Coon ExTRAcT.-Whcn people say
such one is injudicious, or ignorant, or
feeble, or shallow, but is good mother,
they talk nonsense. What the woman
is, the mother will be; and her personal
qualities will direct and govern her ma
ternal instinct, as her taste will influence C
her appetite. If she be prcjudiced and
ignorant, the good mother will misman-
age her children; and if she be violent
in temper, and vehement in opinion, the
good mother will be petulant and unjust
towards them; if she be Inconsistent and
cnpricious, she will alternate between fits
of severity and bursts of indulgence, C.
qnally fatal; if she be vain, and cOquet-
tish, and selfish, she may be fond of her
children through her pride, but she will
always be ready to sacrifice their enjoy
ments, and even their interests to the tri-
umphs of her own vanity, the qualification
of her own egotism.-Booh Of the Bou'
DOR.

tentions Of wife are a continual drop
ping" A woman who has not acquired
control over her temper, and who is
constantly breaking forth into fits of an
ger, must expect to become an object OF
fear rather than Of love. There can be
no home fer the unhappy man who has
been taught, by sad experience, to asso-
ciate the wife of his bosom with any-oth-
or feelings than those of affection, gentle
ness, and the most confding friendship.
As the sympathy of an amiable and al
fcctionate wife is one OF the most power
ful attractions TO life; so, on the other
hand, the irown of an angry woman, who
rules by passion and strife, is one oflile's
biucrcst sorrows. There can be nothing
truly comfortable in house where con-
tcntion and ll-will habitualIy prevail
Even religion itself must be languid and
imperative where the harmony of love
subsidies, and where pccvish fretfulncss
and vulgar rage usurp its place. The
spirit OF devotion must be greatly 'hinder-
ed where the spirit of strife finds an en-
trance. Love is the element of true pie
ty; but love canrot operate with sufficient
freedom where it is rcpcllcd by the indul-
gence of irasciblc passions, and where
the sistcr-graccs of inc ekncss and humil-
ity have no fixed dwelling placc.-Coun-
sells on .M0f,imOny.

SENsE.-There are great many grad
uations ofwisdom among people. There
is great sense, good sense, fine sense
and high sense, besides nonsense and
little sense; the best kind of sense, in my
estimation, is that vulgarly denominated
common sense. Your good sense is al
ways running away with itself; your great
sense is sure to have mischief at the bot
tom of it; your fine sense makes broken
hearts; your high sense makes broken
heads; your nonsense goes blundering to
the evil one often, and your little sense is
not much bctter-but common sense fills
a mans purse with dollars, his collar
with beef and pork, and his fircside with
a good wife and good chiIdren-common
sense is far the best.

Alas! am an orphan boy,
With nought on eath to cheer my heart;
No fathers love, no mothers JOY,
No kin nor kind to take my part,
My lodging il the cold, cold ground,
eat the bread of charity;
Aud when the kiss of love goes round,
There Is no kiss, alas. for me.
Yet once had father dear,
A mother too used to prize;
With ready hand to wipe the tear,
If chanc'd the transient tear to rise,
But cause of tears were rarely found,
For all NY heart was youthful gIee,
And when the kiss of love went round,
Low sweet kiss was there ior me.
But, ah. there came war they say;
What is a war;-l cannot tell:
But drums and iifes did swce,Iy play.
And loudly rang our village bell.
Indeed it was pretty sound
thought nor could then foresce
That when the kiss Of love went round
There soon should be no kiss for me.
a scarlet coat my father took,
And sword as bright as bright could be,
And feathers that 80 gay shook,
All in shining cap had he
Then how my little heart did hound,
Alas! thought it fine to see.--
Nor dreamt, that when the kiss went round,
There soon should he 10 kiss for me.
AT length the bell again did ring
There was victory, they said,-
Twas then my father said he ID bring,
But, ah! it brought my father dead,
My mother shrek 'd-hcr heart was wo,
She clasp'd me to her trembling knee;
Oh God! that you may never know
How wild kiss she gave to mel
BOT once again,-but once again,
These lips a mothers kisses felt;
That once again, n,--that once again,
The tale heart Of stone would melt,
Twas when upon death-b.d laid,
(And was called that sight to see,)
"My child, my child" she feebly said,
And gave the parting kiss to Inc.
so now am an orphan boy,
With nought below my heart to cheer;
No mothers love, no fathers joy,
Nor kin nor kind to wipe the tear.

LINES BY THE LAKE.

This placid stream, my gentle girl,
BE emblem Of thy life
As full Of peace and purity.
As free from care and strife
No ripple on its tranquil breast
That dies not with the day;
No pebble on its darkes, depths
But quivers in its rays
And SEQ, how every glorious form
And pageant Of the skies,
Reflected from its CLASSY face,
A mirrored image lies:
So be thy spirit ever pure;
To God, to virtue given;
And thought and word and action bear
The imagery of heaven! tDoANn.

More sweet than retrospeciion lenda,

That soothing charm would not lose.

THE AUTUMN EVENING.
Behold the Western evening lign!
1t melts in evening gloom:
SO calmly Christians sink away,
Descending to the tomb.
The winds breathe low; the wilhering leaf
Scarce whispers from the Tree;
So gently glows the parting breath,
When good men cease 10 be-.
How beautiful on all the hills
The crimson light * shed!
'Tls like the peace the Christian gives
To mourlers round his bed.
How mildly on the wandering cloud
The sunset beam IL cast!
'Tis like the memory left behind,
When loved ones breathe their last.
And now above the dews of night,
The yel!ow star appears;
So l,i,h springs in the heart of those
Whose eyes are dlmmcd with leans.
but soon the mornings happier light,
lis glory shall restore;
And eyelids that are sealed in death
Shall wake To close no more.
