E^lEWOlKim,
“Come, gather round the blazing hearth,
And w ith reflection temper mirth.”
DFKGE FOR THE YEAR.
Orphan hours, the year is dead,
Come and sigh, come and weep !
Merry hours, smile instead,
For the year is but asleep.
See, it smiles ns it is sleeping,
Mocking your untimely weeping.
As an earthquake rocks a corse,
In its coffin in the clay,
So white winter, that rough nurse,
Rocks —the death-cold year to-day;
Solemn hours, wail aloud,
F’or your mother in her 6hroud.
As the wild air stirs and sways,
The tree-swung cradle of a child,
So the breath of these ruder days.
Rocks the year; be calm and mild,
Ye trembling hours, she will arise,
. With new love within her eyes.
January gray is here,
Liko a sexton by her grave;
February bears the bier,
March with grief doth howl and rave;
And April weeps—but, O, ye hours,
Follow with May's fairest flowers.
” Family religion is of unspeakable im
portance. Its effect will greatly depend on
the sincet ity of the head of the family, and
on his mode of conducting the worship of
his household. If his children and servants
do not see his prayers exemplified in his
temper and manners, they will be disgusted
with religion. Tediousness will weary
them. Fine language will shoot above them.
Formality of connexion or composition in
prayer they will not comprehend. Gloom
iness or austerity of religion will make
them dread religion as a hard serviee. Let
them be met with smiles. Let them he met
as for the most delightful service in which
they can be engaged. Let them find it short
savoury, simple, plain, heavenly. Worship,
thus conducted, may be used as an engine
of vast power in a family. It diffuses a
sympathy through the members. It calles
off the mind from the deadning effect of
worldly affairs. It arrests eveiy member
with a morning and evening sermon, in the
midst of all the hurries and cares of life.
It says. “ There is a God !” ‘ There is a
spit itual world V ‘ There is a life to come!’
It fixes the idea of responsibility in the mind
It furnishes a tender and judicious father or
master with an opportunity of gently glanc
ing at faults, where a direct admonition
might be inexpedient. It enables him to
relieve the weight with which subordination
or service often sits on the mindsof inferiors.
“ Religion should be prudently brought
before a family. The old Dissenters wea
ried their families. Jacob reasoned well
with Esau, about the tenderness of bis chil
dren, and his flocks and herds. Something
gentle, quiet, moderate should be our aim.
There should be no scolding; it should bo
mild and pleasant.
” I avoid absolute uniformity, the mind
revolts at it; though I would shun eccentri
city, for that is still worse. At one time I
would say something on what is read ; but
at another lime, nothing. I make it as na
tural as possible : “lam a religious man ;
you are my children and my servants ; it is
natural that we should do so and so.”— Cecil.
Family Love. —The spirit of family is the
second soul ofhumanity. Modern legisla
tures have too much forgotten this, ‘t hey
think only ot nations and individuals.
They omit the family, that only source of
a pure and healthy population ; the sanctu
ary of traditions and manners, in which all
the social virtues acquire fresh vigor, Leg
islation, ever since the introduction ofChris
tianity, has been barbarous in this respect.
It repulses man from the family, instead of
encouraging it in him. It interdicts, to one
bull ot mankind, wifi-, child, the posession
of a home or field. It owes these blessings
to all as soon as they arrive at manhood. It
ought to have interdicted them only to cul
prits. A family is society in tuinature; but
it is that society in which the laws are nat
ural, because they are sentiments. To in
terdict a man from the posession of family
comfoits, should have been the greatest rep
robation, the last punishment of law. It
should have been the only pain of death in
flicted by a humane and Christian legisla
tion. The punishment of death ought to
have been abolished centuries ago.
Why may not I too ?—“ Father,” said a
young man once, to a patriarch of the moun
tains, who is still living, (after being told
that he must not go with half a dozen idle
fellows, who had come to invite him) —
“ father, why is it that you deny me those
privileges which other parents grant so rea
dily to their sons of my age!” “David,”
said the father, after lifting tip and leaning
his head upon the top of his hoe handle, “I
have lived much longer in the world than
you have, and I see dangers which you lit
tle suspect. These young men are in a bad
way. Such habits of idleness, and this go
ing about to horse races, will ruin them.—
You will see, if you live, that some of them
will get into the State’s Prison, by and by,
und it is well if they do not come to the gal
lows. Tit esc are my reasons for wishing
you to have nothing to do with them.” Da
vid was satisfied. Years rolled away.—
Those young men soon spent their patrimo
ny, and fell into dissipated habits. From
Btep to step they went on, till the prediction
of the patriarch was literally fulfilled. Two
or three of them were sent to the State’s
Prison, and one at least was hanged.— Dr.
Humphrey.
One of the most agreeable consequences
jA kowledge is the respect and importance
which it communicates to old age. Men
rise in character often as they increase in
years ; they are venerable, from what they
have acquired, and pleasing from what they
can impart. If they outlive their faculties,
the mete frame itself is respected for what
it once contained.
A continual sense of the Divine presence
is the best and only restraint from vice;
the strongest and most encouraging motive
to virtue.— Wogan.

“ Care to our cofiin adds a tiail no doubt,
But every grin of laughter draws one out!”
Connubial Hoolcs and Eyes. —Amelia
Simcox, in a letter to a Western editor, un
bosoms her wrongs as follows :—“ I marri
ed Simcox eight years ago, at which time
my gowns were fastened by eight hooks
and eyes. Now, sir, you will readily con
ceive that no woman can completely hook
and-eye herself. Whilst a spinster, she ob
tains the aid of her sister, cousin, mother, or
Betty, the maid. When she becomes a
married woman, the hook-and-eye dutv nat
urally devolves upon her husband. For the
first year of my marriage, Simcox, like ati
affectionate husband, liooked-and-eyed the
whole eight; the second year, he somewhat
peevishly icstricted his attention to seven ;
the third to six ; the fourth to five ; the fifth
to four; and so. on decreasing, until this
morning—the anniversary of our eighth wed
ding day—when you would have supposed
him possessed by the dearest and fondest re
collections, be dropped another hook-and
eye, intimating to me that for the term of
lib natural life lie should restrict himself to
one—the hook-and-eye at the top. As I
know, Mr. Editor, yon have a crowd of fe
male readers, I thought it a duty I owed to
my sex to warn them, through the medium
of your columns, of the craftiness, and—l
must say it—the selfishness of man. They
will, l hope, take warning by my condition,
and, ere they enter into matrimony, stipu
late for a due performance of toilette atten
tion on the part of their husbands. Whilst
in our pride, we women temember that mar
riage has its bonds, let not the men forget
that it has also its llooks-and-Eyes .”
“ Perfect Love." —“ A “ Saw.” —One of
the tallest sort of “saws” that we have for
a longtime beard, took place one day last
week, down street. An affectionate young
married gentleman, purchased a bottle of
the rarest quality of “ Perfect Love” Cor
dial to take as a peace offering to bis dear
wife. On his way home he stepped into a
store, and when he went out—forgot to take
his bottle along with him. No sooner was
he through thedoor, than two waggish clerks,
who had eyed the bottle eagerly, ran up and
established a close survey of bottle and con
tents. Both were found to be charming.—
In two minutes more the bottle was emptied
of “ Perfect Love,” and filled with whole
some cold water, and a little red-ink added
to give the proper tint to the article. Pre
sently in came the owner, puffing, in pur
suit of his lost “ Perfect Love.” Delighted
to get it once more, he sailed off for home,
and entered the house with thecheering con
sciousness of favor which all young married
men feel, who tal.e a bottle of “ Perfect
Love” to their sweet young wives. He was
received with a kind smile, and no doubt a
ki— hem s and then proceeded to draw the
cork and present a glass of the richly flavor
ed cordial to her own more ruby lips. He
watched complacently the delicious tide, as
it passed the pearly gates of her mouth, un
til all was fairly “sucked in.” But then
what a change. Her astounded look struck
terror to his heart. \\ hat she thought when
the full taste awakened her palate, we know
not. Perhaps she thought of jealousy, poi
son, and all that—but sure we are the mat
rimonial thermometer went down 20 de
grees, until the truth finally came out, and
made fun for a crowd. The gentleman,
however, is still rather sore on the subject
of “ rarfaite Amour.”
Reciprocal Forge fulnees. —Captain R—n,
of this port, who had been from home a year
and a half, wrote to his wife that he had ar
rived at London, and intended to he at Bar
ton, where he wished her to meet him on a
certain day which he named. The lady
was punctual to the appointment, and so was
the captain. They met at Waterside Hotel,
but strange to say, did not know each other.
At length Mrs. R n became restless and
impatient, frequently going to a window mid
“peering out” in the direction of the Lou
don road. This the captain observed for
some time in silence, but at last ventured
to ask her it she was waiting for any person.
“ 1 expect my husband, Captain R n,
will be here every instant,” answered the
lady. “ Bless me !” exclaimed he, “ why
then you are my wife, but may I be keel
hauled if I knew your colors.” The result
of the discovery was a friendly kiss and
mutual congratulations.
YUM IP I K A nT© E c
O, that men should put an enemy in their mouths,
to steal away their brains! that we should, with joy,
revel, pleasure, and applause, i rune form ourselves into
beastsl—Suaksi-eare. #
Sec Him ! —There he stands ! The mouth
of the drunkard, you may observe, contracts
a singulurlysetisitive appearance—seeming
ly red and rawish ; but he is perpetually
licking or smaking his lips, as if his palate
were dry and athirst. His is a thirst that
water will not quench. He might as well
drink air. His whole being burns for a
dram. I tie whole world is contracted into
a calker. What a snout he turns up to the
morning air, inflamed, pimpled, snubby, and
dirty, and with a nob at the end on’t, like
one carved out of n stick by the knife of a
school-hoy—rough and hot to the very eye,
a nose which rather than pull, you would
submit even to be in some degree insulted.
A perpetual cough harasses and exhausts
him, and a perpetual expectoration. How
his hand trembles i It is an effort even to
sign his name ; one of his sides is certainly
not by any means as sound as the other;
there has been a touch of palsy there; and
the next hint will draw down his chin to his
collar hone, and convert him, a month be
fore dissolution, into a slavering idiot. A
dram-drinker—faugh! faugh! Look over
—lean over that stile, where a pig lies wal
lowing in mire—of the two beasts, that
bristly one, a grunter in sensual sleep, with
its snout snoring across the husk-trough, is
as a physical, moral anti intellectual being,
superior to you, late Major regiment,
now dram-drinker, drunkard, and dotard,
and self-doomed to a disgraceful and dis
gusting death.

Our Schools offer every inducement to parents and
