Cult COWPER TO HIS MOTHER'S PORTRAIT. "Oh, that those lips had language! Life has passed With me but roughly since I heard thee last. Those lips are thine; thine own sweet smiles I see; The same that oft in childhood solaced me. Voice only fails, else bow distinct they say, 'Grieve not, my clild,—ahase all thy fears away.' The meek intelligence of those dear eyes, (Blest be the art that can immortalize; The art that baffles Time's tyriwinie claim To quench it,) here shines on me still the same. • • • • My mother, when I learned that thou . west dead, Say, west thou conscious of the tears I shod? Perhaps thou gav'st me, though unfelt, a kiss, Perhaps a tear, if souls oan weep in bliss; Ahl that maternal smile—it answers, yesl Thy nightly visits to my *umber made, That thou tnight'st know me safe and warmly laid; Thy morning bounties ere I left my home, The biscuit or oonleotionery plum; The fragrant waters on my cheek bestowed By thy own hand, till fresh they shone and gloWed. All this, and, more endearing still than all, Thy constant flow of love that knew no fall. All this still legible in memory's page, And still to be so to my latest age, Adds joy to duty; makes me glad to pay Such honors to thee as my numbers may; Perhaps a frail memorial, but sincere; Not scorned in heaven, though little noticed hero And while the wings of fancy still are free, And I can view this mimic show of thee, Time has but half succeeded in his theft, Thyself removed, thy power to soothe me left." "SOUNDING BE&SS." It Wag n bright winter's morning not far from the holidays, and little Diok-Malville was busily collecting his dinner-basket and books preparatory to setting out for school, when his older sister asked, "Did you learn any verse this morning, Dick?" " Of course I did; and said it to mother, too. It was—Ob where is my geography—l do believe baby has hid it somewhere. Well, it began—Oh, Bridget! please put in one more slice of bread and butter." "That's the queerest verse I ever heard," said Sam, who rather liked to tease his little brother. "Now, really, Sam, I was just going to say it. It was, 'Though I speak with the tongues of men and 'of angels, and have not eharity, I am becoine as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal,' and mother said charity meant love, and feeling kindly towards everybody; but if we're dross and hateful, then we're like 'sounding brass,' which is—" "Hear me," interrupted curly-headed little Madge, "I learned one too,—' Charity suffereth long, and is kind.' "That's a nice verse for kind little Madge," said Sam, lifting her on his knee. - "Dear me," again broke in Dick, "where can my skates be? Fred. Allen said the pond was frozen over, and we'd have a great time up there after school," "Why, Dick, Frank Burton came here last night,, and told me you said he might take them." "Now, Nelly, that's too bad! Ile told you a downright falsehood. He has lost his own skates, and he told naeyesterday he Was afraid he shouldn't get another pair till Christmas, but he never said a word about mine, for he knew I wanted to use them myself." "That's very strange," said Nelly. "Strange! it's downright mean," cried Dick, ve hemently, "and I will say that Frank Burton is the slyest, most selfish boy in school, and I don't believe he'd mind telling a lie any more than—" "Hush a minute," oried Sam with a merry twinkle in his eye, "I shouldn't, think the band would be out so early in the morning, but I'm sure I bear plenty of 'sounding brass' some where." head on one side, but Dick, coloring angrily, re torted, "I know what you mean, Sam, but if you'd just look at home, I think you'd find enough 'tinkling cymbals' to match my brass." "Dear little Dick," began gentle sister Neill. "Yes, I know it, Nelly; I know I was wrong; but if you wore only a boy, and loved to skate as I do, and then had every thing go wrong, you'd just forget all about charity, and wouldn't care a bit if you just turned into sounding brass." "Well, I didn't know you were in such a sad state of mind," said Sam, laughing. "You may take my skates if you like them." "Oh, dear, no; thank you just the same, but they're a great deal too large," and little Dick, with a heavy step, started for school. To his great disappointment, Frank Burton was not in his usual place, nor did he make his appear nun all day, and poor Dick could hear nothing of his skates. But when school-hours were at last over, he joined the merry party for the pond, and as he reached the ice, sure enough, there was Frank Burton with his own nice skates just buckled on l "Those are mine," shouted little Dick, "and I want to use them myself." "You can have them if you'll catch me,"mock ingly retorted Frank, gliding by him lie an ar row. Dick bit his lips, and thrusting his hands in his pockets, waited till he came around again. 4 . 6 Frank, you may go around the pond three times with my skates, if you'll give them to me then." Frank laughed loudly. "Very generous when you can't help yourself; I'll go round as many times as I please. It is great fun," and off he shot again. Several of the smaller boys who stood near were very sorry for Dick, but Frank was so large and strong they did not dare attack him. Poor Dick stood for nearly an hour gazing on the animated scene, growing very cold, and struggling against the bitter thoughts that filled his heart. The boys were so full of fun, and he did so love to skate I At last when Frank came around once more, flushed with exercise, and screamed, "Grandfather, would you like to take a turn on my skates?" Poor Dick said to himself, "Well, I'm sure I've euffered long enough,—bilt I must say I don't feel very kind. That verse may do very well for, girls, but boys—" Just then came a crash and a shout,— " The ice has broken! Frank Burton has gone in I Will he drown ? Oh, the water is too shallow. No; it's deep right in the middle. There he's holding on. Can't any one help him 7 How the ice breaks! We can't get near him." "Let me try," said Dick. "No, he won't drown; and he's so ugly, let him have a good fright. He'll pull you in, too, Dicky," urged the smaller boys. " Help, boys," cried Frank; "I am so cold I can't hold on much longer, and if I stir, the ice crack a." "Run for farmer Jones," said one, and a dozen boys started. "Oh I'll die before they get back," ~g roaned Frank. Just,then ,Dick remembered something he bad read, and running across the pond, he tore, with all his strength, a long board from the nearest fence, and hastening back, laid it carefully across the hole so that Frank could reach it. Then lying down flat on the ice be slowly crawled up near enough to help the numb, frightened boy upon the board, and with great care he drew him far ther and farther till he was once more upon strong, safe ice. "Three cheers for Dick Melville," shouted the little boys, as the others returned with Dick's fa ther, whom they had met on the road. As the story was eagerly told, it was hard to tell which blushed the most, poor chattering Frank Burton, or happy, brave little Dick. But Frank, as soon as he could speak, made an apology to Dick, before all the boys, and then in a lower tone said— "I shall never forget this, Dick, and I hope I shall be a better boy." You may imagine the happiness of Dick when his father related . the occurrence at home; and Sam, walking up to him in a grand way, said-- '"I am proud to shake bands with you, brother Dick, and I think I must have been mistaken about that 'sounding brass' this morning." But the beat of it was when his mother whis pered— " You have made me very happy, my little son, but above all, I think you have pleased God." YOUR MOTHER Young man, have you a mother living still on God's earth? What is she to you? An old woman with wrinkled face, and gray locks, and rustic cap,—high-waisted dress, and form bowed and crushed together with the weight of years, al together uncomely to your fastidious eye. Ab, lock again. Each of those wrinkles is a sublime poem of self-devotion; each furrow on that face some long-enduring care has ploughed; the silver lines in those dark locks have changed their hue in busy household thoughts, the patient toil of day, the wearyinc , nightly vigils, and burdens borne for you, as well as others, have lain more heavily on her head than the pressure of years. Can there be anothe'r face that can match that wrinkled face in sweet, spiritual beauty? Could painter limo, or sculptor chisel a form that should wear such grace in your eye as that no longer youthful form? Do you touch any band with suc tender deference as that with which you lift that trembling clasp of age to your heart? Where dwells this mother of yours? In the old early home, with hilt few of the voices that have once beeninusical there, left to cheer her gathering loneliness. The ashy gray evening is corning upon her. What lights do you keep burning there to drive the gloom away? Does the frequent post carry her filial greetings from you? Do little to kens, precious to her heart, not because of the cost, but of the loving remembrance they attest, : eo-5..-- - Ippr hartd_tri.l.4---Doca iirirkliow she is unfor gotten in your bright, busy career? As oft as Providence permits, does your face break in upon her solitude? Are you repaying in her uncheered age, the debt of your early years contracted ? The dear friends of long ago have most of them left her side; do you feel that, and feel it for her? Does she have it to muse upon in the brooding hours of her long twilight, how thoughtful this great, grown boy of hers is for her comfort? She never complains of you, I know. That she would not do. But silently, like a cancer, neglect, your neglect, would eat into her heart. Is she beneath your own roof? Has she the Seat of honor? the largest conveniences there?

If you have brightened and gladdened that life's decline, that evening recital will be as celestial minstrelsy to your spirit. If there is one painful recollection, no grief can be so bitter as that in which you groan out, 64 Oh, if she could but return !"—Rcv. A. L. Stone, an Tholjer's Home Monatly. RELIGIOUS VALUE OF OBEDIENCE. From a sermon on Family Government lately preached by Rev. Wm. Aikman, of Hanover St. Church, Wihnington, we extract the following in structive remarks. Let parents and others con cerned in the training of children take notice. It has been remarked by one of very great ex perience and knowledge of human nature, that those who have never been taught rightly to obey their parents, find it very hard to submit their hearts to God. What I have said in these dis courses will illustrate and confirm it. If one has not been accustomed to yield his will to authority,• it he has life-long been in the habit of enthroning it above law, be will not readily bring it down when these, though they be higher claims - , are first. There is in almost every soul, but in his the conflict is marked and desperate. When the demands of God are urged, the duty of immedi ately bowino." his will, and the submission of his soul to God, are set before him, at once his life habit of rebellion comes into action, and stands resolutely in his way. He has never been as customed to submit, why should he, how can he, begin now? In a multitude of cases such persons do never submit themselves to God; or if ever, then only after a conflict which is like a death. struggle. I suppose many and many a case of what is erroneously called deep conviction of sin, and truly of deep and dreadful distress might be explained by the early life of the man; it is after all only the struggle of an unsubdued will, a will never bowed to any authority, coming face to face with a law to which it must bow or be ruined. Such cannot be the case of one who has from the first been taught to reverence and submit to parental law. He has been trained to obey with his whole heart and in view of those superior claims, because they are superior. He has been accustomed to submit to this subordinate law this law which we have seen to be a rudiment Of the Divine law. Now when 'the greater law presents itself and makes its demand, the habit of his life prompts him to yield. These habits are on the side of submission to God. When the law calls for immediate surrender of the soul, when the Creator, the Infinite parent, asks the whole heart, and when the soul perceives the authority which, claims the offering, accustomed to yield, it obeys and consecrates itself to God. There is no long conflict, but by a speedy and a calm submission, the soul enters into rest quickly. Such are the cases of easy conversion. I think that I do not go too far, when' I say that a Christian parent may not only expect such an issue of his training but may look for more. Under God's grace he may be so successful that his child shall unconsciously to himself become a child of God. The habit, formed almost from the first breathing, of submission-may be so interwo ven with the child's nature, that he shall snot notice or know the time when he first yielded himself to Him. The day of this new birth may come, the claims of God may seem so clear and so reasonable ? and his heart may bow so readily and willingly before them that the time, the hour of conversion may never be remembered or even known. There was no struggle to mark the time, there was no fierce dashing of contending waves, the flowing stream moired so gently as it mingled itself with the will of God, that the place where the waters met could not be seen. But further, what is true of repentance is equally true of faith. It will be easy for such a child to exercise faith in Christ. Here, too, the habits of his life come in, not to oppose but to aid him. The foundation of his obedience is the faith which he has in his parents. He obeys be cause he believes. His obedience rests on his be lief. He has been trained to the one through the. other. Obedience and faith go hand in hand:. So when the soul is brought in close relationship to God, faith finds a place prepared for it in the soul. When God speaks it obeys, and when he asks the soul trusts. Accustomed to trust in Him, whom it obeys, when it has obeyed God it be lieves His promises and trusts His grace. In such a case, as before, the .moment of faith may not be perceived; the child of God may not be able to remember the time when he did not trust i n Jesus Christ.. HAPPINESS.—The foundation of domestic hap piness is faith in the virtue of woman. The foun dation of political happiness is faith in the integrity of man. The foundation of all happiness, temporal and eternal, is faith in the goodness, the righ teousness, the mercy, and the love of God. YOUNG CONVERTS AND'PRAYER.-A minister of high position and long experience writes to an exchange: 4 ‘.1 would call attention to the importance of calling upon young converts to lead in prayer. When in their first love, they will venture with out fear, and will soon become active in the spiri tual department of the Church, if they have any gifts at all." Indulgence in verbal vice soon encourages cor responding vices in conduct. Let any one of you come to talk about any mean or vile practice with &familiar tone, and do you suppose, when the op portunity occurs for committing the mean or vile act, he will be as strong against it as before? It is by no means an unknown thing that men of cor rect lives talk themselves into crime, into sensual ity, into perdition. Bad language easily runs into bad deeds. Select any iniquity you please; suffer yourself to converse in its dialect, to use its slang, to speak in the character of one who approves or relishes it, andl need not tell you how soon your moral sense will lower down its level. Becoming intimate with it, you lose your horror of it. This obvious principle of itself, furnishes a reason for watching the tongue Tract Journal 'The groundwork of all manly character is ve racity. Tbat virtue lies at the foundation of everything solid. How common it is to hear pa rents say, "I have faith in my child so long as he speaks the truth. He may have many faults, but I know he will not deceive me. I build on that confidence." They are right. It is a lawful and just ground to build upon. And that is a beauti ful confidence. Whatever errors temptation may betray a child into, so long as brave, open truth remains, there is something to depend on, there is anchor-ground, there is substance at the centre. Men of the world feel so about one another. - They can be tolerant and forbearing so long as their err icg brother is true. It is the fundamental virtu.g Ordirjpzy co tierce. — l -- ,41 7 -- -wrtuouc godmeasure of it. If we cannot be lieve what others say to us we cannot act upon it, and to an immense extent that is saying that we cannot act at all. Truth is a common interest. When we defend it, we defend the basis of all so cial order. When we vindicate it, we vindicate our own foothold. When we plead for it, it is like pleading for the air of health we breathe. When you undertake to benefit a lying man, it is like putting your foot into the mire. ORIGINAL LETTERS OF DR. AND MRS JUDSON. We copy from a Belvidere, N J., paper the following letters, the originals of which are in the possession of Rev. H. S. Osborn, pastor of the Second Church, and were read by him at a re cent monthly concert. They are interesting as fixing the date of publication of the first Christian treatise issued in Burmah. MY DEAR SISTER ABIGAIL:-I have just re turned from my little bamboo house in the garden, where I have been spending some time in prayer for the poor heathen. -Respecting the conversion of the Burmans, do feel a strong and animating hope that the time is not far distant when they will become the real disciples of Christ. We see the rubbish re. moving, and the way preparing for the promulga tion of the gospel, and though elouds are over our heads and difficulties lie in our path, we see an invisible hand that can easily dissipate them and make the way smooth before us. We consider it a very encoura g ing circumstance that Mr. Hough and his family been brought to us, particu larly as Mr. Hough is a printer. The mission aries at Serampore have sent us a press, and it is almost in a state of preparation to begin to print a tract, the first that was ever written in the Bur. man language, and which has been ready for the press this long time. Feb. 2d.—Well, my dear sister, we live to see the first tract that ever was printed in the Bur man country, completed. Is it a trifling circum stance to see the first printing press that viss_e_vp ; in operation in this country, employed in the cause of Christ? Must not Satan tremble for the strength of his kingdom, when he sees this power ful engine engaged against him? And will not the angels rejoice, (though no Burman is, convert ed,) to see this heathen people reading in their own language of the wonderful works of God?— This is a new era in our mission, we see what no one ever saw before, and we bless God and take I courage. Mr. Hough has now in the press a little catechism which I wrote merely for the children in our own compound, but Mr. Judson thinks it best to have it in circulation among others. It is a simple little thing, calculated to give children their first idea of God, of themselves, of Christ, of heaven, of hell. We have begun to circulate the tract, and hope God will make it a means of exciting a spirit of inquiry. MY DEAR SISTER:-At Nancy's request, I take up my pen in haste, to fill this vacant page. I have begun to translate the Nev Testament with in a few days past, and I had just hammered out the 12th verse of the 3d of Matthew, when I met with the present interruption. Toilsome work, dear sister; but work that I expect to be engaged in the greater part of my short life; work which is not indeed so pleasant, as to be roving about, preaching the gospel to the natives, but which is indispensable to be done in the first place. The Bible, or some part of it, must be given to a peo ple before anything can be permanently effected ; and in the present case, there is no individual who can do a syllable of the work but myself, nor can there be for several years. Mr. Bough has printed a' tract and small catechism: the latter was written wholly by your sister, and is quite as intelligible as the others. They are both read with ease by the natives. Your ever affectionate brother, A. JUDSON. SHALLOW SCHOLARSHIP-TRIIE OB fECT OF STUDY. The following remarks are designed to exhibit one of the greatest evils in our prevailing system of school education. We commend them to the regard of teachers, and all interested in the train ing of the rising generation: If there be any one evil greater than another which distresses the educational enterprise of our country, it is a shallow scholarship—the expansion of a meager mind over the surface of a hundred arts and sciences. Study has become a process of skimming; and the attainments of the student in knowledge are but the light froth of learning. The fields of science are only surveyed—they are sel dom cultivated. The spade has been thrown aside, and in every hand we find the chain and compass. The youthful adventurer in those boundless fields travels without observation, and claims 'to possess without conquest. Children of tender years are hurried over subjects beyond their capacity to un derstand ! and this, too, in a period of time too limited even for the maturest mind. There is nothing that excites my sympathy more than the sight of a little boy or giirl of tender brain and impressible soul, groaning under a weight of life less text-books, whose very titles are to them in comprehensible—sickening, and palling, and sour ing at heart under the regimen of a strong and indigestible diet of "elements," "outlines,'' and other " knowledges"—turning from the sunny sky, and tuneful birds, and sweet waters of mea dow, hill, and wood; 'ond, fired with unwholesome ardor by the promise of a bright medal or a paint ed curd, toiling through all the bright day to mouth the barbarous nomenclature of skeleton sciences which they can neither love nor compre bend. It may as well be asserted roundly, that but little, comparatively, of what one must know in order to become learned, can be acquired at all in school,. in the time usually allowed in this fast country; and it is a. wretched compromise with the impatience of the age to sacrifice accuracy and thoroughness to the demands of so weak an ambi tion. Guesses at Truth Hence it is a matter of the, first importance to select those branches of study which are adapted as a means of general cultuie of the youthful mind. The object of schools is not to make scholars, but Aintriratt Nitt e r.i4ttriatt and 1 4, tutOte graitottiOt. VERBAL VICES F. D. Huntington, D. D VERACITY. Jan.

But what a bungling, superficial thinker will he become who has from childhood, read without reflection, and thereby lost in power what has been gained in time' Noonan can be said to be edu cated, in any sense of the term, who has not learned to take pains. This is the first great lesson to teach the children. So-far from acquiring such a habit from the-,comiaon mode of studying at school, they are educated *by the long task, and hurried recitation, int'a dreamy, thoughtless, g/su perficial manner of iding over the surface of things, without a suspicion of what lies beneath. A few well-chosen subjects, understood in their minutest details, is bitter than the universe ge neralized and guessed at: Besides, the youngiannot be interested by out lines. Skeletons disgust and frighten them. A little girl of ten summers once asked her instruct or,, who was teaching 4 dry skeleton of English history, what was the cplor of Queen _Diary's eyes. In spite of outline schools, that child will become a historian, if encouraged. How many of our schools are but valleys of dry bones?

Often a teacher may excite a class to enthusiasm by sim ply dwelling on the minute points of the lesson., New York Teacher. Among the duties Which devolve upon pastors, and, in some respects,'among the most delicate and trying, are those connected i with 'the burial of the dead. Every . krine;pl.--emYmPatal and. obligation demands st y they should especially -(41,-.+-suzirttilies to impart the consolations of the gospel to the bereaved, and the admonitions of a providential God'for good to the living. In few ways can the minister of Christ more faith fully and usefully actut his holy office than in waiting upon these dispensations of God among his people. And therelare few things, we believe, in which our ministers are more untiring and at tentive than in taking heed to such calls. In connexion with this übje c t , _however, there are some points to whipl we would like to have the attention of our people specially directed:— First, The impropriety of having, under any ordinary circumstances, .a funeral on the Sabbath. Usually it is neither a work of necessity nor mercy to have it so. It can be either before or after the Sabbath, and, if necessary, ice can be procured at a small cost, and with little trouble, to preserve the body from anything offensive' or unpleasant. Thus, much may be done to prevent the bustle and confusion which are almost necessarily inci dent to such an occasion—to speak of nothing worse—and which are so inconsistent with the sa cred stillness and peace of the holy day. Second, In the great• mass of cases, ministers should not be expected-to attend the remains to the place of burial. 'wall the large cities, and in many places in the Jeotry, the grave-yard or cemetery is so distantr-and all the arrangements are so slowly carried out, that many hours are not unfrequently required to be spent at each funeral, and that often at •times and under circumstances when the minister can very poorly, afford to be away from his studies or other pressing duties. If, in ordinary cases, he attends at the house, and by word and prayer, does what he can to comfort mourners, and to have the solemn dispensation im proved for the good of all, is not this all that ought to be required? Where, as in large ebb gregations, many funerals must be attended, any other course must interfere with duties that often times painfully crowd upon an anxious and wea ried spirit, and tend to wear early out the most faithful of the men of God. F. D. Huntington Third, In fixing the time , for the funeral, an inquiry should be made as to what may be the convenience of the pastor in regard to it. Usually the undertaker, and almost all parties concerned, are carefully waited on for this, and the arrange ments are made accordingly. Why should not r-_ .4.... . ,4*.a.L.11(.....5nay.1a. • . . • other funeral or some 'pressing engagement fixed for the hour appointel,and _thus be unable to at tend, or if he attemptslo do so, do it hurriedly, and without the opportunity of doing himself or the occasion justice. We have also known instances of great offence being given at a minister's failing to meet arrangements thus made, when it was im possible for him to have done so. Is this just or becoming? Common as the subject of funerals is, we com mend the above and similar suggestions to the consideration of our readers. Destitution in Rome:--There is now great dis tress at Rome. Every article of food is at famine prices. A few weeks ago the chapter of the Church of San Lorenzo assembled for the purpose of opening the box placed at one of the entrances to receive the "Peter's Pence," when they found it filled with slips of paper containing the:words, "We desire Victor Emmanuel King of Ita/r and similar sentences.

FARREL, HERRING & N 629 CHESTNUT Sr. (Jayne's Hall.) *YEWS SAItSA.PARILLA., ler Purifying the Blood, And for the speedy cure of the subjoined varieties of Disease Scrofula and Scrofulous Affections, such as Tumors, Ul- cers, Sores, .Bruptions Pimples, Pustules, Blotches, Boils,Blaine, and all S kin Diseases. Scrofula, or King's Evil, is a constitutional disease, a corral - dim: of the blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, It pervades the whole body, and may burst out in disease on any part of it. No organ is free from its attacks, nor is there one which it may not'destroy. The scrofulous tniut is variously caused by mercurial disease, low living, disordered or us healthy food, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection. Whatever be its oriole, it is hereditary in the constitution, descending "from parents to children unto the third and fourth generation:" indeed, It seems to be the rod of Him who says,—" I will visit the bohluties of the fathers upon their children. ' Its effects commence by deposition from the blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter; which, in the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed tuberclee; in the glands, retellings; and, on the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul corruption, which genders in the blood, depresses the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitutions not only suffer frord scrofulous complaints, but they have far less power to withstand the attacks of other disease. - . corms/new IY, 'vast numbers,perishby'disorderg, which, although not scrofulous In their nature, are still rendered fatal by this taint in the system. Idost of the consumption which decimates the human family, has its origin directly in this scrofulous contamination; and many de structive dimmers- of the liver, kidneys, brain, and, i ndeed, of all the organs, arise from or are aggravated by the same rause. One quarter.of allour people are scrofulous; their persona are in vaded by this lurking infection, and their health is undermined by It. To c lean s e it from theuystern, me meet renovate the bleed-by as alterative medicine, and invigorate it by healthy,food and exer cise. Such a medicine we supply in Ayer'e Compound thotract of .
