INFLUENCE OF SoNG.-Most of us have ex-
perienced the luxury of tears when listening
to an old ballad. We know an old man, who
having lived long career of vice and crime,
was at length banished from the country and
Who while undergoing his period of Danish
ment amidst the wilds and junges of dis
tant land heard in the summer eventide a
sweet voice, singing in his own language the
very song which had lulled him to his infant
slumber, when he knew crime by name, and
knew it only to abhor. 1t had been sung, too,
by the cradle of an infant sister, one who had
died young and was now in heaven; the
mother, too was no more
But the song-the old song had not lost its
influence over him yet. Back came trooping
upon him the old memories which had so long
slumbered down there in the unconsumed
depths of his heart the mother and the faith
err; the husband gathering; the old school
house; the time-worn church, half hidden by
the old yew trees, where he had heard the
Bible read, all came back upon him fresh as
if itwere yesterday; and, overpowered by
his feelings, he gave vent to them in flood of
tears. And then the old man grew calm,
and his latter days were his best days. and
when the term Of his punishment had expir-
ed, he came back to his fathers land, and
there in that old village graveyard, amid
whose grassy hillocks he had played and gam
boiled, and where the mother and her little
ones were sleeping, he lay down his weary
limbs and sank peacefully away into COM
mon grave.-ELza Cooks Jomnrl.

The Tawsnaner in the Family.

The responsible work of educating the
young, Of forming the character and destiny
of the generation that is to succeed those
who now occupy the various spheres of active
life, is committed first to their parents. The
most important part of good education, is
generally the result Of parental training
The strongest influence save that of the Di-
vine Spirit, ever brought to bear on the open
ing intellect and heart of the child, is the in
fuence of intelligent Christian parents, daily
exerted and imperceptibly received in draw.
ing out and disciplining their minds, awaken
ing inquiry, silently forming habits of atten-
ton, thought and reasoning, which constitute,
as it were, the snbstratum of future charac-
ter.
Who can doubt that President Edwards,
and Sir Isaac Newton and Washington, and
those who have been the lig hts in the church,
were more largely indebted to parental in
struction for all that was great and good in
them, than to any other human agency
Who can doubt that thousands who live and
die IN Ignorance or infamy, and thousands
more who merely vegetate and pass away,
are made what they are by neglect, mis-edu-
cation, and the corrupting influence brought
to bear upon their youth? But we cannot
here pursue this train of thought We COM
menced this article to say that
The newspaper is an important agent in
promoting the culture which the young should
receive in the family circle. 1t comes before
them, every week, with new aspect, and a
new series of various articles, essays, narra-
tives gems of thought, intelligence, religious
and miscellaneous, addressed to the under
standing and the heart 1t speaks of God,
and of men in all their relations to the pres
cnt and future life. 1t speaks Of men in
every cline; it gives them information from
every quarter of the globe; it describes the
modes Of life, and thought and action, pre-
vailing at home and abroad; it exhibits a
picture in miniature Of whatever is going on
in the busy, restless world, in which they are
soon to act their parts. With these stories
of various intelligence it offers the charm of
novelty more than fifty times year. 1t is a
ne1c paper every week.
In educating, draacimg out THAT is the
meaning Of the word educate) the minds of
the young, it is importantto Concentrate their
attention on whatever is worth studying, to
awaken inquiry, and give them materials for
reflection. The well conducted paper does
all this; it attracts attention as q new thing /;
it silently leads the young to form habit
and taste for reading; it awaktns thought
and inquiry, and furnishes matter for rehec-
ton on thousand topics. And in amount,
lit gives the subscriber as much various read
ing in year as he can purchase in twelve
volumes Of four hundred duodecimo pag.
EACH And should we not labor to introduce
the paper into thousand more families p
And will not many Of our subscribers aid us
in the work ?

Solid Honesty.

In "a recent number we published a statement
respecting the honesty of the Duke of Well
ington. He is represented to have paid thou
sand pounds for an estate for which he bar
gained for eight hundred-because his treas
urer told him it was bargain" This is
right and honorable to the bluff old war-dog.
1t reminds US of similar incident nearer
home, though on smaller scale so far as
amount is concerned, though in comparison to
the fortunes of the two men, it is equal to
that of the Duke. 1t forms one of the many
anecdotes illustrative of the character of the
Rev. Mr.. Hallock, the old Minister Of Plain
field, in Hampshire county. Settled over
feeble. congregation, his salary was small and
it required the fnanciering of an Astor to
"make the two ends of the year meet" On
certain occasion he bought COW, and paid
the price agreed on, although it made
gloomy deficiency in the means for the quar-
ter's support. The COW proved to be an ex-
cellent one-better than he supposed her to
be from the description of the seler-which
would be rare thing in these days, however
it Nigh have been in the "good old days" of
Parson Hallock, and in Plainfeld. The ex-
ccleucc of the COW was highly gratifying to
the worthy pastor, but il occurred to his con-
science that Gas COWS are going" she was
really worth more than he had paid for her.
Right was to him both duty and privilege !;
he was no laggard, reluctant under.the-whip
servant of his master. No sooner did he
make up his mind that the COW was worth ten
dollars more than he paid for her, than the
ten dollars were transferred from his own
scant Golfers to the pocket of the former own
err of the COW. This was just, honest, Chris
tian; and to be just, honest, Christian, and to
make others SO, the good man lived, For
this end do all Christians live ?-Gree9feld

Our Social Uirrlc.

Slander.
BY MRS. E. s. ANDREWS.

Evil speaking is the natural language of
diseased mind, the development OF an uncul-
tivated intellect, an ungenerous nature and
hardened heart. 1t is the twin sister of
Envy, the fruit of malice, and the expression
of the vilest and most degrading of human
passions 1t destroys every noble impulse,
and every virtuous principle in the soul of
the slanderer, if, indeed, he may have soul
capable of such attributes.
The deadly Upas spreads devastation and
death not more surely than the remorseless
vilifer of character. His wQyds may be
smooth and his manner gentle; he plays with
his victim, like cat; to destroy is his inten
ton; ho should be held up to public scorn
equally with the petty thief Or midnight as
sassin-assaSsin Yes, for what is life with
out reputation? His vile insinuations des-
troy your "good name;" those that once you
called friends, and treated as such, "pass by
on the other side" with cold bow orr scorn-
full smile; the heart aching "with the bur-
den of things unsaid" longs in vain for one
fond, congenial spirit; your employer casts
you off like loathsome thing; you wander
up and down the world, cast-off thing
Scandal! 0, ye fathers on whom its blight
hath fallen! ye mothers, beside whose hearth
stone the Demon is lurking; ye sons and
brothers in whose pathway it hath planted
thorns; ye maidens fair, whose good name it
hath assailed; ye writer's Of this living age,
come to the rescue! Let the pulpit thunder
its anathemas the orator exhaust his match
less eloquence, and the Press pour its torrent
of burning, scathing power against the mon
ster; let the voice Of Humanity, pleading
for its inundated victims, be heard against it.
Above ALL let Woman's voice be heard in the
social gathering the friendly intercourse
with friend, and in all the nameless paths
where she may be called. Let her, with
strong endeavor, seek to drive the vile intrud-
.er FORTH and the work is done. Flowers will
spring up where noxious weeds now luxuriate
and the gentle dews of Heaven will descenG
upon the hearts now parched and withered
and "peace will have dominion from sea t.
sea, and from the Rivers to the ends Of thu

Early IMPRESSIONS

In retired village in Vermont, two hum
bred miles from any seaport, traveller, some
years since, turned his horse up to the door
of farm house, to ask for entertainment
and shelter for the night, He was Hospitality
received. In the evening, in conversation
with his host and hostess, he learned thattheir
three sons, their only children were absent
from them upon the sea. He was told that
each of them, from their early boyhood, had
manifested a desire to become sailor, so
strong and ardent that all the earnest en-
treaties of their parents could not quench it.
10 these parents it was mystery how their
sons, SO far from the sea, and surrounded by
all the attractions of rural life, should each
of them in turn, exhibit such an unconquera-
BILE desire to be wanderers on the ocean, The
traveller thought he could solve the mystery.
He had noticed, in recess in the wall over
the mantle-piece, beautiful model of ship
completely rugged and in full sail. He be-
lievcd that the little glass ship, a bridal gift
to thu mother, as he was told, and constantly
before the eyes of those boys from infancy,
had inspired in their breasts that love for a
sailors life upon the ocean-wave. Who will
say it was groundless belief?
A single moment in early life is often the
pivot upon which a persons whole character
and destiny turns. 1t is stated in the biogra-
ply of MICHAEL ANGELO, the great Italian
lptor, that when a child, his nurse, who
was the wife of stone mason, was accustom-
ed to give him for play things,a little hammer
and chise. Had it not been for those toys,
the genius of ANGELO might have taken an
entirely different course, and we should have
read Of him in history as poet, an orator,
or statesman Had little sword and drum
been given him for toys in place of the ham-
mer and chisel, his name might have come
down to us as a renowned cheftain, great
general, rather than as the man
Who made the senseess stone to hreahcand speak,
The duh rock reflect the perfect form of youth and age.
Were we to trace one of themajestic rivers
of our country to its source, we should find
(if the reports of travellers be true,) not far
from the spot where it issues from the parent
spring, rock lying directly across the path
it would naturally pursue, and turning its
stream into an entirely different channel, thus
determining, ever after, the direction in which
that proud river is to convey its waters to the
ocean. So is it with character. Often a
trivial circumstance in early life, gives new
and decisive turn to the purposes or taste Of
child, which determines his whole future
character, and shapes the course of all his
subsequent life.-Rev w. Bates.
