From flroham's Magazine,
TO MY LITTLE BOY.
BY MRS. lIKNRIKTTA 1.. COLBMAN.
I wntchod a rose one lovely morn,
Parade herselfa summer queen,
While by her Bide a hud, hnw-borh.
i*ay locked In Ibaves of softest green
As lliat fresit hud to beauty blow,
Thnt rose lost nil its seem and hue:
Aina ! I cried, that tills should be 1
Fur 1 thought, dear boy,'of thee and me.
I watched n parent bird that fed
llur Hedging many n vernal day, .
Training his dainty wings to spread
- And lightly flit from spray to spray:
Away-afur— I marked him soar,
Never to owiiTond guidance more.
Can care and love thus wasted be 1
.Sadly I thought of then and me.
t watfliad Uio moon rise sweetly bright,
With one ftiir star that laylielow.
Each lovelier shone from mutual light,
Ah hearts united gentler flow:
'Though moon and slor in heaven divide,
Time brings them overside by side:
Glorying I sp.,ke. thus may it be 1
For I thought dear boy, ufihce and me.

Tlio sunlight of a bright'summer morning stream
ed through the pointed windows of Sir Charles Har
rington’s dressing.room, mellowed by tlie rich liuls
ol‘ the glass, and also by costly gossamer curtains
descending fioin the ceiling, and uphold by crystal
bands. Sir Charles, in.an elegant Turkish robe’, had
thrown himscll' into a lauleuil, to devour tlie contents
oC a billet upon which his eyea had (alien, tind to
which his uuendanis had- failed to direct his atten

hid been written a week .before, and was from the |
pen of his beloved. A week’s neglect hi love is, to I
the sufferer, an ago ; minmea are -days, and liouisj

kindest Icruin! ,

Whilst the lover was indulging in these raptures.
« cab drew up at his duor, and Lionel Mildiuay, of
the Guards, jumping out, was in a lew moments in
troduced to his friend (Sir diaries.
••My heart’s best friend 1” exclaimed the latter;
••there’s not a friend I so much wished to see. 1

••What is ItT Let me see it,” said Lionel,
“You must excuse me,” returned Sir Charles.—
"Ynu will not wrong my (Heniljiliip, nnd your man
Hera, to tempi mo lo show it to you."
‘•Nol lor ilia world, my-friend,” replied (ho oilier;
and he forthwith turned the couvenaliim to the cur
rent topics of the day; when u It tlm gossip oftho gay
world had occurred mihco Sir Charles, had left town,
was repe ited for his ainuocment. Iu this wuy near
ly an hour had passed, and -Mildmuy then rose to
depart. *
••You must nol go yet." exclaimed Sir Charles. *
"I myal,” «rtid Lionel; for l*iu invited to a wed

“The very Identical and adornbJo Lydia!” ex*
claimed the enrajiluied lover, “She in llic food, the

”0,” continued Mitdinuy, "what riddle or wlml

that is tlio wedding I am going to,”
“No, no, 1 ’ replied “tlml cannot bo.”
/‘Nothing is more true, 1 assure you,” said his

Grout wa« Sir Charles* amazement when Lionel
PtcraUlod.in the.correctness of Ills InlolllgoDco; but
the truth was placed beyond dispute by (ho arrival
of a letter front Miss Walsinghiim herself. Quickly
breaking the seal, ho read lu tho fallowing effect: *
Sir Charles :—
You havo sported with a heart when you knew it
was your own; and I have recalled the gift; Yon
also knew you had a rival, whose merits wore by no
means contemptible; yet yon cared so little for the
prize you had won, as to pay attentions to a lady in
the north, to which no doubt Is to he attributed your
neglect ol my last letter. You will please to.return
that letter, as this day I give my hand to (ho Earl of
Iluvorsham. L. W.
“Lady in tho North!” cried Sir Charles, “I’vo
been attentive to no lady In the North ! 'Tis but an
oxcaao—a fabrication to gloss over her perfidy! I’ll
go to the church myself, and forbid hor marriage.—
False, heartless, fickle girl! My rival shall not tri*
umph!”
“My dear Sir Charles,” said Mildmay, “bo cool, I
entreat you. Think of what you would do, and the
disgrace K must necessarily occasion.”
“I think of nothing but my luva ond'my despair!”
«ricd Sir Chorlos, and hastily concluding his toilet,
iio look his friend’s arm, and leaping into, his cab,
drove rapidly towards St. George's Church.
In answer to his inquiries, he ascertained (hat no
*uoh marriage had boon appointed tu take place
there; and as Lionel Mildmay confessed ho had not
thought of osking what particular church had been
■elected for the nuptials, (concluded us a matter of
course that it was St. George’s) tho despairing, lover
resolved upon proceeding at one to Lord Mutton's
bouse, There ho observed indications of the import*
*nt event about to toko place, that rcinbvcd all doubts
of (he correctness of hie Information.
”0, the words, tho gontlo words—so sweet, so
many that she has uttered to mo{” exclaimed Sir
CharlcB, "Qs if she hud been covetous not to leave

Sir Charles, who was well acquainted with the

When joy could make Urn life blond start,
And sorrow animate the tear.

And lam merely led to mourn; : \ t

“Now, June, take him upstairs to bod. he’s trot
to lie there oil. the afternoon.” •
. It was then four, and the sun did not act till nearly
eight o’clock. Vp stairs the poor child Imd to go,
and then tho motfjcr had some quiut. Hor babe siepl
soundly in the ‘cradle, undisturbed by Tommy!*
racket, and she enjoyed anew novel to the extent of'
almost entirely forgetting her lonely boy shut up In
the chamber above.
. “ Where’s Tominy ?” said n friend, who dropped In
about six.u’oloclu

“ What’s the inullcr ? Is ho sick ?“
“Oh, no, 1 liimost.wish ho'were.”
“ What a strange wish! Why do you wish so?”
“ Oh, because he’s like a little angel whon ho issick
—us good us ho can be. No, I hud to send him to
bed ns a punishment for disobedience. Hd Is a Inird
child to manage. 1.-tiiink I never saw one just like
him. But, you know obedience is everything.. It i
our duly to require a strict regard to this in ourcl
drun.” *.
Certainly. IF they do not obey their parents, as
Idren, they will not obey-the luwi as men.”
That is precise!)’ the view I take. And I make
point to require implicit obedience in my boy.
ThU is my duty ua a parent. Ihu ii is hard work.
“II ia, doubtlovs. Still we must, persevere, and in
patience our aonls.”
.■•To’, be jmtifol with a hoy like mine is a hard

I marked Urn friend, “ wlml we say mukoB little or no
1 impression. A calmly uttered word, iu whicih there
is nn expression of interest in and sympathy for the
child, does more,(Nun the sternest commands. This
I have Ion? since discovered. I never scold my
children. Sculding'dors no good, but hnrni. My
oldest boy.is restless, excitable and impulsive. If 1
were not to provide him with the meansot employing
himself, or In oihcrw-iys interest him, his hands would
be on everything in the house, and both, ho and I bo
made unhappy.”
“ But how can you interest him 7”
“In various ways- Sometimes 1 read to him ;
.sometimes I sol him to doing things hy way of ns.
sisllng me. I (aka him oul'whcn I can; and lei him
go with the girls when I send them on errands} I
provide him with playthings that are soiled to his age.
In u word, I try to keep him in my mind; and there
fore find it not very, difficult to meet his varying
states. I ncverjlirusl him aside, nnd say lam 100
hnsy to attend toltim when he comes with a request;
Ifl cannot grant if, I try and not say *no,’ for that
word comes 100 coldly upon the eager desire of an
urdcnl-mindod boy.”
*• But how cun you help saying ‘no,’ if the request
s one you cannot grant 7”
“ Sometimes I ash if something else will not do as
well. And sometimes I endeavor to create a new
interest in his mind. There are various wuys in
which it may bo done (hut readily suggest them
selves to those desirous for the good, of their children.
It is uffpociion that inspires thought. The love of I
children always brings a quick iululllgonco touching I
their good.”
Much more was said, not needful hero to repeat.
When the friend wont away, Tommy’s mother,
whoso ho irl'convicted her of wrong to her 11(1 to boy,
wont up Into the room whore she hud sent him to
[spend Tour er five lonely hours as a punishment fur
what was'in reality her own fault, and not hie.—

SKETCH OF 1 ioilN BUN VAN.
• To the names of Baxter omi Hoivo must be oildcd'

acquired knowledge, hut .in virture.lholr eqilal, anil
in genius their superior—John Bdnyan. Bunyan
nnri uecn bred a tinker, and hud served'as a privuto
soldier in the Parliamentary army. Early in his life
no had been fearfully tortured by remorse for his
youthful., sins, the worst of which seem, however, to
have been such os the world thinks venial. His
keen sensibility and powerful imagination made his
Internal conflicts singularly terrible. Me fancied
that ho was under sentence of reprobation, that ho
ha.d commuted blasphemy against the Holy Ghost,
He;liad .sold Christ,.that he was actually pos
spssed by a. demon. Sometimes h*ud voices from
Heaven .cried out to warn him. Sometimes fiends
whispered impious suggestions in his car. He saw
I visions of distant mountain .lops, on which (ho sun
[shone brightly, hut from which he was separated by
a waste of show. He fell the devil behind Mm, pul
I ling his clothes. He thonghuhal the brand ofCain
I had been set upon him. He feared that ho was about
to burst, asunder, like Judas. His mental agony
I disordered Ins health. Onod.iy he shook like a man
in. the palsy. On another day ho fell a fire within
Ins breast, it is difficult-1o understand how he sur*
viveil soßcrings so intense ond «o Ion? continued.—l
At length the clouds broke. From llio depths of
despsir, the penitent peed to a stale of tereno
felicity.
An irresistible impulse now urged him to imparl
lo other* the blessings of which he was himself no*
iCMod. Ho famed ilia baptists, nnd became a pm«.
cher and writer. His education had been that of a
mechanic. fie knew no language'buMho English,
«« It was spoken hr the common people. Ho had
studied no great model of composition ; with the ex.
cnplion, undoubtedly, of our noble translation of the
Bible. His spelling was bad. He frequently trnns
pressed the rules df grammar. Yet the native force
of genius, and his experimental knowlcdgcof.ult the
religious passions, from despair In ecstaev, amply
supplied in him the want of looming. His rode
ornlory mused nnd warmed his hearers, who listened
without interest to the labored discourses of great
logicians and Hebraists. His works were widely
circulated among the humbler clasps. One oftliem;
tho Pilgrim’s Progress, was, in own life lime,
translated into several languages. It was, however,
scarcely known to the learned arid polite, and bad
been, during near a century, the dellgiil of.pious
cottagers nnd artisans, before it was commended by
any man nfblgb lilßrarv r erninenco.
At length critics condescended In inquire ‘where
the secret of so wifie nnd so durable a popularity lay.
They were compelled lo own that the ignorant mul*
litude bad judged more correctly than the learned,
a|ul that the despised little book wna really a master
piece, Banyan is indeed as decidedly the brat of
allogorists, ns Domonstlicncs is the first of orators,
or. Shakespeare the first of dramatists. Other alio*
gorists have shown equal ingenuity; hut no other
ullegorisis have over been able to touch 1 lie-heart nnd
to make abstractions objects pity, and of
