MOSES AT MERIBAH.
BY DARKER LAMB,


The Israee murmured in wrathful despair
And deep on his brow the burrows of care freed
While he sighed for the bonds he had mourned at ere
And repined at the travail the Lord had decreed.
ooh, why were the chariots of Egypt o'erthrown?
Oh, why spared the wild wave the bondsman alone ?
Il were better the tyrant had trampled us down
Ere the bllow had swept away sceptre and crown"
The Lord heard the children of Israel complain,
As they wept in their tents that were spread Der the
And his pillar Of cloud at the breaking of day, Iplan,
Slowly rolled from the camp of the desert away.
Then the trumpets of Isrea in notes bright and clear
Told tho mourners the time of their marching near;
And the prince and the ruler hied each TO his post,
To assemble the tribes, and 10 marshall the host;
And the tents were all struck, and the thousands
marched on,
While their sun gded weapons all gtringy shone
As the waves to the shore in their power roll in,
So mov'd their full ranks in the desert of lin.
There's shout in the wilderness startling and strong
And a waving of plumes of the gathering throng
FOR the word has been given TO hal in the plain,
And now Israel looks for release from her pain.
Then the favored of God, in the midst of the band,
Smiles the moss-covered rock with his mystical wand
And the waters gush forth MS enchantingy bright,
As the first beam of morn when springs from night
And the rebels fall down, for the glory of God
Shines round the dark rock when tits struck with the
But the heart Of the smiter beats not as of old rod
For the bright Land of Promise hell never behold.

THREE BAD HABITS.

There are three weaknesses in our habits
which are very common, and which have a very
preudcial influence of our welfare The first
is giving way to the ease or indulgence of the
moment, instead of doing at once what ought 10
be done. This practice almost dmnishes the
beneficial effects OF our actions, and often leads
US to abstain from action altogether; as, for in
stance, il at this season Of the year there is
CLEAN Of sunshine, of which we feel we ought
to take advantage, but we have not the resolu-
ton to leave at the moment comfortable seat
or an attractive occupation, we miss the most
favourable opportunity, and, perhaps, at last JUS
tify ourselves in remaining indoors on the
ground that the time for exercise is past. One
evil attendant upon the habit Of procrastinaton
is, that it produces certain dissatisfaction of
the mind which mpedes and deranges the ami.
NAL functions, and tends to prevent the attain
ment of high state of health A perception of
what is right, followed by promptness of exc.
cution, would render the way of life perfectly
smooth. Children should be told to do nothing
but what is reasonable, but they should be
taught to do what they are told at once. The
habit will stand them instead all their lives.-
The second weakness is, when we have made a
good resolution and have partially failed in exc.
cutting it, we are very apt to abandon it altogeth.
err. For instance, if a person who has been &C.
customed to rise at ten, resolves to rise at six,
and after few successful attempts, happens
to sleep till seven, there is great danger that he
will relapse into his former habit, or probably
even 90 beyond it, and lie till noon. 1t is the
same with resolutions as to economy or tenn
perance, or anything else; if we cannot do all
we intended or make one slip, we are apt to
give up entirely. Now, what we should aim at
| is, always TO do the best we can under existing
circumstances and then our progress, with the
exception of slight Interruptions would be con-
tinual. The third and last weakness to which
! allude, is the practice of eating and drinking
things because they are on the table, and espe-
cially when they are to be paid for. How sell
! dom it happens that two men leave a lew glas-
ses of wine in a decanter at coffee house,
though they have both had enough and the
consequence of not doing SO is frequently to or
der fresh supply; but at any rate, even the
first small excess is perncious Excess, how
ever slight, either IN solids of liquids, deranges
the powers of digestion, and of course diminish
es the full benefit of any meal. A very small
quantity will cause the difference between
spending the remainder of the day proftably or
agreeably, and in Incidence and dissipation

YANKEE PERSEVERANCE.

An tinerate map.seller went into a mer.
chants counting.ro room in Boston the other day.
and asked the occupant if he wished to purchase
a map. "No," was the tart reply. "Will you
look at one!' "No; have more of my own
than have time to examine 7" "Wil you al.
low me to look at yours then!" ayes; there
they hang" "Well, while am looking at
yours I'll just unroll mine; that, you know.
won't hurt anybody" So the map.vender dis
played several Of his best upon the counter, and
then quietly commenced looking at the mer.
chants which hung against the wall. After
making few observations about some curious
waterfalls, caves, &c. at places which he ira.
ced out upon the map before him, he managed
to engage the merchant attention, and at last
referred to his own map, lying on the counter.

and finally so much interested the auditor that
he bought three different maps, at six dollars
each, OF the pedlar, and very politely asked him
to call again when he got out new edition.

NEVER DESPAIR.

We all encounter difficulties and trials in
our early struggles for fame and fortune-some
very severe ones. The weak hearted are sure
to miss the goal OF their ambion--the persever-
ing almost sure to attain it. There have been
but few men of emnence who have not been in
the greatest difficulties, but they tainted not.
Some years ago, two gentlemen met on a
bright, bracing morning. Their appetites were
as sharp as the weather. Neither Of them had
breakfasted, and though one Of them was of a
very poetic temperament, there was at that time
no subject SO sweet as cJfee and rolls-the
things for which he was yearning.

ion, 'and will stand the breakfast

ROTARY KNITTING MACHINE.-Mr. Eras-

machine which knits stockings and hosiery
of all kinds of perfect shape without seam or

per hour, and one girl can easily tend ten

FLUENcy OF SPEEcH.-Dean Swift says,
the common hucncy of speech, in most men
and most women, is owing to a scarcity Of
matter and scarcity of words; for whoever
is master of language, and hath mind full
of IDEAS, will be apt, in speaking, to hesitate
upon the choice Of both whereas common
speakers have only one set Of ideas, and one
set OF words to clothe them in, and these are
always ready at the mouth so people come
