“Come, aalltrr round (lie blazing hearth,
And with reflection temper mirth ’’
THfiJ FALLING LEAVES.
The sere leaves tremble to the breeze,
Lastofa bright and beautious throng,
That decked the broad and blessed trees,
When spring awoke to life and soi g.
They're gone—the earth is strewn around
With imazes of sad decay—
And sighing o'er the blighted ground
The withered leaves thus seem to say:
“We’re emblems of the human race—
We came—we flourished—and we died;
80 man w.ll rise in hloomand grace,
To fall and per ah by our side.”
Morning of Life. —At no pet inti of life
are less exempted from the cares and anx
ieties of the world, than in the morning of
our days. It is the season of childhood and
youth, that every day unfolds new pleasures
to oar opening minds, and every hour is
fraught with joy : beauty and delight ate
stamped upon every thing that attracts our
attention. Every object we behold seeins
inviting—the forest- the hill—the ocean
and the sky, have each their peculiar attri
butes of attraction, and our minds are often
filled to overflowing, with the gush of joy
that darts in upon us. But these seasons of
fanciful and reams are soon gone by • ere we
are aware of it, the tide of care has rolled
its mighty waves across our path, and our
bosoms are filled with untold anxieties about
our future prospects. And in a few years
more, where are vve 1 Mouldering hack to
our original. The place know us not, over
which we once trod with delight, and a
little hillock rising between two mouldering
stones, is all that remains to tell that we
were tenants of time.
Children —ye who have but lately com
menced the path of life—will ye not seek
for that which will not only make your way
more pleasant here, but will lead you
through rivers of joy. up to the paradise of
God ? Obey then the words of endless
truth ; and “ remember your Creator” in the
springtime of life ; remember Him hy daily
prayer and holy c-onversaton. Forsake all
those vain amusements that have a pernicious
tendency, and lead the mind away from
peace. I preach not austere and dignified
looks—nor would I have you rclinguish in
nocent and healthful plays; but I would
have you humble followers of Him who was
meek and lowly in heart. Then early re
nounce the ways of sin and folly—associate
not with those who profane the Sabbath, the
word, or name of Jehovah, and ymr will soon
find by happy expot ience that there is more
happiiress to be derived from the employ
ments of prayer and praise, than in all the
vain and unsatisfactory pursuits of a worldly
mind. Religion will fit you for every thing :
in life, and when the hour of death shall
have arrived, it will buoy up your spirits amid
the wreck of nature and transplant your soul
into the mansions of everlasting bliss.
The Goodness of God —The goodness of
the Almighty toward us, must appear in a
different shape from that in which it would,
were we not in a fallen and sinful state.
Now, his dealings with us must have a chief
reference to our recovery from sin, while
living in which we never can he happy, and
to deliver us from which, at the expense of i
anything, however good in itself, that lies in !
the way, the divine beneficence is pledged. :
Let this principle he applied to some partic
ulars in the experience of life. Health is a
great blessing ; hut if sickness produces a
seriousness of mind, an insensibility to the
intoxicating influence of the world, a sense
of dependance on the Almighty,all eminent
ly calculated to lead the heart to that repen
tance and amendment, from which, without
such a visitation, it might have been further
and father removed : at such a time, sick
ness is a much greater blessing than health.
The society and love of relatives and friends,
is orteof the most sweet and pure sources of
earthly enjoyment; hut if bereavement serves
to wean us from the empty vanities of this
wot Id, and to place our heaits and affections
upon the unfading realities of another, to
distinguish between those perishing quali
ties which attract the thoughtless, and those
noble and lasting endowments which God
seeks to bestow upon us, and which hind in
communion the inhahjMuts of heaven, to
look for the society and just men
made perfect, as the ultimate and incompar
ably better substitute for the too often heart
less and selfish intercourse of the most inti
mate companions of our earthly hours; then
may the loss of friends he regarded as a real
and lasting gain. As to wealth, it can hard
ly le called a blessing, because it proves so
often a curse, as to seem one of the most
common instruments with wh ch the doom
of tbe reprobate is sealed. Who does not,
know, from observation, as well as from the
testimony of the Saviour, that it is haul for
them that are rich toenter into the kingdom
of heaven, and that they who seek to he so,
fall into temptation and a snare, and into
many foolish und hurtful lusts, which drown
men’s souls in destruction and perdition !
On die other hand, it must be acknowledged
that poverty is an evil, and therefore it is
wise to desire, as safest, that mediocrity of
condition, with respect to worldly goods,
which is so beautifully expressed in the
prayer of Aga —“Give me neither poverty
nor riches, lest I he poor and steal, or lest 1
be proud, and take the name ofGhid in vain.”
It is among those who are thus blessed, that
industry and virtue ate to be found ; and
these ate they who constitute the bulwuik
of the church, as well as the slate.
The Wife. —It needs n.'t guilt to break a
husband’s heart; the absence of contempt,
the muttering* of spleen, tho u.ntidy dress,
and cheerless home, the furbiddi.ug scowl
and deserted hearth; these, and other ..’atne-
Iraa neglects —without a crime among tliei.u,
have harrowed to the quick the core oi
many a man, and planted there, beyond the
reach of cure, the germ of dark despair. Oh!
may woman before that sad sight arrives,
dwell on the recollections of her youth, arid,
cheering the dear idea of that tuneful time,
awake and keep alive the promises she then
to kindly gave; and though she may he the
injured, not the injuring one—the forgotten,
not the forgetful wife—a happy allusion to
that hour of peace and love-— a kindly wl>
come to a comfortable home—asmileof love ]
to banish hostile words—a kiss of peace to
pardon all the past, and the hardest heart
that ever, locked itself within the breast of
selfish man will soften to her charms, and
bid her live, as she lmd hoped, her years in
matchless bliss—loved, loving, and content
—the soother of the sorrowing hour—the
source of comfort, and Ihe spring of joy.
“ Habits are stubborn things” —and in
youth those habits are formed, which fix the
character forever. The Thief commonly
begins bis career in bis early years, and
marches fast from his neighbor's orchard to
the Whipping Post, or gallows. When a
young man discovers signs of intempeiance,
and indulges in the dram, vve have every
reason to believe, that the habit will be con
firmed, as he advances in life, and old age
will find him a sot. The young man plays
at games of chance, and the old man is a
gambler. The young man is a profligate,
the old man is abandoned. Vice is like the
oak :—it springs from a small beginning:—
in its infancy it is easily plucked up:—but
the longer it grows the more firmly it is root
ed ; and at last, bids defiance to tbe ordina
ry winds, storms, and tempest, and is destroy
ed only by the thunderbolts of heaven.
As the dove will clasp its wings to its
side, and cover and conceal the arrow that
is preying on its vitals—so it is the nature
of woman, to hide from the world the pangs
of wounded affection. With her the desire
of the heart has failed. The great charm
of existence is at an end. She neglects all
thecheerful exeicise that gladdens thespirits,
quickens the pulses, and sends the tide of
life in healthful currents through the veins.
Her rest is broken, the sweet refieshment
of sleep is poisoned by melancholy dreams
—“ dry sorrow drinks her blood,” until her
enfeebled frame sinks under the least exter
nal assaiimerit. Look for her, after a little
while, and you find friendship weeping over
her untimely grave, and wondering that one,
who lately glowed with all the tadiaiice
of health and beauty should now fie brought
down to “ darkness and the worm.” You
will lie told of some vvintiy chill, some slight
indisposition, that laid her low —but no one
knows the mental malady that previously
sapped her strength, and made her to easy
a prey to the spoiler.
Our life has been likened to a passing
shadow. This is emblematic of its transito
riness only. The hopes, the fears, the joys, j
the sorrows, the happiness and misery which j
make up the sum of human life, are not here j
set forth. We may consider life a consci
ousness of our own existence, as associated I
with the present. The spring of action,
with the body, with the mind, is the energy
of thought. In the extinction of these, we
have the idea of death.
Girls, remember, that the man who bows,
smiles, and says many soft compliments, has
no genuine love; while he who loves most
sincerely, stiuggles to hide the weakness of
his heart, and in doing this lie often appears
decididlv awkward.
