THE DISAPPOINTED. EL.LA. WHBEIJSR WUXJW.- There are sons etiougrh for theTiero. Who dwells on the heights of fame ; I sinsr for the disappointed. For those who missed their am. I Bin? with a tearful cadence For one who stands in the dark. And knows that his last, best arrow Has bounded back from the mark. I sing for the breathless runner, The eaer, anxious soul. Who falls with his Ptrength exhausted Almost in sig-ht of the goal ; For the hearts that break insilence With a sorrow all unknown? For those who need companions. Vet walk their ways alone. There are songs enough for the lovers Who share love's tender pain ; I sing for the one whose passion Is given and in pain. For those whose spirit comrades Have missed them on the way, I smg with a heart o'erflowing This minor strain to-day. And I know the solar system Must somewhere keep in space A prize for that gpent runner Who barely lost the race. Far the Plan would be imperfect Unless it he,ld some sphere That patd for the toll and talent And love that are wasted here. A BOQUET OF THOUGHT. Lavatek says: "He who sedulously attends, pointedly asks, calmly speaks, coolly answers, and closes when he has no more to say, is in possession of some of the best requisites of man." And Swift suggests: "One of the best rules in conversation, is never to say a thing, which any of the company can reasonably wish had been left unsaid." J A I.IK, which U half the truth, is even the worst of lies. Tennyson. Cunnini; signifies especially the habit of or gift of overreaching, ac companied with enjoyment and a sense of superiority. It is associated with small and 41 dull conceit, and with an absolute want of sympathy or affection It is the iutensest rendering of vul garity, absolute and utter, with which I am acquainted. A cunning person seeks for opportunities to deceive; a gentleman shuns them. A cunning person triumphs in deceiving; a gen tleman is humiliated by his success, or, at least, by so much of the success a is (dependent merely on the fat?? hoodl and not on - Rusk in. superiority. - Husk in. d CoLERiixiK divided readers iiUo four classes. The first lie eot;pared to an hour-glass, their reading being as the sand, which runs in and out, and leaves not a vestige behind. The second, he 'said, resembled a sponge, that imbibes everything and returns it in nearly the same state, only a little dirtier. The third he likened to h jelly-bag, which allows all that is : pure to pass away, and retains only the refuse and the dregs. The fourth he compared to the slaves in the dia mond nines of Golconda,who, casting aside all that is worthless, preserve only the pure gem. A dream flitted past the cavern where Fortune was sleeping, and , awoke her from her -i slumber. "Whence comes thou?" asked the god dess. "From a maiden,'' s&id her aerial visitor, "over whose pillow I have hovered all night. I wore the shape of a lover of rank and wealth, who had horses and equipages, and a train of liveried servants. I kneeled and kissed her ''hand, and had just won her consent to be mine, when day broke and I vanished. But the good child will think of me all day long, and be happy." , "My fate is not so happy as thine!" replied Fortune "'Twas - but lately I visited a merchant, and made him prosperous and rich. While I remain ed with him he was contented, but yesterday I turned my face away from him, and he hung himself. "Why should those whom thou visited, feel thy disappearance less? Am not I too a dream?" From the German of Lichter. , I have always pieferred cheerful ness to mirth. The latter 1 consider as an act; the former as a habit of the mind. Mirth is short and transient, cheerfulness fixed and permanent. Those are often raised into the great est transports of mirth, who are sub ject to the greatest depression of mel ancholy; on the contrary, cheerful ness, though it does'; not give the mind such an exquisite gladness, prevents . us from falling into any depths of sorrow. Mirth is like a flash of light ning that breaks through a gloom of clouds, and glitters for a moment; cheerfuluess keeps up a k nd of day light in the mind, and fills it with a steady and perpetual serenity. Addi son. " "As lon; as there are women on the earth, there will be always some thing new to say about them!" ex claimed a belle of the period "I hope they don't think we are much alarmed at the scandalous Jibel, that ten baskets of "chatter were let down from heaven, and the women appro priated nine of them." Twe more carefully we examine the history of the past,the more reason shall we find to dissent from those who imagine that our age has- been fruitful of new social evils. The truth is, that the eyils arej with scarcely an exception, old. That which is new, is the intelligence which discerns, and the humanity which remedies them. Macaulay. Beauty has been appointed by the Deity to be one of the elements by which the human soul is continually -sustained; 'but in order that we may not satiate ourselves with it, and weary of it, it is rarely granted to us in its utmost degree. Rusk in. s The i.essoxs.; of experience, how ever valuable, are sometimes very slow of impressing themselves upon a generous and hasty temperament, which has high ideas of honor and consistency, and rather piques itself on a contempt for self-interest and external advantages. Mrs. OUphant. "Good works may only be beauti ful sins, if they are not aone in the right spirit. Mrs. OUphant. ' Is there record kept anywhere of fancies conceived, beautiful, unborn? Some day will they assume form in some yet undeveloped light? If our bad, unspoken thoughts are registered against us, and are, written in the awful account, will not good thoughts unspoken, the love and tender ness,the pity, beauty; charity, which pass through the breast, and cause the heart to throb with silent good, find a remembrance too ? They say our words, once out of our lips, go travel THE ing in space, reverberating for ever and ever.; If our words, why notour thoughts? If the Has Been, why not the Might Have Been? Roundabout Papers. I - c Strength ! what is strength? Why, my brethren, to make every day of trouble so easy, to us by His power, as to carry us through it. (rod has said, and will stand to it: "As thy day is, so shall thy strength be." Afflictions, even at a distance, will appear very formidable, when viewed by unbelief. Our fears say, Oh, my God, if I come to be tried this or that way, how shall I bear it? But we do not know what we can bear, till the trial comes, and we do not know what strength God can give us or what a strong God he will be. till he is pleased to put us into a furnace of affliction. W hitejield. RELIGION AT HOJIE. It is laughable to see one hunting high and low for his spectacles when they have been shoved over his fore head. But it is not laughable to see Christians hunting for what they call opportunities to honor God, wTiile overlooking such opportunities which they carry with them wherever they go.- A slovenly carpenter was once heard at a weekly prayer-meeting to pray with great fervency for the spread of Christ' sjcause a cause which he disgraced and hindered in his sphere everv time he stood at his work-bench. When he ended his prayer, a Hearty "Amen" came from a servant who put her mistress out of temper a hun dred times a day by her carelessness. A clerk also was there, who, although he taught a-elass in the mission school on Sabbath was always late at his emnlnvfir's storo week davs. lHfi wIiienArPrl " Amenl"tnn qtiHhflmpant wnisperea Amen: too ana ne meant it, so iar as ne Kuew nimseii. x lanv hearer, as she listened, resolved to join the Church. missionary society, and then went home and found unsea sonable fault with her cook. And others also felt warmed to do some thing for Christ who never seemed to have thought that religion, like chari ty, begins at home. The mechanic who is powerful in class-meeting, and weak at his trade is no credit to the cause he professes. The servant who drops tears feelingly at religious ser vice, and drops dishes unfeelingly In the kitchen, has her tendernes alto gether too much on one side. And it is' a poor kind of religion which seeks! his intelleoticljPDportunitits to set others straight, t but overlooks its own ciookedness. S. S. Times. BEGIN RIGHT. As the boy begins, so will the man end. The lad who speaks with affecta tion, and minces foreign tongues that ! he does not understand at school, will be a weak chromo in character all his life; the boy who cheats his teacher into thinking him devout at chapel will be the man who will make religion a trade and bring Christianity into contempt; the boy who wins the high est average by stealing his examina tion papers will figure some day as a tricky politician. The lad who, wheth er rich or poor, dull or clever, looks you straight in the eyes and keeps his answer insde of truth, already counts friends who will last his life and holds a capital which will bring him a surer interest than money. Then get to the bottom of things. You see how it is already as to that. It was the student who was grounded in the grammar who took the Latin prize; it was that slow, steady drudge who practised firing every day last winter that bag ged the most game in the mountain; it is the clerk who studies the specialty of the house in off hours who is pro moted. Your brilliant, happy-go-lucky, hit-or-miss fellow usually turns out the dead-weight of the family by forty-five. Don't take anything for granted; get to the bottom of things. Neither be a sham yourself nor be fooled by shams. To Spur a Jaded Appetite Is one thing, to invigorate and regulate the, digestive organs is another. And yet mere appetizers are constantly mistaken for and are even termed tonics. Hostet ter's Stomach Bitters is on a far higher plane in the category of medical prepara tions, than the so-called tonics which im part a relish for the fco J. These have their use, ;and are estimable, provided they be pure. But the scope of the reme dial operation of the Bitters is far wider. It reforms entirely an enfeebled condition of the stomach, and purifies its juices, if vitiated, as well as promotes their secre tion in healthful abundance. The stom ach having, in conjunction with the liver and the bowels, been regulated, and their natural tone restored through its acency, appetite returns, as a matter of course. Fever and ague, poverty of the blood, and consequent debility, rheumatic ailments, and a tendency to kidney and bladder troubles, are also remedied by it. 'Does your son affect any particu lar school of art?" asked the visitor. "No yes well, he's painting a Bel ladonna for the religious art gallery,' replied the fond mother. There's nothing half so sweet In life - (Next to the joys of home and wife) As fragrant breath, and pearly teeth, With hard and rosy gums beneath And see these charms of which we sing Have from sweet SOZODONT their spring- Jrreproachable.
