POETRY. Prom the .Yew London Gazette. FADING, STILL FADING. BY MISS C- S. BULL, HARTFORD. Fading, still fading, is written on all, Over life's pathway still lingers the pall. Jov tor the youthful Fills high to the orim, Ere it be tasted Palo death enters in. Bright flowers unfold At the dawning of light, Where are those flowers At fading of night ? Fading, still fading is written on all, Over life s pathway s?ill lingers the pall. Beauty hke sunlight Gleams out for a breath, Guttering with gems For the bridal of death. The warrior in mail. To the battle sgeeds on, J/eath, (W'h ! is tho victor, The battie is w on. Fading, still fadrng, is written on all, Over life's pathway still lingers the pal!. Fame sowvl thy trumpet And ti'l the broad skies ; Fame ! 'tis a meteor, The ?cho replies. Grave it in marble, The deeds of the past; 'Tjs a writing in dust. Swept away by the blast. Fading, stiu fading, is written on a)1, Over life's pathway still lingers the pall. fatlllBI ? BH IIIIHWiMMHM?aP? THK CENTENARY.?MR. SANDS. The New York Spectator, copymg from English papers, says, that the day hxed for flit-celebration of the centenary of Methodism in England, and wherever there is a Wesh?yan Society, except at Liverpool, is Friday, the 25th of Oc'ober next. At Liverpool the celebration will take place during ttie session of the Conference, which will be some time eail er than the regular day. Speaking of the great meeting in Manchester, the Spectator says : "We have before us all the proceedings of this great meeting at Manchester. The speeches were full of interest, particularly those of Dr. Bunting and Thomas Farmer. The letter concluded a long speech with the following interesting sentence :?"I approve of the whole appropriation clause :? i should not like to fix the minimum of the amount to be raised at less than ?50,000. i think we may realize ?100.000 ; and be. fore I sit down, permit me, Mr. Chairman, to put down my name for one thousand pounds." Mr. Adam Bealey followed and after a spirited address, remarked that as the representative of Irs mother, ho begged also to subscribe one thousand pounds.? R. Chapptl, E<q. followed with the like Slim. Mr. .f.-i?. I I inircavc! nf nut ? h,v"'? l'"' down one thousand pounds. The next spanker was Thomas ?ands, Rsq., formerly of New. York. A for this gentleman had concluded a very animated speech, approv. ing ihe proceedings of the meeting, the following colloquy took place between him and Dr. Bunting: "Dr. Bunting.?What do you give "Mr. Sands.?What you please."? (Hear. hear.) Dr. Bunting.?That answer places me in a rather difficult situ t ion. Snail I say ?1000?" Mr. Sands.?If you please."?(Hear, hear) Mr : Sandt afterwards increased it to one thousand guineas." Mr. Sands whose n ime is so honorably mentioned in the above extract, is an Englishman, brought up in Yorkslur , but for many years of Liverpool, where he js the senior partner of a large Mercantile house of which there is (or lately was) a branch in New-York; where also he resided some four years or more. He has also passed two winters iu Charleston ; and to his k nd remembrance ol it we were indebted, ten | years ago, lor the pleasure of even more than making his acquaintance. He was our host during five weeks that we passed in L verpool. He has with much wealth a Urge family. His subscription of a thousunn guineas on the late occasion at Man. cheater, and the manner ol d jii g ir,: eminus usotas-nhmeiit we ouve he.itd ,< p-v- ivss.

Chr. Advocate. Family Reading.?We commend the following remarks ol Dr. Humphrey on this interesting subject, to the attention of our readers. ** For my own par, I have come gradually and I may say reluctantly to the con. elusion, that most of the religious reading in our families, is unprofitable, if not in the long run absolutely injurious to our children. It is not calculated to make them thinking, intelligent and full grown christians, but to keep them always in a sort of excitable, dwarfish and fitful minority. In this remark I include the thousand religious: story books designed for the nursery, with which the land is flooded, as well as fictitious works of higher pretentious. 1 hope the reader will uet misunderstand me. I do not object altogether to religious story books, infant biography and the like. Not a few of these little 18 and 24mos are very instructive, as well as interesting. But we have too many of litem?altogether too many in our nurseries, ar. 1 our Sabbath school libraries. Our babes have too much milk and they are kept too long upon it. They ought to have more meat. Certain 1 ? it is, that from some cause oro her, young christians of full stature and intellectual maturity, do not now take up so'id, practical and doctrinal religious reading, with any thing like that zes% which ycung d sciples of their age did, one third of a century ago; and I ascribe the difference mainly to : the muhip'ication of books of that class which 1 have just mentioned. It issode| lightful to run over volume after volume, borne on by the mere current of feeling, ; that thinking becomes irksome ; and when i our sons and daughters should be reading ; Howe and Baxter and Witherspoon and Dwight, and Robert Hall and Jonathan Ed.; j wards, they are still poring over the last re- j I ligious annual, or story book. And what confirms me still more in the , ] opinion which I have ventured to expres*,; : respecting the Lilliputian tendency of light ; i and fictitious religious reading is, that even ; many fathers and mothers in our Israel, who j ! were b: ought up on the substantial aliment, of the old Puritans, are now regaling them*, i j selves with the condiments of the nursery, j instead of adhering to the meat which they ! I were once so fond of, and in the strength j j of it, "going on unto perfection." Oft j thos^, also, who still retain their fondness ; for the old standard religious authors, how i many now prefer the most summary abridgements ami compends, to the thick i quarto and heavy octavos, which they used j ! to sit and ponder over, hour after hour, I i ..pon the Sabbath, and by the quiet even, j I ing fireside." j j From ihe New-Ham^hire Baptist Register. I A DIALOGUE. ! A# Cold, very colJ weather, neighbor B. B. Y ou say it's cold ? I call it very plea-1 j sanr. A To be sure, it isto-da}', but I mean j last Sabbath?that was a very cold day. B. Why, yes, something so, but I was ! not sensible of it's being so very cold. A. Well, I was; and I guess had you 1 een to meeting, and seen how many i amply pews there were in the several 1 meeting-houses, you would have been sen. ? sible of the fact. 1 B. I do not know how it is at other ' | places. I always attend my own meeting, j and I tell you, friend A., our meeting-house , j is the last place I should think ofgoing to, ? ! to ascertain the weather, unless, when I see a full house, I might suppofethe weaih. er was cold or stormy ; for our folks seem to go on the principle that in bad weather all must go that can, that the meeting may j , not be thin ; and wegenerfUly find it true, j i where there's a will thcrt\s a way," and ! j those who wish to go{ can ; and if any j thng, we general:y have the most out when ; ihe weather ii unpleasanf. ! A. Surely that's capital, your minister nev. I . er expects to be left alone. But I want , know how all this was brought about! B. I'll tell you; we have an excellent i minister. He told us we must act from principle, and not bo governed so much by 1 ' circumstances, and shouIJ always come to i meeting, if on the week-day we would 1 come there for fifty cents. And another tiling, he sen us the example, and in all the j twenty years he lias been with us, he has , ?ever let the pulpit be empty, because it ] was cloudy or cold or, if he felt a little un. | well, and I do not know as h* ever had < what some call the Sabbath day sickness, and wre as much expect to see our ourmin' is'er present, as we do any thing in the world ; and having had sach advico and ! good examples from him so long, we feel their effects ; and we think if our minister ! can go, we can ; and if it is his duty to preach, it is our 'uty to hear; and all day | | too,?our minister is always there in the , 1 fnrpnnnn. and we have but few afternoon i | folks. How was it with your people laat Sabbath ? I A. Hem?I cannot tell exactly ; felt un. ' well, I did not get out until afternoon : it waa , | so very colJ. B To tell you the truth, friend A., there is something colJ besides the weather, that makes enip'y pews and thin meeting houses. There are cold hearts, and a snd want of inclination in this thing, and a lack of sympathy for your minister, who comes with a message for you, but you are not there to i receive it, and his soul is pained at your | neglect. Had it been known last Sahbath ; by yonr people that all who should attend 1 mating half the day should receive twenty five cents, I think those pews would not : have been empty, and that the feeble i j h?-alih of my friend A., who appears so | we'd to day, would not have kept him at | home in the forenoon. Empty pews gen. e rally, should be considered as telling more about the s'ate of the heart, than about the | weather. I pray you look at the subject, \ see if it is not so. 1 From the Christian Advocate and Journal. 44 TRUE STORY" FOR THE CHILDREN. Some of the members of Mr. Lee's i household, of the town of M VV , j Mass., brought in from the woods a family of young red squirrels. Intho house wa? ! a cat which had just been robbed of h- r young. The squirrels were introduced to i an acquaintance with madam pussy, who oon concluded to adopt them in the place of her lost kittens, which conclusion she actually followed up by suckling, and bringing them up with all possible care and tendderncss. The young squirrils grew, were fat and plump, and soon been to be exceedingly frolicksome.?With toe peculiar agilL ty lor which their race is remarkable, they ! would climb about the house, and inspect | every corner. Full of fralck, they m ide ' great sport for the family, particularly by running and seizing the tail of the old cat, a which they would frequently give so lusty a tug as to extort a loud scream from her dame-ship, evincing that, " though it was sport to them," it was pain to her. They, however, were by no means chargeable with intentional cruelty towards their bene : fuctrrss, as the most perfectly good under. | standing always prevailed between them, i The stage on which, by their own choice 1 and the consent of the family, they were i lefi to perform their principal feats, was an ! old chamber or gi rre*. From this they could pass at pleasure in'o the open air, and return by the same communication. It happened that some of the feline race from abroad were in the habit of paying occasional \ isits to this chamber; and it was observed by the family that the squirrels weie never to bo found when these strange visitants mado tlx ir appearance. Whore they secreted themselves no one could tell. Bnt at length it was discovered, that on the departure of the strangers, and at the call of their foster mother, whose voice they perfectly understood, they emerged from a bag of pumpkin seeds, which was suspendded from some beam or joist in the room. The reflection of Cowper, in a most beau, tiful and interesting account he gives of three hares which he kept, is quite appropriate here. 44 It is no wonder," says he, 44 that my intimate acquaintance with these specimens of the kind, has taught me to hold I he sportman's amusement in abhorrence : he little knows w at amiable crea tures he persecutes ; of whit gratitude they are capable, how cheerful they are in their spirits, what enjoyment they have of life, and that, impressed as they seem with a peculiar dread of man, it is only because man gives them peculiar cause for it."
