144 grnilg Hitch. THE MOTHER WHO HAS A CHILD AT SEA. BV ELIZA COOK. There'* »n eye that looks on the swelling cloud, Folding the moon In a funeral shroud That watches the stars dying, one by one, Till the Whole of heaven's calm light hath gone; There’s an ear that lists to the hissing surge, As the mourner turns to the anthem dirge, That eye 1 that ear! oh, whose can they be But a mother’s who has a child at sea? There’s a cheek that's getting ashy white. As the tokens of storm come on with night— There's a form that's fixed at the lattice pane, To mark how the gloom gathers o’er the main, White the yeasty billows lash the shore WIA loftier sweep and heavier roar— That cheek! that form! oh, whose can they be, But a mother’s who hath a son at sea? The rushing whistle chills her blood, As the North wind hurries to scourge the flood j And the icy shiver spreads to her heart As the first red lines of lightning start. The Ocean bolts i all mute she stands, With.parted Ups and tight clasp’d hands 5 Oh, marvel not at her fear, for she IS a mother who has a chlld at sea._ ■ She conjures up the fearful scene Of yawning Waves, where the ship between,. With Striking keel,, and splintered mast, Is plunging hard and foundering fast. She mm j her hoy, With dark drenched hair, CUipigihg on to the wreek, with a cry of despair; Oh, the vision Is maddening I No grief can be Like a mother’s who hath a cfilM at Sea. She presses her brow—she sinks and kneels, Whilst the blast howls on, and the thunder peals; She breathes not a word, for her passionate prayer Is too fervent and deep for the Ups to bear; It is poured In the long convulsive sigh, In the straining glance of an upturned eye, And a holier offering cannot he . Than the mother’s prayer for her chUd at sea. Oh! I love the winds when they spurn control, For they suit my own bond-hating soul; I like to hear my soul sweeping past, Like the eaglet's pinions, free and fast ; But a pang wUI rise, with sad aUoy, To soften my spirit and sink my joy, When I think how dismal their voices must be, To a mother who has a child at sea. "I WILL BE GOOD TO-DAY” «I will he good, dear mother,” . I heard a sweet child say; “I wilt be good, now watch me; I will be good ail day.” She lifted up her bright young eyes, With a Soft and pleasing smile s Then a mother’s hiss was on her Ups, So free and pure from guile. And when the night came, that little one, In kneeling down to pray, Said, In a soft and whispering lone, *< Have I been good to-day? ” Oh, many, many bitter tears *T would save us, did we say, Like that dear child, with earnest hearts, “I wilt he good to-day.” • ARTHUR AND THE OLD CLOCK. r One Sabbath day Arthur was left at home alone, while all the rest of the family attended church. Instead of regarding the day as he Bbould, in the quiet perusal of the Bible and other good books, he made it a day of self-amusement. As soon as all were gone, Arthur began to search all the curious nooks and corners of the time-honored dwelling. Thegarrat was explored and many rare curiosities exhumed. Ancient desks and drawers were ex amined, revealing their curious ioontents to his im pertinent and ehudish curiosity. An old clock stood in the corner, with a tall, gaunt, brown ease, Within the dark, hollow closet, Arthur had often peered, but ho had not been allowed to examine very closely the myste ries of the clock ease. Now was a fine opportunity. He' opeded the narrow door. The long pendulum Was swinging hack and forth at regular intervals With a loud tick, tick, tick, tiek. Two long, cylin drical, tin weights, and two very little lead weights were hanging by small cords. Arthur had seen his father “wind up the clock,” and he knew it was done by pulling down the little Weights. “It must be rare sport,” he thought, “to wind up the old clock.” He would make the at tempt, at any rate. So taking hold of the small weight, he tugged away right manfully. The purred, and the great weight began to “Faster,” said Arthur, “go up faster,” and gbtfpg a sudden pull, the cord broke, and down came the heavy weight With a loud noise! Then there Was a terrible whirring among the clock wheels for a moment and then it Btopped. ' The ticking ceased, and the pendulum stood still! “O, what have I done now?” cried Arthur, in distress. “O, what will father say to me, when he sees what I have done?” Arthur closed the dock door, and for the remainder of the day, un til his parents returned, was a very humble, quiet hoy. When bis father returned, on looking at the old plock. he perceived that it had stopped. Opening the eloek door, he saw that the cord of one of the weights had broken, and that the weight had fallen to the bottom of the ease. “.How is this, Arthur; did you know that the dock is stopped ?" « Yes, sir,” replied Arthur, “I heard a great noise in the clock case, and when I went and fcokeJtaj-haluildjtwaa.silent.” Mr. MiltOU made no more that it was an accidental occurrence. Night came, and little Arthur went to bed as usual. His father had. tied the cord, and the clock was now ticking loudly as ever. To Arthur it ticked loader than oyer. It seemed to say, in the silence of the night, “Boy! boy 1 hoy!” “A lie! a lie! a lie!” « Own it! own it! own it!” Arthur did not sleep much. Conscience whis pered to him, and with the words of the old clock, said, “ Arthur, you have told a lie." Early in the morning he arose and gazed up Into the face of the . old clook. It looked very sternly at him. “Quick! quick! quick! quick! " said the clock. So the poor boy Went to his father and told all, with a very sorrowful heart. His father freely forgave him. And' he prayed that God would forgive him, and never suffer him to tell a lie again. Bear children, never tell an untruth. Lying is a IOW, mean vice, and very wicked. „ The Well Spring. AN ALLEGORY. A humming-bird met a. butterfly, and being pleased with the beauty of its person, and the glory of ihi wingS. made an offer of perpetual friendship. “I cannot think of it,” was the reply, “as you once spurned me, and called me a crawling dolt.” “Impossible!” exclaimed the humming-bird; “ 1 always entertained the highest respect for such beautiful creatures as you." “Perhaps you do now,” said the other, “but when you insulted.me I was a caterpillar. So let me give you a bit of advice. Never insult the humble, as they may gome day become your superiors.” A beautiful smile the female countenance what the Sunbeam is feS|fiidscape. It embel lishes an inferior face, ana redeems an ugly ope. -.fir : J ‘ ANTICIPATED SEPARATION. One of the most trying anticipations with regard to death, in the minds of many, long before the event arrives, is separation from those whom we love. And yet there is probably nothing in human experience more remarkable than the re signation, and cheerfulness, with which some, who have had every thing to make life desirable, have left all and followed Christ, when he came to lead them through the valley. The young wife and mother in her dying hours, becomes the comforter of her husband; she'turns and looks at the infant who ’s held up to receive her farewell, and the mother alone is calm, sheds no tears, gives the fare well kiss with composure. “Thy rod” is support ing her. “Thy staff” is keeping at.bay the pas sions and fears of the natural heart. So a widowed mother leaves a large family of young children, with a peace which surpasses all understanding. And the father of a dependent family, which, never could, in a greater measure, need a father’s pre sence, looks upon them from his dying ’bed, and says to them, with the serenity of the patriarch, “Behold, I die; but God shall be with you." Nothing is more true than this, that dying grace is for a dying hour; that is, we cannot, in health and strength, have the feelings which belong to the hour of parting; but as any and every scene and condition into which God brings his children, has its peculiar frames of mind fitted for the ne cessity of each case, we need not make the useless effort to practise all the resignation, and experience all the comforts, which come only when they are actually needed. We do not often hear the-first part of the following passage quoted; but in such rocky and thorny paths as we are often made to through, how good it is to read, “ Thy shoes shall be iron and brass;, and as thy days, so shall thy strength be." . ' ; A CONNUBIAL SERMON. A connubial little sermon, from the text, “Be happy as you are," is thus preaehcd by a contem porary print:—“Wife and mother, are you tired and out of patience with .your husband’s and your children's demands upon your time and attention? Are you tempted to speak out angry feelings to that .faithful, but, -perhaps, sometimes,heedless or exacting husband of yours? or to scold and fret at those sweet and beautiful ones? Do you groan and say, ‘ What a fool I was to marry, and .leave my father’s house, where I lived at ease and in quiet? ’ Are you, by reason of the care and weariness of body which wife-hood and neighbor hood must bring, forgetful of and unmindful for their comforts and their joys? Oh! wife and mother, what if a Btroke should smite your husband and lay him low ? What if your children should be snatched from your arms and from your bosom ? What if there were no true,' strong- heart to r you to lean upon ? What if there were no soft little in nocents to nestle in your arms, and to love you or receive your love? How would it be with you then? Be patient and kind, dear wife; be un wearying and long-suffering, dear mother; for you know not how: long you may have .with you your best and dearest treasures—you know not how long you may .tarry with them. Let there be nothing for you to remember which will wring your heart with remorse if they leave you alone; let there he nothing for them to remember but sweetness and love unutterable, if you are called to leave them by the way., Be patient, he pitiful, be tender of them all, for death will step sooner or later between them and you. And oh! what would you do if you should be doomed to .sit soli tary and forsaken through years and years? Be happy as you are, evert with all your trials; for, believe it, thou wife of a loving and true husband, there is no lot in life so blessed as thine own." GOD DON’T FORGET. A young wife (from the State of Connecticut,) who had left fortune, friends and native laud for Christ, was permitted in her distant missionary home to embrace a little son. The babe was named Willie for his father; and when but a few days old was consecrated by .his'believing parents to the Lord in the solemn rite of baptism. To his mother especially, this was a sacred transac tion. She felt that she had placed upon his in fant brow the seal of a divine promise; and her faith was unwavering that the blessings of the covenant would rest upon him. A heathen woman living in the mission family, witnessed the solemn ceremony, and made many inquiries as to its na ture and design. When informed that the appli cation of the baptismal waters had in itself no saving efficacy, she exclaimed in the broken Eng lish which she had learned, “ What de use, den ? You no live to bring up .baby—[the missionary’s wife was in failing health] his fader die perhaps —no body tell of dis —baby no remember—who know he belong to de Lord?” “Ah,” replied the mother, her countenance illuminated with faith and hope, “ God will know it; and he don’t forget!” The prediction of the heathen attendant was soon in part fulfilled. The believing mother was called away from earth; and the child was taken to the native land of its parents. There he was kindly cared for, and through the good providence of God was brought up by Christian friends' in the ways of virtue. Be "was an obedient ehild, trained to habits of industry and order, and faith fully taught the doctrines and duties of religion. Yet he grew almost to manhood without seek ing a personal interest in that Divine Bedcemer, to whom in infancy his parents’ faith had conse crated him, and it seemed as if the faithless heathen, might almost repeaLihe question, “ What’.s the use ?" Willie, now in his twentieth year, received a very flattering and lucrative business offer, which would take him a thousand miles from his home and pious kindred,' and expose him, without the safe-guard of personal piety, to the temptations of a large city in one of our Western States. “ The situation is a good one for business/’ said the uncle, “and the business itself is unexcep tionable. If Willie was a Christian, Lshould not hesitate to bid him go. Ah, Ms‘mother little thought when she dedicated him so early to. jhe. Lord, that he would live to manhood without be coming pious. I wonder if he ever thinks of that parental consecration; I must remind him of it, ere he can leave ns." William felt solemn when the scene was - thus rehearsed to him.. But he was hurrying to pay a visit to his grandfather before setting out on his journey West and so he dismissed the sub ject for that time from his thoughts. Arrived the next day at the paternal home of his parents, his feelings became tender and impressible. He thought of the long journey before him, with its graver and deeper perils. He wished that he were what his mother believed he would be—a child of God. And as if to ripen his impressions and feelingsinto'fruitful purposes, the providence of God sent that very evening, to preach 1 in/bis grandfather’s church, the Rev. ——A., This gentleman was an intimate friend ■of * William's mother during the days of her youthful loveli ness; and his heart yearned over the youth for the sake of the dead. God blessed that sermon to his soul. William saw and felt his danger; and fled to the atoning blood of Christ, for pardon and salvation.. Before he left his friends, they had the cheering hope that he had taken upon himself the vows of dedi cation made for him in infancy, and that wherever he lived, he would “ live unto the Lord.” Christian father and mother! let this true nar rative strengthen your faith in God. Yon may be taken from your ohildren—they may be scat tered to threads of the, earth—Christian friends ’may become discouraged in laboring fob their conversion. But one thing is certain. If yon have sincerely consecrated them to God, he will surely remember it. A royal answer to a scoffing world, who sneeringly ask, “ What’s the use?” may be found in the three words so touchingly spoken to th'ut heathen doubter, “ God don’t for get.” Religious Exercise in Boston Schools.— At a meeting of the Boston Board of School Committee, held m the Council Chamber, Mayor Lincoln pre siding, the following rule, or general order was made: “ The 'morning exercises ofall the schools Shall com mence wuh the reading of a portion of the Scriptures the repetition of the Lord’s Prayer by the teacher in each room ; and the afternoon session shall’close with appropriate singing.” f rnnian jgitttll******- THE MORALS OF TRADE- An ancient writer, named Hosea, once said, speaking of a tribe of men and likening 1 individual: “Heis a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand} he loveth to oppress. However true this may have been ot mer chants, as such, in a past age, it is not true ot all merchants of the last or the present age; ana, therefore, while the deceitfulness, knavery, selfish ness, and dishonorableness of merchan ts among us should be, as they have been and will be tn this paper, held up to .opprobrium, it is right that the upright, independent, truthful, and “ princely merchants should be commended, m contrast with those, of an opposite character, so that the ba lances, in which are weighed the just and the un just, should be held by Justice. ~ . Auctioneers. A countryman strayed into a city auction-store, and stood near the auctioneer while he was rapidly selling various fabrics, stating that they cost so much sterling, that the colors were fast, that there were but few in the market, that they were going at half their value, that it was the last opportunity of buying so cheap, .etc., etc., pledging his word and honor that all he had said was sacredly true. At the close of the sale the countryman, leaning on his cane, looked up into the face of the auctioneer, and said—“ Al low me, nir, to ask you ope question: where, do you cxpect to go lohen-you die?” An auctioneer in one of our‘large cities was so truthful, so noble in his whole deportment, so inflexible in stating tho exact qualities of • goods, that the company ever reposed the most implicit confidence in Ins asser tions. He often had evening sales, and bids were very freely made by those at too great a distance to handle the goods. Buyers had perfect confi dence that what was said of every article, of their cost, their quality, and -tlieir value, was exactly so. This Tnfl.n’s business and riches locrsascd. from : 'yeaf .toyear,'and-his reputation kept .pace with his prosperity. • Defrauding the Government. Au importer, who was also an officer of a church, .but one who practically bel eved that religion was good in its place, set his wits, at work to evade the revenue laws, thus defrauding his country while he in jured his - neighbors. . There was an ad valorem duty oil a' certain af tidle, blit by an ingenious con trivance be managed to get round the JaWs and enrich himself, while every other importer lost money. We know that man well, and to mention his name wbuld be to tell the story which has been a thbusand times told in business circles. Another merchant, who unfortunately did not belong to any church,and.who was sometimes,, we are sorry to say, both profane and passionate, had such a scrupulous regard for common honesty, the just enactments of government, and commer cial integrity, that if he found in a^ package of goods imported by hinv an extra article, even a dress for his wife, he would be sure to enter it at the Custom-House. : He would soon have, cheated his neighbor outright as obtain an advan tage over him in such, a mean -way. This man practised moire religion than he professed, while the other professed much but practised little. . Union-Savers. A Southern trader came to . this city to do a. rare thing—to pay cash for his entire purchases. Determined not to buy of any man who was not- true to the. South, he went to the store of and said, “Are you an Abolitionist? If you are, I will hot buy of you.” The reply was, Yes; I am an Abolitionist, for although I would like to trade with you, I cannot deny my principles. The Southerner next went -tb the store of". '■■■'■ , who was an officer of 1 an anti-slave rry society. The Same question was put to him, and the reply was, “ Why, I, no. I don’t like all the Abolitionists do.” Next ho went to the warehouse of: ——, a well known anti-slavery man, propounding the same question to him.— This merchant with rare self-possession and Attic wit, replied, “ I should like to ask you n. question or two, in my turn; a!s yon a close-communion Baptist ?” The Southerner looked surprised, and said, “What if I am 1” He was answered, “ Why, in that case, I cannot Sell you any goods ; not even for cash.” After pricing goods in the market, the Southerner returned to this store and made his .purchases. On settling bis bill, he was inquisitive to know why Mr. would not sell goods, for cash even, to close-communion Bap tists. Mr. -*— laughed, and said, “ I have no prejudice against them, ot any other sect, but you asked me a foolish cjuestiou,' and I replied by ask ing you another ; that’s all.” Shoemakers. It is a common. remark that “ shoemakers never tell the” truth,” although ;we •believe them to‘be, 'as a-whole, asireliable as men in ■ other trades. A merchant, after ordering a pair of boots in this city, asked, “ When will they be done ?” “ Next Saturday night,” jwas the prompt reply. “ Now you know you lie,” said the plain-spoken merchant. “ Well,” said the -bootmaker, -‘‘theyshall! certainly dohe.by.next Tuesday;” : That man was so in the habit of lying under such circumstances that ho scarcely ever spoke the truth, except by mere accident. . Such a mechanic is a living preacher, of the devil, known and read of all men with whom he comes in* con tact, waxing worse and worse, without reforma tion, his last —end in this life is usually poverty. Old Saying. “Honesty is the best policy.” We have heard this from our youth up, but honesty is something better than- : policy—it creates Self respect,' acquires confidence,' inspires contentment, and insures success. A large lumber merchant, and a scrupulously honest man, of Boston, who from small-beginnings, arose ito!be-aiman of wealth and influence, once said, “If I had no moral princi ple, I should ,say, I believe that the surest way to make a fortune is tb be strictly honest.” . Think of this, young men. Commercial integrity is sound philosophy. It is something good to live by and to die by, while' dishonest, gains torment the conscience, living and dying. On an old tomb-stone in Dorchester, Mass., is 'the following quaint inscription} written by some one who had an appreciation of moral worth, albeit he was a poor poet. Who does not desire to merit such an - encomium ? - «t Here lies the body of deacon David Auricula, Who in the ways of God walked perpendicular.” Independent. THE OPIUM EATER. A correspondent of an English journal con tributes the following to the anecdotes 'already in vogue respecting Thomas de Quincey: “ In a recent leading article in your journal you -have ably pointed out, the grievous defect in se veral of our most eminent literary men, lately de ceased, of the:Christian element in .their distin guished writings. Among .those was my late be loved school-fellow, Thomas de Quincey, or, as we more familiarly called him Tom Quincey. I knew him well, both at-school and college. While 1 lament with you this Christian neutrality in his writings; I feel it my duty to ’ rescue his 'memory from any approach to infidelity. His mother was a most excellent woman, the intimate friend of Hannah More. His sister was the first wife of the Rev. Philip Serle, son of that eminent Chris tian writer, Ambrose Serle. ; I can well' remember a warm discussion; with him at the college,'on the merits of Southey and Coleridge, iff wfecii I rash ly charged him with some leaning toward deistical principles. He was so much affectliff that ■he burst into tears, took up his cap, and suddenly left the room. “ He never forgave that insinuation, and we ceased to correspond ’in after life. But a few months ago it occurred to me that I would en deavor to renew our friendship, as we were both in our seventy-fifth year. My letter reached him just as he was dying, and it was thought best not to raequaint him .with the contents, as he } ,was al ready delirious. But his daughter, Mra’fCraig, wrote to me the day after his ueeease, giving me a minute account of his last illness. In hie wan derings he was frequently talking of little chil dren, with an evident allusion to the children:,em braecd by our Saviour. Very shortly before he died he complained that his feet were parched, and desired his clothes to bo removed. While ex amining his feet he sajd to his daughter, ‘Yon are lbqkinght the feet which Christ has washed.’ I mention this anecdote to show that his dying ini’ ®tmsu auplisst. liriou?, were, engaged on Ms :an be no higher evidence of and instincts of the heart oiuntarily transpires through thoughts, though ( Redeemer.
