And how is she doing it? Not by wise words
in the form OF direct instruction mot by her

What then? 1t is by her uever-tring cheerful
ness or at least chiefly so.
How is this cheerulness shown or manifested?
To answer this question fully would DC to give
the whole history Off day. need not only say
that her countenance always wares smile. an
unaffected one, too, when she meets him; that
her every word or action corresponds to the feel
ings indicated by her countenance. Every Thing
she says or does in his presence warns his heart,
and inspires hope. And to inspire hope is TO
reform and make happy.
Above all, does she perform he angelic task

he finds not only the lighted window and the
blazing hearth, but the still more cheering hight

He can scarcely feel a want Of food, drink, or
repose, which is not fully anticipated, and for
which provision is not made in tho most happy
manner. Who that IS perpetually cheered by
those whom he tendcrly loves, can help being
cheerful? Who can help smiling, that is con-

Had Alexis married any other than Amelia, oil

every other respect, it is doubtful whether he
would have made the industrious man he now
is. Nay, more there is every reason to believe
he would have gone 'down Hip with velocity
far greater than that with which he is now mo-
wing upwards.
Amelia has saved him. She has led him
through kind and mcrcitul providence, into the
right way. His path. if it be not that of the just

In the works of Charles Lamb, is the suboInot
trhng and graphic description of person in the
fast stages Of Consumption. 1t is taken from
"Lines composed at Midnight:"--
"Those are the meanings of the dying man,
Who lies in the upper chamber: restless means,
And interrupted only by cough
Consumptive, torturing the wasted lungs
So in the bitterness of death he lies,
And waits in anguish for the morning. light
What can that do for him, or what restore?
Short taste, faint sense, affecting notices,
And little images of pleasures past
vi health and active life-health not yet slain.
On his tedious bed
He writhes and turns him from the accusing light
And finds no comfort in the sun, but says
"When night comes, shall get little rest
Some few groans more, and then an end.

ANEcDoTE OF JOHN RANDOLPH. During one
of the debates in the Senate Of the United States
on Mr. Cahoun's resolutions, Mr. Clay related the
following interesting anecdote respecting the late
John Randolph of Roanoke:
"NIr Clay continued by referring to what MIR
Calhoun had said touching the compromise, and
to his illusions to Mr. Randolph. MIR Clay said
that he most sincerely amented the death OF the
distinguished Virgnian, but since al!tson had
been made to him in connection with the com
promise act Of Missouri, he felt bound to say that
the part MIR Randolph took in that controversy
came nearer dissoving the Union and shaking it
to its centre than any thing that had been done
since that day to the present moment. lie well
remembered that exciting and fearful controver-
sy. 1t was fearful moment, and one that threat
ened the dissolution of all that was dear to the
friends Of the Union.
Upon one occasion, said Mr. Clay, while vas
Speaker of the House. during the night session,
tho cXhalations from one of the lamps had caIls-
ed one of the members to faint. He was taken
to the rear of the Hall. | called some one to
take my place, and left tho chair 10 learn the
character and extent Of the illness Of tho men,
Der who had tainted. In returning 10 the chair
I was met by Ilr Randolph, whom had not be
fore seen to speak to for several weeks. 81 wish,
said Mr. Randolph to me, ''you would leave Con
gress and go TO Kentucky. l will follow you
there or any where else" well understood
what he meant Tor many OF the SouhGrU mem
bers had seriously discussed at that moment the
propriety Of leaving Congress and the city, and
returning TO their homes. told MIR Randolph
had no time 10 converse with him then but re-
qucsted him TO call on me at the Speakers room
next morning. In accordance with his usual
panctnality he came, and We spent an hour i'll
conversaiion-he pressing his point and mine
he arguing in favor Of making no compromise
upon any consideration, and | defending the act
of compromise so long rs we made 10 cOmpro-
mise of principle. We argued the question an
hour, and separated after shaking hands and
promising to be good friends We never met

Friends of the poor and parcntless,
A tale of sorrow hear,
1 bear not long this keen distress,
know my end is near.
Hast thou of parents been berett!
once had parents kind;
Butthey have gone and early left
Their orphan boy behind.
Gone, but not on the wings of time
Down to the dark deep grave,
Nor to some distant sun-burnt clime
On deep Atlantic's wave,
Gone, but not to some rich mans feast
To be a welcome guest;
Nor to some tar-famed land to taste
The sweets Of Freedom rest.
A man, think they call'd him so,
Came to our house one day,
And SAID my parents both must go,
Far South, with him, away,
They groaned, they wept, never saw
Their anguish half so great;
The man was stern, and said the law
Could not its force abatc.
1 asked if us he could not let,
Lifc's ills together stem,
All other friends l might forget,
But friends as dear as them.
But no; his heart was hard and cold,
No streams of love were there.
lie knit his brow and bid me hold
My unavaing prayer
My parents went; what robbery this,
The wreck of all my joy;

From their Inflated boy.

Till we all strike redemption's song
On Heavens unlettered shore.

OF hope, of life and fame;
My grief, sometimes think, would check
Ambitions highest fame.

No rich redecming grace?
