“Conv', gather round the blazing hearth,
And wilh reflection temper mirth ”
CHANGE AND DECAY.
M The only amaranthine flower on earth,
Is virtue; the only lasting treasure, truth ”
When wo look abroad upon the earth we
find that every thing is subject to decay.—
All that is beautiful and lovely now, must
wither and fade. Proudly doth the rose sit
upon its parent stem; yet a little while atnl
its leaves will have fallen—its beauty gone.
The sweetest flower but blooms to tlie.—
The ancient and lofty castle, where once the
songs of tevelry resounded, and pleasure
marked each passing scene, how soon is it
left vacant! And every step of the silent
intruder is echoed through the spacious liall,
where the light and blithsome crowd once
moved in grandeur. Time is ever pursuing
its eager flight—swiftly are we borne from
one scene to another. Many of the com
panions of our youth have left us, to sojourn
in a distant land, engaged in the busy scenes
of life; others have found an early grave,
while few remain to cheer our earthly pil
grimage. The rose and the lily will fade
from the cheek ; the once sparkling eye be
come dim with age: but there is a flower,
even on earth’s ungenial soil which never
fades. It closely twines its tendrils round
the feeling heart. Fair Virtue is the name
of this unassuming plant. Fame and ap
plause are gratifying, blit the voice of an ap
plauding world may cease to please. Wealth
cannot satisfy the restless mind—transitory
and unstable arc all earthly joys: but there is
a treasure forever undiminished. It dwells
in the aspiring mind, and scatters its bles
sings on all who come within its influence.
It ever protects those who seek shelter be
neath its ample dome. Truth is the name
of this priceless treasure. Oil! may virtue
be our guide and stay —may truth evei shine
in our hearts! And though ali nature fade;
though our friends arc fast traveling to the
unseen land ; though our earthly course be
devious, yet while virtue and truth shall guide
our wandering steps, with an unclouded
brow and heart serene we can raise our
heads in the calm sunshine of prosperity, or
meekly bow beneath the storm, resigned to
whatever may he our earthly lot. And let
earth, with all its beauty, fade ; let it he all
delusion—for heaven is all reality, the home
and abode of each wandering child of earth.
We would rejoice that this is not our final
destination; “we would not live ahvay,”
but when we have enjoyed and suffered all
which is allotted us here, join our departed
friends in that happy country. And though
we grovel now amid the mists of error, yet
wc shall then bask in the sun of eternal truth.
And we would bid God hasten the day when
a united world shall swell the triumphant
song of victory overall the powers of dark
ness, and forever bask in the smiles of a Sa
vior’s love!
Aspiration ofMind. —Fix thine eye upon
a star in the infinite distance and depth of
heaven, what beam is that which visited thee
from afar, far beyond the precincts of solar
day? Through the slow revolutions of years
—I speak the astronomial fact, for aught
thou knowest, before thou wast created
—I speak the astronomical doubt , for aught
thou knowest, before the world was created,
that ray of light left its native sphere, and,
through distances awful and inconceivable,
through the silent lapse and slow revolu
tions of years unknown, that ray of light has
been traveling onward and onward, till it
has fallen upon thy poor weak sense. Now
follow it back on the line of its immeasura
ble progress, original shore, its home, which
it hath left to reach thee; and does thy
mind stop there ? No ; nor there nor any
where does it stop, hut beyond and beyond,
infinitely, to eternity it wanders ; and can
that mind say, that it is well enough in a lit
tle earthly comfort and a few worldly pos
sessions ? Can the soul that spans the uni
verse and measures ages be content with a
grain of sand upon this shore of time ? No.
Hold thou the measureless ocean in the hol
low of thy hand, and then mayest thou curb
the swellings of thought, passion and desire
to that narrow com pass. Gamerup treasures
of infinite worlds in thy coffer the affections
that are expanding to the grasp of infinity.—
No, mistaken soul ! thine eye spans the arch
of heaven ; thy soaring thought rises to the
external stars ; thine aitn must he broad and
boundless as those pathways of heaven. As
surely as thou livest, thou must live religi
ously and wisely. Sense is a good guide to
faith. Time should bear our thoughts, as it
is bearing our souls, to eternity.— Deu cy.
The Lesson of a Bird. —When quite
young, in my boyish days, I had watched
some sparrows carrying materials to build
their nests, (in ‘the usual season,) under
the eaves of a cottage adjoining our own;
and although strict orders lmd been issued
that none of us should climb up to the roofs
of the house, yet birds’ eggs formed a temp
tation too powerful to be easily resisted,
and self-gratification was considered rather
than obedience. A favorable opportunity
presenting itself, the roof of the house was
ascended, and not only was the nest pillaged
but seized and carried away. It was soon
stripped of all its unnecessary appendages,
that it might appear as neat as possible.
Among the external thus removed, was a
piece of paper, which hail been a page of
one of Dr. Watt’s hymn-books and which,
thrown away, had been taken by the poor
bird for the purpose of strengthening the
increasing its warmth. A word or
two caught my eye, ami I unfolded the paper.
Need I say that, hov as I was, I read these
verses with, to say the least, curious feelines.
“Why should I deprive my neighbor
Os his goods against his will ?
Hands were made for honest labor
Not to plunder nor (osteal.
“Gaurd my heart, 0 God of heaven,
Lett I covet what’s not mine;
Lert I take what is not given,
Gaurd my hands and heart from sin.”
Had the bird been able to read and rea
son, it could not have selected a text mote
appropriate for reproof and instruction
than tnis. What was contrived and done
“in secret,” was thus condemned from the
house-top.
AUTUMN.
’■ Summer Ia- flown on swallow’s wings,
At and earth hath buried all her flowers;
No more the lark —the linnet sings—
But silent sits in faded bowers.”
What! autumn again! Yes, gentle lca
’ dor, the ever-whirling wheels of the scyth
ed chariot of time are hutrying us resistless-
I ly on to another mile-stone in life’s journey,
where we shall soon cross the threshold of
anew year. Spring, with its breathing frag
rance, has mellowed into summer; summer,
” soft-eyed summer,” has sighed its sweet
adieu in the vales; and now pensive, mel
ancholy autumn, the season of wailing winds,
sorrowing rains, and intensely blue devils—
when the cricket chirps mournfully from his
retreat on the lit-up hearth, and the deject
ed-looking, heart-broken crow screams dis
mally from the blasted oak of the desolate
cornfield—is fast withering into winter.—
The green carpet of creation is gradually
becoming transformed into one of a more
yellow or sombre cast, and every thing in
nature reminds us of the perishableness of
things. The misty sky is filled with frost-strick
en leaflets, circling solemnly around, and
| slowly descending to the earth. The hills
are no more enlivened with the bleating of
the flocks, and the woodland no longer re
sounds with the melody of the feathered
songsters. The sun emits a dimmer beam.
The wind’s low sigh is faintly heard along
the hills; there is a dirge-like strain in the
sound, something that bespeaks the death of
the year.
Autumn is a season of calm and mel
ancholy retrospection. The mind naturally
| reverts to the past —the charming hours and
| happy days of youth and hope, of childhood,
j of innocence, and theitnages of many beloved
i ones with whom we once parted forever,
! and whose faces had become almost as for
i gotten dreams amid the hurry and distrac
j tions of business, and the petty cares and
j meannesses of life, crowd vividly hack on the
I memory.
“The eyes that shone,
Now dintm’d and gone,
beam on us again through the long vista of
departed years, with a kinder and mellower
lustre than of old, and the good hearts and
true, over which the cold green grass grows
silently, are again beside us. I’eacc to the
memory of the departed ! —they have closed
their eyes on the vanities of the world, alas !
too soon, unless at a season like the present,
a gush of better feeling can lead us to visit
their grave and drop over it the bright tear
of sorrow.
Mutual Love. —Surely there is nothing in
nature so lovely ns the union of two fond
devoted hearts. The picture is one equally
of moral and physical beauty. The slight,
fragile, depending damsel hanging in per
fect confidence on the arm of the manly, lof
ty and exulting youth—looking up into his
eyes in hope, while he returns the gaze with
pride and fondness. Unconscious of all
things hut the love which to them is life and
all things beside, they move along the cover
ed way and know not its solicitude —they
linger and loiter along the protracted paths,
and see not their length— cling togeth
er through the lengthened hours, and fancy
that they have lost no time—they hear each
other’s voices, and believe that life is all
music and delight.
¥U E W KQ© ¥ □
Be always as merry as ever you can
For no one delights in a sorrowful man.
A sworn anti-Tyler man. —“Hurrah for
Tyler,” shouted an admirer of the great ve
toist last evening.
“ To the devil l bob the whole breed, seed
and gineration of’em,” shouted an Irishman
who was present.
“ Hallo, old shillela !” said the other,
“ ain’t you a Tyler man ?”
“ Ainn't 1 a Tyler man ?” said the Irish
man, “ Is a monkey a mastlier of arts, I’d
like to know? No, I’m not a Tyler man,
nor eorra a one of the family', boys or girls,
iver was, barrin’ my father. Lord rest his
sowl, and didn’t he fall oft’ a house and git
kilt at the business ? And whin he was dy
in didn’t he call me to him and say, ‘Mickey,
avic,’ sis he, ‘ be a good hoy,’ sis he—and
the tears began to run down his checks like
balls down a ten-pin alley, or watber down
the falls of Niagara—l will, sis I. ‘ Pay Peg
gy Malovvney the fifteen pincelowe her for
three noggins of whiskey.’ I will, father
agra, sis l; ‘ and pay Father McFay for
saying three masses for mo sowl, when Pm
restin in glory,’ sis he. Troth I’ll do that,
too, father, sis I, if I was to lose Katty and
the childher for it. * Pm gettin wake, (weak,)
Mickey,’ sis he, ‘ and I’ve only a few words
more to say -av coorse, for the honor of the
family, you’ll niver forget the ovvld fight be
ttine the Mclntircs and us ?’ Niver, sis I,
while there’s a drop of tiie blood of the O’-
Doherty’s in me vanes. ‘ Niver let one of
’em away front a fair or market without lay
ing a stick to his head,’ sis he, and here me
father’s breathing became short, and he bud
jest time to say, before he closed his eyes
forever, * Mickey, Mickey, bury rne dacint;
cliuse any gintale business you like—list in
the army, turn trasher, or even become a
tailor, but niver, niver be a tiler,nor a tiler's
roan! You see what it brought me to.’—
With these words on his lips the poor owld
man died oft'; and that’s the raison I regis
tered a vow niver to be a Tyler man, and I
niver will while grass grows or water runs.”
Anecdote. — “My dear husband,” said an
amiable and witty wife to her truant lord, the
morning after returning home at a late hour,
somewhat the worse for an evening’s dissi
pation. “Do you think, really, that man
and wife are both one, as is sometimes said?”
“ Certainly, my dear, how shall it he other
wise ?” “Because,” she replied, “ if that he
the fact, I am bound to express my regret
and ask you (forgiveness for being imprudent
last night. Pardon me this offence, end I
promise you that 1 will never get drunk
again.” The rebuke was effectual.
Sad. —Six dandies fell info apoplectic fits
the other day, on learning that their tailor
had determined to do a cash business. This
is sail news to the poor fellows.
