The Sea-Island Mother to her Infants. ,
There’s fnry in yon smoky cloud,
That sweeps along the sky.
The breakers on tho beach are loud,
The sea is white and high—
The sea is white and high, my babe?,
And rises on the strand,
And nought to save us from the waves
Except this ridge of sand.
O! why. my babes! your father left
Us unprotected herr.
Girt by the sea, of hejp bereft,
- The prey of doubt and fear,
I cannot tell: for sure he might
Have taken us to land
Above the ocean's greedy lips
And piles of changing sand.
He said lie would return before
The plover made her nest;
But ere he come, this aching heart
And your's will he at rest,
The eagle scream.our requiem,
The sea-weed be our bier,
And your father be again without
A thing to love or fear.
No tongue to sooth his bunting heart.
No tear to cool his eye.
He’ll loaibe bis life, and m,td!y think
It luxury to die
Upon my breast, O! lie ye still!
The flood gains on the land,
The foaming waves are dashing o’er
The outer ridge of sand. .
Cling (lose, my babes!—though human power
The miphiy waves deride.
Thus doubly clasped, nor death itself
Shall you and me divide;
Bui hark! what crashes in the cloud?
The wind comes from the land!
The waves recoil, and, hastening oat,
Leave bate the bittcrcd strand.

CONSEQUENCES OF ATHEISM.
BY SB. CUANNING.
Few men suspect, peritups no roan compre
hends, the extent of-the support given by re
ligion to every virtue. No man perhaps is
nnare, how much our moral and social senti
ments are fed from this fountain; how power
less conscience would become without the
belief of u God; ho’v palsied would be human
benevolence, to auicken nnd sustain it; how
suddenly tho whole social fabric would quake,
and with what a fearful crash it would sink
into hopeless ruins, wero the ideas of a Su-
pi erne Being, of uccountableness, and of a fu
ture fife to be utterly erased from every mind.
Once let me thoroughly believe, that they
and sport of chance; that no
and that, al hough so remote from us, tb*l g
j cannon hail shot diroctly towards it, apd ipoin*
(anting i.s full speed, would be twenty year* it)
reaching it, it yet affects tho earth by its attrac-
tion in an inappreciable insiant cl time? IVbO
would notask for demonstration, when told that
a gnat’s wing, ic its ordmury flight, beats many
hundred times iri a second? or that there pjv
ist animated and regularly organized beiags,
many thousand of whose bodjos laid close to
gether would not extend an inch? But what
are these to the astonishing truths which mo
dern optical inquiries have disclosed, whiefj
teach us that every point of a medium through
which u ray of light passes is affected with 9
succession of periodical movements, regularly
recurring at equal inteivuls, no less thou 500
millions of millions of timas in a single second!
that it is by such movements, communicated to
the uerves of our eyes, that we see—nay more,
it is the ilf'-iencu in tho frequency of their
recurrence which affects U3 with tho sense of
the diveisity of color; that, for instance, in ac
quiring the sensation of redness, our eyes aro
affected 482 millions of millions of times; ofyel-
lownrss, 54.8 millions of millions of limes; and
of violet, 707 millions of millions of times por
second. Du not such things sound more like
tho ravings of madmen, than the sober con
clusions of people ill their waking souses?—
Thoy are, nevertheless, conclusions to which
any ono may most certainly ttrrive, who will
only bo nt tho trouble of examining the chain
of reasoning by which they have been obtain-
ed.—ilerschePs Discourse.

Discovery of Indian Com.—Previously to
tho settlement of the Puritans in New England,
thoy formed patties for the purpose of explo
ring the country. Captain Miles Staodish,
who wus called tho "hero of New England,”
commanded one of them, consisting of sixtoea
nten. In their progress they met with several
hillocks, supposed by them to be burial place?
for tilt- Indians, but as they advanced, iladjog
many more, they closely examined them, ana
discovered that they contained Indian Com.
Beinfr buried in tho ear, it excited their curios
ity, and by some of tho party it was thought a
valuable acquisition, while others, who ate it
in a raw state, did not relish it, and thought it
worth little or nothing. They secured, how
ever, sumo for seed. In the ensuing spring,
a Syuanto, a frir ndlj Indian,instructed them in
tho culture of it, and it wus probably the mean*
of saving them afterwaros from famine.—ib.

A Kingly Present.—Ibn Batuta, a learned
Arabian traveller, who explored much of Afri
ca, in the 14ih century, mentioned a flourishing
place called Mali, to the south of Timbuctoo.
But he complains of the narrow bounty ofp
mtentate in this district. Afier waiting upon
its nrjesty, he was informed that o present
was on bis away to him, nnd he feasted his im»
ginntion on tho idea of some rich dress, or gold
en ornament, instead of which the whole coru
sisied of a crust of bread, a dried fish, and sour
milk.

no witness but the -perpetrator; that human
existence has no purpose, and human virtue
no unfailing friend; that this brief life is eve
ry thing to us, and death is total, everlasting
extinction—once let me thoroughly almndou
religion, and who can conceive; or describe
the extent of the desolation that would fol
low.
We hope, perhaps, that human laws and
natural sympathy would hold sociely together.
As reasonably might we believe, that, were
the sun quenched in the heavens our torches
could illuminate, and our fires quicken, and
fertilize creation. What is there in humuii
nature to awaken respect and tenderness, if
man is the unprotected insect of a due? and
what is ho more, if Atheism be trne? Erase
all thought and fear o* God from u communi
ty, and selfishness and sensuality would ab
solve the whole man. Appetite, knowing no
restraint, .and poverty and suffering, having
no solace or hope, would trample in scorn on
the restraints of human laws. Virtne, duly,
principle, would be mocked and spurned as
unmeaning sounds. A sordid self intorest
would supplant every other feeling, nnd man
would bccomo in fact, what the theory of
Atheism declareshim lo he, a companion for
brutes!

nml the bug will immediately leave them. It
would be well ufter a few days to renew them,
but one application has frequently been found
to bn completely effectual. The common
chives or sives, will have the same effect witb
the onion If this method fails catch the bun
and kill them. Fires lighted in n garden in tM
evening will destroy a great many insects.
Highland English.—In the reign of Chariot
I. ol England, it tv.is customary lor the north
country merchants to barter their goods, geo*
erally fish, with their richer neighbors of tho
South. Two Highland Bailies, merchant?,
came to Edinburgh with a quantity of speldings
to exchange for stockings, doth,'dec. Sandy,
one ol them, on arriving nt the shop whore they
expected to exchange goods, said to Donald*
tb< other, "You, Tonal, can be spokit in
in.gooder English, and mack you a good sickor
pargain,” After the usual compliments were
paid, Donald asked the merchant, "Gen ye
please, Sir, will you bought for bought?”—
"Hoot, Tonal, man," replied Sandy, “me be
thought you spokit the gnoder English; she
means wiil you buy for buy'."—Scotsman.
