POPULAR sN0TIONS.e
BY DOW, JR.

The age Of witches is not yet passed.
The good old customs and notions
of our grandma's, and great grand
mas, are still acknowledged and OBJ
served by US, the children of the nine
teenth century To deviate from, or
disbeliere in any ofthese philosophical
notions, would have deprived many a
one of adesirable heirship, and the an
athemas Of the whole race of old wo-
man would have fallen upon the head
of the hereto, with far more force than
ever accompanied those, hurled from
the vatican, during the days of the
Gregones! But an estate atthe present
time is a scarce encumbrapce, and as a
matter, perfectly consistent with the
neural order of affairs, heretics to these
notions have increased most rapidly.
These horrid ideas are instilled into
u.s. from the earliest periods Of our be-
ing.-We are hushed by them, long
before we are able to crawl from the
cradle. We are made "better chill
dren'' by their magic influence during
our entire residence in the nursery; and
our boyhood receives from their inhu-
ence hue which leaves an impress
upon our characters, incapable of being
erased, even by the corroding touch Of
time.
Dreams constitute one division of
these notions. We do not intend to
discuss them philosophically, or seri-
nusly: nor do we propose to assign any

beauty in creation which she had hith-
erto passed by-that the eloquent
psalm of the King of Israel, or the
glowing fenyor of the prophet has sent
her out by night to see the Heavens
that s'deelare his glory and ponder
the "sweet Influence Of Pleiades p and
that every created thing has assumed
an interest to her, reminding her con-
stantly of Him who made the eegoodly
wings Of the bird,'' aad "clothed the
neck Of the horse with thunder.o New
and delightful thoughts are given her
which while away her care, and as she
dwells less upon the low and degrading
images of her lot, ard more upon the
beautiful contemplations of her Bibles,
an imperceptible refinement is wrought
within her, and the narrowing and de-
pressing tendency Of her employmen.s
efectually counteracted.
There is peculiar tranquility in re-
ligion which unquestionably lengthens
life. The wear of violent passions,
even the common one of anger, upon
the system, is too obvious to need
proof; and the excuses of the more
deadly need still less Of comment. The
precepts ofpiety bear particularly upon
such indulgencies. The distinctive
feature Of Christianity is lis forgive
ness to enemies. and the whole bearing
of its morality is to nourish the kindly
sympathies Of our nature, and make
the stream of Common feeling flow
calm and even. This is so true that it
is almost test of his religious sinceri-
ty. have never seen an exemplary
Christian whose countenanee did not
wear that winning calmness which be-
tokens inward peace and heart tenn
nered with universal love. There is
spirit of violent sectarianism abroad
whish passes with some for zeal, but
which enlists too much. earthly passion
and stamps upon the features Of it's
harsh gravity too indica-
tive Of inward violence to be the result
of piety. We are so constituted that
the tenor of feeling may be read in the
countenance, and as in old musicians the
eye is always peculiarly liquid, from
constant pleasurable sensation, SO in re-
hgion, the. sincere and loving disciple
of his Masters mild attributes is dis
by his serenity and gen.
tleness. I had an impression when
child that none but beautiful women
brought up their infants for baptism
1t was the maternal look that had won
upon ny boyish fancy. The baptismal
moment to the Christian mother is too
tender an interest not to call out the full
lest expression Of love; and the moist,
uplifed eye, and the look Of beseech-
ingness and trust which almost always
accompany that touching ceremony,
affect me to this day indescribably.-
This tranquilizing influence is another
proof of the wonderful adaptedness Of
religion to our common need. | have
no doubt that years are added to the
life by its temper of repose. The=inti-
mate connexion of mind and body re-
dueeit to a certainty, that the peculiar
quiet of a heart governed by its mild
precepts, must be like medicine to
the @springs of health" The e'silver
cordo is not so soon loosed, and the
9oolden bowP' so soon broken.

THE POETRY OF HUMBLE
LIFE.

How few. and there are afew, who
are contented to live tran9uilly-to
move thro' life with moderate and
equable motion. And this is not be-
cause they are either dull of apprehen-

quick, they not only see and hear, but
feel all that is around them.-Blest with
an inherent love of truth, they are able
to discern the truly valuable in all
