“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. ©d>nrmm mis w mas <© m a asj w * AEWEKTOISIEMIEStnr®. A Card—To the Ladies! C F.
