HI
ny JOHN BIRD.

The Sabbath.bell !-how sweeily breathes
Der bill and dale that hal'owcd sound,
When Spring her first bright chaplet wrcathes
The %cotter's humble porch around -
And elistening meads of vernal green,-
The blossomed bough,-the spiral born,-
Smile DER the brook theat flows between,
As shadowing forth a iairer morn.
The Sabhaih-bell It's stiffness all,
Save where the lambs unconscious blea',
Or the lone wood-dove's %plaintive call,
Are mingling with its cadence sweet;
Save where the lark on soaring wing
At heavens gate pours her matin-song;
Oh! thus shall feaihered warbler sing,
Nor man The gratefaA-rain pfolong.
The Sahbath-hell !-how soothing flow
Those greetings to the peasants breast!
Who knows not labor neer can know
The blessed calm that sweetens rest!
The day-spring ofhis pilgrimage,
Who, freed awhile from earthly care,
Turns meekly to a heaven taught page,
And reads his hope recorded there.
The Sabbath bell yes, notin vain
That bidding on the gale is borne;
Glad respite from the echoing vain,
The sounding axe, the clamorous born;
Far other thought those notes inspire,
Where youth forgets his froIic pace,
And maid and matron, son and sire,
Their church-way path together trace.
The Sabbath bell are yet the peal
In lcssening r melt away,
'Tis sweet with reveren,ial step TO steal
Where rests around each kindred clay!
Where buried love, and severed friends,
Paren, and offspring, shrouded lie,
The tear drop. falls, the pray asccnds,-
The living music, and learn to diei
The Sabbath bell ! tits silent now;
The holy fame the throng receives;
The pastor bends his accd brow,
And slowly turns the sacred leaves.
Oh! blcst where blending ranks agree
To tread the paths their fathers trod,
To bend alike the vi ling knee,
One fold leforc one fostering God
The Sabbaih.bell oh! does not time
In that still voice all-eloqucnt breathe!
How many have listened to that chime,
Who sleep those grassy mounds beneath!
How many of those whu listen now
Shall wake its fate-recording knell,
Blessed if one brief hour bes'ow,
A warning in the Sabbath. bell!

WARNING TO LioUoR DEALERs.-A high
~ valued ciiizcn Of Cincinnati informed us
"A lew days since, tina, he had the names OF
all the liquor sellers WHO had carried on the
business in two streets in our CITY, for fifteen
years. There were 67 in alt. or this mum.
Der, 53 have died, and f6 of them died
drunk! Oh who will peril his life in thls
dangerous traffic! To say nothing of the
calamities brought upon those wiro patron
I've the soul-des,roying business, n mans own
welfare for time and eternity are jeopard,zed
by engaging in it. Very few are able to
withstand the destinations which the %contin-
ncd presence Of the temp,er presents. The
facts above stated may be rather remarkable.
SO large a proportion, perhaps, is not usual.
This may be accounted for in part, by their
being the lower class of dealers. and in the
most incorporate part of our city. 1t will
be found, however. upon examination, that
the proportion o~fllgnor dealers destroyed by
their own business, is ~fearfuily great. More
than two-tllirds of all who are engaged for
a series of years in this traffic die drnnkards!
And by far a large proportion die msolvent.
Another fact is, that they have a larger
representation IN our prisons, Than any other
class of citizens. Scventy-six in the Peni-
Tertiary of Connecticut, and one hundred
and fifty in the Ohio State Prison, who have
occupied the unenviable position of standing
behind the lar! Truly, " the way Of trans
gressors is hard."-Ohio paper.

CHAPTER II.

About two years had passed away, during
which time no news had been received Of
the fate of Charles Q ,imby, who was in
England. He had written, hut lis letters
never reached the anxious father. One eve
ming, however, about this time, on gong TO
the Post Office, Fidclia saw upon the list a
letter from London, directed to James
Quimby, or his daughter Fidelia.' On
breaking tue seal she learned with delight, it
was from her brother, and contained IA fifty
pound note, assuring them he was in good
business, and intended during the year to
visit America.
A new era seemed to be created at once
in the history of the poor family. 1t was i'm
mediaiely resolved, that with a portion Of
the funds thus timely obtained, as requested
by Charles, Fidelia should ENJOY the long
coveted privilege of attending a seminary
George was already at a trade, where by
his industrious habits. he was enabled no
only to clothc himself, but to contribute. in
a small degree, to the support of his helpless
father.
There being a seminary Of high character
in the vicinity, arrangements were soon made
by which FiIelia could spend her time in
studies, without being absent long from her
father, and at evening both George and her.

With the assistance enjoyed in her stud
les from the frequent visits of Robert Videt-
to, (who Notwithstanding the prohibitions Of
his father, found frequent opportunities foI
calling at the humble, yet always neat and
well arranged coltagc,) who was an excellent
scholar, Fidelia soon became proficient in
most languages, and evirced a power of IN
tellect combined with a mind and heart vel
disciplined, that produced a great influence
upon the mind of Robert, and entirely won
his heart. And when he had reached his
tweniy-second year, and Fidelm had quilted
her school, being IN her nineteenth year, he
resolved to consummate his long established
purpose Of marrying the Candy GIRL
This determination was announced to his
father, with due formalily, upon the a%nniver-
sary of his birthday. And although The
proud father had feared as much, yet when
the young man calmly avowed his intentions.
it was shocking to his opinions of propriety,
For "A moment he sat in perfect silence, will
