The Printer's Song.
(FROM 'HUOHB's SELECT POETRY.')
Pbint, comrades, print ; a noble task
Is the one we gladly ply ;
'Tib ours to tell to all who ajs k
The wanders of earth and sky.
We watch the thought, all glowing warm
. As it leaves the student's brain,
And place the stamp of enduring form
On the poet's airy strain.
. , . . Then let us sing, as we nimbly fling
The slender letters round
A glorious thing is our laboring,-
Oh, where may its like be found ?
Print, comrades, print ; the fairest though1
Ever limned in painter's dream,
The rarest form e'er sculptor wrought
By the light of beauty's gleam,
Though lovely, may not watch the power
Which our proud art can claim
' That links the past with the present hour,
And its breath the voice of fame.
Then let us sing, as we nimbly fling
The slender letters round
A glorious thing is our .laboring,
Oh, where may the like be found?
Print, comrades print ; God hath ordained
That man by his toil should live ;
Then spurn the charge that we disdain
The labor that God would give !
We envy not the sons of case,
Nor the lord in princely hall,
But bow before the wise decrees
In kindness meant for all.
Then let us sing, as we nimbly fling
The slender letters round
A glorious thing is our laboring,
Oh, where mry the like be found ?
'Tis well to have a Merry Heart.
'Tis well to have a merry heart,
llowever short we stay ; '
There's wisdom in a merry heart,
What'er the world may say 1
Philosophy may lift its head,
And find out many a flow,
But give me the philosophy
That's happy with a strow !
If life but brings us happiness,
It brings us, we are told,
THE WARNING.
A- THRILLING STORY. j
My father, after an absence of three years,
returned to the home so dear to him. He
had made his last voyage and rejoiced to
have reached a haven of rest from the perils
of the sea. During his absence I had grown
from a mere child and baby of my mother's
for I was her youngest, into a rough, and
headstrong boy. Her gentle voice no longer
restrained me. I was often wilful, and
sometimes disobedient. I thought it indica
ted manly superiority to be independent of
a woman's influence. My father's return
was a fortunate circumstance for me. He
soon perceived the spirit of insubordination
stirring within me. I saw by his manner
that it displeased him, although for a few
days he said nothing to me about it.
It was an afternoon in October, bright and
golden, that my father told me to get my
hat, and take a walk yith him. ' We turned
down a narrow lane into a fine open field
a favorite play-ground for the children in the
neighborhood. After talking cheerfully on
her my sainted mother! How my head
reels, as the torrent of memory rushes over
mel I kicked my mother a feeble woman
my mother! She staggered back a few
steps, and leaned against the wall. She did
not look at me. I saw her heart beat against
her breast. . 'O, heavenly Father,' she cried.
'forgive him, he knows not what he does!
The gardener just then passed the door Bnd
seeing my mother pale and almost unable
to support herself, he stopped ; she beckoned
him in. 'Take this boy up stairs 'and lock
him in his own room.' said she, and turned
from me. Looking back, as she was enter
ing her room, she gave me such a look it
will forever follow me it was a look of ago
ny, mingled with the intensest love it was
the lasL unutterable, pang from a heart
that was broken. In a moment I found my
self a prisoner in my own room. I thought,
for an instant, of flinging myself from the open
window,' and dash my brains out, but I was
afraid to die. I was not penitent. , At times
my heart was subdued, but my stubborn
pride rose in an instant and bade me not to
yield. ' The face of my mother haunted me.
I flung myself on the bed, and fell asleep.
I awoke at midnight, stiffened by the damp
nijrht, and terrified with frightful dreams.

by a mass of rocks that stood in the middle
of the field. I replied that I did.
My father owned this land,' said he. 'It
was my play-ground "when a boy. That
fock stood there then. " Tome it is a, beacon,
and whenever I look at it, I recall a dark
spot in my life an event so painful to dwell
upon, that if it were not a warning to you I
should not speak of it. Listen, then, my dear
boy, aud learn wisdom from your father's er
rors.

The Man of Truth.
It requires stern integrity and high moral
courage to withstand the temptations of1
worldly policy and selfishness. "To be!
honest, as the world goes, is to be one picked
out of a thousand." Our will must be con.
formed to the high principles of immutable
justice, or personal integrity cannot be main
tained. "He that walkcth uprightly, walk
eth surely; but he that perverteth his ways
shall be known." AH persons must encoun
ter difficulties ; to overcome them is the pre
rogative of the pure and just. They who
enterthc furnace in faithfulness to themselves
and the highest virtue, shall not miss the
form of the fourth in the flames, but shall
come forth unharmed, as the Babylonish
captives were delivered through the infinite
ly greater calamity of apostacy. , For turn
ing aside from the true and safe path, Jacob
was chastened to the end of his days. Pe

nias are left on record, beacons as powerful
in their doom as they should be powerful to
warn. Man in his best state is weak, and
needs to pray with David, " Let my heart be
sound in thy statute, that I may not be
ashamed. I will walk in mine integrity :
redeem me, aud be merciful to me."
Integrity is a lofty virtue, one that is a
prime element in every trustworthy charac
ter. Solomon says "A faithful witness will
not lie ; but a false witness will utter lies."
A true man is moved neither by smiles nor
frowns, neither pecuniary gain nor personal
obloquy, to swerve from truth. ' He is actu
