0 ! \ViIA'l‘ ARE E—A-IlTII’B FLOWERS.

0 ! what are earth‘s ﬂowers ? A perishiog race,

\Vhose brightness the beams Oflhe mid-day efface;

The autumn wind sweeps thetn, So brief is their stay.

Like dews of the morning, Forever am y !‘

And what are earth's pleasures? Alas ! they are frail

As the reed that is broken By summer’s soft gale.

Like the ﬂowers they wither And die. are the light

Which awoke them to beauty Is shrouded in night. ‘

The j yrs of our childhood. Though ﬁrst to depart.

Are purest and brightest, And ﬁx on the heart—-

A light which we daze on In long after years.

Like the smile of an infant When seen through its tears !

It is dear to look back To do days which were ours, \thn Ilnpe, promise laden. Cast round us her flowers ; For they smile on life‘s g‘ootn. Like the sun beam, when thrown 0n the iceberg that lloats Through the Cold sea alone.

In the following lines, which are. said to be found inscribed upon the tomb- stone onyrus, the founder ofthe Persian Empire, We may read the end of worldly pomp and glory :

When Lady I—Iuntingtion became the subject of Divine grace, her change of mind was soon observed by her exalted associates, who endeavoured in vain to turn her aside frqu the path she had choseﬁ.‘ One day, at court, the then Prince of Wales asked Ladv Charlotte E—, “ where is my Lady Huntingdon; that she is so seldom here;” The lady of fashion replied, with a sneer, “ I sup- pose, praying with her beggars.” 'l‘he

rince shook hie head, and said, “ Lady Charlotte, when] am dying, Ithinkl shall be happy to seize the skirt of Lady Huntingdon’s mantle, to carry are up with her to heaven.” 0

Indian ladies lie on a sofa, and, if they drop their handkerchief, they just lower their voices and sev, “ Boy,” in a very gentle tone, and then creeps in perhaps some old wizen skinny brownie, looking like a superannuated threadqteper, who twiddles after them fore little while, and then creeps out again as softly as a black cat, amt sits down cross-legged in theverandub till “ mistress please to call again.”

As the entire conquest of our passions appears so ditlicult a work to some, I , wottltljdvise those who despair of it, to ’ "attempts less diﬁiculttask. and only to their endeavors to regulate them.

EARLY Mtanuoas ix Barr's-— Mr Cooley,in noticing the customs of the , present race of Egyptians, says—“ It is singular how very young the Egyptian peasants marry. Nine or trtt years for girls, and lwrlve or tilieen years for boys considered t ntarringeable age. Both sexes have so little. objection to the inur- riago state, that they get married as soon as possible. Being once married is only a beginning of matrimonial connection in Egypt. Three or four wives n piece among thegrcasants is the most common thing in the world. In addition to wait-h there are almost constant and continual changes. ()Id wires are being divorced, and nowoncs are taking their places: so that the tnatrimonial ceremony, in come ofits various forms, is almost con- tinually passing before thcir eyes, and in- termingles, as it were, with their daily uvocntions.”

There was no fun in those days for young folks.”

Love ,ose Amman—A Welsh person preaching from this text, " Love one another,” told his cnng‘rﬂ- ggetiou, that in kind and respectable treatment to our fellow creatures, we were inferior to the brute creation. As an illustration of the truth ofthis remark, be quoted an imtattce ol'two goats in his own paridr, that once met upon abridge so very narrow, that they could not pass by without one thrusting the other into the river.
