“Come, gather round the blazing hearth,
And with reflection temper mirth “
A Cheerful Home. —What solace there is
in a cheerful home! The bright fireside, if
it be made bright but by a log of wood ; the
cleanly spread table, if it contain but one
dish; the full glass, ifitbe filled with the hum
blest beverage ; the contented wife, and the
happy children, made so by the kindly tone
of the father, who, in his business transactions,
is hard, cold, stern and correct! How
cheaply may such a home be purchased, by a
uniform show of kindness, or sympathy, and
by a slight yielding tothe whims and caprices
of its inmates. The man who makes a
domestic autocrat of himself, who makes his
will law, and exacts implicit obedience to it,
has no home, properly so called, but merely
a petty kingdom, of which he is ruling
tyrant.
What a thrill of pleasure is given by words
of kindness spoken by lips the owner of
which has a heart full of the true milk of
humanity ? Happy children that have such
a father, and joyous the wife with such a
husband ! But there is no man without his
crusty moments; the wear and tear of busi
ness, the irritation consequent upon it, must
sometimes give rise to harsh words and harsh
conduct, when at home, in the domestic
circle. Then comes the test of the good
wife, the looks of condolence and of affec
tion, the assiduous cares, the cheering words,
the smiles, the tear of sympathy, anj the
honest common sense and unselfish advice.
Ah,if we could bear in mind Itow necessary
it is to bear and forbear, how much more
j>rofitab!e are the words that turn away
wrath than those that annoy, irritate, vex
and engender quarrels,ourstnn of happiness
would be increased a hundred fold.
Entrance into Life. —It is doing a service
to mankind to destroy the prejudice which
is generally entertained that youth is educa
ted when some care has been taken of their
infancy. This prejudice, besides other bad
effects of it, suspends the zeal of that small
number of individuals in the middle ranks
of life, who wish to give their children the
lest education they possibly can. From a
false notion that the minds of young persons
are formed at a very early period, they suf
fer them to he their own masters at a time
when they stand most in need of a guide to
direct them in the course of the most impor
tant period of their education, by the wis
dom of his counsels, the genlleness of his in
sinuations, and the force of his example.—
Few persons, in their infancy, learn the ait
of employing and governing themselves;
and it is very difficult to leant it till the fac
ulties of the mind are full-blown, and the
character has taken its true bias. When j
young persons, therefore, ate entering upon
the tempestuous ocean of human life, tlieu
is the time when they must be taught the
pilot’s art, the manner of steering their
course, so as to avoid rocks and quicksands, j
Aphilosophermight begin to take the charge
ot education at a time when the vulgar think
it is finished. Matty persons are capable of i
educating children itt the ordinary method ;
there are few, very few, who are capable of
forming men.
Harmony of Nature and Revelation. —All
the precepts of Christianity are agreeable to
tbe dictates of a sound mind ; and its prom
ises are happily fitted to calm the troubles
of the human heat t. The system of nature
supports a moral government, and the doc
trines and precepts of the gospel have a di
rect moral tendency. The Scriptures give
dearer and fuller views of duty than what
could be learned from the volume of crea
tion, and enforce the discharge of what is in
cumbent upon us by the most powerful mo
tives. From the perversity of their hearts,
men are often inclined to lay the chief stress
on externa] rites and ceremonial observan
ces ; but the gospel teaches us that no ritu
al worship can be pleasing to liod, without
holiness of heart and life; and that justice,
mercy, and faithfulness, are indispensable
matters of the law. Everything in the re
ligion of Jesus, whether we consider the dis
positions which it recommends, or the con
duct which it enjoins, promotes the welfare
of the individual and of society. In propor
tion to their obedience to his precepts, will
be the happiness of mankind ; for in propor
tion to this obedience will they discharge
with fidelity all the duties incumbent upon
them in their several relations of life. If
men generally cherished the same mind that
was in Christ; if they were just and merci
ful, meek and holy, what a different picture
would the world present from what it now
exhibits! How incalculably would the sum
of human happiness be increased. The ben
eficial influence of Christianity proves its
suitableness to our nature, and strongly re
commends it to our regard.
True Benevolence. —True beuevolence in
spires with the love of justice, and prompts
him in whose bosom it glows, neither to op
press tbe weak, to impose on the ignorant,
nor to overreach the unwary ; but to give
cveiy man his due, and with steady and un
deviating steps to walk in the hallowed path
of equity. Deceit and dissimulation, fraud
and falsehood, are far from the humble wor
shipper of God : integrity is enthroned in
his heart, truth dwells on his lips, and an
enlightened sense of duty regulates the
whole of his conduct. He faithfully performs
every uromise.and fulfils every engagement.
Others respect and trust his word, because
he respects and holds it sacred himself.—
His life is characterized by the simplicity of
truth, and the dignity of virtue; and, in deal
ing with him, they who have an opportunity
of knowing his character place unbounded
confidence in his justice and faithfulness.
Religion. —Let the heads of families pro
mote religion in their household. This is
the way to have obedient servants and duti
ful children. Piety is the firmest basis of
morality; secure God’s claims, and you will
not miss your own.
Our passions are like convulsion fits, which,
though they make u* stronger for the time,
leave us weaker ever after,
y Drunkenuess turns a ntan out of himself,
and leaves a beast in his room.
Midnight. —The clock is striking twelve.
How finely thefull tones sweep past through
the air, as if they would take up our thought
and carry it miles away to the very friend
you are thinking of at the moment. How
many haunts of wretchedness hidden from
human eye, in the depths of human hearts,
have these cold vibrations reached while
they are dying so carelessly upon our ears 1
What tales might they tell of secret misery,
sickness unwatched, and preying sorrow,
and fear, and care, and the thousand bitter
cankers that lie and feed at the very heart
strings, beyond all reach of medicine, perhaps
of sympathy*. Many a wife sits watching
with a broken heart for her husband’s step —
many a mother sot her child’s ; and many a
venturous merchant lies haunted by fears
ofshipwreck and tire—many an undetected
defaulter fancies voices at the door—many
a young girl just finding out that love is only
a heaviness and a tear, muses bitterly over
the caprice of a moment or an unmeant
trifle. And these are the only watchers—for
the nappy are asleep—save the bride on her
daintily wrought pillow, murmuring in a low
tone to the ear that will soon tire of its
monotony —or the fervarit poet building up
his dream into the sky, with hiseyesstraining
into the darkness, and his pulse mounting
j with the leaping freedom of an angei’s, for
getting the world will trample out his firey
spirit to ashes, and laugh to scorn the fine
work of his towering fancy.
FAREWELL !
We remember once to have stood on the
deck of a vessel to bid farewell to one who
was to travel many and many a mile distant.
The last word that was spoken, was fare
well, tremulously, as if the heart was too
full, and choked the utterance. What a
world of meaning there is in that word !
The mother breathes it as the spirit of tlie
first born departs, and she hears the cherubs
whisper as they beat its young soul away :
“We have no business here.” It is the
child’s word to the mother whose arms have
so often supported his form, whose eyes
have so often beamed forth kindness, whose
lips have never unloosed but to utter the
melody of affection, and he beholds her now
a stark and stiffened corse, the spirit far
away from its tenement, wandering amid tlie
blissful homes where love keeps its undispu
ted throne.
It is the language of the wife to the dying
husband, when years of comfort and solace
are at length to close, and the light of life to
be forever quenched. It is the mariner’s
last word as he bounds upon the gallant
bark and spreads its canvass to the breeze.
It is the word of ambition as it looks back
on the desolate towers which his fancy had
built in fairy splendor. It is the language
of a brother when he stands by the grave
of a young sister, snatched away in purity
and innocence, “ere earth had profaned
what was meant fur the sides.” It is the
lover’s last word as he parts from her who
has been the object of his idolatry, and
knows not whether on earth they ever shall
meet again. Is it not when uttering that
word, our attention naturally tends to that
abode where parting shall forever cease and
farewell be unknown.
Mother and Child. —As the mistress—
the wife—woman leans on another; from
another are reflected her happiness, her
being—as an orb that taxes light from its
sun. But, as the mother, she is raised from
dependence into power; it is another that
leans on her—a star has sprung into space,
to which she herself lias become the sun!—
Zanoni.
THE My M©[%o §T □
Be always as merry as ever you can
For no one ileliglus in a sorrowful man.
Rather equivocal. —“Blaise your lord
ship’s honor and glory,” replied Tim, “ I
shot the hare by accident.”
“ By accident 1” remarked Cupt. O’Hal
loran.
“ By accident 1” continued the postillion.
—“ l was firing at a bush, and the beast ran
across my aim all ot his own accord.”
“ The game-keeper tells a different story,”
replied his lordship.
“ Och ! don’t put faith in what that man
says,” said Tim Tyan, “ when he tiiver cares
about speaking the truth any how. He tould
me t’other day, yer lordship was not so fit
to fill the chair of justice as a jackass !”
“ Ay, ay,” exclaimed Viscount Ivilskid
dery, “ indeed ! and what did you say?”
“ Blaise yer lordship, I said yer lordship
was /”
A tailor's goose. —A dashing foreman to a
tailor ifi Glasgow, dining in a mixed com
pany, wished to impress those present with
the immense importance of his services to
his employers. “Though I say it, that should
not say it,” quoth Snip, “if it was not for
me, our people could not carry on their bus
iness.”
“ 1 can very well believe you,” said one
of tlie party, “ I never yet heard of a tailor
who could carry on his business without his
goose!”
I am on oath. —A lawyer, not very young
nor handsome, in examining a young lady,
a witness in Court, made attempts to con
fuse her, and thus render her testimony con
tradictory and unavailing. She, however,
seemed to be calm and proof against all fri
volous questions put to her. At last the
lawyer, determined to perplex her, said,
“ Miss, upon my word you are very pret
ty.”
The young lady very promptly replied,
“I would return the compliment, sir, if I
were not on my oath /”
A$ may be supposed,the lawyer question
ed her no farther.
Church-rates. —A certain baptist spinster
of rather a free tongue, to which she was
giving unlicensed liberty in a late parish dis
pute about Church-rates, was thus reproved
by one of the opposite party :
“ Miss , you will recollect that dip
ping adults, according to your faith, first
came into fashion when parish ducking
stools for scolds went out; the one took the
place of the other. Be cautious : for tho’
9d>WIQISIBS9 HI HQ <® ia m A PH*
you are not young, vve may even before you
die go back to the good old practice.”
The grizzled damsel was nearly choked
with rage.
A complete yet puzzling answer. —“ Did,
or did you not speak of me, sir, the other
night 1” said a peremptory gentleman to a
fellow collegian, (now* eminent.)
“ I did or did not speak of you,” said the
respondent.
A Proclamation. —In the year 1547 a pro
clamation was issued by Henry the Eighth,
commanding “ that women should not meet
together to babble and talk ; and that all men
should keep their wives in their houses.”
A high compliment. —Sir B R ,
an Irish knight, was married to the daughter
of Lord C , a connexion of which the
knight was somewhat proud. Boasting of
this union once to a friend, he observed that
his lordship had paid him the highest com
pliment in his power. “He had seven
daughters,” said he, “and lie gave me the
ou/dest, and he tould me, too, that if lie had
an oulder I should have her.”
