Our WHITE DovE.-A friend forwards US
the following fnely-drawn fact which, she
says, happened few years since, during
one OF those severe storms so frequent on our
eastern coast. Trivial, though touching, it
passed out of my mind until a few days ago,
when it bubled up afresh. l hope you will
preserve it in the Home Journal: -" l
lived but little distance from the shore of
the sea where I was standing, watching dis
tant craft battling against the tempest. At
that moment there came beating through the
air directly towards me, bird evidently in
the feeblest state Of strength. She had been
flying from afar, and was almost back to the
home of of her little nestlings. Now, as the
wind strengthened, she would lower her fight,
her little wings almost closing to her side in
exhaustlon then, as monetary calm en-
sued, she would rise again and bear herself
bravely forward. Thus she came on stug-
Cling and conquering, and had almost cover
ed the land where she could have found shell
ter, when a fresh blast went driving against
her, and beat the poor little creature back,
further and lower down into the foaming
waves which drifted her away from sight, far
out again on the merciless sea. Few treasures
went down more precious than that foundered
bird. Having again reached home, when
evening drew near, heard my little birdlings
hutter, and call for their absent parent-bird.
But she ever came again 1t was our whHe
d0ve that sunk in the storm that day.

THE DEATH OF A CH1LD.-It was bright
morning when we followed her to her rest,
but we brought back with us ouly darkness.
The home which she summed and made music
al, was as gloomy as a cavern, and SO it re-
mains. A few days ago, it seemed like Hea-
vep-but now the stars have faded out, and
the lark that sang at the gate has fallen with
an arrow in his breast.
And when the night came on, how it brought
new measure--fully heaped-of lonely
agony! How we sought to sleep. and were
awaken by her blessed voce-her pattering
loot falls-her thrilling touch! 1t did in
deed seem as if she were there But when
we looked around and saw her not, then, the
truth returned, like sudden blow and sank
again into the troubled waters.
She lies in her little coffin. There are rose
buds in her hand, and wreath of myrtle en-
circles her brow of alabaster. The leaves
fall solemnly, the wind moaned like chained
beast about her dismal bed. 1t is hard to
leave her there-it seems so cold and dreary
for the child and yet We know it must be-
and because it must be, it is,

Good Counsel.

It is not by mere study, by the mere accu-
mutation of knowledge, that you can hope
for eminence, Mental discipline, the exercise
OF the faculties of the mind, the quickening of
your apprehension, the Strengthening of your
memory, the forming of sound, rapid, and
discriminating judgment, are of even more
Importance than the store OF learning
Practice the economy of time. Consider
time, like the faculties of your mind, a pre-
cious estate; that every moment of it well
applied is put out to an exorbitant interest.
The zest of amusement itself, and the success
full result of application, depend, in great
measure, upon the economy of time. Esti-
mate, also, the force Of habit. Exercise
constant, an unremittiDg vigilance of the ac--
quirement.. of habit, in matters that are appa-
rently of entire indfference--tha perhaps,
are really SO, Independent eff the habits they
engender. 1t is by the neglect of such triaes
that bad habits are acquired, and that the
mind, by tolerating negligence and procrasti-
patton In matters Of small account, but ire
quent ccurrence--matters of which the
world takes no notice-becomes accustomed
to these same defects in matters of higher
Importance Bymotives yet more urgent, by
higher and purer aspirations, by the duty OF
obedience to the will of God, by the awful
account you will have to render, not merely
of moral actions, but of faculties intrusted
to you for improvement-by all these high
arguments, do | conjure you $50 to number
your days, that you may apply your heart
unto wisdom unto that wisdom which, di'
recting your ambition to the noble end of ben
; eftting mankind, and teaching humble reli
ance on the merits and on the mercy of YOU
Redeemer may support you in the time 0
your wealth." and in " the hour of death
and in the day of judgment" may comfor
you with the hope Of deliverance.--&

There are happier memories of school de-
lights-pleasanter recollections Of the ram

forests OF our mountain home. Shall we ever
forget the spell-dovas Of the evening schools?
the ambitious young Cicero's-and the
quizzing audiences, who did their best to up
set the gravity of the solemn orators, at the
last bow do we remember the knotty
proplems--the knitted brows--and the deep
drawn breath, as the last triumphant figure
was dimly traced by the Pickering light of
the expiring candle 7-the glorious star-tra-
cings ?-and the long rehearsals around the
home-6re!
Pleasant, aye, they were pleasant, those
days and nights--in spite Of the hot aching
heads, and the cold aching teet-and the hard
uncouth seats and desks Of "that Old sohooL
house"
And are they gone-gone fofever9 No.
no! We live them over-we dream them
oyer-we talk and write them over-thell
image is ever daguerreotyped on memory's
ample pages. You cannot remember me as a
little girl, for childhood magnfes objects
and we can all remember when we thought
our grand father must be taller than his sons
because he was older.
Yet well recollect when the arms of q
little girl of seven were none too strong
to lift the form Of her chubby brother
And the flowers we used to gather--the
many rambles over the sunny hillside--the
dancing brook and clear cold spring, the
beech nuts in the wood, and the apples
