A CHILD's PRAYER.

Bless Thy litle lamb to-nighl;
Thtoughthe darkness be thou near me,
Watch my sleep Till morning light.
All thfs day thy hand hath led me,
And L,thaBk thee for Thy care; j
Thou hast clothed me, warmed and fed me- !
Listen 10 nv evening prayer. a.
The prayer itself dies upon her lips, in
alm~st- indistinct Sleepy murnurs :; only
whew Bitty, who has come for her, is taking
her away to the, nursery, she says, half
awakened

Is there not beauty and charm in the
venerable and yenerated Woman who sits in
the majesty Of age" beside the Preside Of
her son she who nursed him in his infancy,
tended him in his youth Counselled him in
manhood, and who now dwells as the tutela-s
~ goddess Of lis household What host
of blessed memories are linked with that
mother. even in her" reverential armchair
days What multitude of sanctifying as
sociations surround her and make her lovely,
even on the verge of the grave Is there
not beauty aud charm in the matronly
woman who sits looking fondly on the child
in her lap r. What though the lines and lin
amcuts of youth are fed Time has given
far more than he has taken away And is
there not a beauty and charm in fair girl
who is kneelipg before that ,matron, her own
woman sympathies inst open into active life,
as she folds that infant to her bosom. All
are beautiful-the opening blossom, that
mature flower. aud the ripened fruit; and
the callouS heart or the sensual mind, that
gropes for loneliness as stimulant for pas.
sion, only shows at it has no correct sense
Of beauty or refined taste Z.

WOMAN.

If the power which women possess, and
influence which they exercise over men be
great, how deeply are they answerable to the
world fer the lmperfectuse which they make
of the means In their hands for the improve
lnent Of man How little have they Jet
done to accomplish the great end-the per-
fectioni of the species Why array the ar
tiliery of their charms on the side Of folly /;
in tie contest with reason Why abandon
that dignity which is based apon the refine
ment Of intellect, and the purity Of yirtuous
innocence and adopt that spurious kind
which consists only in strict adherence. to
forums which have no meaning, to shadows,
which have no substance, which fashion dig
nifes BY the appelation of etlosstte. RI
