“Come, gather round the blazing hearth. And with reflection temper mirth “ The good old Man. —ln the afternoon of a beautiful summer day I walked out to en joy the freshness of the country. I soon lost sight of my residence, ami began to di vert my mind with the sight of surrounding objects. Already the sheep were entering their folds, and the cattle, with slow and thoughtful steps, were returning to their sheds, when, in an absent frame of mind, I found myself upon the borders ol a lake, and the night closing around. I was con templating the stillness ot the waters, the imthense majesty of the heavens, and the beautiful order and harmony of creation, when a voice aroused me from my medita tions. I turned my eyes, and observed near me a venerable old man upon his knees, praying with great fervor. I fixed my attention, and heard him utter these words: “ Oh thou, whose existence and infinite power are manifest in nature, Father of men, from thy lofty throne, surrounded with innumerable choirs of pure spirits, deign to listen to a feeble mortal, and receive his homage. “ In the silence of the night I raise my voice to adore thee, O eternal Intelligence, who hast created me from nothing. The universe, great God, is thy temple, and the immense heavens are the vault of that mag nificient church, whose priest is the pure and innocent man. How can senseless mortals be ignorant of that visible and uni versal wisdom which governs the world ? How in view of spheres that revolve above, the deep seas beneath, and the ti en sures scattered with such profusion over the earth, can they forget their great and benev olent Author ? “ 1 bless thee, thou supreme God, that thou hast cast my lot far from corrupt cities, and hast removed from me all pride and ambition. Thanks to thy paternal goodness, I have enjoyed for a century the true bless ings of life, competence and peace of mind. Thou hast never ceased to lavish upon me the blessing of thy love; even my last days are marked with thy goodness; abundant harvests fill my granaries; thou watercst my meadows, and my trees are exempt from the furies of the wind. To crown niy felicity, thou hast reserved to me the partner ofmy life, and the two children who make the delight of our days. My God! nothing I desire but to die before them ! The end of my days draws nigh. Soon my ashes will mingle with those of my fathers. When this shall be verified, I commend to thee my children. Have pity upon their tender mother! Watch over these dear objects ! O my God ! abandon them never !” Having uttered these words, his eyes were bathed with tears, deep sighs came from his heart, and respiration was nearly suspended. I imagined I saw something divine shine forth from his countenance. He rose tranquilly and retired to his house, where 1 heard him long after continuing liis blessings to God. The day began to dawn, and the little birds, with their cheerful songs, announced the rising sun. The laborer came forth to bis task, and, filled with admiration of what I had heard, I rose and returned to my house. Improve your Minds. —Young men, a great deal depends upon your own exertions, in regard to the cultivation of your minds. If you are diiitory and idle, spend hut a small portion of your time in study, and seek for pleasures in frivolous amusements of the world, you cannot expect to be dis tinguished for mental acquirements, or make any advancement in general knowledge. You must study. Read hooks from which you can gain the most information, not for the sake of saying you have read this or that work, but for the sole purpose of disciplin ing your minds. Some of you doubtless say, we have no time to study. We work hard through the day, aud at night we are too tired to read or turn over our hooks. But you can find time to study. There are stHl many hours in the day in which you are not employed. Some of you have at least one hour given you for your meals. Here you can save thirty minutes, which will make an hour and a half you will save during the clay.— Add to this half an hour in the morning, and an hour at night,and you will have three hours. Three hours a day—and we can not believe there is an individual who can not have as much time—three hour a day will amount to no less than thirteen weeks in a year. Now thirteen weeks in a year is no small portion of time—and in this pe riod, how much can yon study! Never say then, you have no time to devote to the improvement of your minds. Lose not a moment. Perhaps some of you have been in a goldsmith’s shop, and noticed how par ticular he is to save all his gold and silver things. He does l ight here. In a twelve month these filings amount to a large sum. In like manner you can save your fleeting moments. Should you be more careless and indifferent about your time, which for value and preciousness, cannot be compared to silver and gold ? Certainly not. Im prove your time, we say again, and we can not repeat it too often, improve every mo ment of your time.— Portland Tribune. Never Despond. —Keep up good spirits and never despond. If it is cloudy to-day you will see the sun to-morrow. A stout heart amid difficulties and discouragements, is worth a fortune. Whatever fails you, we pray you never suffer yourselves to yield a moment to doubt, or fear or despondency. Remember that a slight fault detected in time, and guarded against with the utmost vigilance, will result to your credit and hon or, and make the next difficulty more easy to overcome. The young dislike very much to have their wrong actions exposed to view. They would rather utter a false hood than be detected. But blessed is that youth, whose mind has been tempered in re ligion’s holy fount!—lie knows the value of a friend, who can spread to the eye tile cor ruptions of hia nature, and point him to a sate and easy remedy. Slanderers. —Slander is petty murder ; and that mail who wantonly assails the good name of his neighbor, lacks only the oppor tunity, with this disposition, to spill his heart’s warm blood. How revolting is it, that a living man, soon to die, and stand be fore Christ’s judgment seat, should, with mock solemnity, whisper in another’s ear tales concerning a third person, which lie knows, or has reason lo suspect, to be false. Wretched mortal! If Satan’s image is spe cially to be found on earth, where should vve find it but in such a lone ? The rattle-snake were as trusty a bosom friend as he ! He dares not put his hand in his neigh bor’s pocket, because the holts and bars, and chains of a prison would reward his pre sumption ; but he secretly sets in motion a report, which like the rolling ball of snow, small in its progress, until it is sufficient to overwhelm the guiltless sufferer upon whom it is directed. Innocence is no protection—virtue is no safeguard. The injured man, unconscious j of the gathering shade which threatens to bedim the brightness of his heart's best jew el, meets a friend with lightsome spirit; but ah! the wonted friendly pressure replies not to his hearty grasp. No words are need ed to tell him there is something wrong —the spirit needs not audible words—she lias a keenness of apprehension which is not al ways depending on sound phrases : a silent language is hers. Distressand anxiety come upon him ; but his endeavors to discover wherein he has offended are only so many convincing proofs of bis guilt. “And is it true I” one of his acquaintances inquires of another who is equally a stranger to the truth of the report. “ They say so,” is the reply; and thus their belief in its verity is mutual ly strengthened ; and they separate to scat ter with new zeal the seeds of defamation. Poor slandered victim! God help him i Ruined, not by himself, blasted by a foreign wind ; degraded, not by his own vices ; his name cast out as ari evil, undeservedly, is he not to he pitied? Can the slanuerer find a balm of healing virtue sufficient to cure and mood the heart be lias rent and wound ed ? The heart, bound up by the Good Physician, shall find peace and rest in a land where no slanderer can approach to defile it ! Can he be a child of God who delights in whispering about the faults of his brother ! Is a sanctimonious back-biter, fit company for saints and angels in heaven ? Could he prosecute his employment there, Imw long before heaven would be filled with wrang ling ? Would any heaven be left ? Is not the propagator equally guilty with the originator of slander ? Is it said, that he does not know it to he true. And where is the necessity for circulating a double as persion ? Does he wish to degrade a fellow worm ? Wherefore ! The poor brother has al ready his share of sorrow and of sins. Why crush him with a burden not his own ? But suppose the charge mainly true.— Who authorizesthe slanderer to set in judg ment on liis fellows ? Has be not piivate sins which he would shrink from laying bare to the public eye? Let him look within, his heart has a duik catalogue, hidden, in deed, but of deep enough dye to cover him withshame. Perhaps he has nevei felt this; he has never learned “the plague of bis own heart.” May God enlighten his eyes. It may be that liis offences are tenfold greater than those of the victim whom lie holds up to the scorn of the world. I, myself, know that I am an unworthy sinner; but still I pray, the Lord defend me from the touch of the back-biter; and the fang of the slanderer. Friends. —Experience has taught me that the only friends we can call our own— that know no change—are those over whom the grave has closed ; the seal of death the only seal of friendship. No wonder, then, that we cherish the nieiuoiy of those who loved us, and comfort ourselves with the thought that they were unchanged to the last. The regret vve feel at such affliction has something in it that softens our hearts, and renders us better. We feel more kind ly disposed to our fellow creatures, because we are satisfied with ourselves— first, for being able to excite affection ; and, second ly, for gratitude with which we repay it— to the memory of those we lost; but the re gret we prove at alienation or kindness of those vve trusted and loved, is so mingled with bitter feelings, that they sear the heart, dry up the fountain of kindness in our breast and disgust us with human nature, by wound ing our self-love in its most vulnerable part and showing that vve have failed to excite affection where we had lavished ours. One may learn to bear this uncomplainingly, and with outward claim : hut the impression is indelible, and be must be made with differ ent materials to the generality of men, who does not become a cynic, if be becomes nothing worse, after suffering such a disap pointment.—Byron. I saw a pale mourner stand bending over the tomb, and his tears fell fast and often. As he raised his humid eyes to heaven, he cried, “ My brother !—oh, my brother |” A sage passed that way, and said, “For whom dost thou mourn ?*’ “ One,” replied he, “ whom I did not sufficiently Jove while living; but whose inestimable worth 1 now feel.” “ What vvouldst thou do, if he were re stored to thee ?” The mourner replied, “ that he would never offend him by an unkind word, but would take every occasion to sbovv liis friendship, if he could but come hack to his fond embrace.” “ Then waste not thy time in useless grief,” said the sage; “but if thou hast friends, go and cherish the living, remembering that they will one day, be dead, also.” llow sweet are the affections of social kindness! how balmy the influence of that regard which dwells around our fireside! Distilist and doubt darken not the bright ness of its purity—the cravings of interest and jealousy mar not the harmony of that scene. Parental kindness and filial affec tion blossom there in all the freshness of an eternal spring. It matters not ifthe world is cold, if we can turn to our dear circle, and ask arid receive all that our own heart claims. B<dumhiiibibw sa asi®ie il il T Mi [HUM SM©[%oߥ o “ Care io our coffin adds a nail no doubt, But every grin of laughter draws one out!” Wasps in a Ball Room. —On Tuesday evening, the 20th ult., as two young men, who had been taking a wasps’ nest, were returning to Chesterfield, on approaching the town they were attracted to a house by the sounds of music and rejoicing. It pro ved to be a dwelling whete festivities in celebration of a marriage were taking place; and, claiming some acquaintance with the inmates, the young men joined the festive throng. The wasps’ nest, which was folded in a handkerchief, was placed in a corner of the room unknown to the company, and the dance proceeded. After a lime, the two young men above alluded to, took their de parture, leaving (whether intentionally or not, does not appear,) the nest in the room. The dance continued, when lo! one of the females made an equivocal sort ot move ment, arid a precipitate retreat from the house, her husband following close at her heels, anxious tolearn the cause of’his wife’s extraordinary conduct. Scarcely had the patty left the house, when a second, and a third, and a fourth ofthe female guests, ex hibited similar equivocal symptoms, follow ed by suppressed shrieks and bewildered looks. The male members of the company looked anxiously and inquiringly at the la dies, who in return, skipped about the room with wonderful agility, giving sundry indi cations that their mysterious movements could not be satisfactorily explained. Sud denly the ryeti became afflicted, though per haps not exactly after the same fashion as the ladies, and a very exciting, hut at the same time vety comical scene ensued, to at tempt to depict which would be a hopeless task : it may be imagined, but certainly can not be described. The cause of this de rangement of the festive circle W'as, how ev er, soon apparent. The fiddler, who was sightless, feeling something very sharp en tei his cheek, dropped his instrument, and applied his hands with great force to his face, bringing to the earth one of the mon sters that had been a source of annoyance. Suffice it to say, some of the wasps had es caped from confinement, and, in revenge for the punishment they had endured, crept up on the dancers, and inflicted their sting. As many as three and four wasps were found upon some of the females.— Derbyshire Chronicle. Fending Umbrellas. —Hopkins once lent Simpson, his next-door neighbor, an um brella. You will judge of the intellect of Hopkins, not so much from the act of lend ing an umbrella, but from liis insane endea vor to get it back again. It poured in tor rents. Hopkins bad an urgent call. Hop kins knocked at Simpson’s door. “ I want my umbrella.” Now, Simpson also had a call in a directly opposite way to Hopkins’; and, with the borrowed umbrella in his hand, was advancing to the threshold. “ I tell you,” roared Hopkins, “ I want my um brella.” “ Can’t have it,” said Simpson, at the same time extending the machine dedi cated to Jupiter plu.vius. “ Why, I want to go to the east end—it rains in torrents — what,” screamed Hopkins, “ what am I to do for an umbrella ?” “Do I” answered Simpson, darting from the door, “do as I did ; borrow one!” Things I like—hugely I—To1 —To see a young lady turn round half a dozen times, when she has passed by—merely to see if one is disposed to notice her. To see a poor hen-pecked husband at the sunny side of a barn nibbling at a cracker or an apple, because afraid his wife would see him doing it in the house. To hear a female voice squeak in the meeting house, by mistake, after the voices of the rest of the choristers have ceased. To see an old bachelor, in company, try ing to conceal a hole in his stocking. To laugh when a dog gets his head in a junk bottle, and can’t get it out again. To see ten unmarried daughters,from six teen to forty,sitting in the kitchen on a rainy day, live darning up old stockings, four knit ting new ones, and the tenth watching from the window the motions of a dripping roos ter under a cart. To see a good old lady hunt all over the house for her glasses, and finally find them on her own nose. To see a fat gentleman in tight clothes laugh till his pantaloons crack.— Exchange paper. The following anecdote is related on pret ty good authority. On one occasion when Mr. Clay was candidate for a seat in Con gress, lie was opposed by a gentleman who had lost an arm. After the election Mr. Clay took occasion to rally an Irishman who was under some obligations to him, for hav ing voted for his opponent. “Och I” said Patrick, “I like you, Mr. Clay, just ns well as ever, but they tell me that at Washington the people’s money is kept in a big bag,and that the Congressmen, as soon as they get there, all run to the hag and get out as much as they can ; and I thought that the man with one hand would not get out so much as you with two.” Dean Swift having preached an assiz,e sermon in Ireland, was afterwards invited to dine with the judges; and having in his discourse the use and abuse of the law, he had borne a little hard upon those counsel lors who plead causes which they knew in their conscience to be wrong. When the dinner was over and the glass began to go round, a young barrister who happened to be present, took occasion to retort upon the Dean, and after many altercations on both sides, the counsellor at lust asked him, “ If the Devil were to die, whether a Parson might not be found for money, to preach his funeral sermon.” “ Yes, and I would glad ly he tho man, for I would then give the Devil liis due, as I have this day given his children.” A butcher’s boy, carrying his tray on his shoulders accidently struck it against a la dy’s head, and discomposed her wig. “The deuce take the tray,” cried the lady in a passion. “ Madam,” said the lad gravely, “ the deuce cannot take the tray.” Speaking Aside.—A diffident genius, go ing to a clergyman to request him to pub lish the bans of matrimony, found him at work, mowing, alone, in the middle of a ten-acre lot, and asked him to step aside a moment, as he had something particular for his private ear ! A ready Retort. —A drunken lawyer go ing into a church, was observed by the min ister, who addressing himself to him, said, “ I will bear witness against that sinner at the day of judgment.” The lawyer shak ing his head with drunken gravity, replied —“ I luve practiced twenty years at the bar, and have always found that the great est rascal is the first to turn State’s evi dence.” Circuit Wit. —One of the clowns at Am phitheatre brings out the horse laughs occa sionally. Thirteen vest-strings were broken when the following was thrown off - : “ We had an awful storm once when I was out to sea on the Ohio canal—captain told us to take in all sail.” “ Take in all sail on a canal boat ! How did yon do that, sir ?” “Jumped ashore and knocked the horse down.”— N. O. Picayune. At an auction not long since, the auction eer whilst expatiating on the merits of a tel escope he was offering for sale, sagely ob served, “ How often the widow's heait leap ed for joy, when she beheld her husband at a distance, brought near to her by such an instrument as this!” “ Tlikool marra! thkool marm Ithaac thword !” screamed out a little lisping ur chin in school one day to his mistress. — “Isaac swore !” “naughty boy ! what did he say?” “He thaid—Goothe.” “Goose! naughty boy! Isaac don’t swear goose again.” AWiEKTOIMEINim Dissolution. THE firm of Whitish &, Coper was dissolved on the 23,i instant, l>y mutual consent.
