TO PARENTS.

4 [The following is an extract from the Frugal
Housewife
In early childhood, you lay the foun-
dation of poverty or riches, in the habits
you give your children. Teach them to
save every thing, hot for their own use,
for that would make them selfish, but
for some use. Teach them to share every
thing with their play mates but never
allow them to destroy any thing
Il once visited a family where the
most exact economy was observed yet
nothing was mean, or uncomfortable. 1t
is the character of true economy to be
as comfortable and genteel with little,
as others can be with much. In this
family when the father brought home a
package, the older children would, of
their own accord, put away the paper
and twinc neatly, instead of throwing
them in the fire or tearing them to pieces.
If the little one wanted piece of twine
to play scratch-cradle, or spin a top,
there it was in readiness; and when they
threw it on the floor, the elder children
had no need to be told to put it again in
its place.
Economy is generally despiscd as a
low virtue, tending to make people un-
generous and selfish. This is true Of
avaricc but it is not so of economy
The man who is economical, is laying up
for himself the permanent power of being
useful and generous. He who thought
lessly gives away ten dollars, when he
owes hundred more than he can pay,
deserves no praise, he obcys sudden
impulse, more like instinct than reason !;
it would be real charity to check this feel
ing because the good he does may be
doubtful, while the injury he does his
family and creditors is certain. True
economy is Il careful treasure in the ser
vice of bcncvolcnce and where they
arc united, responsibility, prosperity, and
peace will follow

a spring towards me and the next moment
lay "a corpse Oh the flooor !! The noise
of the pistol aroused the fair sleeper; she
started in her bed, and seemed an angel
of the white clouds emerging from her
downy bed to soar up the skies.
The first thing that presented itsclf to
her view, was myself standing near her,
with pistol in my hand.
"Oh, do not murder me take all !;
you cannot, will not kill me sir :"

and Mary Campbell received the gift of
tongues, in which she became quite as
fluent as in her native speech. 1t is true,
no one who has yet listened to the voice
ofherinspiration can understand one word
she utters, when she quits her mother
tongue; but their faith is not shaken in the
reality Of the miracle which is to be man
ifested, even to unbelicvcrs, when Mary
visits the heather. Every time she
opens her mouth the sounds she uttcrs are
different; but this only proves the great
ness Of the miracle, the languages being
those Of many nations.
The fame of Mary CompbelIs inspira-
ton, and the divine influence, as it was
called by the true believers, was felt by
others Of the faithful. The shape it in
general took was the miraculous cure OF
diseases. When the miracle did not
work well, it was always owing to want
of faith in the subject. An inspired bro
ther approached the bed of his sister,
who had been confined to it a long time,
and commanded her in the name of the
Lord Jesus, to rise and walk Her faith
was perfect she arose and walked about
her room, and slept better that night
than she had done a long time before,
and continued well ever since, though
thin and emacated--a circumstance
which causes want of faith in many,
who cannot believe that God would work
half miracle but think He would at
once remove all traces of the complaint.
Other similar miracles, have been per-
formed, and some have failed for want
of faith. The effect of the imagination in
the cure of many diseases is well know.
Miss Campbelps miraculous tongues un-
derstood by no one, can be accounted
for; but the real miracle is, that men of
education-that members of the Scottish
Bar, ,and Ministers of the Scottish Church
should be found among the believers.
Their number exceeds two thousand, and
it is still increasing.

POETRY.
7 III f FAD FAITH Err.
BY HARVEY ID. LITTLE.

Come hther, child, and kneel
In prayer, above thy fathers lfeless form
lie loved thee well, in sunshine and in storm,
Through days Of woe and veal
His blessings on thy head no more are given,
As once they came, like gentle dews Of heav n.
Look on that pallid face
Its wonted smiles are calmly resting there,
Unbroken by the deep drawn lines Of care
Sorrow hath left no trace
OF fnrrowed bitterness upon the meek
And still expression Of that blanched check.
Thou scarce canst feel thy loss,
Or know the chilling cares that have begun
TO shadow thy bright pathway gentle one
Many whitening cross
May in thy guileess bosom plant lis sting,
And to thy hopes poisoned chalice bring
How sad the firesde hearth
His manly form shall never-neyer more
Darken the threshold Of our cottage door
Nor the full sound of mrth
Go up in gladness to the whited wall
For death has entered with his funeral pail,
A chair is vacant now
A cheerful eye, and contented face,
Have left, for aye, their wonted dwelling place
And we must bow
A blessings gone a noble form is riven,
To darken this cold earth, and gladden. heaven.

BLARNEY.-This is the name of cas-
tie, about three miles from Cork. Ad-
joining to the inhabited mansion there
was formerly large square tower with
a winding stone staircase to the top the
floors were all gone, but the stone roof
was entire; it was the custom here for
all strangers who ascendcd to the top of
the tower, to creep on their hands and
knees to the cornerstone of the highest
pinnacle, and kiss the same; by virtue
of which, the parties ever after were said
to be endowed with extraordinary pow
crs ofloquacity and persuasion. Though
nobody could have believed that kissing
the stone had any such effect, the custom
was followed through innocent mirth and
it accordingly became "A common saying
at Cork of amy prattling fellow, he has
been at Barney" and hence the phrase,
"nonc of your Blarney"

From an Edinburgh paper,
NEW MIRACLES.

A new sect of believers has lately
sprung UP in Garcloch, Scotland, whose
faith and works are beginning to attract
the attention of the learned, as they have
for some time excited the warmcst feel
ings of the ignorant. About a twelve
month ago, a volume was published, en-
titled ''Pcacc in Believing, being the
Letters and Memors of Isabella Camp
bell, young person who died with con-
sumption" This volume acquired great
popularity amongst kindred minds, both
from the interesting character of the writ
er, and the natural eloquence of her let
tcrs. About the period of the publica-
ton, brother and sister ofthc deceased
were taken ill of the complaint of which
she died. The similarity of the circum-
stances, character and requirement of
two sisters excited a considerable interest
amongst those who considered themselves
the true believers. Every word the APP
parcntly dying sister spoke was listened to
as an aspirations, and she spoke with fer
your and huency truly wonderful Miss
Campbell was Of the sect who lay claim
to direct inspiration, and being listened
to with such reverential feelings, she
probably regarded what she poured forth
TO her admiring auditors with such facil-
ity, as in reality the outpouring OF the
spirit. Contrary to all expectation, she
some months ago began to recover, and
determined in gratitude to Heaven, to
devote her life to the conversion of the
heather. 1t was obviously necessary to
the success of her work that she should
understand the heathcn language. The
difficulty was overcome by new miracle

Fashionable Smging.-The Editor OF
the Augusta Courier, in remarking upon
Mrs. Plumcr's singing, says that he would

with him.-C Camden JOmnai.

1t is somewhat singular that the passion
for dress among males, is confined exclu-
sively to tradesmen and persons in the
lower rank of life. There are no peo-
pie in the world who dress so plainly as
our house of commons. Indeed there are
but few members of those august bodies,
whom Fleet-street siopman would not
turn up his nose at in the street. There
are many people who are not yet aware
that in good society it is a mark of vul-
garity to be dressed particularly well

Rogers Immediately breaks open her dwelling

made some proclamation and the furniture was
sold accordingly at public auction.
Rogers soon called for the avails of the sale,

came home, for they would make great fuss a
bout it. The auctioneer observed that he had
collected about fifty dollars which he might have
