4 HOther's IntUemce.-Thc solid rock,
which turns the edge Of the chiScl, bears
forever the impress of tho leaf aad the
acorn, received long, long since, ere it had
become hardened by time and the c!c-
mcntS. If we trace back to its fountain
the mighty torrent which fertilizes the
land with its cOpious streams, or sweeps
over it with devastating flood, we shall
find it dripling in crystal drops, from some
messy crevice, among the distant hills; so
too, the gentle feelings and affections that
enrich aud adorn the heart, and the mighty
passions that sweep away all the barriers
Of the soul, and desolatc society, may
have sprung up in the infant bosom, in
the sheltered retirement Of home. 81

Randolph, "if it had not been for one
recollection: and that was the memory of
the time, when my departed mother used
to take my little hands in hers, and caused
me, on my knees to say, Our Father who
art in heaven y"

Remembrance OF Home.

Some crave for honor, some for wealth,
And some for pleasures train;
But give to me my b0yhood DAYS,
Give me my home again;
Give Llc once more the scenes Of youth
Bring back the ones that fed
Give me the hearts bound there in truth
That HOW are mong the dead.
Wha; would care for riches, then,
For science deep in lore?
Unto her shrine | ncer would bend
If | had home 0nre more.
II on earth could once again
Bling back thUse scenes that's past,
That in my heart are deeply lam,
Id die content at last.
No gaudy seats there would see,
Nauglt that is richly rare
But round that spot Id find for me
The love that's not elsewhere.
For not on earth can ever man
Find love so truly pure,
That links and binds n kindred hand,
Nor will 50 long endure.
'TiS pure and spotless as the snow
That round Il home doth dwell;
A paradise on earth below,
For those who love it we'll.
Then give me back my home once more,
Give IIr the scenes that's fled;
Give me the ones, back here restore,
That lay among the dead.

Oh, is there not inIiSiblv
4 sIirit lowering nigh,
Watching our every movement,
As il Soitly ilittcih by
Who hath not felt its influence
Its deep and magic power
7" lure from paths of evil,
Though dark the trying hour.
1t spccdcth on its mission
Where crring mortals roam,
Striving by its winning
ITO lead the wandercr home;"
II lingercth oft in lordly halls.
In hauntS where mirth is rife,
Whispering to the thoughtlesS,
Such Is not ALL of life.
And then on tireless pinions,
To the sad and weary heart,
1t Soareth with its mystic balm,
Bidding each woe depart;
Gently as dreams at evcntide
Come stealing DER the soul,
1t lends its silent influence
Wild murmurings 10 control.
There is beauty in its magic,
Love in its potent sway,
Music in its fairy tones,
l.uring from sin away;
Oh, may list its pleading,
This boon to mOrtalS given;
And cOmmuning with its spirit-voicC
Glide calmly into heaven.

Il II c WIFE.

She who sleeps upon my heart,
Was the first to win il;
She who dreams upon my breast
Ever rcigns within it.
She who kisses Oft my lips,
Wakes their warmest blessing;
She who rests within my arms
Feels their closest pressing.
Other days than these shall como
Days that may be dreary-
Other hours shall greet us yet,
Hours that may be weary;
Still this heart shall be thy throne,
Still this breast shall be thy pillow;
Still these lips shall meet thine oft
AS EillOw mceteth billOw.
Sleep, then, on my happy heart, >..
Since thy love has won it
Dream, then, on my loyal breast
None but thou hast done il
And when age our bloom shall change.
With its wintry weather,
May we in the self-same grave
Sleep and dream together.

FTdelity.-Never forsake q friend
When enemies gather around-when sick
ness falls on the hcart-whent the world is
dark and chcerless-then is the time to
try true friendship. They who turn from
the scene of distress, betray their hypoc-
risy, and provo that interest only moves
them. If you have friend who loves
you and studies your interest and happi-
ness, be sure to sustain him in adversity.
Let him feel that his former kindness is
appreciated, and his love was not thrown
away. Real fidelity may be rare, but it
exists in the heart. Who has not seen
and felt its power? They only deny It's
worth and power who never have loved q
friend, or labored to make friend happy.
