HOMEWARD BOUND.

HOMEWARD BOUND.
"Dulcis rcminisci,ur argos - Virgil.
Aye! spread the sail we're homeward bound
And gally DER the waters dancing,
The spray in diamond showers around
From every ripping wavoet's breast,
From every curling pillows crest,
Is brightly in the sun-bcams gIancing
Where through the brine our prov is dash
ing,
A thousand rainbow-hues arc beamng;
While past our sides with ftlul cleaning,
Broad sheets of snow-whtc foam are flash
ing.
What though for many a weary night
For many a wild and stormy day,
By fierce gales driven or famed by light,
Der ocean lies our tracklcss way;
Yet onward still through foamng surge,
Or summer seas our barque shall urge
Fearless her swift career;
And whose the heart that does not burn
Within him at the glad return
TO all he holds most dear
As ardent Hope enlivening throws
Her brightest colors Ger its close,
And whispers joys by Love in store
TO soothe the tcmpest-worn on shore.
O! sweet, when falls the deepening gloom
OF night, to meet the fond caress
The fresh trimmed fire, the cheerful room,
The Looks rcplcte with tenderness,
And all The nameless charms of home
Which soon this ycarning heart shall bless,
When bidding glad farewell to care,
For sunny smiles that wait me there!
We're homcwayd bound, we're homeward
bound
Those words are like amagic spell
A witchery is in their sound,
The eyile's tongue alone can tell;
They conjure up in visions bright
The scenes of many past delight
And youthful lrolc mild;
The verdant fields where erst in glee
With bounding step and spirit free
A happy, sinless child
loved long summer days to rove
Seeking wild flowers, the shadowy grove,
Far in whose may depths strayed
Needless of stle and pathway crossed,
Or on the green moss idly laid,
In widering day-dreams lost;
Till startled by the jays shril cry
Ringing from some tall pine tree nigh
As on It's topmost quiyering height
lie perchcd to plume his pinons light -
The broad blue lake, whose placid breast
The bordering hazcls bent to kiss,
Where the lone pickcrel at rest
Laid floating motonless,
The clear cascade where joyously
| launched my tiny ship to sea,
And steered it through the lroh and foam
Till safe from wreck it hoatcd home
The rustic bridge, the quaint old mill,
The elm tree moving DER the ill
And white walled cottage on the hill,
Just as they seemed Of yorc.

TO MOTHERS AND NURSES.


The passage Of The Teeth through the gums
produces troublesome and dangerous symptoms.
Ii is known by mothers that there is great i'm
tation IN the mouth and gums during this pro-
cess. The gums swell. the secretion Of saliva
is increased. the child is seized with frequent
and sudden fits OF crying, watching, starting in
the sleep, and spasms of peculiar parts; the
child shries with extreme violence, and 'hrusts
its fingers into its mouth. If these precursory
symptoms are no, speedily aleviated. sPasmod-
ic couvulsIons universally supeTene. and soon

ers have their little babes afflicted with these
distressing symptoms, they should apply Dr.

THE PRINTER.

The private griefs' of each one, are best
known to himself. This is unquestionably that
each one thinks his own the heaviest and the
cause Of so little sympathy among mankind
Every department of life has its cares and per-
plexitles and no doubt exists that they are not
pretty fairly apportioned among them
The merchant thwarted by wind or wave
perplexed by the fluctuations of the market,
and ruined by misplaced credit and failures,-
thinks no place so trying as his own
The physician is liable to be called and dis
turbed at all times and seasons his repose is
broken, and his health is exposed he has to
ward off from his patients, the shafts of prac-
tised and " insatiate archer;" and if he be not
always successful the doom of all flesh is
forgotten, and his failure ascrbed to his want of
skill
The preacher is grieved and disheartened
in vain efforts to make impressions on the fro
zen and stubborn soil of the human heart as he
terms it..
The Lawyer is required to make white ap-
pear black, or he is no lawyer at all.
The schoolmaster becomes jaded, and per-
picked to the bone with spoiled children, and
with saving wood with a mallet, and sighs in
his soul for some other troubles.
The printer-what has he to do but to print
and pocket money Dear reader, you know but
little of his case, or of the woes that press him
down His griefs have often been groaned
forth but there are thousands that are unwrit-
ten,' and imprinted, We will not attempt to
enumerate them-they are, more numerous
than the types in his case. There are some
however, which if known and understood by the
community, might lead to mitigation. We will
cite an example for illustration. well minded
neighbor comes into our office just as the paper

ing bricks and mortar for elbow room of aspa-
cious farm house---the dust of atown for vii
lage---the three story brick house for the gran
ary or the hay-cock---for the purest air Of
heaven, the atmosphere of a thousand un-
wholesome smoky houses, and ten thousand
unwholesome breaths How could farmer
make such choice as this We would pause
for reply, did we nat know that the only an
swer which could be devised after a long stu
dy, would be the unsatisfactory one that some-
thing better was anticipated only, for it would
be miracle; almost, for man to find him
self happier or in better circumstances after a
change of residence from a country to city.
No, no. The true elysiun, the real paradise on
earth is the country, the green, fertile, beauti-
full country. The city for the task-master and
his hard-working servant /; but the country for
the man who wishes for health and leisure,
contentment and long life.
The ancient Romans venerated the plough,
end at the earliest, purest time Of the Repub-
lie, the greatest praise which could be given
to an ilustrious character was a judlclous and
industrious husbandman.

consequently not single moment shold be losf
Sensible men know how to make the most
time, and put out their whole sum either to \
terest or pleasure they are never idle, BIS
continually employed either in amusement or

that laziness is the inheritance of fools, and
nothing can be so despicable as sluggard.

in his hour of mirth And when | saw that
no man who had loved the beauty Of the rose

it grew, and my soul received instruction.
