A HAPPY HOME.


In a happy home there will be no
fault-fnding, overbearing spirit ;sthero
will be no peevishness nor fretfulness.-
will not dwell In the heart or be found
on the tongue. O, the tears, the sighs,
the wasting of life, and health; and
strength, and time of all that is most
to be desired in a happy home, OCCASION
ed merely by unkind words The cele-
brated Mr.. Wesley remarks to this ef-
feet, namely, that fretting and scolding
seem like tearing the flesh from the
bones, and that we have no more rights
be guilty of this sin than we hayeato
curse, aud swear, and steal. - -
In perfectly happy home, all selfish
pleased not himself, so the members
of happy home will not seek first TO
please themselves, but will seek to please
each other -,
Cheerfulness is another ingredient In
a happy home. How much does a sweet
smile, emanating from heart fraught
with love aud kindness, contribute to
render home happyl How attracting,
how soothing is that sweet cheerfulness
that is borne on the countenance of a
wife and mother How do the parent
and child, the brother and sister, the
mistress and the servant, dwell with de-
light on those cheerful looks, those con-
iding smiles that beam from the eye,
and burst from the inmost soul of those
who are near and dear How it hastens
the return of the father, lightens the
cares of the mother, renders it moro
easy for youth to resist temptation-and,
drawn by the chords of affection, howit
induces them with loving hearts, to re-
turn to the parental roof.
o that parents would lay this subject
to heart! that by untiring effort they
would so far render home more happy,
that their children and domestics shall
not seek for happiness in forbidden pathsl

THE ToLLING BELL.

Nor many months ago, in one of my
summer rambles. 1 found myself on a
beautiful Sabbath morning the guest of
a worthy and intelligent flrnily, in quiet
country village.
The early breakfast was over; parents
and children had joined in reading a
chapter in the Bible; Mr.. Sedgwich, the
head of the family, had then offered up
a fervent prayer, at the conclusion of
which We all rose from our knees; when
our ears were greeted by the clear deep
peaIs of the ringing church bell.
$50 latel" exclaimed Mrs. Sedgwich
looking at the clock, "our time piece
must be SLOW"
That is not the first bell for church, u
replied her husband solemnly. There
has been a death in the village. The
bell is going to toll for Martin Lord u
Such then is his unhappy end! u
unused his wife. &C Well 1T will be wrong
to mourn his death If death was ever
merciful providence, it is SO in this
easel"
" Is it a person who has been long
sick ?" l asked.
Instead of answering my question di-
rectly, Mr. Sedgwich said
" There is very melancholy history
connected with that young man. 1t is
now some time since the excitement oc-
casioned by this strange tragedy died
away but the tolling of the bell this
morning must bring it back forcibly to
every heart Perhaps you would be in
terested to hear the story ?"
/ expressed my desire to listen to the
narration; upon which my friend gave
me the details of the following story
which I relate with only slight devia
tion from the original -
Martin Lord was once the flower ant
the hope of one of the most respectable
families in the village. His amiable dis
position and superior intellect procured
for him universal love and esteem.
Although of slight figure, and pale
features, which indicated constitution
by no means robust, Martin was remark
able for his uncommon beauty, and III
| deed his fine noble forehead shaded b.
locks of soft brown hair, his large ex
pressiVe blue eyes, straight nose, will
| thin Grecian nostrills, and rather volup
tuous mouth, entitled him IN some meas
urc to that consideration.
Martin was great fayorite with tn
ladies, old and young; but he neve
showed any marked partiality to an.
one, until he became intimate with lisa
bella Ashton, the daughter of our lat
clergyman, who died of grief about
year ago.
No two beings could be more different
Isabella was the most thoughtless gin
in our village. She could have littl
sympathy with a person of such dee
feelings and elevated intellect as Martin
and beautiful as she was it SCENE
strange that he should have given hi
love to her There is no doubt but sh
was attached to him; perhaps she love
him as well as she was capable of lovin
any one; but in this instance, as IN a
!. others, her affections were secondary
her love of sarcasm and mischief

learned from the doctor at Quaran-
tine, last evening, that the Fcsta had
reached st. Johns with some passengers
from the Arctic, but I could not learn
the particulars.

At the moment the bearer of the lantern
came Up. Its light fell on the blood
stained features OF Isabella Martin ut
tered one more unearthly shriek, and
fell senseless upon the corpse. He new
er spoke again, but lived-an idiot!
A frightful confusion on Isabella s
temple bore evidence that in his frenzy
he had struck the supposed spectre with
the iron bar. The blow was probably
the cause of her death; although such "a
grasp as his hauds must have given her
throat. might alone have deprived her of
breath. He never knew afterwards what
he had done, for never a gleam of rea-
son illumined the darkness of his soul l.;
and now the tolling bell has told us that
Heaven, in its mercy, has fna ly freed
the spirit from its shackles of clay, and
given it light in better world.

OUH CHILDHOOD.
BY GEORGE d. PRENTICE.

IT'S sad-yet sweet-to listen
To the soft winds gentle swell,
And think we hear the music
Our childhood knew SO well,
To gaze out on the even,
And the boundless fields of air,
And feel again our boyhood's wish
To roam like angels there
There are many dreams of gladness
That cling AROUND the past
And from the tomb of feeling
Old thoughts come throngtns fast
The forms we love so dearly
In the happy days now gone,
The beautiful and lovely,
So fair to look upon.
Those bright and gentle maidens
Who seemed so formed for bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly
For such world as .hls
Whose dark soft eyes seemed swimming
In sea of liquid light,
And whose locks of gold were streaming
O'er brows so sunny bright.
w nose Smiles WeIc INC ihO
In the sprins time of the year
Like the changefu CLEANS of April
They followed every tear
They have passed-like hope-away,
ALI their loveliness has fled
Oh-many a heart is mourning
That they are with the dead.
Like the brightest birds Of summer
They have fallen with the stem
Yet oh-it is lovely death
To fade from earth like them
And yet the thought is saddenin5
To muse on such they
And feel that all the beautiful
Are passing fast away
That the faIr ones whom we love.
Grow to e, ch loving breast
Like tehdais OF the clinging vino
Then parish where they rest.
And we can but think of these
In the soft and gentle spring,
When the trees are waving o'cr us
And the flowers are bIossomingl
For we know that winters coming
With his cold and stormy sky
And the glorious beauty round us
Is budding but to diei
