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. Y !n] H IK] HD GM ©CU® T , “ 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.
