son became improvident; his business
was deranged, and the visits Of his cred
itors were frequent, and foreboded dire
catastrophe. AT this juncture, Marion
came to the conclusion TO leave home for
few weeks, to try the effect her abb
sence would produce on her fallen hus-
band. While she was gone, | called at
her house to spend n night, not knowing
until / arrived, that she was absent
Language would be impotent TO describe
my feelings, when entered the house,
il was emptied of all its inhabitants, but
one, who had consented to remain dur
ing Marion's visit to her friends. found
the furniture standing in the house, and
each piece told a tale Of woe, and every
door as il turned on its hinges, crcaked
dirge; and, oh! the deserted table, it
would have robbed glutton Of his meal
But ii few years had passed, since had
set at the same table, surrounded by
healthy and happy faces; the husband
and wife presiding with the utmost dig
nifty; their house then was the home of
hospitality. Night came on, and Ma
son did not come home; his relative be-
came alarmed for his safety; l retired to
rest, but not to sleep; for the slightest
noise aroused my watchful companion.
The sun rose and Mason had not yet
arrived; it was one of autumn's loveliest
mornings, and under any other circum-
stances, | could have enjoyed it. My
window afforded for the season, one OF
the most beautiful prospects in nature,
but the golden tints Of autumn were
transformed into sooty blackness. The
graceful willows that ornamented the
yard, seemed weeping over the miseries
of the family. When l cast my eye
over the situation, the birth-right Of Mrs.
| Mason, and recollect how often Mason,
in the pride Of his heart, had told me
that ke was constantly in it, and he would
sooner lose his right eye, than have il
ever encumbe red by any debt that he
should contract;-I could but exclaim,
"ihy servant has become dog" and
when he came home, | saw my eXcla-
nation verified: he was a stupid DRUNK

I that all Mason's property was to be sold
under the hammer. A relative Of NJ a
| rion's, who lived at a distance, with the
benevolence of a Howard, offered hel
children and herself an asylum in hi:
family. Thither she has gone with 9
broken heart, and poor health, to find a
premature grave, unless her wretched
husband is soon reclaimed. Must she
: be sacrificed TO effect his reiormation?--

Of this opinion, a sheet iron baking pan,
laying on the Garret floor, was periorat-
ed as though a large bullet had been
driven through it. Here has been an
expense to the insurance office Of at
least seven or eight hundred dollars,
when, in all probability, the trifling sum
oftwenty dollars, expended in properly
constructed Lightning Rods, would have
protected the building; not taking into
the account the loss of lives that might
have been caused from such neglect.

suits, and from that hour, il may be said,
from that moment, he found his memory
at last capable Of embracing every sub
ject that was brought before it, and his
own long sorrow was turned into inst
joy.
For such revolution in the mind of a
child, it will not be easy to account
He was not idle, and though playful,
never wished to indulge this disposition
at the expense of instruction-his own
felt incapacity was most oppressive
burden; and the anguish of his heart was
evinced by the tears which ollen flowed
from his eyes. Reproof and punishment
produced neither change nor good, for
there was nothing to be corrected TO
which they could apply. Threr'enings
were equally anavailing, because there
was no wil(ul indispostion to study and
application; and the fruitless desire to
learn, showed at least the regret Of the
want Of ability, for the acquisition OF
which, he would have been willing TO
have made any kind of sacrifices.
AT least this ability was strangely ac-
quired, but not by slow degrees; there
was no conquest or inaplitude and dull
ness, by persevering and gradual con-
fliet; the power seemed generated in a
moment, and in moment, there was a
transition from darkness to light, from
mental imbecilty, to intellectual visor,
and no means nor excitements, were
b, ought into operation, but those men
toned above. The reproaches of his
school fellows, were the sparks which
fell on the .gunpowder, and inaamed il
instantly. The nhammable matter was
there before, but the spark was wanting
This would be proper subject for the
discussion of those who write on the
philosophy of the human mind.
This detail has been made the more
particularly, because he ever consider,
ed it as one of the most important cir.
cumstances in his life; and he has otter
mentioned it as singular Providence
which gave strong characteristic col
oring to lis subsequent life.

A Warning we'll Taken.

When l began business, was a great
politician. My masters shop had been
a chosen place for political discussion:
and there, ! suppose, ] acquired nv
iondness for such debates. For the first
year, had too much to do and to think
about, to indulge my propensity for poll
tics; but after getting little ahead in
the world, began to dip into these mat
ters again. Very soon l entered as
deeply into newspaper argument, rs if
my livelihood depended or it; my shop
was often filed with loungers, who came
TO canvass public measures; and now
and then l went into n y neighbors' hou-
ses on similar errand. This encroach-
ed on my time, and found it necessary
sometimes to work till midnight, tpmake
up for the hours lost One night, af-
ter my shutters were closed, and | was
busiIy employed, some little urchin who
was passing the street, put his mouth to
the key hole Of the door, and with a
shrill pipe called out "Shocmaker, shoe
maker, work by night, and run about by
day" "And did YOU" inquired the
friend, "pursue the boy with your stir
rup, to chastse him for his insolence"
"No, no." replied Mr.. Drew; chad a

not have been more dismayed or con-

The Mind Awakened.

DR.. ADAM CLARKE, in his Autobiography,
gives the following account Of his earliest mental
efforts. lie speaks of himself in the third person
He employed two whole days, and a
part of the third, in fruilless endeavors to
commit to memory, two lines, with their
construction, Of what appeared to him
useless and ineomprehensible jargon.-
His distress was indescribable, and he
watered his book with his tears at last
he laid it by, with broken heart, and
in utter despair of ever being able to
make any progress. He took up an En-
glish Testament, sneaked into an En-
glish class, and rose with them to say a
lesson. The master, perceivng it, said
in terrific tone, "Sir, what brought you
here where is your Latin Grammar?'-
He burst into tears, and said with a pit
eous tone, | cannot learn it. He had
now reason to expect all the severity Of
the rod: but the master, getting little
moderate, perhaps moved by his tears,
contented himself with saying, "Go, sir,
and take up your grammar: if you do
not speedily get that lesson, shall pull
your ears as long as Jowler's "a great
dog belonging to the premises, } and you
shall be beggar to the day Of your
DEATH" These were terrible words,
and seemed to express the sentence of a
ruthless and unavoidable destiny. He
retired and sat down by the side of a
young gentleman with whom he had
been IN class, but who unable to lag be-
hind with his duness, requested to be
separated, that he might advance by
himself. Here he was received with
the most bitter taunts, and poignant in
suits. "What, have you not learned
that lesson yet? o what a stupid asst
You and began together: you are now
only in As in present., and / am in Syn
tax" and then, with cruel mockings
began TO repeat the last lesson he had
learned. The effect of this was aston.
ishing--young Clarke was reused a.
from lethargy; he felt as he expressed
himself, as if something had broker
within him; his mind in a moment wa.
all light. Though he felt ndescribabl,
mortified, he did not feel indignant; what
said he, in himself, shall | ever be ,
Ounce, and the butt of those fellows in
suits! He snatched up his book, in {
few moments committed the lesson {,
memory, got the construction speedily
went up and said it without missing
word!-took up another lesson, nc quiret
it almost Immediately, said this also with
7 out blemish, and in the course of tha
day, wearied the master with his so of
! ten repeated returns to say lessons; an,
committed TO memory all the Latin yer
ses, with their English construction, il
which heavy and tedious Lilly has de
scribed the four conjugations, with thei
rules, exceptions, &c. &c. Nothing lik
