TO equip in fine style; he took her husbands

good man being absent on coasting voyage to
Nirginia) and with it the powder horn and shot-
bag but the lad thinking the duck and goose
shot not quite the size to kill regulars, his mo-
thcr took a chisel, cut up her pewter spoons, and
hammered them into slugs, and put them into
his bag, and he set off in great earnest, but tlot
he would call one moment and see the pars0n,

serve yotl--and OIL he went i'll the way ct his du-
tv. The youngest was importilnatc for his G.
uuipments, but his mother could find nothing to
arm him with but an old rusty sword the boy
seemed rather unwilling to risk himself with this
alone, but fingered i'll the streets in state of
hesitation, when his mother thus upbraidcd him:
You John Iis''", what will your father say if
he hears that child of his is afraid to meet the
British, 20 along; beg or borrow a gun, or you
will find one, child--some coward, dare say,
will be running away, then take his gun and
march forward, and if you come back, and hear
you have not behaved like a man, shall carry the
blush of shame on my face to the grave" She
then shut the door, wiped the tear from her eye,
and waited the issue; they joined the march.

affection occurred, at this period, every day, il

sed unaltcrable affection for her. He was
an instance, could wish without Il parallel;
for diasihation had bound him in her chains,
and in the thraldom of vice, he could forget
that he had a bosom companion signing IN
his absence for his return, and in his presence
ovcrpowercd by the conflicting emotions, &C
casioncd by the recollection Of former times,
when he was virtues friend, and sic the dar-
ling partner of his happiness.
Can man 50 far forget the dignity Of his
nature, as to give up the government of rcas-
on bestowed upon him by God, and submit to
be led by degrading passions, participated
with brutes Well may it be said, that the
hand which can write it, unless its posscssor
be void of sensibility, must feel the blood
curdle in its veins, and the tongue that can
tell it to the world might stilcn in the act.
Let us console our sad tale. The unior-
tunatc man returned, something incbriated,
at late hour, and found his wife senscless
on the floor. The shock restored him to
himself, though, some half-lost half-recol-
lected images fitted through his bewildcrcd
brain. She was declared to be in raging
fever; medical assistance was i'll vain, for the
disease was one which baiiled all skill, and
in tho short space ola fortnight, she died 6ro-
| ken hearted. Nomurmur escaped her lips a.
gainst the author of her misery, the destroy
or of her happiness, the cause ofhcr unt'me-
lv death. Then it was that he fully awoke
from his dreams; then it was chat every un-
kind word, every ungrateful look, thronsed
back upon him, and narrowed up his soul
then it was that he uttered the unhcard groan
and poured the bitter tear more deep, more
bitter, because unhoard and unava.lng.
| Is there one now who is just beginning tho
career of vice and folly, unaware of the mis-
cry he is bringing upon himself and all con
Injected with him. let him read this and pause;
for it is only on the immutahle basis OF virtue
that we can found our actions, ii we wish tt
weld pleasure to ourselves, to be pleasing
in the sight of our fellow men, or acceptable
to our Creator.

But kindly bear my bones away
To some lone, green, and sunny spot;
Where few shall be the feet that tread
With reckless haste about my grave;
And gently DER my last still bed,

Shall blow and breathe their sweetness there
And all around my grave shall tell,

And those that come because they loved

Shallfnd their anguish half removed,
While that sweet spot shall soothc their wo,
The notes of happy birds alone
Shall there disturb the silent air;
And when the cheerful sun goes down,
His beams shall lnger longest there.

The clock struck eleven. The anxious
terrified, lonely mother shuddcred at the
sound, and with an unconscious energy press
ed her poor babe to her heart, while the large
tear, not without cause, fell, unbidden, from
her swollen, sunken eye, and rested on the
cheek Of the slumbcring innocent.-Where
then was he who had sworn to protect her,
mdby vow registered in heaven, had prom
