MISCELLANY.

FAMILY SCENE.

"Jast as the tlcig is bent, The trees inclin'd."
A father, while attempting to punish
a disobedient and refractory son, was
thus accosted by the lad So Daddy,o
says he, (pointing to the sturdy oak
that grew near the house,) " look TO
yonder tree, and receive Instruction
Once it was tender twig, capable of
being bent according TO the will of its
owner. Now it has become so firmly
rooted and stocked, as to defy the COM
paratiVely nerVeless arm of man to
move or shake it.o From this we
would infer that the will of child is
much more easily broken and properly
subdued in its infancy, that when it is
confirmed in vicious habits. II is for
the want of early discipline, and ami
form government, that children are SO
troublesome and refractory.
To substaniate this idea, permit me to
record circumstance which has fallen
under the writer's notice. happened,
not long since, TO call at certain neigh
bour's for the purpose of friendly con-
versation; when, on a sudden. half
dozen boys and girls rushed into the
room, and with boisterous sound of
words and loud laughter, confused and
almost drowned our conversation. The
father redeemed with seeming resent
nent, and said in a soft tone, $ Don't,
my children, be so noisyD He might as
well have been silent; for they had been
too long acquainted with his irresoIute
and unsteady government, to pay the
least attention to what was said. They
continued their noise, till one, little
out of breath, drew off from the rest to
listen to story his father was relating.
Presently he bawled out" Father, you
don't tell the story right" "But do
you not know, my son, it is not good
manners TO interrupt your father, when
talkingr p "But | vow, father, you don't
tell the story as | heard it," His ia

.4fectiag .4aecdote -At the Anniyer-
sary Meeting of the Southampton Aux
iliary Bible Society, on Thursday, the
Rev. Leigh Richmond related to the
meeting the following Anecdote BY
sudden burst of water into one OF tire
Newcastle Galleries, So men and Al
lads were driven into a distant part of
the pit, from which there was no pos
sibility of return, until the water should
have been drawn OF. While this was
being effected, though all possible means
were used, the whole number gradually
died from starving or from sutfocation.
When the bodies were drawn up from
the pit, seven Of the youths were dis
covered in a cavern separate from the
rest. Among these was one OF pecu-
liarly moral and religious habits, W hose
daily reading Of the sacred Scriptures
to bis widowed mother, when he came
up from his labour, had formed the So
lace Of her lonely condition. After
his funeral, sympathizing friend of the
neglected poor went TO visit her and
while the mother showed him, as the
reIick of her son, his Bible, worn and
soiled with constant Perssal, he hap
pened to cast his eyes OH candle box,
with which, as miner, he had been
furnished, and which had been brought
up from the pit with him; and there
he discovered the following affecting
record of the filial affection and stead
fast piety of the youth. In the dark
ness of the suifoca,ng pit, wit: bit Of
pointed iron, he had engraved on the
box his last message to his mother in
these words -" Fret not, my dear
mother; for we were singing and prais-
ing God, while we had time. Mother,
follow God more than ever | did. Jo-
seph. be agood lad to God and mother"
Mr.. Richmond produced the box which
he had borrowed of the widow, under
asolemn promise of returning a relicl1

the FIRE.
Dinner was soon ready, and another
scene of Irregularities now opened
The children scampered and huddled
around the table, like so many hungry
pigs. Each one began to help himself
before the duties of the table was at
tended to. They cut and slashed,
crowded and differed till the pie was
brought to the table; when one called
out with authority, S Mother, give me
great piece. p" Sam said another)

and away went his to the floor. 80,

dren always act worse when we have
company than at any other time. They
act worse than ever knew them to-day"
These, said to myself, as departed
from the house, are the effects of indul-
gence, and a slack, unsteady govern
ment This conclusion was confirmed
by friend met, who was well ac-
quainted with their mode of family gov
eminent. He informed me, that when
this neighbour threatened TO whip his
children, ne seldom kept his word, or
if he attempted it, it was when they
least deserved it; or his wife would in
terfere and rescue them out of his hand.
She rarely allowed him to punish and
as for herself, she usually began with
the rod, and ended by giving sugar or
pie to appease their almost incessant
bawling. What the father denied, the
mother gave, and thus destroyed the
face of their authority--Stop reader
(f you are parent of children,) and
compare the conduct of yourself and
yours with the fore mentioned Do YOU
not threaten and threaten your children,
and promise TO punish them for trans
gressions, and habitpally break your
word ? and in consequence of this, are
not your commands violated with impu-
nifty, your troubles increased, and your
children strengthened in disobedience ?
or when you do fulfil your promise, do
you not completely destroy lis effects
by giving sugar and pie TO stop its cry
ing ? lin any ofthese respects You find
yourself implicated, let me beseech
you to commence a reformation. Do
not destroy your children by indulgence
Begin this very hour new course,
and its happy effects viii not only be
greatly realized by you, but your chill
dren viii reap lasting benefits there
from, and perhaps through this instru-
mentality, will escape destruction, and
be made partakers of eternal life.

POETRY.
a The Worlds Dread Laugh"
gS.Ae

OH We that trenble with misguided shame,
And shrink from virtue lest the proud should
blame,
Forsake your God, renounce religions cause,
For empty honours and a false applause
Ye coward race, who like the plant tools
OF impious fashions, and deceiving fools
Oh! ponder yet--invoke your fellow slaves,
Now slumbering silent in their narrow graves,
And bid them tell you--in that awful hour,
When faded life, and fame, and pomp, and
power,
When burst the spirit from each earthly bound,
And fed to judgment-,chich that spirit found,
'Twere best to see if man would be forgiven,
The Worlds dread laughter, or the frozen Of
Heeren ?

When all was lonely. still and dreary;
And long I've sought to sell them here
TO purchase clothes, and food, and dwelling,

All those who tread llfe's thornless way,
In fortunes golden sunshine baskng,
May deem my wants require no aid,
Because my lips are mute. unaskiDgi
They have heart Tor woes like mine,
Each word, each look, is cold-repelling,
Yet once crowd oil flatterers fawned
And fortune smiled on me and Ellen!
Oh buy my flowers. they're fair and fresh
As NINE ana mornings tears could keep them
To-mortow's sun shall see them dead,
And shall scarcely live TO weep them
Yet this sweet bud, il nursed with care
Soon into funess would be swelling;
And nurtured by some gene Gus hand,
So might my little sister Ellen
She's sleeping in the hollow tree,
Her only home-lts leaves her bedding;
And I've no food to carry there,
To sooihe the tears she will be shedding;
Oh that these nourner's tears that fall
That bell which heavily is knelling
And that deep grave were mea. or me,
And my poor little sister Elem
When we in silence are laid down,
In lifes last fearless, blessed weeping,
No tears will fall upon our grave
Save those of plying heavens own weeping;
Unknown we've lived unknown must die,
No tongue the nourniuI tale be telling,
Oftwo young broken hearted girls
Poor Mary and her sisler Ellen!
No one has bought of me to Cay,
And nigh. is now the town o'ershading,
And like these poor dropping flowers,
