HOME.

HOME 'tis the name of all that sweetens life I;
1t speaks the warm affection of a wife.
The lisping babe that prattles on the knee
In all the playful grace of infancy,
The spot where fond parental love may trace
The growing virtues of blooming race
Oh It's word of more than magic spell,
Whose sacred power the wsnderer best can tell;
He who, long distant from his native land,
Feels at her name his eager soul expand:
Whether as patriot, husband, father, friend,
To that dear point his thoughts, his wishes bend.
And still he owns, where'er his footsteps roam,
Lies choicest blessings centre all-Ar HOME.

MISCELLANEOUS.
ANECDOTE-FACT.

A very genteel, impudent-iooking young
man, was seen to enter church 10 time Of
service-he paused at the entrance-the
congregation stared-he advanced few
steps, and deliberately surveying the
whole assembly, commenced slow march
up the broad aisle-not pew was opened
the audience were too busy for civility
he wheeled, and 10 the same manner
performed a march, stepping as if to
Roslin Castle, or the dead march in Saul,
and disappeared. A few moments after,
he re-entered with huge block upon his
shoulders, as heavy as he could we'll
stagger under; bis countenance was i'm
moveable-again the good people stared,
and half rose from their seats, with their
books in their hands. At length he placed
the block 10 the very centre of the prin-
cipal passage, and seated himself upon it..
Then, for the first time, the reproach was
felt! Every pew door in the house was
instantly flung open! But no-the strap
ger was a gentleman-he came not there
for disturbance he moved not-smiIed
not--but preserved the utmost decorum,
until the service was concluded, when he
deliberately shouldered his block, and to
the same slow step, bore ii off, and re-
placed it where he had found ii.

lite and attentive to strangers, Of any ID

lately died in this town, was man of

privateer, last war, which got among the
breakers off Cape Breton, when it became
necessary to cast anchor, but there being
none upon deck, as many hands laid hold
Of one which was in the hold as could get
at it, but could not start il. Dowst push
ed them aside, siezed it himself, brough,
1t upon deck, carried it forward. and held
it upon the timber heads while cable wal
bent to it, when he threw it over, and
saved the vessel and lives Of the crew, a,
they we're then upon the point OF dashins
upon the rocks. The anchor weighed
hundred weight. At another time. eish
or ten hands were sent to Beckers shiI
yard from the well known privateer shil
Grand Turk, to bring up fore yard 70
the ship. Dowst was among them, but
naturally dilatory, he did not at frs
take hold; the others shouldered it, bu
began to stagger under it, and complain

As If themselves were things divine.
No Heaven but family warns the breast,
That beats beneath 'broidered veil;
And she who comes in giittering vest
To mourn her fraiity, still is fra.
Not so the faded form prize,
And love because its bloom gonei
The glory in those sainted eyes
Is all the grace her brow puts on.
And ne'er was beauty's dawn so bright,
So touching as that forms decay,
Which, ike the affairs trembling light,
in holy iustre wears away.
