CHILDHOOD AND HIS vIslTERs.

Once on a time, when sunny May
Was kissing at the April showers,
saw fair Childhood hard at play
Upon bank of blushing flowers -
dappy,-he knew not whence or how;
And smiling who could choose but love him
For not more glad than Childhood's brow,
Was the blue heaven that breathed above him
Old Time, in most appalling wrath,
That valleys green repose invaded;
The brooks grew dry upon his path,
The birds were mute, the lilies faded;
But time so swiftly winged his flight
In haste, d. Grecian tomb to batter,
That Childhood watched his paper kite,
And knew just nothing of the matter.
With curling lip, and gancing eye,
Guilt gazed on the scene a minute,
But Childhood's glance of purity,
Had such holy spell within it,
That the dark demon to the air
Spread forth again his haffiad pinion.
And hid his envy and DESPAIR,
Self-tortured, in his own dominion
Then stepped gloomy phantom up,
Pale ,cypress-crowned, nights awful daughter,
And proffered him fearful cup,
Full to the brim of bitter water;
Poor Childhood babe her tell her name,
And when the beldame muttered 4" Sorrow"
He said =" Don't interrupt my game,
III taste it, if | must, tomorrow"
The Muse of Pindus thther came,
And wooed him with the softest numbers
That ever scattered wealth and fame
Upon youthful poets slumbers;
Though sweet the music of the lay,
To Childhood it was all riddle,
And "Oh," he cried, " do send away
That noisy woman with the fiddle"
Then Wisdom stole his bat and ball,
And taught him, with most sage endeavor,
Why bubbles rise and acorns fall,
And why no toy may last for ever;
She talked of all the wonderous laws
Which Natures open book discloses,
And Childhood ere she made pause,
Was fast asleep among the roses.
Sleep on, sleep on oh Manhood's dreams
Are all of earthly pain, or pleasure,
OF Glory's tolls, Ambitions schemes,
Of cherished loye, or boarded treasure:
But to the couch where Childhood lies
more delicious trance is given,
Lit up by rays from Seraph eyes,
And glimpses of remembered heaven!

ADRoITNEss OF THE ARAB THIEVES.
The following story is given by M. de
Brussierre, as an illustration of the adroit-
ness and audacity of the Arabs in some of
of their thefts: An Arab introduced himself
by creeping on all tours, like quadruped,
into tent in which the Bey was reposing,
carrying off his clothes and arms, with
which he attired himself. The robber
quilted the tent very early in the morning,
and assuming the manner and naughty car
rage of the Chief whom he had left asleep,
so imposed upon the attendants by his ap-
pearance, that they led forth their masters
horse, which the Arab mounted and rode
off without creating suspicion. An hour
afterwards the servants were thunderstruck
at hearing the voice ofthe Bey, proceeding
from the tent, calling for assistance. The
latter was still more astonished than his
servants the boldness and adroitness of
the thief appeared to him totally incompre-
hensible. After several weeks spent in
fruitless endeavors to discover the delin-
quent, the Bey announced free pardon
to whomsoever would acknowledge in wha.
manner his arms had been removed from
under the pillow on which he slept. Some
days afterwards, the identical Arab pre-
sented himself before the Bey, and, remind
ing him of his proclamation, mentioned him
to recline on his couch and remain silent,
whilst he should explain the mode by which
he effected the robbery. The Arab forth
with dressed and armed himself as before,
left the tent, and again deceived the do
mestics, who brought out for his use
valuable and favorite horse, and, moreover,
handed him most magnificent pipe, think
ing all the time they were waiting on their
master. During the whole of this scene
the Bey, who saw what was passing was
convulsed with laughter, but his merriment
was soon checked when his prototype fairly
made off at full gallop, with his weapons
and baggage. 1t is needless, perhaps, to
mention, that the Arab after this feat was
too cunning to be seen again in those
quarters. London paper.

AvARrcE OUTwITTED. The case of John
Eyre, Esq, who though worth upwards Of
100000, was convicted at the Old Bailey,
and sentenced TO transportation for steal
ing eleven quires of common writing paper,
was rendered more memorable by the OPP
portunity which it gave Junius to impeach
the integrity of Lord Mansfield, who was
supposed to have erred in admitting him to
bail. An anecdote is related of Eyre,
which shows in a striking manner, the nat
ural depravity of the human heart; and may
help to recount for the meanness of the
crime of which he stood convicted. An
uncle of his, gentleman of considerable
property, made his will in favor of clergy
man who was his intimate friend, and COM
mitted it, unknown to the rest of the family,
to the custody of the divine. However, not
long before his death, having altered his
mind with regard to the disposal of his
wealth, he made another will, in which he
left the clergyman only G500, leaving the
bulk of his large property to go to his
nephew and his heir-in-law, Mr.. Eyre.
Soon after the old gentleman's death, Mr..
Eyre, rumnaging over his drawers found
this last will, and perceiving the legacy of
$500 in it for the clergyman, without any
hesitation or scruple of conscience put it
into the fire, and took possession Of the
whole effects, in consequence OF his being
supposed to die intestate. The clergyman
coming to town soon after, and inquiring
into the circumstances of his old friends
death, asked if he had made will before
he died. On being answered by Mr.. Eyre
in the negative, the clergyman very coolly
put his hand into his pocket, and pulled out
the former will, which had been committed
to his care, in which Mr.. Eyre bequeathed
him the whole of his fortune, amounting to
several thousand pounds, excepting lega-
cy Of 9200 to his nephew.-English paper.

There is one thing, says Goblet in his
/" Emigrant's Guide" which every English
wife ought to be told, when husband
is proposing to emigrate, and that is, that
the American husbands are the most lndul-
gent in the world but at the same time
she ought to be told that the American
wives are the least presuming, the most
docile, the least meddling in their husbands
affairs. and the most attentive to their own
affairs, of all the women upon the face of
the earth. America is country full of
writer's and takers upon politics; full of
political quarrels and discussions and do
not recollect that ever heard wife in
America open her lips upon any such SUBJ
Ject. They appear to have no pretensions
to any right TO NEEDLE with their husbands
concerns; and the husbands on their part,
are certainly the most gentle and the most
indulgent in the world, but not more so
than is merited by such wives.

Horne Tooke used to tell juvenile story
very illustrative of the narrator. Horne,
when at Elton, was one day asked by the
master, why a certain verb governed a
particular case? He answered. 81 don't
know" "That's impossible" said the mas
ter: 81 know you are not ignorant, but
obstinate" Horne, however, persisted, and
the master logged. After punishment, the
pedagogue quoted the rule of grammar !;
Horne instantly replied, 81 know that very
well-but you did not ask for the rule, YOU
demanded the reason" Here we have the
perspicuity of the mature dalectician, and
the logged obstinacy which would not yield
a step to authority, and could purchase
victory at any expense of suffering. Opin-
ions may change; but the man in his lead
ing characteristics, is at fifty what he is at
thirteen.-Lady Morgan.
