so fatal to Emily had accidently dropped from
her secretaire. and was picked mp by her, un-
known to the mother till the day before my
return, when she missed it. 1t then spoke Of
the birth of male child after T--s, death
and that seized with an insane fury, she had
resolved he shonld never inherit the fathers
name and wealth and how, through the con-
nivance ofa nurse. It was placed, with q sum
of money, at beggar's door, and dead child
laid beside her in its stead. That before sem
ding the infant away, she had its fathers ini-
tial. tatooed on it's left arm. All trace of the
child had been lost; the beggar woman had
died. and another had taken it. At length her
heart had reproached her, but search had been
made in vain.
As read the tale of crime and repentance,
memory traced out the features ofthe bcggar-
boy, as ne stood shivering in the deep snow
before me. Like a sudden light, it burst up
on me; the festures that had SO tormenred
niy memory to recall were those of the nm
happy mother. Quickly I walked to Mrs.
T--'s room; she was not there. ] enter
ed Emily's; the mother was clasping her
daughters shrouded body, weeping as though
her heart would break. Gently bearing her
back to her own chamber. Informed her that
perhaps another child long lost might be re-
stored to her. She listened as one bewilder-
cd. then Informed her of my scventure with
the beggar-boy.
1t was hardly day-dawn as | entered the
carriage. Ny breath froze against the win
dow panes. After few minutes the horses
stopped before the wretched snow-covered
hovel. Not a word answered the footman'.
ced my hand on the latch the door opend it
was neither locked nor barred: for no thief
would enter there. In the corner lay bundle
of rugs with some straw apparently used for a
bed, but it unoccupied. Near the fire
place, where naught but little ashes and
we'll charred bark remained, halfrecining in
a large wooden chair, lay the beggar- boy
His cap had fallen on the ground, and his dark
curling hair fell clustering over his extended
arm as his head rested on it. He had seemingly
fallen asleep the night before, for his thin
summer clothes were on, and his BASKET yet
filled with the fragments of broken feasts, re-
maned untouched at his feet. I put my hand
upon his beautiful head it was icy cold !
Quickly pushing backthe hairfrono his check,
the unmistakeable evidence Of death met my
eye. He had apparently fallen asleep weep
ing, for tear lay frozen between the long
lashesi
We raised the stffened corps OF the ill-fated
youth, and tearing away the thin sleeve from
his left arm, the letters II. were discovered
in light blue points. Deserted, famished, and
forzen, Death had claimed the lone boy before
ne knew mothers love.

Byron.
FROM MACAULAY.

II
Byron's descriptions, great was there in
trinsc merit, derived their principal interest
from the feeling which always mingled with
them. lie was himself the beginning, the
middle, and the end of all his own poetry, the
hero, of every tale, the chief object in ev-
cry landscape. Harold, Lara, Manfred, and a
crowd Of other characters, were universally
considered merely loose incognitos of BY
ron; and there is every reason to believe that
he meant them to be so considered The won
ders of the outer world, the Tague, with the
mighty force Of England riding on its bosom,
the tower Of Cintrea oycrhanging the shaggy
forest Of cork-trees and willows, the glaring
marble of Pentelicus, the banks Of the Rhine,
the glaciers Of Clarens, the sweet lake of Le-
man, the dell of Egeria, with its summer-birds
and rustling lizards, the shapeless ruins of
Rome, overgrown with ivy and waIl-fowers,
the stars, the sea, the mountains-an were
mere accesSaries-the back ground TO one
dark and melancholy figure.
Never had any writer so vast a command of
the whole eioquence of sco-n, misanthropy and
despair. That Marah was never dry. No art
could sweeten, no draughts could exhaust, its
perennial waters of bitterness. Mover was
there such variety in menotonv as that Of By
ron. From maniac laughter to piercing lam
entation, there was not single note of human
anguish of which he not master. Year af-
ter year, and month after month, he continued
to repeat that to be wretched is the DESTINY of
all; that to be eminently wrctchcd, is the des-
tiny of the eminent; that all the desires by
which we are cursed lead alike to misery ;-if
they are not gratified, to the misery of disap-
pointment; if they are gratiied, to the misery
of safety. His principal heroes are men who
have arrived by different roads at the same
goal of despair, who are sick of life, who are
at war with society, who are supported in their
anguish only by an unconquerable pride, re-
sembling that Of Prometheus on the rock, or
of Satan in the burning mari; who can master
their agonies by the force Of their will, and
who, to the last, defy the whole power of
earth and heaven. He always described him.
self as a man of the same kind with his favor
ite creations, as man whose heart had been
withersd, whose capacity for happiness was
gone, and could not be restored I; but whose
| invincible spirit dared the worst that could
befsll him here or hereafter.

Protestantism and Catholicism. 1

FROM WACAULAY-
The geographical frontier between the two
religions has continued to run almost precise
ly wlfereit at the close OF the Thirty ears
War; nor has Professionalism given proofs Of
that ''expansive power which has been asc-i-
bed to it. But the Protestant boasts, and most
justly, that wealth, civilization, and intelli-,
gence, have increased far more on the north
ern than on tie southern side of the boundary;
that countries SO little favored by nature az
Scotland and Prussia, are now among the most
fourishing and best governed portions of the
world-7whie the marble palaces Of Genoa arc
descrted-whiie banditti infest the beautiful
shores of Campania-while the fertile sea-
coast of the Pontifical State is abandonedsto
Buifaloes and wild boars. 1t cannot be doubt
ed, that since the sixteenth century, II Pro-
testant nations--fair allowance being made for
physical disadvantage made decidedly
greater progress than their neighbors. Tho
progress made by those nations in which Pro-
testanijsm though not finally successful, yet
maintained long struggle, and left perma.
nent traces, has generally been considerable
But when we come TO the Catholic Land, to tho
part of Europe in which the first spark of ref
ormation trodden out as soon as i: appear
ed, and from which proceeded the impulse
which drove Professionalism back, we find, At
best, very slow progress, and on the whole
retroyression. Compare Denmark and Pro-
tugal. When Luther began to preach, the su-
periority Of the Portuguese was unquestiona-
ble. At present the superiority of the Danes
is no less SO. Compare Edinburgh and Flor
ence. Edinburgh has owed less to climate, to
any capital, Protestant or Catholic. In all
these respects, Florence has been singularly
happy. Yet whoever knows what Florence
and Edinburgh were in the generation prece--
ding the Reformation, and what they are now
viii acknowledge that some great cause has,
during the last three centuries, operated to
raise one part of the European family, and to
England and that of Spain during the last con-
tury. IN arms, arts, sciences, letters, COM
merce, agriculture, the contrast is is striking.
The distinction is not connned to this side Of
the Atlantic. The colonie, planted by Eng
land in Americs, have immeasureably over
grown in power those planted by Spain. Yet
We have no reason to believe that, at the be,
was in any respect inferior to the Engli.hman-
Our firm belief is, that the North owes its
great civilization and prosperity chiefly 70 the
moral effect of the Protestant Reformation
and that the decay of the Southern countries
of Europe is to be mainly ascribed to the
great Catholic revival. 90

BOYS out after Night.


The following observations of "a true friend
Of boys are SO important and the evil depre-
Gated in them is SO common, that We desire to
impress them on the notice of parents and
guardians With all the emphais of editorial
recommendation.
81 have been all observer, as I am q sympa-
thizing lover of boys. / like to see them
happy, cheerful, gleesome. Indeed, 1 can
hardly understand how a hightoned useful man
can be the ripened fruit of boy who had not
enjoyed full share of the glad privileges duo
to youth. But while watch with very jeal-
Gus eye al rights and cusoms which cntrench
upon the proper rights of boys, I am equally
apprehensive lest parents who are not fore
thoughtful, and who have not habituated
themselves to close observation upon this sub
.ject, permit their sons indulgences which are
almost certain to result in their decentralization,
Il not their total ruin; and among the habits
which have observed as tending most surely
TO ruin, know of none more prominent than
that of parents permitting their sons 10 be in
