CHILDHOOD.


We come to being from the night.
As cometh forth the morning light;
The world is beautiful and new,
The earth is filled with flowers and dew;
Birds loudly sing on wing and spray,
Aud we more merriIy Than they.
We gaiher strength, we run, we leap,
Find Joy in every thing-and sleep.
With mirth and beauty hand in hand,
We take possession of the land:
Life THEN is surely not breath
What THEN has life to do with DEATH
A mothers love, her smiles. her tears.
Are with us in those blessed years;
The seeds Of fond affection sown
In youth, that strong in age are grown;
Love. that in part her love repays,
Her solace in declining days;
Warmth, light in ages wnlry gloom,
Fair stars, sweet blossoms to the tomb
Then knowledge comes with manhoods noon
With care and sorow---all too soon.
The springs Of mystery are unsealed,
Whate or was hidden is revealed;
A common vision is the spring;
The rainbow is a common thing;
The morning and the sunset skies
Are gazed on with familiar eyes;
The reign of wild delight is Ger,
And the bright earth is heaven no more!

"GIvE ATTENDANCE TO READING"
You are a father. Would you ban
ish "evil speaking" sossiping, and idle
chit-chat from your fireside? Then fur
nish your lamiy with well selected books
apd periodicals, ana teach them to "givc
attendance to reading" Do you wish
your sons and daughters to employ them
selves about something more ennobhng
and less corrupting; something more re-
fined and less dangerous, than dances
and parties? Then cultivate in them
taste for intellectual pleasures and pur-
suits by teaching them to give atten-
dance to reading" Let your son grow
up without intellectual Improvement, it
may then be said Of him, he is ''fine
DANGER" gay looking young fellow;
he may prate about "balls," fashions" /"
"ladies,' % "rides" and "music," but lei
"A subject be introduced from History,
Philosophy, or civil polhy, and he is COM
PEELED to blush (f he have any sensbill-
ty) & his mouth is shut in dumb silence.
Let your daughter grow up without
intellectual cultivation, it may be said,
she is "pretty play thing" She can
chat about the "newest fashlons," the
"sprucest beau" the splendid assem-
by," the delightful music; but would a
man of sense think these topics calcula-
ted to make the hours pass pleasantly a
way? Would he choose her for COM
panon? What is to be her employment,
or occupy her thoughts when the days Of
dancing are rome by?
You are Christian parent. Would
you have the Sunday-school flourish un-
der enlightened and interesting teachers:
Would you have the Church rid Of slee-
py hearers and stupid starers? Would
YOU have your children become useful
and respe ctable members of community
firm and enlightened Christians
Prepare them to crafty your wishes by
teaching them to "give attendance to
reading"
What young man becomes prohgate
what young Christian turns apostate, or
becomes drone in the Church or world,
who spends his leisure hours in well Sc
lected reading?
The evenings are long-your family
perhaps is large. Set one of the num-
ber to reading aloud (while the rest are
employed) chapter from Rollin, Jose
phus, Buttons Natural History, Wes-
jey's Philosophy, Morse's or MaIte-
Bruins Geography, or some Biography,
or work on Theology or sermon. Thus
the whole will be gradually storing their
minds with such useful knowledge, as
will supersede the common, senseless
cht-chat about the weather, the news,
or, what is much worse, the canvassing
the characters and dragging out the fol-
bIes and faults Of absent persons. An
old proverb says, ga man is known by
the company he keeps" To read the
Bible is to converse with patriarchs
prophets, and apostles,-to read good
books is to keep the company Of the wise
and excellent Of the earth. Such com
paDy will polish the manners, while j
ir'proves the intellect and the heart.
