“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.” AIWEGmSERffIENim Flection IVof ice !
