He Will give you presents at Christmas and on birth-days, and I guess you will have a pony too just like mine! Grand pa is so good! Oh Carrie I— but he is sad too sometimes—then you must sing for him —can you sing? And we must not ask him then to tell us any stories about 'my mamma, or yours! Sometimes I read to him, and he says I am “ a comfort I don’t know ex actly what that is, but it’s something nice, for grand pa smiles when he says it—oh such a beautiful smile 1 Alice says it is just like our dear minis ter’s&t Mayville, when he says those sweet words of Jesus, “ Suffer the little children to come unto me.” I suppose it is a Heavenly smile! for oh, Carrie! grand pa is so good! He is never angry l not even when I am naughty, which has been very, often! said I, sorrowfully. But he looks so grieved! Oh, Carrie, it is terrible! lam very miserable then! You will be good! It must be 'earn for you ! and you will help me, Carrie, won t you? I paused then, not because I had exhausted this, my favorite topic. Oh, no! But the door opened just then, and the dear subject of my eu logy entered followed by nurse Katie, and Maggie. They had been to the depot at Mayville, where they expeeted to meet Carrie. : Grand pa had been very ill, and was not yet well enough to go so far. I had watched with great interest Romeo hitched to the little wagon, which nurse Katie promised should bring we a "great heap of happiness!” But the gentleman under whose care our little darling had come all the way from her own sunny southern, home, was hastening to 'Linwood, having been summoned thither by the alarming illness of his mother. So leaving a message at the depot —he hurried on— his way Tying directly past our house-only stop ping until he saw his "Bird,” as he called Carrie —safe folded to grand pa’s heart; and the great travelling trunks set doWn carefully in the porch. That stranger gentleman! How my heart had thrilled as he hastily yet warmly wrung grand pa’s hand and in deep-rich tones of such sweetness! blesSed Carrie! promising to Bee her “ very soon” —God bless you 1” was all grand pa had said— «ords, Which cue ' ‘ xAhoseJkw " - - -as again red with dee] in silence he pressed mydear grand pa's hand. But how have I wandered! Nurse Katie and ,h« companion finding Carrie had gone on, took .time to attend to some business in town, so we had already been enjoying the presence of our new treasure some time before their return. .Nnrpe Katie’s eyes beamed with sweet motherly affection as she caught little Carrie in her arras and kissed again and again, the sweet rosy lips of our darling I Her voice trembled slightly, and I Saw bfjr dash away a tear as she said—“ Dear little petl It is her own mother's sweet face! Dear heart! It seems but yesterday since her sunny head rested in- Uursie’s arms I God- love my baby!" She kissed again in silence Carrie’sbroad wbitb brow, and tben said in a cheery voice- that sounded always to me like a great hope— “ But she must be tired now! She shall have a nice reit —little wanderer 1 Here, Maggie, come kiss my new baby, and then I must take better of her thau to bring the tears to those laughing eyes!” For the child’s lip had trembled and her eyes were bright with a sudden moisture, as she heard again the mention of her mother’s name. Maggie did as’she was told by giving the child such a hearty embrace, that grand pa laughed and said Carrie wouldbe “hurt” this time. They must be gentler, or his little fairy would be frightened to death. Grand pa took a seat in the great arm chair by the fire, and Maggie and I followed nurse up stairs -—whither she was carrying my little cousin, “for a rest" before supper time. Nurse seated her self in the rocking chair and rocked back and •'forth slowly for a while, with Carrie in her arms. 'She loosened the little travelling dress, and very ; softly passed her hands over the beautiful white shoulders of the tired child in a gentle soothing • way, that seemed wonderfully refreshing 1 All ' the while talking in a low tone, which I said was -just the way the birds talked to their babies! ■'There were plenty of pet-names and expressions ..rf, affection, intermingled with a sort of funning description of pleasures in store for the “ deaf little draatVire.” "This was a great accomplishment of nurse -Katie's.: Amoe called it “drawing Zone pictures." Anyhow.it was very delightful! I liked it! and I .guessed Carrie did too! She looked very happy- Maggie was busy unpacking the trunks, ana I tried to help. My time being divided about equally between “ undoing”. and “folding up,” as Maggie directed,-and running every now and ■•then to “take apeep” at “dear Carrie!” Maggie had a,fresh wardrobe laid out for Carrie. There ; was" the fine linen, so carefully marked by her mamma’s ownhaud—-the fairy like stookings and shoes— and. alaß, alas ! the little mourning robe of . soft merino! Maggie turned hastily away after seeing that “all was right,” and commenced my own toilet! I looked steadily out of the window for awhile —then buried my face in Maggie’s bosom, “llnsh,” said she softly, “Game will hear!” I ! made a great effort then to send hacle the dew drops: I did not know then how often this would be done in after years! Not childhood’s April tears, but drops of bitter anguish, wrung from , woman’s heart. ■ • . , , „ (jarrie was getting “tired of being rocked, she said; SO nurse Katie brought cool water and -bathed: the little flushed face—the weary curls Were made to look “pretty as ever,” Carrie said, and the little black dress with its snow-white ' linen-ruffles, carefully adjusted. The ,pure whiteness of the child’s complexion was heightened by the color of her dress. Her long golden curls fell over the most beautiful shoulders in the world, and her dimpled arms and little hands might have made a perfect embodi ment of a sculptor’s dream. Those soft blue eyes we by long silken lashes, and the most beautiful rose blended with the Uty on her sweet facet Buby lips parting in abappy smile, show ing the dear little pearls within! “A little rose bud of V mouth,” grand pa called it. This is ,a faint picture of my sweet Carrie! The greatest charm of that sunny face, was its sweet innocence and trusting love! Not the shadow of a cloud! No traces of an unhappy spirit! Dear, dear little Carrie! No wonder I stood, lost in admiration! involuntarily I glanced toward the great mirror. ' How often it had reflected my mother’s beautiful face k 'fftja WK handsome! I could stjvqem ber that! I was like her they said S .How cvuid it be! The forehead was too high for a child. The face so very pale! The hair clustering in close curls, only rendering by the blackness of their tint, that paleness more visible. The .eyes had the same midnight hue, but in |,heir bright ness they showed the fire of a haughty spirit! And the mouth too—how different from Carrie’s! The pale Kps, with their unchildlike firmness! And then overall the yearning restlessness, the eager questioning for something, scarcely defined, ideal, a mingling of love, and' happi ness! It took but a moment to see all this. - There was a heavy sigh, as I turned away, but a smile chased the cloud from my brow. That smile was thine, dear Angel Carrie! In a few moments we were in the sitting-room again—grand pa greeted our entrance .with a smile—and kissing us very tenderly, lifted us lightly to the coveted seat, upon his knee. Carrie had a great deal to “ tell.” Her journey had been a very pleasant one —the kindness of Mr. Peyton —supplying her every want. “I sat upon his knee nearly all Jhe way!” said the sweet child, “and he laid my head down so softly on his breast ! He told me all about the pretty places we passed, and when I was tired he made me go to sleep in his urms, and then he bought me such nice things to eat, too, and a funny picture-paper that made me laugh l And oh, when I was thinking about I—about 1 —about-— my mamma —he let me cry a long while without telling me I must not! And then he twisted my curls around his fingers like papa used to, and called me his ‘dear little sister. 1 Ob> I wish he would come and live with us, don’t you grandpa? Blanch would love him! .He has a Tittle sister with black eyes like hers, and oh, he loves her, oh, I can’t tell you how muchl” Grand pa smiled at the pretty enthusiast, while I buried my face in his bosom and trembled', I- did not know why! Would he love me? None did. but dear, dear grand pa—-nurse Katie and Alice I Maggie did ‘not; and my teacher did not, and oh, there was ho wonder why! Carrie had promised to! Would she keep that promise? Grand pa smoothed my curls softly with his dear hand —I wanted to cry —so I slipped down from his knee, and went oyer to the window, " to watch for Alice,” I said- The Window was in a deep recess, so I drew the heavy crimson curtains around me, and •was completely hidden from the sight of all in the room. CTo he continued 1 THE SALUTARY INFLUENCES, AND AT- TRACTIONS OF HOME. Home is a term of rioli import; around it clus ter thoughts the most thrilling, and recollections the most pleasing. Home should, and may be made the most attractive and lovely sppt on earth; the most charming of all other localities this side of the paradise of God. Amidst the changes in cident to our earthly career, and while tasting the bitter sediments of the cup of all earthly joys, how pleasing and heart-stirring the recollections of transient, mirth ful ,• childhood, parental kind ness and love, with the ten thousand endearments of home! No matter how painful our situation, and afflicting the circumstances that may surround us, the recollections of the childhood home will impart a thrilling influence to cheer the despon dent heart.' Home is'one of the most important schools, — here the mind receives the first, and perhaps the most lasting impressions. Here the elements of j character are collected and formed, and, in the great majority of instances, the destiny for both worlds is here, decreed. There is no school as im portant in its practical results, as a well regulated, family. And of all teachers for good or evil, there are none who have the power of the Mother. How could it be otherwise, when her whole deport ment is ever before her children as their example? tn no relation does she exercise so powerful an influence, both immediate and prospective, as in the maternal. Her smiles and affectionate tones call into exercise the first affectionate emotions that spring up in the heart. She cherishes and flflliptiiSli dctvtiuuaywid > - teaches the tongue to lis its infant prayer to God our Heavenly Father. It may not be the province of a mother, by the power of her instruction, or piety of her example, to make of her son a great man, in the common acceptation of that term; that must be determined by a higher law, and greater power. But should he be possessed of distinguished talents, she may be the honored instrumentality of adding to them that virtue, and moral excellence, without which mere talents aro only a splendid deformity. Should he be destitute of extraordinary gifts of genius, give no evidence of more than ordinary intellectual endowments, the greater should be her efforts to develop, in their strongest growth, such powers as he does possess—to early impress the mind with the value of industry, systematic economy,, and perseverance in intellectual and moral culture. . Her example, influence, words of instruction and cheer, will be like seed falling upon the virgin soil, and produce a luxuriant harvest. The influence of a mother, with the attractions of home, may impart an influence to her son, that may, by-the bießsing of Heaven, fit him, if not to command, to become an honest, industrious citi zen, and useful member of society,—sympathetic to the suffering, true to his friends, and ; forgiving to his enemies. And the world would be. better off, by far, this day, iad we less of what is gene rally considered great, and more of the modest, industrious, virtuous class of citizens. ' ?‘How empty learning, and how vain is art, ' Save where it guides the life, and mends the heart.” What constitutes the centre of attraction of every home f To what do the thoughts turn, when weary with wandering, and the heart is sad with disappointment, but to homeP Where shall un alloyed sympathy be sought hut. at home, where the maternal bosom is always ready and waiting to share in our adversity and dispel its gloom; and where can be found a tribunal, this side of heaven; where the sins and follies Of inconsiderate childhood and youth may hope to find forgiveness as freely as at home, in the heart of a fond, de voted mother? A sister’s influence contributes largely to the attractions and salutary influence of Home. What a rich variety of incidents, —a multitude of youthful associations, —are summoned before the mind at the mention of the word sister. No word will thrill the heart more acutely; almost every hour from tlie earliest period of our Being is fraught with pleasing recollections of a sister’s love. - In infancy, childhood, aDd in youthful days, we were protected by her watchful eye, or made happy by the sweet melody of her voice. If, perchance, we wandered in paths of vice, she it was, who, with kind words or gentle reproof/brought the tears of sorrow to our eyes, and we wandered not again. When sick, She sat by our bedside, to sooth and sympathize. Who that has experienced such tokens of a sister’s affections, but can testify to her influence in forming the character for life. Her ’winning eloquence has charms Capable of alluring the .steps of a brother from haunts of dis sipation. By her he is induced to spend hjs evenings at home; at her solicitation he'visits the house of God. In company with her he move* in circles of respectability and refinement. In her character he beholds the virtues and, graces that ,adorn the female, blended in all their ■ loveliness and beauty. Did-sisters realize more fully the responsibility of their position in the family, and devote less time in the frivolities of the day, and more to the cultivation of the intellect and morals of their younger brothers and.sisters, society would reap a rich reward from their timely efforts, and they would enjoy the pleasing assurance of having made many a home happy, many a heart glad, and many a brother a man. Contemplate the invalid wandering far from home in search of health. He seeks a more salu brious, climate in hope of recruiting his wasting strength, and to prolong the lamp of life already flickering in its socket. , He is in a distant country, far from home and loved ones, amidst the soft at mosphere of a southern climate; every breath of air is filled with, balm, flowers, beauty, and fra grance cover the earth arouffll him, but is he happy ? Tell him that disease has fastened its •fatal grasp upon him; that no soft, balmy breezes can loosen its hold; that he must descend to the hades of the tomb, and are his emotions? To what distant point does he turn Over what lovely spot on earth do his thoughts hover and delight to linger? ..It.*■ W The softest air to his sinking heart,, would > breezes of his own native land. The soft whispers of maternal love would be far more grateful to despondent spirit, than all the balmy-breath ot a southern climate. How expressive. that form ot oriental benediction: “ May you die among your kindred.” There is something repulsive m the very idea of dying away from home. Strangers may be kind, but it is not the BOOthmg kindness of home and the affections of a mother; it W not the delicate, affectionate attentions of a loving-sis ter. Many a thoughtless youth has left the pa rental roof, despite the entreaties and tears of a kind mother and loving sister, and wandered far away, and only appreciates the value and endear ments of home when stricken down with disease, and laid : upnn a bed of death ; he then may de plore his folly when it is too late; then would he give worlds, were they at his command, could he only die at home. “Home! how that blessed word thrills tho ear! i In it what recollections blend! - a ' It tells of childhood’s scenes so dear, _ • ' And speaks of many a cherished friend. « O ! through the world, where’erwp roam, Though sohls he pure and lips be kind, The heart, with fondness, turns to home, StUl turns to those it leftbehind,” ; r •■;••• .gt.

" , , ' , George drew the knife from his pocket, and pushed it rudely towards her, sayin'g at the same time, “ Now don’t out your fingers off;" . The knife fell upon the floor, and', as it was evening,it took Marysome minutes to findit,and her brother made no offer of assistance. He was studying a geography lesson for the next day; seemed to be very much engaged with it; At length he closed his book and atlas, exclaiming: “ Well, I’m glad that lesson is learned. . “And now will you .please to show me howto do the sum, before you begin to study again : ? said Mary, who had been for some time puzzling oyer a sum in subtraction, which appeared to her very difficult. “You are big enough to do your own sums, I should think, Miss Mary,” was the answer. “Let me see. Whatl this simple question. You must be stupid, if you cannot do that. How ever, 1 suppose I must help you. Give me the pencil.” . . • , The sum was soon explained, quite to Mary s satisfaction, and several hints were given her as to those which followed, which prevented her , meet ing with further difficulty.. Her brother did not mean to be unkind. He loved to help hey. ,It was only his manner which seemed harsh ancl cross. . , ■ - Presently his mother took her sewing, and sat down at the table where the children were study ing. George wished for the large dictionary which was in -the book-case-at -the farther end- of ■ the room, and he took the lamp and went to look for it, leaving his mother and sister to sit in dark ness until his return. i “That is impolite, George,” said his mother; “there is another lamp upon the mantle-piece; which you can light, if you wish to use one.” George made no reply, hut instantly replaced the lamp, and lighted another After finding the dictionary, he returned to his seat, and hastily blew out the .lamp, instead of placing the extin guisher over the" flame. The disagreeable smell of the oil filled the room, and his father, who was sitting near, reading the newspaper, looked up and said : - . . - “ You are impolite again, my son. Have you not often been told that it is not goodmanners, to blow out a lamp in that way?’’ “I cannot always think about good' manners/' replied George, rather rudely “And yet they are of great consequence, George. ' -intions; are really: good, and ' ' s - fellow beings' may “If we do what is, right, father, I should hot think it much matter how WC did it.” “ You are mistaken, George. It makes a vast difference in the amount of good we perform. • I will tell you of a little instance which will show the truth of this. I visited this morning a.very. . poor woman in the neighborhood. My means did not enable me to do a great deal for her relief, but for the little which I gave her, she appeared deeply grateful. Finding that she had formerly been employed as a.washerwoman hy a gentleman whose office is near mine, and whom I knew to be wealthy and benevolent, I asked why she did not apply to him for some relief. The tears came into her eyes as she replied:— .. “ ‘lndeed, sir, I know the gentleman is very kind/and has helped me before this when things went hard ; but, indeed, I would rather suffer than -go to him; he has such'a.harsh way of speaking to a poOr body. A kind word is a good thing,, sir; it comforts the troubledheart. : A penny from some is worth a dollar from others.’ ” , : PARENTAL PATIENCE AND PERSEVE- ‘ “Oh dear 1” exclaimed a young, mother, “how many times have I corrected Ellen for "Ihat one thing, and she does not remember it!” __ This was said in the presence of her own aged mother, who had reared a large family of children, and thus “been through the mill,” as we say, and the 61'd lady replied in words of wisdom, learned from a long and eventful experience: “ Yesl and you will have to-keep correcting her for this one thing until she is twenty-one years of age.” This was “cold comfort,” it is true, hut there ply involved a great fact. The mother who ex pects' to discipline all the evil out of a child’s heart in a few months, has yet to learn a very im portant part, of family government. A little boy may learn his letters in four weeks, by studying them only fifteen minutes in a day; but try him on saying “please," when he asks for anything at the .table, or .elsewhere, and see if it be not “line upon line, and precept upon precept.” How .is it with the respectful “yes, sir!" aDd “no, sir,P" We have heard'parents complain that their chil dren were so prone to forget the use of thesq, .eu phonious replies, even after ins|ruetipn and. cpr r reetion for a season, but they, soon forget, and .ou t comes the bluhl, “Givie me this” or.“give me that,” and’ the equally rOiigh “yes” or “no.” There appears to be more inclination in children ■to forget the-good lessons of-home than the bad .things which they learn in the street; and it is, proof of the natural bias of the heart to evil, A very little child yrill catch some vulgar or profane word from another, which the counsels and whip pings of months will not correct. In some un guarded moment, it will drop from' his lips, ri'bt withstanding all previous chastisements. v lt is not so with good lessons. How prone he is 1 to forget them! They appear to slip from the mind as an eel slips through-the hand. : The parent wonders,' and perhaps thechild too. 'But it is strange, only when we do not consider what the human , heart is, that it is naturally ipplined to sin as the sparks to fly upwards. A correct view of the heart ought to prepare us to expect that theyoung will learn the bad more readily than the good. ■ Ail these things, however, demand patience ' and perseverance. It is not one year, nor two, that is always long, enough to establish the habit of saying “yes, sir,” or “please.” The mother must-make up her, mind, to very unpleasant and tedious repetitions, ere sfep. can realize the consum mation of Her hopes in. this and other respects. It is of no avail to say, “l am discouraged,” dr to conclude that a child'never will learn. Patience and perseverance will achieve happy results. Progress of Foreign Missions. The progress of foreign missions since 1810 hasbeen very great. The annual receipts of all mission socie ties then existing in England and America did ’hot exceed #200,000.

Zachary was the as- ’ sociate of Clarkson and Wilberforee in the agita tion for the suppression of the slave-trade and; for 1 the abolition of slavery. He was also con nected with Bentham and Romilly, our great: law reformers, and took an active part in alb the philanthropic movements of the day; His son, therefore, at his entrance on life* was sur rounded by influential friends, who could at once open a career for his talenlg which he was npt slow to iinprove. Hitherto he has been known to the public mainly by his writings. Now that he is gone, publicity is given to innu merable acts of private hut princely munificence. His charities to poor authors were unbounded.. It is said, and I believe truly, that he would frequently give away as much as £1,500 a yeat' in this way. His personal habits were not ex pensive, his tastes retired and domestic, his in come large, and he : could therefore indulge: freely his generous instincts. I have just heard from a gentleman who! knew him personally, an: incident in his life which reflects upon him the highest, honor, My informant witnessed the: scene. He had just been called to the. House of Lords, and was entering that.splendid cham ber to take his seat for the first time among the :Peers of the Realm. Many of the noblest of the land were pressing round'him to congrats, late him on his elevation, and to welcome .him ! among their number, when he sa4r,-standing near, a literary man of his acquaintance, and in that proud moment he turned from his noble friends to give a cordial greeting to the untitled* author, It'w&s a recognition’of the peerage ofr intelleet in the pre'sence : of . the peerage of rank.; He died worth £BO,OOO, a good snm to be amassed by the pen. . It is some, deduction, ho wever,, from the estimate-which might thns be formed of the rewards of literary life, to notice that the next name to Macaulay’s, in the list of wills proved in the Court of Probate, is that of a tailor, who died worth £IOO,OOOMhe tailor beating the author by twenty per cent. . Fattening Poultry.—We take the following pertinent remarks from the American Agricul turist upon a prevalent mode of fattening (?) poul try Without ventilation and cleanliness, so.imr portant in fattening, no perfectly good poultry flesh, can he obtained. We know it is quite com mon with many people—particularly country ta ; vorn-keepers-—to cram their Chickens and other poultry into narrow and close boxes, or coops, .throw whole grain in any quantity upon the floor, with a saucer.or little basin of water, once a day, and think they will fatten well on that. But they: are wonderfully mistaken. The air they breathe is fetid with the stench of the fowls; the food fairly smells before they eat it, and'the whole flesh is tainted with the foul food, foul air, and foul water. We. have sat down to a table'with' Such poultry cooked upon it, and the smell was as bad as that of the coop they inhabited before slaughter, and this, too, was in the finest com and' poultry Tegion* in ; the world, where the best, and very perfection of dressed and cooked poultry should abound. Making Cheese in Winter.—A correspond ent of fae Rural New Yorker- regards the present practice of makmg. it in the summer .both absurd and expensive, The winter, he says, is by-far the best time to make cheese,, bedause the milk is richer, more easily .managed, and there is no danger from -flies, or souring, of vessels. There is also more time, and milk can be produced cheaper, and of a better quality than in summer. .'
