Great iscsI,its from small Causes.

The possibility of great changes being intLo-
duced by very triiing and slight beginnings,
may be illustrated by the tale which Lockman
tells of vzier, who having offended his mas
ter, was condemned to perpetual IMPRISONMENT
in a lofty tower. AT night his wife came TO
weep before his window. "Cease your grief
said the savage, ago home for the present and
return hitheI when you have procured a live
black beetle, together with little ghee, or buff
fales butter, three clews, one of the finest silk
another of stout packthread, land another of stout
whip-cord, finally stout coil of rope. When
she again came to the foot of the tower, provi-
ded according to her husbands commands. he
directed her to touch the head of the insect with
little ghee, to tie one end of the silk thread
around him, and to place him on the wall of the
tower. Seduced by the smell of the butter, he
conceived to be in store somewhere above him.
the beetle continued to ascend till he reached
the top, and thus put the vizIer IN possession
of the end of the silk thread, by which he drew
op the pack thread, and by means Of the cord
stout rope capable of sustaining his own weight
and SO at last escaped from the place of diress.

MOTHERS SONG.


All tell me not of lovely ones
Who breathe the air of earth;
All tell me not of charms to which
The brightest land gives birth;
Nor vet of fairy things that float
Untouched by mortal stain,
The beautiful creations of
The poets teeming brain;
OF all that moves on earth, in air,
Or hides beneath the deep,
There's nothing half so pure, so fair,
AS my young babe asleep.
Rest my baby, WEAKNESS
Comes not Ger mothers eye;
Mothers lips can never tire
Singing DER thee lullaby.
Bring bither all the lovliest flowers
Cav children of the sun
And | will show thee how their charms
Adorn my darling one /;
Behold the purple veins that creep
Around his pure white brow,
Like early violets of the Spring
Half hidden by the snow;
His eyelids close as droop the flowers,
His cheeks like apple bloom,
His parted lips, carnation dvedi
Are painting forth perfume.
Rest, my baby, mothers love
Fades nos as the blossoms die.
Death must kiss her lips before
She forgets her lullaby.
Then tell me not OF JOYS that wait
Attendant on the call
Of wealth and power, for mine is JOY
That far exceeds them all.
Nor breathe to me of other love,
However true and fond,
And self-devoted il may be
A mothers goes beyond.
The childless woman cannot know
What bliss is mine to keep
Long vigiIs DER this lovely child,
Rocked on my knees to sleep.
Rest, my baby, mothers love
Is qua: dian ever nigh
Nothing evil dares to come
Where she sings her lullaby.

TEMPERANCE IN KING.-Our total abstin-

that Charles XII, the mad King of Sweden, as
he has been called by some of his contemporaries
was pledged man, if not member of teto-

ment is found is given in M. de Bury's g SIS

commencement of his career drank to great
excess. In one of his drunken bouts he so far
overstepped the Bounds of propr;ety as TO treat
the Queen, his mother, with great disrepect.-
The next day. on being informed of his rude
ness, he took glass of wine in his hand, and
repaired to the Queens room. |" Madam" said
he to her, 81 have learned that yesterday; in
my cups, forgot my self towards you. / come
to ask your pardon-and, to prevent recurrence
of such fault, drink this glass to your health;

his word, and from that day never tasted wine.
We may add by way of recommendation to his
course, that in his subsequent life no King was
ever known to have undergone greater hard.

The bloody Battle of GrOkOW,
between the Russians and the
Poles.

Amid the blaze of admiration, excited by the
splendor of our victories, and the extent of our
conquest, it may not be amiss to remember the
recent deeds of an oppressed people, fighting
in the cause of freedom. We may learn from
such variations, both that other races than the
Anglo Saxon, can exhibit instances Of chival-
rous valor; and that the flame of Liberty tho
long smothered by oppression, will break forth
to consume the oppressor. -
