From the Religious Souvenir. 41 THY WILL BE DONK." A mother was kneeling in the soft light tif the dying day, by the side of her suffering babe; th<* deep, low-breathed accents of the father wont up in supplication, ns if to the very ear of the Eternal. '* O ! thou who didst weep at the grave of Lazarus, and dost note every pulsation of the human heart, look down in thy compassion on our helpless child. O ! save him for thy mercy's soke! Wnatever else thou withholdest, give us the life of our sweet babe." 44 Amen," responded the trembling voice of the heart-stricken mother, as she wiped away the cold swoat Irom his pale forehead. 11 O! William, I cannot give him up," she added, 44 he is so lovely, and then he is our only one; surely your petition will be granted." The unconscious iofant lay motionless in its cradle ; its little bosom heaved with the faint breath of life ; its tiny fingers were half hid benea'h its golden hair, while the sweet smile that played round its fevered lips, svemed to respond to the whispering of angels, as if they \v*ro already welcoming the freed spirit to the land of light. The fa:her and mother gazed upon it with an intensity ?l:.l - ?..'u hnnrl onn foil. wnu;n none um a pairm j Gradually the smile relaxed?the hand fell down tpon its bosom?the throbbing of the heart became more tranquil?a moisture diffused itself over the skin, and a sweet sleep fell upon it, clothing it as with a mantle. Long and quietly it slumbered; and when the eye opened, and the lip moved, its che. rub face seemed irradiated with unearthly intelligence and purity. Day after day, and night after night, the father and mother watched their boy, as he was slowly rrsto. red to health arid activity. Gd spared lem, and he grew up in loveliness, the pride of his parents. Pestilence staiked abroad.? Death laid low the young and the beautiful. Still their child, as if by some ta'ismanic spell, was preserved ; Mnfl the fond mother thanked God in her heart, that he yot lived to comfort her. ? + ** * Time passed oo. Again the mother bent over him; a blighted, blasted being The cherub smi'e of infantineinnocencehad given place to the intensity of remorse, and the sternness of despair. The fair boy had grown to manhood. He hud pone forth f into the world. Me had mingled with the giddy throng that pursue the syren plea"" - ? -i . t sure, tiil they find too late taai wjiii uer, joy is but a name, and hope a phantom ; tiiat she leads to sorrow and to death. Her contaminating, withering influence overmastered him, and he went onward till the poisonous mildew of guilt settled on his soul, and wasted his existence. 49 Let me curso God and die," said the wretched sufferer. ** O! that thou hadst died in the calmness and sweetness of thy childhood," murmur* ?d the self-accusing mother. Again, the father knelt by the bedside of !ii? ton, and his voice onco more went up in prayer?** Whatsoever thou givest or witliholdest, enable us to say sincerely, thy will be done." ** Amen," cloarly articulated the mother, and the Angel of Death took the spirit of the hopeless to the bar of God. F. STUDY A CHILD'S CAPACITIES, ff seme are naturally dull, and yet strive to do well, notice the effort, and do noteen sure the dulness. A t >acher m ght as just, ly scold a child for being near-sighted, as for being naturally dull. Some children have great verbal memory, others are qui e tho reverse. Some minds develope oarlv, others late. Some havo great powers of acquiring, others of originating. Some may * w - - , appear tupid, because the true spring of their character has never been touched.? The dunco of the school, may turn out, in the end, the living, progressive, wonderworking genius of the age. In order to ^xert the best spiritual influence, we must understand the spirits upon which we wish to exert that influence. For with the human mind, we must work with nature, and not against it. Like the leaf of the nettle, if touched one way it stings like the wasp, if the other, it is softer than satin. If we would do justice to the human mind, we must find out its peculiar characteristics, and adapt ourselves te its individual wants, in conversing upon this point with a friend, who is now the Principal in one of our best grammar schools,and to whose instructions 1 look back with delight, "your remarks," suid he, " are quite true, and let me tell you *>f a little incideot, wh'ch bears upon the point. Last summer I had a girl, who was exceedingly behind, in all her studies. She was at the foot of the division, and seemed to care but little for her buoks. It so hap. pened, that, as a relaxation, I let them, at limes, during the school hours, un.te in singing. 1 noticed that litis girl had a remarkably clear, sweet voice, and said to iter, Jane, you have a good vo ce, and you may lead in the singing.' She brightened up, and from that time her mind seemed more active. Her lessons were attended to, and she soon gamed a higher rank.? One day us I was going home, 1 overtook Iter with a school companion. 1 Well, Jane,' said I, 4 you are getting along very well; how happens it you do so much bene'* now titan at the beginning of the quarter V * I do not know why it is,' she replied. 41 know what she told me the other day,' said her companion. 4 And what was that?" said iho teacher. 4 Why, she said she was encouraged.' " Yes, here we have it, she was encouraged, She felt that she was not dull in every thing. She had learned sclf.respect, and thus site was encouraged. Seme tw?dve or thirteen years ago, there was in the Franklin school, an exceedingly dull boy. One day the teacher, wishing to look out a word, took up the lad's dictionary, and on opening it, found the blank leaves covered with drawings; ht called the boy To him. 41 Did you draw these?" said the teacher. u Yes, sir," said the boy. 441 do sot ihiak it is well for boys to draw in their 4?ooiss," said tlte teacher, 44 and 1 would rub if 1 Wefo jou; but they are well1 k ^ done ; did you ever take lessons?" " No, sir,*' said the hoy, his eyes sparkling.? * Well, I think you have (stent fortius thing, ta I should like to have you draw me some- tf thing when you have leisure, at horn-, and M bi ing it to me. In the mean time, see how W well you can recilo your lessons." The next morning thu bey brought a picture, V and when he had committed his lesson, 'he 12 teacher allowed him to draw a map. The ^ true spring was touched. The boy felt that a he was unders ood. He began to love the teacher. Ho became animated, and fond ^ of his books. He took delight in gratifying the teacher, by his faithfulness to his studies; while the teacher took opportunitv to encourage him in his natural desires. The boy became one of the first scholars, and gained the medal before he left the school. After this, he became an engraver, laid up money enough to go to Europe, stu. j died the works of me old masters, sent home jj productions from his own pencil, which Have found u place in some of our best col j Inntnns of naintintrs, and is now one of the | most promising artists of his years in the * country. After the boy ga ned the rned.d, he sent the teacher a beautiful picture, as a token of love and respect; and while he was on engraver, the teacher received fro. quent tokens of continued regard ; and I doubt not, to this day, he feels 'hat that teacher, by the judicious encouragement he gave to the natural turn of his mind, has hud a great moral and spiritual effect on his character.?Boston Com. School Jour. DRY GOODS SALESMEN. Probably no class of the community are more annoyed ai-d perplexed, at timest than our c l- rks in the retail dry goods ft ires ; but, u? in ail other business, there are some bright spots, some mom nis of requital.? Trie Qther day, happening into one of our most ex tens ve dry goods shops, two very pret y, elegantly dressed ladies came in, who of course monopolia d the whole atten ion of the clerks, and the less important customer, ihe writer of this, was left in the back ground, where, part ally detained on business, but more particularly from the attraction before him he concluded to "see it out ;"and egad, a most salutary lesson was learned, 'I'll look at your new style handkerchiefs," said ono of the ladies. J "II ive you received any new satins, lately ?" interrupted t?ie other. The clerks fly abotr, op n a dozen different boxes, display all the rich satins, with various expressions of delight for having been so fortunate as to obtain such rare articles, and most s lemnly avow that they arc "dog cheap,?afforded for less than nnv other store in town?were bought at auction during the pressure in New York that "Mrs. had just taken one of those shawls, and Miss had jus' lett the store with a dress from that beautiful, rich heavy piece of satin.'* Those shawls are rather prerfy,^"said one of the ladies. "Yes, tolerable, but they look rather cheap not of the latest style."said the other. "Y'-s, I think they are altogether too common. H iv'nt you any that are better and more fashionable than these ?" said the other. Here divers other boxes were opened nnd displayed, with an additional induce. ( ment, by way of a speech, for purchasing. | "Oh me ? Why ihoso were out of fush- < ion a year ago!?But what is the price of those you first showed us ? "Five dollars." I "Five doll irs / My?why Mrs. J paid ten for one the o her day. We wa.? | a better article than these. We di n't call to purchase pelebian hundket chiefs, sir/" exclaimed the ladies, evidently affronted, and were for making off, when one of the clerks (a vankee,) with great coolness ob. served, "by the way, ladies, Mr. has just returned from New York, if I am no greatly mistaken, he has two or three siia wis in his trunk, which he h is purchased the Jay h? jhft, intending one for his wife and the others **0 / let me see them?do, bring them out /" exclaimed tho damsels with apparent ( delight. The clerk having previous'y laid aside two of the prettiest of the first lot exhibited, | runs hack to the counting room, fumbles 1 over a lot of trunks, <5sc. and returns, cnr?-- j ful y unfolds the "very costly articles," and with die most grave unddigmfi- d expression, , observes, "there is not ladies, probably, | another shawl in the whole western country i like that; and ill s is just like it, only it has not got the Ceveroe S ocknoi border on it" "Beau i ul / I declare 1 must huve that," 1 says one; "I never ! 1 say coz. you take j the one and I'll take the otner?what's the j price ?" Thecl 'rk gave one of those knowing looks, hesitated a litll , then obs' rved, < "really ladies, I don't know what to do? I expect I have done wrong in showing them?I?I " "O, now don't try to ge- off?we are dp. ' termincd to have the shawls?now what's , the price V' I "Why, I, they cost?now ladies I am * efnid I am doing wrong. Mr prom- J ised his wife he'd got the prettiest slmwl in New York when he went on last Spring, and I'm afruid I'd get my ears pulled if I should? "We can't h lp that?whats the price ?" 1 "Why they cost?one ten dollars and the J ! other fifteen ; but I am afraid I am doing b wrong to sell these shawls." 3 "Yes, well I'll wrap them up, but I really v don't know wh it Mrs. will say."
