BEMARX.UL^ CASS OF A SAILOR. A youth ^bcut seventeen or eighteen years of age watted upon one ot the seere. tarics of the Bethel companies to purchase a Tract, fie was asked, '-Have you attended any of the Bethel prayer-meetings on tear J ship?" "Yts, the last evening only yesterday 1 iunJed from my voyage; this afternoon I am bound to Shetlan J to see my ft tends. Although tit s visit to the Bethel meeting was accidental, it lias been the means oi great consolation to my mind." "I vim glad you found it sc. Were you unhappy ?" 'Sir, I will relate to you wha: took place in my last voyage. I sailed from London in a Scotch vessel for the West indies, second Mate, the most profligate and abandonel v\rc!o'i that'ever sailed salt water, particularly for profane swearing.? Our captaie, though a good seamen and kind to his ship's company, cared not for Iiis own sr.un nor for the souls of his ship's crew. We hud been at sea sixteen days, it came on night, it was my watch; the il'irlf nml !nn>i.rini? -in.I Km, u,-..* Hug \IMI U UMU iVIl VI llt-j U UU ?/ut 1*1 i' win-! a: the time ; we had most of our lower sails out, an 1 I was walking fore and aft on tlif InewarJ side of the ship when a sudden puff of wind caused tiio vessel to give a heavy lurch ; not prepared to meet i', I was caps z d, and came headlong against one of the stanchions. Feeling much hurt, I gave vent to my anger by a dreadful oath, cursing the wind, the ship, the sen, an J, awful to relate, the Be ng who made them.? r<-.. h t! this horrid oath escaped my lips, .. \ui i: so in d :o r??ll l>?ck upon my mind with so frightful an image that 1 ran ah, and for a moment or two thought I saw the sea parting "and the vessel going do vn. I took the luirn from the man who was at it und put the ship's head close to the w'nd. All that night my awful oath and its consequences were passing before my eyes like a spectre ; for several days 1 was miserable. Ashamed to acknowledge the cause. I asked one of the men if ne had any book ;o lend me to reaJ ; ho offreJ men French novel by Rousseau. I asked if he had a Bible or a Testament. He answered bv asking it' I was going to die ? m O O w for his Dart, he said, he never troubled his head about the Bible or Prnyerbook, he left all these matters to t:.e priest, with whom he had h it part of his pay to pray for hint; and if I had done so, 1 should not have been so squeamish. The captain I knew had one, but 1 was unwiiling to ask the loan ofit. Some days passed thus ; my mind t ontinuing in the greatest torment, and this dreadful oath always before me. I could not pray; indeed I thought it was of no use. On the fifth day I was turning some things over in my chest and found some trifllos I had purchased for sea stock wrapped in paper, this piece of paper,? putting his hand at the same time into his jacket pocket, and from a small red case pulling out the paper, a leaf cf the Bibb*, containing nearly - the whole of the first chapter of Isaiah. Lb, how my heart throb, bed when I found it a piece of ilw Bible !': (At this part of the narrative the youth was much a (Tec ted.) He pressed the leaf tc his heart, and added, "Bu', oh! sir, conceive what I felt when I read these words, Though your sins bo as scarlet, ihey shal be as white as snow ; though they Le red like crimson, they shall be as woo!.' Oh sir! 1 ke a drouing man J clung to this and prayed that the Lord would be graciously pleased to remove, in somo measure, my guilt. Still my heart felt heavy; but J trust that in a.tt nding your Bethel prayermeeting last evening I felt some comfort and consols ion, and I hope the Lord will speak peace to my soul."

Summer and winter do not depend upt n the position of the sun with regard to the earth, but on His appointment who is Sov. ertign in all tilings. It is dangerous to a//, and fatal to some, to f??rget that we are introduced into this world inert !y o amuse ourselves for a few years as well as we can, and then !o pass out of if unnoticed by Him who sent us. It strikes me as a very observable instance of the kindness of Providence to man, thai an exact accordance has been contrived betw? en his ear, an 1 the sounds, with which it is almost every moment visited. All the world is sensible of ihe uncomfortable eff ct that certain sounds have upon the nerves and cousequ'n ly upon the spirits ; and if a smfal world had been ft,I- d with such as would have curdled the blood, and hive made the sense ot hearing a perpetual in. convenience, I do not know that we should have had any right to complain.

Even the ears that are deaf to the Gospel, arc continually entertained, thouL'h without knowing it, by sounds far which they are solely indebted to its author. To contemplate the world, its follies, its vices, i's indifference to duty and its stren. uous attachment to what is evil, and not to reprehend, were to approve it. When Italy was a land of heroes, she knew no more of the true God than hercicisbios and her fiddleis know now ; and indeed it seems a matter of indifference, whether a man be born under a truth that does not in. fluence hi n, or under the actual influence of a lie. No ar:ist can excel without the finest feelings ; und every man that has the finest feelings, is, and must t>*, amiable. Nothing is quick enough for impatience, and I suppose that the impatience of an anthor has the quickest of all possible movements. Our temper at the present day differs somewhat from that of the ancient Jews. They would neither dance nor weep. We rrdecd weep nr?t, if a men mourn unto us :1 but I must needs say, that if he pipe, we crc drspos'.d to dance with the grc.reat alacrity. Those events that prove th : prelude to our fiteatest success, are often epparently j trivial in themselves, and such as seemed o promise nothing. Fame bezels lavor ; and cno talent, if it | bo rubbed a liule by use and prac ice, will ! procure a man mere friends than a thousand j j vir:ucs. j Be not sorry that your iuvc cf Christ, j I was first excitcJ by a picture. Could a j dug or a cat suggest tu me the thought that hf i Christ is precious, I would not desoisc that b( i thought because a dog or a cat suggested al i it. The meanness of the instrument cannot debase the nobleness of the principle, si lie that kneels before a picture of Christ is j th an idolater ; but lie in whose heart thosight ; be of sue!) a picture kindles a warm retnern- b< ranee of the Saviour's sufferings must be a pi Christian. The representations of the dyir g may ! m ! strike us at the time ; anJ if they sttr up in is ; us a spirit of sdfexamination and inquiry, te j so that we rest not till we have made his ai | views and exp? rience our own, it is well ; G otherwise the wind that passed us is not le j sooner gone, than the effect of the most scr- G i ious exhortations. te | A principle poem is like a swan, it Hies hi j hea\ily and never far ; hut a jest has the ai i wings of i swallow tint never lire, nnd ci j that carry it into every nook and corner. f< i If we do not improve by prac.icc, then M j nothing can mend us ; and a man has no j [more cause to ho mortified, at being told b | that he has exc- lied himself, than the cle.

We I j cannot, indeed, lose those we love without regretting it : but a Ciiris'ian is in posses- n sion of such alleviations of that regie', as ! t' . the world knows nothing of. Their belov. t< eds, when they die,go they know not whith- P er ; and if they suppose them, as they generally do, in a state of happiness t!>ey have a yet but an indifferent prospect of joining them in that state hereafter. t( It is well for little folks that great folks are a apt to be somewhat capricious ; they would 6 otherwise, perhaps, be at all times insolent and oppressive alike. ^ From the Mothers Magazine. 1 THE HAPPy FAMILY. h *) It was Saturday afternoon?the joyous y ' j holiday of many a New England child ; It |! and as I looked around the simple apartmeat which had an uir of so much comfort that no one could regret the absence of tl ' ottoman, divan, or even centre-table, I t< could not but ask, in silent admiration, what fc is the secret of all the contentment and " happiness which sit on every face? At a I side-table, near the fire, was seated the a mother of a numerous family, advanced si ei-r i L indeed to tlie soLcr yeats otitic, uui un. u wrinkled by care. Two lovely little girls were sitting on low crickets by the side of A a tall, graceful girl of sixteen, the eldest A daughter. Each seemed busily plying i their needles, and 1 soon perceived the il r object of tru ual interest was a doll, tlid si common d; light ol young hearts. One k 1 was hemming a frock, the other a skirt, while sister Jane was bringing into forrr and si symmetry tho various parts necessary to p complete the graceful figure. fa At the other end oftheroom, Caroline, ei the second daughter, was assisting two oth. er, younger sisters in the more difficult j tr process of making needlo books and i | cushions, while the two little boys, of per- [ 6t I hap3 six and four, *ere occupied near her j 1 ?__?_ *? 1. ? m.. I ,i ' with paper, pencil, anu n painiuox. iuj ? j curioaty was now excited to listen to the ci conversation, which, though aniin'it* d, s< was not loud enough to disturb their mother ai in the least. "Caroline will you be so kind as to see if this pattern is even ?" *'Cer? M tainlv, my dear; and now do let mc cut M ! your pasteboard, for it is too hard for your pi I iittle fingers." "Ob ihank you, I can tl ] baste this silk on, it is so nicely cut."? "Caroline, I hive been tryin to make the y trunk of mv tr e striigh*will you please si to fix it a It tie," said Willie, as the paper and pencil were put in the hands of the ai patient girl. It was soon "fixe and a at few directions were given to the little ar'ist. "Oh." exclaimed the lively little Sarah, 4,1 V should like a bit of blue tapo to put on my bcap." "Here is plenty for you," siid Ein. si ma, drawing the very thing that was wanted from her basket. (h I could fill my ppge with expressions of n< similar kindness and love, but it is unn'-ces.. th i sar> There n (?r?mmnn | If thread, or silk or libon, were desired, the 'b benevolent eagerness to oblige was do- b( lightful. Here was active industry, un. he inU rrunted kindness, and the very soul of benevolence. Again I asked, what magic as is thero to spread over these faces such a ; be sunshine of peace and contentment ? 1 in Ti ere sits the mother quietly mending the 1 ha last garment, for it is Saturday night, and | pr tlie work-basket is nearly empty. She has nothing to do to preserve order or promote happiness. There is no fretting or vex a. ha j lion. What a comfortable life she has of It : it f ac Can these daughters, ly a little effort of ki ! disinterested love, produce this beautiful picture? Truly such elder children are or props around the parent tree. ot My fair young friends, this is no fancilul Ei sketch- It,c dr-iwn with the simplicity of mi truth. ! ho MISS BEFORE TEENS' C.LZ3 :.i?qu:g31x, author 0?

The little lovers were completely thro off the track of their tete.ruete ; for it \ evident that the surprise of Helen's mot had arisen from their conversation, and movement had too much meaning in it them to be mistaken. Miss Helen loo! at her mother wi h ;i feurful frown, and I George Kingston shrugged up his should and looked towards his hat. Discretion his part was, doubtless, the better part of lor? For he that lovos and runs awaf. .May livo to lovo another day.

To the Readers of the Ame can Farmer. Many years since, tho undersigned establi t c old American Farmer. Without waitinj a singlo subscriber it was thrown before the lie, in the confidence that tho groatest int< of tho country needed and would give suppo a journal honestly devoted to its benefit, confidoneo wis fu'ly justified by tho result, paper soon obtain?d a wide circulation, am caino tho vehicle for disseminating the discc ies of scientific research, and the results of [ tical experience.

Practical Agriculture, thereforo too much girded as an unintellectual if not vulgar cmjj , rucnt, soon took its just rank at the head of 1 orable put suits. A thirst for dessertations oi various branches ;vas quickly engendered, snrr?fi.i in *nw nn? nf*thorn was ostrtomod a I honor.

Many them aro conducted with an industry that nc tires, and with consummate ability, and at a p to excito wonder how they can live.
