MISCHIEF MAKERS.
VUULISHED BY REQUEST.
Ob ! could there in the world be found
Pome little spot of happy ground,
Where village pleasure* might go round,
Without the village tattling!
How doubly blest 'hat place would he,
Where all might dvv-U in liberty,
Free from the bitter mi.cry
Of gossip’s endless prattling.
If such a spot were really known,
Dame Peace might claim it as her own ;
And in it she might fix her throne.
Forever and forever ;
There, like a queen, might reign and live,
While every one would soon forgive
The little slights they might receive,
And be offended never.
’Tis mischief makers that remove
Far from our hearts the warmth of love,
I
And lead us all to disapprove
What gives another pleasure ;
They seem to lake one’s part—but when
They’ve heard our cares, unkindly then
They soon retail them out again,
Mix’d with th.ir poisonous measure.
And then they’ve such a cunning way
Of telling ill meant tales—they say :
‘ Don't mention what I said, I pray—
I would not tel! another 5”
Straight to your neighbor’s house they go,
Narrating everything they know,
And break the pence of high and low,
Wife, husband, friend,and brother.
Oh! that the mischief-making crew
Were all reduced to one or two,
And they were painted red or blue,
That every one might know them!
Then would our villagers forget
To rage and quarrel, fume and fret,
And fall into an angry pet
With things so much below th in.
For ’tis a sad, degrading part,
To make another’s bosom smart.,
And plant a dagger in the heart
W'e ought to love and cherish 1
Then let us evermore be found.
In quietness with all around,
While friendship, joy and peace abound,
And angry feelings perish!

The Loss Or Early Purity of Char
acter.—Over the beauty of the plum and
apricot, there grows a blootn and beauty
more exquisite than the fruit itself; a soft,
delicate plush, that overspreads the blush
ing cheek. Now, if you strike your hand
over that, and it is once gone, it is gone
forever; for it never grows but once.
Take the flower that hangs in the morn
ing itnpearied with dew—arrayed as no
queenly woman ever was arrayed with
jewels. Once shake it so that the beads
roll off, and you may sprinkle water over
it as carefully as you please, yet it can
jjetui uu umueuguiu wutu u was wuen mu
dew fell sileutly upon it frotn heaven!
On a frosty morning you may see the panes
of glass covered with landscapes, moun
tains, lakes, trees, blended in a beautiful
fantastic picture. Now lay your hand up
on the glass, and by the scratch of your
finger, or by the warmth of your palm, all
the delicate tracery will be obliterated.
So there is in youth a beauty and purity
of character, which, when once touched
and defiled, can never be restored; a
fringe more delicate than frost-work, and
which, when torn and broken, will never
be re-embroidered. A man who has spot
ted and soiled his garments in youth,
though he may seek to make them white
again, can never wholly do it, even were
he to wash them with his tears. When a
young man leaves his father’s house, with
the blessings of a mother’s tears still wet
upon his forehead, if he once loses that
early purity of character, it is such a loss
that he can never make whole again.
Such is the consequence of crime. Its
effect cannot be eradicated ; it can only be
forgiven. It is n stain of blood that we
can never make while, and which can be
washed away only in the blood of Christ,
that cleauseth from all sin!
—,
Worth Knowing.—The washerwomen of
Holland ami Belgium, so proveibfalljr clean,
and wlio get up their linen so beautifully
white, use refined botax as washing powder
instead of soda, in the proportion of a large
handful of borax powder to about ten gallons
of boiling watiThey save in soap nearly
one half." All the large washing establish
ments adopt the same mode.
