There is a Homo of heavenly rest In the glorious skies above ; A home of peace—the home of the blessed, Where all is joy and love : And ail is pure and rich and bright, Thai dwells within that home; The Son of love, with his cheeting light, Illumes the sacred dome. 2. The good are there—the kings of old, Who ruled in love and fear; And the bands of Clod —the just and bold—j And the wise and true, arc there. The Heaven-inspired—the martyr’d sage, The Saints of every clime:— The good of every laud ami age Reign there through endless lime. 3. And Angel choirs are singing there, While their golden harps resound In melodies more rich and rare Than evening breeze’s sound. And Seraphs bright and Cherubim Join in the glorious praise, And loudly lings the. swelling hymn Which to the Lamb they raise. 4. And God is there—the Great I Am— Creator —God alone— The Spirit and the Lowly Lamb— The blessed Tluee in One— Upon the eternal throne of Grace In love and mercy reign, \V bile round them swell the songs of praise ’ From the great Celestial Train. 5. Oh ! “tis a joyful, happy home, Where peace and love abound’; Where cares and sorrows cannot come, Where pure delights ate found. And the fields are clothed in living green O'er which the Messed roam, And golden Iruits and (lowers are seen Within that heavenly home. (5. The notes of wo, the voice of pain, The pangs of death arc gone; And love and pei.ee and joy lemaiu Around that glorious throne: The happy soul, through endless days, From sm and sorrow free, Sends forth its grateful songs of pfttise To all Eternity. 7. When shall 1 reach that home of rest— Those ever-blooming plains— The heavenly mansion of the blessed, Where endless pleasure reigns? When shall I join the happy throng, And, free from pain and care,— Commence the never-ceasing song—• Oh when shall I get there? T. M.

Dear brother linker, — Will you give the billowing communication a place in your paper for the satisfaction of the friends at a distance. The name of sister Wjsn, th at you published some time Indore Christmas last, was Menuie, not .Minerva. Correct the name if you please and oblige the friends of sister Winn, the daughter of John and M ary Thornton, of Oglethorpe County.— Nhe departed this life after living many veins a highly respectable in ember oft lie Baptist Church, and has left a kind hus band and several small children, and an af- i leetioualc Father and Mother and two bro thers to mourn their loss. But we cannot t mourn for her as we do for those who die -without hope in the Lord, for we are con strained to say. Blessed are the dead that ] die in the Lord, yea saitli the spirit, from j henceforth they shall cease from their la- j bors and their works do follow them.— Then why should we mourn departed 1i if nils or shake at death’s alarms, ’ns but till* voice that Jesus sends to call them to j his arms. We could say much more res pecting the life and death of this worthy sister, but wo know much said is soon for- ; gotten. 1 remain yours in Christ, in hopes j of a more intimate acquaintance. I*. F. BUTLER. Uoyc ami JUraorj. nV MltS. SIGOURNEY. A babe lay in the cradle, and Hope came I and kissed it. When its nurse gave it a j cake, Hope promised another to-morrow; I and when its young sister brought a (lower, over which it clapped its wing and crowed. Hope told of brighter (ones which it would gather itscll. The babe grew to a child, and another friend came and kissed it. Her name was Memory. ISlie sit'd, “Look behind thee, and tell me what thou scest.” The child answered: “1 see a little book,” And Memory sail: “l will teach thee to get honey from the book, that will be sweet to thee when thou art old.” The child became a youth. Opee, when he'went to bed, Hope and Memory stood by the pillow. Hope sang a melodious song, and said. •‘Follow me, and every morning ihon shall wake w ith a smile as sweet as the pretty lav l sung thee.” But “Hope, is there anv need that we should contend? He shall b mine as well as thine; and we shall he to him as sisters all Ins life long.” So he kissed Hope and .Memory, and lie \wi beloved of them both. While he slept peacefully, they sal silently by ids side, weaving rainbow tissues into dreams.— When lie awoke, they came in with the lark, to a good morning, and gave a hand to each. He became a man. livery day Hope guided him to his labor, and every night he supped with Memory at the tabic of Know ledge. But at length Age found him—turned his temples gray. To his eye the world.seem ed altered! Memory sat by his elbow- j chair, like an old and tried friend. 110 looked at her seriously, and said: “Hast thou not lost something that I en trusted to thee?” And she answered. “I fear so. for the lock of my casket is worn. Sometimes 1 am weary and sleepy, and Time purloins my key. But the gems that thou didst give me, when Id'e was new—l can acount for all—see how bright they arc!” While they sadly conversed, Hope put I forth a wing that she had worn, folded tin- i derher garment, and tried its strength in a i heaven-ward flight, The old man lay down to die, And j when the soul went forth from the body, the ! angel took it, and Memory walked with it 5 through the open gale of heaven. But i Hope lay down at the threshold, and genl j ly expired, as a rose giveth out her last odors. Her parting sigh was like the music of a seraph’s harp. (She breathed it into a glo- I rious form, and said: | ‘•lmmortal happiness! 1 bring the soul ! that 1 have led through the world. It is | now time that Jesus hath redeemed it.” True I’tiiileacss. lie who has a heart glowing with kind | ness and good will towards his fellow-men, | and who is guided in the eyetcise of these i feelings bygood common sense, is the tru !ly polite man. I’olileness does not consist | in wearing a white silk glove, and in gtaee ! iully filling your hat as you meet an ac quaintance; it does not consist ill artificial smiles and Battering speech, but in sincere and honest desires to promote the happiness ol those around you; in the readiness to sa crifice your own ease and comfort, to add to the enjoyment of others. The poor ne gro woman, who found Mungo Park, per illing under the palm trees of Africa, and who led him to their hut, and supplied him with food, and lulled him tosleep with their simple songs, were gumum-ly polite. They addressed him in language of kindness and sympathy; they fed him tenderly to their home, and did all in their power to revive his drooping spirits. A poor drover was driving his beeves to market in a winter’s day.. The cattle met a lady in the path, and apparently uncon scious of the impoliteness, compelled the lady to turn one side into the snow.— “Madam,” said the drover, apologizing for llm rudeness of his herd “if the cattle knew as much as 1 do, you should not walk in die snow.” That drover was, in the best sense of the term, a gentleman, while many a young mail, in Washington street or Broadway, with glove, and cane, and graceful step, ,is a brute., Tim mail, who lays aside all selfishness. I m regard to the happiness of others, who is ever ready to confer favors, who speaks in language of kindness and conciliation, and who studies to manifest those little at tentions which gratify the heart, is a polite man, though lie may wear a homespun coat, anti make a very ungraceful how. And many a fashionable, who dresses genteelly, and enters the most crowded apartments with assurance and ease, is a perfect com pound of rudeness and incivility. l ine politeness is a virtue of the understanding and of the heart. It is not like the whited sepulchre, or like Sodom’s far-famed fruit. There are no rules for the exercise of this virtue, more coiroet and definite than those laid down in the-New Testament. There is no book ol politeness comparable with the Bible. — I ice. John -S'. C. .ibbott.

When business is dull, anil leaves at your dispo sal many unoccupied hours, tvliat disposi tion do you make of them ? 1 have known, I and now know, many young men, who if they devoted to any scientific, or litcraiy, | or professional pursuits, the time they spend in games of chani-e, anil lounging in bed, ami in id!, l company, might rise to any cm- j incnee, You have all lead of the sexton’s son, who became a line astronomer by; spending a short time every evening in gaz ing at ilio stars, after ringing thi! # bell for nine o’clock.

Murray, Esq. ol South Carolina, and was read before the St. John’s Colleton Agricultural Society, and communicated by them for publication m the Southern Agriculturist: ‘•Rule.. Having previously leveled the corn in the house, so that it will be of equal depth throughout, ascertain the length, breadth and depth of the bulk; multiply these dimensions together, ami their pro duels by 4; then cut off one figure from the right of this last product. This will give so many bushels and a decimal of a bushel ol shelled corn. If it he required to find the quantity of ear corn, substitute 8 ! for 4, and cut oIT one figure as before, Example. In a bulk of corn in the ear, 1 measuring 12 feet long, 11 feet broad, and (5 feet deep, there will ha 310 bushels and 8-teuihs of a bushel of shelled corn, 633 bushels and G-tentlis of ear corn—as: 12 12 J! 132 132 0 (i 702 792 j 4 8 310,8 633, (f-- Mr. Murray demonstrates the correct ’ ness of his rule thus: j In a cubit or solid foot there are 1728 eu hic inches. Suppose the solid co.stents ol a hulk of ear corn to be 792 cubic feet, as ■! in the above example, it is plain, if we mus ! tiply this stun by 1,728, we reduce it to cu -1! bits incites; divide this product by 2,15(1,* (rejecting the two-lilths as unimportant,) and we evidently have the number of hush • | els of ear corn in the bulk. i. e. about 330 j bushels, or about three bushels more than | was obtained by the operation of the rule. | But conceive 1728 and 2150 to constitute together a vulgar fraction tints, 1728-2150 in order to arrive at the true number of bushels, we have multiplied by the numer ator 1738 and divided by the nominator 2150. Now the vulgar Criterion, 8-10 is a vefljf near approximation to the fraction, 1728-2109, therefore to multiply by 8 and divide by 10 would produce very nearly the same result; this we have in effect done by multiplying l>v the decimal, 8, The decimal 4 is used when the object is to find the quantity in shelled corn, because that ! decimal is the half of the decimal 8. and it requires two bushels of ear corn to make one of shelled corn. In using those rules, a hall bushel should he added for every hundred, that amount of eiror resulting from substitution of the deniinals. ‘ Number of cubic incites in a bushel.— Ed. Index. Marriage. —Betfevolenec and prudence nitty make marriage happy ; but what can he expected blit disappointment and repen tance from a choice made in the immaturity ( ol youth, in the ardor of desire, wifaoul judgment, without foiesight, without inqtii iy into conformity of opinions, similarity ol manners, rectitude of judgment, or puri ty of sentiment ? Such is the common process of marriage. A youth and maiden meeting by chance, or brought together by artifice, exchange glances, reciprocate civil ties, go home and dream of one another; and liav ing little to divert attention or diver sify thought, they find themselves uneasy when they are apart, and therefore conclude they shall be happy together. They mar ly, and discover what nothing but voliinlu ty blindness before had concealed, and charge nature with cruelty.— Dr. Johnson. ‘Io Select a good ll'ife. —Choose a wo. man who has been inured to industry, and is not ashamed of it. Be sure she has a good constitution, gooil temper, and has uni been accustomed to “ dashing ” without! knowing the value of the means, is not 1 found of novels, and has no giddy and fash ionable relations, and you need enquire no further, she is a fortune. To Select a Good Husband. —Let the ; man ol your choice he one who is punctual j | in his promises, and is industrious, sober, i frugal. Ho should not smoke cigars, read | | ‘fashionable’ books, or visit balls and thea tres. Let him be dignified and have com- j moil sense, and all will be well.— Femes ; sec rig. 7 he art of being rlgrccablc. —The art j ol being agteeable is to appear well pleased | j with all the company, and milter to seem well entertained with them than to bring i entertainment to them. A man thus dis- I j posed, perhaps, may have not mucliTcarn- j i tt°t* any wit; but it he has. common J i sense, and something friendly, in his beha- J v tour, it conciliates men’s minds more than j | the brightest pails without this disposition; j j and when a man ol such a turn comes to { I “h! age, lie is almost sure to be treated with i | respect. It is true, indeed, that we should I not dissemble and llatter in company ; but a man may bo very agreeable, stiicily con sistent with truth and sincerity, by a put j dent silence where he cannot concur, and a I pleasing assent where he can. Now and | ‘hen you meet with a petson so exactly formed to please, that he will gain upon every one that hears or beholds him ; this ! disposition is not merely the gift of nature, I l ,ul Irequently the effect of much knowledge ofthe world, and a command over the pas sions.— Spectator. Insufficiency of worldly. Amusements— . In’ lolly ol resorting to worldly amuse ment to dissipate mental gloom or serious convictions, is forcibly illustrated by the following incident: “A French Physician was once consult ed by a person who represented himself as subject to the most gloomy fits of melan choly. The physician advised bis patient to mix in scenes of guyety ; and particular ly to Irequciit the Italian theatre; and add ed, “If Carlini (a most iamous comic per former) does not dispel your gloomy com plaint your case must be desperate indeed!” The reply of the patient is worthy the at tention of those who frequent such places in search of happiness, as it shows the ut ter emptiness ami incuflicieney of their a museinents. “ Alas ! sir,” said the patient, “I am Carlini; and while I divert all Paris witli mirth, and make them almost die with laughter, 1 myself am dying with melan choly and chagrin.” Facts worth Knowing. —There are men employed in France by Protestant agencies to distribute the Holy Scriptures, tracts, &c. for the evangelization of that dark coun try. These are called Colporteures. — The good these men are doing is said to be very great. Some of them are supported wholly’by funds received fiom this coun try. For instance, a lady in Baltimore with her son and daughter support one. A brother and two sisters in Worcester sup port one. Two ladies in Phildelphia do the same. Thus do their works praise them. These patrons may never see in this world the fruits of their benevolence; but they will see it in the world to come.— .V. H. Hop. Reg. Remember the Wheel. —Let our rich i men remember that their own offspring may sometime be poor. History tells of an an cient conquerer, who, having harnessed several kings to his triumphal chariot, no ticed one of them frequently looking back, and narrowly watching the wheel. The conquerer asked him why he did so. “1 was thinking, said he, how quick the top ol that wheel would come down into the dust, and the part now down would he on the top.” The conquerer unharnessed him.
