Professional kfc.-The ambition of adj
opting professional life" of all kinds, at
the present day, is the source of countless
instances oi misery. Every profession in
England is overstocked; not merely the
prizes are beyond the general reach, but
the merest subsistence becomes difficult.
The three black graces. law, physic. and
divinity" are weary of their innumerable
worshippers, and yearly sentence crowds
oil them to perish of the aching sense oil
failure. A few glitering successes allure
the multitude; chancellorships, bi,hoprlcs,
and regiments figure before the public eye,
and every aspirant from the cottage, and
the more foolish parents of every aspirant,
set down the bauble as gained when they
have once plunged their unlucky offspring
into the sea of troubles which men call the
world. But thousands have died Of broken
hearts in these pursuits, thousands would
have been happy behind the plough, OF
opulent behind the counter; thousands in
the desperate struggles of ihankless pro-
LESSONS, look upon the simplicity of lite
Of manual labor with perpetual envy; and
thousands, by worse fate still, are driven
to necessities which degrade tine principle
of honor within them TO humiliating modes
of obtaining subsistence, and make up, by
administering to the vices of society, the
livelihood which was refused to their legti-
mate exertions. Blackwood. 4a as.lJ 2.

his mothers grave.

Having been fairly installed, he began

leaving his company he rushed through the

and prosecuted her husband during his life
This indignant -ebuke and "cul direct

"FEAR NOT, FOR l AM WITH THEE"

When wandering tiro' lfes wilderness,
Where horns and briers beset our seet,
find whersoe'er we seek path,
We still some unseen danger meet;
What hope can cheer the dropping heart,
And bid each sorrow be forgot
Tark! It's Fathers voice that speaks
Lo! am with thee-fear thou not.
Our suns bright beams are yelled in clouds,
And darkness gathers round our path
find the forked llghtning's flaming tongue
Foretells the elemental wrath
Loud peals of thunder rend the heaven
Rising above is roar, we hear
That gentle, soothing voice proclaim,-
yet am with thee-never fear.
When loves fond ties by death are severed,
When earthly pleasures droop and die,
When health, and hope, and joy are fled,
And like the hues o. evening sky,
Our early friendships fade away,
How sweet upon the mourner's ear
In gentlest, kindest accents fall, ...
Trust in thy G od; 10! am here.
When on the verge of life we stand,
find view before deaths rayless vale,
7hro' which the disemboded soul
Must pass, ere it can reach the pale
OF Heaven, how doth the spirit shrink,
find dread to meet each dark ming i'll:
I hat voice the trembling faith restores,-
Fear not, for am with thee still. II.
