A TRADITION Of THE ARABS King
Nimrod one day commanded his three sons
10 enter his presence, and he caused to be
placed before them BY his slaves three seal
ed urus. One of the urns was Of gold, the
second Of smber, and The laet Of clay. The
king desired his eldest son 10 choose among
them ,ha, which appeared TO contain the
treasure of the greatest price. The eldest
chose the vase Of gold, on which was writ
ton empire" He opened it and found it
full Of blood. The second chose the amber
vase, on which was written "Glory." He
opened it and found il filed with the ashes
Of men who had been famous on the earth.
The third took the remaining vase-.has Of
clay. He opened it and found j. empty /;
bu. in the bottom the potter had written one
Of the names of God. "Which of',hese va
ses weighs most? :" demanded the king Of
his court. The ambitious replied, the vase
Of gold the conquerors, the vase Of amber !;
the saees answered and said, "The empty
vase, because a single letter in the name Of
God weighs more than the entire globe"

The influence Of Cowper's mother upon
his character may be learned from the fol-
lowing expression Of fillial affection which
he wrote TO Lady Heskesh on the receipt Of
his mothers picture: "I had rather possess
my mothers picture than the richest jewel
in the British crown; for ! loved her with
an affection .ba. her death, fifty years since,
has not the least sba,ed." Aud he penned
the following lines on that occasion:
ssMy mother! when learned that thou vast dead
Say, vast thou conscious of the tears shed?
Hovered thy spirit DER thy sorrowing son,

MORNING MEDITATIONS.
BY THOMAS HOOD.

BY THOMAS HOOD.
Let Taylor preach upon a morning breezy,
How well to rise while night and larks are flying
For my part, getting up seems not so easy,
By half, as lying.
What if the lark does carol in the sky,
Soaring beyond the sight to find him out
Wherefore am l to rise at such fly?
I'm not trout.
Talk not to me of bees and such like huns,
They smell of sweet herbs at the morning prime
Only lie long enough and bed becomes
A bed of time.
To me Dan Phebus and his cares are naught;
His steeds that paw impatiently about
Let them enjoy, say /, as horses ought
The first turn out.
Right beautiful the dewy meads appear,
Besprinkled by the rosy fingered girl
What then if prefer my pillow dear,
To early pearl.
My stomach is not ruled by other mems
And grumblng for reason quantity begs-
Wherefore shall miser rise before the hens
Have laid their eggs
Why from comfortable pillow start,
To see faint flashes in the east awaken
A fig, say !, for any streaky part
Excepting bacon.
An early riser, Mr.. Gray has drawn,
Who used to haste the dewy grass among
To meet the sun upon the upland lawn
Well-he died young.
With char-women, such early hours agree;
And sweeps that earn betimes the bite and sup,
But I'm no climbing boy, and will not be
All up! all up!
So here III lie my morning call deferring,
Till something nearer to the stroke Of noon.
"A man that's fond frecociodsly Of stirring,
Must be spoon.
