The Dying Child. *• There is a world above, Where parting is unknown— A long eternity of love, Formed for the good alone !’’ With grief’.oppressed, a mother stands beside the sufferer’s bed ; Her pale and sunken cheeks foretell thnt.hope hath nearly fled : Yet do not call her wretched—for in accents low 1 and clear, Such sweet consoling words as these fell gently on her ear: “ I’ll not be with you long, mother— I soon must say good-bye; But, mother, we shall meet again In God’s bright home on high. Oh, mother,don’t von know you said Sweet brother’s living there — And that he is an angel now, So beautiful and fair ! “ He will know me, when I come, mother, He will take me by the hand; And we’ll always be together there, In yonder peaceful land : And, mother, I shall wear bright wing-» I’ll be an angel too ! And then before God’s golden throne, I’ll kneel and pray for you. “ 1 like to feel your hand, mother, So soft upon my brow ; 1 always loved its gentle touch - ’Tis dearer to me now. Oh, mother, do not weep for nir I’m not afraid to die; Your Up is trembling, and I see The tears arc in vour'eve. Lean closer down—\our ear, mother— My voice is growing weak': You are weeping yet —I felt a tear .lust fall upon my cheek. My eyes grow dim —and, oh ! I hear Sweet music from the sky ; It is for me —I’m going now — Mother—.good-bye—good-bve !" like the last soft beam of light, that fades at close of day, That gentle spirit took its flight, and passed from earth awav: But now in shining v'esture Hail, with radiant lace he stands. Blending ltis songs of love and praise with bright robed angel hands. Stanzas. BV J. G. PERCIVAI. Once I saw in pride of beauty. Full unveil’d, a golden flower : Sweetest perfume flowed around it It was evening’s winning hour. I approached the splendid blossom. Kissed its bosom softly swelling ; But no odors breathed around it, Tho’ it seemed their chosen dwelling By this bolssom bloomed unseen, Low in shade, a milder flower— Pale its cheek and wet its eves, Bathed in evening’s dewy shower O’er the lonely flower I hung; Thence the sweets that filled the air To that gentle flower I hung— Pale, yet seemed it more than fair. Jtliscellcmcons. A. Good Daughter. A good daughter! There are other ministers ot lave more conspicuous than her. but none in which a gentler, lovelier spirit dwells and none to which the heart's warm requitals more joyfully respond. There is no such thing as a comparative estimate of a parent’s love for one or another child. There is little which he needs to covet, 16 whom the trea sure of a good child has been given. But a son’s occupations and pleasures carry him abroad, and he resides more among temptations, which hardly permit affection that is following him, perhaps, over half the globe, to be nnmingled with anxiety, until the time When he comes to relinquish the shelter of.his father's roof for one of his own; while a good daughter is th*- steady light of her parent's house. Her ideal is indissolubly connected with that of his happy fireside. She is his morning sunlight and evening star. The grace, vivacity and tender ness of her sex, have their place in the mighty sway which she holds over his spirit. The lessons of recorded wisdom which he reads w’ith! her eyes, come to his mind wi‘h a new charm, as blended with the beloved melody of her voice. He scarcely knows weariness which her song does not make him forget, or gloom which is proof against the young brightness of her smile. She is the ’pride and ornament of his hospitality, the gentle nurse of his sickness, and the constant agent in those nameless, numberless arts of kindness which one chiefly cares to have rendered because they are un pretending, but evpressive proofs of love. And then what a cheerful sharer she is. and what an able lightener of her mother's cares! 'NVliat an ever present delight-and triumph to a mother's af fection. . Ah! how little do these daughters know of the power which God has committed to them, and the happiness God would have them enjoy, who do not, every time a parent's eye rests upon them, bring rapture to a parent's heart. Ati ue love will almost certainly always greet their approaching footsteps that they cannot alienate. But their ambition should be, not to. have it a love merely which feel ings implanted by nature excite, but one made in tense and overflowing by approbation or worthy conduct; and she is strangely blind to her own happiness, as well as undutiful to them to whom she owes most, in whom the perpetual appeals of paternal disinterestedness do not call iortli the prompt and full echo of filial devotion. The ITpright Business Man. There is no being in the world for whom I feel a higher moral respect and admiration than for the upright man of business. No,mot for the philan thropist, the missionary, the martyr. I feel that 1 could more easily be a martyr than a man of that lofty moral, uprightness. And let me say. yet more distinctly, that it is not for the generous man that I. feel this kind of respect. Generosity seems to me a low quality, u mere impulse, compared with the lofty quality I speak of. It is not for the man who distributes extensive charities, who bestows magni ficent donations. That may all be very well. I speak not to disparage it. I wish there were more of it; and yet it may all consist with a want of the true lofty*, unbending uprightness. That is-not the man, then, of whom I speak; but it is he who stands amidst all the interests and perilous exigen cies of trade, firm, calm, disinterested, and upright. It is the man who can see another man's distress as well as his own. It is the man whose mind his own advantages does not blind nor cloud for an in stant—who could sit a judge upon a question be tween himself and his neighbor just as safely as the purest magistrate upon the bench of justice. Ah ! how much richer than ermine—how far nobler than the train of magisterial authority—how more aw-, ful than the guarded pomp of majesty', is that-sim ple, magnanimous and majestic tnith! TD“ We must look for happiness in the world, not in the things of the world; but within our selves, in our .tempera, and in our hearts. Sketch of Louis Philippe, Louis Philippe was born October 6th, 1773 l and l is a descendant, by a younger stock, lropi Louis j Thirteenth; The family, being of the blood royal, have always stood next the throne, and been pos ' sessed of princely revenues. The father of Philippa took an active part in favor of French Republicanism, in the early stages of the first Revolution. Particular circumstances, unconnected with prmciples,made him the personal enemy of Louis Sixteenth. He was was an active ami popular member of the several Assemblies, which governed France* from 17S9tol793—re nounced the title of Duke of Orleans, and assumed that of Philippe Engalite, (equality.) In the National Convention, he voted for the deposition and execution of the King. He sought to conciliate Robespierre and his associates, by a renunciation of all claim to the throne. He was rich and popular, two qualifications which rendered him obnoxious to the Jacobins. They wanted his money, and dreaded his influence. He suffered un der the guillotine, in November, 1793, by virtue of a sentence of an instrument of Robespierre's ven geance, called a revolutionary tribunal. His son Louis Philippe was then twenty years old. (now 74.) He escaped the fate of his: father bv flight, and became a wanderer and an exile from 1793 to 181-1, in various parts of Europe and in the United States. His patrimonial estates were all confiscated to enrich of his family. In his wanderings he visited Switzerlandj Norwav. Denmark, Lapland, and the North Cape: beyond the Artie circle, concealing his rank, and travelling under a feigned name; sometimes.alone and on foot, and at others employing himself as a scool master for subsistence. After these wander ings in Europe, he arrived in Philadelphia in Octo ber. 1790. visited most of the States from Virginia northward, descended the Mississippi to New Or leans in the winter of 1798, and in February j IbUU, arrived in London from New York. From that period he resided principally at Twickenham, in England, until the restoration of the Bourbons.— At their restoration, he returned to France and ob tained his patrimonial estates. Not adopting fully the arbitrary principles of the elder branch of the dynasty, he lived most of the time from ISM to 1830. in retirement at his country seat at Neuilly. In the revolution of July. 1830, eighty-nine per sons who had beemchosen to the Chamber of Dep uties, and whose election Charles Tenth had an nulled. assembled at Paris and appointed Louis Philippe Lieutenant -General of the Kingdom. On the 3d of August, he opened the session of Chambers in that capacity, the Chamber of Deputies then consisting of the eighty-nine persons who had made him Lieut. General, and a number of their associates, and the House of Peers consisting of those who Itfid fyeen created by the Bourbons. In his address, Louis PhiUippe communicated to the members of Parliament the abdication of Charles and his son. and recommended them to fill the vacancy, which was accordingly done by the choice of Louis Philippe, under what was at that time considered a liberal charter. On the 9th, he ac cepted and took the Coronation oath. Lafayette, be lieving that a limited, constitutional monarchy was the Government best suited to the condition of France, and that Louis Philippe would administer the Government on correct principles, assisted in his elevation. Rut so Intoxicating is power, that in the course of live years, next succeeding the elevation of the patriotic King, he had become to resemble his des potic predecessors, and entirely disappointed the liberals who raised him to power. On the 2Sth of July, I STJo, the 50th Anniversary of the Revolution, us the King in great pomp was passing opposite the Boulevards of the Temple, an explosion took place which killed and wounded thirty-live of the train, sixteen of whom died instantly. A ball grazed the King's arm, and a second's delay; in the discharge saved the King's life. This instrument of destruction was made in a. small room! about seven feet square, and was built of wood, braced with iron. It was well called an “Infernal Ma chine." Twenty-live gun barrels fully charged and connected by a train of powder were fixed on this machine, with the fronts slighly depressed, so that the balls might reach any one passing in the street on horseback. The guns were so heavily charged, that five of them burst, severely wounding the as sassin. But tliia dreadful warning did not deter the King Irom his course, which he has since gteadily pursued, of consolidating the power in his own family, and of establishing a strong and arbitrary Government.. At various times isolated outbreaks have taken place, such as that at the city of Tou louse, which, though speedily suppressed, evinced the hidden fire beneath, which has at length burst forth with awful fury, driving the .Royal family before if, and consuming the empty throne to ashes. What will next follow, none -can yet do more than conjecture. Confidence in tlie People. j When the Revolutionists who won the Republic ; for France had forced their way into the Palais ; Royal and had reach'd the apartments of General i Athalin, on«- of Louis Philippe’s aid-de-camps, they encountered tin; General’s lady, a woman of digni fied deportment and stature, whom the general had ! espoused for her rare beauty, being but the daugh- I ter of a poor fisherman of Granville. “My friends,” she exclaimed, “I trust you have not come [here to offer any injury to myself or my husband. lam not one of your fine ladies, but a daughter of the people; I throw' myself then confidently on your protection. But I will not leave my husband; he is confined to his bed by illness.” The band were • struck with the-boldness of the appeal, 'fjhey re.- : paired to the General's chamber, placed him in an ! arm-chair, and. headed by this daughter of peo i pie. they conveyed him to a friend’s house in the • neighborhood. On reaching his destination the General recollected leaving a sum of 130,0C0f. j (£.V200) in notes and gold in his desk. He hand ied the key of the desk to a working-, man in a i blou*o, whom he did not know. An hour after the | man returned with every sou of the money!. This J is by by no means a solitary instance ol the disin terestedness and nobility of mind displayed by the people during these most glorious three days. Tiie Potentates and the Peasant. When the alii'd army-were in possession of Paris, ■ it was no unusual thing for the emperors of Russia j and Austria, and the King of Prussia, to w-alk out Tv<«og. In one of these rambles they were accosted by a countryman of rather superior address, who asked them to point out the way to the Ttiilleries. ! to which the reply was. “ that they were going that ; way. and should be glad of his company.;' • 'The : familiar tone of conversation of the Emperor Al , c.vander soon brought out the stranger to converse, 1 who. alter >orne time, ask-d to whom he had the J pleasure of talking ! and the answer was,: •• Jam ' the Emperor of Russia!" This seemed to stagger his belief, he asked another, "And pray who are you, sir?” -1 am the Emperor of Austria!”— j Another, “And you, sir ?" “I am the King of j Prussia!" This seeming the climax of absurdity, ,he burst out into a loud laugh,and was going awav. ' when the Emperor of Russia begged he would tell j him who he was. “Oh,” said he, “ I am the Em j perov of China!" and then walked quietly away, i evidently under the impression that he was •• not jto be done." « ! Tut late Mn. Astor. —The Home Journal says “The management of'the funeral was left with James C. Dugan, of *U4 Broadway. The inside coffin was of lead, lined throughout with white satin. This was enclosed in a coffin of mahogany, the top of which was covered with black silk vel vet, bordered with silver lace one and a quarter inch wide, from which depended a heavy silver bul lion fringe two and a quarter inches deep. The top of the coffin was fastened down with silver headed screws one inch apart, and around the sides at the bottom was also a row of silver-headed screws the same distance apart. A glass; .pannel over the face allowed a full view of the features; and around this opening was a border elf silver lace. On the coffin was a plain silver plate, bearing the following iiicription :. * ‘ ; JOHN’ JACOB ASTOR: Died March 29, 1848, AOED 84 TEARS, 8 NORTHS, 12 DATS. Over the whole was thrown.a magnificent; pall of black silk velvet, ornamented with exquisite need le work and bulliion fringe/* Home Affections. .The heart has memories that cannot die. The rough rubs of the world cannot obliterate them.— They are memories of home, early home. There is magic in the very sound. There is the old tree under which the light hearted boy swung iu many a summer day; yonder the river in which he learn ed to swim: there the house iu which he knew a parent s love, and found ; a parent's now there is the room in which he romped with brother or with sister, long since, alas! and in the yard in which lie must soon be gathered, over shadowed by yon old church, whither with u joy ous troop like himself- he has ofteu followed his parents to worship with, and to honor the good old man who gave him to God in baptism. Why even the very school house associated in youthful days, with thoughts of ferule and tasks, uow comes back to bring pleasant remembrances of many auattach ment there formed, many an occasion that called forth some generous exhibition of the traits of hu ‘man nature. There he learned to tellsome of his best emotions. There, perchance, he first met the being, who by her love and tenderness in after life has made a home for himself, happier even than that which childhood knew. There are certatn feelings of humanity, and those roo among the best, that caii find,an appropriate place lor their exercise only by one's own fireside. There is a sacredness in the privacy of that spot which it were a species of dese cration to violate! He who seeks wantonly to in vade it. is neither more or less than a villain: and hence there exists no surer test of the debasement of morals in a community, than the disposition tu tolerate in any nioddthe man who disregards the sanctities of private life. In.the turmoil of the world, let there be at least one spot where the poor man may find affection that is disinterested, where he may indulge a confidence that is not likely to be abused. The Motlier. 1 Scarcely a (lay passes that we do not hear of the loveliness of woman; the affection of a sister, or the devotedness of a wife; and it is Ihe remem brance of fuch things that cheers and comforts the dreariest hour of life; yet a mothers love far ex ceeds them in strength. in disiiiteredness, and in purity. The child of her bosom may have forsa* ken her and left her; he may have disregarded all her instructions and warnings, he may have be come an outcast from society, and none may care for or notice him—yet his mother changes not, nor is her love weakened, and for him her .prayers will ascend ! Sickness may weary other friends— . misfortune drive away familiar acquaintances,,and poverty leave nope to lean upon: yet they affect not a mother's love, but only call into exercise iu a still greater degree her tenderness and affection. The mother has duties to perform which are weighty and responsMg* ; the lisping infant must be taught how to live—the thoughtless child must be instructed in wisdom s ways—the tempted youth be advised and warned—the dangers and difficulties of life must be pointed out, and lessons of virtue must be impressed on the mind. Her words, acts, faults, frailties and temper, are all noticed by those that surround her ; and.impressions in the nursery exert a more powerful influence in forming the character, than do any after instruction. All pas sions are unrestrained—if truth is not adhered to ' —if consistency is not seen—it'there be want ol affection or a murmuring at the dispensations of Providence; the youthful mind will receive the irn pression, and subsequent life will developeit; but if all is purity, sincerity, truth, contentment and love, then will the result be a blessing, and many will rejoice in the example and influence of the pious Mother. The True LUe, The mere lapse of years is not life. To eat and drink and sleep; to be exposed to darkness and the light; to pace round in the mill of habit; and turn the wheel of wealth ; to make reason our book keeper, and turn thought into an implement of trade—this is not life. In all this but-a poor frac tion oi the consciousness of humanity is awaken ed: and the sanctities still slumber which make it most worth while to be. Knowledge, truth, love, beauty, goodness, faith, alone can give vitality to the mechanism of existence; the laugh of mirth which vibrates through the heart, the tears that freshen the dry wastes within, the music that brings childhood back, the prayer that calls the fu ture near, the doubt which makes us meditate, the death that startles ns with mystery, the hardship that forces us to struggle, the anxiety that ends in trust —are the true nourishment of our uatural ' being. Art of Making Men Happy. There is an art of making men happy which very few understand. It is not always by putting the hand in the pocket that we remove affliction; there must, be something more. Then* must be advice, and labor, and activity; we must bestir our selves. leave our arm chairs, throw off'our slippers, and go abroad, if we would effectually serve our fellow-creatures. Whcnjio this active and effectual benevolence the more prompt etlicaey of money is added, how great and how lasting may not the good be! .Few. however, possess this quality of philan thropy; for it costs less to give a guinea than to give an hour. Punch in Naples. —The theatres in Italy re sound only with patriotic hymns and cries of en thusiasm. At Naples, in the little theatre of San Carlino. a curious incident took place. All the ac tors having appeared With Italian colors, the au dience observed with surprise that Punch had no cockade. Immediately violent shouts came from every corner .of the hall: “The cockade, Punch, the cockade!” cried the pit. The costume of the Neapolitan Punch resembles that ol a clown. He wears loose trowsers. a shirt with full sleeves, and a grey high-pointed hat. The actor who represen ted his character, advanced to the front of-the stage, took off his mask, and saluting the audience, said : "ll it is to me, John Casiti, that your'appeals are addressed, I will tell you, gentlemen, that the national cockade is on my heart, (and opening his vest, he displayed an enormous tri-colored cockade.) but I thought it a profanation to put it on the jacket of Punch. 1 At these words, pronounced with a firm voice and incredible sincerity and frankness, frantic applauses sounded, throughout the hall, and tears of (‘motion lei! over more than one cheek. It is the first time Punch’evcr made his audience weep. Love and Admiration.— lt is a»glorious thing —and those who truly love know well how glori ous it is—after moments of misunderstanding, even of reciprocal transgression, to rest again, heart to heart, and to feel, deeply ieel, that there is a cer tainty in the world, in spite of all the , powers, of hell, a certainty, which is heaven upon earth—that they love each other, that they belong to each other, that nothing, nothing in the world, shall separate them, who have found each other again in true, in perfect love. 0! this is a certainty,the most-beau tified that there is on earth—a .certainty which is the foundation and security for every other. He felt it truly, the man, who, when about to leave the stage ot life, laid his hands upon his heart and said—“l love, therefore, lam immortal!” D ~T Ehe race of Mankind would perish did they cease to aid each other. From the time that the mother binds the child's head till the moment that some kind assistant wipes the death-damp from the brow of the dying, we cannot exist without mutual help. All, therefore, that need aid have alright to ask it of their fellow mortals; no one who holds the power of granting can refuse it without guilt*— Sir W. Scott. ' Inscription for a Gaubiin? House.
