EARLY TRAlNINe.-" Train up the child in
the way he should 60, and when he is old he
will not depart from it" is wise saying of
an inspired writer, and deserves few passing
remarks. Much depends upon the manner 10
which child is brought up; youth is the
time when the mind is most susceptible of in
struction of any kind, and parents are answer
able in great measure for the conduct of the
rising generation: II is in youth that they
form habits which will have bearing upon
their whole lives, and not only upon their
lives, but millions yet unborn are to reap the
reward or evil consequences of what you may
inssiIl into the minds of your children. Up
on you. therefore, depends the happiness and
prosperity Of coming generations; reprove
therefore, with kindness, and PUNISH with
firmness, but above all, be careful in the ex.
amples you set before them, for their lives
are to be ruled by your own. More depends
upon your example than upon all the counsel,
threats, and foggings which human nature
has invented.

reach at least one foot more. He weighs l6a
lbs. Judging from analogy, in such unnatu'

A WHISPER TO A WIFE.-Study your hus-
bands temper and character, and be it your
pride and pleasure to conform to his wishes.
Check at once the first advances 10 contradic-
ton, even of the most trivial nature. Beware
OF the first dispute. Whatever might have
been concealed as defect from the lover,
must with greater diligence be concealed from
the husband. The most intimate and friendly
familiarity cannot surely be supposed to ex-
clude decorum.-Le your husband be dearer
and of more consequence to you than any 9TH
er human being; and have no hesitation in
contessing those feelings to him.

A QUAKER WoMAN's SpeEcH.-Dear friend
there are three things ! very much wonder at
The first is, that children should be so foolish
as to throw up stones, brick.bats, and clubs
into fruit trees, to knock down the fruit il
they would let it alone, it would fall ITSELF
The second is, that men should be so foolish
and even SO wicked, as to go to war and kill
one another; if they would let one another a.
lone, they would die off themselves. And
the last thing is. that young men should be
SO onwise as to go after young women; if III ey
would stay at home, young women would
come after them.

Oh, haste thee, dream, on thy wings of light.

Or reclines by the limpid stream,
Let me be there to share in he: smiles
Oh, be kind to me, gentle dream.
Tell her The storm will yet be past
Which darkened our hopes SO fair
Then point to blissful home at last,
And days unshaded by care.
So haste thee, dream, on thy wings Of light,
Away to my true loves bower,
And bear her my vows Of love tonight,
And a kiss on this dewy flower.

<ro,,<cffons Of the Dy5~E Year.

Rtcollecttoms Of the Dying Year.
The dying year the dying year!
How solemn is the sound
OF moaning winds and whitening leaves
Strewn rudely DER the ground;
In melancholy murmurs through
The leafiess woods hear
The tongue of time proclaims to man,
This is the dying year.
TIE summer birds have left their bow'rs--
To brighter skies have fled,
The green leaves, too, Of spring have gone,
The roses all are dead;
All. all that bloomed SO beautiful
Has now gone to decay.
And thus our hopes and dearest friends
Are doomed to pass away!
As fades the flowers before the forest,
Nipt in its brightest bloom,
So blushing oft is sent
To an untimely tomb;
Like yonder oak stripped BY the blast,
The good man oft appears,
Struggling with dark adversely,
Amid the march of years.
Oh! where are all the gifted ones,
The giddy and the gay,
Planting in all the pomp oflife
And glory yesterday
Alas! like pale and whitening leaves,
Swept on by autum's blast,
The scythe of time has cut them down
TO mingle with the past.
The hearts that beat SO high with hope,
Within the gloomy grave,
Are pulseless now-the old and young,
The beautiful and brave;
The eyes that fash'd ambitions fire
Are closed in deaths cold arms,
The worm, the worm, alas feeds now
On beauty's blissful charms.
Oh! ye who seek the bubble, Fame,
Unmindful of your doom,
Go to yon city of the dead,
And look into the tomb,
The sleeper there was once az gay
And restless as thou art,
And what are now the blasts Of fame
To his cold silent heart?
