!. DREADFUL HARD TInrEs.,

Yesterday walkd down to that part of the town,
Where people collect at the sign of the Tun,
To discuss and debate the great matters of state,
And show how the things that go wrong should be
done;
There was ragged Sam Kent, who is not worth a
cent,
There was idle Dick Lawless, and noisy Jack
Grimes,
And staggering Jim Bell, who has nothing to sell,
AL cursing the Banks and these dreadful hard
times.
There was old daddy SIop, who has lost his last
crop,
By neglecting to mend up some gaps in the fence
There was shabby Ned Thorn, who had planted his
corn,
But had never put hoe, no. nor plough to it since
There was dashing Bill Sutton, with fine dandy
coat on,
Who was meier out Of debt, nor was worth twenty
dimes;
They too joined the fhrong, and still kept up the
song,
A the Banks and these dreadful hard times
Next came in Dick Short, who was summoned 10
court,
For some hundreds of half pnts of whiskey and rum
He had brought the last sack of his grain or his back
Tho his children were crying with hunger at home
Here, landlord, said Short, come bring me a Quart
Unjust treat these my friends air. and merry 1Joci
Grimes,
we the corn, sir to pay, there's no booking to-day
Then he fell to cnrsng the Banks and hard times
Next came in Tom Sergeant, who lately turned mer.
chant,
And bought full store, / can scarcely tell how;
But this much know, about twelve months ago.
That the constable sold at the post his last cow
Yet Tom dashd away, spending hundreds each day
Till the merchant brought suits for their dry good
and wines;
So Tom joined the throng, and assisted the song.
With Curse on the Banks and these dreadfnl
hard times

/
There is perhaps nothing in which sense
of the goodness of God comes over our
spirits with purer and holier influence
than in the happiness of children. For our
own enjoyments we are too apt to think our
selves indebted to our own exertions. We
attain our object, and thank only our own
effort for it. But the smile which plays
round an infants lips, or the free burst of
Joy, which the mouth of child sends forth,
as they are caused by no toll of their own,
make us feel most sensibly that they owe
their happiness to the continual influence of
that Being, who once called them to himself,
and would not have them forbidden. Their
angels do always behold the face of their ia
Their in Heaven. The enjoyments of man
hood are too often scarcely worth the effort,
and when acquired, too often dimmed by un-
worthy passion, or weak triumph. Envy
haunts us, for we see others apparently hap
pier than ourselves. Jealousy consumes us,
for either we have not excelled others, or
we find them treading too closely on our
steps. Revenge sweeps us along with her
unholy influence, for our fears of rival
must be ended; he who is before us must be
thrown back. And then when we succeed,
our Joy is diminished by the sense of uncer-
tainty, or desecrated by malignant exul-
patton. But the happiness of child, how
pure and beautiful thing it is! No efforts
acquired it, for it seems to come immedi-
ately from on high. No fear of the future
can allay it, for there seems in the heart of
child, sort of innate confidence in the
goodness of God, which is too apt to desert
us when we grow older, or become choked
up by the cares and disappointments of the
world. TWAS one among the eleganstheo
ries Of the ancients, that the souls of men
existed in the presence of their Creator, be-
fore they were sent on earth, and that those
hours of happiness which we cannot trace
to any external source, were caused by the
dim recollections which the soul retained of
state of perfect joy, by an involuntary MS
ing of the spirit to place which it feels to
be it,. only proper home. There is some
thing in the holy tranquility of an infants
smile, which goes far to illustrate this fine
imagination. Who can tell from whence
that joy proceeds, which lights up its eyes
with transport, or what delightful visions of
another world may come over its soul during
the calmness of its body's sleep? It may
be that there is more of fancy than of fact
in reflections like these, and yet, who. that
ever feels any thing, can see the expression
of an infants face, before any trace of
earthly passion has deformed its beauty, with
out being led at once to the contemplation
of state where every spirit is as holy as
the one he sees: where the same GOD.
who is continually giving sources of happi-
ness to those who cannot help themselves
shall be surrounded by spirits who have pas
sed through life, with the innocence and
simplicity of children, or whose sins have
been pardoned and their souls redeemed by
the sacrifice and intercession of Saviour.

rHE MARINERS HYMN.

THE MARINERS HYMN.
Launch thy bark, mariner!
Christian! God speed thee
Let loose the rudder-bands--
Good angels lead thee.
Set thy sails warily,
Tempests will come;
Steer thy course steadily
Christian! steer home.
Look to the weather-bow,
Breakers are round thee;
Let fall thy plummel now,
Shadows may ground thee;
Reef in the fore-sail there
Hold the helm fast!
So let the vessel wear,
There sweep the blast.
What Of the night-watch (?
What Of the night ?
Cloudy--also quiet
No land yet--all's right.
Be wakeful--be vigilant,
Danger may be
Quite near, when all scemeth
Securest to thee.
How gains the leak SO fast ?
Clear out the hold.
Hoist up thy merchandise,
Heave out the gold.
There--let the ingots 60,
Now the ship rights,
Sound, for the. harbour's near,
Lo! the red ligths!
Slacken not sail yet,
At inlet or island,
Straight for the beacon steer,
Straight for the high land.
Crowd all thy canvass on
Cut through the foam,
Christian! cast anchor now
Heaven is thy home.

Look at that bird Of glossiest wing,
Yet sweeter taste than plume,
That scuds and murmurs, sips and sings,
And feasts upon perfume.
Look at the rose his bill invades,
With eager, wanton strife;
On what slender stem it fades,
And bushes into life.
Look at bent Lilies as you walk,
How elegantly thin,
Yet we'll that fragrance from their stalk,
Proclaims the power within.
Look at that sex, whose form may vaunt
More grace than bird or rose,
What fine infrmities enchant,
What frailty charms in those.
Examine men, the world around,
Who soar with generous aim,
How few with rugged strength abound
In fiber, or in frame.
Great souls, with enefgetick thought
Wear out their shell of clay,
Yet at each crevice light is caught,
Till all is mental day.

Or grieve, because it is not joined

The Olive Tres. The Olive Tree
beng a native of warm countries may be
cultivated with advantage IN our Southern
states. It's fruits very valuable as an artI-
Gle Of luxury for those who like III and
for ITS OIL which Is extensively used IN the
arts, and IN domestic economy.
Amongst the different species, of the
Olive Tree one of the most important Is
the Fragrant Olive { Oleq Fragrans, of
ASIA, used by the Chinese to flavor the teas
which they send from their celestial empire
to this country. A good account of this Is
given in the splendid work of DIR. Letson
on the Natural History of the Tea Tree. A"
The evergreen Olive of North America,
is a beautiful tree, of from twelve to TWEEN
" feet high, with flowers of a pleasant
smell, but the fruit Is austere. A more
particular account ofthIs may be found in
the excellent work of Stephen Elliot on
the Botany of South Carolina, Georgia,
and the Southern parts ofthe United States.
The European Olive, from which our
sweet oil Of commerce Is obtained, does
not appear to have been indigenous in that
quarter of the world; but has been acch-
mated and cultivated there for many cen
.unes, until its origin has become obscure,
and II has been claimed as a native by the
name of Olsa ElvOPea.

anclents, and was probably cOeval with

the old testament as quite a familiar thing
Thus in Deuteronomy (c. . V. 4O) "a
mong the curses denounced against DISC
bedience, we read, "ThOU shalt have
oHre trees throughout thy coasts, but thou
shalt not anolnt myself with the oil for the
olive shall cast his fruit" And that it
was very highly esteemed IS manifest from
the fact that in the Oldest fable extant,
THAT of lothian recorded in Judges c. 9,
Y. sac. we read that when ''all the trees
went out on a time TO anoInt a king over
them," they compllmented the Olive tree
with the first offer OF the crown, and they
said unto the Olive Tree Reign thou over
US" But, it seems. he was too wise and
unamblhous land We MY suppose too

baubIe, and "said unto them, with a
lust consciousness OF his virtues, should
/ leave my fatness, wherewith by me they
honor God and man, and go and be pro
NOTED over the trees?'" And the Olive
tree with It's fruits and flowers, Is often Sc
lected by the sacred poets, as symbol of
righteousness and prosperity, and also as
as an emblem Of the church In all its glo-
y.
The Olive tree is, also, avery classical
tree, and seems to grow with particular
pleasure In Greece, as IN It's own land. The
fabulous accounts Of its origin in Athca,
IS well known, and shows the high consid-
GRAFTON IN whichIt was held IN that region.

this, Neptune struck the ground with his
