Home EducatioE.

Whatever defects there may be in Homo
Education, and it is subject which for a long
time has engaged the attention of profound
thinkers and the benevolent, it is certain that
the executions are rare wberethe moral train
;up Of the mother is not according TO her best
ca1aoity surrounding circumstances consider
ed for the benefit and advantage of her off,
sptino. The mofkers influence is often coun-
teracted by the habits aud examples of the
father: in such ease the maternal parent IS
not responsible if her care and teachings are
of no avail.
Home education, where the parents are
united in sentiment, leaves its impression up
on the mind and heart which can never be
totally eradioated. The principle cause of SO
many departures from the path of right Is evil
ASSOCIATIONS The mother engaged IN her
household affairs ~has, among tho majority OF
those who are dependent upon tn eir IaOors
for livelihood, but little time to devote to her
children; and as soon as they are nbie to
walk by themselves they seek Piaymates, and
the youthful mind is readily impressed Tor good
or evil according to the disposition OF the as
sociations. TIE effect of these impressions
are more lasting in most cases, than tue lne
fueuce and example of parents. If mothers
were placed IN circumstances so that they
coull give the proper attention to their chill
dren, and If they had the co operation of their
husbands, there would be less vice in the
Home oducaLion.is the best for the youth
full mind. The most determined man in every
situation of life, will, to the latest period OF his
pilgrimage, be influenced by the early teachings
Of his mother, if the example aud the habits
Of the father were in unison with her counsel
and inslrAction.-NOeL.

The host, coming out, wasso Eoreibly struck with
the appearances Of the animal upon which the quer,

Fectionctcly addressed tOstis I,ster Jeenis EtEe
Since our golden days of childhood.
OFT angel forms I've met,
But none whose gent'e bosgms
With mine are beating ySt,
With such sweet and slTeE music,
Or half SUCH deep copteelk
As the breNthings of thy spirit
Now thrilling through my soul
II.
Friendships flowers brigl hays blossomel
That withered in u day.
And the buds OF love havs 5ened,
Which ripenGd TO decnK
The eyes of beauteous wss1sns,
Spoke faith aud trus!t slainsi
Bu. no heart for me c0Gtait
Such holy love as tbine.
III.
From nv heart has risen Incense,
As pure ever came
In soft wreaih4 from golden censsrs,
Or warned trembling frame,
Before the shrines were bleuied
The deep and tender VOWS
Which burned within our bosoms,
AMI Frightened on our Eows,
And nv songs with one haze mingled,
Whose deep and dewy eyes,
Bathed my soul while swelsd IN anthems,
Ser0phic through the skieg,
To the angels vino we're iistning
To the music as ii rolid,
And each sacred note repeating.
Upon Their Tyres OF goh.
But the hearts which oIce beat fondty,
And loving y'with mine,
Have grown sorlid, strtnge and taithless,
While chAngeess still is thine.
AT the shrtnes where erlt worshipp'd,
My spirit seeks no home,
And The stars illume ndlonser,
Hopes cold, enshroudEd dome,

Now when strangers eytsare gazing,
With goddess in mynwu,
Ol! deeply miss thy kihdness-
Thy dear, confiding tone;
Then the warm tears hOY in silence,
And my bosom echoesoer
All the sweet and tender whispers,
Which thy love breatted before.
And still, oh my much ibved sister,
Thy pure an blessed Eust,
Will live in glorious beaaty
When our forms turn 5o-dusi;
And know thy prayeFS8ill bless me-
And thy fond love keep true,
Till our spirit-winGs aha waving

Character,

The differences of character are never more dis
tincly than in times when men are surropnd-
cd BY difficulties and fnisfor:ures There are some
who when disappointed by the failure otan under
taking from which they had expected great things,
make up their miUds ct once to exert themselves no
longer against what they call fate, as thereby they
could avenge themselves upon fate; others grow
desron6ing md hopeless but third class OF men
will rouse Themselves just at such moments, and say
to themselves, "The difficult it is to attain my
ends The more honorable it will be-" and this is
maxim which every should impress upon hirn>
self law. Some of those who are guided BY it,
prosecute their plans with ob.tinacy, aid perish
others, who more practical men, lit they have
f1i!td in one way will try another.
