First I saw thy gentle fiioe,
Smiling in thy garden bower
With such timid, blushing grace :
While tho sunset rays declining.

Round thy pure, angelic brow—
Then, O then, I sighed to be

Since that time each hour that stealeth
From our happy lives away.
Some new gentle charm revealeth,
And I bless thee day by day '
Yea, thy voice more sweetly soundeth
To my fond accustomed ear,
And my heart more gladly boundeth

sight. His fii^tstcp in self-discipline should
be to attempt to have something like an ad
equate idea of the extent of tlie disorder.
The deeper lie goes in this matter tlie bet
ter: he must try to probe his own-nature
thoroughly. Men often make use of what
self-knowledge they may possess to frame
for themselves skilful flattery, or to amuse
themselves*in fancying what such persons
as they arc would do under various imagi
nary circumstances. For flatteries and for
fancies of this kind, r.ot much depth of self-
knowledge is required : but be who wants
to understand his own nature for tlie purpo
ses of self-discipline, must strive to learn the
whole truth about himself, and not shrink
from telling it to hi« own uoul -.
■ “To thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.”
The old courtier Polonitis meant this for
wordly wisdom: hut it may be construed
much more deeply.
Imagine the soul, then, thoroughly awake
to its state of danger, and the whole ener
gies of the man devoted to self-improvement.
At litis point, there often arises a habit of in
trospection which is too limited in its mi

the growth ol plants, have discovered the
means of so transforming or training their
roots, as to make them assume the shape ol
various animals. The object referred to is
supposed by some to be the root of the large
Chinese dog-rose, and by others to be the root
ol tlie vine. It is about three feet in length,
and of a proportionate, height, and bears a
close and extraordinary resemblance to the
shape of a lion, having the legs and feet,
head, tail and body, with its shaggy mane
most rudely perfect. By what means the
Chinese acquire this mode of expanding and
shaping the roots of plants is still a m) r stery,
although many •ingenious inquiries and re
searches have been made on the subject.—
This, however, does not appear so extraor
dinary as the power some of the Chineso
possess of dwarfing plants, for it is known
they will produce an oak not more than five
or six inches in height, bearing acorns; and
the same with respect to orange and lemon
trees, of the same dwarfish character, also
bearing fruit. Some specimens of these

be satisfied with it, until it becomes botii
searching and progressive. Its aim should
be not only to investigate instances, bift to dis
cover principles. Thus, suppose that our
conscience upbraids us for any particular
bad habit: we then regard each instance of
it with intense sell-feproach, and long for
an opportunity of proving the amendment
which seems certain to arise from our pangs
of regret. The trial comes: and sometimes
our former remorse is remembered, and saves
us; and sometimes it is forgotten, and our
conduct is as bad as it was before our con
science was awakened. Now in such a
case we should begin at the beginning, and
strive to discover where it is that we are
wrong in the.heart. This is*not to be done
by weighing each particular instance, and
observing after what interval it occurred,
and whether with a little more, or a little
less, temptation than usual : instead of
dwelling chiefly on mere circumstances of
this kind, we-should try and get at the sub :
stance of the thing, so as to ascertain what
fundamental precept of God is violated by
the habit in question. That precept we
shonld make our study ; and then there is
more hope of a permanent amendment.
Infinite toil would not enable you to
sweep away a mist; but, by ascending a
little, you may often look over it altogether.
So it is with our moral improvement: we
wrestle bercely with a vicious habit, which
would have no hold upon us if we nscended
into a higher moral atmosphere.
As I have heard suggested, it is by ad
ding to oiir good purposes, anJnourishingtbe
affections which are rightly placed, that we
shall best be ableto combat the bad ones. By
adopting such a course yon will not have
yielded to your enemy, but will have gone, In
ing able to salivate a patient? Cannot the
veriest fool in Christendom salivate—give
calomel? But 1 will a$k another question.
Who is it that can stop the career ofmerciiry,
at will, after lie has taken the reins in his own
destructive and ungovernable hands? He
who, for an ordinary cause, resigns the fate
of bis patient to mercury, is a vile enemy to
the sick ; and if he is tolerably popular, will,
in one successful season, have paved the
way for the business of life; for he .has
enough to do ever afterward to stop the
mercurial breach of the constitutions of Ins
dilapidated patients. He has thrown himself
in fearful proximity to death, and has now
to fight him as long'as the patient maintains
a miserable existence.”
