five could look into the heart of a young girl
when she first begins to love, we should find the
nearest resemblance to what Poetry has described
as the state of our parents when in Paradise which
this life ever pres ents. All is then colored with
atmosphere of beauty and light; or, if passing
cloud sails across the azure sky, rejecting tran
STORY shadow on the scene below, it is but to be
swept away by the next balmy gale, which leaves
the picture more lovely for this momentary inter-
rupton ofits stiffness and repose. But that which
constitutes the essential charm of first attach
ment, is its perfect disinterestedness. She who
entertains this sentiment, in its profoundest char
acter lives no longer for herself. In all her aspi-
rations, her hopes, her energies-in all her noble
daring, her confidence, her enthusiasm, her forti-
tude her own interest is absorbed by the interests
of another. For herself, and in her own charac
ter alone, she is, at the same time, retiring, meel
and humbe-content to be neglected by the whole
world-despised, forgotten or contemned-so tina
to one being only, she may be all in all. And i
this love to be slightly spoken of, or harshy deal
with? Oh, no! but it has many rough past tt
encounter yet, and an insidious enemy to cop
with, before it can be stamped with the seal o
faithfuness; and until then, who can distinguish
the ideal from the true!-.NrS. EItii.

Gen, WaShingtOn'S Farm.

The farm of Gen. Washington, at Mount Ver-
non, contained 10, 900 acres Of land in one body
equal to about Is square miles. 1t was divided
into farms of convenient size, at the distance of 2,
s. 4 and miles from his mansion house. These
farms he visited every day in pleasant weather, s.
was constantly engaged in making experiments for
the improvement of agriculture. Some idea of the
extent of his farming operations may be formed
from the following facts: In 1887, he had $50 a
ores in grass-sowed 600 bushels of oats-700 acres
with wheat, and as much more in corn, barley, po-
tatoes, beans, peas, &C., and so with turnips.-
His stock consisted of lao horses, l12 cows, 295
working oxen, heifers and steers, aud 500 sheep
He constantly employed $50 hands, and kept Cd
pIows going during the whole year, when the
earth and the state of the weather would permit
In 1856, he slaughtered $50 hogs for the use ofh
family and provisions for his negroes, for whos'
comfort he had great regard.

The Husband.
E. B.

A good husband how honored and how honor
able the term! Yet how rare! There are very
few, is to be feared, who come up to the gospel
rule in all the offices Of love, fidelity, and person
al atteutions which the responsibilities of this
laton involve.
Instructive lessons are furnished in the opposite
histories of two families, which share my deep
sympathies by very tender relation. A. has a
wife irritable, proud, and naturally violent Yet
he lives in domestic harmony, and there dwells
happiness. True, her natural temper may be said
to be under the restraints of religious principle.
But the considerate husband brings that principle

His whims or caprices to suit.

That 'patriarchs' have seen in thy face?
l dwell in the midst of alarms,
And serve in horrible place.

And must finish my life with groan:
Never hear the sweet music of speech
That tells me my body's my own.

If slavery's my portion to come.
Religion! what treasures untold
Reside in that heavenly word
More precious than silver or gold,
Or all that this earth can afford.
But am excluded the light
That leads to this heavenly grace;
The Bible is clos'd to my sight,
Its beauties never can trace
We winds, that have made me your sport,
Convey to this sorrowful land
Some cordial, endearing report,
Offreedom from tyranny's hand.
My friends, do they not often send
A wish or a thought after me?

How fleet is a glance of the mind
Compared with the speed of its flight
The tempest itself Iags behind,
And the swft-winged arrows of light.
When think of Victoria's domain,
ina moment seem to be there,
But the fear of being taken again
Soon hurries me back to despair.

The beast has laid down in his lair;

ADVICE TO PARENTS.-Tbe

ADVICE TO PARENTS.-The manner in
which commands and prohibitions are given is Of
the utmost importance. The following principles
should be carefully Observed. Let there be as few
commands and laws as possible; but what has
once been prescribed ought to be irreyocabIe
If altered circumstances should require the abro-
CATION of any rule that has been given, it should
be as formally abrogated as it was enjoined. No
rule should be permitted to become an obsolete
statute, for which nobody has any further respect.
Hence it will be necessary to reflect maturely be-
fore any rule of conduct is prescribed; and no or
der should be given, to enforce which the will or
the ability is wanting. By negIecting these sever
al principles, great and extensive mischief is done
by many who undertake the business of education.
Rules for the conduct of children should be Civ
en- in as few words and as much distinctness as
possible; and no fattery, or any other mixed mo-
tves which could derogoe from the rules, should
be employed.
