of **parents and a large number of sons
and daughters, all united together by those
goldpq
lies, which none but a parent, a
brother,* sister or a daughter can feel.—
The thing revile:a to ensure happiness—

titeir hearts the seat of ardent love for one
attothe4 and of generoue; noble friendship
fer others. There seemed nothing want
ing its perfect this little community. Their
pecuniary circumstances were such that
they could indulge freely in the luxury of
administering -happiness and comfort to
the povertretricken and miserable. The
naked were clothed and the hungry fed ;
not with that ostentation which exacts the
admiration of a gazing world, but with
that kindness and self-satisfaction which is
the eharacteristio of a noble soul. Their
acts of generosity were performed for the
satiGetion of doing good. And when they
had alleviated the distress of one who was
'timers erushed by the heavy hand of pov
. erty, - they experienced that jubilee within
the heart which none but the truly gener
ous can feel.
Their intercourse with one another was
also of the happiest kind. It was the de
sire of each member of the family to con
tribute to the happiness of all the others
in preference to 'their own. Sisterly,
brotherly and parental affection filled their
bosoms to overflowing.
But this little paradise was not long to.

man impelled him to assist hie friends by
the way of endorsements, and their fail-
uressweptaway every farthing of his early
riches. The depriving him of hie noble
faro, lovely cottage, and the beautiful ver
lure and lofty trees that surrounded it,
was the ill reward 01 his disinterested
friendship. And to be compelled to give
up all these—to surrender those majestic
trees under whose shade he had passed so
many .pleasant hours with his excellent
family : and under whose protection, as it
were. his children had been reared, was a
hardship which the philosophy of few
eould endure. Little circumstances in the
history °ibis children had endeared every
tree, and indeed every shrub, to his heart.
But they must all be abandoned, and this
happy community, linked together by the
strongest ties of the human heart, must be
torn minder and scattered to the four winds
of heaven.

IVITSTERY, REASON AND FAITH.—The
following Motivation occurs in a little es.
say, written by Rev. Mr. Peabody, of
Boston :
Night comes down over a ship at sea,
and a passenger lingers hour after hour
alone on the deck, The waters plunge
and welter, and glide away beneath the
keel. Above, the sails tower up in the
darkness, almost to the sky, and their
shadow falls as it were a burden on the
deck below. In the clouded night no star
is to be seen, and as the ship changes her
course the passenger knows not which
way is east or west, or north or south.—
What island, what sunken rocks may be in
her course—or what that course is, or where
they are, he knows not. All around, to
him, is mystery. Ile bows down in the
submission of utter ignorance.
But men of science have read the laws
of the sky. And the next day this passen
ger beholds the captain looking at a. clock
and taking note of the place of the sun,
and with the aid of a couple of books com
posed of rules and mathematical tables,
making calculations. And whon he has
completed them, he is able to point almost
within a hand's breadth to the place at
which, after unnumbered windings, she
has arrived in the midst of the seas.—
Storms may have beat and currents drift
ed, but he knows where they are, and the
precise point where, a hundred leagues
over the water, lies his• native shore.—
Here is reason appreciating and making
use of the revelations, if we may so call
them, of science. - .
Night again site down over the waste of
waves, and the passenger beholds a single
seamen stand at the wheel, and watch
hour after hour. as it vibrates beneath a
lamp, a little needle, which points ever,
as if it were a living finger, to the steady
pole.
This man knows nothing of the rules of
navigation, nothing of the . courses of the
sky. ' But reason and experience have
given him faith in the commanding officer
of the ship—faith in the laws that control
her course—faith in the unerring integrity
of the little guide before him. And so
without a single doubt he steershis , ship,
on, according to a presCribed direction,
through night and ,the waver. And that
faith is not disappointed, Wlththe morn
ing sun, he beholds faraway, the summits
of the gray and misty highlandi, rising
like a cloud' on the horizon; and as he
nears them, the hills appear; awl the
light-hozse at the entrance of the harbor,

how her hide heart may have mourned at

a place on earth, we know not; but we
cannot but think, that any such emotions
were lost in the infinitude of splendor and
magnificence that must have dazzled her
eyes, as the everlasting gates of heaven
were lifted up, and she found herself a
cherub, with a golden barp in her hand,
and bowing before the Creator of all
things !
While on earth, she had exhibited lino
sual intelligence for so young a child; and
her very face had an expression far be
yond her years. But now her thoughtful
eyes are glazed in death, her rosy lips are
pallid, and her round, dimple cheeks, be
reft or bloom, are shadowed by the ring of
the Death-Angel. it is sad, even to the
stranger. to think of so gentle and Eternis
ing a child being so soontlighied; but to
the parent's hearts how terrible the thought!
Vainly would we follow the bent of our
inclination and mingle our tears with the
bereaved ! The fountain of their grief
has been unsealed, and the grave alone
can close it! But how delightful a task
it is. to remind them, that while tears be
dew their cheeks, the face of their sweet
Klima, clothed in seraphic beauty, is irra
diated with the smile of God, as she strikes
the chords of her golden harp, and raises
her lisping accents in unison with that
countless throng, which forever makes
Heaven's arches ring with the praise of
God. Why then weep ! "
A BEATLPUL EXTRACT-LABOR
Why, man of idleness, labor rooked you
in the cradle, and has nourished your pam
pered life; without it the woven silks and
wool upon your back would be in the fold.
For the meanest thing that ministers to hu
man want, save the air of heaven, man , is
indebted to toil;, and even the air, by God's
ordination, is breathed with labor. It , is
only the drones who toil not, who infest
the hive of activity like masses of corrup
tion and decay. The lords of the earth
are the working men, who can build up or
cast down at their will, and who retort the
sneer of the "soft hand," by pointing to
their trophies, wherever art, science, civil
ization and humanity are known. Work
on, man of toil T thy royalty is yet to be
achnowledged as labor rises onward to the
highest throrie of power. Work on, and
in the language of a true poet, be

FRUITS OF WAR.
We noticed lately the session ofa Peace
Congress in. Paris. We see by a letter of
one of the American delegates that Emile
