THE FAMILY BIBLE.


How painfully pleasing the fond recollection
of youthful connections and innocent JOY,
When blest with parental advice and affection,
Surrounded with mercies-wth peace from on high,
/ still view the chair of my sire and my mother,
The seats of their offspring ranged on each hand,
And that richest of bDoks which excelPd evry ouAsr--
The family Bible, that lay on the stand.
80 CHORUS.
The old fashioned Bible, the dear blessed Bible,
The family Bible, that lay on the stand.
That Bible, the volume of Gods inspiration,
At morn and at evening could yield us delight. :
And the prayer of our sire was sweet invocation,
For mercy by day, and for safety through night.
Our hymns of thanksgiving with harmony swelling,
All warm from the heart OF a family band, -
Half rasd from earth to that rapturous dwelling,
Described in the Bible, that lay OH the stand.
And that richest of books which excePd evry other
The family Bible, that lay on the stand
YETI scenes of tranquility. long have we parted,
My hopes almost gone, and my parents no mores
In sorrow and sadness live broken hearted,
| And wander unknown, to far distant shore
Yet how can doubt dear Sayiour's projections,
| Forgetful of gifts from his bountiful hand;
Oh let me, with patience, receive his correction,
| And think OF the Bible, tina, lay on the stand
|
And that richest of books which exced ey'ry other
I The family Bible, thatlay on the stand.

There is a man residing in Pottsgrove
township. Penny named Henry Hats

caused by the small pox; he is a very
respectable citizen, and a few years ago
purchased a tract of land, aud now keeps
a public house; he is married and has
several children.-Besides keeping a
public house for livelihood, he makes
baskets of all sizes and descriptions, of a
superior quality. What is most singular
with him, he will 60 alone, as far as six
miles from his home, with his axe, into a
large wood, where he will single out
saplings or small trees, such as will an
swer his purpose for making splits, SC. !;
he will cut them down into such lengths
as will suit; he will then hide his axe in
the leaves or branches he may meet
with, and start off TO neighboring farm
er, employ his Wagon and horses TO haul
bis wood home, and then return and take
his axe from the place where he had
concealed it; this he will do without
living soul near him. This information
we have from persons who have>often
seen him do the like. We ourselves
have repeatedly seen him considerable
distance from home, travelling in the
public road, and asked him if he knew
where he was, and which way he was
going he has always answered cprrect-
ly. His neighbours and acquaittances
he recognizes as soon as spoken q. He
is the best performer on the vblin in
these parts, and can keep the instrument
in as good order as any other person.
He is subscriber of ours, and very often
calls himself at the office, TO receige his

.AFEECTLNG STORY.

Some time ago, a young man took up
his residence in Scottish village, much
celebrated for its delightful situation and
mineral waters. During his stay, he
succeeded in gaining the affections of a
very amiable young girl, daughter of
the person with whom he lodged. He
told her he was younger branch of a
most respectable family in the north of
Scotland, and that, owing to some do
mestic misiortunes, he was then in a
kind of exile from his fathers house al
most without the means of subsistence.
BY this representation, he had the adj
dress to draw money, to a considerable
amount, from the affectionate and trust
ing girl. At length, pretending business
of particular nature called him away,
he took leave, solemnly pledging to re-
turn in few weeks and make her his
wife. About three months after his
departure, letter was delivered to her,
dated from Jail 10 the south OF Scot
land. 1t proved TO be from her lover,
and stated, that, short time after leav-
ing her, he had from necessity contract
ed trifiing debt, which, being unable
TO pay, he had been thrown into prison,
at the same time entreating her, as she
valued his regard, TO relieve him from
situation so unworthy of his family and
prospects. The faithfu! girl, listening on
y TO the dictates of her love, set off i'm
mediately, with all the money she could
procure, to give him liberty-happy in
hasing this opportunity of showing the
strength of her attachment 10 an in
clement season-through country with
which she was unacquainted--weary
and dispirited, she at length reached
the place of her destination with slow
and feeble step she proceeded upwards
IN the principal street leading TO the
market place, but found it impossible to
advance farther, owing TO an immense
crowd of people who had gathered TO-
gether to witness the punishment of a
criminal for some Infringement on the
laws of his country. 10 order TO avoid
the pressure. she. stepped on the stairs
leading to draper's shop, and inyolun
tarily turning her eyes upon the poor
wretch who was writhiDg under the
lash of the merciless executioner, be-
held, with feelings not to be expressed,
the object of her tender soIicitude and
love. Nor was this all. A large pla-
card was placed upon his breast, init
mating that the punishment he was then
suffering was for the crime of theft. A
piercing shrek told the agony of her
bosom to the surrounding multitude, as
in a state of insensibiIity she sank into
the arms of one ofihe by-standers. The
sympathy and care of strangers was not
wanting, but though these recovered her
IRON her swoon, yet reason again new
er dawned on her mind; and, at this mo-
ment, she is to be seen wandering in
her native village, the pity of all who
knew her, and an affecting instance OF
the basest villany triumphing over un-
suspeciing innocence.

RaREWELL

TO THE CASTLES IN THE AIR.
Farewell, my Castles rais'd so high;
Farewell, ye bowers of beauty,
From your enchantment must fly,
To sober paths of duty.
O many an hour could employ,
Thess lovely bowers adjoining,
Till every airy hall of joy
Should seem star of morning.
But go, vain dreams, depart,
Though fondIy lov'd; feel il,
That, while you soothe the heart,
From better things you steal it.
When rose the storms ofgrief and care,
Oflife's uncertain billow,
sought my Castles in the Air,
And found a ready pillow
Here joys to come were always shewn,
The present gift dispelling,
For future woe is all unknown
In my arial dwelling.
The lesson thus was lost,
For which the storm was given,
To show the tempest-tost
Arefuge cure in Heaven.
Here Hope, though cheated DER and DER,
thought would dwell securest,
And deemed, ofall her various store,
Such gift the best and surest.
While fancy, strove with magic glass,
To raise the scene IDEAL,
Still whispered Hope, tho this may pass,
The next will sure be real.
Thus many darling theme
Was forming and undoipg,
And still some brighter dream
Arose upon their ruin.
Thus, in the fields of wild romance,
| tarried for a season,
But, still, at every change and chance,
heard the voice of Reason;
IS Oh, at some holier, happier shrine,
Devote thy thoughts so ranging;
Whose base is truth and love divine,
The fabric never changing.
Thy hopes from youth TO age,
Ifthou viii hither guide them,
Though teppests rise and rage,
Securely may abide them"
] rais'd my eyes from all beneath,
And HOPE stood in the portal,
She held an amaranthine wreath,
And promised life immortal.
fel. the scene before my view
Was more than idle seeming,
And wish and strive to bid adieu
To all my days of dreaming.
Then go, vain dreams, depart,
Though fondly lov'd; feel it,
That, while you soothe the heart,
From better things you steal it.
