STJVDAY EVEiriKG. liuv th« evening shadows fell. Advancing from the wwl, A« ends the weary week of toil, A nd comes the day of rest. • Hright o'er the earth the star of eve Her radiant beoaty sheds; And myriad sisters calmly weave Their light around oar heads. 'Rest, roan, from kbor! rest from sin! The world's hard contest close ; The only hours with God begtu— Yield thee to sweet repose. — Bright o'er the earth the morning ray its sacred light will cast, I'air emblems of the clunous day That evermore shall rest.

TAZE THX PAPERS—A Parody. ‘Tis sweet on a winter's night at home. To set by the fire and taper.; Hut ah ! It is a wiser thing. By far, to read the papers. Went yon take the papers f Can’t yon take the papers ? T&jjoys of earth are ol little worth, Galeae yon tako the papera. Maideus, wanting lovers tree. You mast take the papers ! Swains, who would not idly woo. Yon most take the papera ! Won ’i yoa take the papers ? Can’t yon taka the papers f Lava’s joys b*lew. jwu’ll never know. Gnless yon take the papers. Marrfed folks of all degree, Yoa most take the papers! Yoo may truly happy be, If ydk’ll take the papers ! Won’t ypu tako the paper* f Can’tyon take the papers f They’ll say your mean and very green, Unlees yoa take OU& papers.

KTORDTHK MOUNTAINS. Tba little child was dyitt£. His weary limbs vrefe racked with pain no more. The flush was lading from his thin cheeks, and the fever that for many days had bees drying op his blood, was now cooling rapidly under the touch of the icy hand that was upon him. Thera were sounds aud bitter but suppressed grief in that dim chamber, for the dfiag little one was very dear to many hearts.—They knew that he was departing, and'the thought was hard to bear; but they tried u> command their feelings, that they might not disturb the isgl moments of their darling. The father and mother, aud the kind physician stood beside dear Eddy's oed, «nd watched bis heavy breathing. He ■had bean silent for some time, aud appeared to sleep. They.thought itmight be thus that he would pass away, but suddenly his wild blue eyes opened wide and dear, and a beanliful smile ttroke over hit featnrei*. He looked upward aud tonrard at first, then turning his eyes upon his mother's face, said, in m sweet voice -■ ‘'Mother, what is the name of that beautiful country that I soe away beyond the mountains—the

AtyA mountains ?”

“i can see nothing my child.” said the mother: there ere no mountains in

sight of our bome.”

“Look tAert, dear mother,” said the child pointing apwurd; "yonder arc the naountainc. Can yon not see them wow V’ be asked in tunes of Ute greatest , as hia mother sit ook her

sisg you.”

“Oh, mother, oh, father, do not cry, bit come with ue and cross the mountains—oh come;” and thus he entreated, writh a strength and earnestness which astonished all. The chamber was filled with wondering and awe s'ricken friends. At length he turned to his mother, with a face beaming with rapturous delight, and stretching out bis little arms to her for one last embrace, he cried, “Goodbye, mother, I am going but don't ! you be afraid—the ttrony man has conn to carry me over the mountains.' 11 The»e were his parting words ; upon j the mother’s breast he breathed his last, and they laid the HlUc fair baby down 'again noon the pillow, and closed the lids over the beautiful blue eyes, over which the mist of death Tutl gathered heavily, and bowing by ths beside, prayed. with submissive thought ^bleeding hearts, and said : “The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken awny : blessed be the name ot the Lord.” ITvai the Bordentown Brouter. EVER .OF THEE. How much feeling and heartfelt amotion do these three sweet words express. They cause to spring up in one’s heart, many sweet memories af the past; many recollections of dear friends who are far out on the tide of life, and many thoughts df those dear * ones whom “grim death” has called awny to try the j realities of another world, and relieve i them of the toils and straggles on this

! cold earth.

| When we arc from home, out on the rough and tempestuous waves of. the toils and turmoils of thifr* world ; away from the blazing fireside of your “dear ! home,” and you miss the sweet smiles I of father, mother, brothers and sisters ; when, after a day of toil and labor, you sk down by your fireside, and think of I these dear ones at home, then can you

.—-

j Sweat hone—H*ppy home!

' * U true, I love you

j Your mlfid will ponder on things of the j past—of happy bygone days, and you ; will whisper of kind friends and home : ! “I,Mn thinking Ever of Thee.” ! There L *.»•« fair being that yon have ] left behind : one who has been your j guiding star, nud who; by her kind ! words and cheering smiles has won yonr i love and devotion. You have left this fair one, nml as your mind reverts to the j many happy mopicnts you have spent J with her, and the solemn vows of love i nud constancy that fell from yonr lips, j and you told her, in meaning words, “I ! will think Ever of Thee.” ! There is the Supreme being who rules. I the earth and sky ; who causes the sun I to throw its rcfnlgent rajs upon us to I cheer and gladden our spirits, and who ] causes the grain to grow for our s'uste- { nance, and gives us the warbling birds. : who gladden our weary souls with their i melodious notes, and drive doll care i sway and in its place mirth nnd happiness. The green fields, the waving l grain shining in its golden bcanty, ! the bright and pebbly brooks, the beaui tifnl fish we see in the brooks, are all the works of God. Should wc not ever ' try and lore this kind being, one who seems to devoto so much for our joy nnd happiness ? Yet there are those who seem to be-«v«r grumbling with tboir lot, not conteut with the portion they i have, but striving for more, neve^thinking who gaveTthem what they have—i their life—ttwtr existence. I hope the time will soon be when we ] will see tba error of our ways, and we f in sincerity—“God, I am ;ing Ever of Thee.”
