THE PENITENT SON. . Death brings to those who have been long dreading its approach, by the bedside of one tenderly beloved, a calm in which nature feds most gracious relief from the load of sorrow. While we yet hear the faint mur murs of the unexpired breath, and see the diin light of the unclosed eyes—we watch in agony all the slightest movements of the suf ferer, and to save tile life of friend or of pa rent, we ourselves would most gladly die. All the love of which our hearts arc capa ble, belongs then but to one dearest object; and tilings, which perhaps a few days before were prized as the most delightful of earth’s enjoyments, seem, at that awful crisis, un worthy even of the affections of a child.— The blow is struck, and the sick-bed is a bier. But God suffers not the souls of them who believe, to fall into an abyss of despair. The being, whom for so many long years we have loved and reverenced, “ Has past through nature tu eternity,” and the survivors are left behind in mournful resignation to the mysterious decree. Life and death walk through this world band in hand. Young, old, kind, wise, fffol- ish, good and wicked—all at last patiently submit to one inexorable law. At all times; and in all places, there are the watchings, and weepings, and wailings, of hearts severed or about to sever. Yet look over land-scape or city—and though sorrow, and sickness nnd death, be in the groves and-woods, and solitary places among the bills—among the. streets and the squares, and the magnificent dwellings of princes; yet the great giad spir it of life is triumphant, and there seems no abiding place for the dreams of decay.

The lambs are S laying in the sun-sliine over all thy verdant noils, and infant shepherd and she.pher Jess arc joining in iheir glee. Scarcely is there a cloud in the soft cerulean Iky—Save where a gentle mist ascends above the dark green Sycamore, in whose shade that solitary- dwelling sleeps ! This little world is filled to the brink with happiness—fur grief would be ashamed to sigh within the still enclosure of these pastoral hills.

The head of the old man lay on its pillow stiller than in any breathing sleep, and there was a paleness on his face that told the heart would beat no more. We stood motionless as in a picture, and looked speechlessly on each other's countenance. “ >ly grandfather has fallen asleep,” said the loving boy, in a low voice, unconsciously using, in his sim plicity, that sublime scriptural expression for death. The mother, unable, to withhold her sobs, took her child by bit little hand, and was leading him away, when at ohee the dreadful truth fell upon him, and he knew that he. was never again to say his prayers by the old man’s knees. « Oh! let me kiss him—onoc only—before they bury trim in the fotfl earth •” and in a moment, the golden «urls of the child were mixed with the grayjiadrs of the lifeless shadow.— No terror baa the cold lips for him ; and closely did h* law his cheek so smooth to those deep wrinkles, on which yet seemed to dwell a la*t loving smile.

It was on May-day that, along with my venerable friend, I again visited the cottage of the Hazel Glen. A week of gentle and sunny rain had just passed over the scenery, and brought ail its loveliness into lift*. I could scarcely believe that so short a time ago the whiteness of winter had shrouded the verdant solitude. Here and there, in deed, a pateli of snow lay still nnmolted, where so lately the deep wreathes bad been drifted by the storm. The hum of insects even was not. unheard, and through the glit ter of the stream the trout was seen leaping at it? gaudy priy, as they went sailing down the pools with their expanded wings. The whole glen was filled with a mingled spirit of pleasure and of pensiveness. As we approached the old Sycamore, wc heard behind ns the sound of footsteps, and that beautiful boy, whom we bad so loved in bis affliction, came up to us, with a smi ling fare, and with liis satchel over his shoul der. He was returning from school, for the afternoon-was a half-holiday, and his face was the picture of joy and innocence.—A sudden recollection assailed his heart, as soon as he heard our voices, and it would have been easy to have changed liis smiles into tears. But we rejoiced to see bow benignly nature had assuaged liis grief, and that there was now nothing in memory, which he ould not hear to think of,-even among the lauses of his pastimes. He led the way tappily and proudly, and we entered once more the cottage of the Hazel Glen. Tlie simple meal was on the table, and tile, husband was in the act of asking a bles sing, with a fervent voice. When lie. ceased, he and his wife rose-to bid us welcome,and there was in their calm and quiet manner an Assurance that they were happy. The chil dren flew with laughter to meet their broth er, in spite of the presence of strangers, and we soon sat ail down together at the cheer ful hoard. In the. calm of the evening, hus band and wife walked with us down the glen, ;is we returned to I lie Manse—nor did we fear to speak of that solemn night, during Vi hic-b,so lwpny a change had been wrought in a sinner's (icart. \Ye parted in .the twi light, and on looking back at the Hazel Glen, we beheld a large beautiful star shitting l ight over the cottage.

The Irish have not advanced to so high a point of the scale as their brethren of England: nnd their speech bewrayitli them ;—their oratory, with all the fresh and rude virtue, exhibits also many of the defects, that usually charac terize the literary productions of a compar atively unrefined people. It is true that oik of (lie distinguishing qualities of such a peo ple is simplicity ; hut then it. is simplicity of feelings, not of taste. Their affections are jvure and sound ; but, in giving them expres sion, if they attempt to rise beyond the. lan guage of common life, they rise into an un tried region, and become afflicted or extrava gant. In u tvord, rude nations,like the chil dren, are. ever mistaking finery for elegance ; and the same rule holds, with a graduation of force, through all the successive steps be tween savage nature and the highest degree of refinement. The effect of this remark is not diminish ed by the undeniable fact, that numbers of the higher classes of persons in our sister kingdom receive an education as refined as the utmost fastidiousness of English taste could demand. National eloquence, like national music, is moulded and fashioned according to the judgment and feeling r.ot of the higher and more educated members of the community, who may be said to be of no country, but of tiie multitude. These, let it be remembered, are the hearers, the recipients of eloquence ; and to the capacity of the recipient, the thing received must in n great measure conform itself. In effect, no higher praise can be bestowed on a speaker, than that be consults the taste of liis audi ence ; and few and rarely gifted indeed arc those,who can do this without catching a lit tle of (lie inclinations which they consult, and actually acquiring that character which they in some sense, assume for particular occa sions.— Quarterly Jlexiew. s DISSOLUTION.
