And memory lingers at the hour When, leaving all my play, I thought her presence, from whose smiles i was not wont to 6tray. I was a "mother's boy" I knew, Yet was I much to blame ! For pleasure of the heart like this, The world has not a name. I slept?but thou couldst not, for oft My sleep, unquiet, told Of sickness stealing o'er my frame, And midnight saw thee hold Thy child within thy wearied armp, Whilst thou, to nature true, Wouldst sooth my frequent pain with all A mother's love can do.

Mrs, Burhy ?Good morning, my dear Mrs. Melville ! I have called for you to $ak? a walk this delightful day, so put by your work end get your hat and cloak. Mrs. Melville.?1 thank you, my dear Mrs. Burley,but must deny myself ihe pleasure you so kindly intend me, much as 1 should like to enjoy your society and the fine morning together, as 1 have some work on hand which 1 am anxious to finish by a given time. Mrs. B.?1 can't imagine, my dear tfnend, what work you can have of such imperative consequence with your small famly. Mrs M. ?Come set down a few minutes, {it is early yet,) ' nd I will explain, for I should be sorry that you should think me disobliging or indifferent to your kind attention in calling for me. The truth is, that 1 have undertaken to make up some clothing for a poor family which 1 w ish to present them with at Christmas, and as they have received s< me intimation ofit they will mimh Hisnnnointod should I fail in mv intention, and I must own I should feel mortified also, as 1 tak- peculiar pleasure in gladdening the hearts of the widow and the the orphan at that joyful season, which seem particularly adapted to the exercise of benevolence and the indulgence of all the kindly and social feohngs. Now let us change the subject, for I have been unwarily drawn in to speak of myself; and indeed had you been announced before you came up, you would have found me differently employed, as I never take up such work bu; when alone ; for think that in our charities; we should avoid the least appearance of display and conform as literally as possible to the injunction of not "letting one hand know what the other is performing." AIts. M ell, my dear friend, I have no doubt but you are acting perfecily right, and I think it very praiseworthy in you t/v im no ca mitrlt fsf timo J I IU ow anu ucny yourself innocent recreat on for the sake of the poor : but I can't see, for my part, why you might not give them the same money which you have laid out, and let them buy the clothes and make tncm up themselves as well as they can ; for if you think (as I suppose every bo Jy does) that we must be charitable or we shall not go to heaven, you will certainly have done your part by giving in alms what you can spare, without sacrificing your time and pleasure too. Mrs. M.?Ifrar, my friend, that you and I hpvc a very different idea of the duty of charity ; but 1 assure you it is not because i think it a necessary s:ep towards securing heaven that I endeavour to fulfil it to the best of my ability, for? Mrs. B. (interrupting)?Oh t I suppose you think (as some of the ancients did who knew nothing about religion) that the pleasure arising to a bemevol'-nt mind from see. ing and making others happy, is of itself a sufficient inducement to-be charitable ; and I believe it is, for! who an) not half so good ?3 y91 ec* ib*p09?fcr well os the rich with smiling fuees, particularly if 1 have been tin* m^ans of contributing >o it by what I could spare. Mrs. M.?You greatly misapprehend the nature of charily in both of the reasons which you assign (or the exercise of it. I j consider charity in all its various branches (so beautifully explained by St. Paul) as a positive dut) because it was enjoined on ins disciples by our blessed Saviour as a proof their love and obedience to him ; not as a means of ensuring eternal life : for 1 am well convinced that if all the good deeds , which have been dono in the world since the foundation of it, could have been performed by ono individual, they would not be ! able to purchase his salvation. Yet I will admit that the pleasure always attendant on ?I.? Ail en/1 an net ot benevolence is a aengnnuj <*.?? sufficient reward tor any inconvenience or self-deninl we may have lo encounter in the performance of it. Mrs. B.?You amaze mc ! what then is to becomo of us all ? how aro any of us to ge heaven 1 We may as well then indulge ourselves in every pleasure ns practice seljdenial an i strive to do our duty, if it is all in vain, and we aro to gain nothing by it. But you cannot be s? rious in what you say ; for if it was really so, who then could bo saved ? i Mrs M.?My dear fiiend, all may be saved die greatest sinner as well as the most j virtuous, who aro willing to accept of salvation as the free gift of God. b stowed through the merits and intercession of his Son, who offi'red himself on the cross a ransom for every penitent believer. Mrs. B.?There is something in this doctrine which I cannot rightly understand ; I you surely would not mean to infer that a person who lives in the constant discharge of his moral and religious duties, stands no higher in the estimation of God than a profligate who spends his whole life in sin ? Mrs. M.?Wc are sinners in the sight of God, and under condemnation, for the non-fulfilment of his law ; for we are told that " he who offends in one point is guilty of all." Now as no one ever lived who did not ofTend in many points, consequently the most per.'oct can have nothing to plead on the score of merit, and must necessarily | stand as much tn need of the sacrifice offerj ed by the Redeemer for the remission of sin as the most profl gate ; both must be washed clean in the blood ofthe Lamb and sane, tifitd through the influence of the Holy Ghost, before they can be made worthy to to receive the gift of eternal Ifc. But although we dare not plead tho merit of our works, and must renounce them, acknowledging ourselves to be with ad our efforts but un, profitable servants,yet good works are essentially necessary as an evidence ofour faith ; for as the goodness of a tree is proved by its fruit, so must our faith be evinced by our readiness to obey thecommands of God, as well as by our humility and deep condition for sin. Our Saviour says,u if ye love mo ye will keep my commandments." Mrs. B.?This doctrine of the Gospel is certainly a very humbling one, as it puis the saint and tb sinner on the same footing; but may no this equality be productive of some danger, by encouraging in the latter a presumptuous hope that he will be saved, no'withstanding thegicalest wickedness? Mrs- M.?St. Paul says,a we should not sin that grace may abound " The sinner cannot dccceive himself into a belief that ho may be saved while he continues in a state of actual sin ; because pardon of sin I is promised expressly to t e truly penitent, and to no other; now it is impossible for a person to go on sinning at the same time 'hat he looks with horror and Jetes'ation on his past life and feels himself utterly unworthy and vile ; he must first be conscious of his ruined and hopeless situation beforo he win be induced to fly to his Saviour for refuge, and must feel his absolute need of the sacrifice made for him, before he can derive the benefit of it. Mrs. B.?You have been very kind in taking so much pains to explain to me the true nature of faith, and 1 sincerely hope I may be enabled to profit by it; but I should like to hava a clearer view of what you call the influence of the Holy Ghost* Mrs. M.?!t is a subject of ao much mystery that I feci very diffident of expressing myself on it; I can only venture with great humility to give vou mv own impressions, *- - 11-4- 4L. and must refer you for further Knowledge 10 me study of the Holy Scriptures. I apprehend the Holy Spirit of God to be that Divine influence* which prompts every thing good within us, which impels the desire to seek God, and directs us to the proper means ; which sustains us in the hour of trial, and comforts us under bereavement; and which finally bestows on us ?hat " peace of God which passctholl understanding,"and which the world can neither impart nor deprive us of. * The Spirit of Gcd is not a " Divine injiu encc*' but the Mighty God, the third and coequal person of the Glorious Trinity, which alone worketh in the sinner "repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus I Chri6t." "The long existence of the Christian church, would be pronounced upon common principles, impossible. She finds in every man, a nut rhl and inveterate foe. To encounter and overcome the unanimous hostility of the world, she boasts no poli ical stratagem, no disciplined legions, no outward force of any kind. Yet her expec. tation is, that she shall live forever. To mock this hope, and blot out her memorial from under heaven, the most furious efforts of fanaticism, the most ingenious a ts of statesmen, the concentrated strength of I ? ^ La?*/v n. nn A?ftotir*r>4U?

The blood of her sons and daughters has sere mod like water, The smoke of the scaffold and the stake, where they wore ho crown of martyrdom in the cause of'Jesus, has ascended in thick volumes to the skies. The tribes of perse. cut;on have shouted over her woes, and erected monuments, as they imagined, of her perpetual ruin. But where are her tyrants ? And where are their empires ? The tyrants have long since gene to their Th^'r upon the roll of infamy. Their empires have passed liko shadows over the rock.? They havo successively disappeared and left not a frRce behind. But what became ofthochurch? She rose from ashes fn-sh in beauty and might. Celestial g!ory beamed aroun 1 her. She dashed down the monumental marble of her foes, and they who hated her, fled before her. She has celebrated the funerals ofkin^s and king doms that plotted Iter ruin, and with the jn? scriptions of their pride, has transmitted to posterity the records of their shame. How | shall this phenomenon bo explained ? We are at this moment witnesses of the fact, ! but .who can unfold the mystery? This ! biessed book, tho book of tru:h and love has mado our wonder to cease. The Lord her God in the midst of her is mighty. His presonco is a fountain of health, and his protection a wall of fire. Armed with divine power, his gospel, secret, silent, unobserved enters the hearts of men and sets up an everlasting kingdom. It eludes all the vigilance, and baffles all the power of every adversary. Bars and bolts and dungeons are no obstacle to its approach. Bonds and tortures and death cannot extinguish its influence." Dr. Muson. FOR CHILDREN TRUTH THE BRIGHTEST GEM. It was Saturday evening. The cenlro. table was surrounded by a circle of happy blooming children. Some were preparing heir lessons for the Sabbath.school, others were busily turning over the leaves of the large Bible. Presently the door opened, and Mrs, Woodland entered ui ha lamp in her hand having just come from the chamber where the three younger ones were quietly j resting on their pillows. "I am glad you have come, dear mother," said Emily, "for now you are quite at leisjre, and can help me so much about finding my texts. Only look ! all these beautiful passages I have found about truth ; i did not believe there were half so many in the Bible.- It seems as if God loves "truth" better than anyihing; and, mother, I have thought about it so much this week, that when I find a passage containing the word "truth," it seems like a beautiful gem, or something that I love."? "You are right, my child, in supposing that God delights in truth. There are more than a hundred texts in the Bible to show you how much He prizes truth, and abhors lying. And just so far as you love it, you resemble Him who is the perfection of truth." "Mother, shall I read you some of my passiges ? Here is one that 1 should love to write upon my heart, so that it would stay there. It is in Isaiah Ixiii. 8.h?4.My people are children that will not lie. So He was their Sav our.' 'His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.' All the paih9 of of the Lord arc mercy and truth and a great many more like them, but I love the one in Isaiah best,and I'll tell you why. Last summer, one morning, as you were busy about your work, one of the little children said something which you believed to be untrue. You were standing at the table making bread, and I saw the tears in your eyes, and you repeated very sbwly that passage. I never heard it before, but, it went down into my heart, and when I have been tempted to say som 'thing a little different from the exact truth, 1 think of those words : 4Mv people arc children ,at will not lie.' " "Ii was indeed a sweet passage to be treasured in your memory, and I hope you do not forget that thcro is one who can * write it I upon your soul'?whose very office it is to take the truths of God's word and show you j their life and spirit; or, in other words, to j make you love them more than gold or the j most costly gems. During this conversation the children had laid aside their books, and were n'tcntively listening. "Mother," said Willie, "did you ever know me to tell a lie ?" "Perhaps, my little boy, if you should examine your words and actions as carefully as your sister Emily has done, you might think of many instances in which you have stepped i /> .r* j, 1. r~. l ? c__ asiue irom *vjoa s pam oi irum. rur instance when little Albert took the pen from the inkstand and blotted your books a very little* the o'herday, 4Oh mother,'you cried out, 'Albert has blotted my book all over;' and when a few little birds were picking the crumbs in the yard, you exclaimed, -4Come and see these hundreds oi snow.birds.'" "Why, mother," said Susan, "that is just like Charlotte Reynolds, for when she was here she told mo tier aunt had a hundred rings, but when Emily asked her seriously if it was really true,' she confessed that she) had only twelve"Well, dear mother, I will try and be more careful; I know 1 want to speak the truth, and 1 try to," said the dear little boy, as his eyes filled with tears. God will help you, for he is ready to give you nil the assistance you desire ; and what could please him more tnan to see all my children seeking to walk in his pleasant 'paths of truth?' When you have selected all vour 'beautiful gems,' Emily, from the Bible, you may writ** them in a lnt'e book, and lav it on the mantel, that each one 01 the children may take a passage every day ; and let it be our daily prayer, 'Set a watch O Lord, before my mouth ; keep the door of my lips.'"?Mothers Magazine. DEAF ANL) DUMB BOY. Isaac B is a little boy eleven years of age, who cannot hear or speak. But h?- j is generally a happy boy, because tie tries to do right. Until a year and a half since, he lived in entire ignorance, in a poorhouse in the state of New York, with his mo: tier an idiot brother. He was then sent by some kind people to be educated. One day his teacher requested another i pupil in the same cla^s to write the h ssoti 011 a 'arga slate, so thai he could explain it to all ot thotn. Isaac was a very pretty winter, and he was proud to th nk that he cou i write better than trie other boys. This was wronf* . O' When the lesson was written, the teachrr cadcd the class around him, and Isaac took h* 'n ^nr. m if could I llnd any mistakes. This was wrong again. In a few lines the teacher found a word spelled wrong, and kindly pointed it out to ho lad who had written it. At this Isaac's I eyes sparkled, and ho looked with triumph on his companion, lie was so pleased that he could not sit stil1, and he twisted his neck, an 1 curled up his lips with half a smile, as if he would have said, if he could, 'There, you made a mistake, and I'am glad of it." Thi<s orieved his teacher and ho asked j D" . . . , Isaac by signs, (tor Isaac could not have heard him if ho had spoken,) if God was pl -ased to see him feel so ? Isaac suddenly drew in Ids breath, and bit his under lip, seeming to say, "Ah ! I have forgotion it was wrong to feel so. I am sorry, I am sorry." At the same time he put his hand to his forehead, and appeared to grasp something very firmly which he direw upon the floor, and stamped upon it as if crushing sorneihing to death. What do you suppose Isaac meant by doing so ? I suppose that he meant to show hat he would throw away these had thoughts, and tread them in the du9f. L.ttle reader, remtmbcr this, at d try by die grace of God to overcome every evil thought and feeling. Unless you do this, you can never be hap. py.?Conn. Observer. The Light of Nature.?The celebrated Mr. Ilume, wrote an essay on the sufficiency of nature ; and the no less celebrated Dr. Robertson, wrote on the necessity of Revelation, and the insufficiency of the light of nature. Hume came one evening to visit Roberson, and the evening was spent on the subject. The friends of boih were present, and it is said that Robertson reasoned with accustomed clearness and pow. er. Whether Hume was convinced by his reasoning or not we cann >t HI; but at any rate he did not acknowledge his conviction. Hume was very much of a gentleman, and, as he roso to depart, bowed politely to those in iho room, while, as he retired through the door, Robertson took the light to show h'm the way? * O sir,'* he continued, " I find the light of nature always sufficient," as he bowed on. The s reet door was open,and presently, as he bowad along the entry, he s umbled over something concealed, and pitched down stairs into the street. Robert, son ran .after him with a candle, .and .as he held it over him wliisp red softly a d cunningly?41 You had I) iter have a li'tb* light from above, friend Hume," and raising him up he bade him good night, and returned to his friends. i Anecdote of the Rev. Jas Armstrong.? Some yr.ars ago, the Rev. Mr. Armstrong 1 nrcached at Harmonv. near the U abash. I t J , when a uocfcr of that place, a profissed Deist or Infiui 1, called upon his associates to accompany him, while he " a:tacked the Methodist," as he said. At first he ask- i rd Mr. A., if he "followed prea hing to j save souls?" ho answered in the affirma. live. He then asked Mr. A.." if he ever sa w a soul " No." "If lie cvr-r Iicard a soul ?" " No." " If he ever tasted a 1 soal ?" " No," " If he ever smett a soul f" 1 "No." " If he ever felt a soul?" "Yes, i thank God," said Mr. A. "Well," said ? the doctor ** there are arc four of tho five ( senses against one, to evidence that there P \ is no soul !" Mr. Armstrong then asked the gentleman if he was not a doctor of medicin", and was answered in the affirmative. Ho then asked die doc or " if he ever saw a pain ?" " No," " It ho ever heard a pain ?"" No." " Ii lie ever tasted a pain ?" "No" "If lie evcrsmelt a pain?" "No." "If he ever tilt a pain?" Mr. A. then said, " there are four senses against one to evidence that there is no pain, and yet, sir | you know there is pain, and I kr.o.v there is a soul.'?The doctor appeared confounded j1 and walked off. j' From the New- York Observer. i sr. Humphrey's thoughts on education. i Early Habits. Several of these, which involve high par. ental responsibility, I have specified already. J Others, more than I have time to notice, | will doubtless occur to the readers of the Observer. Allow me just to glance at the ; following. IJromptituue and Strict Punctuality. You will obsetve some children, in fami. j Ics where you visr, if not in your own, that are never ready to go at the first bidding. They must be requested or commanded to do some little thing, twice, perhaps three or four times, before they can be induced to move. They do not mean to break the the fifth commandment, but on the contrary to honor and obey their parents, in all things. They are not quite ready, however, and tiiey are sure it makes no difference, whether they go thisminutoor the next. They want to read to the next paragraph, or to hear a story through, or ?o warm themselves a hide longer, or to he indulged in some other equally frivolous excuse lor lingering. Now this is a very bad habi-, which ought never to be winked at, and which indeed is never formed, hut under mistaken parent d indulgence. If your child does not hear and obey you the first timo how can you bo sure that ho will ihe second, or even .h'third, unless the loud and altered tone of your voice should convince him, that you are quite out of pitience, and that i' will not , do to linger any longer ? How often do children, when they have no thought of disobeying, wait till the chore is forgot on, or the parent is oblig-d to do it himself, of which, however, tie has no right to com. plain, as it is his own fault. But the i^ury to tliem is very ureaf, in thus early allowing them to form habits of procrastin ttion, j which they will be very apt to carry along with them throu h J.fe ; and which, I need , not say. w ill be extremely inconvenient com -t to themselves and their friends. "Samuel, ' my son, such a thing is wanu-cl* will you at. tend to it!" * Yes sir"?and then reads ] on. " Samuel, did you hear me? T??e , J fire is getting low, or your mother wants 11your assistance." Still the boy is not quite ready to start. Then start him, and in such * a way that he will not hereafter mistake the tenses ;*and ho will thank you for it ns j long r.9 you five. So when you send your children upon ! errand.-?, or permit ihcm !o visit their litile j ^ playmates, and fix til) hour Tor their return, J it is vastly important that you strenuously w< insist upon punctuality ; not because their 311 time is so valuable, lor it may bo worth ?jj very little, or nothing to you after they come jj' back. But aside from our cw \ convenience, (]j. in knowing that the errand is done, and pu where your children are, when out of your sight, the habit of adhering to the letter of your instructions, is so essential to their fu- ~~ tare usefulness and well-being, that parenta.. n axity on tins point, may be followed, and J I have no doubt often is,by irreparable losses &, of property, if not of character. The child mi may plead that ho was urged to overstay his time, or to go off somewhere else to play, c and that he was sure you would have given ' him leave, had you been there ; and it may j ail be very true?but beware how you listen j to such excuses. They go to sap the foundation ofyour authority, at the same j cii time that he is formini? a iiabit so mischiev. I ous to himself.
