POETRY.
The Mothers Morning Kiss to her Child.

The Mothers Morning Kiss to her Child.
COME hither, my fair child, and let me kiss
Thy rosy lips, steep'd in their morning dew;
And on thy brightness gazing, taste that bliss
q mother feels, when on her raptur'd view
Each beauty riper grows. The graceful hue
OF health sits blushing on thy tender check,
And in the azure of thine eyes soft blue
Float forms Of joy, such as hope to seek
In all thy future days: hope how frail and
weak.
All no!-the current of thy afteryears
Can never flow so pure as at its spring
But in its silent progress downwards, tears
Win mingle too, and all their NORWOOD
bring.
trembling think afiction's deepest sting
May pierce thy soul, when she, around whose
form
Thy little armssin playful fondness cling
Can offer thee no more her bosom warm
To solace all thy woes, and shield thee from
the storm. >
That rose--queen Of the blooming coacnal
OF wild flowers, waving inthy golden hair
Behold how soon its robes of damask fall,
And cease to shed their perfume on the air.
Leaving the parent tendril lone and bare /!
Alas the ills which wait thee in ife's scene
May in that flower their darken'd emblems
bear,
When blighted hopes of joy, with pangs un-
seen,
Blanch Thy young virgin cheek, and steal its
ripen'd sheen
My yeamins heart, in melancholy mood,
Itself with fancied agony is rending.
Let me no longer DER such frenzies brood,
But watch thee, my sweet love, whilst lowly
bending,
Thou spest forth thy morning prayer-and
blending
With thy bright upward glance such radiance
mid,
Ii seems as f IN thee from heav'n descend
ing
(Fair IRIS of my lise) an angel smil'd,
And whispered peace, and joy-O. thou art
safe. my child

pfre. 4 genius IKE her, and so direct
ed, is, as her biographer has well re-
marked, the only Missionary than can
work any permanent effect on the up
per classes of society in modern times ;
upon the vain, the learned, the scornful
and argumentatiye, who stone the
prophets, while they affect to offer in
cense to the Muses.
If you take friend, you must take
him with those frailties which are COM
mon to hgmanity, and from which he
will not be, fully delivered till mortality
is swallowedup of life. The most cor
rect understanding has its prejudices
the finest temper its irregularities; and
in friendship certain strength of, mind
is necessary to rise above the mere ac-
cidents of character, and to settle on
those exceliencies which ave unaffected
|, by circumstances, with undoubting as
Surance.
Those persons who can really iniure
the feelings Of friend, to purchase
that excitement which accompanies rec
anciliation, have not the primary quail
ifcations for friendship. Friction may
be necessary to give warmth to heart
less coalition; but u fritters away the
fine sensibilities of friendship
There is, perhaps, no time at which
we are disposed to think SO highly of a
| friend, as when we find him standing
higher than we expected in the esteem
of others. ---
I Well constructed miads are never
more sensible of the distresses of those
whom they love, than when their own
situation forms contrast with theirs.
Let US not exult unnecessarily oyer
human deficiencies. The more we
know of our own defects, the more can.
did shall we become towards those Of
others-and certainly good mind will
always regard them rather with sorrow
than contempt. Let US also consider
that /" the thousands" with whom we
have but little sympathy, may often bt
prepared by the wisdom of Providence
for other friendships and, in diferen
sphere to ours, may fill their station witt
equal, perhaps with SUPERIOR proprie
ty. On nothing is mistake SO general a
on character
Those truths, which from their deeI
importance are more obvious, hav'
, more of the vitality of religion, and in
fiuence practice more than those alb
; truse points, which unhappiIy split the re
Eoinns SRarld into 90 many narties

Las of the Road-A case was tried in
this town, on Thursday, before Justice
Prince, under-a late law of our Legisla-
ture, providing that persons travelling
in wagons and other vehicles, when
they meet in the road shall turn to the
right, aud give to each other half the
road. The complaint was made by
gentleman of this town, who, on passing
through Beverly, in chase, on Tues
day last, came in contact with loaded
wagon. The wheels were locked,
but the chaise was extricated with tri-
fling damage. 1t appeared that the
teamster had not sufficiently turned out
to allow half the road for the chaise to
pass, and he was accordingly sentenced
