POETRY.
From Graham's Magazine.
The Human Voice.
BY GEORGE p. MORRIS.

We all love the music Of sky, earth and sea
The chirp ofthe cricket-the hum ofihe bee
The wind-harp that swings from the bough
of the tree
The reed of the rude shepherd boy:
All love the bird-carols when day has begun,
When rock-fountaias gush into song as they
When the stars Of the morn sing their hymns
to the sun,
And hills clap their hands in their Joy.
All love the invisible lu,es of the air
The chords that vibrate 10 the hands of the
fair
Whose minstrelsy brightens the midnight of
care,
And steals TO the heart like a dove
But, even in melody, there is a shoice,
And, though we in all her sweet numbers
rejoice,
There's none thrills The soul like the tones
Of her voice,
When breaihed by the being we love.

Food for Children.

So surely as you meet an American woman
travelling with a child, there is a basket or a
bundle in their society, well filed with grea-
sy cakes, sugar-plums, peppermint drops, APP
pies, &c. The little wayfarer generally
makes his appearance with both fists furnish
ed, and a mouthiul of such matter, and as
soon as this is despatched, begins clamoring
for more. Between each supply, the child,
of course, becomes more uneasy, the torments
of a sick stomach being added to the irksome
confinement of a coach or cabin, and by the
end of the day screams of distress and i'll
temper, engendered by nausea, flatulency,
and every species of evil naturally resulting
from such a days diet, proclaim the mistake
OF the half-distracted mother, whose line of
conduct was dictated by the laudable desire
OF keeping her child quiet.
once took the liberty Of asking a young
woman who was travelling in The same car
with me, and stufiing her child necessarily
with heavy cakes, which she also attempted
to make mine eat, her reasons for this sys-
tem.-she replied, it was to keep her baby
good. | looked at her own sallow cheeks
and rickety teeth, and could not forbear sug-
costing to her how much she was ~iniuring
her poor child's health. She started in as

oubtwondering what | meant, and how |
could be so cruel as not to allow pound-.ake
10 my child. Indeed, as it may be eaSil,
supposed, it becomes a matter of no little Diff
fculty to enforce my own rigid d~isipline in
the midst of the various offers of dainties
which tempt my poor girl at every turn but

remember being excessively amused at
the woeful condition of an unfortunate gem
tleman on board of one of the Philadelphia
boats, whose sickly-looking wife, exhausted
with her vain attempts TO quiet three sickly
looking children, had, in despair, given .hem
into his charge. The miserable man furnish
ed each of them with a lump of cake, and
during the temporary lull caused by this d.
verson' took occasion to make acquaintance
with my child, to whom he rendered the
same indulgence. Upon my refusing it for
her he exclaimed in astonishment-
"Why, madam, don't you allow the little
girl cake 2"
"No, sir"
"What does she cat, prayl" as if people
lived on cake generally.
"Bread and milk, and bread and meat"
"What! no butterl no lea or coffee 2"
"None whatever"
"Ah!" sighed the man, as the chorus of
woe arose again from his own progeny. the
cake having disappeared down their threats,
II suppose that's why she looks 80 healthy.''

whether the gentleman extended his infer

From ChamberS's Journal.
Prosecutions in Massachusetts.

The first settlers of the New England
States, as is pretty well known, were men
who fed from civil and religious persecution
in England in the early part of the seven
ieenth century. AS they had felt in their
own persons and fortunes the sorrows of op-
preston for conscience sake, it might natu-
rally be expected that they would have some
sympathy for others in like circumstances.
In this respect, however, The pilgrim fathers,
as they have been termed, were no better
than the men before whom they fed. A vo-
lume might be written Of their doings, in the
way of intolerance but the following short
chapter may suffice.
In the year 1856, when the c~olonists of
Massachusetts were complacenlly congratu-
iating themselves on having established a
vigorous system of uniformity in religious
matters, and expressing great thankfuIness
for having escaped from The troubles which
had lately agitated England, they were very
much surprised to learn that two women Of
the sect which had begun to be called Quakers
were arrived in Boston from Barbadoes.-
There was no law in the colonies against
sucn persons; bot that was considered unim-
poItant; it was easier to make a little law

fill his pipe. Having some loose In ms

The Horse.
BY ELIZA COOK.

The horse! the brave, the gallant horse
Fit theme for the minstrel's songt
He hath good claim TO praise and fame,
AS the fleet, the kind, the strong.
What OF your foreign monsters rare!
I'll turn to the road or course,
And find a beauteous rival there
In the horse, the English horse.
Behold him free on his native sod,
Looking fit for the sun.god's car;
With a skin as sleek as a maiden's cheek,
And an eye like a Polar star.
Who wonders not such limbs can deign
To brook the lettering girth,
AS we see him fly the ringing plain,
And paw the crumbling earth
His ~nostrils are wide with %snorting pride,
His fiery veins expand
And yet he'll be led by a silken thread,
Or soothed by an infants hand.
He WINS the lions spirit and might,
But the voice he has learnt TO love
Needs only be heard, and he'll turn TO the
word,
As gentle rs a dove.
The Arab is wise who learus to prize
His barb before all gold;
Bot is his barb more fair than ours,
More generous, fast, or bold
A song for the steed, the gallant steed-
Oh! grant him a leaf of bay;
For we owe much more to his strength ant
speed
Than man can ever repay.
Whatever his place, the yoke. the chase,
The war-teld. road, or course,
One of Creations brightest and best
Is the horse, the noble horse!

To WINE RISKERs.-It is not generally
known that wine baihs are quite common in
France-neverheless, such is the case.-
The Duke Of Clarence is not the only gentle
man who has enjoyed an immersion in
Malmsey. Punch has tried it with the very
best Sherry. Only imagine! Punch-the
veritable English Punch-swimminr in
French wine, and kicking, and plunging,
and laughing, until the tears ran down his
cheeks, and never thinking of the expense

"What! five franc piece for a tub full of
wine? Hurrah Vive la France!"
"Gently-gently. At least GTy others

The keeper of the bGgne had a preference for
Punch, and gave Punch the first dip. inter

"Bottled And for what purpose?"
"Why, to drink, to be sure"
"Drink Who would drink such stuff"
Why, the English do-the Yankees do
The latter import it in large quantities. Il
is a great tavorite in Yankeeland."
Now, dear wine-drinking friends, anti

BY ALICE CAREY.

Weary of the mothers part,
My sweet baby, never;
will rock thee on my heart,
Ever-yes, forever!
Loveliest of lovely things,
Pure as the Evangel-
o, in every thing but wings
Is my babe an angel!
Blue as heaven is, are the eyes,
Meath the lids so waxen,
And the gold Of morning lies
In the ringlets flaxen.
Fragrant shrub nor tropic tree
Ever yielded blossom
Half so lovely, sweet, as thee,
Sleeping on my bosom!
When thy little dimpled cheek
Mine is softly pressing,
No a wish have | TO seek
Any other blessing.
Art thou, little baby, mine,
Earlier love efacing?
One whose smile is like to thine
Chides this long embracing.
No! as drops Of light and dew
Glorify each other,
So shall we liie's journey through,
Father, child, and mother.
