DEATH OF ALOVELY Babe.

Yonder white stone, emblem of the in
nocence it covers, informs the beholder
of one, who breathed out its tender soul,
almost in the instant Of receiving it,
There the peaceful infant, without SO much
as knowing what labor and vexation mean,
" lies still and is quiet ; it sleeps and IL
at rest" What did the little hasty So
journer find, SO forbidding and disgustlul
in our upper world, to occasion its precip
liant exit 'Tis written indeed, Of its
suffering Saviour, that when he had tast-
ed the vinegar mingled with the gall he
would not drink-Matt. xvii. a. And
did our new como stranger begin to sip
the cup of life but, perceiving the bitter
ness, turn away its head, and refuse the
draugat ? Was this the cause why Il c

inevitable snare of temptation forming, or
some dreadful storm Of adversely impend-

housed your pleasant plant, and removed
into shslter tender flower, before the
thunders roared, before the lightnings
flew before the tempest poured its rage :

FAMILY PRAYER.

FAMILY PRAYER.
A pious tIadesman conversing with q
minister on family worship, related the fol-
owing highly instructive circumstance re-
,pecting himself.
When first began business for my
self, was determined, through grace, to
,e particularly conscientious with respect
Family Prayer. Accordingly, l per
severed for many years in the delightful
,ractice of domestic worship. Morning
md evening every individual of my family
vas ordered always to bo present; MOI
would l allow my apprentices TO he absent
IN any account. In few years the ad-
vantages of these engagements appeared
nanifestly conspicuous; the blessings OF
he upper and neither springs followed me,
health and happiness attended my family
and prosperity my busi..ess. AT length,
such was my rapid increase in trade, and
The necessity Of devoting every possible
moment to my customers, that began to
think whether family prayer did not oc-
cupy too much time in the morning. Pi-
Gus scruples arose respecting my inten-
tons of relnquishing this part of my du-
ty; but at eugth worldly interest prevail
ed so far as to induce me 10 excuse the
attendance of my apprentices, and moi
long after, il was deemed advisable for
the more eager prosecution of our busi-
ness, to make prayer with my wife, when
we rose in the morning, suffice for the
day.
Notwithstanding the repeated checks
of conscience that followed this base o.
mission, the calls of a fourishing concern,
and the prospects of an increasing family,
appeared so impcrious and commanding
that found nm easy excuse for this fatal
evil, especially as did not omit prayer
altogether. My conscience was now al
most scared with hot iron, when it pleas
ed the Lord to awaken me by singular
providence.
"One day l received letter from u
young man, who had formerly been my
apprentice, previous to my emitting family
prayer. Not doubling but l continued
domestic worship, his letter was chiehj
on that subject: It was couched in the
most aAcctionste and respectful terms;
but Judge my surprise ond confusion,
when l read these words-'O, my dear
master, never, never shall be able 'suf.
ficiently to thank you for the precious
privilege with which you have INDUCED
me in your family devotions.-Oh, Sir,

YARN Courtship.-A few nights ago,
pair of lovers at Grindonmoor were LEFT
together, the family having retired to rest.
Two or three hours afterwards, the father
OF the young woman awoke, and perceiv-
ing smell of fire, went down stairs,
where he found his daughter and tho
young man sitting before the fire appar-
emily asleep, but enveloped in fames.--
How the accident occurred is unknown,
but it is supposed that the parties having
been over taken by drowsiness, spark
flew on the cotton gown of the female,
and set it on fire. Our informants adds,
that the young man was much injured.

THE WIFE.

How sweet to the soul Of (man Hero
clcs) is the society of beloved wife,
we'll wearied and broken down by the la
bouls of the day : her endearments
soothe, her tender cares restore him.
The solicitude and the anxietles, and the
heaviest lnisiurtunes of lie are hardly to
DC borne by him who has the weight oi
business and domestic cares at the same
.ithe to contend with. But how much
lighter do they seem, when after his neces-
sary avocations are over, he returns to
MS home, and finds there partner of all
ais grieis and troubles, who takes for his
sake her share of dome site labours upon
her, and soothes the anguish of his anici-
patton. A wife is not, as she is falsly
represented and esteem by some, bur-
len or sorrow to man. No she shares
ais burdens and she allevia,es his sorrows;
.or there is no difficulty so heavy or in
supporable in life, but it may be surmoun-
led by the mutual labours and the afiec-
;ionate concord of that holy partnership.
