EARLY PIETY.

The following story is acknowl-
eyed good one" but we have never
before seen it in print:
A few years since, some roguish
boys in town not a thousand miles
distant from the capital OF New Hamp.
SHIRE persuaded Joseph n, or as
ne was generally called "Joe," to at.
tend Sunday School. Joe was an
overgrown. half witted, profane lad,
and the boys had anticipated conside.
rable fun out of him; but tho answers
TO the various questions were given so
readily that no one could for a mo.
men. suppose that he was not fully
versed in theological lore.
Joe was duly ushered in, and pla.
ced on a settee in front Of the one on
which his friends were seated, and
the recitation commenced.
The teacher first questioned the
class on their regular lesson, and then
turned to Joe.
My friend, "said the teacher "who
made the world we inhabit2'
"Eh'" said Joe, turning up his eyes
like an expiring calf.
"Who made the world we inhabit1'
Just as he was probably about to
give an answer, one Of the boys seat
ed behind inserted Il pin into his Doe's)
pants, about nine inches below the
ornamental buttons of Lis coat.
Sod Almighty" answered Joe, in
an elevated tone, at the same time ri.
sing from his seat.
THAT is correct" replied the teach.
er but it is not necessary that you
rise in answering. A sitting posture
was Just as WELL"
Joe was again seated, and the cate.
chism proceeded.
"Who died to save the worldW
Jesus Christ" in still louder voice,
rising, as before from his seat.
That is correct, but do not mani
fest so much feeling; do be more com.
posed and reserved in your manner
said the teacher, in an expostulating
tone.
After Joe had calmed down, the ex-
animation went on.
"What will be the final doom of all
wicked men?" was the subject now un-
der consideration; and as the pin was
again stuck in, Joe thundered out. with
higher elevation of his body-"Hell
and damnation."
My young friend, said the instruc-
tor, "you give the true answer to all of
these questions; but while you are
here we wish you to be more mild in
your words. DO cndeavor, if you can,
to restrain your enthusiasm, and give
less extended scope to your feelings"

THE DESCRIPTION.
BY MRS. ADELIA c. GRAVES.

There is charm in that sweet voice, q
fire in that dark eye,
That ever lures me, though would all
Loves snticements Ay,
And when Id turn away, that thrilling
voices wilchng tono
Steals on mine ear so touchingly, my
cares and fears are flown.
That form, It's more than beauty's mould,
It's perfect symmetry,
And all the modelled charms OF old, would
quick before it fee,
For all OF Earth, or Heaven, that's fail
is in that form combined,
Each grace Of feature sparkIes there, each
beauty Of the mind.
That brow, like to a spo.less page where
purest thoughts are seen,
No furrows there Of wrinkling age, OF
passions dark have been,
High, broad and fair, and shaded by those
locks Of glossy brown,
Nought there but sunshine bright and
clear-no darkly whitening (rown.
Tho eyes,-those mirrors Of the soul
what sweet affection dwelIs
Within that circle, wildly bright, yet
soft as the gazelle's-
d! there's witchcry there, exceeding
cen the Poets dream,
When melting into tenderness, its wild.
est, brightest, beam.
Could aught Of beauty captivate, or win
the guieless heart,
There is enough of oveliness-but that
must soon depart;
And wha, shall then retain the love that
glowed in Beauty's hours?
What when the radiant charms OF youth
shall loose their pleasing powers?
o! there's a heart that's richer than the
depths Of Plutus' mine,
Where all that's good, and nobly great
their excellence combine;
A heart that feels the wants and woes o.
all its fellow men
For in it love to God and man in closest
union reigns.
But then the mind, the immortal mind
endowed with leaming's gifts
There, naught that's low or grove!ine
dwslls; the soul it ever lifts
To holy, high and lofty things, it scars
from Earth away;
Its gentle fancies, pure and bright,no place
have here 10 stay.
o! there's a wi,chery in that form and face
SO near divine
They're still before me though | would
erase them from my mind;
And when | would forget them all, that
brigh, eyes flashing ray
Bids fond and faithful memory resume
her wonted sway.
