“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. 1 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 to know (rod by his own methods, at least 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 i son has to do, for all beyond it is the work j of faith, which is the seal of Heaven impres sed upon our human understanding.—Dry den. 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. s<d ur sf ns ib st ~saaa ©is il a p 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.
