TASTE FOR READING.

II il were TO pray for taste which
should stand me in stead under every
variety of circumstances, and be
source of happiness and cherlulness to
me through life, and Shield against
its ills, however things might 90 amiss,
and the world frown upon me, it would
be taste for reading. speak of it, of
course only as a worldly advantage,
and not in the slightest degree snper-
seding or derogating from the highcr
Office and suref and stronger panoply
of religious principlos-but as taste,
IN instrument. and a mode of plcasura-
bic gratItcaticn. Give a man this
taste, and the means Of gratifying it.,
and you can hardly fail of making q
happy ms.u, unless, indeed you puf into
ms hands most pcrverse selection of
books. You place him in contact with
the best society in every period of his
tory-with the wiscst, the wistiost-
with the tcndrcst, the bravcst, and the
purc5I characters who have adorned
humanity. You make him denizen
of all nations-a contemporary Of all
ages. The world has been created
from him. 1t is hardly possible but
the character should take higher and
better tone from the constant habit of
associating in thought with a class of,
thinkers, to say the least of it, above
the average of humanity. 1t is moral
ly impossible but thai the manners
shodld take tinge OF good breeding
civilization from having constantly be-
fore ones eyes the way in which the
best bred end the best informed men
have talked and conducted themselves
in their intercourse with each other.-
There is a gen.ie, bu. perfectly irrcsis-
tiblc, coercion in habit of reading
well detected, over the whole tenor OF
4 mans charactcr and conduct, which
is no: the | SIS cfIecllal because II works
insonSibly, and because it is really the
tst ching he dreams of. II tivilizns
Inc conduct Of men, and suffers them
not to remain barbarous.-Sir John

Mary! but little time h past
Since you and have met,
Still memory DER my Heart has cast
Its shadows of regret

To make me wish that time
Would fly till some bright happier hour,
Might let me call thee mine.
All! when from those we love we part,
Ofhope at least we'll borrow,
Twill! steal from mem'ry half its smart;
May we not meet to morrow.
But when, alas! time flies, and still
We mourn for those away
With sadder thoughts " i'll memry fill,
And chase each very day.
Midst natures shades think of thee,
IN pleasures halls the same,
In hcartlcss scenes of reyelry,
Still, still, breathe thy name.
Thy own sweet voice that charmed my car,
That soft and treasured tone,
I've thought that ang Is cen might hear
The echo Of their own.
I've gazed upon thy sparkling face
And thou hast turned away,
Thinking to hide single grace,
A single glorious ray.
But thoughts of thee can never fade,
They arc too pure and bright,
Can cold remembrance cast q shade
Der her own holy light.
ferAaps you'll say must not think
Or dwell upon thy name,
And yet TO me it is link
That calls the back again.
For, if thoughts Of thee be sin,
Oh may | be forgiven,
Or else how might hope to win
Ny only way to heaven.

Bereav'd Of all your Offspring dear;
Your sorrows move each feeling breast
And call for sympathy's soft tear.
But still there's noac can feel the pain.
Or realize its smar. bat you;
Once, and again. and still again,
The wounds Of sorrow bleed anew.
But thoagh affection yeu o'erwhsln,
And all is dreary--dark as night;

The winds and tempests as they blow;
And in His Gospel there's balm,
To heal our sorrow and our wo.

To cheer you with their opening charms,
Aud bless you with their playful smiles,
Theo took them back to His own arms.
Think not those lovely flowers Of time
Are blossoms, only for the tombj
But taken to a fairer cline,
To flourish in immortal bloom
o, happy babes forever blest,
From sin and suffering now set free;
Clothed in pure and spotless dress,
A dress thy Savior wrought for thee.
No mote they need their parents care,
For God will all their wants supply;
No more disease their frames impait,
Or cause their little breasts to sigh.
Ye mourning parents-loOk above.
Where sorrows tear is never knowni
Where the dear pledges of your love
have found their peaceful, happy home.
God grant that you may both improve
The heeting moments which are given,
And when your souls from earth remove,
Meet them, TO part no more in heaven.
