“Come,gather round ihe blazing hearth,
And with reflection temper rinrtli.”
THE RAINY DAY.
BY H. w. loner EI.MW.
The day is cold, and dark, and dienry;
It rains, and the wind is never weary ;
The vincstil! clings to the mouldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves full,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold, and dark, and dreary ;
It rains, and the wind is never weary ;
My thoughts still cling to the mouldering Past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in Ihe blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still, sad heart! and cease repining:
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining ;
Thy fate is the common fate of oil—
Into each heart some rain must fall —
Some days must he dark and dreary.
Woman as Wife. —The parental home is
intended to l>e the school of woman’s edit- j
cation, not her permanent abode. As the
instinct which teaches the birds of passage
the time of their emigration, suddenly im
pels them to mount to'untried regions of the
atmosphere, and seek through cloud and
tempest a land they have never seen, so a
like inspiration teaches woman that there is
another home for Iter, destined by the Great
Designer, of still greater happiness than that
which site has already known ; ar.il under
the same apparent destiny. One appears to
lead her to that happy place. Marriage
comes as the great crisis of woman’s exis
tence. And where, if you search earth thin',
will you find an object which the eye bends
on with such intense, I had almost said, pain
ful interest, as a bride 1 What an era when
considered with reference either to the pas!
or the future ! It is in a manner the crush
of one world, and the begginning of anew
one. She is to go from a home that she has
known and loved, where she has been loved
and cherished, to one to which she is an ut
ter stranger. Her happiness is to be sub
jected to those on whose characters, temp
ers, principles, she can make no calculation.
And what is to assure her of the faith of him,
who has sworn at the altar to cherish and
protect her 1 She may, in the blindness of
affection, have given her heart to otic who
will wring and break it, and she may be go
ing to martyrdom, where pride and prudence
will alike deny her the poor solace of com
plaint. Yet she is willing to venture all.—
The law instituted by the Creator is upon
her, and urges her forward. With calm
confidence she puts herself under the pro
tection of tlmt almighty principle, which is
suing from the throne of Grod penetrates and
pervades all tilings, and then returns to link
itself to the throne of his Otnnipoter.ee, the
principle of Love, and she is safe. Perhaps
if she knew what life has in store for her,
she would for a moment shrink back. The i
marriage festivity would not be without its
fears.
We now see woman in that sphere for
which she was originally intended, and which
she is so exactly lilted to adorn and bless, as
the wife, the mistress of a home, the solace,
the aid and the counsellor of that one, for j
whose sake alone the world is of any con- {
sequence to her. If life be increased in
cares, so it is also enriched by new satisfac- I
tions. She herself, if she be inspired by just
sentiments and true affection, perceives she I
has attained her true position. Delivered ‘
from that tastelessness which sooner or later
creeps over a single life, every power and
faculty is called into energetic exercise, and
she feels the current of existence to How in
a richer, deeper stream. We are all made
for action and enterpiise. Existence, though
surfeited with luxury and abundance, is in
sipid without it. The affections, which God
has ordained to spring in the bosoms of those
lie has destined to pass through life togeth
er, are no deceivers.
A touching Sketch of parental narrow. —
A few months ago I buried my eldest son,
a fine manly bfy of eight years of age, who
had never had a day’s illness until that which
took him hence to be here no more. His
death occurred under circumstances pecu
liarly painful to me. A younger brother,
the next in age to him, a delicate, sickly
child from a baby, had been down for near
ly a fortnight with an epidemic fever. In
consequence of the nature of the disease, I
used every precaution that prudence sug
gested to guard the othi r members of my
family against it. But of this one, my eldest,
I had but little fear ; lie was so rugged and
so generally healthy. Still, however, I kept
a vigilant eye upon him, and especially for
bade his going into the pools and docks near
bis school, which he was prone to visit.
One evening I came home wearied with a
long day’s hard labor, anti vexed at some
little disappointments, and found that he bad
also just come into the house, and that he
was wet and covered with dock mud. 1
taxed him with disobedience, and scolded
him severely—more so than I had ever dune
before: and then harshly ordered him to
bed. He opened his lips for an exculpato
ry reply, as I supposed, hut I sternly check
ed him ; when with a mute,sorrowful coun
tenance and a swelling breast, he turned
away, and went slowly to his chamber. My
heart smote me even at the moment, though
I felt conscious of doing hut a father’s duty.
But bow much keener did I feel the pang,
when I was informed in the course of the
evening by a neighbor, that my imy hail gone
to the dock at the earnest solicitation of a
younger and favorite plnvAmtp, and by the
especial permission of his school-master, in
order to recover a cap belonging to the
former, which had blown over the wharf.
Thus I lehrned that what 1 had treated with
unwonted severity os a fault, was but the
impulse of a generous nature which, forget
- fill of self, had hazarded perhaps life for an
other. It was but the quick prompting of
that manly spirit which I bad al ways endea
vored to engraft upon his susceptible mind,
and which, young as he was, had already
manifested itself on more than one occa
sion.
How bitterly did I regret my harshness,
and resolve to make amends to his grieved
spirit in the morning! Alas! that morning
never esme to him in health. Before retir
ing for the night, however, I crept to his low
cot, and bent over him. A tear had stolen
down upon his cheek, and rested there. I
kissed it off; hut he slept so sweetly and so
calmly, that I did not venture to disturb him.
The next day he woke with a raging fever
on his brain, and in forty-eight hours was no
more! He did not know me when I was
first called to his bed side, nor at any mo
ment afterward, though in silent agony I
bent over him till death and darkness closed
the scene. I would have given worlds to
have whispered one kind word in his ear, and
have been answered, but it was not permit
ted. Once indeed a smile, 1 thought of re
cognition, lighted up his eye, and I leaned
eagerly forward. But it passed quickly
away, and was succeeded by the cold un
meaning glare, anti the wild tossing of the
fevered iimbs, that lasted till death came to
his relief.
Every thing I now see that belonged to
him reminds me of the lost one. Yester
day 1 found some rude pencil sketches which
it was his delight to make for the amuse
ment of his younger btother; to-day in
rummaging an old closet I came across bis
boots, still covered with dock mud as when
he last wore them; and every morning and
evening I pass the ground where his voice
rang the merriest among his play-mates. —
All these things speak to me vividly of his
active life; but I cannot, though I often try,
recall any other expression of his face than
that mute mournful one with which he turn
ed from me on the night I so harshly re
pulsed him. Then rny heart bleeds afresh.
O ! how careful should we all he, that in our
daily conduct toward those little beings sent
us by a kind providence, we are not laying
up for ourselves the source of ninny a bitter
tear! How cautions, that neither, by incon
siderate word or look we unjustly grieve
their generous feeling! And hmv guardedly
ought we to weigh every action against its
motive, lest in a moment of excitement we
be led to mete out to the venial errors of the
heart the punishment due only to willing
crime! Alas ! perhaps few parents suspect
how often the sudden blow, the fierce re
buke, is answered in their children by the
tears, not of passion, not of physical or men
tal pain, but of lovina hut grieved or out
raged nature !— Knickerbocker Magazine.
A Street Sketch. —Look now to the left,
against tlie marble building—there is a
group of boys playing marbles on the cor
ner. There's a subject for you. Look at
that little rosy cheeked fellow in the green
tunic—see with what a grace he plumps his
marble smack against the taw. That is a
future Alexander. He wins and loses with
the same proud indifference ns the great
warrior gambled for thrones and empires.—
He cares nothing for the game—it is no
sport to him—but be merely mingles in it
for the want of more congenial employment.
You can see a beautiful disdain curling his
upper lip.
But see that sharp grey eye and eager lit
tle face, peeping over the player’s shoulder.
He has “ a stake in the empire.” Hear his
little shrill voice crying out “fend dobs!”
He’s not to he cheated—not he! In a few
years he will become a rich merchant—will
smuggle goods through the custom-house —
tax compound interest and six per cent. If
he fails in business, it will be with his pock
ets well litted.
And see that soft passionate face, sur
rounded with black curly locks, and lit. up
by an eye which seems to have arrested the
sunbeam in its progress. He looks at the mar
bles—but be seen them not. He is revelling
in some fairy world, and bis little heart is
swelliug and throbbing with some fancied
emotion. He will be a poet, unless, for
sooth, some kind and considerate guardian
shall crush his bright aspirations, ere they
have ripened, and leave the temple of his
hopes desolate and filled with the ashes of
its stricken gods, to embitter all its future
life. There is a bright haired girl, who
conies laughing and romping, like the roses
which blush with light at l heir own happi
ness. She puts her arms gracefully about
the poet’s neck, and kisses his soft cheek.
How the blood rushes like fire to his tem
ples ! you can almost see his heart beating
with its strange and wild emotions, as if it
would burst his vestment. Ah, boy, boy !
A bright but bitter destiny is thine ! How
often will thy heart, buoyed up by its native
etheriality, mount till the mysteries and
beauties of the Ideal bloom and blaze around
thee—when arrested by some petty but
grasping and tenacious fiend of want or
cure, or earthly hate, all the bright vision in
an instant will fade away, and leave thee
again desolate and broken hearted !
llow often will low cunning, clad in gor
geous apparel and surfeited with luxury, roll
swiftly past thee in gilded chariots, on the
road of life, and leave thee to crawl onward,
with tlie world of ideal and unprofitable
wealth, weaiv, starving and forsaken!—
j Young poet, pause ! Tear tiff thy wing—
| shut tip the bubbling fountains of thy soul,
and mix in the general strife for wealth and
power. “Put money in thy purse.”
Thus much for a game of marbles.

Reason is always striving—always at a
! loss ; and, of necessity, it must come to pass,
while it is exercised about that which is not
its proper object. Let us be content at last

j so much of him as lie is pleased to reveal to
j Us in the Sactcd Scriptures. To apprehend
i them to l>e the word of God is all our rea

1o a young infidel who was scoffing at
Christianity, because of the misconduct of
its professors, the late Dr. Mason said:
“ Did you ever know an uproar to he made
because an infidel went astray from the
paths of morality ?” The infidel admitted
that he had not. “ Then, don’t you see,”
said Dr. M., “ that, by expecting the profes
sors of Christianity tube holy, you admit it
to be a holy religion, and thus pay it the
highest compliment in your power?” The
young man was silent.
1 he best ground unfilled, soonest runs out
into rank weeds. A man of knowledge that
is either negligent or uncorrected, cannot
but grow wild and godless.— Lord Bacon.

O, that men should put an enemy in their mouths,
to steal away their brains! that we should, with joy,
revel, pleasure, and applause, transform ourselves into
beasts! —StUKSPEARE.
A Drunkard. —Look at that gray-headed
man, of three-score and upwards, sitting by
the wayside. lie was ouce an elder of the
kirk, and a pious man he was, if ever piety
adorned the temples—“ the lyart ballets,
wearing thin and bare”—of a Scottish pea
sant. \Vhat eye beheld the many hundred
steps that, one by one, with imperceptible
gradation, led him down—down—down to
the lowest depths of shame, suffering, and
ruin ? For many years before it was bruit
ed about that Gabriel Mason was addicted
to drink, his wife used to sit weeping in the
spence when her sons and daughters were
out at their work in the fields, and the infat
uated man, fierce in the excitement of raw
ardent spirits, kept causelessly raging and
storming through every nook of that once so
peaceful tenement, which for many happy
years had never been disturbed by the loud
voice of anger or reproach. His eyes were
seldom turned on his unhappy wife except
with a sullen scowl or a fiery wrath ; but
when they did look on her with kindness,
there was also a self-upbraiding in their ex
pression, on account of his cruelty ; and at
the sight of such transitory tenderness her
heart would overflow with forgiving affec
tion, anil her eyes with tears. But neither
domestic sin nor domestic sorrow will con
ceal from the eyes and ears of men ; and at
last Gabriel Mason’s name was a by word in
tlie mouth of the scoffer. One Sabbath he
entered the kirk in a state of miserable aban
donment, and from that day he was no long
er an elder. To regain his character seem
ed to him, in his desperation, beyond the
power of man, and against the decree of
God. So he delivered himself up, like a
slave, to that one appetite ; and in a few
years his wholg_householil liatl gone to des
truction. His wife was a matron almost in
the prime of life when she died ; but, as she
kept wearing away to the other world, her
face told that she felt her years had been too
many in this. Her eldest son, unable, in
pride anil shame, to lift np his eyes at kirk
or market, went away to the city and enlist
ed into a regiment about to embark on for
eign service. His two sisters went to take
farewell of him, hut never returned ; one.it
is said, having died of a fever in the infir
mary, just as she had been made a pauper;
and the other—for the sight of sin and sor
row,and shame,and suffering, is ruinous to the
soul—gave herself up in her beauty, an easy
prey to the destroyer, and doubtless has run
her course of agonies,& is now at peace. The
rest of the family dropped down, one by one.
out of sight into inferior situations in far-off
places; hut there was a curse, it was tho’t,
hanging over the family, and of none of them
did a favorable report ever come to their na
tive parish ; while he, the infatuated sinner,
whose vice seemed to have worked all the
woe, remained in the chains of his tyranical
passion, nor seemed ever, for more than the
short terra of a day, to cease hugging ittohis
breast.— Christopher North.
The Drunken. Mother. —We saw on our
way from the post-office, through the Paik,
yesterday afternoon, a sight to make the
! heart bleed, anil tlie nerves creep with a
thrilling horror, at the utter hopeless degra
dation of humanity, in close contrast with ull
that should be fair, pure, and innocent and
holy—a mother and her child.
The woman was wrapped in an old plumb
colored camlet cloak,faded‘and fringed with
rags, like those almost always worn by the
Irishwomen of tlie lowest class, as well in
hot as in cold weather, and old brown bon
net, crushed out of all shape against the base
of the granite columns in the vestibule of
the Hall of Records, against which she had
evidently fallen. A portion of her face was
visible, covered with carbuncles and other
ulcers, and made horrible by that indescri
bable discoloration, between the hue of a
mummy and a gangrened wound, which noth
ing hut whiskey can produce !
By her side lay a junk bottle, its nose rest
ing in a little puddle of liquid fire, which the
poor old wretch had been unable to convey
to her mouth; and her red and brawny arms,
folded up in a fashion we cannot describe,
rested in an empty basket upon which site
was partly lying.
By this breathing body of death sat a lit
tle pale-faced, flaxen haired hoy,’ resting
against the column, and supporting the head
of his mother in his lap, while his thin and
attenuated arm, stretched in an attitude of
I intense affection and sorrow, as far as it
| would reach, over her bosom, as if to shield
her from the approach of harm, while his
head drooped languitllydown upon herslioul
der, and his watchful blue eyes ever and
anon closed in tlie sleep of hunger and quiet
des| >:iir, anu.thcn opened strangely,and gaz
ed around with hurried glance, as if he was
reproaching-himself with having slumbered
upon his watch.
We turned away with a sensation of
choaking in our throat,and tlie big tear start
ing to our eye. “My God !” was our in
voluntary exclamation; “is this thy work,
foul fiend of intemperance ! and can thy
wretched victims fall so low ?”
We approached the hoy, and slipping a
shilling into his thin hand, bent a moment
above him, and invoked tlie protection of the
God of the fatherless upon his innocent
head, and then as the lightning of his joy lit
eye stole into our bosom we hurried from
the scene—we hope riot all regardless of the
terrible lesson which it taught.
‘lhe above is no fancy sketch—the most
imaginative brain could never have limned
a picture so full of truthfulness and deep,
deep humiliation for the degradation of its
nature.— New- York Aurora.
