MATERNAL AFFECTION.
Extract from a Funeral Sern


What other friend las watched like
her, over the hel >less and uneasy hours
of sickness--borne with its petulence-
ministered to its in6rmities-soothed
its nains-and smoothed its feverish
pillow? Where are the friends Of our
prosperity when "tbe evil days come,
and the years draw nigh, in which We
must say--we have no pleasure in
,hem." When the clouds of Mistor-
tune descend, and poverty and want
overtake us, when the heart is sick with
the unfulhlment Of hope, and the spi-
rit droops over its blasted expectations,
when the cup Of life is empoisnned by
mischance OF guile; when the storms
hath no rainbow, and the midnight hath
no star; WHERE then are the f1atte rers Of
our cloudIess skies and our sunbright
hours? When the schemes Of earthly
ambition fail, and the hiss Of the null
titude follows our downfall; whittier
have they departed? Where is the sha-
dow that attended US, when the sun hes
veiIed his beams? Where are the sum.
mer birds, when the voice of winter
signs in the leafless forests? Alas! it is
but interes, or convenience or habit or
fashion that preserves the friendship

PERIODICAL INFLUENCES UPON THE
CONSTITUTION

|
CONS I'll TUITION
In medical view, the ages OF the
human species seem to be divided into
regular periods. In the first stage the
form begins to appear, and the charac-
ter of the mind to be developers; the
next stage is the period of puberty; the
stage following this, so establishes the
state of the mind and body, that it.con.
stitutes the period Of manhood-and
the man becomes legally exonerated
from servitude and pupilage, and is
not required to assume the responsible
lities, and perform the duties ofa citi-
zen. Other periods are enumerated by
septcnnalsts, and with considerable
propliety, though the doctrine is use
iessly refined, and mixed with numer-
Gus fancies Every age has its disease,
and Hi-pocrates says, that those OF
youth, continuing after puberty, are
difficult to cure In infancy and old
age, many object to the use of medi-
cine; but as in both these stages there
is great m6rmity, SO there is great
scope for the practice and improve
ment of the medical art; neglect lndi-
Gates equal ignorance and humanity
as many disorders may be radically
cured, and others palliated; infancy
may be aided in its progress, and the
infrmi,ies of old age retarded in their
advances. The periods which mostly
influence our constitution, and of'enest
prove fatal, are those Of teethiAg, pu-
berty, and the period between twenty
one and twenty-eight, when the con-
stitution has not yet attained his firm
ness; the time of the cessation Of the
mcnses in women, and the period when
the genera,ive power decays or is lost
in men. On this foundation was estab-
lished by the ancients the visionary
doctrine of characteristics. The condi-
tons most favorable to the pro!onsa-
ton Of life, are those Of cold and dry
countries, moderately fertile, SO as to
require exertion, and the practice of
the wholesome rules Il temperature
and economy.
Ii is remarkable that some families
are favored with the peculiar prl,i!e-
ges Of longevity; while others soon ri
pen and prematurely decay. Those
whose minds and bodies evolve slowly,
are oftener long lived than those who
astonish US by an early vigor, and ener-
ge,c spirit. Early and astonishing
acquisitions Of very young men, in diff
ferent arts and sciences, seldom lead 10
acknowledged excellence in more sd-
vanced age. Sanguine 'emperaments
are said to be generally longer lived
than the bilious or melancholic; but
this leans upon doubtful theory We
~ tall or very short people, seldom, it
is said, reach to a great age; but per-
son rather short than tall, rather thin
than fat, muscular, firm, and with a
full chest, has apparently the fairest
claim to longevity. Az active life with
little uneasincss; a dry, free air; early
hours; mind regularly engaged, but
not exhausted; a cheerful dispositions;
frequent changes from country to town;
diet, regular rather in time than in
quantity, with moderate passions, ard
temperate use Of the good things Of
life, chiefly contribute to Al extended,
healthy old age.

,k;nd. Where are the friends Of

of mankind. Where are the friends OF
this world, when the mouth OF calum
nv has breathed mildew and pestilence
over the promise of our growing repu-
tation-Where are they, when the faint
of worldly dishonor has fallen on our
heads, and shame, whether deserved or
not, has pointed US out for scorn and
mockery? They have gone to worship
the rising sun; and left perhaps their
former benefactor to pine in gloomy
solitude over their ingratilude and 70

"For what is friendship but name,
A charm that lulls to sleep; -.
A shade that follows wealth and fame,
Then leaves the wretch TO weep"
Blu, the attachment Of a mother, no
change of Fortune-no loss OF influence
NOT even the loss Of character can
DESTROY. AS the triumph Of her chill
dren is her own, so is their downfall,
and their dishonor. Her heart bleeds
for them ins,nctively; her tears How
unbidden for their sorrows. Her eye
follows them while present and her soul
goes with them while absent With
patience that never tires, and selidenlal
tina, never ceases, she cheerfully sacri-
fees for them her own comforts and
pleasures Her sympathy is felt; not
obtruded; her consolation is never OIL
fcious, and always soothing TO the spl-
rit; her friendship is unailer.ble in lie
and strong in death; ana she breathes
her last sigh in prayer forthe welfare
of her c iIdrcn.
Remembrance bowers over every IN
cident, in those calm and blissful days.
when her presence gave life its charm:
That affection which turned aside
the arrows of misfortune; that gentle
ness which alleviated the pangs OF dis
tress: that tenderness which smoothed
the pillow Of sickness; that hand which
held the aching head of pain, that piety
and that sanctity which kindled in our
heart the pure flame Of devotion; those
smiles which beamed upon US, and ev-
er the brightest when the world was
frowning; and that unalterable love
which supported us amidst its unkind-
ness and ingratitude, can these ever be
forgotten? Can we call 10 mind without
deep emotion the scenes OF the death
chamber? the beloved face fast fading
at the touch Of dissolution; and the
fond farewell: the fer,ent prayer for us
which ceased but with parting liie?-
Gallons and hardened must be the heart
of that child, who can behold without
powerful emotion the memorials OF a
deceased parent. No. the heart must
swell, and the eye must weep, when we
visit that closet where we conversed
with God togetht:, and find it the ID
bode Of solitude and desolation Of heart;
when We look on the days that are TO
come, and behold the dark current OF
existence strewed with the wreck OF
our broken hopes and r'ined schemes:
and feel that. we must travel in loneli,
ness along the pathway Of being, be-
reft Of those who, by sharing, heighten-
ed our pleasure, and who, by dividing,
alieviated our sorrows.

Save the lone dwellers OF the silent sky,
To gaze upon our love and chaste delight;

When the white moon had rob'd her in her

Or spirit of the air, before me stood,
And held communion with me.-ln mine ear
Her voices sweet notes breath'd not ofthis

Her beauty seem'd not of a mortal birth;
And in mine heart there was an awful fear;
A thrill like some deep warning from above,
That sooth'd its passion to spirits love
She stood before me. the pure lamps OF Hea

Lit up her soft and beaming eyes, which
On me witt, dying fondness.-My heart

As trembingly withhers my VOWS We're gwen;
Then softly 'gainst my bosom heather heart;

thrown,
Binding her heavenly beauty like zones
While from her lips Of ruby. just apart,
Like bursting roses, signs offragrance stole,
And words Of music whispering in NINE ear
Things pure and holy, none but mine should
hear;
For they were accents utter'd from her SOUL
Forwhich no tongue her innocence reProv'a
And breath'd for one who loy'd her, md

"Back to the summer hill again,

And music rose upon the air,

Rode soldiers with their breast-plates glaDcing
Helmets and snow-white feathers dancing,
And trumpets at whose martial sound
Prouder the war-horse trod the ground,
And waved their flag with many name
OF battles and each battle fame,
And As mark ed the gallant line
Pass through the green lanes serpentlne,
And as I saw the boughs give way
Before the crimson pennons' play;
To other days my fancy went,

The dark-eyed maiden, who foryears
Kept the VOWS seaPd by paf9hg tears,
While he who owned her plighted hand
Was fighting in the Holy Land.
The youthful knight with his gay crest,
His lady's scarf upon breast
Whose truth was kept, come life, come death;
Alas! has modern love such faith
Thought how in the moon-Ethour
The minstrel by mn'd his maiden's bower,
His helm and sword changed for the lutte
And one sweet song to urge his suit,
Floated around the moated hall,
And donjon keep, and frownlng wall,
I saw the marshall'd hosts advance,
gazed on banner, brand, and lance;
The murmur of low song came
Bearing the only worship'd name:
And my next song, said, should be
ktale of gone-by chivalry."

The Reverend Spencer II. Conc, an eml'
nent clergyman of the Baptist denomination,
now of New-York and formerly Of this pace,
had lately conferred on him, the degree OF
Doctor of Divinity, by the William College.
In the last New-York Observer, MIR. Cone for
maly renounces the appendage OF d. ID. to
his name and assigns reasons for declining the
honor. Among others, he considers the
whole system of doctorates in divinity as Ia
brio of theological fopPery and dotage, that
does real harm, but no imaginable good-as
a "scarlet" relic Of papacy, that demands re-
trenchment-and, as earthly. and at variance
with the spirit, if not with the very letter OF
the Gospel.
