y WHIG RALLY SONG.

WIN NfaLk1 OONo. est4a.
BY r. BUCKINGHAM GRAHAM.
Tune Scots ,oha haze ,ri' Wallace bled.
Patriots Of Columbia's cline,
Soldiers Of the olden time,
Who fought and bled when in your prime.
For life and liberty,
Let our country's call once more.
(Echoing loud from shore to shore,)
Arouse your spirits as of yore,
To guard the noble foe.
On that standard floating high,
Gemmed with the glories of the sky,
Our Mill boys" name meets every eye
There may it ere be found.
Think We, brother, of the past,
Nail that banner to the mast,
And let it wave there till the last,
Loud notes of triumph sound.
Rally rally! freemen all!
Rally at your country's call,
Rally rally! disenthrall,
From bondage the oppressed!
Listen to the bugle blast, a
Loudly on the whirlwind cast
And rally e'er the day is past,
For Harry Of the West.

4 MUsIc.-In every age and every country music
has been made the emblem of whatever is most
lovely and enchanting; and whether the tales
that are told us Of its influence be truth or fiction,
they equally prove the general perception of its
power over the feelings and affections OF human
ity. From the coarse whistle of the ploughboy,
riding homewards on the fore-horse Of his team,
some hundred voices music seems to- be the most
natural language Of the happy the spontane-
Gus solace Of the sad. With every idea Of things
beautiful, pure, aud delightful, music has been
associated but we never mix it with the images
Of things base, vicious, and disgraceful,

PREJUDICE.

All men are apt to have high conceit Of their
own understanding. to be tenacious Of the opin-
ions they profess, and yet almost all men are
guided by the understandings of others, not by
their own; and may be said more truly to adopt
than TO beget their opinions. Nurses, parents,
pedagogues, and after them all, and above them
all, that universal pedagogue, custom, fill the
mind with notions which it has no share in fra
ming, which it receives as passively as it re-
ceives the impressions of outward objects, and
which left to ITSELF it would never have framed,
perhaps, or would have examined afterwards
Thus, prejudices are established by education,
and habits by custom. We are taught to think
what others think, not how to think for our
selves and, whilst the memory is loaded, the
understanding remains unexercised, or exercised
in such trammels as constrain its motions, and
direct its pace, till that which was artificial be-
comes in some sort natural: and the mind can
go no further. 1t may sound oddly, but it is true
in many cases, to say, that if men had learned
less, their way acknowledge would be shorter
and easier. II is, indeed, shorter and easier to
proceed from ignorance to knowledge than from
error. They who are in the last condition must
unlearn, before they can learn to any good pur-
pose and the first part of this double task is
not, in many respects the least difficult, for
which reason it is seldom undertaken

CHRIsTMAs.- The practice Of asking gifts and;
receiving presents on Christmas, is one Of great
antiquity, and while mankind continue to be sell
fish, all those ancient customs by which any mo-;
ney is to be made or any advantage derived from
others, will be duly honored and devoutly OBJ
served G Christmas boxes, therefore, bid fair to
outlast most of the follies of the olden time. In
England they arose with certain early obser-
vances IN the church, and the benevolent gem
orally made Christmas day the occasion for dis
pensing aims among their poor friends. After,
wards, the tradesmen began to send their appren-
tees round among their customers to demand
presents which they received in earthen boxer,
which to empty they were obliged to break. The
money boxes which we now see in the crockery
stores are relic Of the old custom. Another
way Of collecting these gifts was placing thrift
boxes in the shops to which customers resorted.
The BARRIERS boys do this, in England even now,
and we have seen these very boxes put up in the
shops of some Of the most fashionable perre-
quiers in this country, thus again confirming our
previous opinion, that antiquity is very much
honored in those observances by which money is
to be made.

4 A MOTHERS LovE.-The love of a mother is
never exhausted, il never changes, it never tires
A father may turn his back on his chId, brothers
and sisters may become invetcrate enemies, hus-
bands may desert their wives, wives their has
bands. But a mothers love endures through all.
In good repute, in bad repute, in the face Of the
worlds condemnation, a mother still loves on;
still hopes that her child may turn from his evil
ways, and repent; still she remembers the in
FAINT smiles that once filled her bosom with rap
ture, the merry laugh, the joyful shout Of his
childhood, the opening promise Of his youth:
and she can never be brought to think him all
unworthy. 81 f @ 81 tst5

4 WANT OF FAITH-The defect of our time is
want of faith. We live in an age of reality
present, palpable reality. Every thing is TO be
paid for upon demand, every thing is to be &C
counted for and answered by return Of post. The
golden currency Of enthusiasm has been called
10. There is no reverence for any features Of
truth behind the veil. Our temper resembles
that of the pundit who inquired of. Henry Martyr
whether, by embracing the Christian religion,
he should behold the Deity in visible shape.
This eagerness to perceive every object, without
delay and impeachment, is characteristic of
minds which have not been accustomed to gaze
at the luminary Of truth, and might be rebuked
bya Hebrew legend which we haveread. q You
teach," said the Emperor Trajan to Eno,ls
Rabbi, !" that your God is every where, and boast
that He resides among your nation. should
like to see Him. Goods presence is, indeed,
every where" the Rabbi replied; I" but he cam
not be seen, for no mortal eye can look upon his
splendor." The Emperor had the obstanicy Of
power, and persisted in his demand. g Well,"
answered the Rabbi, suppose that we begin by
endayouring to gaze at one OF His ambassadors.
Trajan assenled; and the Rabbi leading him
into the open air, for it was the noon Of the day,
babe him raise his eyes to the sun, then shining
down upon the world in its meridian glory.
The Emperor made the attempt, but relinquish-
ed it. 81 cannot" he said, - the light dazzles
me-" ''If then" rejoiced the triumphing Rabbi,
/" thou art unable to endure the light of one Of
his creatures, how canst thou expect 10 behold
the unclouded glory Of the Creator Z" 1t is a
beau tiful and touching parable, and teaches hui
mility not only in religion, but ia literature and
in life.

ERRoR.-Says the Hartford Times: I" Fight
