POETRY. From the Michigan Observer. YET WE MUST DIE. Though life we spend in sunny bowers, 'Mid laughing meads and scented flowers, And bliss attends our tran quill hours, Yet we must die. Though Love's bright torch may gladly blaze; Though teem with joy our happy days; Though beauty's smiles delight ou* gaze, Yet we must die. Though oft by fancy borne away, We bask in irgions bright and gay. Where pleasure grows with constant ray, Yet we must d?e. Though circled with the pomp ofetate, r\?K/* law. ,,ur whisoer fate. ' ^III-WUIU WW , ttur halls must soon be desolate, Vet we must die. For we must part with love*g bright ray, Our gayest dreams must flit away, Wealth, beauty, pleasures all decay. And we n*U9t die. From the Newark Daily Advertiser. HOW TO MANAGE YOUR HUSBAND. It h is been one of my most serious np. {prehensions, that in the multitude of ourso. eieties and public combinations men ;and women might chance to forget that they have any thing to do individually.? We have -societies to take care of our health, and societies to take care of our kitchens. Alms giving, so far as done at all, is done by wholesale, Perhaps we may see the day when we shall rftfne together, like the Spartans, and when tfll family cookery and education shall be done upon the large scale. ITbeac thought* were Drought to my mind with greater force that common, a Tew days sime,upon my making a visit to the house of Mrs. Nelson, the wife of a reputable farmer, a few miles from our village. II 1 were to attempt a portrait of this excellent lady, I should fill a volume ; 1 con only give a skttcliy outline. Mrs. Nelson is, in the American as well as the English sense, ft fine woman. Temperance, early rising, industry, and above all serene cheerfulness of soul, have left on her cheek at forty, those roses which fusion and excitement often blaet before fifteen. But what I look my ft o to notice, was that truly femenine and " * ? ^ i i Chris juiitrart of my good Irienu?sue is a kttptr at home. Though I have been o church going man many years, 1 do not re? membe r to have heard any one of oui clergy enlarge ujwn t lis Scripture phrase; and yet the old**- I grow the mere meaning llieir s* eins to be in it. The best womec in thu world ur?- those who slay at home such is the opinam of the best judges, tc wi?, their husbands. The worst womet ar?' those who h ;ve no home, or who have no home, or w ho love a!l other places bet< ter ; sucn is the verdict of those who mee them abroad. A wife in the house is ai indispensable as ;?s:e rsincd at: ihewhe?i Why can oount up the cases where pooi fellows have been ruined by their wives ? Tikis is a hard saying, but if it were sof tencd, it would be less true. Surely it it so disrespect to the better sex to point a these rare exceptions, which like the dirr tarnish on the face of the moon, make the ** - * a other tracks look all 'lie bngbur. Aiiei you shall have exaggerated to the utrnos the number and thefauhs of tho gaddng. gossipping, and idle womefi, we still have a milhonof American house.wives, brighten. 4Bg a million homes and hearts. Mrs. Nelson is one of them. Her husband is nol the meekest man in :he country, for by nature the most hospitably but she makes on for ail, like the credi; side of an account. In the exercise of the passive virtues, she finds her greatest happiness. She holds it to be one of the very firs* rtiries of life to render her home delightful, first to her husband, next to her children, and then to atl who may enter Iter hospitable doors. Early in life, she observed that several of her hus. band's iniimate acquaintances were becom. ing irregular in their habits, she and Nelson, talked it over at length. He being a rough man, declared it be his intentioo to break off all iotimacy with Lang and Shepherd, on the spot. 4 O i.o j husband,1 said she, 4 hat would b* cruel, remember the proverb 4 A soli word breaketh the bona.' Lei me alon< to bring them o iheir bearings ; ai any rate give me a month for an experi. raent." 4 You ?

Wan but i'- e month roiled round. Nelson bad bard work to refrain fr m falling upon the tw? men violently, but he ua ted to see t .e issue, and even kept out of tueir way that the incantat on migiit be uninterrupted. At the close of less than three weeks Lang and Sheplicrd were two of the most quiet; or. derly, and domestic men in the neighb rbood. 44 Why Mary," said Nelson,44 what in Ihe world have you done tothim ?"?441 ? .aw. , i 1_ nusoand ' i nave not excnangeu worus wim them for weeks." *' Then you have had some witchcraft at work. 44 Not I," she replied ;14 the story is soon related. 1 had observed for a long time that their homes were growing dismal, and I often told Mrs. Lang wnat I feared concerning her husband. Indeed I had heard you tell of his repeating over his glass that abominable saying, Mhe devil's at home*' After my conversation with you, I sc-t to woik?not on the husbands but their wives. Simple creatures they scarcely knew what I me. nt. They wished indeed that the men would spend more time at home, aud even wept about their late hours and rum drinking. But they were not prepared for my telling tbera that they must redouble the attractions of their own fireside and table?make the cheer better?the fire brighter?the children cleaner?the welcome heartier ; call in a pleasaut neighbour to tea?have a litttle ingiag in the evening, and even invite to ! a comfortablo supper two or three of the e ! husband's tavern cronies. The thing tool; J ! cdtnirably. The wives triumphed, and J c I hope you are satisfied.'*' f Though it is likely Nelson did not just v j then suspect it, this was tbe very course r which had proved successful in saving him- s self from ruinous habits.?And most ear- [ t nestly is it to be wished that all our towns i and villages wero filled with such wives as ! f honour and lovo the family institution ! ! 1 Every one lias made the observation that i i there are many more women who are rolig- j t ions than men ; but the final cnuso of this I i has not so often b<en remarked. Divine . I i providence by this discriminating favour to the one sex, pours influence into the so. i cial fountain. As are the mothers of a na- I tion, so will be iho sons, and, in a measure, the husbands.

Humphrey's thoughts on eeucation. . Family Reading. j I have said, that in my judgment, tho i j children of pious families have by far too j i many religious story books put into their: hands, and are kept too long upon milk,j essences and high-seasoned condiments. The same objection lies against almost til the family reading of the present day. It , is light, exceedingly light?consisting of stories, nursery dialogues, scraps extracts, anecdotes, dec. dec. The objection h*rp, !? lies not against the quality, but the quantity. , A certain amount of such easy and familiar ! reading, in childhood, is very useful. We could hardly do without it. To have it all *wept off, would be a great loss. But as it ' i wns with the volumes of the ancient-Sybil, | C"? third cf the number would be worth , more than th j whole. Dr. 3. of C. once ( shrewdly remarked, respe< ling a sermon , which he luJ just heard, 1 A few flower* I will do very well, but who wants a whole bushel of dandelions!' So in this case? L there i? incomparably too much baby liter attire upon our book.seller's counters, and , flying abroad, like the locusts, glittering in , the sun, in their septennial transmigrations. \; These iitde books arc so new, so well got J! up, so amusing and so cheapthat our chil. J dren cannot help teasing us for them, and J j we caanot help buying them. Jf childhood , was the only period of human life, it would l do perhaps; and it must be owned, that , nothing is better calculated than this kind j of family reading, to prolong and perpetuate i the lisping period of intellectual babyhood. This is my objection. In the reading which we sanction and recommend, we ought to keep up with tltf years, as they roll, on, and to provide such aliment us will 3 \ minister to mental growth and maturity, j We cannot keep our children always in the j nurseries and trucklebed, if we would, j They will grow up and become men and p women, hot!) in age and stature, in spite cf t ' us. As parents, we are debtors," both to the church and the state, and we have no [ right to turn thern off, with a race ofintellcc. tual p/gxnics. " -.1 __..L , j 1 love to see (tie aear nine praiuers wua I j their picture books and infantile quarots; j and am quite willing they shoulJ prattle a i year or two longer, than some of my friends would think either manly, or womanly ; but , I do not h'ke to see them thumbing and devouring Robinson Crusoe and books of that class, when they ought to be reading tbe best standard authors in the language, j | ft is doing them and the puM*c great injusi tice to allow it. Now if you wish to avoid this great evil, . take the matter into your own hands, and , keep the early reading of your children as i much as possible, under your own eye.? j You cannot, I am aware, reduce the existing , plethora in juvenile literature. Authors w?lf , deluge the markets, and multitudes will continue to purchase. But you can make t your sslecttons. You can allure your chil; dren to the love of reading, by putting a few j books suited to their tender age into their ! i hands. As soon, however, as they have ac. i i quired the taste, and are old enough to fix j. i their attention longer upon what they read, | it is of the highest imDortanee. that vnn ', o r "? w ?" j ' should loud them on, step, by step us fast as their growing strength will euable them to follow you. If you leave them to luxuriate among snow-drops and butterflies, under the notion that they are acquiring a taste for graver application, you will find yourselves mistaken. You must gently and al. most imperceptibly remove the favorite j story-books out of their sight, and substi- ! tute larger and more instructive volumes. Begin, for example, with some interesting book of'ravels. Gather as many of the blooming circle around you, as are of a suitable age, in a winter's evening. The first question is, 4 where did the traveller go? | what countries did he visit?' Spread out I your map upon the table, and sit down with your children as to a banquet. Where there are several of them, let them read by ;urns. < Show by your attention, how deeply interested you feel yourself. Explain whatever you apprehend they may no: fully understand ; refer often to the map, and point out the situation and bearings of all the more important places. A .^k them th meaning ofdifficuit words, and encourage them to pause end ask jus: as many ques'ions as they please. In this way they will soon become deeply interested?quite as much so, as they ever were in the tales of the nursery.?whereas, if you had merely pot the same book into their hands, and left them to read it, out of the sunshine of your smiles, and without the aid of your questions and explanations, it might have been an irksome c and profiles task. Never continue the ex- t trcisc so long, as to make it tiresome. ! Il father leave off while the children are wide ; tl iwake and would be glad to go over a low | u >nges oiore. They will then look forward in vith dt s re ai d even impatience to your1 *j jext letejro hour, and when it arrives, will! p ipreud the table, and bring out the map, and : a ead and listen, with increasing satisfaction. ; n In, this way you will, for the most part, i it ind it perfectly easy to weun your clr drcn ! n 'rom the breast, and to give them a high. c relish for more substantial nutriment. When i hey have finished one book of travels they . 1 will call for another. Having gained some t knowledge of the interior of America, they j i will want to pass over to Europe?to visit ! t T tl..~ ..n,l I o. i uuiiuuii) unu*& en uuu rvvjiljt"* uijj ou J (; Petersburg^?to wander among the Alps, j c and bask on tho sunny plains of Italy?to ! t go to Athens and stand on Mars' Hill?jt thrnco to Constantinople, to Egypt, or to s the Holy Land and so across to; i Persia, India, Birmah and China. And ' i wheo they have read as many travels as; t you think their timo wil allow, they will j r not be less delighted, in taking up voyages ; i and ?a ling round the world with Capt/Cook j t touching at the great Islands in the Ind'ati i $ Occean?exploring the vast Pacific. Ar-, {, chip dago?penetrating the ice of the urc-j c t:c c rtlrjw it'? Capt. Frankl n, and wintering j j, with Sir John Ross, amid the ice-bergs of 1 ; tho ever fitful Hashes of the Aurora Bengalis ! f and under the very paws of Ursa Major. t In such a course of reading, your-children : { will shor'ly become so much interested, that r whether you can command the time to sit f down wi.h or not, they will go on; and in- j deed, will leave you little else to do, but to ( select and furnish the books. In making 1 I your selections you will find none more in. 1 1 Structive, or interesting, than those volumes,; c to which the researches, labors and progress \ of modern missions have given binh ; such ! [ as the narratives and journals ofTyermao,! 1 and Bennet, and Ellis, and Williams, and ' 1 1 .t i ??.i I 1 Liuiziuii, ana dniun, uuu vw^un auu , i Parker, and many others. And 1 take this j I opportunity to say, J hat Protestant Mis- j t sionarics from our "own and from oilier j * countries, are at this moment do?ng more j < to make us acquainted wi.h the actual con- j I dition of the world, than any other class of j s men. Living as they do, in flic remotest; I regions and among all the different races j I that have sprung from the first human pair, I they enjoy advantages jfor becoming ac- < quaintcd with the character, habits and con. i dition of ail 4tho great branches of the hu- J man family, which very few others possess, \ so that by putting this class of books into i the hands of your children, you will accom.; t plish two great objects at once. You fill 11 furnish them with the most authentic infor- 11 mation, concerning the state of barbarous I countries, and will interest them in the all. s important cause of foreign issions. < From voyages and travels, you may ; | pass to history; or if you think it best, you I j may begin with history, and provided you ! J ore willing 10 lake the necessary pains ai < t first, you will find no serious difficulty, in j 1 giving your children a3 high a relish for I ( this kind of reading, as you could wish. ' i The human mind loves knowledge and in 11 its healthy and unsophisticated stale, it loves j < truth betier than fiction: The history of > \ man, in all ages, in all counuies, under allj j forms of government, in all stages of im- j provement! Can there le any thing like it to excite curiosity and stimulate to en- < quiry? But will few exceptions, the r young mind must be put upon the right \ track. The great majority of children will r cleavo to their story books and become too I much enamored with fiction, to relish any s thing else, unless they are led up into a high- j t er and clearer region, at the right time. ! r If you wish}our children to love history, j f take your map and sit down with them as t before. They will first want tofcnow some- g thing about their own country?its discov. \ ery, its aboriginal inhabitants, its tattle- ii mont, its mountains, rivers and lakes, i s a present condition, population, cities d:e. t By selecting a good history, stopping every a now and then to explain, to point out places t upon the map and to answer questions, you e will find it extremely easy to gain their at- v tention, and make them regard as a privil- r ege, what they at firs% perhaps, Itaksd for. ; p ward to as a task. When you have kept ti them long enough upon America, you can take up the history of England; and so s proceed from country to country, and travel b back to tho beginni g of time. The his. s tories of Greece and Rome and Carthage ii and Egypt, will interest them exceedingly ; j d and so, in fact, will all others, whether an-J u cicnt or modern if thev are drawn up in a ; c pleasing style, and aie read with the help ti of good maps, and in the presence of a lis- v* toning and delighted parent- Neither voy n ages, travels, nor history, should ever be h read in the family without maps. If they si are not used for a considerable time at least, n half the pleasure and more than half the d profit is lost; and good atlases are now, so t? cheap, that a little saving will enable all most any family to purchase them. The more time you can devote to the historical reading of your children and indeed to ail it thpir PPflHinty fIlO IwtfPF. T'hnu ttrill IaUP i S| D, ...w ? ..V.J mil ?W- you the more ; and ihe more ihey love you A the better will they love such books as you recommend. ? As they advance in age and in their ed. w acation, the best English Essayists and oth- b ?r models of fine writing, should be put into e their hands ;and from these, as their pow. n ;rs are more fully developed and unfold* d, n oward the close of their minority, they may o proceed to more abs*ru>o works, in the ll rnrious department of education, govern- h nent, political economy and intellectaal cl ind moral phil sophy. ai But here i may be asked, who is to take nr hat important lead and direction in family "ending which I have above insisted on ? [s the father to do it alooe, or is the mother in o do it, or should they co-operate in this, as h: veil as every other branch ofhomeeducaion 1 Certainly they should co-operate, tfc iVhere both are living, the whole duty, (or sc >rivilege, rather) devolves upon neither, a kVhich shall do th-? most, depends upon cir- W :umstances. Sometimes one and some- to imes the other, will have :h? most leisure.?#h tdoes not follow, by any means, because j le'mother is always at home,an J the lather j s necessarily much abroad, that she is to do i 11 and he nothing, in any branch ofeduca-1 on. I know well, how impossible it is for irofessional men to command their t:mu ;' nd that various branches of business leave! :ien but lirtle time to spend wiih their fani | ies. But I sm O'cc to confess, that wo ! night all find more tune to read with our i hildrcn, and to help their mothers in train-1 ug them tip for both worlds, than we do. , Vnd as to tlto great majority of fathers in 1 his Country, they have a vast deal of leisure,; specially in the long win.erevenings, which hey might devote to useful reading wit i their :hildren, and thus continually add >o their iwn stock of knowledge, at the same time hat they would bo imparting and enjoying he highest domestic happiness bv tin ir fire, iJes. flow much do a large class of intel. igent and excellent fatliers lose, by spend-, ui iiiwii niiir^i UUIU.IU, u: u hoy do not absolutely lose the time, how nuch less do they enjoy and gain,than they night by staying at home, an<i how much !o their children lose by their absence. What in amount of most ntoresting and useful ' mowledgc might they accumulate in half a I lozen years simply uy the help of such a ser- j us of volumes as Harper's Family Library. Vndis there, can there be any purer earth y elicity, than virtuous parents experience, in he society of their children, and in leading hem oil in paths of Intellectual, moral and eligious improvement. B2AUTIES OF TIIB NEW TESTAMENT. i We rcintmbcr several years ugo, to, iavo heard a quaint preacher remark on he beauty of the original text, in the first! ihapterauJ the last clause of the twelfth rerse, in the first Epistle of Peter. The tnssago is understood to refer to :!io glorious ; nystery of redemption through the atone nent of the Saviour. King Jamc's trans-' ators, the authors of our present version, iavo rendered it simply, " which things J he ang?ls desire to look into." Bit a ciostrj ?xtmiiiation will lead tnc cri.ical reader to | lcclare with the preacher for the superior j Jeautyoftho original. Our present tran-! ilation of the Bible, though univesaily al-1 owed to he a most excellent one, and de- i icient in no essential doctrine of the Greek cxt, has sometimes faded to .ransfer into iur native i uom, those distinctive shades ol ! waning, which appear in the original pages. < * < - - * ? ??. ' In the passage unuer consideration, me. >void which represents the desire of lite I Heavenly spirits to scan the wonderful j heir.e, is derived from the one whicii sig- ' lifies love. A term more generally up- j died to what has usually been considered : lie strongest passion in human nature, is | summoned to assist in describing the zeal>us interest with which the unguis contour1 date the magnificent operations ofdivine jrace upon the the theatre of as;nful world. Nothing can oxcrcd the beauty and force ol he passage. Perhaps it will admit the bllovviug version : " Over which the an- I jcls ben 1 down, as eagerly desirous to press nlo it." The celestial hosts are rcpresen- ; ed as filled with amazement at the scheme )f redeeming love display ed on the earth, so ;hnt they stoop from their sacred abodes to jaze,, examine, an t udiifir the gioiims tcene.
