Smiles! how divine upon the lips of sleeping infancy! How beautiful upon the rosy mouth of coy maidenhood. How lovely «a they dimple the cheek of the happy matron. How sublime, overspreading the brow ot intellect. What heav en-like peace they lay upon the couotenanoe of age, lifting the thoughts far above earth and its cares, telling the soul of an abiding rest far, far away. How comtorting, how cheering are smiles? Are the tender fibres of the heart stretched upon the rack of painT How grand b the martyr-like smile of endurance. Is the soul assailed and tortured by cares? How sweet the smile of re signation. Is the heart filled with happinessf The earth contains not a more beautiful thing than a human face beaming with smiles of hap piness. And yet smiles can be repulsive, as poisonous plants bear gaudy rank flowers, so wick ed men wear death-bearing smiles—“a man may smile and be a villain.” How heart-rending is the faint sickly smile which forms a mask for misery. How terrible the smile of desperation— how hateful that of deceit—how appalling the dark gleaming stiletto smile of revenge. Oh how surpassing fair is the bliss-fraught smile of love. What is more dear'to our hearts than the fond approving smile of the one nearest and dearest to us? • Flowers are said to be the language of angels wherewith they write peace and good will to earth, and surely smiles are the angels wherewith kind heaven rewards poor struggling hearts tha^ have obtained a victory over temptation and sin. How sweet to the wanderer is the smile of welcome as he nears the home that for years has not known his presence. How like gushes of sunshine upon hills of snow is the smile of pity and affection to the hardened world-worn heart. How sweet to the wretched poo' is the beam ing face of charity—how hallowed the hand wMch distributes alms to its suffering fellow crea tures; great is the reward—bright will be the smiles which will accompany those precious words, ‘‘well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy which thy Lord hath pre pared for thee.” -Beautiful are smiles, but heay- en-tinted are those that play upon the face of charity. Of a surety all good works are approv ed, but thrice blessed is she that smooths the pillow of suffering, that breathes the voice of love and pardon into the ears of the erring one. Bright is the form whose shadow falls athwart the threshold of gaunt poverty and loathsome disease and dupels the fear of death and destitution. Earth cannot present a fairer picture than that of a lovely Christian woman walking among the narrow alleys of poverty and decay, speaking words of comfort, giving alms freely with smiles of pitving love. Verily the flowers spring up in her loot-prints, the fair beds of the human heart; the desire to b* pure, holy and useful is inspired into hitherto de sponding hearts; love of and of mankind it implanted, dying faith Ls renewed and strength ened, sorrow is removed from eyes that were dim with weeping, the wing of transient pleasure casts its shadow on faces that whilome were distort ed with pain and where murmurings and bitter in vectives and oftentimes mad ravings pierced the air. Praises and thanksgiving, mingl^ with fer vent blessings, are ascending to heaven. Beau tiful is charity and lovley are all her ways, her presence gives rest to the weary, her voice is sweet music to the desolate, her approach sheds sun. light on the darkened soul. Oh! may we all, in the dread hour that calls us to behold the face of a merciful but just Examiner—at the awful tri bunal where we must all hear our final doom pro nounced by one too wise to err—may we see, il luminating the face of a God and Father, that precious, priceless boon, the smile of approbation. AIRIECHAU8KA. The Ladies in the HospitaU.—At the White Sulphur Springs, in Virginia, there is a large hospital for the the sick and wounded soldiers. A gentleman writing from that place thus des cribes the influence of the ladies in the hospitals: “The influence of the ladies here is seen and felt by all. Until they came—if I am oorreotlj informed—the hospitals more resembled a vast charnel house than the home of the sick. But woman came, and soon all was changed. The wards were cleaned, the rooms ventilated, and the sick provided with suitable nourishment, those little delicacies such only as they can prepare. My admiration for the sex could but be increased as I saw their fair forms flitting through the halls —now standing by the bedside of one, all silent —now laying her white bands on the brow of an other. Here a kind and there a tender look. A light finger softly presses the arm—tbe hot, blood stained dressing is soon replaced by a bet ter—the sick man gives a gentle 'thanks, turns upon his side, and sinks into a quiet rest. Day by day, night by night, unremitting in care, un wearied in watching, so cheerful in mien and gen tle of hand, these ladies perform their angelio duties.” A Tbe Xew Style, Small, COLORED PHOTOGRAPHS, AT VaMorMdcirs Gallerjr.
