Tho Dying Eoy to his Motbor.
Mother, it is not hard to die,
Weep not around my bed,
For angel hands are hovering
To bless you when l'iu dead ;
Can you not see those snowy hands,
Outstretched to hear me homo?
Can vou not see those llowery lands,
Whera I in joy shall ream?
There are bright temples lined \vith golilf*“ -i
Pillar J and domes empearled ;
Where infant apirila ope the gat :fW--
Tvpes of that glorious H orld./ 4^
Within its violet-tinted halls.,*/
Are steps with diamon<hjrluid ;
And hope’s fair xiMfffflPWtly falls
Round each Relieving head.
They tell iqomat immortal wreaths
Shall restfiipon :nv brow ;
their tinge! lVvrnis,
And hear their voices now ;
They’ll fan me with their wings of faith
With n.ngel care they'd show <
The holy paths of peace'and truth,
And teach me where to go.
They say that crv|tal rivulets
Shall hatho my Brow and F-st,
That throngs of sr>iph ones shall betid,
A trembling child uretLt:
That on the borders oldicse streams
O, for this bliss 1 sigh ‘ *
I see hrisrht'hirds nf rainbow hue,
Trees with anthrosial fruits;
And T shall join Heaven’s minstrels, too,
Yes, I with song and iutc ;•
Then mother, dearest, smile again,
Look up and kiss the rod,
1 go to rest all free fiom pain
In Paradise, with God.
The Beautiful Gate.
KV MISS KIMli ILb.
The beautiful gate, of sleep js barred,
0 angel within 1
The panels of pearl with diamonds starred
Give back no sound to my feeble knock ;
I have no key that will turn the lock !
How Jong must l wait?
O evermore and forevermore
Must I stand at tiie beautiful gate ?
My garments are thin—my sandals worn,
Sweet angel within 1
How piercing the blast —how sharp the thorn !
The night is cheerless —the wind is wild!
My bruised heart sobs like a pitiful child !
Ilow long must 1 wait ?
0 cvennoref and forevermore
Must I stand at the beautiful gate?
If I were a queen I’d give my crown,
O angil within!
Or famed. 1 would lay my laurels down ;
Or rich, I’d yield thee 1113’ treasured gold,
For thy sweet shelter from rain ajtd cold !
How long must I wait?
O evermore and forevermore ?
if ould I pass through the beautiful gate!
A Pretty Lyric.
We'H part no more, Oh, never!
Let gladness deck thy brow,
Our hearts a re joined forever
Qy each religious vow.
Misfortune's clouds have, vanished,

And evj-ry affre is banished,
Xo more ty come again.
Hope’s star iSOjiightly burning
Within hs brilliant dome,
And tells of joy'returning
To cheer pur rural home.
It shines through gloom to gladden,
Dispelling grief and care,
For sorrow ne’er can sadden
While it remaineth there.
’Mid tlo.iory vales we’ll wander,
And by toe laughing stream,
Our bosoms growing fonder
’Neath Love's enchanting beam.

In plenty, side bv side,
Each morn fresh joys disclosing,
Through life we’fl gently glide.

Home. *>
Horne of a winter’s night, when the winti
blows chill, thev sky is overcast, ami the
ground is wet and freezing, is the pleasant
est place unearth. No matter how home
ly the room, how scant the furniture, how
cramped, how old—it is home where the
heart is. A good fire, a pleasant book, with
two or three dear ones to Hsten. and work
when they iisten, is both sensible and com
fortable. They are brfart comfotis, real
soul-searciiing enjoyments which no other
condition affords.
Let the wind bow! ; stir up the ‘fire, and
read tke louder. Ihe world outside is of
little consequence compared with the world
inside. Who cares for the wind ? Draw
around the stand, and amid the sewing on
one side, and the knitting on the other, con
trive to stir up the elements of kindness. —
You will be delighted with the develop cent.
When reading fails, try malversation: and
if that gives out, bring on the hickory nuts.
Fly v our selves with good cheer, and keep
the fire in your'stove and in yonr heart in
blazing unison. * • w •
| - Printers vs. Orators.
Compare the orator with live’ news pa
per, and we gain a faint glimpse of the u
biquitowo-pow.'-r of the latter. The oraror
speaks to a hundreds or thousands—
the newspaper Wl dresses its million of noi
lions. The wur by us the orator may die on
the air—the language .alLthe newspapers is
stamped upon tables as imperishable as
marble. The arguments ortho orator may
follow each other so rapidly tfmTii nrrajori
ty of his hearers may struggle in of
ratiocination—the reading of a newspaper
may be scanned at leisure, without uHeaji;
of perplexity. The passion of an orator in
flames the whole assembly—the feeling’ of
the newspaper sways the continent. The
orator is for an edifice—the newspaper is
for the world ; the one shines for an hour,
the other for all time. The orator may be
compared to lightning, which flashes over
a valley for a moment only leaving it again
in darkness—the newspaper to a sun blaz
ing over a whole earth, “and fixing ou the
basis of its own eternity.” Printing has
feeu happily defined “the art which pie
servos all arts. ’ Printing make* the ora*’
U>r more than the orator, -ft catches up
ill3 dying words, and breathes into them
the breath of life. It is.the speaking gui
lery through which the orator thunders
forth in the years of agee. He leans from
tho tomb over the erudio ofthw riaitij; gen
erations. • ‘A S': ]
Anticipated Union of all Nations.
There js nit old Aisiiu:r tuio in which :
three voting princes are rcprfseuted us hav
ing obtained possession of three imple
nuims, the works of the genii, which were
the most wonderful of which man
had yet heard. There was a small teles
cope which could assist the sij/ht of the ob
server to penetrate fl>ousands of miles from
the spot bn which lie stood. There was a
carpet which traJJSjiorted an y one who took
his atal ion upon it swift as a wish to any
place to which he desiVed logo. There was
an apple which healed all diseases of the
patient, but inhaled the fragrance of its sun
ny rind. Such were, the subjects of the
tales with which the Arabs southed ihe mo
notony of their midnight encampments,
and which the Indian story teller related
to his swarthy audience under the arch of
the city gate in the short twilights of the
East. The imaginations of •the uiost imag
inative races had been taxed io their ut
most stretch to conceive what miracles
could be performed if the supernatural
powers might be made favorable to man,
and snob were the results. Science in 1 liese
modern times, and human reason, acting
as we I die vo,. under the immediate guid
ance of Providence, have outstripped these
fanciful legends of the Eastern world.—
There is nu oriental poet who ventured to
imagine that a dweller in Damascus of
ikigdad could communicate hi; .thoughts
to the utmost limits of the habitable .world,
instantaneously as they were conceived in
his own brain. The notions or physical
geography were so minted rlint the E ist
ern had no conception'of tin; true form of
the planet which we inhabit. Had they,
however, been toid that the world was a
“sphere, ami that tiie thought of man could
be made to encompass it like a girdle, ra
pidly as the Hush which rent the clouds
asunder add passed away ere one could
say that it had lightened, how poor in com.
parison with such a result would all the
wonders have appeared* which, as they
supposed, lay hidden from human eye and
sealed for ages to come under the sacred
signet of Solomon.
The electric telegraph is the miracle of
modern times. As yet this invention is but
in its intancy; but. already all Europe is tra
versed by its wires, and the continent, too,
of North America. In the course of the
next two or three yeats. we trust to see re
suits far more extensive. The wire is al
ready coiled up which is to he cast into the.
depths of the Atlantic. The mountains and
valleys of that great sea have been fathom
ed to ,ascertain the most conveniernmourse
for its deposit. In it brief space, the elec
tric spank which is generated in London
will pass as swiftly “as the exigencies of its
own natujrwrettnire to the great cotton city
‘"'tMv’ ‘V- r ' u>l, to that
rude 1-; ;!) \\ dchever •’ may be which may \
then lie turther westward in the domains of
the butFalo and the “red man Contempora
neously with this gigantic result, we have i
other laborers in the same field at work, ;
who are busily engaged in taxing the tram
rod torlhe electne-park between the Euro
pean continent and the northern shores of
Aii ica. This limit once obtained, the light- j
rung “thought can Hash freely on its course
across tiie old land of tiie Egyptian, wheth
er by the Red .Sea or across the plains of i
Mesopotamia, to the cities of our Indian tn.- I
pile, and in due time, no doubt to the great. 1
centres of Chinese, Commerce. Nor is this
all. The wire which had been laid down
from London in one direction will soon lie
carried to the city of the California gold dig
ger. The corresponding wire, on” which
we have just marked a few stations, will
then be borne across the Chinese seas and
the Northern Pacific—touching, it may be
on its way at the mysterious empire of Ja
pan, and will be linked on at San Francisco
to the Western chain. Then it will happen
that a man may generate a spark at Lon
don, which, with one fiery leap, will return
back under his hand and disappear; but in
that, momentgjf time it will have encom
passed the” planet on which we are whirling
through space into mternity. That spark
will be a human thought!
We await with impatience the complex- i
ion of our own Indian linesof telegraph, and
of their-connection with -the mother coun
try. The election union of the Canadas
with the .British “Isles is but tiie affair of a
few months, nor need we despair of ulti- ‘
matei v seeing the extension of the system to
our Australian colonies. Then indeed the
British dominions will be concentrated into
one vast whol e —-London limes.
Our Teeth.
It is often asserted that the teeth of the
present generation are much inferior to
those of the generations who have passed
us. We wish that someone of our many
dentists would prove literary enough to
give us a denial history*. W,e should be j
astonished, probably, at the dental evils oi 1
other days. Evidences of the use of false j
teeth by the Romans two thousand years j
ago. were found among the ruins of Pom
peii. Three hundred years ago, Martain
Luther complained of’the toothache : and a
German ambassador at the Coitft of Queen
Eiizabetlvspoke of the weakness and im
perfection of the English people’s teeth,
ivhich hr attributed to their custom of eat
ing a great deal of sugar. Shakspeare
makes one of his characters speak of being
kept awake by a ‘-raging fang,” Roger
M illiams was struck by the.imperfect teeth
ot the Narragatn.-ett Indians, whom tooth
ache and decayed teeth troubled exceeding
ly*. George Washington had a setof ’arti
; licialteetfi, for whft-.h he paid five hundred
dollars. Napoleon a;wavs had bad teeth,
and was especiailyTroubled with .them at
St. Helena. Walter Scott speaks, at a com
paratively eitriy period of life, of dental
troubles, and Wishes the had some “fresh
teeth/’ Such are a.Aery few facts which
come up iu our pqpr memory concerning a
somewhat interesting matter. We would
like to have.many more of them. For our
TH E C H E IST I* A M M D I X

own part, we have no doubt that dentists
were in demand at the court of Chedormp
mer.
It is often said by earless observers that,
bfpl teeth ‘belong to weak constitutions, or
are found attendant upon poor health. —
Such is a very great mistake, as any one
wdl discover who looks caretuily abotil
him.—A. } . C.c/tress Messenger.
