When her loving smiles no longer Greet the coming of our feet. The days seem long, the nights arc drear, The time rolls slowly on ; And O ! how few are childhood's pleasures, When her gentle care is gone. Things we prize are first to vanish ; Hearts we love to pass away, And how soon even in our childhood, We behold her turning grey ; ller eye grows dim, her step is slow, Her joys of earth are passed. And before wc learn to know her, She hath breathed on earth her last. Other hearts may have their sorrow ; Griefs that quickly die away ; llut a mother lost in childhood. Grieves the heart from day to day; We ini?s her kind and willing hand, Her fond and earnest care. And O ! how drear is life around us? What's home without a mother there ? Jliisrcllimrous llrniing. CHARLEY'S MI SFORTUN ES~, Or, How His Hat Troubled Him. nr IIAZKL ORKKN, k8q. " When T was a young lad, just beginning to think about the girls," said Charley, " I was monstrous pious, and went to meet ing every Sunday ; but I liave since come to the conclusion that it was not as much for the concern I felt for the " good of my soul," as it was for the sake of gazing about the room, and thinking to myself which girl was the prettiest, and which I would rather marry. " Well, one day I singlod out a girl who, I thought, eclipsed all creation for beauty ; in fact, I was soon head-over-heels in love with her. But a few minutes sufficed for me to form a resolution to see her home, pop the question, and, if possible, lo strike m bargain immediately. I was all in a tremble. The sermon seemed a week long, and very uninteresting. Many, no doubt, were prajing for their neighbors, and their neighbors' children, but with me it was quite different, I was praying for the meeting to break. At length the meeting did break, and I broke with it ?for my hat; but. to my surprise and mortification, I could not find it until after the object of my affections had gotten so far the start of me, that it would have required quite an effort to have overtaken her. Besides, there was another conjA aideration?my hat had been under foot. and was so badly soiled, that I was rather ashamed to be seen witli it on.jTaking all these things into consideration, I resolved to wait for the nest opportunity. From that time I was a changed chap. I could think of nothing but the girl I had seen at meeting, except it was that of per suading the governor to huy me a new nit of Sunday clothe*. The old Indy sided with me in this last particular, and, between us both, we succeeded in carrying our points. I was rigged out in style?cloth coat, satin vest, cassiinere pants, and, to crown all, a heavier that cost five dollars. * This w?' 1x thing*," thought I; M could I but see her now, I might set her down as mine." In a few evenings, ther? was prayer meeting at44 Union meeting house," and I, with my new fixings, wended my way thither; not, however, until my mother had given me much good advice concerning the manngement of my pew rigging?more particularly the head, as I, but a short time before, got my old one crushed up at meeting. I bad not been in the meeting-house long, before her wboin I most anxiously expect0 ed, came io ; and from thence, until the acr vices were concluded, I was in a sea of trou-. ' ble, lesl some fellow should cut ine out, or ' something of the kind. As soon as the congregation was dismissed, I " yoked her," and off we started.? | When we reached her homo the sun was j just setting, and so, to be mannerly, her old dad asked me to * stay all night." I had 1 no objections, and after supper was over, 1 ' told Hettv (for that was the girl's name,) that I'd like to chat with her a little more. She had no objections, but said wp must go into the kitchen, as the old folks didn't like to bo disturbed by a light in the "big room," when they were to bed. To all this I consented, of course, ami we were soon on the very best of terms. I should have been extremely happy, but for one cause?the stamp of plenty, in the form of grease, was abundantly impiessed upon everything in the room, excepting the chair* upon which we sat, and, consequently, I was much troubled about mv new hat. What should I do with it ? I did not want to have grease upon 11?no, mat. would never uoi finally, I resolved to keep il on my head, judging that to be the safest place. lJeing thus relieved of my greatest embarrassment, 1 went about the work of courting in renl earnest. After innny fino things had been said, and a marriage contract had been partially entered into, I proposed a kiss. You may be sure she refused, but I insisted?a scuf fle ensued, which lasted until she was completely exhausted. Being unable to hold out longer, she turned up her pretty lips and said : 44 If you must kiss me?here, but don't you ever undertake such a thing again ?you brute." * I stooped over to perform the operation, when, ail of a suduen, I felt an un.mal lightness about mv head. Before I had time to think whether I was going to faint or not, I heard a kind of splashing about my feet, and casting my eyes downward, I saw?great Heavens! what did I see? There lay my five dollar beaver, completely immersed in a filthy compound of dish-water, cucumber peals, 'tater skins, nnd the Lord knows besides, that had been accumulated in a tub, under the fascinating cognomen of44 swill." This was a predicament for you?what should I do? If Betty had observed it the matter would not have been so bad ; but she had not; could I tell her ? No !? Heaven forbid ! At first, I thought of lifting it out, but imagining the spectacle it would present, my courage failed me.? a But, then," reasoned I,*44 she will be sure to see it ere long, nnd then she will blush. A Iriiiil v* clio id huibinnr nt mo nc if u'nn^or. ing why I don't kiss her?perhaps I had belter not stay any longer and suiting the action to the word, I made a leap for the door, and was oft' like n coinot. From thence all was darkness and confusion, until I found myself at home?bareheaded?receiving a raking fire from the old man and the old woman at the same time. This is bad enough to think of, but it is not the worst. There is one thing that now rings in my ears, and will continuo to do ro as long as I live?it is the last words of Betty. Poor thing, supposing that I had taken offence at her resistance, she called after me as I shot out of the door : " Oh, Charley, come back ! I was only in fun ; coina back, do. Oh ! Charley 1" Tho Indian Chief. uu, i it iv. ir.ai Uf a NUIIIU.H 3 tu.>r One of tlie first selilcrs in West New Yrork was Judge W , who established himself in Whiteslown, about four mile* from UticA. Ho brought his family with him, among whom was a widowed daughter with an only child?a fine boy about four years old. You will recollect that the country around was an unbroken forest, and this was tho domain of the savage tribes. Judge W saw thcnecesity of keeping on good terms with the Indians, for he was nearly alone; he was completely at their mercy. Accordingly he took every opportunity to assuro them of his kindly feelings, and to secure their good will in return. Several of the chiefs came to see hitn, and all appeared pacific, Hut there was ono thing that troubled him; an aged chief of the Oneida tribe, and one of great influence, who resided at a distance of a dozen miles, had not vet been to see him. nor could lie ascertain tlio views and feeling of the sachem in respect to his settlement in that region. At last he sent him a message, and the answer was that the chief would visit him on (he (borrow. True to his appointmenl'thc scahem came ; Judge W received him with marks of respect, and introduced his wife, his daughter and little boy. The interview that followed was interesting. Upon its result the Judgo was conceived his security might depend, and he was therefore exceedingly anxious to make a favorable impression upon the distinguished chief. He expressed Iris desiro to settle in the country, to live on terms of Amity and good fellowship with the Indians, and to l>e useful to them, by introducing among them the art of civilization. The chief heard him out, and then said? M Brother, tou a?k much, and you promise much. What pledge can you give of your faith ! The white man's word may be good to the white man, yet it is wind when spoken to tire Indian." 44 I have put my life in your band*," Raid the Judge ;44 is not that evidence of my good intentions ? I have placed confidence in the Indian, and will not believe that he will abuse or betray the trust that is thus repos3 J." 44 So much is well," replied the chief; 14 the Indian will repay confidence with confidence ; you trust him he will trust you.? Let this boy go with me to my wigwam ?I will bring him back in three days with my answer!" If an arrow had pierced the bosom of the mother, she could not have felt a deeper pang than went to her heart, as tho Indian made this proposal. She sprang forward, and running to the boy, who Rlood at the side of the scahem, looking into his face with pleased wonder and admiration, shecncircled him in her arms, and pressing him to her bosom, was about to flv from the room. A gloomy and ominous frown came over the brow of the sachem, but he did not speak. But not so with Judge W . He knew the success of their enterprise?of the lives of his family?depended on the decision of a moment. " Stay, stay, my daughter,"' ho said.? " Bring back the boy, i beseech you. He is not more dear to you than to me. But, my child, ho must go with the chief. God will watch over him. lie will be as safe in the sachem's wigwam as beneath our own roof." The agonized mother hesitated for a moment ; she then slowly returned, placed the bov on the knee of the chief, and kneeling at his feet, burst into a flood of tears. The gloom passed from the sachem's brow, but he said not a word. He arose and departed. Wo shall not attempt to describe the agony of the mother for the ensuing days.? She was agitated by contending hopes and fears. In the night she awoke from sleep, seeming to hear screams of the child calling on its mother for help. But the time wore slowly away, and the third day came.? How slowly did the hours pass 1 The morning waned away ; noon arrived, yet the sachem cmne not. There was a gloom over the whole household. The mother was pale and silent. Judge W paced the floor to and fro, going every few mi v utes to the door, and looking through the opening in the forest towards tho sachem's abode. At last, as the rays of the setting sun were thiown upon the tree tops around, the eagle feathers of the chief were seen dancing above the bushes in the distance. He advanced ranidlv. and the little bov was at bis aide Ilo whs gaily nttired an a young chief, his foot being Pressed in moccasins, a fino heaver skin was on his shoulders, and engle feathers stuck in his hair. lie was in excellent spirits, and so proud was he of his honors that he seemed two inches taller than before, lie was soon in his mother's arms, and in that brief minute she seemed to pass from death to life. It was a very happy meeting?too happy for us to describe. * The white man has conquered," said the sachetn ; 41 hereafter let us be firiends. You have trusted an Indian ; he will repay you with confidence and friendship." lie was as good as his word, and Judge W lived for many years in pence with the Indian tribes, and succeeded in laying the foundation of a flourishing communi ?y- f m | Physical Education?Athletic Exercise. We are glad to see the youths of Har vard are beginning again their rowing m u1no Tim GtitriAlli qii i f ina nf ll*A winding river Charles is now frequently dotted with their long light clippers, crawling over the water with their six our# like #o many six legged caterpillar#.

It would be well if the youth cf our city took more ndvantago of our water facilities for pleasant exercise. The 4th of July re gnttas have turned the attention of some to it, and, if it could be much increased, the river Charles might become a fountain of life, giving vigor to our worn, hard thinking brains.

Even horseback riding, which was not peculiarly favorable to his habit of body, was nevertheless quite a favorite exercise with hirn, even till an advanced period of life. Another of our Massachusetts great men, John Quincy Adams, used to take very long walks before breakfast, when he was in Congress, and, in the dead of winter, would have the ice of the Potomac cut to enjoy his daily river bath.

It was, doubtless, one very great cause of the intellectual and martial supremacy oi the classic Republics that they were composed of physically vigorous citizens.

She has made your home comfortable ; your hearth blight ami shining, your food agreeable ; for pity's sake tell her you thank.her, if nothing more. She don't expect it; it will make her eyes open wider than they have for these ten years, but it will do her good for all that, and you too.

"Come Back Soon." Such win the exclamntion that reached our ears as we passed along n street in East Baltimore, an evening or two since. The speaker was a neatlv diessed woman, young and beautiful. The person to whom she spoke these simple words, in deep tones of affection, was a finely formed nian, in the morning of life. But what caused her tenrs to flow f Alas 1 we could not fail to perceive that the being to whom she had given her young heart, and who promised to love, protect, and cherish her, was a victim of the tyrant?num. " Come back soon." With a half-suppressed oath, the promise was given as he hastily bent bis steps towards his usual haunts of dissipation. " Cotne back soon," was again sobbed out from a breaking heart, as we resumed our walk. After our evening meal we repaired to the house of a friend, w hom we had promised to visit. The time'flew by rapidly in familiar converse, and the hour of midnight had sounded ere we parted. The streets were almost deserted, and as we passed a low groggery the sound of drunken revelry was heard within. A man staggered into the street, followed by a woman. They werj the same we saw at early evening. "Comeback soon." An* iously she listened for bis welcome step! How long the hours seemed to her wailing heait as she watched for the loved one's return I Midnight came at last, hut no husband, Hastily throwing on her shawl, she wandeit ' through the streets, heedless of the passers ' by, and even penetrates the haunts of vice to " save the being she loved belter than life. Fondly she clasped the degraded being, who was nhout to repulse her, when she exclaimed, " Ho come home, William ; I left Ellen all alone !*' 44 Little Ellen 1" Those two words found a way to that man's heart, He hesitated, and, drunk as he was, hit eyes grew moist. Still clwer did that wift i cling ; and he was about to accompany her when a miserable looking man staggered up > and said, 44 Is that you, Hill??why, von are a stranger. Come, let us go and take a 1 drink, and talk over old times." The tempt ation was strong?there was a fearful struggle in his bosom. Again the invitation was given. He was about to yield, and had already moved a step towards the door, when his devoted wife uttered through her tears, '4 Ellen?our child !" The chord was touch ! ed, and, with a resolute 44 No 1" to his tempter, which sent a thrill of joy to that wo man's heart, he turned towards his home Who can tell what fears agitated that wife'i bosom on their homeward journey, as thai husband vowed to drink no more.

The celebrated Lady Hamilton was dis 1 tinguished almost above eveiy other womai of her age for personal beauty. Her nccom ' plishinents were scarcely inferior to he beauty. She was skillful in music an< painting, she had exquisite taste, and he features would express every emotion bi turns. The only occasion on which Bedford of Fonthill Abbey, threw open his splendid mansion to company, was when Lady Ham ilton, along with Lord Nelson, visited it All that the wealth of the princely ownei could furnish was provided to give splendoi to the scene. The grounds were illuminat ed by lamps and torches, and the interioi of the apartmont was a blaze of jewelry and gold and silver. Spiced wine and confec tionery in golden baskets were handed round to the company. A numerous part) was assembled, and Lady Hamilton shorn the envoy of them all. Attired in a ricl costume, she entered with a golden urn ir her hands, and recited some verses, whict the company were far too polite not to ap plaod. spoken, as they were, by one wh< had such inlluence over the hero of the hour No one was there to tell her all this wasde ception ; that sin surely carries its own pun ishment with it, and that the pleasure sh< was pursuing was a vain shadow ! Thir ' teen years after the banquet at Fonthill bad 1 taken place, a lady buying some meat foi her dog, at a butcher's stall in Calais, was 1 thus accosted by the butcher's wife?"Ah madam, you seem a benevolent lady, and up stairs thero is a poor English woman wltc ' would l>e glaJ of the smallest piece of meal you are buying for your dog." Who, then, was the grateful recipient of such humble f Alms! Alas ! it was the beautiful Ladv Hamilton. After the death of Lord Nelson, deserted by those who had fawned upon hei in prosperity, she gradually became impoverished, and died in a wretched lodging at Calais. Iler property consisted only of a few pawnbroker's duplicates. Iler body was put into a common denl box, without any inscription; and over the praised of statesmen, warriors, poets and artists, the funeral service was read by an ofllcer of half pay.? Such was the end of the beautiful Lady Hamilton. Passion and reason are a kind of civil war within us, and as the one or the other hath dominion, we are either good or bad. Evkrt moment of fftue is a monument ol , mercy. DisappointmentI built for myself a palace wherein to dwell. It* foundation was placed upon friendship *, the beautiful columns of Hope, entwined with the variegated blossoms of truth and affection, enclosed its spacious balls. Its walls were spangled with the brilliant buds of trust and confidence.-? Faith, with beaming eyes, looked kindly down upon the airy structure. I entered in ; but while my footsteps were yet lingering on the threshold, the building trembled. In sudden weakness I grasped a column for support; it receded and the flowers surrounding it fell withering to the ground. 1 then gathered the fresh tempting buds, which clothed with their rich brightness the wall; these, at "ea^t, I mused, will not deceive; though they may fade, yet will their fragrance remain. Alas I when my hand unclosed it, it was filled with ashes; the perfume had also departed. While I stood grieving at the altered aspect of the home I fondly thought would have received me as its inmate, the palace fell in ruins at my feet; and bowing down in agony, I wept. IWhen those tear* subsided the shadowy form of faith slowly advanced, and holding in her hand * ero*?, said, * Daughter, grieve no more ; tafrA this talisman, and guard it with jealous care. It will not fade like the flowers, neither like the buds will it crumble in thy grHsp. It is more valuable than jewels, more precious than gold.
