BLESSINGS — HOW RECEIVED. 
Tee quiet dews came down at eventide, 
Op’d the sweet flowers their thirsty lips full wide— 
Looked up—and smiled. 
Fresh rain-drops fell within the lily’s cup, 
Came there a drooped-winged bird and sipped them up— 
Then heavenward hied. 
Crept a pale vine by the chill cellar damped, 
A glad warm sunbeam through a crevice glanced— 
It grew and thrived. 
A precious human soul to life awoke, 
Eyes wet with grateful love a child thus spoke, 
“ GOD is so kind.” 
A wealth of blessings on man’s head was showered, 
The sunlight warm—the copious rain heaven poured— 
Earth teemed with good. 
Life, health and quiet joys—all to him given, 
Yet for some fancied good withheld by Heaven, 
A frown —not thanks.

LIFE’S SUNBEAMS. 
Oh I tell me not that life is all a desert, dark 
and drear. I have sometimes thought so when 
BEAUTY’’ AND INTELLIGENCE. 
It is not the most perfect in outward form 
who usually inspire the deepest love. History 
shows us that the most lasting and profound 
attachments were lavished on women possess¬ 
ing buta moderate share of personal attractions. 
Beauty in itself is so alluring and captivating, 
that it is worth our while to consider in what 
consists the mysterious and subtle charm which 
has the power to enchain the heart in spite of 
the eye’s criticism. Women have, in all ages, 
regarded beauty as the most effectual weapon 
to conquer and subdue man ; and the desire to 
possess it, we beg to suppose, results not from 
any passion for domination, but from a laudable 
desire to influence him for his own comfort and 
happiness. However this may be, well-inten¬ 
tioned or not, their solicitude for the possession 
of beauty has induced women of all times and 
nations to search after those things which seem 
to offer a chance of concealing imperfections, 
and enhancing or embellishing their natural 
attractions. This has led them into numerous 
follies and extravagances, and given encourage¬ 
ment to a crowd of charlatans, who have known 
how to speculate upon a woman’s anxiety to 
appear beautiful. If the hours expended in 
contrivances for the adornment of the casket 
were employed for the polishing of the jewels 
within—if half the time consumed in the con- 
passing for a moment under a cloud, but now, siclera tion of a coiffure, or the arrangement of a

COMETH A BLESSING DOWN. 
BY MARY FRANCES TYLER. 
Not to the man of dollars, 
Not to the man of deeds, 
Not to the man of cunning, 
Not to the man of creeds ; 
Not to the one whose passion 
Is for a world’s renown, 
Not in a form of fashion, 
Cometh a blessing down. 
Not unto land’s expansion, 
Not to the miser’s chest, 
Not to the princely mansion, 
Not to the blazoned crest, 
Not to the sordid worldling, 
Not to the knavish clown, 
Not to the haughty tyrant, 
Cometh a blessing down. 
Not to the folly blinded, 
Not to the steeped in shame, 
Not to the carnal-minded, 
Not to unholy fame ; 
Not in neglect of duty, 
Not in the monarch’s crown, 
Not at the smile of beauty, 
Cometh a blessing down. 
But to the one whose spirit 
Yearns for the great and good ; 
Unto the one whose storehouse 
Yieldeth the hungry food ; 
Unto the one who labors, 
Fearless of foe or frown ; 
Unto the kindly-hearted, 
Cometh a blessing down. 
THERE’S SOMETHING WANTING.

Agi if****. lfc was a sultr y afternoon. The great sun 
seemed almost to have set fire to the air, so hot 
JjHRT ^as every breath. The birds sat with throb- 
U'C-, 'Hi' bing throats and open mouths, panting upon the 
V V limbs which were covered with thick coats of 
dust. “ The leaves hung motionless on the 
trees,” and it seemed that even the “seed had 
no strength to burst its covering.” Light, 
empty clouds were gathering here and there in 
? the sky, and many anxious faces were turned 
toward them. Mr. Montgomery had just reach- 
_ , ed bis gate as he hurried to dinner, when, in an 
/ opposite direction, he saw his little boy coming
