Losing All-A Family Scene, There is something exceedingly tender, as well as instructive tu the following, which we take frons tho Child's paper : A few clays ago a merchant failed in business. He went home one evening in great agitation; 4i What is the matter ?" asked his wife. " I am ruined ; 1 am beggared. I have lu-4 my nil !" ho exclaimed,.pressing his hand upon"- his- forehead as if hrs "brain were in a whirl. " Aurania wife ; 1 am left.'? " All, papal" said his eldest hov, " here ato 1."

"And your two eyes lo soe with, papa," said little K Jdie. .' And yon have God's promises," said gr inti mother. .. And a g?.?od God," .snit! his wife. IS And Heaven to go to," said his tittle girl.---- ? a. . ? * Aitd' Jesus -vtio came to fetch us there,"-said the eldest. * Gtfd-'rorgive me," said the poor mer chant, bursting into tears, " I have not lost myself What are thc few thousand v.h?cli Thave called tuy ali, to these more precious things which God has left me?" anti he ch ^ped his family to his bosom, t'.ttd he hissed his wife and children with a thankful heart. Ah, no, there are many things moro precious than gold and bank stock, valua ble as they may be in their place. VYhen the Central America was foundering at sett, bags and purses of gold were strewn about the deck as worthless as the meres' rabbi .. "Lifo, life!" was the prayer. To somo of the wretched survivors. '. Water, water!" was the cry. "Bread, bread !" it was worth its weight in gold, if gold could have bought it. '; The loss of property must not cloud the mind with a wicked forgetfulness of the greater blessings which arc left behind. No mau should despair, fir no man ha* lost his all until he has lost his integrity, lost the mercy of God, and lost his hope of Heaven at last." Too Busy-Ko Time to Read. This isa world of inflexible commerce nothing ?3 ever given away but everything is bought and paid tor. If, by exclusive and absolute surrender of ourselves to material pursuits wc materialize the mind we lose that class of satisfactions of which the mind is thc legion and the source, young man in business, for instance, bc gins to feel the exhilarating glow of suc cess, and deliberately determines toaban don himself to its delicious whirl. He says to himself, I will think of nothing but business till I have made so much money, and then ? will begin a new life i will gather around me books, and pic tures and friends. J will have knowledge taste and cultivation, the perfumes of scholarship, and winningspeech, and grace ful manners. 1 will see foreign countries, and converse with accomplished men. 1 will drink deep in the fountain of classic lore. Philosophy shall guide me, history and poetry shall charm me. I shall then remember ray present life of druggery as one recalls a pleasant dream when the morning has dawned. Ile keeps his self registered vow. He bends his thoughts downward and nails them to the dust. Every power, every affection, every taste, except those which his peculiar occupa tion calls into play, is lclt to starve. Over his mind he write*, in letters which he who runs may rear.', "No admittance ex cept on business." In time he reaches the goal of his hopes, but nowiusulted nature begins td claim her revenge. That which was once unnatural to him is now natural to him. The enforced constraint has be come a rigid deformity. The spring of his mind is broken. He can no longer life his thoughts from the ground. Books and knowledge, and wise disoourse, and the amenities of art, and the cordial of friendship, are like words in a strange tongue. To the hard, smooth surface of his soul nothing genial, graceful or win ning will cling. He cannot even purge his voice of its lowering tone, or pluck from his face the mean, money-getting mask which the child does not look at without ceasing to smile. Amid the gra ces and ornaments of wealth he is like a blind man in a picture-gallery. That which he has done he must continue to do, he must accumulate riches which he cannot enjoy, and contemplate the dreary prospect of growing old without anything to make age venerable or attrac tive, for nge without wisdom and without knowledge ts the winter's cold without fire.-George S. Hilliard. SENSIBILITY TO DAILY MERCIES.--As the Dead Sea drinks in the river Jordan and is never the sweeter, and the ocean all tither rivers, and is never the fresher, so we are apt to receive daily mercies from God, and still remain insensible of them, unthankful for them. God's mer cies to us are like the dew on the ground : o>:r thanks to him like the dew on fleece. We are greedy to get mercy, tenacious to hold it; but unthakful in our acknowl edging, or right using of it. The rain comes down from heaven in showers; it goes up but in joists. GOOD FAMILY ADVICE.-Let all trouble some topics be avoided at meals. Do not dwell upon the difficulties of business, the delinquencies of domestics, or disci pliue the children at the dinner table, for a cheerful spirit not only gives relish fori h food, buta good start at digesting the j ii same, I * There- is no sorrow so crushing, so over whelming, so utterly irremedialde-ns that for the dear dead wife ; the wife of your first love, of your buoyant, hopeful youth, with all its new experiences, its sweet revelations, its early struggles, its intimal aim5., ils hopes, its labors and its fhtilions ; for long years together you .worked side by side, hand in hand ; she shared your troubles, and kissed away half the severi ty; she doubled your gladness by-the pleasure which itt gave her- to see-you happy.; and when in the lapse of years you had arrived at a position to enable you to take life easy and enjoy it, as you had never done before, a heavenly hand takes her from your side and transports her inte the presence of God, where you may not follow her now. . You want to tell her how sweetly she died ; how her friends gai herod around her funeral bier, and, in their affection, strewed white flow ers upon her bosom ; how lovingly and long they gazed on the dear familiar face, so beautifully calm in death; a heavenly sweetness so pervading every lineament as to give it an angel seeming. You want to tell her. too. how that last, long, fond kiss almost broke your heart and how you wanted to die when th?.y bc /ered' her face from your sight forever, and then as the weary weeks pass 6n, how busy memory brings up the forgotten past, with its long array of loving acts; of spontaneous tenderness; of seif-abnc gations; of sleepless vigilance; of in stinctive solicitude; how you would give your life away for one short' interview. But it cannot be ; she is an angel now, and in her heavenly purity waits in pa tient affection for the time j when it shall be the Master's will to bring you- to her feet, and make of you an angel too. Beautifully has it been said bf THE DEAD WIFE : u in comparison wh-h that loss, all other bereavements are trifles. The wife! she who fills so large a space in the domestic hen vcu ; she who. is so busy, so un weary ; bitter, bitter is the tear that falls on her clay. You stand beside her grave and think of the past; aa amber colored path way, where the Sun shone ppon beautiful flowers or the stars hung glittering iii the sky. No thorns arc remembered above the sweet clay, save those your own har>d may have unwittingly planted. t?er;acv ble, tender heart lies open! toyoiir.ini? most sight. . Yon think of ner as all gen tleness, all:beauty, and all purity. But she ts'TJeidm The dear head that so often laid upon your bosom, now rests upon a pillow of* clay. The soft hands that min istered so untiringly to your every want are folded, white and cold, beneath the gloomy portals. The heart whos-e every beat measured an eternity of love, lies still under your feet. And there is no white arm over your shoulder now ; no speaking face to look up in the eye of love; no smile to greet you at niffht-fall -and the clock strikes, and ticks again -it was sweet musto when she could hear it; now it seems lo knell only the hours through which you watched the shadows of death gathering upon her sweet face ; but many a tale it tellefh of joys past, sorrows shared, and beautiful words and deeds registered above. You feel assured that she is in a happier world, and that with an angel presence she is often at your side. Cherish these emo lions. Let her holy presence be as a charm to keep you from evil. Never forget what she has been to you, and be tender of her memory." But if desolations like these sweep re sist lessly over the heart of the stout, strong man when his wife has been taken from his side, how incomputably greater must be thc sorrow of the widowed bo som when he has been removed upon whose arui3 she so wholly leaned, upon whose counsel she so wholly rested, and upon whose providence she so implicity relied. Give your warmest sympathies, then, to the widowed heart, reader, and no longer wonder that Divinity has made it one of the evidences of fitness for the heavenly mansions, " to visit the widow," to stand by her, ever ready to lend her your countenance, your counsel, your support, and your defence. STONES ROLLED AWAY.-"The holy women of old, as they walked to the grave of our Lord, were full -of fear? about thc stone at the door. They said among themselves, "who of us shall roll away thc stone from the door of the se pulchre?" But their fears were needless. M When they looked, they saw that the stone was r>lled away." What a striking emblem we have in this simple narrative of the experience of many Christians ! How often believers are oppressed and cast down by anticipa tion of evils, and yet, in time of need, find the thing they feared removed, and M the stone rolled away." A large pro portion of a saint's anxieties arise from things which really never happen. We look forward to all the possibilities of the journey- towards Heaven. We conjuro up in our imaginations all kinds of crosses and obstacles. We carry, mentally, to morrow's troubles, as well as to-day's. And often, very ofteu, we find at the end that our doubt., and alarms were ground less, and that the thing we dreaded most, has never come to pass at all. Let us believe that in the path of duty we shall never be entirely forsaken. Let us go forward boldly, and wc shall often find that the lion in the way is chained, and the seeming hedge of thorns is only a shadow. -? ? ? THE TRUNDLE BED.-The balmiest sleep we ever experienced was when we were nestling in the old trundle bed with i curly headed brother just turned out of the parent nest to make room for a new 3ustomer. But trundle bed dreams were soon at an end, for when thc next custo mer came we were crowded out of the ;rundle bed to make room for the next hat was turned out of the parent nest, md so they kept alternating for years, mtil wo were fairly turned out into the world. O ! where are the little heads, that we lave kissed a thousand times o'er as they ?estled in the old trundle bed ? Some ?f them have gnown old and gray ; and ?tilers are resting upon their everlasting di low in widely separated lands. We ire always sad wheu we think of the old : rundle bed. ENGACUNO MANNERS.-There are a housand pretty engaging little ways flitch every person may put on without i unning the risk of being deemed either i fleeted or foppish. The sweet smile, the < [uiet, cordial bow, the earnest movement I ii addressing a friend, the inquiring glance, * he graceful attention which is so captiva- ( ing when united with self-possession- i hess'will insure us the good regards of < ven a churl. Above all, there is a cer- 1 un softness of manner which should be i ultivated, and which, in either man or 1 >oman, adds a charm that almost entire- ??j f compensates for lack of beauty, and f fstimably enhances the latter, if it docs list. j IlastcAway to thc Sabbath School.

Y., in relation to the li ttl daughter of Mr. James Harrison, of thu city, too nearly and too deeply inter?s every parent in the whole country, to b allowed to bc passed over in silence. Th little girl was at school, and the teachei hy a series of most injudicious threat and punishments, so terrified the chi! that a most alarming illness followed which came near proving fatal. Even i she is restored to health, she will not ri cover from the effects of her fright pei haps for. years, if ever. It is not to this particular case that w are anxious to call the public attentior any further than it alfords us an oppo] tunity to animadvert upon the dangerou and exceedingly injurious practice 'c frightening children in the nursery, at th family fireside, and the social circle, b retailing ghost-stories, goblin tales an witchcraft fictions. Children and young persons have ger erally great curiosity in relation to thes tales of the imagination, especially whe they are attended by - some gossipin nurse, whose head being empty of goo sense hss been filled brim full of gho: letrendsand black letter recollections. W happened to know something about thi matter by most-unhappy and painful e; perience. VVe know what melanchol effects attend these revelations of goblin and ghosts in the nursery. We hav even now while we write, a dim, shuddei ing recollection of these appalling hoi rors, which make the blood chill, cree and curdle about the heart-even afte the finger of time has planted furrows o the brow and sown silver threads in th ?hair. It was the practice of a full grow boy of 19 or 20 years of age, (we ar certain he never became A MAN,) to tak ' the writer upon his knee, (then three c four years old,) when the twilight wa gradually fading into darkness, veil hi face with a black handkerchief, and the for our especial edification, affirm that h was the unmentionable personage who i supposed to be no better than he shoul be. Then would follow a long dissertatio upon witches, ghosts, hobgoblins, a whol family of horrible monstrosities, by wa_ of giving tone to the infantile imaginatior The lessons operated upon thc youn mind like a potent spell. Soon it becam as much as life was worth to attempt b cross a dark entry after night-fall. J left alone in a sleeping apartment, th avenue to the pyes was carefully barri ended by the pillows and bed-cloths there, panting, trembling, shivering, hug drop9 of cold perspiration oozing out a every pore, the flesh creeping all ove with honor, the writer lay a full believe in all monstrous shapes and terrible forms the shuddering victim of a most crue delusion, at times but a single remov? from a maniac ! Those terrible night time solitudes, th? darkness peopled by the imagination, with spectres the most terrific, how viv idly do they come back, even now, in th< days of maturer judgment and ripei season, never to be erased from tho reool lection by the hand of time ! If there is a worse condition upon earth than thtil into which this monstrous superstitior plunges an imaginative child, we have nc conception of its curdling horrors. Nevei to lay the head upon the pillow, from th? time it is two or three years of age, until seven, eight, or ten, without feeling the most perfect assurance in its own mind ol realizing its own prophecy, and seeing some hideous spectre before morning ! This is the purgatory of early, innocent and otherwise happy childhood. These midnight horrors haunt the im agination even to old age. They may lose somewhat of their painful vividness, their appalling distinctness-something of their curdling horror, so potent in its impossibility ; but these terrors linger in the imagination still, ready to be called up in every suspicious spot, awakened in every solitude, in spite of all the judg ment can do or the reason can urge. For a moment, at certain times, even to old age, the heart will throb with painful dis tinctness, the hair will become perpen dicular, and a disagreeable shudder will make the blood cold in the veins, even when manhood has reached its prime. To be sure the judgment soon dispells these unfounded fears, but they will haunt the victim at times, to his dying day. These are some of the painfully deleterious effects of the frightening children in tho early season of their growth. How im portant is it, that parents should guard them against these groundless terrors, exciting the early imagination, and chain ing the trembling victim to the indescri bable agony of this nervous bondage for ill its future life. -. -?- . . DKBT.-Debt is a perfect bore. How it haunts a man from'pillar to post ; lurk ing in his breakfast cup, poisoning his Jinner, embittering his tea! now it stalks rom him like a living, moving, skeleton, seeming to announce his presence by re suming the amount of liabilities. How t poisons his domestic joys, by introdu ;ing its iufernal " balance" into the cnlfc'u ation of madam respecting the price of i new carpet, or a new dress ! How it linders dreamy plans for speculations, md cripples resolutions too good to be ?lfilled. At bed and board, by night or day, in oy or grief, in health or sickness, at home or abroad-debt-grim, gaunt, and shae! owy, falls as an incurabrance. As no presence is too sacred, no ground is too. holy'to deter the memory of "bills anet nobes payable" from taking immediate possession, so no record is enlivening, no reiriinisence more thhn the consciousness that debt has fallen like a January morn ing, twenty-nine degrees below zero. --? -? ALL WOHK AND SO PLAY.-Aristotle says that the end of labor is to gain leis ure. It is a great saying. We have in modern times a totally wrong view of the matter. Noble work is a noble thing, but not all work. Most people seem to think that any business is in itself some thing grand, that to be intensely employ ed, for instance, about something which has no truth, beauty, or usefulness in it, which makes no man happier or wiser, is still the perfection of human endeavor, so that the work be intense. :.
