tale! ilg givcitt. TO OUR NATION'S GUEST, LORD RENFREW. We hail thee, Prince, and with extended hand Give thee most cordial welcome to our land: And while from thine, thy youthful steps may roam Oh, make our nation's hearth and board thy home. Our high esteem for thee, an honored guest, In pomp and pageant cannot be expressed; But in our peaceful homes, from noise apart, Where thought sends out the incense of the heart, Full many an eye that thine may never meet, Glistens with pleasure at thy coming feet. Proud England's crown upon thy brow may rest Its orient gems, and on thy royal vest, Each royally, the roses red and white, Significant, their colors fair unite.. Thy feet may press the throne (God grant it be) Whose empire is as boundless as the sea; And with allegiance true, before that throne, Millions of hearts, their sovereign proudly own. Yet 'Us not, that around thy forehead fair Clusters these stars of hot° ; and, that the heir Thou art, of all ambition might desire, That could for thee, such thoughts as ours inspire. Not as the heir of her imperial throne, We kiss thy hand, but as Victoria's son, A noble sovereign, who can humbly own That on the Bible rests her power :thine; That laws, her kingdom's stay, their sapience get From thundering Sinai and bright Olivet. Upon her brow a holier light hath set, Than flashes from her jewelled coronet— Site wears a charm for every human heart, Which pomp and royalty could never impart— In sweet humility, it hath its birth, The power of goodness true, and Christian worth. So, gentle Prince, in greeting thee, we pay Our homage meet to good Victoria. Long may they live, to feed the genial fire, Thy gentle mother, and thy princely sire; Long may the navies float beneath their smiles, That bear fair Freedom to the distant isles: Until each flag that floats upon the air, From every land, "Dieu et mon draft" shall bitr; Until beneath each shade whore step may roam, Our holy faith shall find a peaceful home. And ohl young prince, born to a royal state, ' ll. Temptations thick beside thy path await, Power and ambition, holding high their charms, Would nurse a tyrant in their iron arms; While pleasure, murmuring her soft lullaby, Cradles the weak soul, in a deep Dead Sea. And naught may guide thee into safety sweet, Unless thou have a "lamp unto thy feet," Pursue its light with reverential frame, Like the young Tudor, him who bore thy name, To all its glorious hopes so dearly bought, Oh, count thy heirship to its crown as naught. . Receive to thy young heart its great bequest, And wear its priceless pearl upon thy breast. So, when that head, where rests the coronet 'With so much grace, shall weary of its weight, And seeking sweet repose, shall lay it down, To wear In heaven a more resplendent crown, Walking in that calm light with solemn feet, Thou'lt wait the hour with preparation meet, When bowing low in the old minster aisle, Thy mother's spirit bending with a smile, England shall hail her king with loud acclaim, Raising the shout with Edward Albert's name! 1 MRS. EMILY B. HOWARD. 'THE DANGEROUS DOOR. 11 Cousin Will, cousin Will, tell us a story I Do please. There's just time before the school-bell rings," and Harry, Kate, Bob, and little "Peace," a rosy battalion, surrounded his chair, and, at Bob's word of command —" Present arms," e braced his knees, clung around his neck, otherwise made such a vigorous attack, th cousin Will stied for mercy, and declared him ea quite ready to surrender. " Well, what shall it be, little Peace?" said he, taking thyrplump-hand- of- favorite Iduoy,mtho had obtained the name of "Peace," or "Peace maker," on account of her gentle disposition.— For never could she hear angry words, or see an unloving look pass between her little friends, or brothers and sisters, without doing every thing in her power to smooth over the trouble, and get them to "kiss and make up." "Well, little Peace, what shall it be ?" "Something true this time," said Peace, "for I'm getting tired of dragons and fairies." " Very well," said cousin Will. " I've only five minutes, and must be short. I'm going to tell you about some very dangerous doors I've seen." "Oh I that's good," exclaimed Bob. " Were they all iron, and heavy bars, and if one passed through would they shut with a great snap, and keep him there forever ?" "No," replied cousin Will, "the doors I mean are very pleasant to look upon. They are pink, or scarlet like sea-shells, and when they are open, you can see a row of little servants standing all in white, and just behind them is a little lady dressed ' in crimson." "Why that's splendid," cried Kate, "I should like to go in myself." Ah, it. is what comes out of those doors, that makes them so dangerous. It is always best to have a strong guard on each aide, or else there is great. trouble and misery." "Why what comes out?" said little Peace with wonderinreyes. " Well, I've never seen very clearly," said cousin Will, " but sometimes when the guards were away,l've known somethine b to come out sharper than arrows, or stings of bees, and make some terrible wounds. Indeed quite later.) , I saw two very pretty little doors close together, and when one opened, the little crimson lady began to talk very fast, and said something like this : gOh ! did you see Lucy Waters to-day? What a proud, stuok•up' thing shais, but that dress she thinks so much of, is made- out of her sister's old, one.' 'Oh yes', said the little crimson lady, looking out of the other door, 'and did you ever see such a funny turn-up nose as she has. Why, I think she'd keep it rolled up in cotton if she only knew bovi it looked. Then poor Lucy Waters, who was only round the corner of the house, felt a sharp little sting in her heart, and ran home to cry all the pleasant mintier evening?' "I know what you mean, cousin cried Kate, coloring violently, "bat I t , don't think it was at all right for you to stand around listening." "Oh I do you mean , our mouths are the doors," eitilitimed Harry, "mid the little crimson lady is bliss Tongue ?" "Even so," said cousin Will. - "Well who is the guard, and where do they come from ?" asked Bob. "Why you have to ask the great King, and this is what you must say: 'Set a watch, 0 Lord, upon my lips, keep the door of my mouthP— Thenhe will send Patience and Love to stand one side of the door, and Tritth - and. Humility on the other, and the sharp bitter, stinging little words won't dare to come out." "I shall ask the great King, " said little Peace thoughtfully. Cousin Will kissed her, and re peated the verse till each one could say it. " Now run to school," cried he cheerily, "and when you c ome home, I will tell you the minute I look at the four little doors, whether the King's guard has been there all day." So the children trooped away with their dinner baskets and books, and Love certainly guarded the doors all the way to the school-house. Even impulsive sate thought deeply on cousin Will's gentle reproof, and made good resolutions for the future. During the morning great peace and harmony reigned throughout the school, but ai th e day advanced, it became very warm. Every round cheek became flushed, and the restless lit tle figures seemed examples of perpetual motion. "Oh, I never did see such flies 1" said Jenny Wood fretfully, waving her hand around her head. " Why, Jenny Wood," cried Susy Waters, almost aloud, "You've knocked my elbow, and book ink all over my copy. You're a careless hateful girl 1" " Susan," said Miss Saunders, the teacher, "are yea whispering ?" it N' o , ma ' a m," replied Susy, promptly. Peace looked up with such surprise in her in nocent eyes, that bliss Saunders turned to asking Luuy, who was whispering in your part of the hem Susy and Jenny both turned upon her with a very threatening look, and little Peace, coloring painfully, burst into tears. "Nuer mind," said Miss Saunders kindly, "I did not think it was you, but Susy may sit a while upon the recitation bench." Susan looked very black, and as she passed little Peace, she gave the child Buell 'a violent pinch, that she could scarcely keep from scream ing. " You're a cruel wicked girl!" began Miss Tongue, but Love and Patience kept the little red door tight shut, and Susy did not hear a word. Little Peace cried quietly to herself a long time, but nobody seemed to notice it till the school was out, when sister Kate flew up to Susy Waters 7 "Well, Susy, you certainly are - the ugliest girl —and more thatt that, you're a coward—for.l've heard father say tbat only cowards hurt people who are smaller and weaker than themselves." Now Love, Humility and Patience had all tried to keep guard, and to whisper, "Poor Susy, she was very tired and warm, and nobody speaks kindly to her. Try and forgive her." But no ! the door new, open, and little Miss Tongue threw all those hard stones at Susy's heart. • Now Susy was very passionate, and she stamped her feet, and grew crimson with rage, and said such very hard things, that Jenny Wood and most of the other girls took sides with Kate, and there was soon such a Babel of tongues, that the boys left their game of ball and came to see what was the matter. "What is it, Peace ?" cried Harry Graham, taking his little frightened sister from, Kate's neck, " Why, Katy, you look as mad as poor puss when Towser has chased her for an hour. I wonder what cousin William would say to that mouth." Kate looked a little ashamed, and Fred Waters, taking his sister by the arm, led her away home, bitterly telling over wrongs in his sympathizing ear. So the little party separated, and Kate, too, ran home with her flushed cheeks, taking good care to keep out of cousin Will's way. Immediately after tea Jenny Wood came into the garden. "Oh Kate," she cried, "I must tell you what John is going to do. You know he despises that hateful Susy Waters as much as we do, and he says that he will pay her to-night for all her ugliness." "What will he do?" cried Kate eagerly. "Why he, with one of the other boys, is goine., thereafter dark to get that white kitten she thinks' so much of, and cut off its ears and tail. Oh won't she be furious when she sees it in the morning?" Kate looked a little doubtful, and said, "Oh! I'm afraid that won't be just right." But Jenny talked so fast, and recalled so many ugly things that she had said and done, that Kate's scruples wore soon overcome,' But Peace, who stood by, with sad, troubled eyes, immediate ly resolved in her generous little heart to try and give Susy warning. Finding Bob, she hastily told him the whole story, and that she must go to Susy's, but she'd run all the way, and be back before dark. It was a long walk for the tired little girl, but the patient feet started braiely on their errand of, love. The sun set—the shadows lengthened--all the little birds sang their sweet good night, and, put their heads under their wings, but no little Peace came back. Soon there were inquirings on every side, and great shouting and calling, but no sweet echoing voice returned. Servants were despatched in every direction, but all in vain.— Soon the family became much, alarmed, and little Bob was awakened to be asked if 'he knew any thing of his sister. He told all the story, and Kate, coloring under cousin Will's reproachful gaze, burst into bitter weeping. But DO"one had time to comfort her, for father, mother, cousin Will, and all, started forth with lanterns to find the pet of the household. " I suppose she is blessed wherever she is," said 'little Bob confidently, "because she's a peace maker! "Oh perhaps," groaned Kate, "she's gone — sit* from us all to e one of the children of God." All night long they searched for little Peace, but she had not been at Susy's, nor could she anywhere be found. When the morning dawned, all the little schoolmates with solemn faces joined in the search. Susy Waters who had heard the whole story of the dear heart of little Peace, came up to Kate, with a pale, tear-stained face.- "Oh Kate, I shall never be happy again. How cruel I was to your sweet little sister. Can you ever forgive me?" Humility opened the door, and Kate said softly, "I am just as bad as you. If I had only been as kind as Peace, you would have been different. .1 shall never forgive myself." Just then Bob cried, "Here's a part of her dress on the fence." Cousin Will sprang forward and climbing over, looked eagerly around. Suddenly Faimer Waters cried, "There's an old, half-choked Well by the fence in the next field. Could the little one have lost her way, and fallen in that?" Cousin Will rushed forward followed by the whole company. Yes, the rotten old boards which had covered it for years, were broken, and there Was another piece.of the little blue dress. Cousin Will shuddered, and threw himself down to look over the, brink. Then came a wild triumphant cry ! The old well was nearly filled up with rubbish. She had fallen only a little way, and there, bathed in the rosy morning light, the eager eyes, looking over, saw the fair hair, and the sweet, calm eyes, of little Peace. Each boy's cap took a turn in the air, and 'a clear, ringing "hurrah !" carried the good news to every house in the place. Then followed warm embraces, and happy tears, as the child was passed from friend to friend.— Then while Susy, Jenny and Kate, knelthandin hand, the good old minister, with his hand on the bead of little Peade, offered up a fervent thanks giving. And after praying that the little lambs might never forget the lesson'of the night, but that God would teach them that life and death were in the power_of the tongue, and that he would always keep the doors of all those tender mouths —he added reverently: "Oh Lord, open Thou our lips, and our mouths shall show — forth thy And all the children said—" Amen.''—M.. L. P. - congregationalist. LITTLE BY LITTLE Do my dear young friends ever think, how almost all that is good comes to ns ? Did you ever see a farmer planting and sowing? Down in the moist earth goes the seed and yellow corn, grain by grain, little by little. God sees the farmer at his work, and knows Fyn well that he has done what he could, so he kindly sends the gentle rain, drop by drop, and not one of these little drops ever forgets its errand upon the plea which the good God sent it to the earth. "I have found you out," said the rain-drop to the tiny grain of wheat, "though you are dead, and in your grave. God has sent me to raise you up." Well, there is nothint , . impossible with him; so when the rain-drop has done its errand, a spark of life shoots out from the very heart of the tiny grain, which is dead and buried, and little by lit tle it makes its way out of the tomb, and stands a single blade, in the warm sunlight. That is nobly done; and if the great God pleased he could make that little blade strong and fruitful in a single moment. Does he do this? No. Little by little does the stalk wax strong and its leaves grow slowly, leaf by leaf. Is it not so with every thing that is good ? Should we like another way better? Impatience would. It was only a few days ago that I heard a little girl sa amy: "I tired, tired, tired ! Here is a whole stocking to knit, stitch by stitch! It will never be done." "But was not this one knit stitch by stitch P' I asked, taking a long one from her - basket, and holding it up. "Well, that is done." The little girl was counting, instead of knitting her stitches. No wonder that she was tired. Did pa .ever see a mason building'a7honse of bricks ?,, "Poor: man : " Impatience mild say; Attlevican TrtobrAttiatt " What an undertaking—to start froit the earth, and go on so far towards the sky, brick by brick !" Who ever saw a patient, persevering person try, and not succeed at last ? So, then, step by step, which is God's way, unlit be the best way. Let us see that we do every day what we can. Any little boy or girl who, in looking back upon a day gone by, can say, " I have done one thing well," Inay be happy with the thought that he has taken one step in the way of wisdom and virtue. But remember one thing, dear little friend, the buried grain of wheat would never spirt - into life if God did not send it help; and it is by the same help that it increases day by day. As the little rain-drop—God's beautiful messen ger—descends into its tomb, so in the darkness and death of sin, the Holy Spirit conies to us.— If he breathe upon our bearts, we live to do good; without him, we do nothing good. Let us obey this. Spirit, and all good will be ours at last, though we gain it little by little. °'' R 3toictillanton,o. CONCERNING HURRY AND LEISURE. It is all very well to be occasionall, for two or three days, or even for a fortnight, in .a hurry.— Every earnest man, with work to do, will find occa sionally there comes a pressure of it; there comes ,a crowd of things which must be done quickly if they are done at all; and the condition thus in duced is burry. lam aware, of course, that there hurry—burr_y_ adding to rapidity the element of painful confu-' theta; but in the case of, ordinary people,* haste generally implies hurry. And it will never do to become involved in epode of life which implies a constant breathless pushing on. It, must be a horrible thing to get through life in a burry. It is highly expedient for all, it is absolutely neces sary for most men, that they should have occasion al leisure. Many enjoyments—perhaps' all the tranquil and enduring enjoyments of life—cannot be felt except in leisure. And the best products of the human mind and heart can be brought forth only in leisure. Little does he know of the calm, unexciting, unwearying, lasting satisfaction of life, who has never known What it is to place the leisurely hand in the idle pocket, and to= saunter to and fro. Mind, I utterly despise the idler— the, loafer as Yankees term him, who never does any thing—whose idle hands are always in his idle pockets, and• who is always sauntering to and fro. Leisure, be it remembered, is the intermis sibii of labor; it is the blink of idleness in the life of a hard-working man. It is only in - the, case . of such a man tharleisure is dignified, (tom - mendable, or. enjoyable. But to him it is all these, and more. Let us not be ever driving on. The machinery,,-physical and mental, will not; stand it. It is fit that one should occasionally sit down on , a grassy bank, and look listlessly, for a long time, at the daisies around, and watch the patehes of bright blue sky through green leaves overhead. It is right to rest on a large stone by the margin of a river; to rest there on a summer day for a long time, and to watch the lapse of the water as it passes away, and to listen to its silvery ripple over the pebbles.. Who but a blockhead will think you idle ? - Of course, blockheads may; but you and I, my reader, do not care a rush -for the opinion of blockheads. It is- fit that a man should have time to chase his little children about the green, to make a kite and occasionally fly it, to rig a ship and occasionally sail it, for the happi ness of those little folk. There is nothino• un becoming in making your Newfoundland, (Fog go into the water to bring out sticks, nor in teaching a lesser dog to stand on his binder legs. No doubt Goldsmith was combining leisure with work when Reynolds one day visited 'him; but it was leisure that aided the work. The painter entered the poet's room unnoticed. The poet was seated at his desk, with his pen in his hand; and with his- paper'befere "hiln : but hethad turned away from The Traveller, and with uplifted hand was looking towards -a corner ,of the room, where - a little dog sat with difficulty on his haunches, with imploring eyes. Reynolds looked over the poet's shoulder and read a couplet:whose ink was still wet: "By sports like these are all their cares beguiled; The sports of children satisfy the child."' Surely, my friend, you will never again read that couplet, so simply and felicitously expressed, without remembering the circumstances in which it was written. 'Who should know better than Goldsmith what simple pleasures "satisfy the child?" Let it be:remembered, in the praise, of leisure, that only in leisure will the human mind yield many of its best products. Calm views, sound thoughts, healthful feelings, do not originate in a hurry or a fever. There must be long seasons of quiescence between the occasional efforts of production. An electric eel cannot be always giving off shocks. The shock is powerful, but short,, and then long time is needful to rally for another. A field ) however good its soil, will not grow wheat year after year. Such a crop exhausts the soil ; it is a strain to produce it ; -sad 'after it thelfteld' must lie fallow for a while,—it must have leisure,• in short. So it,' is with the mind. Who does not know that various literary electric, eels by repeating their shocks too frequently, have, come at last to give off an electric result, which is but the faintest and washiest echo of the thrilling and startling ones of earlier. days?. Who does not feel how -weal the successive shocks of Mr. Thackeray and Mr. Dickens are growing? The former, especially, strikes out nothing new. Any thing good in his recent, pw duetions is just the old thing with the ColorOa good deal washed out' and with salt, which lies lost its saver. Poor stuff comes of, constantly cutting and cropping. The potatoes of the mind grow small: the intellectual wheat comes to have no ears.; the moral turnips are-infected with_ the finger and toe disease.• The mind is a reservoir which can.he emptied in , a rough shorter time thin it is possible to fill it. It fills:through an infinity of little. tubes, Many so" small_ as to act' by.capilla- Ty attraction. I3ut in writing a book, or even an article, it einpties as, through a twelve-inch, pipe.. It is to me quite wonderful that most of the, ser nions` one hears are so good as . they are, consider ing the . unintermittent stream in which most preachers are compelled to produce them. I have sometimes thought, in listening to the disconise of a really thoughtful and able clergyman :-- : If you, my friend, had to write a sermon once a month instead of once a week, how very admirable it would be You cannot always drive the machine at its full speed. I know, indeed, that the machine maybe so driven for two or three years at the beginning of a man's professional life; and it is possible for a man to go on for such a period with hardly any appreciable leisure at all. But it knocks up the machine :• it wears out : and after an attack or two of nervous fever, we learn what we should have known from the beginning, that a far larger amount of tangible work will be accomplished by regular exertion of moderate degree and continu ance, than by going ahead in the feverish and un restful-fashion in which really earnest men are so ready to begin their task. It seems, indeed, to be the rule rather than the exception, that clergy men should break down in .strength and spirits in about three years after entering the church.— Some die': but happily a large number get well again, and for the remainder of their days, work at a more reasonable rate. As for the sermons written in that feverish, stage of life, what crude and extravagant things they are; stirring and striking, perhaps,, but hectic and forced, and en tirely devoid of .the repose, reality, and daylight feeling, of actual life and fact. Yet, how many good, injudicious people, are ever ready to expect of the new curate or rector an amount of work which man cannot do; and to express their dis appointment if that work is not done! It is so very easy to map ont a. task which you are not to do yourself: and you feel so little wearied by the toils of other men! As for you, my young friend beginning your parochial life, don't be ill-pleased with the kindly meant, advice of one who speaks from the experience of a good many years, and who has himself known all that you feel, and foolishly done ell that you are now disposed to, do. Consider for bow many i urs o t e day you ca labor without injury to boy , , and mind; labor faith fully for these hours, and ' r no more. Never min. about what may be said b Miss L imejuice an. Mr. Snarling. They will find fault at any rate and you will mind less a. ut their fault-finding if you have an unimpaired 'igestion, and unaffect ed lungs, and an unenlar:•d heart. Don't, pre tend that you are always. Irking; it would b;.. sin airainst God and .. re, if you were. Sa frankly, There is a certain amount of work that I can do; and that.l will do , but I must have my 11 hours of leisure. I must.lave them for the sak ,- of my parishioners as mr las for my own ; fo leisure is an essential partf that mental disciplin , which will enable my md to grow and turn o ; t sound instruction for th , benefit. Leisure is necesary part of true lift; and if 1 am to live a all, I must have it. Surly, it is a thousand time better candidly and m. fully to take up tha ground, than to take r: reation on the slv, a• „. though you were asharne, of being found out i • it., and to disguiseglour 1 —ure as though it wen a sin. Said Miss Limejaice, saw Mr. Swetter, the DOW rector, to-day. Ah ' she added, with a mali cious smile I fear he is growing idle already, though he has not been ii the parish six months. I saw him, at a quarte before two precisely, standing at his gate with ,'s hands in his pockets. I observed that he looked for three minutes over the gate into the clover i I dhe has got. And then 11 Smith drove up in . rag, and stopped and i t got out; and he and the or entered• into con versation, evidently aboutq ' e horses, for I saw -_firSwetts.rWalkroun4l: ,m several times, and rub down their w forelegs.

Such, let me assure he incredulous reader, are the words which .I h e myself heard Miss Limejuice, and her moth , old Mrs. Snarling Limejuice, uter more than rice or twice. Know ing the rector well, and -k wing,how he, portions out his day, let me expla to those candid, indi viduals the state of facts. , t ten o'clock precise ly, having previously gone'the'stable and walked round the garden, Mr. S etter sat down at his desk in his study and woe d hard till .one. At two, he is to ride` np the pa ish to: see various sick persons among the cotta,g rs. But from . one to two he has laid his work as e; and tried to banish' all thought of his work. ~ uring that period he has been running about t green with his little boy, and even rolling up the grass';; and he has likewise strung togethe a number of daisies on U thread, which you migb lave seen round little. Charlie's neck if you ha looked sharply. He ;,. has been unbending his nai (1, you - see, and enjoy ing leisure after his work.;. tis entirely true that he 'did look into the cl "' -field' and. enjoy the . 4 , fragrance of it, which phi iprobably regard as a piece •of sinful self-indulg,ce: And sills friend t corning up, it is, likewise ce tain that he examined his horses (a new pair) :w h much _interest and minuteness. Let me add, hat _only contemptible. humbugs will think the les of him for all this.— The days are past in whic the ideal clergymen was an emaciated 'eremite who hardly, knew a cow from a horse, and w s, quite incapable of sympathizing with 'his hu bier parishioners in their little cares: And so little knowledge as to horses and cows, not to., ention potatoes and turnips, is a most valual attainment to the country parson. If his p shioners find that he matters entirely ignorant of thos atters Which they f understand best, they will= unnaturally draw the conclusion that he knows rt9 q in. While if they fi find that he, is fairly aua; ted with those things which they themselves and rstand, they will, con clude that he knOws everything. Helplessness and ignorance appear eonte ptible to simple folk, though the helplessness sho d appear in the lack of power to mat -41 ignorance in a man's not ki da potatoes are planted. ganitarY !L. t.—The ex . cessive mortality Ty— —tig an If the large cities on the banks of the Nile is not amazing, as the filthy habits of the people ar well known.
