And compass the bearings Of business so great
Unfolding the germ Of despair, or Of hope,
And giving lis hue TO the colcr Of fate.
Ills the business Of life to prepare for its close,
And TO lean, as we walk, on the arm of the friend
Who only can shield from the malice of foes,
And grant us his peace, when LIES business

The Homo Mother.

The following charming picture of a
"Home Mother is drawn by a oorrespon-
dent Of the Masonic Mirror. 1t cannot be
read without emotion by any one with a
heart; but it is especially worthy the atten-
ton of the advocates of Woman's Rights.
What contrast does this sweet picture
present to the spectacle exhibited by the
rampant female reiormers who figure in
Romans Rights Conventions. What a
contrast to the Amazons, into which they
would desire to convert women:
I'VE draw the line, ay, broad line,
between her and the frivolous butterfly OF
fashion, who flirts from bali to opera and
party, deeked in rieh robes, and followed
self--she who, forgetful ofthe holy tasks
assigned her, nesleets those who have
been given i'll her charge, and leaves them
TO the care of hirelings. while she pursues
her gidd. round amusements.
N OF so our home-mother blessings be
on he. head. The heart warns to see her
in her daily routine Of pleasant duties. -
How patiently she sits day by day, slap-
Ing and sewing some article for use OF
adorpment for her little flick And how
proud and pleased is each little recipient
of her kindness! How the little face dim
pies with pleasure, and the bright eyes
grow still brighter, as mamma decks them
with her own hands in the new dress she
has made How much warmer and more
comfortable they feel, il mamma wra ps
them up before they GO TO school +! No
one but her can warm the mits and over
shoes, or tie the comforters around the
necks.
"There is peculiar charm about all she
does--the precious mother. They could
not sleep, nay, for that matter, she could
not, If she failed to visit their chamber,
and with her own soft hands arranged
them comfortably before she slept! Her
heart thrills with gratitude to her Creator,
as she looks ON those sweet blooming faces
ana when their prayers are done, she i'm

Political Clergyme

In the Virginia Convention of $1,000,
John Randolph thus expressed his views
with regard to the interference of the cer-
gy in politics, The debate was apon the
question of excluding ministers OF the
gospel from the Legislature:
"Sir this is no exclusion on account of
the profession Of any opinions. 1t is an
exclusion of an occupation; an occupation
incompatible with the discharge of the du-
ties of member of either branch of the
Legislature. The task Of legislation is at
war with the duties of pastor. The two
are utterly Incompatible. No man can
mingle in legislative cabals; say no man
can touch that pitch without being deiil-
ed No man can SO employ himself with

ties which. every minister Of the Gospel
takes upon himself, and for which he is
accountable not to his constituents at home
but to the God who made him, and who
will call him to much more rigorous ac
count than that I've renders to his parish

lady became radiant with unnatural beau-

charms of her grace, and placed in a bet
ter light the gifts Of her head and heart !;
but it was only the omen of the destroy
er's presence, as the sequel shows:
The family physician saw the impend-
ing danger. He engaged the family TO
carry her--she was the only child. to some
of those southern medical waters which
sometimes battle long with death. The
waters were powerless in her case. She
desired to return to Paris--to die. She
asked that ball might be given in her
house the last day of the year; she wrote
invitations all her friends sent her costly
presents which were placed on the table
before her bed the guests came to the
ball. she received them i'll the bed and
made them hasten to open the dance; the
music seemed 10 excite her; she became
more and more animated as the evening
wore on, when the clock knelled the pass
ing hour of the old year. "Mother moth
er, come here" said she, ''let noe embrace
;ou. and wish you a merry New Year, and
