God Bless You.
How sweetly fell those simple words
Upon the liumau heart,
When friends long bound by strongest ties
Are doomed by fntc to part.
You sadly press the hnnds of those,
"Who thus in love caress you,
And soul responsive beats to soul.
In breathing out "God bices you."
"God bless you !" nh ! long long months ngo
1 hcryd the mournful phrase,
!Wlien one whom I in childhood loved
f Went from my dreamy gaz?.
Now blinding tears flow thick nnd fast,
I mourn my long loet treasure
"\Vhilo echoes of the henrt bring back
The farewell ]>rayer "God bless you."
The mother sending forth her boy
To scenes untried and new,
i^jis nob a sunned stately speech,
Nor murmurs out "adieu."
She sadly ???} s between her sobs,
AVhcncVr misfortunes press you
Come to thy mother?boy, come hack,
Then Badly sighs '"CJod bless you
God bless 3*011.!" more of love expresses
Than volumes without number I
Reveal we thus our tru*t in llim,
Whose eyelida never slumber.
I ask in parting no long speech,
Drawled out in studied mea^uro,
I onty a?k the dear ol?l words,
So sweet?so sad?"(Jod blerfs you."

Female Beauty.
"Dean Swift proposed to tax female beau- \
(y, and to leave every lady to rate her own
charms. He said the tax would be cheerfully
paid, and very productive."
"Fontenolle thus daintily compliments
tlie sex, when ho compares women and
clocks?the latter serve to point out the
hours, the former to make us forget them."
"The standards of beauty in woman vary
with those of tasto. Socrates calls beauty
a short-lived tyranny ; Plato, n privilege of
nature : Theophrastus, a silent cheat; j
Theocritus, a delightful prejudice ; Caruea- i
des, a solitary kingdom ; and Aristotle affirmed
that it was better than all the letters
of recommendation iu the world."
"With the modern Greeks and other nations
on the shores of the Mediterranean
corpulency is the perfection of form in woman
; and thoBe very attributes which dis- ;
gust the western European, from the attrac- j

common nnd admired shape of his countrywoman,
that Rubens in bis pictures delights
so much in a vulgar and odiou6 plumpness
; when his master was desirous to represent
the "beautiful," he had no idea of
beauty under two hundred weight. His
very Graces arc all fat. But it should be
remembered that all his models were Dutch
women. The hair is a beautiful ornament
of woman, but it has always been a dispu- |
ted point which color most becomes it.
Wo account red hair an abomination ;
butin tho time ofElizabeth it found admirers,
and was in fashion. Mary of Scotland,
though she had exquisite hair of her own,
wore red fronts. Cleopatra was red-haired; J
and the Venetian ladies to this day counter- j
feit yellow hair."
"After all that may he said or sung about
it, beauty is an undeniable fact, and its endowment
not to be disparaged. Sydney
Smith gives some good advice on the subject.
Never teach fulsome morality. How
exquisitely absurd to teach a girl that beauty
ii^of no value, /Iress ofjio use! Beauty
is of valu^-ber whole prospects and happioe^j'urljfii
may often depend upon a
^?ew"gow? or becoming bonnet ; if she has !

The Quaker's Corn Crib.
A man had been in (lie habit of stealing ;
corn from bis neighbor, who was a Quaker. j
. I
Every night he would go softly to the crib!
and iill his bag with tho car8 which the ;
good old Quaker's toil bad placed there. ,
I Every morning the olil gentleman observed j
| a diminution of his corn piles. This was j
I very annoying, and must bo stopped?but j

j and fire.'' Others would have said, "Catch
the villian, and have him sent to jail."
j But the Quaker was not prepared to enj
ter into any such severe measures. He
wanted to punish the offender, aud at the j
j same time bring about bis reformation, if J
i possible. So bo fixed a sort of trap close j
i to the hole, through which the man would i
...
! thrust bis arm in getting the corn. I,
The wicked neighbor proceeded on bis ',
| unholy errand at the hour of midnight, with j .
! bag in band.?Unsuspectingly be tlirust his 1 <
I hand into the crib to seize nti our ?lmn
j lo ! lie found himself unable to withdraw j .
lit! In vain he tugged, and pulled, and!
sweated, atid alternately cried and cursed, j ,
: His hand was fast, and every effort to rc- j ,
; lease it only made it the more secure. Af- j ,
ler a while the tumult in his breast mcasur- j
| ably subsided. lie gave over his useless ',
I struggles, and began lo look around.? All
; was silence and repose. Good men were , |
i sleeping comfortably in their beds, while lie : ,
j was compelled to keep a dreary, disgraceful j j
watch through the remainder of that long! I
! and tedious night, his hand in constant j']
| pain from the pressure of the clamp which ; [
j livid it. His tired limbs compelled him to j ;i
j sustain his weary body, would fain have '
sunk beneath him, and the weary eyes : i
: I
would have closed in f?lnmb?r, but lo ! 1
there was no rest, no sleep for him. There t
lie must stand watch the progress of the t
nichf, and at once desired and dreaded tho ; s
return of morning. Morning eamo at last, ! s
and the Quaker looked out of his window i
and found ho had "caught his man." fi
AY hat was to he done ? Some would 1 a
say, "Go out and give him a cowhiding, | o
just as he stands, and then release him ; ; <]
that'll cure him." But not so, said the ; a
Quaker. Such a course would have sent ; p
the man away embittered, and muttering ; lj
curses of revenge. The good uian hurried !
on liis clothes, and started at once to the J e
relief and punishment of his prisoner. I t
"Good morning, friend," said lie, as lie j li
came in speaking distance, "Ilow does tliee j t
do ?" I 1,
"The poor culprit made no answer, but j d
burst into tears. I t
"O Go !" aaid the Quaker, as he proceed- j i
cd to release him. "I'm sorry that thee j v
has got thy band fast. Thee put in the i n
wrong place, or it would not have been so.'' j r.
The man heked crestfallen, and begging . ']
forgiveness, hastily turned to make his re- a
treat. "Stay," said his prosecutor, for he fc
was now becoming such to the offender, v
who could have received a blow with much ]
better grace than the kind words that were |j
falling from the Quaker's lips ; "slay, friend
tby bag is not filled. Thee needs corn, or j,
thee would not have taken so much pains 0
to get it. Como, let us fill it." (And the j]
poor fellow was obliged to stand and hold r
the beg while the old man filled it, inter- | a
spereing the exercises with the pleasantest j
conversation imaginable?all of which were i c
like daggers in the heart of his chagrined ! ^
and mortified victim.) The bag was soon j f,
filled, the 6tring tied, and the sufferer hoped | ??
soon to be out of the presence of his tor- i
mentor, but again the purpose was thwart- | c
ed. 1 t<
' Stay," said the Quaker, as the man . ^
was about to hurry off, having muttered i j,
once more his apologies and thanks, "Stay, ! t|
Ruth has breakfast ere this ; theo must j e
not think ofgoing without breakfast. Coine, j w
Ruth is calling." j v
This was almost unendurable. Tbir, was 1 u
"heaping coals" with a vengcncc. In vain j
the mortified neighbor begged to bo exeus- \ 8,

what would be to liini n punishment. The ; v
Quaker was inexorable, and he was obliged j,
to yield. ll
Breakfast over, "now," said the old far- n
mer, as ho helped the victim to shoulder s<
the bag, "If thee needs any moro corn, |j
come in the day,time, and thee shall have j,
it." c
With what shnme and remorse did that e
guilty man turn from the dwelling of tho ?
pious Quaker,?Everybody is lo Bi,y t'?nt tl
he never again troubled the Quaker's corn I

that to tell you. He at once repented and

A u
Salient Points in Childhood.
!
The first feature in childhood that strikes
me is its "itnpressibleness." What a eontrast
is there in this respect between tho
child and the man ! Take a person of fifty
years of age, and strive to all'ect him, ami
tho task is a very difiienlt one. lie is accustomed
to tho sound of solemn sermons,
' J
and the shock of startling providences. 11 is ;
heart is a high road, over which foryuars;
thoughts of every kind have been rapidly !
coursing each other. Each of these thoughts,
like busy travellers, has contributed something
to the hardening process; until at
last the surface of tho road has become so ;
worn, that although it is crossed by a thou- !
catul stops, an impression is not left by one. j
The child's heart is a yielding surface. It i
beats promptly at the voice of persuasion or !
uf warning; it is easily moved to sympathy,
easily wrought upon by fear. It resembles
'i young sapling, which glows in the sunshine;,
quivers in the breeze, bends before i
dio huriieane, yields to the torrent. T.ike !
n fovv instanecsof its plastic character.!
What a sensation of wonder is produced
upon a child's mind by his first visit to the .
ijreat metropolis! Its mazy streets, it*.
iiHver-cnding list of houses an I churelies, '
ts museums and palaces, its, busy swarm
>f carriages and cattle, men, women and .
In lit roll nnlihit. tin.l il""-*" it""
?" -?ll"- iin?j;- ;
eave upon tlie youthful mind an impression
>f bewilderment and almost ??f awe. An
idtdt regards Loudon as simply an assem- ]
ilage of houses, and streets, and people. |
riie houses are of the satin* matoruvl as iIn* ;
louses of Hampshire or Kssex. The street* ;
ire similar in llieir construction to the streets j
if Hertford or Cambridge. In tlie metro>olis
lie hcc5 in an assembled centre precise- j
y what he sees in tlie coii'itry in scatter" '!
lusters. He looks upon the inhabitants of
he city as simply men and women; posessing
the Fame organs, ami moved by the
aine impulses, as their provincial brethren,
hough the habitual friction which results '
ioiii companionship. A child does n>>!
nalvze; he look* upon the thing in its ag;regate
; he sees in it something which is
liferent to anything else that he has seen;
nd he moves on, like Aladdin in his fairv
alace, with feelings of admiration and de- |
amazement and awe.
. 1
llis whole earthly life is dotted over wu.i i
vents which ho never forget-, llis father 1
caches him one of Watt's hymns, or tna kes j
titn learn the 11 Oth Psalm. Those acouisi- j
ions abide, while similar ones made in manlood
depart. Jlis mother lakes him one
lay into her chamber, and speaks to him of
he evil of revenge; reproves him for .strik- l
ng his elder sister, or nicknaming the scr- j
ant. She kneels with him in prayer, and '
isks pardon for his sins and for her sins, '
;raee for his infirtnies and for her own.
.'he scene, tlie circumstances, tlio effids, i
re remembered, though years have gone :
iy, as vividly as if they occurred yesterday, '<
ihilo of the events of yesterday, intrinsieal- ;
I*, perhaps inorc important, it would really J
ie difTicult to give a connected account.
If childhood be thus impressible, howimorlant
it is that tlio impressions, produced
n it should be good ones, impressions on
lie side of God and holiness, truth and up
igmness. 11 16 hard to unlearn, ami esnicilly
to unlearn evil.
Imitativeuess is another characteristic of
hildhood. Children do as their elders do.
Iv readers will remember the engraving so
equently exhibited in shop windows,
Now I'm grandpapa" It is just the pic- j
>rial embodiment of the impulses <?f every
hild. To be grandpapa, to grasp his s( air,'
i &it in his easy chair, tocon with wrinkled
row the paper lie delights to con, to speak ;
l his tones and to mimic his gait, is one of'
ie earliest efforts and impulses of the child, :
veil of the little child, whose faltering steps j
rill scarcely bear him across the room, and j
nose lisping voice is scarcely able to artic- j
late a single sentence \vlii?*li is intelligible.
When ho g*.>ts a little oMer, he goes to j
shool. IIow unconsciously he picks up j
tie tones and tastes which are there pit- j
alent! What a transcript of his master's
and writing is his own ! llow little aware
lint master is that h? is multiplying himself
pon the world, as he dismisses form his
L-liool successive generations. A parentSf
fe is his child's copy. A teacher's life is 1
is pupil's copy. A sovereign's life is to a
ortain extent, her subjects' copy. Influ- ,
nces go downward and upward; and
dierever years, or station, or power support '
lose downward going influences of which '
speak, they will becomo mighty agents in '
lie modification of human character. j

Swimming.
Til Connor years wo liavo several times
called the attention of our leaders to the !
importance of teaching j'ounjj persons of'
both sexes how to swim. Upon this subwfi
find in the York Courier owl
/'Jin/iiirer the following sensible remar ks : ?
The season for yachting stud boat ing and
bathing is upon us, and almost every day i
brin<? new cases of death bv drowning. In
nine eases out of ton these death occur from ;
sheer inability to swim. It is an inability .
which every civilized man or boy ought to '
be a*hamed. lively child who can learn
to walk, can learn to swim; and so far sis'
the preservation of life is concerned, the
latter is quite as important as the former? <
in fact, more so. There are very few who,
in the course of their earthly experiences,
do not. at some period find themselves///
i/itiiifir of being east into water beyond their !
depth ; and every man should be prepared I
for Fiieli an emergency, for his very life i
may depend npon it. In most barbarous j
countries, infants are taught to swim as in- |
variably and natuially as they are taught i
to walk. The young: mollicr lakes to the
river side her babv of a few month old, lies
iicr girdle round it, and lots it play in the
water, and find its own way of balancing
itself, and moving from point to point, so
that many a child can swim before it is j
steady on its feel on dry land. Tn such a ;
country ns Kgypt, where tlio water is the
great highway, and there are no bridges, j
land and water are all one to the natives.!
The most Irifiing cause or whim launches]
a child of any age into the water, with or j
without its palm log or bunch of grass.? i
K very body there crosses the river or canal !
ns we c.ross the road or common. We know j
what feats of diving the people in Malta
will do for the smallest coin ; and that in '
wild regions where those people live whom
we call savages, land and water are as common
to the human inhabitants us the earth?nd
air lo the birds. 4.
How is it with us meanwhile? There!
*re hundreds of young men wlio walk Broad
way with ail the pride of manhood, who
would be no mutch for even kiltcnhood in
iho water?who know no more about the
irt of striking out there, and moving from
place to place than an unborn babe. We
ire apt to longings to fly ; and everybody
wlio dreams at all, dreams of flying. But
who can say, after all whether, if wo had
wings, a quarter of our number would use
them ? Birds have wings and yet have to
'earn to fly. Tliq majority of civilized men,
ive think, would hardly take the trouble.
\t all events they have four limbs and don't
swim, nnd we don't know why the serial
ihould be more attractive than the aqueous
dement.' There are parents who lire restees
till there children are vaccinated. And
vholly supine about securing them Against,
he risk of drowning?in this regard negccting
a parental duty which a Hindoo
nother, or. a red {udian attends tn
ailhfully. Thofcfi is great-need for impri^Tiunt
hero. ^The levy which death makes
>very summer day as a penalty for approachng
theis as unnecessary as-it is cruel,
Ml it A^ht to be abolished. Our coronor'a
fl^fests pronounce the verdict of "acciden^death
in. th'csa. cases, but a death which
iVmes from so preventable,a causo can liardy
be-ealled accidently?it should be called
ather'-tke'T^snlt of culpable ignorance;,
