content with taking glance at things with

their cogitations in communicable form.
Idleness, ever at hand to advocate her own
plans, tells such minds that all they can
think or say, can never benefit or please the
world; and that it would be the mo- bare"
faced vanity to suppose that few distract
ed thoughts enunciated in an unpoiished
style, would either improve their own minds
or influence the manners of others. The
improvement of our minds and manners, as
we'll as those of our tellew men, in speaking
and writing our good thoughts, should be
more matter of concience than it is. The

TIE LAND OF NY HOME.

Twas moonlight; the shadows of night had de
scended;
The stars dimly show'd the abodes Of the
hest;
And fancy had wandered, from regions unfriend-
To that where the spirit is ever It rest:
As sleep stole my senses, vision came DER me,
Twas the vision of days and of happiness
flown,
And seem'd, with smile, all those joys to re-
store me,
And bore me away to the land Of my home.
again saw those meadows, SO fondly regarded,
Where rov'd when my heart WAS stranger
to care;
And every dear object by memory recorded
The rose and the willow were still growing
there.
How lovely and lonely the willow was growing
BY the brook, where often have wandered
alone,
As it bent DER the stream, which was playfully
flowing,
And sighed to the breeze, in the land Of my
home.
The friends of my childhood now saw advant-
ing
Those Joyous companions once held so deari
They seemed to the sound of some merry tune
dancing,
As the notes of the violin stole on my ear.
With rabtures l listened, the music was charm
ing,
AS sweetly it swell'd to heart-thrilling tonei
Twas the birds that were singing, as day was
just dawning
awoke far away from the land ofmy home.

REFLECTIONS ON MARRIAGE.

Did young people seriously consider the i'm
portant change which marriage must necessarily
produce in their situation, how much more cau-
tious would it make them in their choice of a
companion for life. Alas! what will avail the
graces of the finest figure, or the most beautiful
face or the assemblage of all that is ensnaring, if
the mind be blank like piece of white paper
and uncultivated' Or if the heart is depraved,
or the conduct imprudent, the gayest associate
of the convivial hour may be the dullest, and the
most unfit company for the domestic circle; and
he who is never satisfied but when he is in a
crowd, or when engaged in continual round of
pleasure, is very unlikely to make a tender, af-
fectionate husband Should sickness or distress
draw near, depend upon it he would fly from
their approach. lfbeauty alone excited his pas
sion, it would cease to exist, when you are de-
prived of those attractions on which it was
founded Iffortune was his inducement, that
will likewise lose its value in his sordid mind, and
the very person who brought him the wealth for
which he sighed, will be considered as the grand
obstacle 10 his enjoyment. Too often is this un-
pleasant picture to be seen in many discontented
families, which little serious reflection might
have prevented being 50 unfortunately realis-
ed.
Never be prevailed upon to yield your heart
to any one, however he may shine in the gay cir
cles of the world, ifyou are convinced that he
has no relish for retired life. The man who
likes every house better than his own, VIII
scarcely take the trouble of making his home a.
greeabe to others while it is disgusting to him
self. 1t will be the only place in which he will
give way to his discomfort and i'll humour SUCH
people are forever strangers to the dear delights
of the social state and all the real comforts OF
well regulated family. He ethatis indscrlminate-
ly at home, is never at home, and he feels him
self stranger or visitor amidst his closest con-
nexions.
