Choice Passages.
BY L. K. I .''..
Ah! tho past is the true source of confi
dence. Wo must recollect together before
we can confide.
The love which was restrained for the liv
ing defies control when aroused for the
dead. . .
The living console themselves by the ho
nors which they pay to the dead; and yet
this self-decoit is not all in vain. Every feel
ing that looks to the future elevates human
nature; for lifo is never so low or so little
as when il concentrates itself on the present.
Tho miaarable wants, the small desires! and
the nettv Dleasurcs of dailv existence have
Domini? in common with those nviriitv
dreams which, looking forward for action
and action1 reward, redeem tho . earth over
whfh fhotr ufiitls twith mtonm Ijbn lnnn nton
angel, benoatli which, spring up glorious and
immortal flowers. The imagination is man's
noblest and most spiritual faculty; and that
ever dwells on tho to-como.
4 Whom the eocls lovo die vounc." is one
of the truths taught by tho old Greek poets
thoso poets half sage, half ssor. And
mcthinks, that though teats aro shed abuu
dantly when tho coffin-lid presses down some
fair and bright head, wo wero wiser did wo
keep those tears for the living. Let the
young perish in their hour nf promise how
much will they bo spared! passion, that
kindles but lo consume tho heart, and leaves
tacincy or regret, n rum or a desert; ambi
tion, that ouly reaches its goal to find it
worthless when giined, or but the starting
placo for another fuvurmh race, doomed
again to end in disappointment; enemies
that cross us at evo-y step, fiicnds that de
ceive and what friends do not? the blight
ed nopes, tho Imbittcreu toeling, tho wasted
powers, tho remorse, and tho despair all
these are spared by the merciful, the early
grave.
It is a painful thing to think how the pu
rest and dearest tie that can exist that
which binds tho parent to the child; and
the child to the parent is doomed to sever
by the very course of nature; that a new and
vivid emotion will inevitably enter the heart
of youth and before that emotion, how
cold and faint seems all that was held pre
cious before 1 And yetso in extricably blend
ed are happiness and sorrow on earth, that
fortunate, thrice fortunate, are they who have
such ties to sever.
The memory of what others have suffered
makes us tremble for ourselves.
There is something in human nature that
shrinks from any great cliaage, even though
that change bo for the better. Alas! all ex
perience shows us how little dare we trust
our fate.'
It is said that the name of love is often
taken in vain, compelled to stand godfather
to feelings with wh'cli he hns nothing to do.
and mado answerable for all the faults and
follies which interest, vanity, and idleness
commit whilo masquerading under such sem
blance. Wit is just as much put upon
blamed for a thousand impertinences over
which it would not have held for a moment
its glittering shield; it is like tho radiant fai
ry doomed to wander over earth, concealed
and transformed, and only allowed on rare
occasions to shine forth in its true and spark
ling form. It is well that wit is an impalpa
ble and ethereal substance, or it must long
since have evaporated in indignation at that
peculiarly wretched and mistaken race, its
imitators.
Of all the melancholy days consecrated to
the memory of the dead, perhaps the most
mournful the onejarring most immediately
fcy strong contrast with its predecessors is
the day when the coffin has been carried
from the house, and the light of heaven ad
mitted through the recently darkened win
dows. Every object looks so unfamiliar.
We have become accustomed to the dim at
mosphere and tho long shadows, they seem
ed to sympathize with us. Now, the cheer
ful sun looks in mockingly; we rejoico not
in the face of day; it brings not hope, but
memory to our minds; and we only watch
the gladdening beams to think that they aro
shining on tho narrow grave.
B7 P. G. R. JAMES.
Sorrows. All accidental sorrows may be
dwelt upon with calmness, or recollected
with gratitude to Him who sent them; the
sorrows that sprang from ourselves preserve
their unmitigated bitterness.
HiPriNKss. Happiness! that glorious
crown which all the jewels of the world cm
not enrich: which, studded with tho dia-
. monds of the heart, can receive no addition
al lustre from such paltry things as power, or
wealth, or station.
Dress. Nor is dress, in general, altogoth
er unworthy of attention". Somebody has
called it tho habitual expression of a man's
mind: and though 1 cannot agree to that dc
finition in tho full sense, yet certainly, where
there is no impediment to his following his
own wishes, a man s dress allot ds strong in
dications of lasto and habits of thought.
Tjik Heart and the World. Oh, how
Lard it is, when the mind like a young bird,
has soared forth at liberty into the face of
heaven, and tried its wing at largo among
all the joyous things of nature, to be called
back to the close cage of the dull world's
doings, tho meannesses, which form the
bars that prison in the heart.
, An English gentleman, travelling the
county of Kilkenny,, came to a ford, and
hired a boat to take him across. The water
being rather more agitated than was agreea
ble to him, he asked tho boatman if any
person was ever lost in the passage. 'Nev
er,11 replied the boatman, "my brothor was
drowned here last week, but wo iound him
next day.11
' JIe "who makes an idol of his interest,
makes a martyr of his integrity.
From Neal'i Saturday Gazette.
A Sad Story.
The subjoined melancholy tale from the
Frankfort correspondence of the Miysvlllc
Eagle, is but one of many; but perhaps it
may serve as a caution to the young and un
experienced. " There is pending a very exciting question
for a divorce. The petition is presented by a
young lady, about sixteen years of age, of
very respectable family, who, by some singular
accident, conspiracy or folly, was induced to
run off with a man doublo her age of cha
racter infamous, without properly, profession
or vocation of any kind so when she awoke
from her delusion, and found herself wedded
to infamy and poverty that in the placo of
tho Irank, plausible, intelligent, woalthy and
loncs; man, she supposed shs was giving liar
hand and innocent urLctioiu to, she plighted
her faith to the loathsome inmate of a brothel,
a debauchee, a drunkard and a beggar. Her
confidence gone, her love turned to loathing
and disgust, she returned, repentant, to her
injured and heart-broken pirout he pitied,
forgave and took back his deluded child, and
she sjeks a divorce- '.he husband opposes it.
Counsel are employed by bis friends, to op
pose before tho committee, tho granting the
prayer."
Hundreds of such cases are continually
occurring; but tho warning thus Conveyed,
is almost in iperativc, as those who need the
admomtiou are as yet too inexperienced in
the ways of the world, to believe that it ad
dresses itself to them. They understand tha
terrible truth too late; and they nra left, per
haps, for lilo to mourn over their fatal error,
It is hard to teach distrust to tin ciufiling
heart. It saems, indeed, an ungrateful task
to contend against that generous reliance
which youth reposes in a plausible appear
ancc; but yet it is imperative that it should
03 tutored, to some degree, at loast,tosusp3ct
its own judgment, and to seek tho ndvico of
older heads. 1 lie boy m ty commit mistakes,
and retrieve them. It is for him to learn his
wisdom in tho hard schools of life; and na
ture qualifies him to rise the stronger from
every overthrow. But tho gentle and affec
tionate girl once deceived, as in the instance
recorded above, has. for tha most part, m ule
shipwreck of her happiness, and is left to
mourn until sorrow brings her prematurely
to the grave. -And is there no means to
shield her from the insidious approaches of.
the unworthy? (Jan sho not be secluded
from the dangers which besst her and which
so often tempt to alliances replete with
misery? It may probably be answered that
in a state ot society like ours, which ren
ders a complete supervision of associates
almost impossible, and admits of so great a
freedom of intercourse that parents rarely
know when danger is near, protection seems
to be attainable but in one way :h it of such
thorough confidence from the earliest years,
between parents and child, that there shall be
no concealments, and that almost every
thought may be in common. Such a relation
ship is perhaps the best surety which can be
found; and it creates a' habit of appeal on
every emergency, a disposition to seek
advice from the " nearest friend," and to bo
guarded by it, which is, after all, the effuc
ti've shield. M What will my mother thiiik
what will my father say f When questions
like these are made habitual among the
youthful, by the unwearied sympathizing
kindness of parental affection, how could a
stronger and more effective barrier bo thrown
about thorn? It may sometimes, indeed, fail;
but yot, as personal guardianship is not al
ways practicable, the best reliance presents
itself in mutual confidence, and in an abhor
rence of all concealments. Let there be
no reservations no " secrets." There should
he none in family intercourse. Fur better
would it be for happiness if the word " secret"
were mado to bring with it an impression, if
not of criminality, at ttsast of something that is
reprehensible and skulking from tha light.
Where secrets exist, danger is not far oil. It
is an invitation to dingor.
How to be Waited Upon. The follow
ing story, from the Mirror, may be called
the last Yankee trick:
"We heard a story worth recording, a
Yankee variation of an expedient tried some
years ago by an Englishman at Saratoga.
John cull, in that instance, ufier calling in
vain to the flying attendants at the crowded
table, splashed a handful of silver into his
plate, and handed it to a waitor, with a re
quest for " a clean plate and somo soup."
A Massachusetts Judge, probably remember
ing this, drew a gold piece from his pocket
last week while silting hungry at the stripped
table at Washington, and tapping his tumbler
with il ti!i he attracted attention, laid it be
side his plate, and pointed to it wmlo he
mentioned what ho wanted, iio was mira
culously snoplied of course, but, when he
had nothing more to ask, ho politely thank
ed the waiter, and returned the gold piece
to At own pocket!"
Eastern Anbcdote. As a women was
walking, a mau looked al her and followed
her.-
"Why do you follow me?" asked the
woman.
"Because I have fallen in rovo with you!"
was the reply.
" Why are you in love with me?" said the
woman.. "My sister is much handsomer;
sho is coming after me; go and make love
to her.77
The man turned back, and saw a woman
with an ugly face; being greatly displeased,
he turned to the first woman, and said
" Why did you tell me a filsehood?"
" Neither did you speak tho truth," replied
the woman; "for if you wera really in love
with me, why did you leave me to look upon
my sister?"
(fcj- Feed the earth, and she will feed
you; act liberally towards her, and she will
liberally reward you. It is vain to try to
cheat her. If you give her little, you need
not look for much; she will yield but little.
