charles hesitated, but when he re- i membered that he had to pay for all he bought, he concluded not to take tbem. He foiind that things were not quite so enticing when it re¬ quired cash to get them, as when the payment could be postponed. He paid for what he bought, and went his way» and thus things went an through the week. When it came Saturday night, he knew that all the money in hi3*pooket was his own, alter deducting the rent. That evening he went over to the mar¬ ket with Wilkins, and bought as much meat and vegetables as ho thought would last him through the week. He found that he inade a saving of at least 20 per cent, by this" opera¬ tion, and when opportunity offered, he made tbo samo aaviog in other m.atters. At the end of that quarter Charles Matthews did not have to get any slate. He paid his house rent, and then ho found he had thirty- five dollars left in his pocket. Thia was all his—he did not owe a penny of it, •Ah, Hannah,' ho said, as be held the money in his band, und looked at it, 'now I see how easy it is for a man to be wrong, and his wife right. This money all comes of paying as I go along. It is very etay and simple to say —• Just charge it'—and a man may easily bny things under such circumstances, but when the day of reckoning comes, these three simple words that sound innocent when spoken, are found to be costly things. I would not have believed it, had I not tried it. I could not have believed that a man would purchase so many more useless articles, simply because he could have tbem charged. But I see it now, and if I refused to follow your advice at first, I have gained experience enough to lead me to follow it the more implicitly now.' Charles Matthews never again allowed him¬ self to be led away by the credit system, but he followed the cash rule punctually, and tbe coneequenoe has been that be cnnnot only now buy auy quantity of produce, wood, coal, &c., at cheap cash prices, but he has cut off the expense of house rent, for he owns a snug lit¬ tle cottage ia tbe suburbs, and it is nil paid for. rOR YOUNG MEN. HE DRINKS. How ominously that sentence falls ! How wc pause in the conversation and ejaculate, " it's a pity." How his mother hopes that be will not when he grows older, and his sisters persuade themselves that it is only a few wild oats he is aoning. And yet old men shake tbeir heads, and feel sad and look gloomy when they speak of it; for ^ho ever stopped and did not at some time again give way to temp¬ tation. It is dangerous to trifle with Pleasure. Each step that she leads us away from the path of rectitude, leaves us leas desire to return.— Each time that she induces us to deviate, we must go a littlo further to obtain the Bame enjoyment. Even if with increased experience wc resolve to walk in ' the path of duty, we lollow it with more difficulty if we have once allowed ourselves to wander. Pleasure stands at a gate aver open, and she invites us to enter her g,irden8. She tells us that wo need not fear, for we can return when we choOae. She calls to the pilgrim on tbe duaty highway of life, and wayworn and weary as he is, she invites him to enter. She points him to men tbat are again upon the road; men who once whiled away some time in her dominions, but hava now resumed their journey. He does not know the self-reproach and the weakness they felt on leaving her bowers, nor the increased difficulty with which thoy tread the path of daily life. He wishes, and then turns, and then looks in. He -will enter for a little way. But he is soon bewil¬ dered with enjoyment. His souebs revel in the fragrance. He is on enchanted ground.— He is sure that he can return, and that he will return, after he has beeu a littlo further; yet with every step he feels less desire to do so.— Of what profit is it to him now, that the gate stands openf As he wanders along, the air becomes more exhilerating, and the fruits more highly flavored. The breeaes become warmer, the fragrance is more pungent, and the flowers more aromatic. His senses are intoxicated, and his desires become inflamed. The flowers that blossomed along his morning path, the, little ,modest flowers that opened their meek eyes, sparkling with dew, and smiled on him as be sot out upon his journey, are forgotten. The duties that he owes to himself, to his fellow- men, to big God, all are forgotten, and he goes restlessly forward to enjoy hotter breezes, mora stimulating fruits, and more narcotic ' odera. What avails to him uow, that the gate remains ever open ? But already these pleasures have begun to pall. Some strange influence is bunumbing his senses. He finds apples with ashes at the core. Hot winds are blistering bis flsh, but he feels no wound. Excess of pleasure is becom¬ ing pain. He has reached tbe marshes where the garden of PleasuiQ borders on the valley and shadow of death, and ho would fain take refuge in oblivion. He sits down under the shade of the Aconite, and binds his throbbing temples with wreaths of its dull foliage. The night of Despair is fast closing in upon him,— Darkness, like a blanket, shuts out the light of Heaven, and the trembling madness fires hia brain. Slimy serpents are in attendance on him. They glide around noiselessly, and lull him in drowsy folds. Worms nre incessantly twisting in the seams of hia clothing. Invisible fiends are gathering around him like ravens.— Thoy wait impatiently. ^ bears the rustling of their skinny pinions and he feels the air moved a little by them. Their eyes of fire are shining on bim from their viewless bodies, and the air is thick with muttering. Out from tho darkness comes the Toice of tho worm, claimiug him aa her brother, and the voice of corruption calling him "my son;" and wi'h a chill he curses God, and dies. " At the last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder." Young man, just commencing life, buoyant with hope, don't drink. You are freighted with a precious cargo. The hopes of your old par¬ ents, of your sisters, of your wite, of your children, aro all laid upon you. In you the aged live over again their younger days; through you only can the weaker ones attain a position in society, and from the level on which you place them must your children go into tbe great struggle of Hfo.

Aht Or A Yankee Paintek.—A person who Be always frank and true; spurn every sort kept an inn by the roadside, went to a painter, of affectation and disguise. Have the courage to who for a timo had set np his «aael not a hun¬ dred miles from Ontario, and inquired for what sum the painter would paint him a bear for a ^ sign-board. It was to be a real good one that would attract customers. " Fifteen dollars!" replied the painter. " That's too much !" said the innkeeper; "Tom LaTkiuB will do it for ten 1" Tho painter cogitating for a moment. He did not like that his rival ahould get a oom- mission in preference to himself, although it was only for a signboard. ''f Ie it to bs a wild or a ume bear ?" he in¬ quired. again ask- A Hdmorous Sketch.—The difference be¬ tween courtship and marriage was never more forcibly explained than in the following "Char¬ coal Sketch." " What made you get married if you do not like it?" " Why, I was deluded into it—fairly deluded, I had nothing to do of evenings, so I went a courting. Now, courtin'a fun enough—I haven't g-it a word to say agin courting, it is about as gooda way of killing an evening as I know of. Wash your face, put on .a clean dickey, and go and talk as sweet as molasses candy for an hour or two, to say nothing of a few kisses behind the door as your sweetheart goes to the step with you." " When I was asingle man, the world wagged on well enough. It was just like an omnibus ; I was a passenger, paid my levy, and hadn't nothing more to do with it but sit down and not care a button for anything. S'posin the omnibus got upsot, well, I walks off, and leaves the man to pick up the pieces. But then I must take u wife and he hanged to mc. It is very nice for awhile ; but afterwards its plaguy Ijkeowningan upsot omnibus." "Now?" queried Montezuma, "what's alj that about omnibusses ?" "What did I get by it ?" continued Gameliel, regardless of the interruption. *' Hew much fun ? why a yawning old woman aud the squal lers. Mighty different from courting that is. Where's tho fun of buying things to e.it and thipgs to wear for them, and wasting all good spreeing money on such nonseniie for other people? And, then, as for doing what you like, there's no such thing. You can't clear out when the people's owing you so much money you can't stay convenient. No, the nab- bers must have you. You can't go on a spree, for when you come home the missus kicks up the devil's delight. You can't teach her i et- ter manners for constables are as thick as blackberries. In abort, you can't do nothing. Instead of 'yes my duck,' and ' no my dear,' 'us yon please, honey, and when you like,' as it was in oourting times, it's a darning and mending, and nobody ever darned or mended. If it wasn't that I am pavtioularly sober, I'd bo inclined to drink, its excuse enough. Its heart-breaking, and its all owing to that I've such a pain in my gizzard of mornings. I'm so miserable I must stop and sit on those steps." " What's the matter now ?" " I'm getting aggravated. My wife is a sav¬ ing critter—ft Hword of sharpness; she cuts the throat of my felicity, stabs my happiness, chops up my comforts, and snips up all my Sunday- go-to-meetings to make jackets for the boya; she gives all the wittlea to the children, to make me spry and jump like a lamplighter. I can't stand it, iny troubles are overpowering when I come to add them up." " Oh, nonsense, behave nice, don't make a noise iu the street, be a man." " How can I be a man when I belong to some¬ body else ? My hours aint my own, my money aint my own; I belong to four people beside^ myself—the old woman and tbree children.— I'm a partnership concern; and so many have got their fingers in the till that I must bust up, I'll break, and sign over the stock in trade to you." 1' A wild one, to be sure." " With a chain or without ono ?¦ ed the painter. •' Without a chain t" •'Well, I will paint you a wild bear, with¬ out a chain, for ten dollars." Tho bargain was struck, the painter set to work,and iu due time sent homo the signboard, ou which he had painted a huge brown bear of a most ferocious aspect. The signboard was the admiration of all the neighborhood, and drew plenty of customers to the inn; and the I innkeeper knew not whether to congratulate himself mora upon the posaession of so attrac¬ tive a sign, or having secured it for the small gum of ten dollars. Time slipped on, his barrels were emptied and hip pockets .filled. Everything went on thrivingly for three weeks, when ono night there arose one of those violent storms of rain and wind, thunder and lightniug, which aro so common in North America, and which pass over with almost as muoh rapidity as they rise. When tho innkeeper awoke next morning, the sun was shining, tho birds singing, and all traces of the storm had passed away. He looked up anxiouBly to ascertain that bis sign was safe. There it was, sure enough, swinging to and fro as usual, but the bear had disappeared.— Tho innkeeper could hardly believe hia eyes ; full of anger and sarprise ho ran to the paint¬ er, aud related what had happened. The paint¬ er looked up coolly from his work. •'Was it a wild bear or a tame bear ?" •'A wild bear." •'Was it chained or not ?" "I guess not 1" "Then," cried the painter, triumphantly, "how could you expect a wild bear to remain in such a itorm aa that of last night without a cbaiu ?" The iimkceper had nothing to say against so conclusive an argument, and finally agreed to give tbe painter fifteen dollars to paint him a wild bear with a chain that would not take to the woods in the next storm. For the benefit of our unprofessional rcod- ers, it may bo necessary to mention that the roguish painter had painted the first bear in water colors, which had been washed away by the rain ; tho second bear was painted iu oil colors, and was therefore able to withstand the weather. confess your ignorance and awkwardness.' Confine your faults to bo few. Mr. Hollyhock says that character is a good enough institution to help a follow along in tbe world, but that caih is muoh better.

Cold weather «nd love are closely allied.- Let the mercury go down, and Cupid is sure to come up. We have known perfect ancho- ritea in August, get red-hot in love aa tbe bow¬ els of Vesuvius in December. Cold weather therefore is no two penny infltitution. With love the heart becomes a fair and fer¬ tile garden, glowing with sunshine .uij warm hues, and exhaling Bwect odora; hut without it, it is a black desert covered witli :i>lics. It is a law which God him-st-lf h:is inndf, that the arrow which is shot from the porsecutor'a bow, shall rebound and pierce the persecutor's heart. Spunky !—Tho St. Louis " Republican" aaya that a few days ago, a man and his wife, in that city, wero engaged in arranging a separa¬ tion.

PhU<lelphi« l-. : 0^ Tom Corwin on Ihmioeation,—Something wo huYO been writing, remiods U3 of an anec¬ dote relRt«d of this gentlerafln, which may or may not, have before appeared in print. While a member of the General Assembly of his State he brought in a bill for the abolition of public punishment at the whipping post.— ; He made a speech thereon to which an elderly member replied aomewhat as follows :— Mr. Bpoaker, the gentleman is not as old as I am, and has never seen ao much of tbe prac¬ tical operation of tha system of punishment which he desires to abolish. When I lived in Gonneclicut, if a fellow stole a horse or cut up any rusties, we used to tie him right up, and give him a real good thrashin. And he always cleared right out, and we never saw any more of him. It's the best way of getting rid o^ rogues that ever was tried, aud without expense to the State." Corwin rose in reply. "Mr. Speaker, I have been often puzzled to account for the vast emi¬ gration from Connecticut to the Weat; but the gentleman last up has explained it to my entire satisfaction." The bill passed without further discussion. Insidiousnkss.—One cml forgiye a person who tells him a lie, if it bVtold with a hesita¬ ting utterance, a downcast look, a trembling voice, a reluctant delivery, a quick retreat; and one must forgive lum who has an open brow, a natural air, a smile on his face, a good word on his tongue, and a bad purpose in his heart: for how can we, who aro all sinners, expect forgiveness of sins, if we will not for¬ give each other? Yet it is a hard struggle lo forgive those who betray with a kiss, and who are ready to do the samo thing again, not on¬ ly to you but to your neighbor. For the good of society, for the peace of the community, by the obligations of the social compact, and by the duty you owe to yonr Maker, ought joa not to reprobate the crime as you pity the criminal, and to pray for his sake that ho may be delivered from that most subtle, most dan¬ gerous, most besetling sin—because the most handy to be used, the most convenient to be suited, and the most difficult to be detected— the sin of hypocrisy, practiced under the name of friendship, and comprehending much that is wicked, aud everything that is mean. Prying and meddling, and listening, artful conversation and false reports of confidential matters, drawn out by the inquisitive impertinence of the tale¬ bearer himself; double-facedness, down right lying and utter slander, obtruded without apol¬ ogy for puposes too cunning to be within hail of anything like honesty, will qualify a man to be what might be called industrious. FAOEXIAIN SMALL PAKCEt^ An old gentleman in North Queen Street is such a stickler for 'independence,' that he went the other day and bought 120 26 cent chairs, so thatpwhen his funeral takes place he won't be 'beholden to his next door neigbora' for the loan of anything. Tbe very next day be slipped on an orange peel, and had to be borne home on a shutter by three hod'-carriers and a dirty-faced youth, with 'windows in his trowsers.* This being 'independent of your neighbors' won't work. Even an Astor cant't bring it about. He is as much dependent ou the world as the poor devil that carries in coals. At the timo of tti^e great introduction of 'universal salvation' to New England, a pious deacon at a conference meeting in a town about 30 miles north of Boston, addressed his oudi- ence one Sabbath morning, as follows;—"My friends, there is a new doctrine going about now-a-days. We aro told that all mankind are going to heaven ; but my dear brothers and sis¬ ters, we hope for better things.' The 'Milwaukee Sentinel' having placed on its bulletin board an announcement of the Pa¬ cific's arrival, on whioh was written, 'War in statu quo ?,' two men from tbo country walked up to the board, and after reading very de¬ murely, 'W&T in statu quo 9' B&'id one of them, 'where in thunder's that?' 'I don't know,'said the other, "it'll spread all over the world, yet' 'Shouldn't wonder if it did,' said the first. 'Perseverance,' said a lady, very earnestly, to a servant, 'is the only way to accomplish great things.' One day eight dumplings were sent down stairs and they all disappeared.— 'Sally, where are all thoie dumplings V I managed to get through them, ma'am.' 'Why, how on earth did you contrive to eat so many dumplings?' 'By peraeveranoe ma'am,' said Sally. A.gentleman, in a private letter from the Sandwich Islands, speaking of King Kame- bummeha, says : 'He loafs around the town of Honolnlo—peeps into a tavern and is ready to take a *nip' with any body that asks him. He isn't worth a 'continental,' and auctioneers wont take his bid at an auction.' Some one was telling Sam Hyde about the longivety of the mud turtle. 'Tes,^ said Sam, 'I know all about that, for once I found a ven¬ erable old fellow in my meadow, who was >o old that he could scarcely wiggle his tail, and on his back carved (tolerable plain consider¬ ing all things) these woTda—Paradise, Year 1, | Adam. Tastes are not alike. In Siberia, the great¬ est luxuries are raw cats served up in bears' while in .Tapan, a stewed crocodile flank- Woman's Lxvou.—A woman has no natural grace more hewiching than a sweat laugh. It i3 like the sound of flutes on the watar. It leaps from her heart in n clear sparkling rilU and tho heart tbat hears it feels as if bathed in tho cool, exhileratiut; .spring. Have you ever pursued an unseen fugitive through trees, led on by her fairy laugh, now here, now there, now lost, now found! We have. And wc arc pursuing that wandering voice to this day.— Sometimes it comes to us in the midst of care, or sorrow, or irksomo business; and then we turn away and liaten.nnd hear it ringing through the room like a silver bell, wilh power to scare away tho ill spirits of the mind. How much wo owe to tbat sweet laugh ! It turns the prose of our life into poetry, it flings showers of sunshine over the darksome wood in wbich we ara travelling, it touches with light even our sleep, which i.** nn moro the imago af death but is consumed with dreams that ard shadows of immortality.

Ihe young man burst into tears, and said: "I bare to die ; I had only one little brother—he had beautiful eyes and flaxen hair, and I loved him; but one day I got drunk, for the first time in my life, and coming home, I foundmy little brother gather¬ ing strawberries in the garden, aud I became angry at him without cause, and killed him at one blow with a rake. I did not know any- thisg about it untiluext morning,, When I awoke from sleep, and found myself tied and guarded, and was told that when my little brother was found, his hair was clotted with his blood and brains.

¦' ONLY WAITING/'
A Terj aged mfln in oa almshouse was asked TTbat he iras doing now? He replied, "Only waiting."
Only waiting till tlie sbodowii
Are a little longer grown, Only waiting UU the glimmer
Of tho day's la£t beam Is flown; Till the night of earth is faded
From the heart, onco full of day ; Till tho stars of heaven are breaking Through the twilight soft and grey.
Only waiting till tho reapers
Have the last aheaf gathered home. For the summer timo is faded,
And the autumn winds have come. Quickly, reapers! gather quickly
Tha lai^t ripe hours of my henr^. For the bloom of life Is withered.
And I haeten to depart
Only waiting till Uio angola
Open wide Ihe myntic gate, At whose feet I long have lingered.
Wciry, poor, and desolate. Even now 1 hear the footstep.'',
And their voices far away ; If they call me I am waiting,
Only waiting to obey.
Only w.iiling till the pbadows
Are o liiUe longer grown, Only walling till the glimmer
Of tbe day's Jn.-;! beam is flown. Then from out tho gather'd darknes.=.
Holy, deathless etars shall rlFC, Hy wboi-'c light my fOul shall gladly
Tread iLs pathway to the skies.
JTJST CHAEGE IT
A SKETCH FOR~NEW UEGINNERS,
what dill Ibis peuch preserve
*'Charles, cost?"
"I'm 8uro I do'nt koow, HauuaU." "But jou bought it this morning, didn't you?"
"I know 1 did, but I ilidn't ask the price of it"
"Did you not pay for itV" "No." "Why not?"
"Ob, because 1 dou't Btop lo make change. Ibave opened an account with Wr, Warilroii, aud shall ben-nft-T settle once in three mouths.' This conversation was going on at a tea- table, betweeu Charles Matthews and hiswifo. Matthews was a young mechanic, who had just commenced house-keeping, and as be was making excellent wages, be could afford: to live pretty well. After he bad made known his determination to bis wife, she remained aome time in milent thought.
"Charles," at length she said, in a very mild, persuasive tone, "I think it would be better to pay for things aa you take them.—¦ You kuow you receive your pay for labor every Saturday night, and you could pay as you go, very easily."
"I know I could," returned Mr, Matthews, with the air of a man who had unanswerable arguments at his command, '-but then it would not be near so handy. You see if I pay my store bill but once a quarter, I shall eavo all the trouble of making change; aud shall not only 8;ive some time, but also avoid mistakes," "Mifftakes !" repeated Hannah. "How can mistakes occur when you pay for things as you get themy"
"I will tell you. Sometimes it may uot be convenient to pay for a thing when I get it—I may forget my money, or I may only take it on trial—theu I pay for part and not for all, and some things may got charged which 1 pay for. No, Hannah, a settlement ouce a quarter will be the best and most convenient all around. I am satisfied of it,"
"Well, pcrhapa it rofty,"Baid tho wife, witi an earnest tone and look, yet with a amile; "but 1 cannot think eo." ''But wiiy ii-itT'
"Why on all accounts. In the first place, you will buy more than you would if you paid cash. Now, you net'du't shake your head, for I know it. There are so mauy Uttle luiuries, little extras, wbich we do not need, but which you will yet be apt to buy, if you do not have to pay cash down. I know something about this credit business, and it is uot a fair thing. In the second place, if you pay cash for every¬ thing, you will get your gooda cheaper. A trader will sell cheaper when be can have the money in his band, than when he has to carry out the amount on his ledger." j
"Bat let me tell you, Hannah, that Mr. Waldron will not cheat. He is not the man to take ndvanlnge that way." |
"You misunderatood me, Charles. Do you not know that all traders «an afford to sell cheaper for casli than for credit ? Mr. Wald¬ ron, for a fivo dollar bill, will let you have more sugar than he would for the same amount en¬ tered at different timos on his ledger. He can afford to do so. Traders like to secure caih customers. I think you will find it to your ad- •vantage to try the cash system. I^ow, I do not believe you would have bought this peach preserve if you had to pay the cash for it."
"But I bought that just to please you, Han¬ nah, and I thought you would accept it grate¬ fully," returned the young husband, in a tone which showed that his feelings were touched, "I know you did," said the wife, laying her hand affectionately upon his shoulder, "and I was grateful, for I know you would do any¬ thing to please me; but for the sake of helping you, I would forgo all tUcie things. Perhaps" —aud the wife spoke very low—"you might be able to buy a little cottage of your own one of these day
For several days Charles sent only such things up from the store as were actually needed. At length, as he went into the store
000 morning on his way to work, ho saw aome splendid looking pickles iu fancy jars. H« had ordered the arlioles he needed, and waa about to leave, when Jlr. Waldron spoke: "Mr. Mat¬ thews, don't you want ajar of those pickles ?
1 carried ajar home to my wife, last evening, and she thinks them superior to anything she ever saw before,"
Now Charles knnw that his wife had plenty of plain pickled cucumbers—some that her mother bad put down for her—but Mrs. Wald¬ ron has had some of fhoee fancy ones, and why shouldn't Hannah?
"Shall I send you up ajar?"
"How much are they?" "Only a dollar."
"Yes, you may send up one, and just charge it, if you please." j
"0, certainly; anything you want you may ! order at any time, and you may be assured we sball be happy to accommodate you."
Now this was flattering to young Matthew's feelings, to think that the trader had so much confidence in him, and he went away with an exceeding good opinion of himself and his credit, and o'f the store-keeper iu particular.
"Only a dollar!" Yes, only a dollar on the trader's books—that is nothing. But a dollar
right out of one's pocket, that Ih different
Charles Mattliews would not have bought those pickles, if the cash hod been required for them,
"Ah, Matthews, look here; I've got some thing to show you." This was said by the trader to the young man, on the very next morning after tbe purchase of the pickles.
And so Mr. Waldron led our hero out to the back part of the store, and opened a box.
"There, Matthews, nint these nice oranges?"
"They are nice," replied Charles. And so they really were.
"I know your wife would like some of theae, I carried some in to my wife, and sho wanted me to save her four or five dozen."
"These are nice. How do they come?"
"Lot's see; I can send yon up three dozen for a dollar; I get those very cheap. You know they are retailing at five' and six cents apiece."
"Yes. Well, you may send me up three dozen. Just charge them, if you pleaie."
"Certainly; anything else, this morningT"
"I belicTQ not,"
And BO Mattbewi went on. This morning it was a dollar—to-morrow, perhapi, fifty centa. It did not seem very much. The young man kept juit OS much money in hia pocket as though he hadn't bought them. "Only a dol¬
lar," he would say to himself; "that is not much out of twilve dollars a week." And so it might not be; but the trouble was (bat tbe next dollar was *'only a dollar." Ho forgot to add this dollar with the former dollar and call it two dollars, aud with tho uPit call it three, and so on.
One evening Charles came homo with a gold chain attached to his watch.
"Where did you get that?" asked his wife. ".A,b,." returned the husband, with an im¬ pressive shake of tho head, "I made a bargain in this chain. Now guess what I paid for it." "I'm sure I can't guess." •'0, but try-guess something." ' Well, perhaps ten dollars." "Ten doUiirs!" echoed Charles, with a sort of disappointed look. "Why, what are you thinking of? Jack Cummings bought this chain two months ago, and paid twenty dollars for it; why, lift it, and see how heavy it is.— Eighteen carats fine. Jsck was bard up for money, and let me have it for twelve dollars." "It is cheap, to be sure,"returned nannah, but yet not with so muoh pleasurable surprise as her husband had anticipated. "But," she added, "you will feel the loss of the money." "Poh ! I have money enough. You know I have spent but very little, lately. I have hecu pretty caving."
"But you forget our things, Charles. The money which yen havo in your hands is not yours,"
•'Not mine!"
"No; it belongs to the store-keeper, and to tbe butcher, and to our landlord. You know they must be paid."
"Don't you fret about them, I know it don't cost meanywhere uear twelve dollars a week to live, fur I havo made ao estimate. There is Wilkius, who works beside me in the shop. He has four children, and only gets the same wages that I do, and yet be lays up some three or four dollars a week, besides paying bis rent."
'Yes,' said Hannah, • I know he does. I was in to see his wife, the other day, and she was telling mc bow wiill they wore getting along. Mr. Wilkins takes his basket every Saturday night, aud goes over to the market, and buys his week's quantity, of meat and vegetables, and trades for cash, so that he gets everything at the best advantage. So he does at the store. He lays in a good quantity of all thoso articles wbich will keep, and buys them as cheap as be can. Butter, eggs, chccBu, apples, and such, he buys when the market is full, and when they are cheap, and he always buys enough to last his family over the season of scarcity, when such things are high. His butter, for instance, he bought for eighteen centa a pound—a large firkin of it— and it is much sweeter than that for for which you \.&y twenty-eight cents.'
'Twenty-eight cents!" repeated the young man, in aurprige.
' Yes. I asked Mr. Waldron's man, who brought it up, and he aaid it had risen to twenty-eight cents Mr. Wilkin's got fifty dozen eggs, some time ago, for twelve cents a dozen, and his wife packed them down, and they kept well. You will havo to pay Mr. Waldron thirty-three for those you sent up yesterday.'
Charles Alatthews was somewhat astonished at this view of the case, but it could not be I helped now; and the subject w.ag dropped.— Hia gold chain had lost its charm. It di'l not look BO well even in his own eyes, as bad the simple black cord whicli be had worn before. At length tho end of the quarter came around. The Srst bill paid iras the rent, which amounted to thirty-one dollars The next was the butcher's bill, which came to thirty-six dollars. Charles was astonished to see how the meat bill footed up. But when he saw how many steaks he had at seventeen cents per pound, tho cause of wonder was at an end. Next he paid the baker's bill, which was thirteen dollars. When he came home in the evening, he had paid all his bills, except tho grocery bill.'
•Mr. Waldron sent in his bill to-day,' saJd his wife, after supper.
'Ah, did he ? Let me see it.' Hannah brought it, and Charles looked at it. He was astonished at its length, and when he came to look at the bottom of the column, bis face turned a shade paler. It footed up jost sixty-five dollars—an average of fivo dol¬ lars per week.
«This iB impoBsiblfl!' he uttered, as he gazed upon it. But he examined the different arti¬ cles, and he could remember when he ordered them. Those things which cost only a dollar, looked very innocent when viewed alone, but in the aggregate they had a different appear¬ ance.
'How much shall you lay up this quarter, Charles?' kindly asked the wife, ai she came aud lean-jd over her husband's shoulder, and parting the hair on his forehead, smoothed it back.'
' How much shall I lay up V be repeated.— 'Not much. Get the slate, and let ua reckon up,' Charles waa resolved to be frank abou*i the matter, and let his wife know all.
ThCilatewas brought. First Hanuah put down one hundred and fifty-six dollars, as the quarter's wages. Then came the rent, and tho butcher, and the baker.
'Now you may put down twelve dollars for the chain—and twelve dollars for sundries— that means cigars, tobacco, nuts, beer, soda, theatre tickets and such things. Now take all that from my quarter's wages, and see how muoh remains.'
Hannah performed the sum, and gave fifty- two dollars as the result.
•Fifty-two dollars,' uttered Charles, sinking bauk into his ohair, 'and we have not bought one article of clothing or furniture. Fifty^ two dollars with which to pay sixty-five.— I There is thirteen dollars short this quarter, : and I have to savd thirty at least.*
•Well, it is no use to mourn over it,' said the wife, in a cheerful tone, for she saw tbat the husband felt badly. 'Let's commence again; there's nothing like trying, you know.*
For some moments Charles remained silent. He gazed first upon the bill he had in hia hand, then upon the figures on the slate, and then upon the floor. At last he spoke; there was a peculiar light in his eyei, and a flush upon his countenance.
• Hannah, I see where the trouble is, and I most freely admit that I have beeu wrong; if I had paid for everything as I bought it, I ahouid not have been where I am now in pecuniary matters. You are right—I see it all now—I have not estimated the value of money as I ought. Let me once get up again to where I began, and will I do differently. I mus step down to the store this evening, and pay Mr. Waldron what I have, and tho rest I will pay bim when I am able.'
•That matter can be easily settled,' saidHan- nah,.with a bright, happy look, • I have more than enough to make up the amount of that bill. It is money we had when we were mar¬ ried. Wait a moment."
Charles protested most earnestly against tak¬ ing his wife's money, but she would listen to no argument on that subject. So he went down, and paid the grocery bill, and on his way home he sold his gold chain for fourteen dollars. He felt happier when he got the old black cord once more about his neck, and the money now to commence the quarter with
On the next Monday morning, the young man went into the meat store to send home a piece of beef for dinner.
•How much will you have?' asked the butcher.
* 0, three or four'—
Charles got thus far, and then he stopped.— He had always been in the habit of ordering an indefinate quantity, and leaving the butcher to cut it off at the highest figure, and charge the highest prices; ond then he remembered how muoh was usually wasted.
(Let mo have two pounds,' he said. He stopped and saw it weighed, and then paid for
his two pounds of beef had made enough, and there waa none to waste. The next morning he went lo the store. Mr. Waldron hod some j nice figs juBt come iu, which ho showed. For : a moment, Charles hesitated, but when he re- i membered that he had to pay for all he bought, he concluded not to take tbem. He foiind that things were not quite so enticing when it re¬ quired cash to get them, as when the payment could be postponed. He paid for what he bought, and went his way» and thus things went an through the week. When it came Saturday night, he knew that all the money in hi3*pooket was his own, alter deducting the rent. That evening he went over to the mar¬ ket with Wilkins, and bought as much meat and vegetables as ho thought would last him through the week. He found that he inade a saving of at least 20 per cent, by this" opera¬ tion, and when opportunity offered, he made tbo samo aaviog in other m.atters.
At the end of that quarter Charles Matthews did not have to get any slate. He paid his house rent, and then ho found he had thirty- five dollars left in his pocket. Thia was all his—he did not owe a penny of it,
•Ah, Hannah,' ho said, as be held the money in his band, und looked at it, 'now I see how easy it is for a man to be wrong, and his wife right. This money all comes of paying as I go along. It is very etay and simple to say —• Just charge it'—and a man may easily bny things under such circumstances, but when the day of reckoning comes, these three simple words that sound innocent when spoken, are found to be costly things. I would not have believed it, had I not tried it. I could not have believed that a man would purchase so many more useless articles, simply because he could have tbem charged. But I see it now, and if I refused to follow your advice at first, I have gained experience enough to lead me to follow it the more implicitly now.'
Charles Matthews never again allowed him¬ self to be led away by the credit system, but he followed the cash rule punctually, and tbe coneequenoe has been that be cnnnot only now buy auy quantity of produce, wood, coal, &c., at cheap cash prices, but he has cut off the expense of house rent, for he owns a snug lit¬ tle cottage ia tbe suburbs, and it is nil paid for.
rOR YOUNG MEN.
HE DRINKS.
How ominously that sentence falls ! How wc pause in the conversation and ejaculate, " it's a pity." How his mother hopes that be will not when he grows older, and his sisters persuade themselves that it is only a few wild oats he is aoning. And yet old men shake tbeir heads, and feel sad and look gloomy when they speak of it; for ^ho ever stopped and did not at some time again give way to temp¬ tation.
It is dangerous to trifle with Pleasure. Each step that she leads us away from the path of rectitude, leaves us leas desire to return.— Each time that she induces us to deviate, we must go a littlo further to obtain the Bame enjoyment. Even if with increased experience wc resolve to walk in ' the path of duty, we lollow it with more difficulty if we have once allowed ourselves to wander.
Pleasure stands at a gate aver open, and she invites us to enter her g,irden8. She tells us that wo need not fear, for we can return when we choOae. She calls to the pilgrim on tbe duaty highway of life, and wayworn and weary as he is, she invites him to enter. She points him to men tbat are again upon the road; men who once whiled away some time in her dominions, but hava now resumed their journey. He does not know the self-reproach and the weakness they felt on leaving her bowers, nor the increased difficulty with which thoy tread the path of daily life. He wishes, and then turns, and then looks in. He -will enter for a little way. But he is soon bewil¬ dered with enjoyment. His souebs revel in the fragrance. He is on enchanted ground.— He is sure that he can return, and that he will return, after he has beeu a littlo further; yet with every step he feels less desire to do so.— Of what profit is it to him now, that the gate stands openf As he wanders along, the air becomes more exhilerating, and the fruits more highly flavored. The breeaes become warmer, the fragrance is more pungent, and the flowers more aromatic. His senses are intoxicated, and his desires become inflamed. The flowers that blossomed along his morning path, the, little ,modest flowers that opened their meek eyes, sparkling with dew, and smiled on him as be sot out upon his journey, are forgotten. The duties that he owes to himself, to his fellow- men, to big God, all are forgotten, and he goes restlessly forward to enjoy hotter breezes, mora stimulating fruits, and more narcotic ' odera. What avails to him uow, that the gate remains ever open ?
But already these pleasures have begun to pall. Some strange influence is bunumbing his senses. He finds apples with ashes at the core. Hot winds are blistering bis flsh, but he feels no wound. Excess of pleasure is becom¬ ing pain. He has reached tbe marshes where the garden of PleasuiQ borders on the valley and shadow of death, and ho would fain take refuge in oblivion. He sits down under the shade of the Aconite, and binds his throbbing temples with wreaths of its dull foliage. The night of Despair is fast closing in upon him,— Darkness, like a blanket, shuts out the light of Heaven, and the trembling madness fires hia brain. Slimy serpents are in attendance on him. They glide around noiselessly, and lull him in drowsy folds. Worms nre incessantly twisting in the seams of hia clothing. Invisible fiends are gathering around him like ravens.— Thoy wait impatiently. ^ bears the rustling of their skinny pinions and he feels the air moved a little by them. Their eyes of fire are shining on bim from their viewless bodies, and the air is thick with muttering. Out from tho darkness comes the Toice of tho worm, claimiug him aa her brother, and the voice of corruption calling him "my son;" and wi'h a chill he curses God, and dies. " At the last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder."
Young man, just commencing life, buoyant with hope, don't drink. You are freighted with a precious cargo. The hopes of your old par¬ ents, of your sisters, of your wite, of your children, aro all laid upon you. In you the aged live over again their younger days; through you only can the weaker ones attain a position in society, and from the level on which you place them must your children go into tbe great struggle of Hfo.
"BORROBOOIiA-aBA."
A Btrauger preached last Saaday-
Aod orowdfl of people ftame, To hear a two hour senpon
WithabarbaroussouiidiDg name; 'TwsA all about some heathenn
Thousand of miles effar, Wbo lived In a land of dorkncss
Called •'Borrroboola-Gha,"
So well their wauti hopicturod,
That when tbe platen worn po-ued. Each llBtner folt hia pocket-j.
And goodly sums wore east; Sor all muBt lend a shoulder.
To push tho rolhng car, That carried light and comfort
To ''fiorroboola-Oha."
That night their wonta and sorrowa
Lay heavy on my floul, And deep In meditation
I took my morning stroll, Till pomethlng caught my mantel
With eager gnusp and wUd, And looking down with wondur,
I saw a little child,
A pale and puny creature,
In rags and dirt forlorn ; What could she want, I qucBUoned,
Impatient to be gone; With trembling volca sho answerud,
*'We Hre Just dowu the street, And mammy she^ a dyln',
And we've nothing left to eat"
Down in a wretchod basement.
With mould upon thewalbi. Thro' whoseTiBlf burled windows
God's EUUfihiue never falls; Wherocold, and want, and hunger,
Crouched near her as she Iny, I fouud a fellow creaturo
Gasping her life away.
A chair, a broken table,
A bed ofdlrty straw, A hearth all dark and cfa«>er)t!03 —
But these I scarcely saw. For the mournful eight before mu,
Tho fad and eick'niog fihow— Ob 1 had I over pictured
A scene 80 full of woe!
The ftimigbed and the naked,
Tho bubes that pine for breud. Tbe equallldgroup thathuddlod
Around the dying bed; All this distress and sorrow
Should be In lands afar; Was I suddenly transplanted
To "Borroboola-Qha?"
Ah. no( the poor and wretched
Were close behhad the door. And I had passed them beedluss
A thousand tlmee before, Alas) for tbe cold aod hungry
Tbat met me every day. While all my tears were i^ven
To the suffering far away.
There's work enough for Christians
In distant lands, we know ; Our Lord commands bis scrvanta

This was his charjie to them— "Oo preach tho word, beginning

Oh I Christian, God has promised
Whoe'er to thee has given A cup of pure cold wator,
Shall find reward in heaven. Would you secure tho blessing,
You need not seek it far; Oo,findiu yonder hovel

who for a timo had set np his «aael not a hun¬ dred miles from Ontario, and inquired for what sum the painter would paint him a bear for a ^ sign-board. It was to be a real good one that would attract customers.
" Fifteen dollars!" replied the painter.
" That's too much !" said the innkeeper; "Tom LaTkiuB will do it for ten 1"

A Hdmorous Sketch.—The difference be¬ tween courtship and marriage was never more forcibly explained than in the following "Char¬ coal Sketch."
" What made you get married if you do not like it?"
" Why, I was deluded into it—fairly deluded, I had nothing to do of evenings, so I went a courting. Now, courtin'a fun enough—I haven't g-it a word to say agin courting, it is about as gooda way of killing an evening as I know of. Wash your face, put on .a clean dickey, and go and talk as sweet as molasses candy for an hour or two, to say nothing of a few kisses behind the door as your sweetheart goes to the step with you."
" When I was asingle man, the world wagged on well enough. It was just like an omnibus ; I was a passenger, paid my levy, and hadn't nothing more to do with it but sit down and not care a button for anything. S'posin the omnibus got upsot, well, I walks off, and leaves the man to pick up the pieces. But then I must take u wife and he hanged to mc. It is very nice for awhile ; but afterwards its plaguy Ijkeowningan upsot omnibus."
"Now?" queried Montezuma, "what's alj that about omnibusses ?"
"What did I get by it ?" continued Gameliel, regardless of the interruption. *' Hew much fun ? why a yawning old woman aud the squal lers. Mighty different from courting that is. Where's tho fun of buying things to e.it and thipgs to wear for them, and wasting all good spreeing money on such nonseniie for other people? And, then, as for doing what you like, there's no such thing. You can't clear out when the people's owing you so much money you can't stay convenient. No, the nab- bers must have you. You can't go on a spree, for when you come home the missus kicks up the devil's delight. You can't teach her i et- ter manners for constables are as thick as blackberries. In abort, you can't do nothing. Instead of 'yes my duck,' and ' no my dear,' 'us yon please, honey, and when you like,' as it was in oourting times, it's a darning and mending, and nobody ever darned or mended. If it wasn't that I am pavtioularly sober, I'd bo inclined to drink, its excuse enough. Its heart-breaking, and its all owing to that I've such a pain in my gizzard of mornings. I'm so miserable I must stop and sit on those steps." " What's the matter now ?" " I'm getting aggravated. My wife is a sav¬ ing critter—ft Hword of sharpness; she cuts the throat of my felicity, stabs my happiness, chops up my comforts, and snips up all my Sunday- go-to-meetings to make jackets for the boya; she gives all the wittlea to the children, to make me spry and jump like a lamplighter. I can't stand it, iny troubles are overpowering when I come to add them up."
" Oh, nonsense, behave nice, don't make a noise iu the street, be a man."
" How can I be a man when I belong to some¬ body else ? My hours aint my own, my money aint my own; I belong to four people beside^ myself—the old woman and tbree children.— I'm a partnership concern; and so many have got their fingers in the till that I must bust up, I'll break, and sign over the stock in trade to you."
1' A wild one, to be sure." " With a chain or without ono ?¦ ed the painter.
•' Without a chain t"
•'Well, I will paint you a wild bear, with¬ out a chain, for ten dollars."
Tho bargain was struck, the painter set to work,and iu due time sent homo the signboard, ou which he had painted a huge brown bear of a most ferocious aspect. The signboard was the admiration of all the neighborhood, and drew plenty of customers to the inn; and the I innkeeper knew not whether to congratulate himself mora upon the posaession of so attrac¬ tive a sign, or having secured it for the small gum of ten dollars.
Time slipped on, his barrels were emptied and hip pockets .filled. Everything went on thrivingly for three weeks, when ono night there arose one of those violent storms of rain and wind, thunder and lightniug, which aro so common in North America, and which pass over with almost as muoh rapidity as they rise. When tho innkeeper awoke next morning, the sun was shining, tho birds singing, and all traces of the storm had passed away. He looked up anxiouBly to ascertain that bis sign was safe.
There it was, sure enough, swinging to and fro as usual, but the bear had disappeared.— Tho innkeeper could hardly believe hia eyes ; full of anger and sarprise ho ran to the paint¬ er, aud related what had happened. The paint¬ er looked up coolly from his work. •'Was it a wild bear or a tame bear ?" •'A wild bear." •'Was it chained or not ?" "I guess not 1"
"Then," cried the painter, triumphantly, "how could you expect a wild bear to remain in such a itorm aa that of last night without a cbaiu ?"
The iimkceper had nothing to say against so conclusive an argument, and finally agreed to give tbe painter fifteen dollars to paint him a wild bear with a chain that would not take to the woods in the next storm.
For the benefit of our unprofessional rcod- ers, it may bo necessary to mention that the roguish painter had painted the first bear in water colors, which had been washed away by the rain ; tho second bear was painted iu oil colors, and was therefore able to withstand the weather.

Cold weather «nd love are closely allied.- Let the mercury go down, and Cupid is sure to come up. We have known perfect ancho- ritea in August, get red-hot in love aa tbe bow¬ els of Vesuvius in December. Cold weather therefore is no two penny infltitution.
With love the heart becomes a fair and fer¬ tile garden, glowing with sunshine .uij warm hues, and exhaling Bwect odora; hut without it, it is a black desert covered witli :i>lics.
