FIDELITY.

Never forsake a friend-w hen enemies gather
around-when sickness falls upon the heart
when the world is dark and cheerless--is the
time to try true friendship. I he heart that has
been touched with true gold will redouble its eff
forts, W hen the friend is sad ard in trouble Ad-
versity tries real friendship. They who turn
from the scene Of distress, betay their Hypocrisy
and prove that interest only moves them. II
you have friend who loves you-who studied
your interest ard happiness-be sure to sustain
him in adversely. Let him feel that his former
Kindness is appreciated-and that his love was
not thrown away. Real fidelity may be rare,
but it exists in the heart. Who has not seen and
felt its power? They only deny its worth and
power, who have never loved friend or labored
to make friend happy: The good and the kind
the aaectionate and the virtuous, see and feel
the heavenly principle. They would sacrifice
wealth and honor to promote the happiness of
Others, and in return they receive The reward of
their love by sympathiznghearts and countless
fayoIs, when they have been bro't low by disease
or adyersity

ONES MOTHER.

Around the idea Of ones mother the mind Of
man clings with fond affection. 1t is the first
dear thought stamped upon our infant hearts,
when yet soft and capable Of receiving most
profound impressions, and all the after feelings
are more or less light in comparison. Our PAS
sions and Cur wilfulness may lead us far from
the object of our flial love; we may become
wild and headstrong, and angry at her counsels
or opposition but when death has stilled hel
monitory voice. and nothing but calm memory
remains to recapitulate her virtues and good
deeds, affection, like a flower beaten to the
ground by a rude storm, raises up her head anc
srniles amidst her tears. Around that idea, a.
we haze said, the mind clings with fond affec
ton !; and even when the earlier period of oul
loss forces memory to be silent, fancy takes the
place of remembrance, and twines the image @
our departed parent with garland of graces
and beauties, and virtues, which We doubt no
that she possessed.

IMPORTANCE OF TRIPLES.

Every thing in nature is series of concatena-
ton. Frequently the most triflirg observation
leads to the mcst important discoveries. A little
piece of iron that turns towards the north guides
fleets through the tracklcss deserts of the ocean,
and the reed of an unknown species cast upon
the beach OF Azores, led "Christorler Column
bus," to imagine the existence of the American
world. The movement of the teakettle Id, 'by the
effect of steam, let to most important discoveries

likely to become the great llevathan of modern
science, though fresh manifestation of its appli-

opinion, that steam is only yet in its infancy

How oft have We smiled v hen Fancy, sweet

All the joys which are hidden i'll loves richest

Alas as the dew meath the mantle of moln
Sparkles brighter just ere it doth vanish forever
Our hopes were scarce frightened before they
had flown,
But can this sad heart eer forget thee-Oh

And there att the Shrine of pure heaven born love
