A LITTLE LONGER.
A little longer yet, a little longer,
Shall violets bloom for thee, and sweet birds sing,
And the lime branches, where soft winds are blowing,
Shall mnrmur the sweet promise of the spring.
A little longer yet, a little longer,
Thou shalt behold the quiet of the morn,
While tender grasses and awakening flowers,
Send up, a golden tint to greet the dawn.
A little longer yet, a little longer,
The tenderness of twilight shall be thine,
The rosy.clouds that float o’er dying daylight,
Nor fade till trembling stars begin to shine.
A little longer yet, -a little longer,
,Shall starry night be beautiful for thee,
And the aold moon shall look through the bine silence,
Flooding her silver path upon the sea.
A little longer yet, a little longer, *
Life shall be thine—Ufa with its power to will,
Life with Its strength to bear, to love, to conquer,
Bringing its thousand joys thy heart to fill.
A little lohger.yet, a little longer,
. The voices then hast loved shall charm thine ear;
And thy true heart that now beats quick to hear them
A little longer yet, shall hold them dear.
A little longer yet, joy while thou mayst;
Love sn'd rejoice, for time has naught in store;
And sb3h the darkness Of the grave shall bid thee
Love and and feel and know no more.
A little longer still—patience, beloved:
A little longer still, ere heaven unroll
The glory; and the brightness, and the wonder,
Sternal and divine, that waits thy soul.
A little longer ere Hfe, true, immortal,
(Not this our shadowy life) will be thine own, . '
And thon shalt stand where winged archangels worship,
And tiembllng bow before the great white throne. r

A MOTHER’S INJUNCTION ON PRESENTING
HER SON WITH A BIBLE.
Remember, love, who gave thee this.
When other days shall come;
When she who had thy earliest kiss,
Sleep? lit her narrow home.
Remember, ’twas a mother gave
The gift to one—she’d die to save.
That mother sought a pledge of love,
The holiest, for her son, 4 -
And from the gifts of God above
She chose a goodly one.
'She ohose for her beloved boy, _ _
The source of light and life and joy 1
And bade him keep the gift, that when
The parting hour would come,
They might hava.hope, to meet again
In. an eternal home.
She said, his faith in that, would be
Sweet incense to her memory.
And should the scoffer, in his pride,
Laugh that fond faith to scorn.
And bid him cast the pledge aside,
That he, from youth bad borne;
She bade him pause, and ask his breast
If he or she had loved him best.
A parent’s blessing on her son
Goes with this holy thing:
The love that would retain the one
Must to the other cling,
Remember, ’tis no idle toy,
A mother's gift, remember, boyl
BRINGING THE MIND TO IT.
“If you can only bring your mind to it.”
Daisy was going through the kitchen to get some
fresh water for Glover, her canary bird, and heard
her father say-this sentence to some one. She
did hot bear what they were talking about, hut
she kept thinking over these words. They were
not 1 new to her; she had heard her 1 father use
them before, hut she never had thought what he
meant till then. “It isn’t just bringing the body
to do a thing,” she said to herself, “and it isn’t
just keeping # the cross feelings out of •sight of
other people. I mean to try to remember it all
day.”
It was not long before she had occasion to
practise it.
There was an iron- rod with a hook by one of
the windows in the dining-room, where she usually
hhhg Clover's cage after he had taken his morning
hath. Then, as the bright sun dried his yellow,
feathers, be would hop from oae perch to another,
pttll at the long sprays of obickweed hanging from
the wires of ms cage, crack a seed with nis sharp
bill, give a peek at his piece of bread, take a sip
of water; then, turning his head cunningly to one
side, fill the room with his joyous song. This
made Daisy very happy as She was busied about
putting the plates and cups on the breakfast-table,
stopping 'becasionally to watch Her pretty pet, and
say sw.eet bits of nonsense to him.
Bht it happened this morning, Miss Betsey was
sitting under Glover’s hook by the window, and
when Daisy came in with the cage, and Said,
“Please, Miss Betsey, will you move a little,'so I
can hang Up Clover’s Cage?” she said, fretfully,
“Take the dirty., noisy thing away; I don’t want
him here, right over ray head.” Miss Betsey
didn't fealty mean to he disobliging, but she was
not pieasanWetnpered when a little girl, and as she
did not 'try very hard to give up speaking cross
when she felt angry, or feeling eross when any
thing flldnot quite suit her, she became more self
ish and disagreeable as she grew 6lder. Now she
was wholdflady, and as she had no home, she used
to live about with her acquaintances, who were
sorry for her loneliness and'unhappiness, though
they could not love her as they would if she had
not been thinking of her own feelings and her
own comfort all the time.
“But Miss Betsey,” said Daisy, very politely,
“this is Glover’s place; hadn’t you just as lief sit
by the other window?”
“No, I hadn’t,” returned the old lady; “I’ve
just got settled here with my work, and I won’t
be at the beek a# call of every little girl, either.”
“She never learned to bring her mind to things
she doesn’t like,” thought Daisy; “ but we don’t
want to he like her, do we, birdy ? ’’ she whispered,
as she good-naturedly carried the cage to tbe
kitchen.
Daisy was rather apt to go away by berself and ;
cry, when any one spoke unkindly, but now she
would not think about Miss Betsey's words at all,
and diverted berself by wondering whether Mary
Ellis w’ouldwear her new “cloud” to School that
day, and trying to decide whether she #Biild have
hers knit of cherry or blue yarn. It was a very
simple thing, but she found she forgot her little
trial much easier by not allowing it in her mind
Bt Breakfast was span ready, and baby Harold be
gan teasing fiat his high chair to he put in its ac
customed plaof by bis father. He could see no
connexion between the statement that it had been
sent to be repaired, and the fact that a common
dining-chair, with a footstool in it, was placed for
him. “Me don’t want to sit in that chair! Me
want Harry’s own best chair, me do!” and he be-
Sn to cry uproariously, greatly to the disgust of
iss Betsey. - , . .
“There, now!- Harold isn’t big enough to un

aloud, “O. Harry, just see the black pussy walk
ing on the wall 1 ” The little hoy was attracted
by her eager voice, and stopped crying, running
to the Window to watch the cat, as she stepped
from one stone to another, ana noally jumped irt
to a bed of withered leaves, which almost hid her

After school was done, her cousin Gertrude
came to stay an hoar with her, and she brought
out her favorite doll for her visitor to play with.
Gertrude was a kind-hearted, rough child, and
managed somehow to pull the string that opened
and shut the eyes of Miss Laura Virginia so vio
lently that it broke, and tbe ili-fated eyes opened
never to close again. She was very sorry for the
mischief, and Daisy could hardly keep from cry
ing, but she resolutely put the unfortunate doll
away, saying: “Only think how much better than
if it had been your eyes or mine 1 Gome, Ger
trude, let’s paint pictures a little while.”
Daisy has discovered the secret of being cheer
ful as well as patient, and she will find, as she
grows older, that it will be “ better than diamonds”
to her.
ROYER AND HIS LITTLE MASTER.
“Come, Boverl” said Harry, as he passed a
fine old Newfoundland dog that lay on a mat at
the door; “oome, Rover! I am going down to
the river to sail my boat, and I want you to go
with me."
Rover opened his large eyes, and looked lazily
at his little fhaster.
“Come! Rover! Rover!”
But the dog didn’t care to move, and so Harry
went ofF to the river-side alone. He had not been
gone a great while before a thought of her boy
came suddenly into the mother’s mind. Remem
bering that he had a little vessel, and that the
river was near, it occurred to her that he might
have gone there.
Instantly her heart began to throb with alarm.
“Is Harry with you ?" she called up to Harry’s
father, who was in his study. But Hairy’a father
said he was not there. _ • > .
“I’m afraid. lie’s jgoiie to the nyer witnliis
boat,” said the mother.
“To the river.” And Mr. Lee dropped his pen,
and came quickly down. Taking up his hat, he
went hurriedly from the house. Rover was still
lying upon the mat," with his head upOn his paws
and his eyes shut. .
“Rover!” said his master, in a quick, excited
voice, “where is Harry? Has be gone'to the
river? Away and see! quick!”
The- dog must have understood every word, for
he sprang eagerly to his feet, and rushed toward
the river. Mr, Lee followed as fast as he could
run. When he reached the river bank, he saw
his little boy in the water, with Rover dragging
him toward the shore. He was just in time to re
ceive the half drowned child in his arms, and carry
him home to his mother. ■
Harry, who remained insensible, was placed in
a warm bed. He soon, however, revived, and in
an hour or two was running about again. Blit
after this, Rover would never leave the side of his
little master when he wandered beyond the garden
gate. Wherever you found Harry, there Rover
was sure to he —sometimes walking by his side,
and sometimes lying on the grass, with his big eyes
watching every movement.
‘ Once Harry found his little vessel, which had
been hidden away since he went with it ,to the
river, and without his mother’s seeing him, he
started again for the water. Rover, as usual, was
with him. Oh his way. to the river, lie saw some
flowers, and in order to gather them, put his boat
down upon the grass. Instantlyßover picked it
up in his mouth, and walked hack toward the house
with it After going a little way, he stopped,
looked around, and'waited until Harry had got
his hand full of flowers. The child then saw that
Rover had his boat, and tried to get it from him;
but Rover played around him, always keeping.out
of his reach, and retreating toward the house; until
he : got.haek Within the gate. Then he bounded
into the house, and laid the boat at the feet of
Harry’s mother.
Harry was a little angry with the good old dog,
at first, but when his mother explained to Mm
what Rover meant, he hugged him around the neck
and said he would never go down to the river
again any more. ; ; H ; ' -
Harry is a man now, and Rover has long since
been dead; but he often thinks of the dear old dog
that saved him from drowning when be was a child;:
audit gives him, great pleasure to remember that
he never heat Rover, as some boys beat ibeir dogs
when they are angry, and- was never unkind to him.,
Had it been otherwise, the thought would have
given him great pain.
INGRATITUDE TO PARENTS.
There is a proverb that “a father can more
easily maintain six children, than six children one
father.” Luther relates this story :
There was once a father who gave up everything
to his children—Ms house, his fields and goods—
and expected that for this his children wbuld sup
port him. But after he had been some time with
his son, tbe latter grew tired of him, and said to
him, “ Father, I have had a son born to me this
night; and there, where your armchair-stands, the
cradle must come ; will you not perhaps go to my
brother, who has a large room?” ‘
After he had been some tithe with the second
son, he also grew tired of him, and said, “ Father,
you like a warm room, and that hurts my bead.
Won’t you go to my brother, the baker?” The
father went, and after he had been some time with
the third son, he also found him troublesome, and
said to him, “ Father, the people run in and out
here all day, as if it were a pigeon-house, and yon
cannot have your noonday sleep; would you not.
he better off fcfc my sister Kate’s, near the town
wall?”
The old man remarked 1 how the wind'blew, and :
said to himself, “ Yes,lwillcloso;T will go and
.try it with my daughter. Women have softer.
beaftS.’’ But after he had spent Some time with
his daughter, she grew weary of him, and said she
was always so fearfni, when her father 'went to
church or anywhere 1 else,, and was obliged to’de
scend the steep stairs, and at her sister Elizabeth’s
there were no stairs to descend, as she lived on
the ground floor. '
For the'sake 1 of peace the old man assented,
and went to his. other daughter. But after- some
time, she tPo was tired of him, and told him' by a
third person, that her house near the water, was
too damp for a man who suffered with gout, and
her sister, thj . grave-digger’s wife, at St. John’s,
had much drier lodgings. The old man himself
thought she was right, and went outside the gate
to his youngest daughter, Helen. 'But after he
had been three days'with her, her . little son said
to his grandfather, “Mother said yesterday .to
cousin Elizabeth that there was no better chamber
for you, than such a one as father digs.” These
words broke-the old 1 man’s heart, so that he sank
back in his chair and died.
INTELLECT.
People of small intellect are very dangerous
enemies, because they, are likely to have few ex
traneous thoughts to divert them from their im
mediate object of malice; because they arashrewd
noticers of personalities, and personal weaknesses;
because there is nothing which a fool and a mean
man eDjoy so much as to catch a wise and honest
one at a disadvantage.
idleness;
Idleness is the bane of body and mind, the
nurse of naughtiness, the stepmother of discipline;
the chief author of all mischief, one of the seven
deadly sins, the cushion on which the devil chiefly
reposes, and a great cause not only of melancholy,
but of many other diseases; for the mind is natu
rally active, and if it be not occupied about some
honest business, it rushes into mischief, or sinks
into melancholy;
THE END.
Generation after generation, from the unknown
beginning, so stormful, busy, I have seen rush
thundering down, dowD, and fall all silent, —no-
thing but some feeble re-echo, which grew even
feebler, straggling up; and oblivion has swallowed
them all. Thousands more to the unknown end
ing will follow; and thou liangest here as a drop,
still sun-gilt on the giddy edge; one moment.wbile
the darkness has not yet ingulfed .thee.-. O bro
-1 therl is that ofsmall interest? of. small interest,
and for thee? Awake, popr troubled sleeper;
shake off thy torpid, night-mgre dream; look, see,
behold it; the flame image; splendors high,
rors deep as hell; this is a man’s life. -Carlyle.
We somewhere read of an incident that trans
pired some years ’lgo In Boston, which beautirally
illustrates the importance of decision on the part
of young men who would establish a character, and
become useful members of society. We will pre
sent tiie substance of the incident. The narrator
subsequently became a clergyman, as did other
leading members of the party. At the time this
incident occurred, he was a clerk in Boston, and
roomed, with two youug men, also, clerks. The
first Sunday morning, during the intervening
hours, from getting up, to the hour for church
service, he felt a desire to get his Bible, which his
mother had given him on leaving home, from his
trunk, and read it, as lie had been accustomed to
do'on .Sabbath mornings; hut he feared the ri
dicule of his room mates. Such, however; was the
agony of his feelings, that he went to his trunk
for the purpose, but his dread of ridicule over
powered him. After a few minutes he again
opened Ms trunk, took Ms Bible in Ms hand,—
and again his fears overpowered him. Closing
his trunk, ho walked the floor in distress of mind.
His companions, who were reading some miscella
neous hooks, noticed his agitated manner, and
asked him the cause. At first, lie evaded a direct
answer, but after a few moments’ reflection frankly
told them all about it. They each confessed a
piimlnr State- of feelingr-esolr haviugf a'Bible in
their trunks which they dared : not get and read
for feiir of each other. They then mutually agreed
to read the Bible bn Sunday mornings) While
thus engaged the first morning, two other clerks
of the same boarding house came in. They stated
their agreement to their visitors, one of whom
said lie had a Bible in his trunk, but had not read
it since he came to the city. The other said he
would remain with them, and listen to the word
of Hod. Tim first three of them agreed that
they would have a chapter read by one of their
number at nine o’clock every night. Soon after,
four or five young men were in their room, when
the nine o’clock. bell reminded them of their en
gagement. The visitors were frankly informed
of their custom, hnd. they at once desired to re
main and hear the rcading of God’s word. The
result was, sixteen young men in the house spent
the Sabbath morning, as well as a season at night,
in reading the Bible; while the moral effect upon
the whole household was of the happiest character.
This incident, though simple in itself, shows
liow much good may he done by dpcision of
character, and fixedness of purpose to perform'all
known duty, at. all times, and under all' circum
stances. • It shows wimt au influence one person,
even a youth, may exert for evil or good. No
person should ever he afraid to do, right; he knows
not the secret feelings of those arouhf Mm, what
ever be the air of levity they may assume. ' The
hearts of ajnultitude may throb with a desire to
do light, who only want a leader, —some one to
step forth, and unhesitatingly brave whatever
opposition they may meet from the rec Mess and
profane., The young men referred to above, were
called the “Bible Clerksf— a rich and splendid
eulogy. They all became useful citizens and active
Christians, —some of them were called to the
dignified work of the Christian ministry. *
There is nothing lost, on the part of young men,
by strictly observing an upright, conscientious,
fearless course of independent decision, but much
to be gained. In every aspect in which such a
line of conduct may be viewed, it assumes a beauty
and a dignity that commends itself to the admi
ration of every honest, intelligent mind. It is the
only course by wliicb young men can fully establish
a character, and secure the esteem and confidence
of an intelligent, virtuous public. Honesty, ster
ling integrity, combined with industry, is import
ant to permanent success in this life, and the young
man Wh o reads his Bible attentively, is more likely
to become a useful, respeetpS citii’en,—to sriy no
thing of its direct influence upon Ms future
destiny,—than he who neglects* its' divine in
struction. *.' ■■■

A CHINESE FEAST IN CALIFOBNIA. ,
; Monday night last, Ah Ching, a wealthy Chi
nese merchant of this city,, and for seven years Di
rector of the Canton Company’s affairs, and now
Chief of the Board of Administrators, gave a din
ner to Judge M'Allistar, Judge Freeloon, Mr.
Henry Hentecb, Mr. B. Davidson, Mr. Selim
Woodworth, Mr. Frederick Woodworth, and Mr.
Thomas W. Cary. Mr. Carvalho, the Chinese
Interpreter, did the honors of the table, Ah Ching
occupying a seat next to Judge M'Allister. , For -
the information of those of our readers who have
never been present at a regular Chinese dinner,
we give the following description: —The table was
laid with figured porcelain, and ornamented along
the centre with large porcelain vases, containing,
bananas, oranges and japples, all very fine and of
superior flavor. . . ">•
. Beside each plate stood a saucer containing the.
tiniest of cups, and a large porcelain spoon upon
each, the latter for soup! The first thing served
up was the tiny cup full of a species of Chinese'
liquor, by way of an appetizer. It had a flavor
somewhat resembling orange peel, and was pro
bably an extract from ’that substance. This was
followed by a glass of fine brown Cantegnae claret,
which was also absorbed before any eatables were
placed upon the board. Then came the soup,
composed of chicken’s flesh, cut into strips like
narrow rib bones,, and preserved by drying in the
open air, and isinglass. It was quite palatable.
This course was followed by pigeons,stewed with
delicate green beans, spring onions, and other con
diments. Following .this came a dißh of pigeons,
cooked in another style. This was succeeded by
Chinese ortolans, or otUer small birds.; The courses
followed each ether in Tegular succession, until
.ten had been gone through with, washed down at
short intervals with Cliquot champagne and 'fine
claret. • . ■ ’ ’ ' "
The eleventh course consisted of the famed bird
nests, worth their weight in gold in China. These
nests are built by a species, of swallow found in
the India seas, particularly the Island of Sumatra.
The nest is thoAapc of-a oommonpwallow’s nest,
and is about the size of a goose’segg/ahdMs the
appearance of fibrous, imperfectly concocted isin
glass. The substafice Of which'it is composed if
not known; but it is supposed to be the spawn of
fishes, gathered by the bird, or a secretion elabo
rated from the body of the swallow. The finest
are those gathered before the young swallows are
hatched, at which time they are pure and white.
These nests are found in caverns and almost iriae
cessiblc places, rendering it impossible for any one
to collect them who has not been regularly Brought
up to the business. After the bird’s nest a dish
of shark’s fins, a great delicacy with the Chinese;,
was placed upon the table. It hada rank, musty,
flavor by no means palatable to outside barbarians.
Another course of some Chinese preparations, and
the last one, consisting of stewed duck, wound up
the meats, making fourteen courses in all. :• ;
Then came the dessert, consisting of 'Chinese
cakes, jellies and pat4s of different kinds, all of
which were served up at one time. The bread
consisted of two kinds, one in small-sized loaves,
about as large and looking just like a moderate
sized, freshly-peeled mushroom. They were ex
quisitely whitcand light. The other sort of bread
was in loaves of the same shape, bnt about four
times larger. Ob being broken open a thin'plas
-1 tic covering made of flour, peeled Off aud : b6Vcaled
| the light and snowy bread, bakSd in layers which
detached from each other like separate pancakes,
Both of these sorts of bread were slightly sweet
■ ened. ; .. '
Ait half-past nine o'clock, Ah Ching invited his
guests to visit the Chinese theatre. It would be
impossible to convey anything like an accurate
idea of the performances, :biit several of theactors
exhibited wonderful agility in their combat.sfcenes.
. At , ten o’clock , the company separated,, hjghly
pleased with their host and his entertainment.

Dr. Hates’ Arctic Expedition.— -There is

on his Arctic expedition on the 15th of June, it the
citizens of New York fulfil the promise of assist
ance they have made to him. His visit to Boston
was so successful that he felt warranted m pur
chasing a vessel of 133 tons, and is commencing to
make every preparation for her , equipment
outfit, confidently relying upoEi the completion of
his needed fund in this city. Thiff little vessel is
no smaller than several which have made success
ful cruises in the Arctic seas, and, on some ac
counts,*is better adapted for her difficult task than
a larger craft. She will be specially strengthened
by numerous braces in her hold, and her bows
will be fitted with iron plates. Dr. Hayes has
selected as his sailing captain, Capt. McCormick,
who has been engaged in the British merchant
servioS about seventeen years, and' has had some
experience s “ high latitudes” on one or more
voyages to the Amoor River. — N. T. Journal of
