The Mother Tongue.
PIT XIICI KOWITT.
The mother's name is a heavenly sound
As far as the blue sky 'oendeth ;
Th. mother's voice casts gladnesis round
Whore the iciest realm extendetb.
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.
'Twas spoken by all those kings (dolt(
Hound whom our homage gathers,
And by those warriors true and told
Whom we proudly call our fathers.
Our motherdongue, in the people's mouth,
With word. of power it liveth
'Tis loved in the North and in the South.
And its echo the green wood giveth.
Our mother•tongue, like a flowery wreath,
Both high and low it enfoltleth ;
Through it the souls of our fathers breathe,
And the true heart fast it holtleth.
Oor hearts speak only nut mother-tongue,
They know no foreign translation ;
'Tis it alone, whether wrirton or sung,
Which from sleep can rouse a nation.
Our mother tongue. by the sesaihore wild,
And in deep woods. summer laden.
Bow meetly it latunds, faun man or child,
But •weeteet from the lips of a maiden.
Sweet in titesinire mid sweet In *we,
Sweet in life and in death slim,
And sweet in recollection.
SOCIAL TREACHERY,
THE BETRAYAL OF PRIVATE CONFIDENCE

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

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. The more' ihe reflected the

her thoughts assumed more tlistinetneesi
and the voice which was speaking within,
became too loud to be stifled. At length
it said in earnest and solemn tones, "Will

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,

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.
(ponces. and in a moment oil, repentance,
said he would give anything to cure him'
auk.
in el easy as t o open thy hand."
said a Quaker.
^Cunvinee me of that," replied the ine
briate. •-alid I will persevere in the expert
ment.,•
••When thou takest the tempting glasa
into thy hand." replied the Friend. be
fore thou latest the liquor to thy lips, open
thy hand and keep it open, and thou wilt
be cured."
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. To the aristocracy Of Mind and
heart we bow ; we reverence the intellect
for what it has done, and for it. possibili
ties, but the outward proves nothing; Itis
nothing in comparison with mind.
