Kerrsakes.—Let us say a word a on suctt remembrutces ns lockets, Inve gifts and kerpsakes. Frum the ervoked sixpence which Mary, the muid-of-all-work, bourds jeuloosly up in her bux, becuase Joli the footmat gave it ti her—fiom the humble testimony of love to the glittering banble that decks the fingers of her young mistress, we adinire and prize them all. A keep-uke, Itke mercy, is “ twice blessed —it blesseth him that gives and lin that takes.” No leart cun be so dead to the best fevtings of hummuity as not to throb with aome little emotion when the eye is guzing in sulace anil aecret on the last relic of one we dearly loved. It hullows the mind and purifies the heart, and we have a saving faith, too, thot it absolutely betters their morals. No very atrvcious deed conlil be committed when the present of one we esteemed und respecteil was near to us tu check every action. A. locket, containing the hair of one no longer living, is aniclincholy, but yet a gratifying oeitorial ‘tis a kind of pledge given to those on earth in naticipation of a blessed onion hereafter. The lair, tov, is the last tling that decays, and is, theretore, the must appropriate relic of the dead. We never belnid a locket sits pended umiongst the glittering jewelry of a puwnbroker’s without being led into a triin of most suubre reflections. What a striagele Ietween lile aml dvath must thut have been that inluged tho possessor to relinquish this lust token to sutisfy the cravings of hanger, It 13 tuo paintnla theme to twellupou long. The heart sickens at the sight of things, the very possession of which speaks of Jloriner o, ule ce ail present poverty—ol a once happy home. pow deserted. These glittering itemorials of love, these sacred offerings of friendship, are here exitibitrd like the hony integnincuts piled ap in the Parisian catacombs, as part und parcel of tlio virtually dead, Lapy Scnscoiners.—The editor of a Boston weekly paper pays a high and well deserved complinient to the fuir patrons of the press. ‘Women,’ he says, are the best snbscribers in the world to newspupers, niagazines, ete. We have been an editor now going on forty-eivht yenrs, and we have yet wever lost n single dol lar by female subscribers. They seem to make ita point of conscientions duty to pay the preacher ani the printer—two classes of the community that suffer more lrom bad pay, aud no pay at all, than all the rest put together, Whenever we liuve a woman's bame on our book. we know it is just as good for two dollurs as a picuyune is lor a ginger cake.’ Natvnat Listony ror tux Youxo.—For many years it hus been one of my constant re grets that no school-master of mine hud a knowledge ol natural history, so fur, at least, as to have taught me the grasses that grow by the waysite, atul the little winged and winless neighbors that are continually meeting me with asulntution wh ch feunnot answer as things are Why didu't somebody teach ine the constellations, too, and muke me at home in the starry heavens, which are always overhead, and which T don’t hall know to this day? I love to prophesy t ‘at there will come a time, when not in Edioborgh only, but in all Scottish and Kuropean towns and villages, the school-master will be strictly required to possess these two capabilities (neither Greck nor Latin more strict!) and that no ingenious little denizen of this universe be thencelorward debarred from his Tight of liberty in these two departments, and doomed to look, upyn them as il across grated fences ull his life. —Thomas Carlysie. Nest or tHE Hussino Birs.—The nest of tle hamming bird is a miracle of perfection in domiesii¢c economy. For beauty. fitness and snfety, the wisd.m and taste displayed in its arrungement are irreproachable. Budecked in plumage of emerald, ruby and topaz, remarkable lor the delicacy of its form and grace ol its notion, onsullied by rain from tho clouds or dust Irom the earth, feeding upon tle nectar of the flowers. its babitation should be in character, and so itis. Shaped like u half cup, it is delicately lormed of lichens, colored like the branch on which it ig fixed, and lined with the soft down of plant blossoms, of nilen leaves, or the young fein. It is delicately soft, sheltered, and is nndistinguishabls Irom the burk of the tree, of which it seems a most natural excrescence—a moss-grown knot. ‘I'wo white eges as large as peas adorn the nest, upon which, as asserted by some navuralists, the cock and hen sit by turus for ten or twelve days. The little birds, scatecly larger than flies, enter npon their existeuce in a chamber tapestried as with velvet, and nre fed with the sweets of flowers from the maternal tongue. ‘The tiny househuld exhibits not only # commendable nentness but exquisite taste and delicncy in all its arrangements. Cun geutle humanity derive . no lesson from such an example ?
