Having discharged a thiev- ing clerk, 1 was so connnea to my store that a journey jto lndia nnnlia.was out of the Iquestion. I was rowing almost wild to see one whom all praise so many wished me to wed. : i ; . ,.; In a few days after the call ot my legislative 'friend , his brother, a noted judge, appeared, at my store.

Limited irom my .stOTe the last batch of chronic loungers, and. selected the best stationary in my establishment, I was going to write my first letter to Kate. Such a reply as I received !- Well you must hear it. I have good gas works, but am iiiudoqiiato. i In o brief timo we learned that each knew the other Well.

What if some one were to cut me out at the eleventh hour ? With such: love what would become of me ?j I was determined to own her, even if 1 did not see her for a decade. 'An idea dawned a brilliant one. j It was to compass a speedy niarrage and satisfy her thirst tor romance. After a flood ot ten deruess, ot dramatic preparation, I wrote, , niy adored one, let us depart, from this stale routine aud wed by telegraiih.' The idea took her by storm.

There in iull. bloom, two unseen -.. lovers were to be made man and' wife. The instrument began its tick, tick, ticking.

The lady was also married, for I heard a lady call her madam. 4 How she eyed me ! I spoke about the coach windows being raised to suit her. She thanked me in tones that acted like an arterial' stimulant. I was e-one. Much conversation followed and I was gone. 1 saw- she was giving me sweet, yet pleading looks. Heavens, thought I, she is unhappily . mated. kup puse I give her my sympathy if Yet should I yet jeopardize my self before such .transcendent charms ? Suppose I; betray my love, how would I feel in tin presence of my wife, and what power could I confer upon a total stranger? I had it, I would be tray nothing but offer consolation to a flower most surely neglected.

Young men and boys, who think they are too old or too smart to attend Sunday school, should consider one or two points worthy of their attention : 1. ll?v do the youns: men and boys of their iicipjaiiifance, wlu loaf about the street and s;o off on pleasure excursions on the Sabbath, compare with those who are faithful in their attendance at Sunda scno(d, tor general intel ligence good character and trust Worthiness. 2. Who turn out to be the best students, clerks ami apprentices - those who refuse the privileges ami advantages '.of the Sus d ?y school, or those who aroastrue to their several classes as the dial is to the sun ? 3. Who can command the best recommenn itions when they need work tliose who prefer wander insr about the streets or in the woods on the Sabbath, or those who prefer to do their walking when it will not interfere with teeir Sundav school duties ? 4. Who are the most trustwor thy men in the Community those who honor the Sabbath, or those who dishonor it bv huntinsc, fishing, suilinsr ' and lounging anout ou iue uay-ui-i esc ana wor ship ? '. . - - Vast ..numbers of silly young men and ioys in agine that the restraint of the" Sunday school docs not comport with freedom and 'manliness. They think it is well enough for small boys and for girls, even for young ladies, to ji.rt.ftnd- school reirularlv everv j u Sabbath, but rounjr 'men must have a b.oa ler margin to move in. Sot I icy torieit the splendicl chances ottered to them for intel lectual, 'moral and spiritual cuU t u i e. What a pi ty ! -hnstian Gbctrcer. Religion Liberty. The following story is said to have been written by the Persian poet, Saadi, about five hundred years ago : , 44 When "Abraham sat at his tent-door, according to his cus tem, yaiting to entertain stran gers, he dspied air old man stoop ing and leaning on his staff, wea ry with age and travel, coming towards him, who was an hundred ears of age; He received him kindly, and washed his feet, pro vided suDotr. caused him to sit 11. down.;' but observing that the old man ate and prayed, not, nor begged or a blessing on his meat, as ked him w 1 ly ti e d i d n o t wo rs 1 1 i p the Gol ot; lieaveh? The old man told him that he worshiped the fire only aiid acknowledged no other god ; at which answer Abrahani grew so zealously angry, that he thrust the old man out of his tei. t, and exposed him to all the evils of tlu night and an un guarded condition. W hen the old man was gone, God called to him ami asked him where tlH straiiger was; he replied I thrust him away, because he. (lid not woi-slnp the .' God answered, 4 1 have suffered hint these hundred years, though he, dishonored me; sisul toulde t not thou endure him for' one nig; t, vheu he gave thee no trouble V Upon this, Abra ham fetched him back again, and gave him ? hospitable enter tainment, and wise instruction. Go thou and do; likewise ; and thy charity Will be rewarded by the God of Abraham. Many people complain of their bad luck, when they, ought to blame their own want of wisdom and and action. Our Enemies Within. "Beyond all doubt, the "worst of our enemies s.tq those which." we carry iibout in our hearts. -Adam tell in Paradise, Lucifer in heaven, -while.' Lot continued righteous among the people of Sodom. Indifference to little sins and mistakes, the self-flattering voice of the bean, ever ready to sing its lullaby the moment con science is aroused, the subtle question of the serpent,4 Hath indeed said? " these are unques tionably the adversaries we have most to fear. .y . There never was a fire but it began with smokei I beseech you, therefore dear Master, to give me a sensitive conscience, that 1 may take alarm at even small sins. Oh, it is not merely great transgressions which bring a man to ruin. Little and imper ceptible ones ai pjrh ;ip more 'deadly.

Caiador. There is nothing sheds so fino I alight upon the human imind as candor. It was called whiteness j by the ancients to denote its pu rity ; and it has ahvavs won the esteem due to the most admirable of virtues. The mau whose opin ions make the deepest impres sion upon his fellow, man, whose influence is most lasting aud ef ficient, whose friendship is in stinctively sought where all others have proved fakhless, is not the man of brilliant parts, , or flatter- but he whose candor and nigen- ous truth transmit the heart s real feelings pure and without re traction. There arc other quali ties which are more - showy, and other traits that a higher place in world's code gather less tarnish by use, or claim deeper homage in that silent reverence which mihd pays to virtue. y ruithfn! Sentiment. Confess thatincreasing years bring with them an increasing re spect for men who do not succeed in life, as those words are corn mooly used. Heaven is said to be a place for those who have not succeeded upon earth ; and it is surely true celestial graces. do not best thrive aud bloom in the hot blaze of worldly prosperity. I'll success sometimes arises Irom .a superabundance of qualities in themselves good from a con science too sensitive, a taste too romantic, a modesty too retiring. I -viH notfgosq far. as to say, with a living poet, .that "the world knows nothing of its greatest men," but there are forms of 5 greatness, or at least excellence, which .'die and make no sign $ . there are mart vrs that '.miss the.. pitlm but not the stake; heroen .without the laurel, and conqiierers without the triumph. Pravcr Prayer, to make it acceptable, requi res n ri th er geni u eloquence, nor language ; " but sorrow for sins, faith uud humility. It is the . f cry of disti es,. the sense of want, the abasement of cpntrijion,'. the energy of gratitude. It is not an elaborate string-of well-arranged periotls, nor an exercise of ihgeri uity, nor an effort of the memo iy ; but the devout breathing of a tul struck with a sense of its own" rniserv and of the holiness of Him to whom it 13 addressing; experienced of its own emptiness, and of the abundant iiniuess vi God: 1 ' '. ! r"' ' Did Chris die, and shall sin live ? ,Wa3 he crucified to the a worldand 'shall our affections to the world be quick and lively?
