Sweet in pleasure and sweet in WOO, b *ea in life and in cleat' also, And sweet in recollection. Our mother's voice wee the cradle song That soothed us beyond all other; And sweetly noundeth the mother tongue When the first-born lispeth "Mother!" Our mother•tongue is that in which Our young soul+ first found expression; And the lover knows no other speech To pour out his lull heat's psalms.

SOCIAL TREACHERY, THE BETRAYAL OF PRIVATE CONFIDENCE ..0h! colder !ban the wird dint fr Fonlitg.thri , but n nr in fttsnoilline pinved, Id that congealing pang Winch .rune !rusting Intrioni when be•rayerl." Th•re are tinvs and seasons in the liven of ahnoit every one, when the heart un bosom ilself—if we may use the expres- sion—itixions enninitnieltn its inmost thoughts to sots kithhe,l spirit, and thus to excite sympathy, it not to obtain coun sel. There are few indeed, who have not some confidant of the quiet antisocial hour, some one lo whom every seeret may ho re vealed in a spirit of utter frankness, and with a firm relianee, that such an evidence of friendship and eEteetn will not be vio lated. And thus too in famiiies. Among friends and with near anti dear relatives all the ordinary restraints of conveptionalisin are thrown aside. Every action and motive is revealed, and a perfect reliability is felt., that such revelation will be regarded as sacred. In the multitude of eases it is so. The confidence of social life is rarely be trayed, although there arc some sad ex .eeptions. We can conceive of no enormity more culpable, wore deplorable than a revelation of the trusts of friendship, and of the char licter alluded to. To steal into the confi dence of a fellow being. of a friend or neigh bor, to win upon his feelings, and worn, out his secrets—all under the mask of friend ehip---and then to betray those secrets to the world—nay, to exaggerate and pervert them, is a social delinquiticy and deliberate wickedness, from which all who are truly high-minded and virtuous must shrink with 'horror. It involves the double guilt of treachery and bypocricy. It perverts the holy privilege of friendship to the basest purpose I,nd stabs at the victim, when ho not only ; east suspects, but when he leans and relies upon the base and guilty hand, as that of an adviser and a companion. But, there is another description of so -cial treachery, and which is far more coal ition. We allude to the disposition which prevails so generally, to listen to the frank and unpremeditated remarks of another— remarks made in his own family circle, and thus on privileged (if not hallowed) ground —and then to go forth into society and ro peat them. The repetition, too, is often made in an unkind spirit. The manner is changed or misrepresented, and thus what was meant in jest or playfulness, is converted into a serious matter, and is made the cause of irritation or ill-will. The idle 'tattlers of the hour, who aro ever ou the! watch for some hasty word, and who es gently catch it up, and bear it from oar to ear, are not only common nuisances, but they are worse. They are the disturbers of quiet and happy homes—they are the fomenters of discord and disunion among friends—they are either the thoughtless or the malignant causes of scandal, calumny, bitterness and fued. Alas! how many of these are to be found, not only in every grearnietropolis, but in every little village. They ltUten from door to door as if bent on mischief. The slightestwhister °Nan der is magnified into something serious,. and thus by . ., .riods and shrugs, and stran g e surmises, reputations are trilled with, char acters aria assailed, and household circles .aro rendered miserable. Should it not be regarded u .a duty on the part of those who are admitted to the eon/Honda. of Maids and families, who sire made parties to their Nelda, abd beftee whom, many thiuga are said . not intended fo r this general ear of the world—le it not a duty on the part of all such, to avoid the repetition, oven of harsh , remarks!, or betrayal of ariy single .eireumitanoe that '414-(Atit6nifif. node inurei in a epliii of :0441feneel • ~) 'Telt norileartlerei and treaterentrm otipatlon, to repeethinguigethatins meant only for the private ear, if the repetition be calculated to injure the reputatbM of the original utterer, or to wound ILO feelings of another t—ls it not the policy, as well of benevolence, as of wisdom, to afford as much pleasure as possible in this world, and inflict as little paint If we cannot say something kind and generous of those with whom we mix and mingle, had we not bet ter hold our tongues and remain silent ? If wo cannot brighten the reputation of those immediately around us, why should we engage in the unpleasant task of sully ing and darkening ? All have errors and infirmities, and all, therefore, are liable to mistakes. It is impossible to keep watch and guard upon ourselves at all moments, while there are many, moreover, who are quick, impulsive, and thoughtless, and who indeed, often say things which they do not really mean. It is cruel, therefore, to take advantage of such, to gain their confidence and enjoy their friendship, and yet abuse both to their prejudice. The dearest ties, the most sacred attachments, the holiest bonds have boon sundered by this species of wanton hypocrisy and heartless treachery. The little things of life are often pregnant with mighty consequences. A remark made in confidence, and, repeated in vicious, jeal ous, or malignant spirit—nay, if repeated at all, will often open the door for miscon struction, and lead to misunderstandings, that years of after efforts will not fully reconcile. Nothing wounds su deeply u. the slight, or unmerited rebuke of a friend. Nothing rankles so keenly in the h uman heart, as a belief or impression that one to whom we have ir( en in the habit of turning with confidence for a long period, and whose faith, good-will, and sincerity we never entertained a doubt, has said or done something, either calculated to de stroy the kindly feeling at a blow, or to throw a suspicion on his conduct for ever after. And yet this is the bitter fruit of social treachery. A word, or hint, a sug gestion attributed to a friend, and calcu lated to annoy or to wound, will often dis turb an intimacy, and rupture bonds that have existed kindly and closely for years. The spirit that would deliberately engage in this foul work, and with the malevolent purpose of exciting suspicion, ordestroying confidence and good will, is at once des picable, denimiae. Its trophies are sever ed bonds-.its triumphs are broken hearts. The Soul Weighed against a Feather. During a fooling of religious interest, in one of our large cities, a few years ago, a young lady belonging to a gay and fashion able circle wax induced to attend the preaching of a clergyman, whose labors had been eminently blessed to the conver sion of sinners. She had previously had seasons of anxiety concerning her soul, but the attractions of agcy and seducing world were too congenial to her natural disposition, to be formally and finally relinquished. On this occasion, the faithful monitor within seconded, and gave additional force to the warning voice of the man of God, as he held up to her view her involuntary rejection of God and the danger of her full and fatal renunciation of his authority and love. "No, this shall never be !" she said with in herself. "I will return unto the Lord. I will begin his service now." "But think," whispered the tempter— "you have a beautiful feather in your hat !" "True," she replied, "and it has been very much admired. My beautiful feath er has been my pride, during all the seas on; and many a time it has engrossed my thoughts in the house of God, and kept me from heeding the solemn truths of the gospel. But it shall be so no longer.— This time I am in earnest." 'But if you become a Christian now, you must lay aside your feather," argued the tempter. This was a new thought, and she tried to believe it an erroneous one; but the more she struggled with the suggestion, the more strength did it ac quire, until she was forced to yield assent to its truth. "Yes, I must give it up, if I become a Christian, but how can I P This beauti ful feather in which I have so long glor ied, and which has made me an object of admiration and envy to many. 0, I can not let it go I" "Wait a little," artlessly whispered the enemy of her soul; "the season is nearly past; then you must if necessary lay it a bide." "This is a good suggestion," she said, not recognising the malicious instigation ; ill will wear it as long as I can, and then ittend to my salvation. In this way I can save both my feather and my soul." Raving thus settled the matter, she went borne, in , 'a more ecinfortable state of mind. As she was really anxious to retain her serious impressions, she- spent a season in prayer and meaitation, before retiring for' the , night.

At length it said in earnest and solemn tones, "Will you barter your soul for a feather She lay for a moment, pondering the momentous question, and estimating the "profit of losing her soul, and gaining" such a bauble. "It shall never be said that I gave my soul in exchange for a feather," she re sponded : and rising from her bed, she re lighted her candle. She then deliberate ly and firmly took the feather from her hat, exclaiming, "Thou art lighter than vanity. Thou art but as the small dust of the balance, when weighed against my precious undying soul I" The contest was over; all that stood between her soul and salvation was now taken away; and with au humble, believing spirit, she went to the feet of the Savior, and yielded her self to his control forever. Probably the cases are rare, in which the struggle of the soul between thoclaims of God and the objects of its idolatry, is so strongly marked as in this instance ; yet it is always true, that there is some darling object, some idol of the afnetions, which opp.)ses the soul that is seeking in earnest to work out its own salvation ; and if a correct analysis of the case were made, how often would -this obstacle be found, n o more substantial or weighty than a - feather ! wildly around fl something that might he used as a weron. but nothi n g app e ar.

AN EA►Y CURE FOR Inarcattartcm— We have seldom met.lshii .a Mare striking instance of the union of simplicity and wisdom, fur which the Quakers are re markable, than the following: A man addicted to habits of intoxication wile suffering the initial miserable Collie.

A complete reformation ensued. How simple undeffectual a rule. Invalids, try it. How It Originated. The old saying "Many a slip between the cup and the lip," was supplied to take its origin from one of Penelope's wooers being idiot as he was going to drink, but it arose, AP Ainsworth has it. thus:—"A king of Thrace had planted a vineyard, when one of his slaves, whom he had much op pressed in that very work, prophesied that he, the king, would never taste the wine produced by it. The king disregarded the prophecy, and when at an entertainment lie helJ the cup full of his own wine, and sent for his slave. and insultingly asks d him what he thought of itis prophecy now ? The slave only answered, *there's many a slip between-She cup and the lip.' Scarce ly had he spoken, when news were brought that a hugh boar was laying his vineyard waste. The king arose m a fury, attacked the boar, and was killed without ever tast ing the wine. Intellect. We bow to no other aristocracy ; we recognize no other. We spurn and scorn with our whole soul, the contemptible nar rowness and littleness of spirit which some men exhibit in doing homage on account of wealth and appearance. A man is no better titan we. because he can give a cost ly party, or drink a dearer drink theta we, or has more maid or man servants. A peasant may be as good as a President.—;. Not what man puts on without, but what he has within him proves to us his . man- hood.
