A FAMILY NEWSPAPER,
I Must Not Tease My Mother
I must not tease my mother,
For she is very kind,
And every thing she says to me
I must directly mind;
For when I was a baby,
And could not ~ p eak nor walk,
1.-he let me in her bosom sleep,
And taught me how to talk.
I must not tease'iny mother,
And when she likes to read,
Or has the headache, I will step
Most silently, indeed,
I will not choose a noisy play,
Nor trilling troubles tell,
But sit down quiet by her side,
And try to make her well.
Soinething ever cloth oppress us
With a sense of right or wrong
Something waiteth still to bless us,
As we journey life along;
Something viewless whispers to us,
Words of hope and promise sure;
Voices speak prophetiC through us,
Of a life that Mhall endure !

I roust not lease my mother,
I heard dear father say,
When I was in my cradle 6ielt,
She nursed me night and day,
She lay me in my little bed,
She gives me clothes and food,
And I haye nothing else to pay
But trying to he good.
I must not tease my mother,
She lovei me all the day,
And she has patience with my faults,
And teaches me to pray ;
How much ro try to please her,
She every hour shall see,
For should she go•away or die,
What would become of me 1

And inspire our firm belief—

Trust the God that reigns above us,
Faithful to his precepts be,
He will guide, and guard, and, love us,
Through a blessed eternity.

troductions to whatever ladies he chose,—
arid that evening, among others, he pointed
out Miss Hull. The young lady curtsied
and dropped her eyes—the gentlemen bow
ed and fixed his upon the golden ringlets.
Miss Cornelia, congratulating herself on
having made a desirable acquaintance, ex
hibited her conversational powers and her
diamond rings to the best advantage . . She
danced with no one but Mr. Armstrong that
evening—she promenaded with no one else
—she had no eyes, nor ears for any one but
'him. Her mother thought it sufficient at
the end of the evening to inquire his name.
Armstrong—it sounded very well—it wasn't
too handsome. If it had been St. Leger, or
Elizalien, or some romantic name that d idn't

she might have asked more questions ; but

very polite to Mr. Armstrong—even Mr.
Richard Hall, jr., a youth in all the stiffness

his neck by condescending no:is. Miss H rli
took long rambles with a cottage-hat and Mr.
Armstrong—received bouquets and borrow
ed books irom him, and altogether was on
quite lamiliar terms with hip. If Mr. and
Mrs. Hall • had been asked who was the
young man with whom their daughter was
so intimate, they would have been puzzled
to tell. Mr. Armstrong talked of, the South
and his father's plantation, but only in a
general way. There were some gentlemen,
however, with whoM Cornelia danced arid
flirted who 'had not the honor of her moth
er's acquaintance,' and Mr. Armstrong was
I very attentilve, to the old lady.
Time goes as last at Saratoga as anywhere
else, and money a little- faster, Mr. Hall
thought. Alter Miss Cornelia had *chased
the glowing hours with flying feet' for three
weeks, her lather came to the conclusion
that it was only at home she could really
catch them. She coaxed and pointed, but
all to no avail, so she told her beaux that
they were going home to prepare lor a trip
to Niagara. She bade farewell to Mr. Arm

to call upon her in New York, gave him her

began tf) talk to Mr. Armstrong in a curious
sort of quizzing way, with a mocking smile
on his lips. Cornelia could not understand

and only saw that they made Mr. A. very
uncomfortable. She made an excuse to
leave the room. nnd ran tb her mother with,
-Ma, l wish you'd call Henry out of the par

departure.

reproach. l'his was 1. 1 .10 oedit,iorl she ex

Raising her hand suddenly she took out
her comb , - and giving one wild toss of her
head, her beautiful' hair, as black as a ra

face and shoulders. Throwing her comb

Uttering scream after scream, and throw

speed, towards the creek that flawed at the

Poor McGrath was utterly thunderstruck.
His Wife's conduct was so alarming; rind so
totally unexpected, that he was • for • some

that she had gained, before he recovered

yards the start in her mud flight. He fol
lowed her at the top of his speed and to
bring up in about two minutes, from his im
mense size, was the work of just that length
of time. In his almost breathless condition
he called on her to stop, and urged the ne•
grues, who were in the secret, to pursue her.
' 'Oh, my Goel ! My dear Jatie ! for God's
