THE FATHER TO HIS MOTHERLESS

CHILDREN.

Come, gather closer to my side,
My little smitten flock,
And I will tell of him who brought
Pure water from the rock ;
Who boldly led God's people forth
From Egypt's wrath and guile,
And once a cradled babe did float
All helpless on the Nile.

You're weary, precious ones, your eyes
Are wandering far and wide;
Think ye of her who knew so well
Your tender thoughts to guide?
Who could to wisdom's sacred lore

Your fixed attention claim
Ah ! never from your heL
That blessed mother's nail

arts erase

'Tis time to sing your evening hymn,
My youngest infant dove;
Come, press thy velvet cheek to mine,
And learn the lay of love;

ARTS

THE SECRET 01, SUCCESS.—One of the great aids, or
hindrances, to success in anything lies in the tempera-
ment of a man. do not know yours, but I venture to
point out to you what is the best temperament—namely,
a combination of the desponding and the resolute, or, as
I had better express it, of the apprehensive and the reso-
lute. such is the temperament of great commanders.
Secretly, they rely upon nothing and upon nobody.
There is such a powerful element of failure in all human
affairs, that a shrewd man is always saying to himself—
Which shall I do, if that which I count upon does not
come out as I-expect ? This foresight dwarfs and crushes
all but men of great resolution. * * Get, if you can,
into one or other of the main grooves of human affairs.
It is all the difference of going by railway, and walking
over a ploughed field, whether you adopt common courses,
or set up one for yourself. You will see, if your times
are anything like ours, most inferior persons highly placed
in the army, in the church, in office, at the bar. They
have somehow got upon the line, and have moved on well
with very little original motive of their own. Do not let
this make you talk as if merit were utterly neglected in
these or any profession ; only that getting well into the
groove will frequently do instead of any great excellence.
—Companions of my Solitude.
FEMAS.E EnucarioN.—lt has often occurred to us,
that amongst the many serious defects of our educational
and social systems, the manner in which our ladies are
brought up is one of the most lamentable. What used to
be called " accomplishments" may be considered at best
as only supplying a certain sort of brilliant way of wasting
time, when they-are not associated with some usual pur-
suits. To be merely an accomplished lady, in the vulgar
sense, is to be a person carefully trained up to a life of
idleness—a state of existence full of dangers and tempta-
tions even to men, but of especial hazard to women. The
great deficiency in the education of women of the middle
and higher classes is, that their faculties of usefulness are
not brought out—that they are not given a direct interest

in any of the affairs of life, which their capacities, habits,
and opportunities might enable them to cultivate with
advantage. Men, however independent in fortune, have

_ n occupation of some sort provided for them and
enforced upon them by their position—estates to manage,
local duties to discharge, and a hundred other responsi-
bilities. But women have no occupation. This is an evil
of great magnitude. There sits that young wife all day
long, pampered in luxuries, with every want supplied ex-
cept that aching vacancy, first in her brain, and then,
perhaps, in her heart, which grows upon her, and widens,
and becomes more dresry day after day, as pillowed in her
drawing-room, she sits through the long lazy sunshine,
glad of any face or voice that breaks the dulness, and
helps her to something to do or to think of. Her hands
are idle—her head is idle— her heart is unoccupied ; but if
this continue, they will all find employment by and by !
Now, here is the terrible issue to be guarded against.

Give a woman an occupation proper to her sex and -sphere
and the sunshine will pass over her from day to day, and
bring with it, not fearful suggestions and agitating
thoughts, but peace and gladness. If we consider the na-
ture of the intellect of

son for the restr

)men, we really can see no rea-
ions laid upon them in the choice of
ley possess talents of all kinds. Go-
nt, to be sure, is a thing not fit for them, their
coming often in the way of justice. Di-

fond prejudic

recticM, also, they would want, not having the same power,
I think, of imagination that men have, nor the same me-
thod, as I observed before. But how well might women
work under direction ! In how many ways, where tact
order alone are required, they might be employed ; and
also in how many higher ways, where talent is required.—
