He moves upon this earth of ours, As if it were a bed of f owers-j His aoe it is o wondrous fair, The smile jpf heaven seems resting there, i His eyes oh! bow chall I paint his eyes? ' ; .

We raise our thanks from day to day, That God did send along' this way, His messenger with samg grace, To a wicked lost and ruined race, Who are limbing on to meet their fate Heedless of their guilty state. Though his absence we sadly regret, 'His words we cannct forget. 44 hosoeyer cometn unto me Blessed with eternal life shall be,' " Oh! in our hearts that ' whosoever, Shall hve ' forever, forever, foraveri MaV choicest blessings flow Around him wherever he may go ; May his life be the sunshine of glad- . ness Unfettered by care cr sadness ; His friends in number as leaves cn - the trees, Or as the sdnd upon the Seas !

ThtngsTare hot; nseleabec:iue ' overv one does not see their utili w m Read. , One of the first steps fo be ta ken in seif-improvement. is to try as hard as the sc?l f-teach er can to understand every word he feads td as a eonpeqtiiiceT to put away all iKKiks and all wnteia that eamiot understand.

Suh 1 writers themselves, too- it niay le adksl, do not always fxprws5 clearly what they wish to i-onvey, ami therefore are ohscureLWonlv and dry to tl e.hunihle. stijnfelt. Th : duty of the selfeducutor, there fore, is to seizeeager-y ihjnt which hie doei understand, and to nuur ish his niirid with it, and to reject that which he cannot comprehend, to defer it till he shall be able to master it. How- to read a book is a much heaviertastc than many take it to le. From 'careless rea ders we have now maiiy careless writers; but where the book is good itdeserves to be well treated. Une -niay take it also as a tact. that the, reader really takes ip, a ! book to use it, not to gallop j throuffn it. It is well tliat lie think over the. should read and title page, acquaint himself if he can with tome little Uistorv of the author, some hint as heistrufttwortlu-i.r b to whether used. Then he should carefully Head the pre face and master ' the dea tint the author had when he wrote ilif lM)ok. He should then glance over the contents look atthe .-ub-divisiou of chapters ami flnally read tlie book if he clpose; to do so.' This, which may seem a ruindal)out Way to some, in reality t)ie sliortest way. Some hooka; says Lord Bacon, are to he tatted, some read ami digested. Suppose the work is of the cm mon class, without any thought in it. The telf-improver will save all his time by a preliminary study ; oftentimes the title wiil tell liim all he want to know; more often, the title, jtlre preface and table of contents will assure him that he has little to learn, ami he will put aside the! hook and pass on to worthier food. For books are like men eometi tnes their prefaces ami addresses are by tar tie worthiest parts of theiu. As the reader progresses in his studies and gains in' experience, he -will -find that there grows up to him almost an intuition, by which h can tell, in ia very few pages at least, a bad, eniptv and pretetitious 'nxik fnm one that will inform ami render him wiser. 9 Taking Wild Horses j !
