CHILDREN,S RIGHTS.

management, and firm steady rein, she
is very loveable one. You take her

You are busy, talking with the friend

in and throws himself indolenily on the
sofa. His eyes fall upon little Kitty.
He is just in the mode to be amused :,
and makes up his mind to banter her a
little for the sake Of drawing her out,
So he says
"Jemima, dear-coms herew

of answers ready for him, and he enjoys
1he sport Amazingly
Bye and bye he gets weary and says,
"'rhere--run away now, am going TO

awake, and has no idea of being cu' short
in that summary way: so she continues
her Lillputian attacks, till finally he gels

MATERNAL INFLUENCE.

How many of the great and dislin-
gdished men attribute, and truly too, the
eminence TO which they have attained,
to The simple teaching of childhood, -
to the impressions made on their youth
fnl minds by kind and affaclonate
mother. The following beautiful tribute
10 revered and beloved parent, from
the richly gifted pen of LAMARrINE, is
well worthy attention, and its sentiments
impressed upon the mind will elevate its
standard of thought and refine the feel
ings Of the heart:
My mother had received from hers, on
her death bed, beautiful Bible Of Roy.
amount, in which she taught me 10 read
when | was little child. THIS bible
had engravings of sacred subjects on all
its pages. Here was Sarah, here were
Tobias and his Angel, here was Joseph,
or Samuel; here especially were those
beautiful patrarchal scenes where the
solemn and primitive nature of the Easl
mingled with all the acts of the simple
and admirable life of those early men,
When had reciled my lesson well
and read almost without mistake half of
poge of Sacred History, my mother
showed the engraving, and, holding the
opened book on her knees, permitted me
to view ii while she explained it 10 me
as recompense. She wps endowed by
nature with pious and tender spirit, and
with an Imagination the most sensible
aud brilliant; her beautiful and noble
figure, reflected in her radiant counte-
nance, all which glowed in her heart, all
which characterized her thought; and
the sound, clear, afecliona'e, solemn and
passionate of her voice added 10 all she
said an accent Of force, of charm, and Of
love which still Iesounds at this momen,
in my enr, alas! after six years OF silence.
The sight Of those cngraVings, the expli'
cations. and poe,ical comments of my
mother, bOvc inspired me from the most
tender infancy with biblical tastes and
inclinations. From love Of ;he things
to desire of seeing the places where
those things happened, was only step.
| eagerly desired therefore, from the age
OF eight 10 visit those mountains where
God Observation-Disclosures deserts where the
angels came and pointed out 10 Hagar
the hidden fountain whence she might
revive her poor infant, deserted and dying
Of thirst: those rivers which flow out from
The terrestrial Paradise; that heaven
where The angels descended and ascen-
ded the ladder of Jacob.
This desire had never been diminished.
| had always thought from that time upon
tour to the East, as great act of my
life. | continually constructed, in my
thought vast and religious epic poem, of
which these beautiful places we're the
principal scene; il also appeared to me
that the doubts and religious perplcxi'ics
would here find solution and harmony
Then ! could draw from her colors for
my poem,-ior life, TO my mind, was
always grand poem, as to my heart i,
was of Love. God, Love, and Poesy are
the only three words wish engraved on
my tombstone if ever merit one.

MArRIMoNY AND FRIENDsH1P.~Sam
Slick, in his "Wise Saws" says that the
natur of matrimony is one thing, and the
natur of friendship is another. A tall
man likes short wife; a great laker
likes silent woman, for both can't talk
n, once. A gay man likes domestic
gall, for he can leave her a, once TO nurse
children aud make pap, while he is enjoy
ing of himself at parties, A man that
hahn. any music in him likes it in his
spouse, and so on. II chimes beautifully,
tor they ain'tin each otbers's way. Now,
friendship is the other way; you mnsl
like the same thing in each other and be
friends. A similarity Of tastes, studies,
and rqcreations, (what they call conge-
NAL souls;3 topsr for topper, smoker
for smokers a horse>racer for horses
racer, a prize fighter for prize fighter,
and so on Mdtrimony likes contrasts;
friendship seeks its o,on counterparts.

KISSING NO CR1ME--We find by the
Dundas (Canada) Warder, that Rev. Mr..
Gardiner, Methods, Minister, has been
called on at Kingston Quarter Sessions,
to show cause why he should not be
fined for kissing the young and pretty
spouse of VIM. Henry Franklin. From
the evidence of the "preity little deal" "
it seems that the Missionary united her
and tho injured franklin in tho holy
bonds ofmarmony, when she was fifteen
years old; that lie called al her husbands
house to enquire "if she had family
prayer; how she liked VIM, Henry, Cher
hushand,) and what put it into her head
TO get married." On these occasions. il
was his custom to give the blushing bride
the "kiss of peace" till she became
offended. 29u
The question Of kissing, and when,
AND the law applicable thereto, underwent
much discussion, but the preacher gained
the case. The Wdrder advises the hus.
band to cowhide priests. &C., if they thus
behave in future.
