DEDICATION LINES FOR AN ALBUM. 
BY J. C. MILT.ER. 
Upon the scroll of everlasting Fame 
I never hope to write my humble name, 
To be remembered through all future years 
With Avon’s bard and all his noble peers ; 
I never hope with soul-inspiring lays 
To rouse the spirit of departed days, 
To win and wear the poet’s crown of bays. 
And bear, well pleased, a world’s admiring praise. 
My timid muse, with calm, sun-gazing eye 
Beholds the splendors of the earth and sky ; 
Looks on the sun with unbedazzled sight, 
And feels the glorie s of the starry night; 
But rather love; the frail and modest liowor 
Which blooms unnoticed in tho humble bower, 
A thing of beauty, breathing fragrance round, 
Th3 sweet3>t tenant of tho garden bound. 
I sing of flowers, their beauty and their grace, 
Of inai leu’s fair, their charms of form and face, 
Of Love and Friendship, Truth and Constancy 
And how these things have aye affected me. 
But chiefly Friendship claims the poet’s song, 
The power that holds in fetters fast and strong 
Those youthful hearts, whose kindred pulses beat, 
To the same measure, temperate and sweet; 
The power which strengthens all our social tios, 
The sceptred lord of human sympathies, __ 
To thee, oh Friendship, do the muses owo 
The holy heat and sympathetic glow, 
Which shed on Foe y a light divine, 
Effulgence flowing from the Sacred Nine 1 
To theo, the soul’s mod high and royal king 
The heart’s affections willing tribute bring ; 
They leave their gifts before thy righteous throne 
And homage pay to thee, and thee alone. 
To Friendship’s off’ring-s, fruitage of the heart, 
This Album’s page s we now set apart; 
Upon its leaves of pure and spotless white 
May cherishe 1 friends their kindly thoughts indite, 
These in sweet strains of Poesy, and tho;o 
In less admired, but no less welcome Prose, 
And he who roads them, in the coming years, 
Shall see but dimly through the mi-t of tears !

CRUSHED HOPES. 
It is a great fact that every individual has 
some object for which he lives. No matter 
what may be their circumstances, all have an 
object in li e. These are thc idols of thc heart’s 
worship. YV ith one that idol will be a friend, 
and with that friend his whole heart is so inti¬ 
mately entwined that a separation can scarcely 
he effected. The great object of others is to 
secure wealth, and honor, and fame. Of these 
they have their visions and their day-dreams 
—not day-dreai, s to them, for to them they 
are as bright and as true as the most splendid 
realities. For these they will toil year after 
year, and endure every hardship, cheered on by 
the prospect of the final accomplishment of 
these darling schemes. Their desires may be 
deferred, but they will still hope on. They 
look to the pleasure of the end as an ample re¬ 
ward for all present hardships. 
But show that individual that those hopes 
can never be realized, that these castles which 
he has built have no foundation, and he has 
nothing more for which to live. He may move 
around still, in the world, but he takes no in¬ 
terest in its most wondrous events. It is all 
to him as though it were not. He cares not 
to improve his condition because he has no 
hope of any such thing, J Lis is the indifference 
of despair. How fur this description may pic¬ 
ture the condition of those, many of them 
strong and able men, who people our work and 
pauper houses, I leave the reader to judge. 
It is a strange fact that much of man s hap¬ 
piness originates in a delusion. Men have 
hopes. To accomplish these hopes they are 
willing to labor, when without them they 
would be inert—their condition, with that of 
the whole human family, is thus improved. If 
men could only see, what is often the case, that 
their hopes could not be realized—if each indi¬ 
vidual could see that his aspirations after rich¬ 
es or honor or fame were in vain, there would 
be no more enterprise—for the motives which 
lead men to engage in such works would be 
wanting. Men having nothing to live for 
would not care to live. Hence, to a commu¬ 
nity, hopes, though false and delusive, are a 
blessing, if they only lead to renewed exertion. 
But to an individual the removal of these 
hopes is a most bitter, bitter thing. He has, 
perhaps, pursued them as they have receded 
from him, until at last they have altogether 
disappeared. The whole a 'ter life is as a blank. 
His heart is as a withered tree; all that is 
healthy and beautiful has gone, and nothing 
remains but a rotten trunk Hind naked, leafless 
branches. The man is crushed with his hopes. 
It may not be shown so much by texrs, for 
“ There is a sorrow too deep for tears.” 
To the unsympathising, his tearless, though 
heavy eyes, and air of stupid indifference may 
not bespeak sorrow. But, though they ob¬ 
serve it not, he does weep. He weeps tears of 
blood from a crushed and bleeding heart. 
Henrietta, N. Y., 1854. W. J. F. 
HOPE ON, AND EVER! 
“I hoped on—hoped ever! - ’—Thus spoke 
one who had reached the peak of victory.— 
Storms had come upon him ; shadows dragged 
their heavy skirts over the hills and mountains 
of his life ; cares and sorrows lashed their bur¬ 
dens on his shoulders ; trials and vicissitudes 
assailed him—but amid them all he had kept 
his hope, and now, ere the middle watch was 
passed, the angels had set their seal upon him, 
and dropped upon his brow the wreath of tri¬ 
umph. The gloom was gone forever ; and as 
he stood with his i'eet secure, the sunshine from 
the “ Eden hills ” fell around him, and far out 
in the valley of the Future he saw the “ fade¬ 
less laurel trees,” within whose shade his eve¬ 
ning days should ebb away, softly and gently 
as a dream of Heaven. 
“ Hope on—hope ever!”—this is the true 
philosophy. It life is chilled by passing woe, 
or dimmed by care, Hope is a song-bird in 
your heart, breathing hymns continually.— 
When Alexander, as he was about to under¬ 
take his expedition against Persia, distributed 
the estates of his crown among his country¬ 
men, he was asked what he had reserved for 
himself? He answered, “ Hope!” So every 
soldier in Life’s battle fields should reserve his 
hope, for it shall lead him on, no matter what 
opposes, to fame and conquest. 
Brother, give up all else you have, if you 
will, but like Alexander, keep your Hope I 
Four Good Habits. —There were four good 
habits a wise and good man earnestly recom¬ 
mended in his counsel, and also by his own ex¬ 
ample, and which he considered essentially ne¬ 
cessary for management of temporal concerns. 
These are Punctuality, Accuracy, Steadiness 
and Dispatch. Without the first of these, time 
is wasted ; without the second, mistakes the 
most hurtful to our own credit and interest, 
and that of others, may be committed ; without 
the third, nothing can be well done ; and with¬ 
out the fourth, opportunities of great advantage 
are lost which it is impossible to recall. 
Population and Civilization.— If we may 
not assert positively that crime diminishes as 
the population increases—and all attempts to 
improve society would be vain, did an increase 
of population, as has been frequently and erro¬ 
neously asserted, cause an increase of crime 
greater in proportion than the increase of pop¬ 
ulation—we can at least assert that crime does 
not necessarily increase with population. It 
is consolatory to believe that civilization and 
population go together; that barbarism is 
closely associated with few and scattered people.
