THE LITTLE ROY.
A PATHETIC SKETCH.


The reliance which the heart places in
childhood upon a mothers love, can only
be surpassed by that trust which piety, in
ripper years, reposes upon its God. There
is no apprehension that cannot be lulled
in the refuge afforded by amother's arms,
nor is there any anguish that cannot be
mitigated when the heart reposes upon
her bosom.
This is true, it is topic upon which
much has been said, and that too by some
of the most forcible and elegant writers;
yet it is subject in the elucidation of
which no eulogy can transcend. Neith-
er the poet nor the painter can give to
their delinea!ions the brilliancy of the
diamond, so a mothers love and the con-
sequeDt trust of her child, are among
those strong features of nature which no
panegyric can perfectly portray. 1t is in
allusion to mothers love, that the Al
mighty commends to US a mindfulness of
his own absolute affection. How deeply
wretched then, must that child be, who
in an hour Of suffering turns in vain to
the refuge which nature ordinarily rem
ders the stronger, because Of the feeble
ness of the one who needs the succor.
These reflections were strongly forced
upon my mind some time since, upon my
being requested by an afflicted father to
accompany him to his dwelling, for the
purpose of administering Christian bap-
tism to his little son. When entered
the room, found the mother weeping over
the child, who appeared to be scarcely
six years of age, though / afterwards as
certained he was nearly nine. He had
full fair face, and a fine black eye
He was in every respect a beautiful boy.
| soon perceived that his eyes we're fix
ed, and he was entirely regardless feve-
ry thing around him, while death could
not be distant. His mother Informed me
that he had been very healthy and ac-
tive child, until he was about FIVE years
of age; since that time, nearly four years,
he had scarcely grown any, nor had he
ever spoken. 81 have always" contin-
ued the mother, " from my earliest years,
been filled with horror upon hearing
thunder, Often have gone through the
house in the greatest dismay, seeking to
hide myself where | might not perceive
the lightning, nor hear the thunder; |
knew it was all foolishness in me, but
yielded to my fears.
"One afternoon about four years ag5,
| was alone with my little boy, when
heavy storm arose, and was affrighted at
the sound Of the thunder. Taking the
child by the hand, | ran trembling and
weeping from one corner of the room to
the other, until almost frantic, sat down
and pressed my child to my shuddering
bosom. A dreadful clap of thunder peal
ed above us, and gave fearful shrek.
| felt the convulsiVe pressure of his faee
to my bosom, and while the lightning was
still cleaning through the room, turned
up his face. His eyes we're fixed, and
from that day he has never spoken, while
he has only lived TO wander through our
house a little maniac, nor has he ever
known me since he was distracted by his
mothers fears" A few days after this
recital, we laid the corpse in grave 10
which he was the victim of a mothers
terror.-ReU. J. Kennady.

RECEIPT FOR CURING A WART.--A
person who had tried various means with

carrot, mixing the same with salt, and
applying the mixture fresh TO the excres-

six applications cured it. And there are
thousands of persons troubled with these
disagreeable things, who are very anxious
to remove them, and as the remedy is ex-

ing, but even Of seeing one of the rob-
bers, whose arquebuses from behind
rocks, or the shelter Of forests and thick
cts, bad so sure an aim.
Six months passed-the soldiers we're
worn out. The Spanish officer, who first
led them on the useless hunt, was dead
in consequence of wound received from
the robbers. Winter approached, which
is felt in all its rigUr on the lofty bleak
mountains Of the Abruzzi; the commits
saries with their men, on the other side,
had long since returned to their homes at
Rome; and the Viceroy'S people now
went to theirs at Naples.
After these transactions, Marco Solar
ro was deemed all but invincible: his
fame. sung in some dozen of ballads,
strengthened his prestige in the eyes of
the peasantry: his band was reinforced,
and he was left to reign a King, at least
of the Abruzzi and undisturbed for many
months.
1t was about this time that the robber-
chiefs life was ornamented with its
brightest episode. Marco and his merry
men had come suddenly on a company
Of travellers on the road between Rome
and Naples. The robbers had begun
to plunder, and had cut the saddle-girlhs
OF the mules and horses of the travellers,
who had speedily obeyed The robbers or
der, and lay fiat on the earth, all save
one, man of striking and elegant ap.
pearance.
"Faccia in terror!" +" cried several Of
the robbers in the same breath, but the
bold man, needless at their menaces, only
stepped up TO Marco, their chief, and
said, am Torquato Tasso. " "The
poel!" said the robber, and he dropped
on his knee, and kissed his hand; and not
onl ly was TassO saved from being plum
dered by the mere mention Of his name,
but all those who were travelling with
him were permitted to mount their hor-
ses and continue their journey without
sustaining the loss of single scudo. A
very curious proof this, that a captain of
banditt could form a juster and more
generous notion of what was due TO the
immortal, but then unfortunate poet, than
could Princes ofroyal or imperial lienage.

place on the Seth ult., says the Philadel-
phia Chrincle, in one Of the witness rooms
adjoining that of the Grand Jury of the
Court Of General Sessions, between
Banks, the burglar and bigamist, and his
seven wives. The mother of Banks was
also present. The scene was both anus
ing and interesting. Banks sat surround
ed by his many better halves, perfectly
unmoyed, chatted and laughed freely and
heartily with them all, and really seemed,
particularly to his first wife, quite afiec-
lionate. From his conversation, too, it
appeared that he actually looked upon
his situation as one envlable in The ex-
treme. His mother stood by his side,
scarcely once turned her eyes from him,
and acted as ifhighly delighted and proud
of such son.

"Lovs thy nsighbor as thyself"
Our hearts, it is said, are like fountains,
Whence waters of love ever flow;
Like brooks coming down from the mountains,
Togladden the valleys below.
Oh! the bright paths Of life are made brighter,
Andhappiness no more dream;
For the waytarer's step grows the lighter,
The Of'nsr he quaffs Of tho stream.
Our joy shall not torn into sorrow,
As onward the glad waters fee;
What to-day is brook--on the morrow
Ispart Of the fathomless sea. ALI.

SAVE ME FROM NY FRIRNDs.-A late

of dangerous experiment, which had

"The owner of fine Newfoundland
dog, walking the other day on the south

qualities of the animal, and the certainty
OF his saving man from drowning, which
his companion doubted. When they had
reached that part of the ietty which is
unprotected by any parapet, the master
OF the dog pushed his iacredulous friend
INTO the outer basin, where the water was
deep though calm. The dog justified the
praises of his master, and Instantly plum.
ged after the fallen man, seized him by
the coat, and was bringing him safe to
shore, when another dog Of the same spe-
cies, which happened 10 be on the north
Jetty, saw what was going on, and deter

lie plunged in, seized another portion of
the drowning mans coat; but as the re-
spective masters of the two dogs we're at
opposite points, they pulled in opposite
directions, till two portions Of the coat
were torn of, and carried by the dogs to
their owners, leaving the real object of
their endeavOrs to his fate. This would
have been inevitable, had not his kind
friend, who fortunately was good swim

The balmy, blossom breathing airs,
Smell Of future plumS and pears.
The sunshine Of our waking,
Is still found smiling by,
With beamingness aud earnestneIl,
Like some beloved eye;
And all the day it seems to take
Delight in being wide awake.
The lasses in the gardens,
Show forth their heads Of hair,
With rosiness and lightsomenes',
A chasing here and there;
And they'll hear the birds, and stand,
And shade their eyes with lifted hand.
And then again they're Of there,
As if their lovers came,
With giddiness and gladsomeness,
Like doves but newly tame -
And light your cheeks at Nature, do,
And draw tho whole world after you.
