OB, THB BOOD DBED EEWABDBD. " Visitors 1" exclaimed Kate Bennett Im¬ patiently, aa ahe laid aside the book ahe had been readingi and in wMoh she had been deeply interested, and took the cards whioh the serrant presented,
"Dear me, how provoking 1 Jnat as-I am to the moat exciting part of the stoiy*-and that pert, diaagteeable Emily Archer, too," she added, reading one of the cards; " who else, I wonder?"
Was there magio in that simple bit of paste¬ board, inscribed with only two words, " Rich¬ ard Warren 1" It wonld almost seem so, so instantaneoas did her oountenance change. The frown that disflgnied her beanfitnl brow disappeared, her eyes sparkled, and withont another thonght of the book, al^ hastily as¬ sured herself by a glance in the mirror, that her toilet was nneiceptionable, and left the room.
As she entered the drawing room and greet¬ ed her gnests with all that grace and ele¬ gance of manner for which she was distin- gnished, Emily Archer surveyed her with one rapid, critical glance; bnt dresa, as well as manner, was faaltless.
" It mnst be confessed that Kats Bennett enters a room like a qneen," she thonght, with a pang of envy and jealousy, as in Rich¬ ard Warren's face she read nndisgnised ad¬ miration of the lovely girl before them.
What casual observer, who had marked the meeting of these two ladies, would have dreamed that, under aU their outward friend¬ liness, each hated the other with her whole heart ? Yet so it was. Kate and Emily were rival belles, and their claims to admiration were so evenly balanced that it required no little exertion on either side to gain tbe as- owdancy and be acknowledged the victor.
If Kate, ."with her classical fealnres, queen¬ ly dignity, elegaut figure and exquisite taste, at flrst sight threw her rival in the shade, Emily's piquant style and sprightly conver¬ sation were by many preferred to Sate statu¬ esque beauty. It was impossible to decide which was the lovliest—each ha 1 her adher¬ ents and admirers—but as they were equaUy numerous, it seemed probable that the sea¬ son would draw to a close without the all- important decision of the question—which had been, par excellence, the belle.
Just at thia time Richard Warren return¬ ed from Europe. The arrival of so undenia¬ bly elegant, handsome and wealthy a gentle¬ man waa an event; all the faahionable world was in a flutter, and the rivals saw at once that the important epoch had arrived. She whose claim he advocated, whom be favored with his admiration, would at once stand up¬ on the precarious pinnacle of belle-shipi though their tactics were entirely different.
Emily brought to bear upon him the batte¬ ries ot her sprightly wit, while Kate adroitly laid the mine of apparently queenly indiffer¬ ence. Aa yet, though it was evident that Richard admired both, his preference was not known—perhaps he hardly knew him¬ self which one he thonght the most charm¬ ing.
But dnring this exposition of the claims of the rivals a lively conversation had been going on. The last new novel and the opera bad been diBcnased, as well as some of their mutual friends, and in the midst of some wickedly witty remarks of Emily upon a would-be fashionable lady, a loud voice was heard in the hall. It came nearer the door and the words coold be distinctly nndezBtood! "You -no^brained, impudent jackanapes, I'll teach yon manners; I'U make you laugh on t'other side of your mouth."
The door was fltmg open, and in walked a tall, athletic young man, whose reaUy fine form waa disguised in an illfitttog suit of do- meatio manufacture, and stood for a moment awkwardly looking abont him; then hastily approaching Kate, he flung his arms around ber, and gave her a loud smack on the cheek.
She witbdiew berself qnickly and haugh¬ tily from hia embrace.
"Sirl" said she, with freezing dignity. "iawl don't ya know who I be f" exclaim¬ ed the new comer, in no wise disconcerted. "Wall, now, I do aotuaUy beUeve you've forgot me. Don't yer know yer oousin Beu 1 Ye see, I don't like farmin' no how you can fix it, so I quit that and come to the city. Jim Simpson waa down to onr place, and he's doing fnst-rate here. He said it was dread¬ ful hard to get a start in the city, but guess I ain't a going to slump through where he gets ahead.   I'U risk it anyhow."
Catharine, at the commencement of this speech, had alternately flnshed and paled, for she waa deeply mortified that Richard Warren and Emily Archer should have been witnesses of such a acene. She caught a tri¬ umphant glance from Emily. It restored her pride.
With aU the grace of wbich she was mis¬ tress, she turned to the new comer:
"-?<Qn mnst excuse me, Cousin Ben," she sali, "I had^forgotten you. A few years make a change, and I can hardly retrace in your countenance a feature that reminds me of the lad who went nutting with me in the dear old woods of Hampton. AUow me, Mis s Archer," turning to her, "to present to yon my cousin, Mr. Adams—^Mr. Warren, Mr. Ad¬ ams," and with perfect composure she saw his awkward bow and scrape.
EmUy at once commenced a conversation with Mr. Adams and was proceeding to drag him out most ridiculously, when Kate came to the rescue.
"You forget,Miss Archer," said she, "that my cousin has just arrived in town, and has not yet had an opportunity to see the lions. He wUl be batter able to give hia opinion of them in a few days, when 1 shall have the pleasure of acting as his cicerone."
Mr. Warren, Uke a weU-bred gentleman, as he was, addressed some remarks to Mr. Adams on subjects with which he was famil¬ iar, and shortly after he, with Miss Archer, took his leave. Kate could have cried with vexation as ahe thought of the sarcastic and ludicrous desoription of the scene which Em¬ Uy wonld deUght in giving, but she controlled herself. She waa a kind-hearted girl, and could not forget the visits she had paid her dear Uncle and Aunt Adams, or Ben's unti¬ ring eflbrts to make her happy when at his father's honse. She resolved to repay him now, and her graoiousness of manner qnite fascinated poor Ben, as she made aU sorts of inquiries abont the old farm.
Ho sooner had Richard Warren, with Miss Archer, left the house, than she began, with aU hor powers of sarcasm, aa Kate had fore¬ seen, to ridicule the scene they had witnessed. Mr. Warren amUed bnt seemed absent
"I had no idea that the Bennels had suoh vulgar rehitions," knowing weU that the fas¬ tidious Richard Warren would consider thia a serious objection to the woman of his choice.   " Notwithstanding aU Kate Bennet'
situation, and very speedily his rusticity wore off. He had both good looks and good sense. Under hia cousin's judicious training ha very aoon did her no diaoredit, even among the crowd of flne gentlemen that surrounded her.
EmUy Archer aaw all, and bit her Up in vexation. She could not but acknowledge the superiority of Kate's stratagem, and she had triumphed to the event which she hoped would humUiate her.
From that time Richard Warran washer constant attendant, and ere long he had open¬ ly acknowledged his preference by ofiertog her ilis heart and hand,
" Kate," he said, ahortly after their betroth¬ al," I shall never cease to thank Conam Ben for givtog me my bride, I admired you as a heUe, bnt hia conung and your reception of him proved that you were aomethlng better than a mere flne lady—that you were a true woman, blest with that graatedt of aU attrac¬ tions, a heart. Confess that yon owe him a debt of gratitude."

Many years had paased. to the sober ma¬ tron, Mrs. Warren, one would have hardly recognized the dashing belle, Kate Bennett.
Blest with wealth, a cheerful home, a fond husband and loving children, she had led a happy Ufe, and time had bnt increased the attachment of the wedded pair. But cloud¬ less aa her life had been, a storm was gath¬ ering. Her husband, always cheerful, grew Uioody, restleas and unhappy. She tried to vam to diacover the canse of bis gloom, but he only made evasive repUes to her toquiries, and conld only guess at hia troubles; that they were connected with his bnameas ahe imagtoed.   Her surmises were correct.
He entered the room one day where she was sitttog, and exclaimed, fltogtog himseU on the sofa.
"Kate, we are rutoed. to vam 1 have struggled for weeka past; it is useless to at¬ tempt it any longer. To-day I shaU be known as a bankrupt—^pennUess, and worse than pennUess. In trytog to double my for¬ tune I have lojt all. You and my children are beggars."
"Why shonld loss of wealth trouble you, Richard!" said his wife, tenderly, approach- tog and taking his hand. That is, after all, but a trifling misfortune. WhUe we are spared to each other, blest with health and chUdren, why abonld we repme at the mere loss of fortune." The husband groaned. " Ah, to be dishonest, Kate," said he ; " fear to look men to the lace, because I am a bankrupt, unable to pay my debts. Kate, tbe very idea of this nearly drives me mad. To avoid this, what have I not done ? I have passed sleepless nights and anxious days— but all in vain."
With soothtog words the wife tried to comfort him; but, alas, he paid little heed to her efforts.
Just then a servant entered, saytog that a gentleman wished to see Mr. Warren.
" TeU him that I cannot," repUed his mas¬ ter : " I wiU see nobody."
" But you wiU," replied a cheertol voice, and a gentleman closely followed the servant aa he entered.
"How is thia, my dear Dick I" he said; "yon are in trouble, and did not apply to me ; that waa not right."
" And of what use would it have been ?" retumed Warren. " I am weary of borrow- tog of one friend to repay the other, day after day. Even that has faUed me at last, and I have come to hide myself from the prytog gaze of those who will aoon be talk' tog of my disgrace."
" I had heard rumors of this, Dick, and went to your offlce to see you; as you were not there, I foUowed yon here. Yon have two honrs yet before bank honrs aiB over Here is a blank check, fill it up yonrseU, and It sh&U be duly honored, Kepay at your convenience. No thanks ; it is only a loan. I know your bustoeas weU, and that to a Uttle time, with perhaps a little assist ance, aU wiU be right agato."
TotaUyovercome, Richard could ouly grasp his friend's hand, whUe his eyes fiUed with an unwonted moisture.
"How can we ever thank yon, dearest consto Ben f" cried Kate. " How oan we ever repay you f"
"Tnt, tut, Kate; lam only dischargtog a part of a debt I owe you, my dear girl. ^ owe aU I possess-aU I am—to yon. When I flrat came here, a raw, ignorant, awkward countiy booby, yon were not ashamed of me. You took me cordiaUy by the hand, influ¬ enced your father to assist me, and moro than aU, by unvarytog kmdness, offering me a home and innocent amuaements to your aociety, kept me out of many temptations that beset a lonely, toexperienced lad, such aa without you I shonld bave been. I thank¬ ed you for it then, even when I didn't appre¬ ciate the sacrifice it was to a fine lady to have a bumpkto like myself abont her; and when I knew more of the world and understood the rarity of suoh conduct, I loved you the better for it, and felt the more grateful. I had no opportunity to show it before in any substantial form. Bnt now you see you are under no obUgations. I'm only getttog rid of a little of the heavy load yon placed me under long ago. Be off with yon, Dick, and hereafter rely on me in aU cases like the present. Don't get discouraged so eaaUy— busmesa men, of aU others, should hive elastic temperaments. Good by, now," he added, as Warren disappeared, kissing the tears from B^ate'a cheek, " and be aaaured that Ben Adams, the mUUonaire, haa never forgotten, and wUl try to repay yonr kind¬ ness to yonr poor and awkward couato."
" I am richly repaid," sbe muttered. " How little I dreamed, long ago, that twice in my life I ahould owe my highest happiness to the triflmg acts of kindness toward my good couato."
How Wolves CiPruHE Wild Houses.— Wherever several of the larger wolves asso¬ ciate together for mischief, there is alwaya a numerous tram of smaUer ones to foUow to the rear, and act as auxillariea in the work of destruction. Two large wolves are sufflcient to destroy the most powerful horse, and sel¬ dom more than two ever begta the assault, although there may be a score to the gang.— It is no leas curious than amusing to witness this ingenious mode of attack. If there is no snow ,or but a small quantity on the ground, two wolvea approach to the moat playful manner, lying, rolUng, and friaking about, nntU the too credulous and unaua- pecttog victim is completely pnt off his guard by curiosity and famUiarity. During thia time the gang, squatttog on their htod quarters, look on at a distance. After some time spent in this way, the two assailants sepe¬ rate, when one approaches the horse's head the other his taU, with a shyness and oun- utog pecnliar to themselvea. At this stage of the attack their froUcsome approaohes be¬ come very toteresttog—it is to right good earnest; the former is a mere decoy, the lat¬ ter ia the real assailant, and keeps his eyes steadily fixed on the ham-strtogs or flank of the  horse.   The critical  moment is  then
watched,   and   the attack is simultaneous •

Having frequent toquiries relative to cer- tato remedies whioh are announced aa apeci- flcs by their originators, and the formulK for which are transmitted by maU to various persona, I am fortunately enabled lo res¬ pond to anch toquiries, and givo pubUoity to the formula.
The flrst is a "Presoription for general Nervona DebUlty," whioh may be had from a certata Bev. J. M. DagnaU, who it seems has labored under almost every form of ner¬ vous derangement, and has permanently cu¬ red himaelf by his prescription, whicb he now very generously offers to others. The prescription ia as foUows: R.   Alcohol. Ext. Ignatia Amara, gra. xxx.
Acacia Pnlv. gra. x. Mix.
Divide toto forty pills, one of whioh is to be taken to the moming, and one in the even- tog.
As our readers may meet with individuala who havo been todnced to make nae of these pills, a few words of comment may not be amiss. The Bean of St. Ignatius is the pro¬ duct of a tree todigenous to lie FhUUptoe Islands; it haa an extremely bitter taste, no odor, a horny consistence, and contains a large proportion of stiychnia, whioh is, ,to- deed its active medicinal prtociple; whUe the nux vomica seeds yield only 0.4 per cent, of strychnia, the bean of St. Ignatius gives 1.2 per cent,, and, consequently, an extract of the latter article mnst contato three thnea as much of this alkaloid as that prepared from the nux vomica, provided equal parts of each article yield an equal amonnt of ex¬ tract.
Although in proper hands and under prop¬ er management, strychnia may prove a vary valnable medicinal agent in several forms of disease, yet ita incautious and indiacrimioate nse is Ukely to be foUowed by fatal resalts. Hardly any two persons experience the lame tofluence from it; thus, wliile some are but slightly affected by doses of one tentli, or one twelfth of a grain, others suffer aenous- ly from doses as mtoute as one fiftieth or one sixtieth of a grata. Prom its exceedingly dangerous character, and the multiform sus¬ ceptibilities of the human system to Its ac¬ tion, physicians employ it with great ciroum- spection; and aU authors agree to advistog it to be administered with great caution, carefully watching the patient while exposed to its influence; and many physicians re¬ gard it aa so dangerous an article aa never to prescribe it in their practice.
The doae of the extract of nux vomica, as given by authors, is from half a grain to two grains, to be repeated three times a day; but if the extract be properly prepared from a good article of nux vomica seeds, there are very few persons with whom the exhibition of even half a grata three times a day, would be advisable, to the above preacription, each piU contains three-fourths of a grain o^ the extract of St. Ignatiua' bean, whicb, ac- oordtog to the preceding calculation, ia equal to two and one-fourth graina of tbe extract of nux vomica, or more by one-fourth of a grata than the maximum doae of the latter extract, as recommended by medical writera. From this statement may be learned the ab¬ solute danger of this Rev. gentleman's pre¬ scription, and 1 ahonld not be at aU aatoniah- ed to leam of many deaths among thoae who employ it without any prudence or cir- cumapection.
Agato, tbe bean of Bt. Ignatius is rarely met with in this oountry, never betag used by physicians, and the person who receives the prtated presoription and directions from the Rev. Mr. D., wiU to most cases, after a fruitless attempt to obtain the remedy from druggists, be obUged to fee the gentleman for aquantity of the extract, ^r of the pills al> ready prepared ; and in no case oan tbe pa¬ tient know whether he receives tbe extract of the bean, or of the nux vomica.
The next medioal humbug is that of one H. James, M. D., Jeraey city, N. J. Poat Of¬ fice,—box 820, who advertiaes himaelf as a retired physician, and who professes to have become acquainted with a cure for consump¬ tion, whUe in the Bast Indies, the recipe for which he wiU fumlah ta conaumptivea at the very low and unprofessional price of one BhiUmg each. This prescription ia as fol¬ lows :
R.   Alcoholic tincture of Cannabis todica, six ounces.
Extract of Calabria Liquorice, one pound. Salts of Tartar, one-quarter of a pound. Hot water, two gaUons. Mix.
The doae ia a teaspoonful three times a day. It is very much to be desired that thia remedy would cure consumption, but I dea- pair of ever hearing of one well authentica¬ ted case of thia formidable malady, in which recovery resulted from its employment.
The Cannabis todica ia a plant growing ta the East Indies', closely reaembUng the hemp cultivated to this country, and most botan- leta beUeve the eastern plant to be Identical with that of our own cultivation.   This plant possesses sedative and anodyne properties, and in large doses produces a rather peouUar state of tatoxication.   It Is used by medical men to produce sleep, aUeviate paiu, arrest spasm, tacrease the appetite, and exhUarate the spirits.   Used by consumptives  to the above preparation, its action wUl vory much resemble   that   of a  mixture of camphor, opium and soap, which was much employed as a remedy in consumption, some years since.   It may beneflt a consumptive person by its influence in reUevtog congh, in produ¬ cing a temporary increase of appetite, to les- aentog acidity of the stomach, in checking diarrhea for a time, &c., but it possesses no power to cure the tuberculous condition of the lungs, upon which the disease depends. Nervous cough, the congh of dyspeptic per¬ sona, as weU aa that originattog from chronic laryngitis, will, probably, be more materiaUy benefited from its use than tbe true consump¬ tive cough.   And the great aecref of auoceaa with this remedy ia, tbat patients who have been troubled wilh cough for a long timo, are generaUy prone to conaider the lungs at fault, and that there may exist a lurktog dispoaition to consumption; hence, whenev¬ er a cough of any ktod is removed under the tofluence of this mixture, it receives the praise and support of the cnred todividual, as an infaUible remedy for consumption.
As to the precedtog case, the advertiser fumiahes the mixture to those who desire It, and as the Cannabis todica is rarely to be found, except among the druggists to large cltiea, the demand from conntry people un¬ doubtedly renders it a profitable speculation. Tbe sugared preparation known aa " Watte' Antidote," was ascertataed to contain strych¬ nia aa ils active medicinal principle, but of late, the extract of Cannabis todica haa been added to it, and persons may sometimes bs seen ta our cities and towns, who walk the streets to a state ot intoxication produced by the above medictae, whioh they are uatog for aome real or ima^aiy disease. To say the least ot Dr. Watts' Antidote, it is a dangerous remedy, entirely unfit for popular use, and we are glad to observe that the periodicals of the day are condemntog it.
the pubUo at a small expenae, ao that as far as the recipe diacloaea, their trae worth can be readUy determined, without any fear of imposition, adulteration, or other base trick¬ eries of charlatanism.
TEEE8 IN THE CITY, .
Of aU graoefnl, agreeable, refreshtag orna¬ ments, none oan be comparedjto the trees in a city. Bvety peison feels their pleasant in¬ fiuence, and there are very few who, when onoe accustomed to them do not miss them, even ta streets enriched with the most splen¬ did arehilectnral ornaments, where they are wanttag. In fact we are almost tempted to believe thai trees—or the sight of them— constllule like air and sun-light a national necessity of human-nature. It doea not aeem that people can be taleUeotuaUy healthy who never see trees.
Science haa ot lale years, dissipated muoh of the old fashioned apprehension that trees are unhealthy. We do not beUeve it—not. even ot the ailanthna. On the contrary, we bave fnU faith that the benefit whioh they oonfer on the eyes alone, tnUy balances every other defect attributed to them. Where peo¬ ple cannot get works of art, let them have trees and flowers—ta tact they shonld never be without either. Any man who wiU stndy them as they deserve, ta his old moments, wiU find himself more advanced ta art and tatelllgenoe than he had ever supposed him¬ self capable of becomtog.
By aU means plant treea, and when you have done ao.take good oare ot them. Of late years, atoce every lubberly Idiot near the oity haa taken to ahooting eveiythtag that flies, birds have become scarce. Even ta the squares, the Uut toueh of deatratlon has been pnt to them by aquirrels, and to consequence, worms devour the leaves of several varieties of trees. But if every man who owna a tree wIU only have it attended to, he can greatly diminish this peat. The Itoden worma, it is said, WiU not molest a tree, it il be wiU wash¬ ed once or twice with a hose during the time that they, or rather their pareuta, infest it ta the form of a small white moth; while the cocoons of other varieties ot tasects, which bang oonspicuoualy aU wtoter long on the boughs, can be removed without troubling any gardener.
Treea are, therefore, a trouble; yea, a UttleJ and yet we should be aorry to see our oity wiihout them. We cannot analyse the feel- tag, but we cannot resist the conviction that they ahonld exist wherever there are child¬ ren. Children and trees go as naturaUy to¬ gether as lovers and moonUght. Trees make a great impression on the youthful mtad, and always play a greal part ta aU early associa¬ tions. How many are there among our rea¬ ders In whoae minds some " old tree" doea not figure among the joys and aorrews of early Ufe. Listen to the next old gentleman you hear talkmg about bis boyhood, and ten to one he wiU not have gone far before he comes to an old tree. They are great insti¬ tutions, those old treea, and though our city is very well shaded as it is, we only wish that we had more ot them.
We have often wondered if it would nol be possible lo plant the elm more in our atreets. There are several ot the larger trees which grow to advantage, particularly in the more retired poriions of the city, where no one would grudge them the room they oc¬ cupy, and where they might-'spread them¬ selves up lo the size ot the California Wel- lingtonett Gigantea, if they felt so disposed. We fear that much of the amall ware ta the way of treea, which is at preaent aprinkle^- about ao libersUy, wiU not outlast our own times. We would Uke lo have those who are to come after us say, a century hence, look upon ua as men of enlarged ideas, wilh souls above buttons, and up at least to "buttonwoods." There ia aomelhing high-toned and large-mtaded to planting large trees for the benefit of posterity.— Moreover, what It the old Slavonian auper- stlllon ahould be true, that the souls ot the dead rest amid the leaves of the frees which they have planted while alive on earth, and that those who never planted any trees are obUged to go flying about with never a chance to settle down In peace f How, ta such a case, would some of those people fare whose highest exploits In the planting line consisted ot aetttog a geranium In a pot ?— What a poor roost that wonld be for a re¬ apectable man, whom nothing short of a first-class banian tree would satisfy it he could have his wIU! In short, we hope to see every part of the town decently shaded- " He who plants trees," says a noble old pro¬ verb, "loves others besides himself."
'' GBASP ALL-roSE ALL.'
Two boys, when  wandering ta the field's
found a partridge's neat ta a cornfield near a
wood.   They came suddenly upon it, and
succeeded in seouring both the eggs and the
mother  bird.   No sooner had they got it
than they began to quarrel over it.    They
agreed that one should have the eggs and
the other the bird, but both wished to have
tbe bird.
From words they proceeded to blows, and
during the almggle the hen partridge eacap-
ed, and in their fury they trod on the eggs
and  broke eveiy one of tho egga, go that
when they atopped flghling from fatigue and
want of breath to carry on the battle, there
was nothtog left to fight about.
"Father waa right," said one of the boya,
looktog sadly at the broken eggs, "when
he aaid to na the olber day, " Grasp aU—lose
all."   If we had not quarreled, and greedily
desired loo muoh, we shonld each have had
something, and now we have lost both bird
and egga."
"Tho covetous who strive for more, Oft loBe tho wealth they gained heforo."
" Something to pan away the Time."
"I want aomelhing,to help me pass away the time." Is It possible, my dear friend, I have heard you aright! Yon, with youth, healtb, energy,—you, npon whom the Father of mercies has bestowed so many blessinga, complaining of weariness, ennui.' Pardon me then, when I say, if this be the case you must bave sadly mistaken tbe aim ot life— you mnst have buried thoae talents to tbe earth that God has given you, that you may do good with them. Tell me not that yon have no influence, or talents. You may not be gifted wilh genius, or wealth, or beauty, or exlraordtoory abUitiea to any way,—but it ia impossible for any human betag lo live with others wiihout exerting an tofluence over them for good or for evU. Your lime, your health, youth itselfi are talents for wbich you are accountable to the Giver.— " No man livetb to himself," and if yon at¬ tempt lo do so you will meet the reward, even to thia world. In the form ot languor, wearineaa of life, the todifference of those aronnd yon. It you would experience true happiness yourself, you must strive to make others happy.
Do you ask what you can do tor such an end ? If you had wealth, you aay you would know bow to apply it for this purpose,—you would clothe the naked, feed the hnngiy, and "cause the widow's heart to stag for joy."— Bnt you have what Is infinitely more valua¬ ble than wealth,—sympathy, affection, ktod worda, pleaaant smUea. Theaa are common thtoga, yon answer; ao they pe,—and so are the flowers, the sunUght, tbe song of birds, the ripple of the waters. Go forth and read the leason whioh
"He, whose dearest uame le Love," has written for your instrnciion upon the page ot Nature. Whenever you go, t^trj with yon the sunsbtae of love. Let it bright¬ en yonr home with a light as froO^eaven. The chUdren, the servants, the house-dog, even the cat that purrs upon the hearth should be partakers of its blessed Influenoe. Never, tor an taatarj^llbw youraelf ta what are caUed " company mannera,"—let your smUe be as cheerful and as frequent for every inmate of yonr home as for the most honored guest. Never, cause a needless grief to the heart of chUdhood. Remember that He who. on earth folded the Utile ones so tenderly to His arms and blessed them, loves them atUl; and every wound inflicted on the aensltive hearts of the lambs ot Hia flock. He looks upon as given to Himself, What though it coal you some self-denial lo leave the favor¬ ite book, the interesting employment, to share wilh them their joys and sorrows, or to satisfy their curious questioning ! Will nol the pleaaure of aeetog them happy amply re¬ pay the trifltog sacrifice ?
And oh, be ktod lo the aged 1 They have seen the friends ot earUer years pass before them toto the valley of the shadow,—aud what a cordial to the wenfy heart la the res¬ pect, the kindly sympathy, the affection of the yonng. Do not count any service for them a weariness—the time may come when you, too, wiU know the loneliness of age, and long for tbe gentle soothing of those who stand where you now stand in the sprtog- lime of existence Visit the sick; comfort the orphan ; read the pages ot Holy Writ to the blind and the Inflrm ; sympathize wilh the wayside wanderer, and pity the errtog,— let there be a fountain of love, In your heart drawn from the great Source and'Centre ot aU Love, and let its refreshing influence be felt by aU wilh whom yon meet, and I prom¬ ise you that you will never more exclaim, wearily,—"Oh, for something to pass away the time !" nor wander vamly in quest of happiness,—" for ye sbaU be the chUdren ot your Father which is in Heaven," and his peace shall be wilh you forevermore.—AnA Vekso.v.

Ants asd thkih Cows.—The cmming ants keep cowB in their stables. Almost every ant-hill, belonging to one variety, has a bee¬ tle in it, who Ures, rears a family, and dies among them, a weloome and honored com¬ panion. When the ants meet him, they stroke and caress him with their antennse ; in retnm he offers them a sweet liquid that oozes out under his wings, and of whioh the little topers are passionately fond. So great is their attachment to the old confectioner that they seize him, in times of danger, and carry him off to a plaoe of safety; the con¬ querors of an invaded nation spare the sweet beetle, and, what is more surprising, his maggot aui chrysalis, though themselves are utterly useless, are as safe among their wise hosts as if they possessed the luciouB honey. Other ants, again, keep countless asphides, that sit ou tba teoder green leaves of juicy plants, as on green meadows, and suck away so luBtUy that their delicate little bodies swell like udders of cows on rich spring pasture. At that season the ants have to feed their young with more delicate food than their own; they stroke and caress their tiny milch cows, gather the nutricious liq- ! uid that pours forth under their sagacious treatment, and carry it, drop by drop, to their nurseries.
