Daughter, why is thy hand so red?”
“I plucked a rose, unheeding, and ;
Tho angry thorns did wound my/hand.”
Again, with glowing lips she came,
From meeting one she feared to name.
“What gavo thy lips ao deep a red,
Daughter!” the anxious mother said.
“My lips with berries’ juice aro dyed,"
The maiden bashfully replied.
Once more, with pallid cheek, she came
From him her heart refused to name.
“O. why so lily pale thy cheek?
Speak, darling of my bosom, speak.”
“O, mother, get my winding sheet,
And lay me at my father’s feet;
A cross beside my head.stone place,
And on that cross these dark words trace:'
•With ruddy hand she once roturned
By fingers pressed that fondly burned;
Again, with glowing lips, she came.
Crimsoned by passion’s kiss ol flame;—•
Her death-pale cheok revealed at last,
Hope and false love's illusion past.* ”

THERE’S MUSIC IN A MOTHER’S VOICE.
From Mr. Bennett’s “Songs of Solitude."
There’s music in a mother’s voice,
More sweet than breezes sighing;
There’s kindness in a mother's glance,
Too. pure for ever dying.
Tltere’s love within a mother’s bfeast,
So deep, ’lis still o'erflowing,
And care for those she calls her own,
Thai’s ever, ever growing.
There’s anguish in a mother's tear,
When farewell fondiy taking,
That so the heart of pity moves,
. It scarcely keeps from breaking.
And when a mother kneels to Heaven,
And for her child is praying,
O, who shall half the fervor tell
That burns in all she's saying.
A mother!' how her tender arts
Can soothe the breast of sadness,
And througl^the gloom of life once more,
Bid shine the sun of gladness.
A mother! when, like evening’s star,
Her course hath ceased before us,
From brighter worlds rega.ds us still.
And watches fondly o’er us.

POETRY.
MISCELLANEOUS.
« From the Wilksbarre Gleaner.
OWE NO MAN.
Pray take my advice, if a fortune you’d get,
Pay off what you owe, and then keep out of debt.
This may be bud poetry, but depend up
on it, it is excellent cense. It is an old saying
that ’’the debtor is a slave to the creditor.”
If so, half of tho world enter into voluntary
servitude. The universal rage to buy on
credit, is a serious evil to this country. AInny
a vlauable man is ruined by it.
There was Titus Thortibury, who was an
industrious man. Ho had- us good a farm
as lay in tho north parish of Applebury.—-
But unfortunately lie gave way to the prevail
ing fashion of getting in debt, and used life he
led of it. At 30 he owed .£2000. His fiirm
yielded about that sum. He would not live
without purchasing some things, and ns nil the
money he could raise went .to pay principal
and interest on his debt, lie had overy thing
to buy on credit. So at tho year’s end, with
interest and cost and loss of time, and extra
charge for things because ho did not make
ready pay, ho wits as deeply involved as the
year before. Thus harassed, dunned nnd dun
ned, was poor Thortibury for 20 years.
Not so with cousin Ned Foster. Ho vow
ed he’d owe no man. ’the produce of Ins
farm was about tho same as that of Thorn-
bury’s, but as he wus not forced by dutis,
or executions to sell it out of season, he got
tho highest price; as ho paid for things when
lie bought them, lio got iiis tilings 2 pnr
cent cheaper. As ire paid neither interest
nor cost, and lost no lime in running , to borrow
money or sec his creditors, lie laid np £90 a
year, and lived quite as well as his cousin, and
infinitely happier.
When poor Thornbury saw a man riding
up the road, his anxious look told him as plain
as look could tell, ‘plague on that fellow he ts
eomo to dun.’ When a sudden rap at the door
announces a visitor, no matter how lately he
had been dunned he turned pale and looked sor
rowfully anxious, until tho visitor was known
JMuny a man goos into the store.for a single
article. Looking around, iWenty things strike
his eye; he has no money, but buys on credit.
Foolish man! Pay day must come, and ten
chances to one, like death, he is not prepared
to meet it. Tell me, you who have experienced
it, did the pleasure of possessing tho articles
bear any proportion to the pain, of being called
on to pay for them, when you had it not in
your no wet?
Goad people, hark ye: A fow rules well
kept will comributo much to your liappiuess
.and independence. Never buy what you do
not really want. Never purchase on credit
what you can possiblydo without. Take pride
in being able to say, 1 owe no man. Wi^c*
are sometimes thoughtless, daughters now and
then extravagant.—Many a time, when neither
tho wife nor the daughter would willingly give a
single pang to a fond father’s bosom, they urge
and tenze him to get articles, pleasant enough
to bo suro to possess, hut difficult for him to
buv; lie purchases on credit, is dunned —sued:
and ntanv an hour made Wretched by their
folly and’ imprudence. Old Robert presents
his compliments to the ladies and begs they
would have the goodness to read the last S lines
once a week till they got them by heart,
and tlien'nct as their own excellent disposition
shall direct. ,
Above oil things, good people, never go in
debt to a tavern. To g.og, to toddy, to sling,
to bitters! Oil horrid! what a bill! Never
jiwe your shoemaker, your Jailor, your printer,
votir blacksmith or labourer. Beside the bad
policy of keeping in debt, it Is downright
-No. 2Si
injustice to those whose labor you have receiv
ed oil the benefit of.
How happy’stbe farmer who owes not a pound,
lint lays up his fifty each year tliut comes round.
He fears neither constable, sheriff, nor dun;
To hank or to justice has never to run—
His cellar well fill’d and bis pantry well stored
lie lives far more blest than a prince nr a lord!
Then take my advice Ifo (ortuna you’d got—
Pay off uhal you owe—and keep out of debt.
Advice to Apprentices.
1. Having selected your profession, resolve
not to abandon it; but hy a lifo ofindushvand
enterprise adorn it. You will be much moro
likely to succeed in business you have loo^
studied, than in that of which you know but
