THE INFANT IN HEAVEN.

This affords, we think, something more
than dubious glimpse into the question
that is often put by a distracted mother
when her babe is taken away from her
when all the converse il ever had with
the world amounted to the gaze upon it of
a few months, or a few opening smiles,
which marked the dawn Of felt enjoyment;
and ere it reached, perhaps, the lips of in
fancy, it, all unconscious Of death, had to
wreslle through period of sickness with
its power, and at length to be overcome by
it. O! it little knew what an interest i,
had created in that home where i! was SO
passing visitant-nor, when carried 10 It's
early grave, what tide of emotion il would
raise among the few acquaintances il had
left behind it, On it, too, baptism was I'M
pressed as a seal and, as sign, II was
never falsilied. There was no positive un-
belief in lis bosom no resistance yet pu
forth TO the truth !; no love at all for the
darkness rather than the light; nor had il
yet fallen into that great condemnation
which will attach itself TO all that perish be-
cause of unbeliel, that their deeds are evil
1t is interesting to know that God instituted
circumcision for the infant children of the
Jews, and at least suffered baptism for the
infant children of those who profess Chris
tianity. Should the child die in infancy
the use Of baptism, as sign, has never
been .hwarled by it and may We not be
permitted to indulge hope so pleasing as
that the use of baptism as seal remains in
all its en,ireness-lha. He who sanctioned
the affixing of it to babe, will fulfil upon
it the whole expression of this ordinance
And when we couple with this the known
disposition Of our great Forerunner-the
love that be manifested to children on earth
how he suffered them to approach his
person, and, lavishing endearmept and kind
ness upon them in the streets Of Jerusalem,
told his disciples tha, the presence and COM
pany rs these in heaven formed one lngre-
dien. of the Joy that was set before him ;
tell US if Christianity does not throw pleas
ing radiance around an infants tomb And
should any parent who hears Us feel soften
ed by the touching remembrance of light
that twinklcd few short months under his
roof, and at the end Of its little period ex-
pired, we cannot think that we venture too
far when we say, that he has only to persc-
we're in the faith and in the following of the
e-s-I - H.. Aa 4; LII h very ligh! Will again shine
wilhered here upon its stalk, has been trans
planted there to a place of endurance; and
there it will then gladden. that eye which
now weeps out the agony of an affection
that has been sorely wounded: and in the
name of Him, who, if on earth, would have
wept along with them, do we bid all believ-
ers present TO sorrow not even as others
which have no hope, but to take comfort
in the thought Of that country where there
is no sorrow and no separation -
90! when a mother meets on high
The babe she lost in infancy,
Hath she not then, for pains and fear,
The day of wo, the watchful night,
For all her sorrow, all her tears,
An overpayment of delight :"

AN IR1sHMAN's ADVERTISEMENT Bar
.holomew O'FIaherty, Wig Maker, Music
Master, and Dealer in Dried Apples, from
Dublin. gives the public information that
he has opened shop in Pig Alley, No. II,
where he carries on the business OF making
ladies' caps, repacking pork, and setting
hens eggs under ducks, except what falls
down and breaks. Horse jockies and far
riers may be supplied with gauze aprons and
saddles, smelling bottles and all other vege-
tables, on the shortest notice.

VEGETABLE INsTINcT.-1f pan Of wa
ter be placed within six inches on either
side of the stem of young pumpkin or ve-
getable marrow, it will in the course of the
night approach it, and will be found in the
morning with one Of its leaves floating on
the watnr This eyneriment may be con-
inued nightly until the plant begins TO 1Tui,.
If prop be placed within six inches Of a
young convolvus or scarlet-runner, it will
find it, although the prop be shifted daily.
If, after it had twned some distance up the
prop, it be unwound and twined in the op-
posi,e direction, it will return to its original
position, or die in the attempt; yet, not
wilhstanding, if two of these plants grow
near each other, and have no stake around
which they can entwine, one of them will
alter the direction of its spiral, and they
will twine around each other. Duhamal
placed some kidney-beans in cylinder Of
moist earth after short time they began
to germnate, of course sending The plume
upward to the light, and the root down in
to the soil. After few days the cylinder
was turned fourth round, and again and
again this was repeated, until an entire re-
volu,ion was completed. The beans were
then taken out of the earth, and it was found
that both the plume and radce had bent to
accommodate themselves to every revolu-
ton, and the one in its effort to ascend per-
pendicularly, and the other TO descend, had
formed perfec. spiral. But although the
natural tendency Of the roots IS downward.
If the soil beneath be dry, and any damp
substance be above, the roots will ascend
to reach it.

Rose CUTTINGS One of the best me-
lhods of securing the success of these, is to
stick the cutting about an inch deep into
clean river sand, with properly prepared
soil about al inch below to receive the roots
as soon as they strike. The clean sand
prevents the roots from roting. \ cores
pondent Of the Horticulturst succeeded with
this when every other mode failed, and says
she does not lose one in twenty. We would
add, that if the cuttings are thrown into wa
ter for day or two, they are much more
likely to grow. They should Of course be
placed under glass during winter and the
continuance Of frost. The last half Of this
month and the frs. week of next month is
the time to set out. The cuttings are ne
cessarlly of this years growth.

BEAUTIFUL LINES.
BY BARRY CORNWALL.
Softly WOO away her breath,
Gentle Death.
Let her leave thee with no strife,
Tender, mournful, murmuring Life!
She hath seen her happy day:
She hath had her bud and blossom:
Now she pales and shrinks away,
Earth, into thy gentle bosom.
She hath done her bidding here,
Angels dear!
Bear her perfect soul above,
Seraph of the skies-sweet Love!
Good she was, and fair in youth,
And her mind was seen TO soar;
And her heart was wed to truth
Take her then for eyermore-
For evcr-evermore!
