™i FAMOILY ©OMILII “ Wilhin thy realm no discord’s jarring sound Is heard, nor Cain and Abel there are found !” ZZ GLORY! ’Tis a strain on hill or strand; A flash upon the sea ; The gleaming of a gorgeous brand Through charging chivalry! *Tis a flower of tearful leaves That tells of sudden death — While friendship o’er the falling grieves, And wastes elegiac breath. ‘Tis Death and Life so strongly blent, That mortals in the strife, Know not for whom the boon is sent, Till they have done with life! —Maffit. THE DYING HOUR. If the experienced’ the dying hour could be faithfully written, the thoughts that then fill the brain like the last inhabitants of a crumbling temple, and the feelings that then occupy the chilled heart, be tevealed to tho eye of sense, what a view would be display ed ! The period of dissolution brings with it emotions of a peculiar character. There were at that time operations through which the soul never passed. Nothing appears in its old aspect. Like a splendid hall which has been hung in new drapery, each object wears a different dress. Opinions that the strongest force of argument could not repel or withdraw from the mind, then hastily de part ; prejudices that rooted themselves more and more deeply at every attack, then bend before the blast; cherished feelings that the bosom had ever clung to, then are hated ; and desires that bad ever found a home be side affection’s altar, then are banished.— What fearful change is this, that then be falleth the spirit ? Are they faculties then so weakened as to prevent it from thinking and feeling aright ? No; it now sees things as they are. Falsehood has ceased to ob scure its vision. Truth, long deprived of her anthority, long forced to crouch like a slave, obtains her rightful station, and shows that the pretended nature of the world is ve ry unlike its real character. O, what an hour is this ! when the soul is aroused to the true relations of objects—when mistakes are seen, but alas, too late for correction— when eternity’s importance and awe enter into the decision, wishes and feelings of the mind! The hour of death ! In this brief space the past is reviewed. However treacherous memory may have been on a thousand oc casions, she now acquits herself with fideli ty- Omits she now to unrol the record, which her hands had so often clasped I Is she like the trumpet, that bloweth an “ un certain sound ?” Life’s history her tongue now repeats —scenes, forgotten scenes are recalled ; and buried events are brought up before the eye. Over the long path which we have made, she leads us; here she stops to meditate on some da’rk deed ; there she shows another way into which passion hur ried us. Have we injured friends ? Have the true and fond bosoms on which we rest ed, been pierced by the darts of unkindness? Memory presents it. Have we performed actions of generosity ? Have the desolation of the widows been cheered, and the lone misery of been relieved by us? Has the patnof one individual lost a thorn by our instrumentality, or the wreath of love had one rose added by our hands ? Delight ed with the occurrence, memory repeats it in strains of exultation ! Crowded into this narrow period, the moments resemble the waves, that now dance in the sunlight to the music of the breeze, and now flow on in solemn silence beneath the shade of over hanging boughs. But does the past alone employ the fugitive hour ? That hour ima gination also makes her own : whatever may have hindered its operation, is now remov ed. Loftier and freer than ever soars its wings: over the highest summit it easily rises, borrowing life from death itself? The dying hour ! It is then that, time and we are patted. Though lie may have led us over a diversified way, we then forsake him; he continues to travel on in his own course, but we are ushered into anew con dition. Cares cease to distress; the last tear falls from the eye, the last sigh escapes from the bosom, darkness gathers upon tho earth, relieved otdy by that pure light which, proceeding from heaven, hath power to gild the closing scene. Mortality, shrink not from this hour. Pursue virtue—let religion be thy study. O man, and whenever and wherever this event occurs, it shall find thee happily prepared. Whethes death meet thee at the door when mid-night reigneth ; or mid-day pour its tide of glory on the world—whether it meet thee amid the con solations of home, or the privations of a stranger’s country —whether it meet thee on the uprising billow, or in the fruitful plain ; its stern brow shall bear a soft and holy ex pression, and its angry voice shall speak no tones but those of peace and love !” Ah! in that hour, how shall conscience answer the fearful query, llow many souls Whom thou hast caused to worship God, on earth, Khali be thy crown of endlessjoy in Heaven. Water. —“ The strength of rum ! Give me only the pale water, which nature brews down in the bright crystal alembics of her cloud-crested mountains. Give me, when I would assail with strained nerves and the arduous outlay of bones and sinews some amount of opposition, reared full and im passible in my path, give me only that pure flow which followed the sltoke of the Pro phet’s rod, give mo that gush, cool and clean, that bubuled up before Hugar and Ishrnael in the desert. Give me only that fluid which trickles down the bright sides of our own American mountains, gathers into rills in the woody uplands, then rolls into broad, beautiful, transparent rivers—spreads into lakes, the mirrors to reflect all that is dark, or soft, or bright, or deep, in the unfathom ed firmament above. Give me these crystal streams —these cool, fever-allaying waves, in health or sickness, when the thirst of the last fever shall assail my vitals—give me these waters, ur.tortured and free, until that moment when 1 shall drink the waters of eternal life !” object is the centre of a The Fireside. —Pleasant is the breakfast hour, and cheerful is the meeting, when, re freshed by peaceful slumber, the different members of a family assemble round the table to take their morning repast. At oth er meals the family may be divided, but, generally, here all are assembled. The busy cares, the hurried turmoils of the day, have not disturbed the spirit; all is peace, cheer fulness and joy. But pleasant as the break fast table is, there is another point of attrac tion still more so. Cheerful as the breakfast group may be, there is another group more interesting. The point of attraction is the fireside, and the group the beings that sur round it. The fireside ! where is there a heart that, does not glow at the very name ? where is there a spirit that does not spring forward to join the fireside party ? At the breakfast table, when the sun is mounting the skies, the table bounteously spread, and the cup running over, with health in the cheek atid animation in the eye, there ought to be a waitn gush of grateful emotion for our happy lot; but a still warmer gush will be required suitably to acknowledge the more social, the more delightful enjoyment of a domestic (beside. Whatever may have been your occupation or your cares ; how ever tried with disappointments, and ruffled with unexpected evils, it is all over now, for the day at least. The sun has gone down, the shadows of night prevail. The winds are blowing wilhout, but the fire is sparkling within. The shutters are closed, the cur tains are drawn ; there is yet an hour that may be passed peacefully and pleasantly, let it be passed at the fireside. In the days of our boyhood often have we sat by the fire side, with half-a-dozen rosy-faced compan ions. We have read our books ; played at the games in which young people delight; roasted our potatoes, told long stories, and laughed till the room rang again—for our heaits were as light as though there was no such thing as care in the world. The future hour and the future year were always bright —we feared nothing, and hoped everything; for we knew, or thought we knew, that as we grew older we should surely be happier. The fireside is a chosen spot —a charmed space —endeared by a thousand affectionate recollections. Reading. —Of all the amusements that can possibly be imagined for a hard-working man after bis daily toil, or in its intervals, there is nothing like reading an interesting newspaper or book. It calls for no bodily exertion, of which he has already had enough, or perhaps too much. It relieves his home of its dullness and sameness; it transports him into a livelier and gayer and more diversified and interesting scene ; and while he enjoys himself there, he may for get the evils of the present moment fully as much as if he were ever so drunk, with the great advantage of finding himself the next day with the money in his pocket, or at least laid cut in real necessaries and comforts for himself and family—and without a headache. Nay, it accompanies him to his next day’s work ; and if what he has been reading be anything above the idlest and lightest, gives him something to think of, besides the mere mechanical drudgery of his every-day occu pation—something lie can enjoy while ab sent, and look forward with pleasure to. If I were to pay for a taste which should stand me instead under every variety of circum stances and be a source of happiness to me through life, and a shield against its ills, however things might go amiss, and the world frown upon me, it would be a taste for reading.— Sir J. Ilerschal. Afraid to learn. —lt is related that Gali leo, who invented the telescope, with which he observed the satellites of Jupiter, invited a man who was opposed to him, to look thro’ it, that he might observe Jupiter’s moons. The man positively refused, saying, “If I should see them, how could I maintain my opinions, which I have advanced against your philosophy ?’’ This is the case with many. They will not look at the truth ; they will not hear it, for fear that the argu ments which they have framed, will be des troyed, and they may be obliged to give up their vicious indulgences. Free Behavior. —The really polite, like the really virtuous, are a law to themselves ; they can be free without being offensive — but the familiarity of the vulgar is truly dis gusting. The generous steed may go in the park at liberty, and the terrier and the span iel may have the run of the parlour ; but woe to our comfort, or even our safety, when we take the chain and the muzzle from the bear and the monkey. Quarrels of anger, ending in tears, are fa vorable to love in its spring-tide, ns plants are found to grow very rapidly after a thun der storm with rain. I know of but one thing safe in the uni verse, and that is truth. And 1 know of but one way to truth for an individual mind, and that is unfettered thought. And I know of but one path for the multitude to'truth, and that is truth, freely expressed. Make of truth itself an altar of slavery, and guard it about with a mysterious shrine ; bind tho’t as a victim upon it, and let the passions of the prejudicial multitude minister fuel, and you sacrifice upon that accursed aitar the hopes of the world !— Brownson. Thoughts. —Do sorrows weigh heavy up on your heart ? Cast your eyes upon that cradled infant, whose slumber no troubles discompose, no dreams affright; you will catch some portion of that breathing inno cence, and feel a calm come over your heart. When we visit in time of misfortune, the scenes inhabited by us in the days of happi ness, a something sad seems to exhale from the spot, composed of the memory of past joys, and of tho feeling of present ills.— What is not here that at such a period you were so happy ?—and now!—and yet these places are the same : what then has chang ed 1 ourselves. The pleasures of youth re produced by memory in the imaginations, are ruins visited by torch-light. The voice of man revives not like that of the echo : the echo may sleep for centuries in the depths of the desert, and yet respond at once to the call of the traveller: the tomb icturus no answering voice. a<d sr mm m, w mas IT fra H DM® IS 0 © T o Be always as merry as ever you can For no one delights in a sorrowful man. m ‘ ~— _ •” ~ How to settle a Dispute without a Duel. — If, unluckily, you Should by any chance get into a dispute, the best way is to stop short, and ask your antagonist to enter into a con sideration of what the debate is. This is apt to have a cooling effect upon both par ties, and to result in a clear understanding of the real question. .A few years since, I happened to be trav eling in a stage coach, where among half-a dozen passengers, there were a Frenchman and an Enslishman. There seemed to be a sort of cat-and-dog feeling between them ; for if one opened his lips to speak, the oth er was sure to fly at the observation with the teeth and claws of dispute. As we were driving along, the Englishman spoke of a sheep he had seen in some foreign land, with a tail so long as to drag upon the ground. Thereupon the Frenchman shrugged his shoulders™urled up his lip, lifted his eye brows, and took a pinch of snuff. “ What do you mean by that ?” said the Englishman, not a little nettled at the con temptuous air of his rival. “ Yat do I mean !” said the latter; I means that a sheep has not got von tail at all.” “ A sheep hasn’t got a tail, ha ?” said the Englishman. “ No, not von bit,” said the Frenchman. “ Well, this comes of eating frogs,” said the John Bull. “ What can you expect of a man who eats frogs? You say a sheep hasn’t got a tail. I tell you, monseer, a sheep has got a tail.” “ Pardon, Monsieur,” said the other, with a polite bow, yet a very sneering expression; “ you say de sheep has von tail; I say de sheep has no tail, not one bit.” By this time the parties were greatly ex cited, and I cannot say what might have happened, had not one of the passengers asked the Frenchman what he meant hy a sheap ! “ Yat I mean hy sheap ? vy I means one big larsh ting, with sails and rudder that go upon de sea.” “Oh, ho!” said the Englishman, “you mean a ship ?” “ Oui, monsieur,” was the reply ; “I mean von sheap, dut has de captain and de sailors, and goes on de vater.” “ Very well,” said the Englishman; I meant a sheep, a creature with four legs, and covered with wool.” “ Ah, you mean von sheap vit de vool!” said the other. “Oh, oui, monsieur; de sheep vit de vool has de tail. Oui, oui.” This incident taught me a lesson, and I give it gratis to my readers; if they ever get into a controversy, let them consider whether one of the parties does not mean a ship, and the other a sheep. (Lf* An Irish officer and an Englishman chanced to occupy the same box at the ope ra. • Between the acts, conversation turned upon travel in foreign countries. A partic ular district in Italy was named by the En glishman as being very attractive. “To be sure,” replied the Irishman, “ I remimber it well. It was there where I met those beautiful groves, and where I saw so many anchovies growing on the trees.” The En glishman smiled aloud, but said nothing.— The Irishman,not comprehending bis mean ing, asked him what he meant by laughing in his face ? “ Oh, nothing,” replied the Englishman ; “ but I never heard of ancho vies growing on trees before.” “ Well, sir, do you mane to insinuate that you doubt ray veracity ?” “ Oh, not at all; but I never heard of anchovies growing on trees before, though I have travelled little myself.” The Irishman became nettled at the incred ulity of the Englishman, and words soon passed between them which the officer con sidered sufficient provocation for achallenge. Accordingly, the preliminaries were arrang ed on the spot, and on the following morn ing the meeting took place. On the first fire the Englishman fell, badly wounded in the shoulder. As the Irishman and his se cond approached, the poor Englishman was writhing and twisting with pain. “ Look,” said the second of the successful combatant, “ see what capers he cuts.” “ Capers it was!” exclaimed the Irishman, clapping his hands together at the discovery of his mis take. “ Capers it was, all the time ! By the powers, I was mistaken in the name !” “ I wish to God, my dear sir, you had made the discovery a little sooner,” groaned the Englishman, his face contorted with agony. The Irishman proffered every apology for the slight confusion of names, and expressed his regret that tho woundqd gentleman had been so unfortunate as to afford him an il lustration by which he was enabled to cor rect the hull. All this,-however, was poor satisfaction to the Englishman. Bittcrsand Sweets. — Two gentlemen were riding in a buggy the other morning very early on the shell road, when a drunken loafer undertook to abuse them for having a handsome vehicle while he had to walk. “ Fine times,” said the anti-Washingto nian, as he staggered along, “ but there are bitters as well as sweets (hie) in this world ; you’ve been taking your sweets (hie) —” “ Yes, and you’ve been taking your hit ters,” said one of the gentlemen, as he whip ped up his horse and drove along. One of our Western papers’ notices the marriage of a Mr. Ephraim Huckle to Miss Jane Berry. We suppose that the fruits of this union may with propriety be called Huckleberries. A man named Grog is a temperance can didate for tax collector in Beaufort District, South-Carolina. What a contradiction in terms ! The contest, it is thought, will be spirited ! Cotton Storage.
