PIETY Though sweeping tempests wildly howl, And bursting clouds with thunder roar; Though Heav’ns fair face with anger scowl, And liquid fire in torrents pour ; Yet ’midst the scene, so awful drear, The pious man may walk, nor fear. For. well he knows the tempest’s wing Is under God’s all just command ; And e’en.the drop that drowns the aijt, Is guided by his saving hand— The thunder’s roar brings not despair, Nor lightning’s fire, for God is there.. Bjßrtie whose mind is sore with sin, Doth quickly fly to cow’r in dread, Whilst the pursuing voice within Cries “wretch conceal thy guilty head And ev’ry clap bids him despair, And ev’ry flash —for God is there 1 And when the ills of life approach, He hopeless sinks beneath the load ; But if the pious man’s oppress’d, He flies for solace to his God : Father of all, I ask n 9 more, Than still to fear thee and adore. FORGIVENESS “ How beautifully falls From human lips that blessed word Forgive ; Forgiveness—’tis the attribute of God— The sound which openoth heaven; renews again Hopo’s halcyon halo o’er the waste of life. Thrice happy he whose heart has been so schooled In the meek lesson of humanity, That lie can give it utterance ; it imparts Celestial grandeur to the human soul, And maketh man an angel.” JftisceUaneous. A Thought for Winter. A bountiful harvest lias filled our barns with grain, and Autumn has shed its rich fruits upim us in profusion. All the productions of the earth, which this season has so plentifully repaid the la bors ol the husbandman, are gathered and garnered. Already stern winter is upon us with his-frost, snow and biting winds, and while we sit by the blazing hearth listening to the storm, or wrapped in wool and fur, dare the cold without, let us remember there are those about us, upon whose unprotected bodies that storm and cold fall in all their violence. Let him who rises from the table where his inner man has been comforted, think of the many who are at that moment suffering from the gnawings of hunger. These are the thoughts which must enter the minds of every one, in whom is a spark of humanity. But let not the thought pass unheeded, or turn into a selfish congratulation ol your fortune. Look about among your neighbors on whom the blessings of Providence have not been bestowed with so liberal a hand. See if there is not some one whom you can bless, by the*bounty it is in your power to dis tribute. Is there no family, whose supporter has been prevented by the hand of disease from provi ding against the approach of winter; where you can shed gladness by a few bushels of potatoes or a bag of grain, that will never be missed from your full barns? A load of wood or coal, a joint of meat when your fatted ox is killed may give comfort and support to some neighbor and make you no poorer. There are innumerable little, charities each of us may dispense. Give then, and with no niggard hand. God has not given us abundance to waste in extravagance, or hoard in avarice; but that we may mete out kindness toothers as he has to us. But give not in an arrogant spirit that makes the recipient feel his dependence. Give as friend gives to a friend, and the sense of your kindness will come with double force. Many refuse charity when ten dered in an improper .manner, while they are in woful want; for there is a feeling of pride in every man’s bosom which revolts at the assumption of superiority. Give then in thankfulness, that you are able to give. Therfe is much good in small things, and the loaf of bread you give to the starving man may save him from the gallows. And it is your duty to relieve the suffering. The time may come when yourself will need the charities ol the more fortunate. Besides there is a pleasure in being able to give to the poor, an inward consciousness of right that warms the heart and cherishes the better feelings of our nature. The smallest act of charity comes back upon the giver and makes his spirit lighter. It is the true nature of man to be benev olent. “ The poorest poor Long for some moments in a weary life, When they can know and feel that they have been, Themselves, the fathers and the dealers-out Of some small blessings; have been kind to such, As needed kindness,,for the single cause, That we have all of us one human heart.*’ Domestic Life. No man ever prospered in the world without the consent and co-operation of his wife. If she unites in mutual endeavors, or rewards his labor with an endearing smile, with what spirit and perseverance does he apply to his vocation; with what confidence does he iesort to his merchandise or farm; ily over land; sail upon the seas; meet difficulty and en counter danger—if he knows that he is not spend ing his strength in vain, but that his'labor will be rewarded by the sweets of home! How delightful it is to have a friend to cheer, and a companion to soothe, the solitary hours of grief and pain! Sol itude and disappointment enter into the history of every man’s life; and he is but half provided lor his voyage who finds but an associate for happy hours , while for his months of darkness and distress, no sympathizing partner is prepared!

During the rapid sojourn that he made in Bel. gium, in 1810, Napoleon, according to his habit, went one morning, very plainly dressed, to walk in the garden of Lacken Palace, accompanied by an aid-de-camp, where he met ir young man who was occupied in arranging some flowers. He was pleased with the frank and prepossessing features ot the young botanist, and began a conversation with him. The young man, who was the son of tiie head-gardener—had studied with great care and economy the history of the vegetable world— he could name without hesitation, the foreign and complicated names that the over-learned have given, often in so ridiculous a manner, to the most graceful productions of nature. He spoke of the Sedosanthe, the Aristoloche, the Ralioa, the Scer oxilon, the Hydrochardee, and thousands of plants with difficult names,.as another would have talked ' of spinach and parsley. He knew the nature and property of each plant—in short, it was botany personified, in a young man ol twenty-two. ‘•Are you comfortable in your situation here?" says the Emperor, speaking with interest. “Yes> sir,'’ replied the young artist, who was iar from supposing the rank oi the person who interrogated him. - I live in the midst of what I love, but lam only an assistant to the head gardener." Napoleon never disapproved of ambitious ideas.-’ He had re marked in the young florist his profound study, and the interest he look in his proiession. “ What would you like'*" says he. “Oh," ■said the young Belgian, “what 1 would like is madness.’’ “But still let me know," says the t Emperor. “It would require a fairy to realise the dream that has often occupied niy mind.'' ’1 am not a fairy.’* replied Napoleon, smiling in his turn, “but I ath about the person of the Emperor, and he could, if he knew them, realize your wishes." “You are.too good, sir," said the young man. “It is certain that the Emperor could be the fairy that I wish lor, for it all depends on him. During a journey that I made for my instruction, I saw in France the gar dens of Malmaison, with its eleven bridges and Turkish Kiosks, The Emperor, I understand, has given this charming place to Josephine—if a fairy were hero, I would ask for nothing more than to be head gardener to Josephine. You see how modest I am.” “ I will think of it," says the Em peror, almost betraying his incognito, “ but do not despair of fairy love:" and after some versation with the young botanist, Napoleon with drew. He left Brussels on the morrow, o During the two months that followed this con versation, the young gardener could scarcely think of anything but the wand of a fairy and the place of head gardener, when one day he received a sealed packet with the arms of the Empress Josephine upon it: it contained his nomination to the post he had so much wished for. He hastened to the spot, and was very soon introduced to the fairy of Lac ken that man who forgot nothing , and in whom he only recognized the Emperor, to express to him almost a species of adoration. He still occupied the post of first botanist at Malmaison, when the Empress Josephine died.— L' impartial. Young Chanuing. Thanks to my stars, I can say 1 have never killed a bird. I would not crush the meanest in. sect which crawls upon the ground .'They have the same right to live that I have, they received it from the same lather; and I will not mar the works of God by wanton cruelty. I can remember an incident in my childhood which has given a turn' to my whole life and char acter. \ found a nest of birds in my father's liehh which held four young ones. They had no down when 1 first discovered them. They opened their little mouths as if they were hungry, and I gave them some crumbs which were in my pocket. Every day ] returned to feed them. As soon as school was done. I would run home for some bread, and sit by the nest to see them eat, lor an half hour at a time. They were now feathered, and almost ready to lly. When 1 came one morning, I found them all cut up into quarters. The grass around the nest was red with blood. Their little limbs were raw and bloqdy. The mother was on a tree, ami the father on a wall, mourning for their young. I ciied myself, Tor J was a child. 1 thought too, that the parents looked on me as the author of their miseries, anil this made me still more unhappy. I wanted to undeceive them. 1 wanted to sympa thize with and comfort them. When I left the ield, they lbllowed me with (heir eyes and mourn ul reproaches. 1 was too young and too sincere in my grief to make any apologies. But never forget my feelings. The impression will never be worn away, nor can I ever cease to abhor every species of inhumanity towards inferior animals. [Dr. Chanuivg. Fatality of Ancient Author*. Anacreon, the lyric poet, was choked to death, by the fruit of the vine. Archilorus was murdered by a banditti. CVero perished under the proscrip tion of the triumvirate. (Tatinus, a comic writer, was drowned. Demosthenes, the glory of his age anil of the world, killed himself with poison, which he always carried about him in a quill. Euripi des, the tragic poet, and Heraclitus, the philosopher were lorn to pieces by dogs. .Empedocles, the poet and philosopher, was lost in the crater of Mount it’tna. Hesiod, the ' cotemporary of Homer, was murdered by his secret and inveterate enemies.— Julius Ceasar Jell by the sword of conspirators. Longinus was sacrificed to the fury of the Roman soldiers. Lucretius, writing under the delirium of a philosopher, destroyed himself through its effects. Orpheus, who touched the lyre with such hallowed hands, that made the rivers cease to flow, the beasts of the forest to forget their savage nature, and the mountains to listen to his song, was torn in pieces by some Thracian women. Pliny, the elder, was suffocated by the sutphuVous vapor of Mount Ve suvius. Sappho, in a lit of disappointed love, threw herself from a precipice. Seneca and Lucan, both condemned to death by the tyrant Nero, opened their veins and expired repeating their own verses. Socrates, with stoical iortitndc met his death in a cup of hemlock. Tacitus is supposed to have died by the dagger of an assassin, and Theocritus, ad mired for the elegance and simplicity of his poetry, was strangled. Every One for Himself, As the passengers of a stage were about to dine at the Stage House, one of the guests took up the pepperbox’from a castor, and nicely sifted it over a fine piece of roasted tyeef. A French gentleman observing it, deliberately took his snuff box from his pocket, and besprinkled its contents likewise over the same piece of -beef. “ Sir,*’ said the first party, “what do you mean? 1 ' “Why, sar, I sup pose sar, you love de pepper, I love de snuff” The table were thrown into a roar, and willingly, con sented to commute their roasted beef, for the amuse^ meat the manner of its loss occasioned. Tbe Eleventh Commandment. Some years since a clergyman being on a journey stopped one Saturday night at a village, with a view of spending the Sabbath with the minister, who invited him to preach. The stranger requested, as preparatory to his discourse, an' account of the state of his society, and was informed that it was divided in sentiment, that jealousy, discord aud ha tred prevailed, and that many were displeased with the minister, who had in vain used every effort to bring them to a sense .of their duty. He then retired to his study, aud nothing further was said till oh their way to church, when the stranger was asked from what text he intended to preach—“l think,” said he, “I shall preach from the eleventh commandment.” “The eleventh com mandment !" replied the other in surprise, “ there are but ten." “ I rather think," returned the stranger, “ 1 shall preach from the Eleventh.'' This reply, and his persisting in it, almost deter mined the other to request his silence; he concluded however, to let him proceed. He began his exer cises with that ardor and zeal which clearly proved him*to be a man of sound judgment, and "deep pen etration of thought. His prayer was appropriate, solemn and impressive, and the mystery was un veiled when he pronounced the following text: — u JI neiv commandment I give unto you , that'.'ye love one another." He urged the necessity of brotherly love and Christian meekness, with much fervency and zeal, so clearly pointed out their beneficial in fluence on society, and so forcibly contrasted these virtues and their effects, that he fully convinced them of their errors, and restored them to harmony and friendship. General Washington. The following note was found among the papers of Lord Erskine, and shews how highly he estima ted the character of our illustrious Countryman. The strong expression of such a man as Erskine; a man who was familiar with polished life, and in timate with the highest dignities of the age, that Washington was the “only human being for whom he ever felt an awful reverence proves how deeply sensible he was, of his great superiority over every other man, in character, talents and moral worth. What a gratifying compliment to an American, when he reflects that this great and ven erable man, to whose memory the civilized world pays the voluntary homage of its profound respect, but a few- years before that remark was made, was branded by the British government with the name of rebel, and a price set upon his illustrious head! “2b General Washington: “ Srn—l have taken the liberty to introduce your august and immortal name, in a short sentence, which is to be found in the book I sent yon. “I have a large acquaintance amongst the most valuable and exalted classes of men, bnt you are the only human being, for whom 1 ever felt an awful reverence. “ I sincerely pray God to grant a long evening, to a life so gloriously devoted to the uni ; vcrsal happiness of the world. “London, March 10th, 1797, lie iia
