HUMAN LIFE,
OR, THE FIRST AND LAST MINUTE.

ces slowly across his study. lie is father:
a man child is born unto him. Minutes pass:
the child has been blessed by parent, whom
il cannot recognize, and pressed to that bo-
som, to which instinct alone guides for susie
nance-the young wife too has family an
swered to husbands questions, and felt his
warm kiss on her forehead.
Hours pass.-The low meanings from the
closely covered cradle, tell Of the first wants
OF its infant occupant. The quiet tread of the
nurse speaks Of suffering around her; while
her glad countenance says that the very suf-
fcr;ng which she is trying to alleviate, is q
source of Joy: and the nameless articles,
which from time to time she arranges on the
hearth, tell Of new claimant for the atten-
tions and courtesies Of those who have pro-
gressed further on the pathway Of existence.
Days pass.--Visiters are thronging the
chamber, and the mother, pale and interesting
after her recent sickness, is receiving their
congratulations, and listening proudly to their
praises Of the little treasure, which lies a.
sleep in its rocking bed at her feet The
scene shifts, and the father is there alone, as
the twilight deepens about them, while they
are planning the future destiny oftheir child.
Weeks pass.-The eyes of the young mo-
ther are sparkling with health, and the rose
blooms again on her cheek, and the cares Of
pleasure and home engage her attention, and
the father is once more mingling with the
world; yet they find many opportunities each
day to visit the young inheritor Of life; to
watch over his dreamless slumber-to trace
each others looks in his countenance, and to
ponder upon the felicity, Of which he is the
bearer of them.
Months pdss.-The cradle is deserted
But the chamber floor is strewed with play
things, and there is little one lettering a.
inong them whose half lisped words, and
hearty laugh, and sunny countenance tell you,
that the entrance into life is over pathway
of flowers. The cradle is empty, but the last
prayer of the parents is uttered over the
small crib, which stands by their own bed

| grown up, are fast crowding him out oft; ant
| there are many claimants upon his industry
and love for protection and support.
| Years Iass-His own children have become
men, aud are quitting him, as he also quilted
the home of his fathers. His steps have los
their elastcty-his hand has become familia
with the cane, to which he IL obliged to trus
in his walks. He has left the hustle which
fatigued him. He looks anxiously in eacf
days paper among the Geaths-and then pom
ders over the name of an old friend, anc
tries to persuade himself that he is younger
and stronger, and has better hold upon life
than any Of his contemporaries.
Months pass.--He gradually diminishes the
circle Of his activity. lie dislikes to 60 a.
broad where he finds so many new faces: and
he grieves to meet his former companions
after q short absence, they seem to have
grown so old and infrm. Quiet enjoyments
only are relshed-a little conversation about
old times-a sober game at whist-a reli-
gious treaties-and his early bed, form for
him the sum total of his pleasures.
Weeks pass.-Infrmity keeps him in his
chamber. His walks are limited to the small
space between his easy chair and his bed
His swollen limbs are wrapped in flannels.-
His sight is failing-his ears refuse their du-
ty, and his cup is but half filled, since other
wise, his shaking hand cannot carry it to his
shrunk lips without spilling its contents.-
His powers are weakened--his faculties
bunted--his strength is lost.
Days pass.-The old man does not leave
his bed-his memory is faing-he talks but
cannot be understood;-he asks questions,
but they relate to the transactions of former
generation-he speaks Of occurrences, but
the recollection Of no one around him can 60
back to their scenes-he seems % commune
with comrades, but when he names them, it is
found that the waters of time and oblivion
have long covered their tombs.
dimmer-the machinery moves yet more and
more slowly-the sands are fewer as they
measure the allotted span. The motion of
those about him is unheeded, or becomes a
vexation. Each fresh inquiry after his health
is knell. The springs Of life can no longer
force on it's wheels-the ''silver cord" is fast
untwisting--the pitcher is broken at the
fountain-and time sis burthen." His chill
dren are about him, but he heeds them not;
his friends are near, but he does not recog-
nize them. The circle is completed. The
course is run-and utter weakness brings
the damp, which ushers in the night Of
death.
Minutes pass.-His breathing grows softer
and lower-his pulse beats fainter and fee
bier. Those around him are listening, but
cannot tell when they cease. The embers
are burnt out-and the blaze flashes not be-

ten" are numbered. "Human life is finish

IMPORTANCE OF EARLY IIABITs.-When
you look forward to those plans of life, which
either your circumstances have suggested or
your friends have proposed, you will not hes
itatc to acknowledge, that in order to pursue
them with advantage, some previous discipline
is necessary. BE assured that whatever is to
be your profession, no Education is more ne
cessary to your success, than the requirement
of virtuous dispositions and habits. This is
the universal preparation for every character,
and every station in life.
Bad as the world is, respect is always paid
to virtue.-Biair.

BURIAL OF AN INFANT.

| We gazed upon the little innocent, lovely
even in death-robed in spotless white; and
the sadness of our hearts was soothed with
the thought that, though we were taking our
last look of its pure body, and about to con-
sign that to the earth-its spirit was in Heav-
en-a happy angel
We carried it gently to its quiet resting
place. All was calm, soft, and serene! We
brushed the dew from the grass, as we pas
sed along, ere the sun had risen high enough
to drink It up. Emblem of human life! bles-
sed dew of heaven! glittering in the morning
only to be exhaled! filling the air with early
fragrance only to be remembered at noon!
! We slowly placed the little coffin in its
"narrow CELL" cut in the bosom of the earth.
Happier bed than crib or cradle, if fond
hearts would only think Alright! We paused
for few moments, and lifted our hearts to
God, silently beseeching Him to "comfort
those who mourned." AS for the babe, we
had nothing to ask. The sure word of pro-
mise had said-"Suffcr little children to come
unto me, and forbid them not, for Of such is
the kingdom Of Heaven."
AS we looked on the yet open earth, we
thought of the hopes that were about to be
buried there But why should they be? Why
should they not rather rise from the ground,
and following the bright track Of an immor-
tai soul, perfect in innocence, and only at the
fountain of bliss, where that same soul is to
rest forever and ever without change, with
out pain, and without sin! What are the high
est anticipations connected with this world,
when compared to an eternity of unalloyed
happiness which is to come: happiness, which
"eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, nor the
Imagination Of man conceived"
In silence we closed the grave. The last
Offices of affection had been paid. The bo-
dy had been committed to the earth, and the
spirit to God who gave it, .4ier. Gaz.

THE TWILIGHT HOUR.


IT'S now the balmy evening hour
The sweetest Of our summer ewes;
The summer sun has lost its power
Amid the western tore 81 leaves.
And weary man has sunk to rest,
His days toll oeT; aud visions blest
springing from faDey's roseate bed.
Dance lightly round his piIowed head.
How besuteous now The western skies,
Their crimson robes unfurIed:
That seen, 10 veil from mortal eyes
The vistas 10 a brighter world;
And a. the tinted lust re- fades,
And hick'ring light gives place To shades
The hour brings rest to thoughts of earh,
And gives the lofier, hotter birth.
This is the hour when angels eye,
With softened smile, pure earthly love:
And hail with Joy each balfbreathed sigh,
The z-phyrs wan To realm. above;
And bear them ith the wings of thought,
To altars in the diamond wrought,
From which they rise an incense dear
TO Him who loves his creatures hero.
The mother views her lovely child,
Fatigued with all his sports Of day,
Sihk In slulnbers calm aud mild
but iurns not from his couch away:
She gazrs on hi. faint sweet smile,
His auburn eurls, aud polished brow,
Aud prays no thought o earthly guile
May fade those cheeks, so Toseats now.
Where now u proud ambitions frownl
Wb-re q flames of anger. breast'
Defre the beauteOus evening flown,
They've left the troubled mind to rest.

OF Dathlng. Ihe merchant gladly assented.
The plan Of the young, but hardened miscre-
ant was to strangle his victim in the water:
but the place was SO crowded with bathers
that he could not effect his object there
They remained at the island until near sun
set, when the merchant who had an engage
ment before night-fall, insisted upon return
ing. They entered the skiti, and A., on the
pretence Of being acquainted with the cur
rent, took the oars. lie rowed for some time
in silence, but his companion finding night
approaching, and the skiif no nearer the city,
became alarmed, took the oars, and pulled
vigorously for New-York. 1t was now dark.
A. was in the stern Of the boat. This was
the moment for his guilty purpose. Lifting a
stone which he had thrown into the boat, he
crept near his victim, and struck him with all
his force on the head. The merchant was
wounded severely, but fortunately not stun
ned. lie turned upon his assailant, shrieking
murder. They grappled, and in the brief
struggle, the merchant rendered strong BY
desperation, got the murderer down i'm the
boat. Meanwhile the cries for help we're
heard by some persons in boat near by, and
seeing the approach Of aid, separated and re-
tired to different ends of the boat.
A. finding himself bafiled, joined his com
panion in shouting murder, and to aid the
fraud, took out a large knife, opened his jack
ct and vest, and woundng himself in the
side, threw the bloody knife to the bottom of
the skiff. This scheme, so artiully devised,
and so boldly executed, was, by an overruling
made the means Of detection and
punishment. The boat approached, and A.,
pointing to bis wound and to the knife, ac-
cused the merchant Of a design to murder
