THE PIANO

As the las: thrilling notes Of Home, slceet home
hoated round the dear circle, in which were con-
centrated little world, or little knot of beings
who were all the world to each other, audible sob
broke the enchantment which this touching little
song. accompanied by the sweet voice of my young
friend, had cast around me. II burst from the bo-
som of one who had been severely disciplined in
the school Of adyersity-one who beheld the wreck
Of all her youthful hopes, without one murmuring
word against the God who guides the storm-but
now the sudden reflection that she heard, Tor the
last time, the soft melody of her beloved daughters
voice, accompanying the melting tones of her pia-
no-saw, for the last time, her fingers sweep the
speaking keys--beheld her youthful face closing
with animation and happiness, unconscious of the
blow that awaited her, sigh involuntarily escaped
her, and the starting tear told of sudden anguish.
She turned to me, and said in low voice, " wish
could have saved Amelia's pano-t will break
her heart to part with 1t. Poor thing, she little
thinks that she will more sing and play to charm
AWAY my melancholy"
The unconscious girl closed the instrument, and
remarked, Did you observe, dear mamma. that my
piano wants tuning and you will allow Mr.. N. to
come and tune it o-morrow?'
A tear stole down the cheeks OF my respected
friend.
sAre ycu i'll, my dear mother?' inquired Amelia,
or has any thing occurred to distress you? II
so do not hide it from me for rest assured, no de-
privation, no exertion, no suffering can afct me
like seeing you unhappy. have just been think
ing as soun my piano is tuned, will beg Mrs.

THE GRAVE YARD.
From ale Connecticut lIirror.

From the Connecticut .Hirror.
IT'S morning on the sunny sod,
Where lingering footsteps late have trod
IT'S morning on the melting snow,
That shrouds the graves of those below;
'ris morning to each sprouting thing,
That greenly smiles because 'tis Spring
Ills morning on the marble stones,
That designate their owners bones;
IT'S morning to the young and fair,
That walk and laugh, and loiter there.
Above let Spring in brightness glow,
A brighter morning smiles below.
There is beam that breaks upon
The lone forsaken buried one;
And clearer than that dawning ray,
Which gives the first sweet light of day,
Sheds on the Christians soul light
To which the MONDAY sun is night;
And shows the path his Saviour trod,
When, rising, he returned to God.

WISDOM.

Her ways of pleasantucss and all her paths
peace.-E,ou. III II.
That wisdom which leads young people to seek
the knowledge and love of God, and to walk in the
ways Of practical piety, is the principal thing. The
happiness it affords should lead them diligence in
seeking it. The thong htless and dssipated discoy
Ter no beauty, no loneliness in the way OF piety;
although its ways, ways of pleasan,ness and its
paths are peace The practice of pieiy conduces
to health OF body, to peace of mind to social com
fort and it adds loveliDess, and gives charm T.
all the comforts OF life it is attended with sale an.
comfortable hope Of Heaven it sooths the sor~
rows of sickness, pain and losses; It extracts
the sting of death and baosbes the dread Of The
grave; it presents the most just and lovely views
of the excellencies of God, the justice Of his gov
ernmsnt, and felicilies OF his children. Those
who walk in this way in the exercise of iah pray
err, and watchfulness are enamored Of its beauties.
They can testify that Religion never was design
ed to make our pleasures less:'

degradation of passion participated with brules.
