gination, reckless Of the future, loters
among departed pleasures, and strews
added roses over each glowing retro
spection; the landscape of spent life Of
lers, by her aid, only the sunny valleys
Of happiness and gratitied feeling, and
voluntarily close our eyes to the storms
which have fitted over them.
Thus, then there is a heart chill in
the approach of new year; it comes,
like stranger, from Il far country; it has
nor interest nor affinity with any, it has
to create for itself sympathies, and ties,
and affections; it brings with it new du-
ties, and new prospects, its very fresh
ness is iorbiddng; it is a blank page in
the scroll of time, which is yet uninscrib-
ed: and who shall trace his first charac-
ters upon the impershable tablet without
anxiety The rejoicings Of its welcome
are a mockery, for its bounties are yet
unenjoyed, its blessings are yet untasted,
and its task is still unperlormed; it starts
into being with the very expiring sigh OF
its predecessor, like the phoenix, from It's
own ashes; The same shout serves to cell
ebrate the exit Of the old year and the
entry of the new one there is no mo.
mentary lapse Of time to reconcile us tt
the change; the well-tried bark of exs
tence is iDguied in the ocean Of obliv
ion, and the new one comes on with ey-
panded sails and cleaning keel; there IL
no space for wailng the wreck, when WI
are hurrying forward to celebrate the
launch, and the very requim Of the los
vessel is the cheer which halls the ap
pearance of its successor. Surely it il
possible though the idea is Perhaps al
idle one, engendered by the fancy of al
enthusiast, THAT all these passing year:
are swept on by the hand Of their Eter
nal Author, into that hidden place
whence will be drawn the ceaseles'
! hoard Of centuries destined to form eter,
nifty; and that we shall live over agar
our sunny days while those Of storm ant
tumult will be withdrawn from the reck
oning, and those, Of error blotted from
the registry. Happy they from whose sun
Of gladdened months this withdrawal is
small one; and who, in counting over th'
days and weeks of their earthly existenc,
may find pleasant memories in their re
newal; and have a prouder tale to tell 0
past life than he who, after lengthene

husband and wife is mutually derived
from each other-they partake alike of
JOY and sorrow, glory and ignomny-,
wealth and poverty-they are the same
to each other in all the circumstances of
life-the misfortune Of one is the misfor-
tune Of the other--nothing but the grave
can sever their connexions; even the
bonds which unite brother and sister, or
parents and children, are far less endur-

hood; he is nov, perhaps, contending
with the difficulties Of the world, and re-
ceives no longer the protection of IA

the grave around him, and his only So
lace is the wife of his bosom; she, per-
haps, fed from her paternal roof, willing
to sacrifice every thing for his sake, and
now clngs fondly to him for protection
and support; thus, she becomes his chief
delight, and by her tenderness and love,
she sweetens his toll, and scatters sun
shine along the pathway Of his exis-
tence.

Hours Of Devotion.
Translated from the 9Th German Edition. J

A volume under the above title has
lately been published in Philadelphia
translated by Moriss Mattson, Esq. 1t
is composed Of rehections on various sub
jects, given in an easy natural style, and
breathing piety and good sense. A few
extracts, showing the general tenor, are
subjoined:
The Religion of Childhood. Take a
way religion, and you take away the
foundation Of much that is noble and ex-
alted in man. He who possesses it looks
upon the world with an increase of ad-
miration---he feels his heart glowing
with renovated love to his fellow crea-
tures--he acknowledges the invisible
and all pervading power Of the Eternal:
he looks upon the heavens and beholds
the moon and the stars as evidences Of
a better and brighter world. Religion
throws u brilliancy on the morning OF
life; it embelishes the gay and fanciful
dreams Of childhood; it steals, like a re-
freshing dew, upon the hearts of the
young and innocent, soilening their feel
ings and affections, without their know.

POETRY.
WORSHIP BY THE ROsE-TREE

Author Of beauty, Spirit Of Power,
Thou who did'sl will that the Rose should be,
Here is the place, and this is the hour
To seek thy presence and bow to thee.
Bright is the world with the sans first rays;
Cool is the dew on the soft green sod,
The Rose-tree blooms, while the birds sing praise
And earth gives glory to Natures God.
Under this beautiful work Of thine,
The Aowery boughs that are bending Ger
The gstening turf, to thy will divine
kneel, and It's Maker and mine adore!
Thou art around US! Thy robe Of ligh,
Touches the gracefully waving tree,
Turning to jewels the tears Of night,
And making the buds unfoldto thee
Thy name Is marked in delicate lines,
On flower and leaf that deck the stem;
Thy care is seen, and thy wisdom shines
In even the thorn that is guarding them.
Now, while the Rose has burst her cup,
Opens her heart, and freely throws
To me her odors, offer up
thanks to the Being who made the Rose.

thrown out to aid them to the boat, but
so very rough were tho waves, that all
this was totally unavaling, and they
seemed inevitably perishing-that beau
ttul girl und that noble boy-when a
sturdy old tar, passenger in the boat
taking the end Of small cord in his
teeth, and directing one of the crew to
hold the other end, plunged into the boil
ing waters, and dashing them aside like
n giant, swan to the sinking pair, laid
his strong grasp on the young mans
arm, and hallooing to the crew TO pull in,
they were drawn To The side olthe steam
boat, and lifted on deck, seemingly at
the last gasp Of life! The same expert
ment brought in the old lady and hcr
preserver, who had managed, until re-
lieved, to retain their hold upon the heel
Of the capszed boat. When the young
lady came to herself, (Which she did in a
few ninutos,) she looked about her with
wild glance, and SIZED for her moth
er; with cry of wild joy, they rushed
into each others arms; and various AS
was the crowd that Witnessed this scene
upon the deck of that boat, not an indi-
vidual but seemed to regard it with The
deepest feeling. The young lady again
looked up from her mothers bosom, with
!, even more alarmed glance than before,
until her eye fell upon the very handsome
features Of the young man who had been
the companion of her danger; and al
though | cannot, in relating this real lit
tie incident, adopt the style of the novel
ist, and say that they too, rushed to each
others embrace, yet such look Of ex-
treme Joy as those beautiful eyes, sud-
denly filling with tears as she affection
ateIy held out her hand to the youth,
might certainly have served as model
for some Of the most touching scenes Of
romance. The ladies' retired to their ca
bin, aud saw no more Of them; but il

The two most precious things on this
side tho grave are, our reputation and
our life. But it is to be lamented that
the most contemplate whisper may de-
prive us Of the one, and the weakest

STEAM BOAT INCIDENT.

Il AN IVA INNaOENls
The small boat put off to take in three
passengers who had made signals from
the shore--a gentleman and Two ladies',
whose shawls and ribbons huttered 10 the
fierce wind like the Quiverng of brill
liant flag at mast head. The bay was
exceedingly rough, and the white caps
careered all over the watery ex2anse
like the flashing names Of troop Of wild
horses. None but heroine, or one to-
tally ignorant Of the danger, would have
ventured upon such surf. The boat
was manned by two stout seamen only !;
and after taking in the passengers, and
pulling out a few rods from the shore, it
lay tossing like fishing cork upon the
rough sea, making little or no progress
towards The steam boat. The sturdy row.
ers, taking long and strong pulls, bent
their entire strength to the oars, and the
gentleman, leaving the ladies', whose
hands he had hitherto held, lent his aid
to the oarsman nearest to h:M. This mo-
ment decided the struggle The united
strength of the two, aided by huge
wave which struck the boat on its side,
threw it oil its balance, and dipping deep
in the water it was capsized, and the lit
tie crew were delivered over to the mer-
cy OF the bi!!ows A shrll shrek went
wildly over the waters; band box, cloak
and hat were visible, floating high upon
the surge, but for mon,ont nothing else,
the keel Of the boat excepted, was to be
seen. Unfortunately, no other small craft
was attached to the steam boat and al
though she Immediately wheeled round
and ran up to the relief of the sufferers,
yet several precious minutes elapsed be-
fore this could be effected. When we
came up, one of the oarsman was drag
ging an elderly woman upon the keel OF
the capsized boat, the other was making
the best of his way towards the steam
boat, taking especial care ofhs own safe
ty in the first place; while carried to some
distance by refluent wave, I saw for a
moment, distinctly the features ola beau
tiful girl, pale indeed with alarm, vet ex-
pressing perfect consciousness of her
situation, and beaming with the hope and
courage Of a bold heart. She was sup

From the Youths Sketch Book.
THE LITTLE BOAT-BUILDERs
Beside the sea-shore Charles and Ben
Sat down one summers day,
To build their little boats and then
To watch them sail away.
"ITpuah!' the boats have lefl the shore,
And sido by side they sail;
The pleasant sunshine all before,
Behind, the summer gale.
But all too rough the sunny sea;
One boat upse.s-and then
They clap their hands and shout with sles,
''IIurrah"' she's up again"
But OH the wave it cannot live;
II sinks-and now the other!
And now louder shout they give,
"iIurrah! well build another"
"Let's make ourselves little SEA,
The ocean is TOO large
This tub will do for you and me
To sail our little barge"
Dear children! thus through life your joys
May vanish will you then
Sill laugh as Ger your childish toys,
And think lhey'l rise again
And when lfe's ocean seems too wide
Your quiet course 10 trace,
Say, will YOU wisely turn aside.
And choose a humber place
And will you, as your joys decay,
First one and then the other,
Shout on, as one hope sinks away,
