eloquent manner to do tue same. The one appears to my mind to be key to the o,h- CT; keeping up perfect consistency in all their lessons. If the scriptures enjoin any moral lesson, we see an cxemplification Oi its benefits in some objects of naturO.- The first teaches us to love one another ; the second shows us that in every portion of the animal creation, this is manifested among the different species of the creatures blest with an existence and preserved by Him who "openelh his hand and satis6eth the desire ofevery living things" and so of every truth contained in the scriptures.
 Let us, then, as we behold the beauties of fspring-lhe re-animation of the trees of the forest, and the flowers of the field view them as type of our existence, re- men'bering the great lesson they teach, that though Sour days be as grass," that though. we be withered by time, and be trodden under foot of men. the spring of ftheresur= rection shall come, when we shall $ be- clothed upon with more beautiful body" which shall not be subject to decay or death. May I, may you, friendly reader, study more and more the beauties of spring, and never forget the lesson it imparts.

SPRING.

Springs budding fowers-the shrouded night
 The soft-sublime rich. the rare
 Point upwards to yon realms ot light,
 And tell each heart, that God IS there."
 How cheering the approach of this sea- son of the year! Winter, which spreads desolation and decay, and presents to US the evidence that all things possessing life must fade, and die, like the leaves which fall alike from the sturdy oak and the tender herb-winter, with its almost cheerless and monotonous scenes, is about passing away, and spring, smiling spring. to take the place thereof. And what change! The bleak and bowling northwest wind gives way to the gentle zephyr; the fields, which have looked like desolation's self, are clad in living green, the groves. which were cloth ed by nought but the sleet and snow. are now clad in the livery of the l" floral apos- ties of nature," and resound with the notes of thousand feathered choristcrs! Nor is this all. Every countenance is the en- blem of joy and delight dances in every eye. Business, which had almost ceased, has again commenced, and hustle and ac- tivity becomes the order of tho day.

TEMPERANCE HYMNR.

tRg Gt the meeting of the Litckfeld County Temp Gnce Society on ThesGcy Iast, June H. Saviour of Israel at whose voice Nations arise and sink to dust, Here, with our sons, we own our choice Temperance our VOW, and God our trust. Whilst judgments waste this guilty land. And luxury's sons by thousands fall, Our Temperance ranks unhurt shall stand Secure, as cheer'd by Heavens call. Our children and their offspring bless, And Temperance on the heart engrave, ; In love and truth-since from distress, 'Tis thine to succor, thine to save. THs standard !Oh in every age, dts waving folds by thee unfurl'd,) Though vice allure, though passion rage, Shall shine in beauty OCT the world. Cry alOud-yea, cry and spare not, Watchmen, loud the trumpet blow; Hmy statutes ye declare not,
 With Gods foes ye too must go;
 Their transgression
 To the house of Jacob show. In their feasts they seek their pleasures, Pampering each their lustful souls, Chaunting to voluptuous measures, Drinking wine in costly bowls,
 While unheeded,
 Zion's anguish OCT them rolls. Wo to him that tempts his neighbor, Bids his lips the chalice drain, Then extorts his wasting labor, Hoarding up the bloody gain.
 Let not Moloch
 Longer joy OCT victims slain.

BEAUTIFUL SfMILE.

EAs
 We never behold young and lovely fe- males tending flowers, that we are not struck with the great appropriateness of the association. Pure and un,ainted by the vices of the world, they are the proper guardians and fitting protectors of the em- blems of the loyeliness and virtues of which they are the living Repositories. In the spring ofexistence, their moral and in- tellectual endowments are jdst budding and shooting forth, whilst their. physical charms are growing into that state ofmlured grace and perfect fitness, which is to cause them to be loved and admired. Their feelings are in all their freshness, unscathed by tho chilling influence of disappointed hopes of unrequited affection, and manifest them- selves with an ardor unchecked by the dic- tates of jealous prudence, or tie wary sug- gestions of calculating, selfprotecting in- terest. For them, to think is to give utter ance to their thoughts, and to feel is to give form and expression to their motions, with q guileless simplicity. unconscious of the possibility of misconstfuctioD, and fearless, because unsuspicious, of ill-natured n,isap. prehension. In the blosson,ing flower may be seen the exquisite tinls oftheir own fair- ness and beauty-in the natural tastefulness of the arrangement of its leaves and spread ing shoots, emblems of their own heaven born graces. Whilst like them they arc lovely beyond expression, like them must they bloom for the appointed season, and like them decline into the scar and yellow leaf of existence. To both the term of be. ing is short. and exposed to infinite vicissi- tudes. The breath of the north wind may, ere long, scatter before it the yet young and tender beauties of the one, or the scorching rays of the mid-day's sun cause them to shrivel and to be trodden under foot, whilst of the other, all the charms and budding promise may be destroyed by the rutiaIl whisper ofa censorious world, CT the blight ing influences of passions unrestrained.--- Fair and fragile alike, it is proper they should accompany one another; and happy it is for her, who learns from snch eompan- ionship, how exquisiiely beautiful and how unspeakably delicate is female loyeliness, which, to be preserved, must be guarded with moro than miser's care.- Davidge.

 do not wish to boast, father,' said Louisa, modestly; but when MT. Random gave me my last lesson, he said-'
 What did he say ? asked MT. Simons encouragingly.
 He said,' answered Louisa, blushing more deeply that I was better account- ant than most merchants. And l do be- lieve, father,' continued she, earnestly, that if you would allow me, could assist you
 MT. Simons smiled sadly, but to encour- age her desire of usefulness, opened his accounts. Insensibly he found his daugh- ter following him in tho labyrinth of num- bers.
 Louisa with fixed look and clear eye, the cheek kindling with interest, and her pencil in her hand listened to him. Mrs. Simons entered on tiptoe and seated her. self softly at her sewing. The accounts became more and more complicated. Mr.. Simons, with his practised habits, and Louisa with her quick intellect and ready will, followed them up with fidelity. The unexpected sympathy of his daughter gave him new life. Time flew unheeded, and the clock struck twelve.
 Wife, said he suddenly, matters are not as desperate as feared if this girl gives me few more hours like these.I shall be in a new world.'
 My beloved child ? said Mrs. Simons. pressing Loaisa's fresh cheek to hers. ! Louisa retired, commended herself to God, and slept profoundly. The next morning, after again seeking His blessing, she repaired to her father ;. and again, day after day, with unsiring patience, went throughthe details of his books, copied the accounts in a fair hand, nor left him until his brow was smoothed, and the phantom of bankruptcy had disappeared.
 A day passed by, and Louisa looked scontemplative and absorbed, at length she said
 Father you complain that you cannot afford another clerk at present. You have tried me, and find me worth something. will keep your books until your affairs are regulated. and you may give mo little sal- ary to furnish shells for my cabinet
 Mr. Simons accepted her offer with caress and smile. Louisa's cabinet in- Creased in value; and the beautiful female handwriting in her fathers books was subject ofinterest and curiosity in his mer- cantile friends.
 And from whence, as year after year wealth poured in its thousand luxuries, and Louisa Simons stood dispensing pleasures to the gay, and comforts to the poor, did she trace her happiness2 To early self conquest.-INe Violet.
