COUNTRY SCHOOL KEEPING.

Mr.. Prinier-Did you ever teach a
school? Ifyou have guess you would
rather set types: for it is a solemn fact,
that the schoolmaster Of IA country village
is the most miserable being on earth. =.
Though l never had the misfortune to
be engaged in the profession, not long
since visited the school of friend Of
mine in the country, and if ever there
was any thing which could approach
perception of Bedlam, it was this school,
l had just got fairly seated, when up
Jumps a Bedlamite, with "Master, Jo
House keeps er pinchin me-" "Jo, did
you pinch him," "No, say | didn't,
So CO e now, twas Bill Crimes, for l
seed him when he did it," "Bill what
did you pinch him ior?" "Koz he keeps
er crowdin." Then follows n severe
. hagelIation. Soon class OF little ones
is called up to read, and by the way any
friend, the master, was in the habit of
squirting. "What is thatp' "Thath
A-er." every well, what is the nexts"
w'deno thir." "That is B, you block
head" "B-er." "What is that ?"-
"Pdcno, thir." "What do ] do when l
look at you;' "Thquinter" "Nlas-
ter, Tom Rogues keeps maxim me laugh,
he, he, he" "Tom, come here--did
you make him IaughW "No sir."--
"Well take your seat" "Master, maint
I gwout to get smink?" "No, you will
all go out directly" "The class in the
spelling-book stand up to read--Zekiel,
begin" "B-a-k-e-r." "The next"
| "S-u-g-a-r." "What does that spell?''
"I'deno, SIR" "What does your moth.
er put in your tea?" "Lasses-er."-
"The next" "Marster, maint gwou
ter get s'mice to put in my trowsis, te
keep my nose from bleeding'" eyes

II is life, a majestic war horse neighed,

And feel my bosom with majesty swell,

Alternate acis of justice, and Of grace;
Yet though we bless the balm or mourn the smart,
All speak the mercy in our Fathers heart,
As good as lovely when we winter mourn,
As when the bright and breathing Spring is born.
As good us tender when our hearts are bent,
Like bruised reeds beneath Ills chastisement,
As when in Ills sweet gifts Of mercy blest,
Joy like Cherub broods upon the breast
All hail our Father. let whate'er beial,

And see the Nations live, and mourn, and die,
Sec Virtue how beneath the thong of pride!
And Sin in power Thy awful strength de-ide;
See thick and !ast the tears of misery fall,
And want in vain on hcariless avarice call;
See sordd man intent on self alone,
Interest the idol, aud his heart the throne.
The very name Of Virtue grown a scorn.
While Honor, Justice, Truth, and Mercy mourn
Oh GoD! even now when Reason hopes are fled
Faith, standing mid the dying aud the 1ead
Lifts up her piercing eye-and sees afar,
Far onward on its path, her morning Star!
She knows it mid the wild aud stormy rack,
by its full growing light and crimson track!
She falls and worships: Oh my Star. she cries,
Speed thy triumphant course arise! arise
Come, for the healing Of the Nations come,
And make this weeping earth thy heavenly hom'
Come sway Thy righteous scep,re-break OF

Oh Thou whose blessed right il is to reign.
Then shall the growth Of evils disappear,
And Angels hail the glad Millenial Year!
The earth cast out her bitter ,horns Of vice,
And bear the golden fruits of Paracise!
An air ambrosia o'er the world be thrown,
The breath Of love from the Rcdeemer's Thron
Consoling music through the air be heard,
And pardon dwell in each melodous word
Our sins, our sorrows, and our sufferings cease,
And Jesus voice shall breathe eternal peace
Oh ye, to whom such gracious hopes are give

Remember Him who gives you every joy,
And let your bounty glad the PRINTER's Bo
So shalt he Iili his little heart above,

WHAT Is LIFE

An eagle few up in his heav inward fight,
Far out Of the reach Of human sight,
And gazed on the earth from his lordly height
In the clouds Of the upper air.
And this is life, he cxaingy screams,
To soar without peer where the lightning CLEANS,
And look unblench'd d on the suns gorgeous beams.
And know of no narrowing care.
A lion leaped forth from his bloody bed,
And roar'd Till it seen,'d he would wake the dead
And man and beast from him trcmbinsly fled,
As though there was death in the tone;-
And this is life, he triumphantly cried,
To hold my domain in the forest wide,
Imprisoned alone by the oceans tide,
And the ice Of the frozen zone.
II is life, said a whale, to swim il the deep,
Der hills submerged and alb, ssea TO sweep,
Where the gods Of orean their vigils keep
In the fathomless gulf below
TO bask on the bosom Of tropic seas,
To inhale the fragrance Of Ceylon's breeze.
Or sport where the turbulent waters freeze.
In the cllnes Of eternal snow.
II is life, says tireless arbitross,
10 skim tbro' the air when the black waves tos:
In the storm that has swept the earth across,
And never wish for rest;-
To sleep on the breeze as it softly flies,
My perch in the air. my shelter The skies,
And build my nest on the pillows that rise,
