The shadows oer lifes pathway Are like the winter clouds 1 1 That fold the crystal Snov -flakes I Within their dusky shrouds Tho dark those storm-clouds hover, "And eold the tempests be, Lo I forms ot HeaVenly beiiity Are falling over thee I i i 1 i The shadows oer, life's pathway 1 Are like the shades that fall, the morniug hreaketh The Earth and Heaven pall. But lo a light is Reaming I hke a curtain drawn The dismal darkness And comes the glorious dawn 1 shadows oer lifes pathway Are like the shades that chace The snhsliine oer the meadow, 1 A light anil dsrkness race 1 For tho a cloivi of anguish Pass oer us in its flight, The sunshine cometh after, And what was dark iS light. Beautiful Extract- The following waif, afloat on the sea of readingj we clip frdm an exchange: We do not know its paternity, but it contains some wholesome truths, beautifully set forth: Men seldom ihink of the great events of death until vhb shadow falls across their own path, hhling forever from their eyes the traces of the loved ones, whose living smiles were the. sunlight of their existence. Death is the great antagonist of life and the cold thought of the tomb is the skeleton of all feasts.

Wo do not want to go through the dark valley, althought its passege may lead to paradise, and, with Charles Lamb, we do not want to lie down in the muddy grave even with kings and princes for our bedfellows. But the fiat of Nature is is inexorable There is no appeal of relief from the grea4 law which dooms us to dust. We flourish and we fade as the leaves of the fotest, and the flower that bloooms and withers in a day has not a frailer hold upon life thac the ghtiest monarch that ever shook the earth with his footsteps. Generations of men appearand vanish as the grass, and the countless multitude that throngs the world to-day. will to morrow disappear as the soft footsteps on the shore.

In the Leau'iful drama of Ion, the instinct of iznniorultfr, so eloquently uttered by the death devoted Greeks, finds a deep response in every thoughtful soul. When about to yield his young existenceas a suer ifi ice to fate hU beloved Clemanthe asks if they shall not meet again, to which he replies They have akcd that dreadful questhn of the hills that look eternalof the clear streams that flow forever of the stars among whose fields of azure my raised spirit hath walked in glory. All were dumb. But while I gaze upon thy living, I feel there is something in love that mantles through its beuty that can do wholly We shall meet again, Clemathe. Uem.en.tos-' The Present is linked to the Fast by dark and' iron through' ahem lutl fine Veins of gold that close inspection only shows.

These fibres have power to make the Past worthy, fair id sink the horizon of tha the night, and reveal the sutt below, when it has risen Upon ahother rpliere: These fibres' bfndling the To-day Rnd Yes- terday are Mementos those of tbe sweet and happy By-Gone, which as fragrant plants having blossomed and wilted into seed-time, i contain the germ that will make them bloonv' again-on other soi. i Mementos like these are supporters ofoOr weakness, guards against temptationthey shine through our surroundin cares and trib- illations as stars through tjic falling storm they are like the dew in the darkness, descen ding on fervid brows and lips touching them with refreshing coolness and strength' for the long To-morrow. 1 Mementos like the ivy creep about the' withering heart, and protect it from the semblance of decay. Though they sustain not its weakness beautify its failirg, and crown its last beatings with ripehess apd a show of' life beyond itself. While they make a par- tial Pactolas of the meret Lybia of existence iliey touch the coming Future with a glow, ing pencil they mirror to the aching, anx-.

ious mind, what will be, by the streamlets whose whimperings suggest love, and sunny-hours trembling with pure emorions, that have been in departed days. They Unearth' the buried casket, and the glitterof its jer els beameth beyoud the Now'. I All or os have Mementos more or Jess all can look baekward, be their path drear or ra-T diant, smooth or rugged now, toward the spot where some cherished eglantine per- fumed the air or where a few remembereiL violets that fewer eyes beheld, were loved by: the softest zephys of the Spring, and breathed, their latest on its sighing bosdmT Thank Heaven for these Mementos in that they cheer and make hope where liop was not -that they lead, though with a sweet delusion, the pilgrim wanderer along, and point him shrines he cannot sefefor thosO he knows are Mementos are not gifts not substance, savw at times not always outward shapes' and form? that we may 'wear above the pulse of our life, and breathe our Itisses 'on, ia hnr- mony of bat they symbtdize. They often1 are event and circumstance. and lime outstanding from all eke, and real ami essential from the happiness they brought-dive dreams and dreaming lives which come rs pictured from within, wheneer our eye turns inwari to the soul.

1 1 Mementos are whatever links our thought onr feelings, our affections, to tlio good, the beautiful, the true the signs of those fatr periods in our life when angels seemed to hedge us round about from ill, and let out spirit glance, beyond it6 clay, Turn we not often to Mementos as lo some sacred words a buried mothers hand has writte-i for our good, that we mayrlearly see our way by thinking what has been. Withj in our chambers oitude, when slats look through its curtain folds, and we have doffed the mask we play our woi Id-part are there no lettters that weead again, however so often read before, and feel their and their truth And from the page that dims through rising tears, seem not some living eyes to look with all the trust and peace they had of yore, till hope rekindle ixi their fancied light Are there no locks of hair, this far outvy--ing purest gold, and that Gugonnos skill to darken, Inch Call up rose-colored phantoms that were being once Does nOf the glossy texture seem to move while in out grasp it retc, as it did when on its smoothness our pale hand in blessing lay, and we essayed to speak farewell Has nbt that tiny glove, that little ringthat po6r attempt of copy Kotil, that volume i whose thoughts twin natures found in of their own an influence on us still a. force upon our fate Sure such Mementos have, and those that only-Re within -the heart1 withal. In the chambers ot our spirit, there are letters-written by no mortal hand tresses that were-never severed; volumes thil no external gve eer gazed upon. But thec and those are similar they bring their healing with them, and they reach that sickness science fails to learn.

Cincinnati Times Jemw. A Wt Story Honesly- Oxk evening a poor, man and his son, a little boy, sat together by the wayside, near the gate of an old town in Germany. The father took a loaf of bread, which be had bought in town and broke it, and gave one half to his boy. 'Not father, said the boy; I 'shall not eat until after you. You have been working hard all day, for small wages to support me, and you must be very hungry4, I thall wait till you are done.

You speak kindly, my son, replied the pleased father, your love to me does me more good than my food and those eyes of yours remind me of your dear mother who has ieft'us, who told you to love me at she used to do: and indebvi, my boy, you have been a great strength and comfort to me, but now that I have eaten the first iflchrscl to please you, it is your turn to eat. Thank you, father; but brake this piece in two, and take you a little more for you see the loaf is not large, and you require much more than I do. I shall diVide the loaf with you, my son, but eat it I shall hot I have abundance and let us thank God for his great goodness in giving us food, and in giving ns what is better still, cheerful and contented hearts. He who gave us the living bread from Heaven to nourish blli immortal sonls, how shall he not give us other food which is necessary to support our mortal bodies The father and son thanked God, and then began to cut the loaf in pieces, to begin their frugal meal. But as they cut one portion of the loaf, there fell out several pieces of gold of great value.

The little boy gave a shout of joy and was springing forward to grasp the unexpected treasure, when he was pulled back by his father. Xky son, my son he cried, do not touch the money it is not ours. But 'vhuse is it, father, if it is not ours I knew not yet to whom it belongs but probably it Was put there by the baker through some mistake. We must inquire. Run.

But, father, interrupted the boy, you are poor and needy, and you have bought the loaf, and then the baker "may tell a lie, and I will not listen to you my boy. I bought the loaf, but I did not buy the gotd in it. If the baker sold it to me in ignorance, I shall not be so dishonest as to take advantage of him. Remember Him who told us to do to others as we would have others to do to us' 1 am poor indeed, but that is no iin. If We share the poverty of Jesus, God's own Son, Oh! let us share also his goodness and his trust in God.

Wc may never be rich, but we may always be honest. We may die of starvation, but Gods will be done, should we die in doing it Yes. my boy, trust God, and walk in his ways, and you shall never be put to sbatne. Now run to the baker and brink him here, and I shall watch the gold until he conies. So the bey ran for the baker.

"Brother workman, said the old man, you have 'made some mistake, and almost lost your money, and he showed the baker the gold, and how it had been found. Is it thine I asked the father, if it is. take it away. My father is very poor, and Silence, my child put me not fo shame by thy complaints. 1 am glad we have saved this poor man from losing his money The baker had been gazing alternetely upon the honest father and his eager boy, and upon the gold which lay glittering upon the gieen turf.

Thou art, indeed, an honest fellow, said the baker and neighbor, D.irid the flax-dresser, the truth when he said thou wert the honestest man in town. Now, I shall tell thee of the gold A stranger came to tny shop three days ago, and gave me that loaf, and told me to sell it cheaply, or give it away to the honest poor man whom I knew in the city. 1 toli David to send thee to me as a customer, this morning; as thou wouldst not take the loaf for nothing, I sold it to thee, as thou knowest for the Inst pence in thy purse and the lotf with all its treasure and certain 'it is not small is thine; and God grant thee a blessing with it. i 1 PALMER it BOYCE II SI CjA J- UR.GEO S. rricK prxit n.

This is the place for real enjoy ment the kitchen, with its bright shelves and its clean white tables, white with time.

The kitchen, with its old easy chair, and broad shining hearth, and with its crackling and azing fire. We do not mean the kitchen in the great house, where servants have en tire control, and the lady of the house never sets her foot within its precincts but tbe homely and comfortable kitchen of the wel) to do man, where the wife and the tea kettle sing together, and the little children prattle round the mother while her own bands set the tal le for tea. There may bo snow in the gieaming, or sun arrows lodging in the top of the trees there may be city walls about, or blue udnulating hills. It matters not, in such a place everything smacks of true comfort. Tue Circle or Cold.

The range of cold is wider this year than in any year on record. They arc putting up ice four inches thick, formed in the river about Austin, Texas, in about latitude 30, or only about 7 degrees north of the tropics. The effects on vegeta-ion south particulary, is bad. In Florida the orange trees it is fcard, are ruined. In the neighborhood of Louisville, Ky the peach and oilier fruit trues have been killed by the frost.

In Nox.th Carolina, thousands ofdolars it is said, have been lost by the injury done to the pine trees ot that region, though we supposed that that tree could stand cold. In Virgina the apricots have been almost entirely destroyed. In Boston, tbe cold weather was so severe that the linden trees which adorn the sidewalks, split with the frost as if a wedg had been driven into them. But these will close up again in the spring.
