THE BABY.-In his recent volume
entitled Society and Solitude, Ralph
Waldo Emerson says
1.-THE perfection of the providence for
childhood is easily acknowledged. The
care which covers the seed of the tree
under tough husks and stony cases, pro-
vides for the human plant the mothers
breast and the fathers house. The size
of the hester is comic, and its tiny,
beseeching weakness is compensated
perfectly by the one happy, patronizing
look of the mother, who is sort of high
reposing providence toward it. Well
come to the parents the puny struggler,
strong in its weakness, his little arms
more irresistible than the soldiers, his
| lips touched with persuasion which
Chatham aud Pericies had not. His
Unaffected lamentations when he lifts up
his voice on high, or, more:beautiful, the
sobbing child-the face all liquid grief,
as he tries to swallow his veXation-
softens all hearts to pity, and to mirthful
and clamorous compassion. The small
despot asks So little that al! nature and
all reason are on his side. His ignO-
rance is more charming than all knowl-
edge; and his little sins more bewitch-
ing than any virtue. His flesh is an
gels flesh, all alive. Infancy said
Coleridge, presents body and spirit in
unity; the body is all animated All
day, between his three or four sleeps,
he COOS like pigeon house, sputters and
spurs, aud puts on his faces of import
ance, and when he fasts, the little Phar-
isee fails not to sound his trumpet be-
fore him. BY lamp-light, he delights
in shadows on the wall; by daylight,
in yellow and scarlet. Carry him out
of doors-he is overpowered by the
light and by the extent of natural OBJ
iects, and is silent. Then presently be-
gins his use of his fingers. and he stu
dies power-the lesson of his race. First
it appears in no great harm. in archi-
tectural tastes. Out of blocks, thread
spools, cards and checkers, he will build
his pyramid with the gravity of Palla
dio. With an acoustic apparatus of whis
tie and rattle, he explores the laws O
sound. But chiefly, like his senior
countrymen, the young American stu
dies new and speedier modes of trans
portation. Mistrusting the cunning o
his small legs, he wishes to ride on ths
, necks and shoulders of all flesh. TIL,

THE PILOT.
BY JULIA PLEASANTS.
On the bosom of the river -tl.
Where the sun unloosed its quiver,
Or the starlight streamed forever,
Sailed vessel light and free.
Morning dew-drops hung like mama
On the bright folds of her banner.
While the zephyrs rose to fan her
Softly to the radiant sea.
At her PROV. pilot beaming.
In the flush of youth, stood dreaming,
And he was In glorious seeming,
Like an angel from above.
Through his hair the breezes sported,
And as on the wave he floated,
Oft the pilot gel-throated,
Warbled lays Of hope and love.
Through those locks SO brightly flowing,
Buds Of laurel bloom were blowing,
And his hands anon were throwing
Music from the Tyre of gold
Swiftly down the stream he glided,
Soft the purple waves divided,
And rainbow arch abided,
OH his canvas snowy fold.
ANXIOUS hearts with fond devotion,
Watched him sailing to the ocean,
Praying that no wild commotion
Midst the elements might arise.
And he seemed some young Apollo
Charming summer winds to follow.
While the water flags corrola
Trembled to his music sighs.
But those purple waves enchanted
Rolled beside city haunted
By an awful spell that daunted
Every conner 20 her shore.
Night shades rank the night encumbered,
And pale marble statues numbered
Where the lotus eaters slumbeled,
And awoke to life ne more.
Then there rushed with lightning quick ness,
Ger his face mortal sickness,
And the dews in fearful thickness
Gathered DER his temples fair.
And there. swept dying mur1nur
Through the lovely southern summer
AS the beauteous pilot conner
Perished by that city there.
Still rolls on that radiant river,
And the. sun unbinds his CULVER,
And the starlight streams forever,
On its bosom as before.
But that vessels rainbow banner
Greets no more the gay savannah,
And that pilots lutte drops mama
On the purple waves no more.
