POETRY.
From the Poems at \V. B. Tappan.
TO MY MOTHER IN NEW ENGLAND.
Mother! nix summer months have flown
Since thou and I have met;
And though this heart has wept alone,
It never could fo-grt
The happy hours of infancy,
Those hours unknown to careWhen
6heiu red in a mother's love
It fondly nestled there.
Mothtr! I well remember thou
Wouldst smile upon thy boy ;
And warmly on his childish brow,
Imprint the kiss of joy.
t ii.An.Lfo,! u'litr mv crl.iHnpPfi then

\Va8 changed to sudden fear,
When on my glowing check I felt
The traces ot a tear.
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.
Long years ha?e wandered by since
then,
And 1 haves ped my way

First hailed the laughing day ;
Yet mother ! truant thought returns
And lingers oft with thee ;
Hast thou not. O my parent, yet
A blessing left for rae.
Thou art no* what thou wast, for age
Has silvered o'er thy hair ;
Tny eye is dim, thy cheek is paleTime
sets his signet there;
Yet dearer, dearer to this heart,
Thy reverend hoary head,
My Mother ! than the Auburn locks
That youth upon thee shed.
IIow could it fail to touch my heart
With filial thought, when I
Knew it was care for mc that paled
Thy cheek, and dimmed thine eye?
Yes, eloquent the tender glance
That thou dost turn on me;
Dimly, yet kindly?in that look,
How much of love I see !
Be it my lot to smooth the way.
Before thy pilgrim feet;
And cause the heart that yearned for me,
Long, long with hope to beat.
Be it my iot to pillow where
Thou eeekest thy last repose ;
-One little flower shall mark the spot?
Tha simple church-yard rose.

A DIALOOUS ON FAITH AND GOOD WORKS
BETWEEN MRS. MELVILLE AND MRS, BURRLET.
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

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

have passed liko shadows over the rock.?
They havo successively disappeared and
left not a frRce behind. But what became

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

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.

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

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.
