MATERNAL AFFECTION.

One morning (sad an old shepherd at Fresh
water) as was looking for strayed eve, came
up with some birh .catchers They presently
prepared their tackle, and went down the cliffs,
and left behind the wife of one Of them, to shift
the ropes, and do such offices as the nature OF
their business demanded That she might the
better attend to her charge, the woman had pla-
ced beneath her cloak, at small distance, a
sleeping boy, about twelve months old, and think
ing all was safe applied herself to the stake,
when looking round, to her great establishment.
the child had crept from beneath tine covering,
and had wantonly reached the verge of the chiti,
at least eight hundred feet from the sea, anG
wanted but a few inches more to sink into eer-
nity Alarmed at his tremendous situation, the
mother stood like fixed oak, but spoke not. To
rush forward was TO destroy her playful boy.
What could she dol Heaven inspired her with
the sudden thought-she barred her breast, and

source. Stretched his little arms, and smiling
hast encd to the fountain of his life and health
while the eager mother, in speechless enjoyment
| first hugged him to her breast; then bore him
from the reach of danger, and still retired some
PAGES further back, but only to fall and faint
overcome with the swift returning ecstacy!

SABBATH MORNING.


"How amiable are thy Tabernacles, y Lord of
Hosts 70
My heart assents to this acknowledge
ment from repeated experience. For eve
ry thing conspires to render them amia-
BILE. There fellow worshipers delightful
ly blend their prayer and praise; there
God has promised to meet the spirit of de-
votion; there the starving mind often OBJ
tans sweet refreshment after a thirsty
tour in the wilderness; and there the wea-
ry pilgrim is reminded of that Sabbath
which shall never have termination. Is
it any wonder that such exalted pleasures
should quicken the appetite for their re-
turn. "My soul longeth, yea fainteth for
the courts of the Lord.-My heart and my
flesh creth out for the living God" What
my mouth eagerly expresses, my heart as
earnestly dictates. When persecution,
sickness, or the common engagements OF
life call me away, envy even the uncon-
cious bird that builds its nest contiguous
to thy tabernacle: Yea, the sparrow hath
found house, and the swallow nest for
herself where she mayilay her young, even
thine altar, o Lord of hosts, my king and
my Cod" Blessed are they that dwell ii
thy house they will be still praising thee;'
and this employment is so grateful to my
soul, that wish thus to abide in those de
voted walls, like the Priests and Levite
in the temple, to perform an uninterrupted
service; {" For blessed is the man whos'
strength is in thee; in whose heart are thu
ways of them: who passing through tb
valley of Baca, make it a well; the rail
also fiIleth the pools. They go fror
strength to strength, every one OF them il
Zion, appeareth before God" Thus ma
have strength to perform the service; S
be my heart disposed to thy ways, tina
every valley of weeping in the way to thin
house, may be passed with pleasure. an
may account no difficulties too grca
and no trouble too irksome, in performin
my delightful obligations to thee. Ii
showers of divine influences distil as tn
rain, and all the graces of my soul i
quickened, that may run in the wa
of thy commandments, and hasten m
peace in complying with thy heavenly vii
So that from thy courts below, ! may
removed with joy to thy courts abov
where all spiritual worshippers shall final
meet to praise thee in one grand assemb
forever. o thou who art the suprcu
Lord of that immoveable multitude, a
power is in thine hand to grant every p
tition and as the covenant God Of lsra

Still dwelling in my Highland cave,
Or roaming thro' the dusky wild,
Or bounding DER the dark blue wave

Which loves the mountains craEgy side,

Once beheld splendid dream,
y visionary scene of bliss;
Truth wherefore did thy heated beam
Awake me to world like this
loyed-but those 10, ed are gone;
Had frends-my early friends are dead;
How cheeress Ieels the heart alone,
When all its former hopes are fled.
Though gay companions o'er the bowl
Dispel awhile the sense of i'll,
Though pleasure stirs the maddening soul,
The heart, the heart is lonely still.
How dull to hear the voice of those
Whom rank, Or chance, whom wealth or powc
Have made, though neither friends nor foes,
Associates the festive hour.
Tive me again faithful few,

And would fly the midnight crew,
Where bosterous mirlh is but name,
fain would fly the haunts of Men,
