William Wirt's letter to his daughter on the
"smali courtesies Of life," contains a passage
from which deal OF happiness might be
learned:
Il want to tell you secret. The way to
make yourself pleasing TO others is to show
them attention. The whole world is like the
miller at Mansfield, who cared for nobody
no, not he, because nobody cared for him.
And the whole world would serve you so, il
you give them the same cause. Let every
one, therefore, see that you do care for him,
by showing him what Sterne so happily calls
the small courtesies, in which there is no pa
rade, whose voice is too still to tease, and
which manifest themselves by tender and al
fectionate looks, and little acts Of attention,
giving others the preference in every little
enjoyment at the table, in the field, walking,
sitting, or standing"

POETRY.


A father and his little son
On wintry waves we're sailing;
Fast, from their way the light of day
In cloud and gloom was fai ing,
And ferceiy round their lonely bark
The stormy winos were wailing
They knew that peril hover'd near;
They pray do Heaven deliver"
But wild blas It came bowling past
And soon with a sob aud shiver,
They struggled in the icy grasp
or that dark, rushing river.
"Cling fast to me- my darling child"
An snguished voice was crying;
While. silyery clear, Ger tempest drear,
Rose softer tones replying
20, mind not me, my father dear;
I'm not afraid OF dying;
y, mind not me, but save yourself
For mothers sake. dear fAther;
Leave me, aud hasten to the shore,
Or who viii comfort mothcrP
The angel forms that ever wait,
Unseen on men attendant,
Flew up. Ger joy'd to heavens bright gate;
And there on page Respondent,
High over those of herots bold,
And martyrs famed in story,
They wrote the name of that brave boy,
And wreathed II round with glory.
GOD bless the child ny, he did bless
That noble self-depial,
Aud safely bore him to the shore.
Through tempest, toll aua trial.
Soon in their bright and tranquil home,
Son, sire, and that dear mother,
For whose sweet sake 80 much was done,
In rapture met each other.

"Oh," said Foote, gaily, 81 take all my ac-
