INSCRIBED TO DR. t. J. DATES.
Away to the realms of the frozen North,
With the speed of 'the winds'we.fly,
We have bid farewell to the land of our birth,
We have said to our friends —Good by/
Throir the flag to the wind—
Leave the green earth behind,
We long for the glacier and floe,
We'll hunt the bear..
And his shaggy coat wear,
Like the native Baquimaux.
How dull and tame seems the peaceful life
That these temperate regions ' know,
To those who have battled in sterni and strife,
Midst eternal frost and snow:
Oh! the glorious sight '
Of an Arctic night,
Has a solemn grandeur for me,
And the long'bright . ray,
Of the Northern day,
Is a wondrous thing to see! •
We would fain search for the open sea,
That flows round the Northern pole;
From the fearlese'spirit cloth danger flee,
While it haunteth the fainting soul.
'4'o the ravens that cry,
The Great Helper is nigh:
4 We'll trust to his love and hie cars,
Thro' darkness and storm •
He'll guard us from ham,
This wonderful luitirei of prayer!
.
Then speed we away on the wings of the wind,
'While the warm summer breezes Moir,
Thout h fancy may linger on scenes left behind,ati onward, right onward we go!
roil , heart bold and true,
Qf our brave little crew,
As brothers we stand side by side,
And our bark stanch and strong,
Will bear us along, '
As safe'atf tiai sea-gull can ride.

A LITTLE GRAVE.
"It's only a little g:rave," they said;
"Only Just, a child . that's dead."
And so they eareleisly turned away
From the mound the spade had made that day,
And they did not know how deep a shade
That little grave in our homelad made.
I know the coffin was narrow and small;
One yard would have served for an athple pall;
Aud one man in his arms mid have bOrne away
The rosewood and its freight of clay. •
But I know that darling hopes were bid
Beneath that little coffin lid.
I know that mother . stoolthat day
With folded liands, by that fOrm of clay;
I know that Wining learn were hid'''
"'Math the droOping lash and aching lid ;"
And I know her lip and cheek and brovi
Were almost as white as her baby's now;
I know, that some tilings were bid away—
The crimson frock, and wrappings gray;
The little sock and half-worn shoe,
The clap, with its plumes and tassels blue;
And an empty crib, with its covers spread,
As white as the face of the sinless dead.

IQIIO TOO.K. THE BABY?
"Moller," one day said little Sue,
" When our dear little baby died,
And had to leave your loving arms,
Whotooli her on the other side
"I've beard you say there is a stream,
And all who die must peas it o'er;
Now, when our babe that river crossed,
Who took her on the other shore?"
" Q u9y i when God's children the,

Receives them in his 9wn hind arms,
And bears them safe across the wave.
"He is their rod, and He their staff,
He bears them o'er the awelling tide,
And takes them to Ma F'ather's home,
That bright home on 'the other aide."

KITTY AND THE ?INDS.
Oh, the dear little birdies! such times among the
birdies. Little birdies are abut trying their new
fledged wings. young robins are gathering their
own cherry dinner. Yellow birds and brown
birds are flitting about the garden. Swallows,
fresh from the nest, are sailing about, with a whole
army of the old. swallows around. them. Rut of
all the little birds, young robin, with the spotted
red 'breast, is the plump, good-natured, honest
little soul who takes all the Wfirld—Kitty included
—to be as good and honest as himself.
Rear mother robin ! how she has labored for
her young ones this summer. I could see that
she was getting to be a poor little body over all
her brooding, watching, and providing. Then
the naughty squirrel under the tree has troubled
Tier. Robin is a gentle creature, but wiled her
little ones are in danger she can fight bravely.
Squirrel starts up the tree. Robin strikes down
upon hire with her bill—makes a great show of
wings and strength with good effeot. Squirrel
looks sheepish—shrinks into a round.. lump; at
last trots soberly ddwn and escapes to his castle
in the stone wall. Sometimes a brave swallow
comes to, her aid and puts squirrel 'to rout in
.
stoutly.
Robin has had her brood all out. She taught
them to fly from maple to cherry tree, and. back
again to the maple. Then she let th'e dear things
go forth into the wide world with many and many
a caution. But young robin is too much delighted
with, everything_ to keep watch. She flies here
and there, right, in kitty's way. Therel he has
ru, poor thing! Ah 1 naughty kitty, how can
you? • All the birds have in eye en kitty. They
know she is ever lurking about to see which of
them, she may devolir• We , find littiU feathers
behind , the door, feathers in, the shed, feathers all
about.
Yesterday kitty brought in "a plump little robin
wbialt a moment before was chirping in the cherry
tree. It hopped down on the . ground; 'with one
limit:id, kitty had her. We Scolded kitty ; took
birdie, away. Poor, gentle thing ! Its little head
falls back so sadly, it seems to say, "pity .the
poor little birdie.' It makes, the tears, come.
Here, kitty, take it; but don't yoU, don' t you, do
it again. Kitty takes no, heed, but this morn
brought in again a fat young robin that woke Se
early, expecting such a happy time all the day.
Shall we drown our kitty?
We have saved, one heedless thing that,_
was
xestinkits tired wings on. the Alec. Kitty'S,eyes
were on it. Kitty gave a, spring . ; so did we, and
sboritOd under the;tree just as kitty had her paw
Birdie Was' safely off, and kitty slunk
away Bober. •
Oh, What a fuss, in the, garden,' The yellow
birds froM.the little pear tree nest_are trying their
wings to-day . Their parents are very anxious,

Grace Greenwood writes the following little
story—and a true one it is—for the Little Pifring,
a child's paper. She gets the facts from an inci
dent described' in the Hartford Daily Times , some
years ago, as having happened in Colt's Meadows:
In the city of Hartford, Connecticut, lives the
hero of the true history I am about to relate—but
no longer "little," as the perilous- adventure,
which made him for a time famous in his native
iown, happened several years ago.
Our hero was then a bright active boy of four
teen—the son of a mechanic. In the severe win
ter of 18—, the father worked in a factory, about
a mile and a halt from his home, and every day
the boy carried him his dinner, across a 'tilde
piece of meadow land.
One keen frosty day, he found the snow on-this
meadow nearly two feet deep, and no traces of the:
little foot path remaining. Yet he ran on, as fast
as possible, plunging through drifts—kee,pibg
himself warm by vigorous exercise and brave,
cheerful thoughts.
When in the midst of the meadow, fully half a
mile from any house, he suddenly felt himself
going down, doivn; down I Ile had fallen 'into a
well
He sunk down into the dark, icy water, but
rose immediately to the surface. There he grasped
hold of a plank, which had fallen into the well
es he went down. One end of this rested on. the.
bottom of the well, the other rose about four feet
aboye the surface of the water.
The poor lad shouted . ' for help until be was
hoarse, and almost speechless, but all in vain, as
it was impossible for him to make himself beard
from such a' depth, and at such a distance frorct
any house. So at het he concluded-that if he
was to be saved at all, he must save himself, and
begin at once, as he was getting extremely cold in
the water. So he went to work.
First, he drew himself up :to the plank, and
braced himself against the top of it and the wall,
of the well, which was of, brick, and. quite smooth.
Then, he pulled off his coat, and taking out his
pocket-knife, 'cut off his hoots, that he might work
to greater avantage. Then, with his feet against
one side of the well, and his shoulders against the
other, he worked his way up, by the most fearful
e;ertion, about half the distance to the top.
Here he was obliged to pause, take breath and
gather up his energies for the work yet before him.
Far harder was it than all he had yet gone through,
for the side of the well being from that'point Com
pletely covered with ice, he• must cut with his
knife, grasping places for his fingers, slowly and
carefully, all the way up.
It was almost a hopeless attempt, but it was all
that he could do. And here the little hero lifted
up his heart to God, and prayed fervently for
help, fearing he could never get out alone.
Doubtless the Lord heard his voice, calling from
the deeps, and pitied him. He wrought no mira
cle to save him, but breathed into his heart a yet
larger measure of calmness and courage, strength
nuing him to work out his own deliverance. It
is in this' way that God ofteneat answers our pray
ers, when we call upon' him in tinie of trouble.
After this; the little hero cut his way upward,
inch by inch. His wet stockings froze to the ice
and kept his feet from slipping, but his shirt was
quite worn from his shoulders ere he reached the
top.
He did reach it at last—crawled out into the
snow, and, lay down for a moment to rest, panting
out his breath in little white clouds on the clear
frosty air.
Re had been two hours and a half in the well f
His clothes soon froze to his body; but he uo
longer suffered with the cold, as full of joy and
thankfulness, he ran to the factory, where his
good father was waiting and wondering;'
The poor man was obliged to go without his din
ner that day, but you may be sure he cared little
about that, while listening, with tears in his eyes,
to the thrilling story his son had to relate to
him.
. B. S
H e must have been very proud of the boy that
day, as he wrapped him up in his own warm over- :
eoat, and took him home to 4 mother.'
And hovi that mother must hive wept and
smiled over the lad, and kissed him and thanked
God for him!

We extract the following from advance sheets
of a forthcoming work," entitled, A man, or the
Higher Pleasures of the Intellect, by Rev. J. D.
Bell. It will be, issued by James Challen and
Son, of this city.
True wit, appropriately employed, is wonder
,
fully effective as a means of keeping a human
mind vigorous, clear, and cheerful. To laugh is
good for us; and laughter is the triumph of wit.
The human" face 'has one doss of = wrinkles on
which it 11 a pleasure to look; and they are pro
duced by the cordial expression •of mirth. If you
would know whether a person's disposition is
gentle or morose, look at the corners of his month.
See whether happy curves and furrow.s are or. are
net there. Hones laughter will give a charm to
the homeliest physiognomy.
Among all the things, in which both the useful
and the agreeable are combined, what is more in
tereating than a laugh that is, a laugh?' Do you
like those persons who seem to eat their own, lips.?
Do you like those persons Whose " ha! ha is
only an expression of bitter scorn? Somebody
has, said, that "a.laugh, like a thing of beauty, is
a joy forever.", It. is. certainly a jey in the mo
ment of its expression.
True laughter is noble. It is something of
which no . creatures under' the sun, except' men,
women, and children, are capable: Brute animals
cannot laugh. You could not draw tilaugh out
of . a . clogOr a horse if you should tickle him all
day long. Some people adopt allopathy, some
hydropatby, and some horuccopathy: but, begging
pardon of , none of. the physicians; I have adopted
cackinnopathy. Laughter after all, is the great
panacea. Only laugh sudciently, and you cannot
easily, become kick. Better is laughter than calo-
Mel; or arsenicum, 'or opium, or the' waters of
Saratoga, or intoxicating drinks. Laughter, as a
medicine, gives a person no pain, except in his
sides, and, that is a wholesome pain. Furthcr
more, he Who proceeds on my system can Make
his own medicine and can prescribe for himself;
It is a maxim, that a person should not laugh at
his own jest. But Charles Lamb pioves that this
is a popular fallacy, and gives it, as his opinion,
that he who does not enjoy his‘ow.n joke is,'"like
a gentleman who commends the flavor of his, veni
son on the,absard strength of hikriever touching
it himself."
Welcome, then, true, fresh, cordial laughter!
Welcome you whose mouths are enclosed in plea
sant- parentheses / Welcome you . who• can laugh
yourselves, and can :make other people laugh!
Our, chosen friends!, may they, all belong to this
class 1 Our partner in business, if we are to have
one, may he be what Sir Walter Scott calls "an
honest laugher I" If he should prove not to be
such, we would surely, propose e,disselution, of the
,partnership before it, should become a year old.
The preacher to whom we pay Our. Sunday respects,
may he know the effectiveness of Well-timed wit
and die sweet health which latighter - gives ! The
Fourth of July orator before whom we are to sit
next. year, may he not weary our ears with a long
and tedious harangue, which shall be to us a
proof that he has tiever learned the value of
mirthfulness 1
And, dear reader, are you not ready to wish
for.yourself, the same blessings which have just
been mentioned? Yes, Lam, surethat, you arc,
for you know the pleasures of wit and laughter.
You know. what they, are in health—how _they
heighten - it. You know, what. they, are in sickness
—,—how they relieve it. You know What they, are
in weariness—how they drive it tiway, and diffuse
a sweet exhilanition in its place. You know
what they are when drowsiness has begun to steal
over, the spirit—,-bovr. they 'dispel ,it and quicken
the pOWers which it has stupefied. You know
the pleasures of wit and laughter. May you
never depreciate them I May you ever enjoy
them 1, .

PRIVATE LIFE OF JORNAIIINGY ADAMS.
• . , , • • .
Napoleon Bonaparte, born but. two years after
the man of whom I am to write, never uttered a
grander or more sublime truth than when he said,
" Great men have had great mothers. What France
most needs is mothers."
- - - - -
No man, in any measure acquainted with John
Quincy Adams, can deny that he was great. To
whom, under God, did he owe that greatness
Not so much to John Adams, his faller, the semod
President of the United Btites, as to Abigail
.Sniith,
the second daughter of a country clergyman, his
mother.
If a man have a "grandmother Lois, and a
mother Eunice,'•' in whom dwelt the unfeigned
faith of the gospel, it may make but little differ
epee, as was the case with young Timothy, ; ' though
his father was a Greek.'
The Rev. Mr. Smith, of Weymouth, Massachu
setts, was au eccentric but a good Man; and neithe
he nor his parishioners aPproVed of the marriage
of his daughter with John Adams, the son 'of a
fernier, and above all, himself a lawyer—which
profession the early settlers of New England con
sidered quite unnecessary; while they approved of
the marriage of the , eldest daughter, Mary, with
Mr. enrich, a neighbor of , Mr. Adams.
When Mary was married, the father preached
a wedding sermon from the text, " Mary hatli
chosen that good part which shall not be taken
away from her." When Abigail was, to be mar
ried; her father told her' she might select a. teit,
and he would preach her a wedding sermon. She
selected, " Jelin'etinie neither eating nor drinking;
and they said, lie bath a devil." This teas merely
a, specimen of her youthful independence.
It is true, female edneation at that day was not
what it is at the present time, and yet, in some
respects, it was more substantialc With the
writings' of Milton, Dryden, Shakspeare, Addison,
Tillotson, Butler, Locke, Young, and the whole
class of writers of that, golden age of English
literature, Miss Smith, afterwards the mother of
jebn Quincy Adama, was well acquainted. x The
letters Of this remarkable woman to'ber son, Jahn
Quincy Adams, beVe been published by' her grand
ion, Charles Francis Adams, and are well worthy
the perusal of all mothers and all sons. They,
undoubtedly, had a powerful influence in making
John Quincy Adams the man, he was. They
abound with sentiments like the followin it
ten to him when in Paris My anxieties have
.
been and still are great, lest the numerous temp
tationa and snares to vice should vitiate yonrearly
habits of virtue, and destroy those principles which
you are now capable of reasoning upon, and is-.
cerning the beauty and utility of, as the only ra
tional source of happiness here or foundation of
felicity hereafter. Placed as we are in a transitory,
scene of probation, drawing nigher and'still nigh
er, day by day, to that, important crisis, which, must
introduce us into a new system of things, it ought
certainly to be oar principal concern to become
qualified for our expected dignity."
Thus made acquainted with the mother,
daughter of a prophet, educated in the family of
a prophet, rooted and grounded in Christian prin.;
ciple, you are now prepared to be introduced to her:
son, John Quincy Adams. Ile was born in the.
town of Braintree, in the part now calle,d Quiney,
July 11th, 1767. The house in which he was
horn is still standing. It is about nine miles from
Boston, on a plat of level land at the foot of
"Penn's Hill," so called, about a mile from the
old mansion afterwards built by John Adams;
then occupied by John Quincy Adams, and now
owned by his son, Charles F. Adams.
The house of his birth is two stories, in front
and one story back, and sits half side-wiae to the
street, as the old Pilgrims often._, legated. their
dwellinga. One may have, some idea of: this Pu
ritanic, taste, if they have ever visited the "
Pilgrim city of Boston, which is ,conapicumis in
sharp angles, narrow, crooked" streets, zigzag lanes„
and crossings and turnings.
I have been in every room of that old liousein
which John Quincy Adams first, breathed the vital,
air. , Here, one of the best of mothers, watched
over the Childhood of- one of the greatest, of men.
Here, he attended the village . sehool, and lear . jed.
the first rudiments of education. Ifere, accord:,
ing to his own description, the dame who first
taught hint . to 'spell, flattered him with the idea
that he would one day become a. schelar.
Standing on this hill, at the age of ten years,
he heard the cannon looming from the battle of
Bunker's Hill, sawthe smoke and flames of burn
ing Charlestown, and watched the shells and rock
ets during the siege of Boston.
At the age of eleven years, be went to Europe
with his father and studied in the schools of Paris,
of Amsterdam, at the University of Leyden, at
St. Petersburg, and at Stockhelm. At the age
of nineteen he entered.:. the junior class of Harvard
University. He beearne, an active member of all
the literary eecieties in college; and though he
entered kite, took the Second part at' graduation:
His habits of punctuality and industry then were
whit they were sixty years afterivards, when a
member of the House of Representatives remarked,
it was time to call the House to order, and another
replied: "N,9, Mr. Adams is Da in his seat."
The clock was actually three minutes too fast, and,
before these, three_ minutes elapaed Mr. A. was in
his seatl
Ia summing up, Mr. A.'s private . character, it
may be remarked
He was economical of time. He said, "I feel
nothing like ennui: Time is too Short for me
rather than too long. If the day were forty-eighk,
hours long instead of twenty-four, I Could employ
them, all, if I,hadhut eyes and hands to read and
'g
complained,
write." nak t. eters urg, e ,
bitterly of thegreat 'psi of his tithe, from the ci
vilities and . visits of his friende and associates.
1. haVe 'been engaged," he *rote, "the whole
forenoon, and' though I rise at. six o'clock I am
sometimes 'able to write only part of a private
letter in the course of the day.", Franklin be
earn° what he, w t as by industry; Mr. Adams brave
what, he was.. by , economizing . time.
There is not a, young man who cannot imitate
him'
in this res ect
To redeem time, he rose egri.g. I have met him,
when riding out on horseback myself,' more than
two'iniles trent" his home, on his return from his
morning 'walk, and this was before sunrise. Per
haps it should be added, he retired early, when
practicable,
Mr: Adams was remarkable for punctuality.
Ile was never known to be.late. One, instance
has ; already been given the, balls. of ; Congress ?
He always attended to a, previous appointment,,.
whatever, were the . intervening, - cireemsianees.,
It,ebad.appointedan eVenieg to see a young man,
of his native, ttiwri, - and myself, relative to the
young man s 'application to be admitted to the
"West Point Military Anadeiny."
The old servant said, "I think Mr. A. cannot
see you to-night." "Will you tell httn we are
here?P. said I. ' Mr. Adams immediately,left.his
company—same members of : Congress ' from, - a
distance—and spent half an, haur .withthe young
man. What young man cannot imitate MT. A. in.
punctuality?
Mr. Adams encoufaged educatiDn. He visited
the public, schools. He visited my own school,,
and examitted.a class in. the Greek Reader, when:
he:was. seventy-six years. old, and wore- no glasses;,
while on, either band.,ofhitn sat a.clergynian, more ;
than twenty.yearsjunlor t _with glosses. In,
the interview with Mr . W 004,.. the ; yeapglng.p,al. 7. .
hided to, Mr. A. inspired,him with an interest in,
and a love of study; which -he never lost-;'
when I saw 'him, one of- , the teachers of West
Point, two years. sinde, he referred to that, eve
ning's conversation with Mr. A, as. the.mainspring
of . bis eminence or success, in life.
Who will fellow his exatnple.in. these matters:?
Mr. Adams', reverence for the Bible was striking.
He was a great reader of this sacred boOk. While
studying the various languages of the world, and
the most abstruse sciences =while preparing and
delivering lectures on. hellis.,lettres, in Harvard
University—whep retired .in; the family, circle,
where restraint, is. throwu.off, and the man appears
in, hie true. character- - while ; in the whirl,, of po
litical excitementand bjoh posts of trpst—
in
,each ar.l all of these ,conditiens, bewas a, con
stant reader of the Bible. Four or;five, chapters
every day he read. , In a letter tehia, sou; as early
as 1811, he Says:-.7-"1 1 have many years' 'Made it
a practice to road throigh the Bible once a year.
My custom is to read•lcur qr five chapters every
morning after rising from 'l4 bed. It employs
an hour of rny time,' and seems- tome the most
suitable manner of beginning the day. In what
light soever we regard. the:Bible, • whether with
reference to revelation, to biatory, or to morality,
it is an iuvalnable and inexhaustible mine of
knowiedgP and Yirizp/f ,
What a lesson to , those whom "a little learning"
has made
,mad,
,and*hqm a slight political ele
vation has'so far their heads, that, they de
spise the Bible! I ;such we would say, ga learn
a lesson from the xemple of one who excelled
you in learning an limn-a, "as far as light ex
celleth darkness V' Indeed, so familiar_ was he
with the sacred sell tutee, and so welt did he un-
clerstand their poWe and application to the affairs
of life, that he' ofte clinched his own opinions in
his private converse ion and in his public address
es with some approp iate passage from the Bible.
Mr. Adams! Alia ofection was strong, especially
towards his nfother ' In this he was a pattern
worthy of all imitat OIL Upon her death Mr. A.
said :--" This is ,o ~cf ,the_severest afflictions to
which human natur is liable. The silver cord is
broken—the tenant

that those had thelcat legs who used them. the
most." Would it, tbe better for them, if some
younger people, of lioth sexes, would walk more
and ride less? i ,
Mr. Adams had b oth, poetic talent, He wrote
several .hymns, which are sung in public worship.
He hada wonderful in writing poetry upon
the spur of the'oc ion.: Near the eloscof his
eventful life, *hen 'b e had been to Cincinnati to
give his memorableddress at the laying of the
corner-stone of the':Ast ronomical Observatory, on

THE METEOR.
On the night of Friday last one of the most bril
liant of the meteors known to mortal sight made
a majestic 'march across the country, and went out
to sea southeastward, as most people agree to re
port. 'Some observe/8 say th i kt, it went out, in a
different sense, while an enthusiastic reporter
somewhere in the mountain region of this State
observed it:going into a hill-side half a mile dis
tant, and when he reached the spot, the hole,
whiCh ;was a foot in diameter, s!as" still- warin.
Singular ideas respecting its altitude above the
earth, and the place of its rising, as ,well 'as the
spot where it fell, are apparent in the multitude
of paragraphs appearing in the journals. The
impressttm of its nearness to every observer is re
markable, many reporting :4 but a hundred• yards
high, and a large share•th4ing it somp n9w form
of rocket, or a fire balloon. .. There is quite enough
in these contradictory acetnieta to induce us to
take with much allowanee the reports of sights
seen by one or two persons only, whether those
told: of the past, or those yet to be told of the
future.
This meteor was seen at least as far west as Buf
falo,,from which direction it passed southeastward
at least two hundred miles beyond the Atlantic
coast. -6 1, At Washington it was but ten or fifteen
degrees above the horizon in the northwest, while
at Albany it was, seen by Prof. Mitchell at an al
titude of 27 degrees in the south, its position being
nearly vertical at New York, and on a line sooth
westward from Lake Erie to New Tork, To be
visible over an area so` large at these epees, it,
must have an altitude of nearly thirtymilCS; Prof.
• ..
Mitchellls calculation of twenty-seven' miles of al
ti tuda being based on an assumption that it was ver
tical sixty miles south of Albany, when in fact it
was vertical at from eighty to one hundred miles
south of. that city. It was seen along •a belt at
least six, degrees of latitude in width, from Nor
folk to qamtoga, and towns north of Alston, .or
four hUndred and fifty miles, in no part of whigh
it was, less than, fifteen degrees above the horizon,
thou& 'always apvearing to be near tho observer.
EDITORS AND PRINTERS' VACATION. I I
Who ever heard of such a thing? Teachers

but for -editors and printers there is no rest, day

Would not the boys, and old men too, with their

Our peculiar system ofimaking the different parts, of erich.watch

to a uniformity' ip, quality, which Cala, never. be, attained by the

each foreign watch is only a probability by itself, depending upon •
