THE CHILDREN,S BALL.

Brilliant and gay was the lighted hall,
Twas the night OF an infant festival,
There were syIph-like forms in the nazy dance,
And there were the tutored step and glance,
And the gay attire, and the hopes and fears
That might we'll bespesk maturer years;
The sight might to common eyes seem glad,
But own that il made my spirits sad.
] saw not in all that festive scene,
The cloudless brow. and the careless mien,
But Vanity sought the strangers gaze,
And Envy shrnnk from ano,hers praise.
And Pride repealed with disdainful eyes,
The once loved playmate Of days gone by.
Alas! that feeling SO far from mid,
Should find place in the breast Of little child!
And how, thought !, at the monow's rise,
Will these fair young sleepers ope their eyes,
VIII their smiles The freshness Of morning speak
And the roses Of health sufIuse their cheek!
No with u wearied mind and look,
They will turn from the pencil the globe s. book
longing and feverlsh glance to cast
On tho JOYS and the pains Of the evening past.
Parents! it's all too soon to press
The g'ittering felters Of wordness
On those tender years, to which belong
Tbe merry sport, and the brd-like song;
What fruit can the trees Of autumn bring.
il the fragile blossoms be nipt in SPRING.
such stores will the summer Of life impart,
nye spoil the bloom Of the infan, heart.

SENTENCES FROM HORACE.

No one is born without vices, and he
is the best man who is encountered with
the least.
1t is but fair that he who entreats a
pardon for his faults, should be ready to
grant one in his turn.
As soon as age shall have strengthen
cd your limbs and mind, you may swim
without cork.
1t is of no consequence OF what pa
rents any man is born, SO that he be Of
merit
Let there be some end to your search
ing after riches, and since you have
more than enough, be in less dread OF
poverty.
All, but especially the covetous, think
their condition The hardest.
He who is always in hurry to be
wealthy, and immersed in the study ol
augmentiDg his fortune, has lost the arms
OF reason, and deserted the post Of vir-
tue.
The friendship Of great men is Il
laughable acquisition, yet their favors
are ever to be solicited with mOdesty and
Ccaution.
Death is the ultimate boundary Of hu.
man matters.

cause there are many ways, will you de-
termine to take the wrong one! With
as much reason, might you say, that be-
cause there are so many right ways in
this world for man to get an honest liv-
ing and support himself and family ,shere-
fore am determined to gain my earthly
sustenance by doing wrong, and cheat
ing my neighbors Of their just rights
Moreover, there are so many different
ways to gain an honest support, that |
know not which to choose, therefore |
will conclude to continue M my rrong
doing and dishonesty, as being best suit
ed TO my Nnclnation aud idle disposition,
for who can tell which is the best way
among so many different ways' And as
to the old proverb "honesty is the best
policy" | cannot see but that the many
ways to be honest, destroy altogether the
necessity Of being so, and that it is just
as well to do prong, while there are so
many ways Of doing right, as to be go
verned by this old-fashioned adage.-
This is precisely as good reasoning as
that which objects to religion because
there are so many different opinions and
religious sects in the world. This OBJ
lection says, "bseause there are many
ways | will be sure to remain in the
,crong one" we were going jour
ney on which our life depended, would
we be wise to stop because we found
some crossways, or because we saw
some travellers go the horse-way ant
some the foot way, and some break ove
the hedge of fence, and others miss tn,
way? Should not such circumstance
make us more earefut 10 enquire The righ
way The whole is this-thOse who re
main in conscious unfisness for heav
ly society and happiness, wish to hav
some sort of excuse for their neglect G
personal religion, and then fly to the dill
terent options Of the several religion
sects that hide themselves under thi
subterluge from the remonstrances c
conscience, and the convictions of truth
But all the errors Of the various seci
wal never form a covering sufficient
thick to hide the deformities Of the unre
newed heart Christian Sen.

DIFFERENT WAYS.

Nothing is more common than for men,
not disposed to engage heartily in the
prosecution Of religious course, to
plead as an excuse for their neglectipg
religion, the difference Of the several de
nominations Of Christians. "There are,"
say they, $50 many ways and religions,
that we know not which TO believe or
pursue, and therefore we will remain as
we are" To their reluctant and slug
gish souls in matters of religion and gos-
pei salvation, this appears an insurrnount-
able difficulty in their way, and most
unanswerable objection against entering
personally upon the proper religious
course. "There are so many ways tha,
We cannot tell which is right" And be-
