I weep for thee, sister! I weep that thy morning, While life pours around thee its tide of delight. Should darken thus sadly, anti now o’er the dawning Affliction should gather the blackness of night. I weep that the hopes which thy bosom hath cherish’d Thus blasted untimely should haste to decay ; I weep that thy joys in their blossoms have perish’d, And borne on the tempests are scatter’d away. I weep that a heart, —one so dear to thy brother, So dear in our childhood, so dear to him now, — Is stricken with anguish ; might J be another, Then mine be the sorrow, —no grief should it know. I weep that the smile, which once flitted in gladness Across thy fair cheek, should be check’d in its play ; I would I might dash from thy brow all its sadness, And fling o’er thy spirit, e’en one cheering ray. Yet murmur not, Sister! though deep be thy sorrow, Nor yield in thy anguish to heavy despair; But cheer thee, ray sister! and look on the morrow, And gather the flowers which hope scatters there. Resign’d be each feeling,—’tis He who hath lov’d thee, That comes in His mercy to bind thee with pain ; Thy will be thy Father’s! and when he hath prov’d thee, Still brighter and sweeter shall life be again. New HaYeN, Conn. C. R. From the Knickerbocker. NOTES BY A RETIRED SCHOLAR. Memini bene ; sed meliori Tempore dicam.—Horace. Quod cumque incident in mentem.—Terence. PATRIOTISM. Is Patriotism a mere ncme? A vague no tion, which the smart of oppression alone makes a realily? Was Leonidas, who died for it, an enthusiast? Is our admiration of Roman virtue a dream? A simple-hearted man, who, from a limited experience, looks out upon the intrigues of politicians, their pliancy, their low fellowships, their self-con tradictions, their falsehoods, might well doubt. Yet the love of our country hath reason in it; it belongs to humanity, and cannot be severed from if. It has a virtue too. It warms the blood, strengthens our bust pur poses, adds to otir sense of personal dignity. Our country is our larger home. Our fellow citizens are kinsfolk. Our words are the same—is not our heart one? Therefore, we love our country. But to love deeply, the heart craves always somewhat outward and visible, to which it may attach itself, and which shall become to it a symbol of the idea it loves. The oak which shaded our boyhood, the fountain which moistened our patched lips, when the day’s sport had wearied us, as they are abiding memorials of our home, will not suffer our love of that home to per ish or decay. Oor country gives us lew me morials of itself, and has no visible form. Our constitution is that oak, not ‘gnarled, 5 but ‘ unwedgeable. 5 That fountain of plenteous prosperity is our union, from which we drink, all of us. But it requires an effort to regard them so, and men seldom love abstractions; and the wise may well star, lest, in a country so vast as ours, and under a government go simple in its forms, a short-sighted selfishness may finally come to govern the mass of our people, and a worse and meaner selfishness its more active spirits. In the more heroic exhibitions of patriotism, there has always been another element than love. It may be called the element of wrath. Grounded on a sense of right, when that right is invaded,it becomes indignation; when trampled on, fierce resistance. This it is which brings life into peril. He who in quiet times shows his love for his country, by in dustry, and good faith, and orderly obedience to her laws, when her hour of trouble conies, and her name may be dishonored, or her freedom circumscribed, shall stain liis hearth stone with his blood lor her sake. We have been led to these thoughts, if they are worthy of the name, by reading again tire ‘ Lever and Schwert 5 of Theodore Korner. The source of inspiration was an ardent patriot ism. The feeling lived in him. It was his life. He possessed it in all its elements, of personal interest and hope, of fond attach ment to the land of his fathers, reverence for its time-honored institutions, jealousy for its fame, sympathy for the suffering, and a right eous hatred of the invader. Originaiiy of a poetic temperament, endowed with a fine fancy and meditative enthusiasm, this passion furnished an. object, and gave a direction, to them all. If lie gazes on a bust by Rauch, of Queen Louise, he is alive to its beauty, but stronger is the sentiment which prompts the earnest prayer to her, to he ‘ct/i guter engel fur die gutc sache a guardian angel to the righteous cause. A lorest of oaks reminds him of only his country, in their grandeur and in their decay; and solemnly sad, even, is tHe closing line of his brief poem, ‘Die Eichen : ‘ Thy oaks yet stand, but thou art fallen. 5 Whatever is the theme of his song, the current of his feelings ever leads to the sorrows, hopes, and rpvenge of his country. If a prayer, it is addressed to the god of battles; if a drinking song, it is for his breth ren in arms. His poems, thus inspired, move us like the neighing of a war-horse. They rouse the blood, like the voice of a trumpet. Let the patriot soldier, who would find a generous companionship for his own noble devotion, or. if such there be, who would re kindle iheexpiring flame of a true and heroic love of his country, with the war songs of Tyrtaeus, and ihe Bannochburn of Burns, become daily familiar with the bright inspira tions of Korner. TIIE CHRISTIAN RELIGION. Most writers on the internal evidence of the Christian Religion, have drawn their ar guments from the pureness of its morality, and its fitness to the circumstances and ne cessities of man. These sources of evidence, as they have been skilfully explored, have been also wisely chosen. For in morals, whatever doctrine is pure, is so far forth true ; and that which is a tilting and exact coun terpart to what, in our experience, we have known to be , has the evidence of truth and reality in that very similitude. Yet other views may be taken, which may open some minds to a clearer conviction, and add some what to this vast argument. It may be said, that the Christian Scrip tures alone contain a system of morals, which is true of an absolute truth, in its fundamental principle. Here, most of all, the wit of man is at fault. Here is the jarring paint, the beginning of discrepancies, which have made fools laugh, and wise men weep, and have taught all an unwise and perilous distrust of human reason. Moralists have erred in the starting point, and their labor lias been often vain, and often has it led them into wild wastes and quick-sands. U’ilitv is not the sole ground of obligation, nor the sole virtuous quality of actions. Sympathy is not the source of all our moral sentiments, an 1 is at best a ques tionable guide. JVatnram sequere , needs a wiser interpreter than most men are, and if it be a sound rule, it is difficult to be applied. Now the excellence of a theory of morals, considered as a theory, is, that the elementa ry idea lie, if it may be, absolutely and uni versally true, or as nearly as the nature of the case will admit, an axiom. But in the whole range of moral ideas, and obligations, there is no one \yhich carries with it so ample a conviction of its truth and reality, as that * the love of God is the primary duty of gil moral creatures. There is no proposition iu morals from which this duty can be deduced, which does not need demonstration as much, or more than it; there is none therefore more elementary. Moreover, all other duties ap propriately moral, (as distinguished from such as are merely natural, as compassion,) are consequences, or rather exemplifications, of this. Slate it, let the terms be made in telligible, and be the will ever so perverse, be the heart most thoroughly polluted, no moral being can withhold his assent to its justness and binding force. It is self-evident. The Bible is the only treatise on morals, in- which this principle is made the centre, is assumed as the indemonstrable,from which all other duties are to flow. Asa matter of mere logical arrangement, then, ancf much more, it might be shown, of moral efficiency, the Christian system approaches nearer the perfect than any other. Nav, it is the very ideal. None more perfect is conceivable or possible. The pure ideal is pure truth. In a similar manner, it may be shown, that the system of the universe revealed in the Bible, the theory of cause and effect, is the most perfect. The being of a God is assumed as axiomatic ; .in elementary truth, into which, as a first prin ciple, all effects are to be resolved. In truth, the order in which we acquire ideas, is the reverse of their true logical order; first, the particular, then the general; first, the finite; after, the infinite. The particular does not contain or infer the universal; it is mere'y the token or exponent of it, pointing out to our minds that, which once perceived, shines bv the clearness of its own truth. We at tain the knowledge of a God, our conviction of his being as the great cause, by our previ ous knowledge of effects, especially of our own spirits, his most mysterious creation. When once we have apprehended this idea, it becomes to us an absolute truth, as neces sary as that of space, or any other. It is not then so properly a demonstrable, as an ele mentary truth, involved indeed in every pro position, at least in every one which express es a fact, and imparting to them all their meaning and force, while it derives neither from them. The teachings of the Scriptures in this, coincide with the conclusions of the highest reason, and partake of their absolute verity. Yet, after ail that can be said in the way of reasoning, it must never be forgotten, that a truly effective belief of the Christian religion, is an essentially moral conviction, inwrought upon the soul by its own spiritual experi ence. He has not yet overstepped the threshhold of the temple of heaveniy science, who has still to learn, that spiritual truth must be ‘spiritually discerned;’ that the heart, no less than the head, hath its eye; that not only to appropriate, hut to under stand it, even, we must first love. The mo ral affections are doubtless subject to their own law, vet within its scope, they .are free as the roving and chainless air ; and so this faith must he spontaneous and chosen, for it is of the heart. Though it often arises in every heart, it does not force itself upon any. The great law of duty, unchanging and spi ritual, ever above us, and ever binding upon us, follows us with its unevadable claim, through every modification of our being, like the flaming sword which ‘ turneJ every way,’ guarding the entrance to Paradise; yet we may close our eyes upon its intolerable brightness, and turn away from it to the dreariness of our own chosen circuit. A flash from that light may sometimes reach us in our sad wanderings, but, without our own will, it shall not restore us. Still, let not tire searcher after divine truth imagine that this faith, though it be a moral election, can be created by a mere will. Often it groweth upon us like the morning light, so dim and feeble in its early coming, that the sense hardiv takes notice of its approach, or wonders whence and wherefore it comes at all; more and more it swells, and stretches itself abroad, and gilds every mountain top, and passes down into the deep sunken val leys, till, flung back from every radiant point, rock and river, lake and leaf, it gains an in tenser radiance from its very reflection. It is an unfolding apprehension of the eternal and eternally diverging discordancy of holi ness and sin, a sense of personal sinfulness, growing up to the full pressure of law upon the heart. With this comes the full need of a religion, not originating in the sentiments, or fashioned after the models of this world, bringing principles simpler and purer, and hopes higher and holier. When the awaken ed soul gives itself up, in perfect trust in the revelations of its own consciousness, to the contemplation of hopes and principles thus disclosed, and rests in the rule and model testified to by its inner and higher being, and knows that to realize them is not of its own might, but from above, the discipline is be gun; the region of fire that far around en circles the eternal throne, is entered. The law hath entered the soul, and though the law is the minister of death, it is a death which precedes life. Then, when the soul ungtrds itself of its strength, and finds a power dese< nding to meet its aspirations, and breathing strength upon them, is given an appreciation of the surpassing worth and beauty of holiness, tnd a sense of sin hated and loathed, which are the first buddings of spiritual and eternal life, and hope reaches upward, and faith becomes consum ate, resting peacefully on the divine word, and goes on to its perfect worK.

BUCHANAN. ‘ What care I, maidens, though his name Be all unmeet for song 01 story V—New Song. 4 Ned ! brother Ned ! just listen here ! ‘ Married, at , on , Jonas Jen kins, Esq., to Miss Helen Scott.’ Jonas Jen kins! ha! ha! who would ever have dream ed that a girl of Helen Scott’s taste could marry a man with a name like that!: Jonas Jenkins ! — Mrs. Jonas Jenkins l—how it sounds!’ 4 Well, Clara, ‘ what’s in a name . v 5 ‘ Shocking!—if there’s any thing Ido de test as much as a vulgar name, it is a hack neyed quotation !’ ‘Humph! I was going to add, however, that your friend Helen lias made what her circle would call an excellent mateh. I know Jenkins well. He is a man of fine person, fine abilities, and, yet more, fine fortune.’ 4 And what of all that, with such a name? I would not marry an Apollo endowed with a Fortunio’s purse, if he bore a name like that!’ 4 Ahem!’ 4 You reed not look so quizzical.’ 4 So what:’ 4 You knew my notions about names long aero, Edward.’ e< I thought I had cured you of them long ago, Clara.’ 4 No, indeed ! ! don’t intend to lie cured a? long as I have reason on my side. Such names as Johnson, Jackson, Thompson, to sav nothing of Smith, Green, Biown and Black, which can be so readily traeed to their rources, are my aversion ; they are so very parvenu.’ ‘ Parvenu ! what a word for an American girl! I supple, then, that such as tMrncm and Mortimer and Montague and Fitz this, and St. that, would suit your fancy better ?’ ‘Nonsense ! lam not so silly as to go to trashy old novels for names. * I would as soon think of selecting Belinda, and Dorinda, and Melissa for Christian names. I like those that bear something consequential in them— something respectable—something—some thing— 5 ‘ Aristocratic— l fiat’s ihe word you are ashamed to let nut—something like Howard, or Sidney,or Herbert would do? ha !ha !’ ‘Exactly! 5 and Clara Calvert ran out of the room to escape her hroiher’s raillery. ‘ We must rid her of this foible, 5 remarked Edward, gravely, to bis eldest sister Ger trude, who was now at home for the first time after leaving it as a bride, and who sat smiling at the colloquy. Clara reappeared. ‘I had intended, Clara, 5 said Edward, ‘to invite my friend, William Benson, to visit me this summer, but am now induced to change my mind. 5 ‘ You mean the young man who took half the honors from you at college, and who de livered that oration so full of every tiling sub lime and beautiful and original, which I ad mired so much, when I read it ?’ ‘ The very same ; but I have concluded that his common place name might prevent you from receiving him as he deserves. Your etymological skill might make the disagreea ble discovery through it that one of his an cestors was the sou of a man named Beu.’ > Clara looked a little confused. ‘You know I wouldn’t mind that in your friend, though. 5 ‘ Notwithstanding, I shall not submit hint so your condescension, 5 returned Edward as he left tier. The next evening Clara and her sister were sitting together in the parlor— ‘ In dusk, crc stars v.-cre lit or candles brought ;’ the latter looking musingly out upon the twi light, and the former thoughtlessly twanging her guitar. ‘ I’ll play that old drawl, ‘ Davit of absence, 5 for von, Ger. 5 said she ; ‘ I know you’re thinking about Henry,a’n’t you? 5 As she spoke, Edward ushered a gentle man into the room, introducing—‘My sisters, Mis. Huntley and Miss Calvert—my friend Mr. Demijon. 5 Clara sat for a moment as if thunderstruck, and then gave a nudge of unmiMakahle im port to Gertrude, who with her usual lady like composure, had commenced addressing Ihe stranger. ‘ ! wonder what he eon look like,’ thought she ; ‘ bis voice, at all events, does not sound as if it catne out of a demi jon.’ It was very melodious, and his replv to her sister particularly graceful, yet still she feared to speak lest a word might Ring her ill-suppressed laugh altogether out with it. At length the lamps were iighled and Clara eagerly surveyed the visiter. He was what her young lady friends would have pro nounced, ‘ decidedly a very elegant looking fellow ;’ a phrase, of course, too hackneyed to be taken up by her fastidious lips. Ilis features were remarkably handsome, and wore an expression which proved the Lumps of mirth conspicuous on his well developed forehead bv no means misplaced, and which could trot fail to be attractive to a damsel as vivacious as the one engaged in the scrutiny. The conversation of ihe visiter was so fas cinating !hat Clara’s risibility soon yielded to it, and before an hour, she caught herself wishing from the bottom of her heart that there should have been cause so just to give it rise. ‘ Poor man! how much he is to he pitied! 5 she said to herself; ‘with concep tions and sensibilities such as he must have to talk as he does, how well lie must he aware of the ludicrousness of his name, and how keenly he must fee! it! 5 and when lie find taken leave for the night, her compas sion would not allow her to finish the jest she had thought it necessary to attempt at his expense. The gentleman called again the next morn ing, and Clara was vet more pleased with him by daylight than she had been the even ing before, and by no means dissatisfied when her brother told her that he had invited his friend to pass a few days in the family. ‘He is a very interesting man,’ said she, and she fell into a deep study. A ray of hope shot across her mind. Pet haps his first name might be more agreeable. She questioned Edward accordingly. ‘Name again t’ returned he, raising his finger. 4 1 am sure I have an excuse for it now ; r replied Clara, almost seriously. 4 Well, here is his card.’ Clara snatched ii eagerlv ; 1 John M. De mijohn P ‘ forgive me, Edward, but—really —I can’t help—laughing! it is such an ab surd name!—you must confess that your self!’ Edward and Gertrude both smiled. Mr. D , for so Clara arranged his name in her reveries, soon became domesti cated among them. Edward, a competent j judge in matters of that kind, held his talents! and attainments in high estimation ; Ger trude helieved him to he as superior in cha racter as intellect, and Clara herself thought him the most polished gentleman she had ever seen. He accompanied her music to her utmost satisfaction, read exquisitely, was an admirable horseman—in short, he pos sessed innumerable attractions, and, with these in view—the consequences may be guessed. Mr. Es ’s visit had been lengthened i to belter than a month, when, one morning, after he had been idly screwing the keys of Clara’s guitar for some minutes whilst she sat working near him, lie stopped suddenly, and announced his intention of making his departure the next day. Clara started a net endeavored to raise her eyes to his face, hut they would not obey her, and then as ineffectually she attempted to speak. The gentleman arose, struck the guitar against the table till the strings’vibrated; picked up a sheet of music and threw it down again ; opened his lips as if there was some thing to be said, but did not succeed in get ting it out, and abruptly hurried from the room: 4 Oh ! how 1 wish Gertrude were here !* half sobbed Clara. Gertrude had left the week before. Edward entered. ‘Why, Clara, child,’ exclaimed he, ‘ what’s the mutter ? Look up here; whv, upon rny word, your eyes are quite red ! —how could you have, so little taste, as to sit with a gentleman in that trim ? let’s hear what ails you ?’ 4 Nothing, brother F.dward.’ ‘ls thai all? Oh then ! I need not concern myself about you. I have reason to do so about something else though—Demijohn in tends leaving us to-morrow —did he tell you so? Really, Ciara, you seem as much agi tated at my news as any young lady could he who had serious aspirations to become Mrs. John M. Demijohn!’ Ciara burst into tears. Edward paused a moment, and then went on. 4 You don’t usuailv let my teasing di tress you so, Clara ; 1 beg pardon. But to mir subject. I have not asked him to pro long his stay; I think it best to allow trie I poor fellow to yo v.hilft he hca.a fit tie rem nant of his heart to take with him, which would certainly not be the case if he remain ed much longer with you. As it is, Mound it necessary to give him a hint of your preju dice about names, and left him to infer that, of course, his cause would be hopeless— 5 ‘ Oft Edward ! how could you P interrupt ed Clara with a sob; ‘don’t, don’t, I beg, think of my folly airy more !’ ‘I must, and will, Clara, till I know you are cured of it.’ 4 So 1 am, indeed —altogether.’ ‘ Are you sure ?—quite sure ?’ ‘ Dear Edward, for pity’s sake, don’t jest now.’ ‘ We!!, I have no objection to believing 1 you, there are others to he convinced of it besides myself;* said her brother, beckoning through a window to his guest who immedi ately joined them— 4 and first of all, Bensoh, here—my old friend William Benson—don’t get so pale, Clara—why—what fiightens you? this name is not more terrihie than John M. Demijohn, is it? You may debate that point between yourselves, however, and in half an hour or so, I will be in againtw hear your conclusion.’ A week or two after, Gertrude received a letter from Edward, of which a passage ran tints: 4 And lastly, dear Ger., our plot suc ceeded admirably. Benson endured the so briquet until I was convinced that she would gladly have shared it with him, and now, though of course she is not sorry that he is rid of it, as who would be? I think the whim is pretty fairly eradicated. You and Henry must hurry back, as soon as possible, til'in struct the young folks in the duties of mar ried life. f< >r B is urgent to assume them, and, in spite of my wiser judgment, has persuaded our little sis. that, at eighteen, she is quite advanced enough in reason and years for their comprehension and fulfilment.’* WHITTLING. Our caption, although so universally belov ed, and extensively practised, has never re ceived tiie scratch of a pen, either pro or cun. It is a matter of proliiund wonder and” surprise to us, .hat so momentous a subject should have so long escaped the literary acumen of the age. It is a subject that is at once fraught with the deepest philosophy, and indicative of the light and shadows of the human mind. An attentive observer in a whittling community, may gather more of the knowledge of human nature in one year, by scanning the vvhittlers, than by a study of the best authors tor ages. We are some what curious in such things, and have kept a memorandum ol our observations in this mat ter, which, upon referring to, we find runs a* tbllows: When a man is poor and moreover per plexed,—lie draws the knife towards him, and cuts very delicately—head depressed. When a man of family has expended the last cent he had liir bread, and his children are crying for more, his hat is drawn over his eyes —he whittles the end of his stick cross grained —is impatient—moves his posi tion every minute. If a man he clear of duns, and gets enough to live on daily—lie whittles from him slowly ; shaves very lightly ; hat in a natural and easy position, looks complacent and good natured. If a man he above the wants of the world, and in a moderate business, his hat is raised so as to give a full view of the face; stand* erect; whittles from him rattier fast; occa sionally whistles. it’ a man is getting rich very first, and every thing prosperous, h haft inclines to the back of the head a little; cuts thick shavings with great rapidity; stands so erect fie bends over the other way; and if lie meets a friend, his first salutation is, ‘Come, let’s go and take something.’ If a man drops info a fortune unexpected ly, t fie rim of lus hat in front, is turned up; he cuts and shaves off his stick with a perfect looseness; lie seems to feel as though lie cou Id’n t tell how he feds; if any of the Duke of Wellington’s crippled soldiers happen to pass him, he gives five dollars with a perfect nonchalance. If a man be in love with a fair prospect of success, he cuts with the back of the knife as often as with the edge, and perfectly at ran dom ; he is often times detected talking with himself; saying tender things to his dnlcinea and manufacturing suitable replies. On the whole, bis expression of countenance is lacka daisical and foolish in tire extreme; so say* Bub Gaston. Extract cf a letter from JV. P. Willis. —- The first of September, and a frost ! The farmers from the hills are mourning over their buckwheat, Imt the river-mist saved all which lay low enough for its white wreath to cover: and mine, though sown on the hill side, is at mist mark, and so escaped. Nature seem* to intend that I shall lake kindly to farming, and has spared my first crop even the usual calamities. I have lost but an acre of corn, I think, and that by crows, whoa re privileged marauders, welcome at least to build in the Omega, and take their tithe without rent-day or mol station. I like their noise though dis cordant. It is the minor in the anthem of nature —-making the song'nf the gay black bird, and tbe chery chirp of the robin and the oriel, more gay anil cheerier.
