There- is a tear of ioy and a t' nr of grief. The tear of to-duy may not bo forced by the sumo cause which ovorllowcU tho cyo yes terday. A tear may bo sent tip from the heart by joy or sorrow. It is tho same li ouid diamond in either case. A little tear drop on tho check has a lntiguago of its own. It speaks to persons of all nations, It is interpreted readily by persons of all countries. Tho faco down which a tear runs tells whether il springs from tho foun tains of joy or grief. A tear draws forth tho sympathy be cause it is tho emblem of Love, of Hope, orofunef. When it is grief, our pulse, beats faster, for our heart is agitated and touched deeply. Iho true feeling of heart is seen in a tear which lingers in the eye, that little bright window of the foul ! Tho tears of to-day, if they do spring from grief, may to-morrow bo wiped uway by rainbow hues of pence, happiness, and pros, perity. Nil d(.tjeruwhim. Never des pair. Fireside Journal.

I hey can never make, it right, anil all tho bankrupt laws in tho universe cannot niako it right for then not to pay their debts. There is a sin in this neglect us clear and as deservinar church discipline us iu stealing or false swearing. Ho who violates his promise to pay, or withholds tho payment of a debt when it is in his pow er to meet tho engagement, ought to uo mituo lo led that in the sight ot nil hones! men ho is n swindler.
