APOSTROPHE TO NIAGARA.
BY G. B. w. OF VA.

| Niagara world Of rejoicing waters, all-glo-
rious art thou! Unsullied in thy spotlessness,
thine ocean waves roll on, pure as the streams
that mirrored Eden's bowers. Beautiful thy
pillows in their flashing green-grand thy ma
jestic form in wreathing clouds arrayed:-
solemn and awful in thy fearful bound, and
strong as Death-shaking thine adamaptine
throne, and with the thunders of thy mighty
voice thrilling the arch Of Heaven, whance
contest thou ? Rivers from civilizations maNs,
and tributaries from the wilderness, where still!
the dusky children Of the woods bask in the Au-
tumn sun the myriad fountains Of chain Of
seas, fountains unnumbered, springng up from
their unfathomable wells, the waters Of an en-
pire meet in thee, and blend their shouts in
thine! The heavenly iris Ger thy radiant brow.
skines ever in the sun (; the snowy volume from
Thy sounding urn rises by night and day Sing
ing, unwearied, and rejoicing still still through
the cycles of revolving years your choral hymn
prevailing, tell me, We countless voices, tell,
when first your song began! When first the
Pleiades began their flight Of love among the
stars-when first sweet Venus from the rosy sky
smiled on the twilight hour-when first the
moon slept on the bosom of the dreaming deep,
when first the earth wheeled on her axle to the
newborn light, did not your lofty pecan swell the
strain of swarming seraphim, who with their
rustling wings Swallowed the Throne of God
Niagara thou world where the reflected purity,
and vastness, and omnipotence Of the Eternal
Architect Supreme, cause us to tremble in thy,
presence, thine eloquence isfas resistless as thy
strength. We look atthy terrific leap, and hear
the groans of death from the abyss-we gaze
upon the misty pillar rising from the gulf dis
persing into snowy clouds that lose themselves
in Heaven, and then we hope that thus the hui
man soul energies from its clay, and scars aloft,
till swallowed up in glory! Thou bringest back
the past with all its fond remembrances; the
loved and Beautiful, laid in their early graves,
smile from thine arch Of mingled glories wrought,
subduing us to tenderness and gratitude The
wrongs we have received are all forgiven the
injuries we have done recall the tears Of sorrow
to our eyes, Love, wonder, admiration, and
delight Time and Eternity, and Life and Death,
overwhelm the feeble current Of our souls, and
leave us unresisting and abashed as in the very
presence Of Divinity.

A GEM--Give us such boys as have been
blessed with the instructions Of pious mother.
This is qualification for which no substitute
can be found on earth. Never would we despair
Of the child who has been used in his infancy,
to hear the precepts Of heavenly truth inculcated
in the accents Of maternal love. Truths thus
distilled, livefor ever in the memory. They are
interviewer with all the sensibilities of the SOUL
They are the fortress Of conscience, not impreg-
nable, it is true, but indestructible. They fur
nish the mind with chords which, in later life,
seldom fail to vibrate to the touch Of faithful ex
postulation., They are as unextinguished sparks
which being seemingly smothered under hear
of corruption, may be famed by the breath o
friendly and spiritual counsel into the pure ant
genial flame Of piety.

Of every man deep impression of continual ex-
isterce The casuist may reason against 1t till
he bewilder himself in his own sophistries; but
voice within gives the lie to bis vain specula-
tons, and pleads for life which is TO come.
The sincere and humble inquirer cherishes the
impression, while he seeks for further light On
subject so momentous; and he thus receives,
with absolute conviction, the truth which beams
upon him from the revelation of God--that mys-
terious part Of hrs being which thinks, and wills.

THE PRECIOUS PEARL.-Religion in female
secures all her interests. It graces her charac-
Ter, promotes her peace, endears her friendship,
secures her esteem, and adds dignity and worth
understandable to all her deeds. How pleasant
when the absent husband can think of home, and
reflect that angels watch the place. When
about to leave her a widow, how cmsoling, if
her character is such, that she can lean on the
widows God, and put her children under the
guardianship of Him who is the father of the
fatherless Then he quits the world calm and
happy, supported by the hope that he shall meet
them all in heaven.

ENJOYMENT OF LFE.-The first step towards
either goodness or happiness is to believe in
the existence. Are there no pleasant realities!
and is this august, this magnificent, this beauti-
full, this delightful world TO be termed a doleful
dungeon, or a vale of tears? What monstrous
ingratitude! Enjoyment is the natural state Of
existence; our senses, instead Of being limited,
as they might have been, to the purpose OF
mere existence, are made to minister unto
thousand superfuous qualifications, if any thing
can be deemed superdpous that creates an inno-
cent pleasure. What incalculable, what ineffa-
Bile delight, apart from all objects Of utility, are
let in upon us by the eye, by the ear, BY the
palate, by the sense of smelling. Why Is the
iocund earth our magnificent banqueting hall,
garlanded with flowers, odorous with perfumes.
and melodious with all varieties of. grand and
dulcet music, but that the abundant and deli
cious festival which is necessarily renewed for
all animated beings, making their existence 2
perpetual jubilee, may be rendered as varionsly
delightful as possible, and fill the mind pf the
reasoning guest with pious gratitude to the Gre
ator for the blessings and delights that he hath
SO profusey scattered throughout the whole
creation Strange that this universal love which
our common Father extends to all, without dis
elimination of country or Of creed, should not
have imbued his sons with stronger feelings OF
brotherhood, and federation.

WoMAN's TENDERNESS AND LovE.--It has often
been remarked, that in sickness, there is no
hand like woman's hand, no heart like womans
heart-and there is not A mans breast may
swell with unutterable sorrow, and apprehen-
sion may rend his mind, yet place him by the
sick couch, and in the shadow, rather than light
Of the sad lamp that watches it--let HIM have
to count over the long, dull hours of night. and
wait, alone and sleepless, the struggle OF the
gray dawn into the chamber of suffering--let
him be appointed to this ministry, even for the
sake Of the brother of his heart or the father
of his being, and his grosser nature, even where
it is most perfect, will tire; his eye will close,
and his spirit grow impatient OF the dreary task;
and, though love and anxiety remain undimin-
ished, his mind will own to itself q creeping in
of an irresistible selfshness, which, indeed, he
may be ashamed of, and struggle to reject, but
which, despite of all his efforts, remains to char
acterize his nature, and prove in instance, at
least, his manly weakness. But see mother,
a sister, or wife in his place. The woman
feels no WEAKNESS, and even no recollection OF
SELF In silence in the depth of night she dwells,
not only passvely, but, go far as the qualified
terms may express our meaning, joyously. Her
ear acquires blind mans instinct, as from time
10 time it catches the slightest stir or whisper,
or the breath Of the now more than ever loved
one. who lies under the hand of human affiic-
ton. Her step, as in obedience to an impulse or
signal, would not awaken mouse; It he
speaks, her accents are soft echo of natural
harmony, most delicate to the sick mans ear,
conveying all that sound can convey Of pity,
comfort, and devotion; and thus, night after
night, she tends him like a creature sent from
higher world, when all earthly watchfulness has
failed, her eye never winking, her mind never
palled her nature, that at all other times is
weakness, now gaining superhuman strength
and magnanimity, herself forgotten, and her sex
alone Observation-Disclosures. ats

A MOTHERS TEARs.--There is a sweetness in
mothers tears when they fall on the face Of 4
diving babe which no eye can behold with heart
untouched tits holy ground, upon which the
unhalowed foot Of profanity dares not encroach.s
Intidelity itself is silent, and forbears mocking
and here woman shows not her weakness but
her strength il is strength Of attachment which
man never did nor neya can feel. II is peren-
NAL dependent on no mate, no changes, nor
soil, but alike in storm as in sunshine, II knows
no shadow Of turning. A father, when he sees
his child 90 down to the valley, may weep when
the shadow Of death has full come over him
and as the last departing kneli falls on his cars
may say, III will 60 down to the grave fcr my
son in mourning" but he turns away !; I'M the

ceedng day blunts the poignancy Of. bis 1yrtei;
and it finds no permanent seat. Not SO with hsra

II lives in the heart where it was first entwined
in the dreamy hours Of night. She sees its play
full myth or plaintive cries; she seeks Il ~
the morning." and she goes often to the grave
there to weep. Its little toys are carefully iaid
aside as mementoes, to keep constantly alive
that thrilling anguish which the dying struggle
and sad look produced, and though grief, like =
canker worn may be knawing at her vitals, yet
she finds luxury in tears, q swesmess IN sor.

LOOKING ALoFT.-Some years ago, Dr. God
man, Of Philadelphia, (now deceased related
that in voyage to sea in early life, he had seen
lad who had just begun to be a sailor, gong
out to some projecting part OF the rigging. His
arms were supported by spar, and he was
looking below him for rope which ran across,
on which his feet should be. The rope flew
from side to side, and it was evident that the
poor fellow was becoming dizzy, and in danger
of falling, when the mate shouted to him with
all his force, Look aloft, you sneaking lubber :
Bv thus turning away his eyes from the danger,
the dizziness was prevented, and he found his
footing. And this incident, the Doctor said, Of
ten required to his mind in after life, when his
troubles grew heavy upon him, and ne hardly
could find ground wherein to tread. AT such
times he heard the mates shout in his ears, and
he turned his eyes "aloft" 10 the prize upon
which he had fastened his hopes. We cannot
part with this beautiful illustration, without
asking each of our readers to apply it to still
nobler purpose--to steady themselves in all the
tempests Of adversely by looking towards that
life in which there is rest and peace evermore--
and when our flesh and heart shall fail us, and
we can find no support under our feet, to seek It
BY .looking alond 10 Him I" who is the strength
Of our hearts, and our portion forever"
