!•From my Mother, Slr.”
A few days since a case - came up in the
United gtates DistrietVourt in Philadel
phia, in which a captain of a vessel was
charged with some offence on shipboard
by his crew. An incident occurred in the
hearing of the case which excited a deep
feeling in the court and all present.
A small lad 'was called to tie stand to
testify in the case. He bad been on board
the barque while at Pernambuco, and was
present during the controversy between
the captain and crew. The shaggy 4 1 3-
peeranae of his head, and the bronzed
character of his face and neck, from the
exposure to the Southern sun, at first
sight, would seem to indicate carelessness
and neglect; but underneath that long
and matted hair, the fire of intelligence
gleamed from a pair of small and restless
eyes, which could not ho mistaken. The
counsel for the captain, from the extreme
youth of the lad, doubted whether be un
derstood the obligation of an-oath he was
about to lake, and With a viaw io test his
knowledge, asked leave to interrogate him.
This was granted and the followtng collo
quy took place :

THE WITHERED WitNATIL—In Wan
deriug a'short time ago among the graves
of a burial ground, we noticed upon ono,
only two feet in length, a withered wreath,

when• proffering an' eternal crown, the
spirit host led the child augel from earth to
heaven. This wreath, as it lay withered
and frosted upon the little grave, was to
us the; emblem of eternity ; and we could
not but think it was a sweet and holy
thought that had placedit above the dead.
There was no headstone there—there was
None, needed; for the withered wreath
was'both stone and inscription. telling of a
nest that, as rifled of its sweetest song
bird, and of a pearl that had slipped from
the string of affection here, and had been
gathered to the treasury above. When
that pearl was IoA fre) the jewel-wreath

home, where it had sparkled as neverjewol
sparkled before, there was grief 'unspeaka

and refusing to be comforted." But in
the same hour there was joy in the still
throng of the immortals, for a new star

and a new ray added to - the brilliancy of
Heaven. So it is ever, when from the
circles of earth a babe is borne upward.
Shadows may gather here, and treasured

Dr. Forbes Winslow, sPonkin 4 of . m a r
riage, says :
"Nothing delights me more than to en
enter the neat little tenement of the young
couple, who within two or three years,
without any resources but their own
knowledge of industry; have joined heart
and hand, andengaged to share together
the responsibilities, daties, interests, and
pleasures of life. The industrious wife is
cheerfully employing her own hands in do
mestic duties, puting her house in order.
or mending her husband's clothes, or pre,
paring the dinner while, perhaps, the little
darling sits prattling on the door, or lies
sleeping in the cradle ; every thing seems
preparing to welcome tho happiest of hus
bands and the best of fathers, when he shall
come home from his toils to enjoy the
svrects of his little paradise.. This is the
true domestic plezmure. Health, content
ment, love, abundance and bright prospects
are all hero.
But it has become a prevalent sentiment,
that a man must acquire his fortune before
ho Marries, that the wife must have no
sympathies nor shtire with him in his yur
suits of it, in which pleasure truly, consists;
inkthe,yoniig married people most set out
with as large and expensive anCHtablishment
asis becoming those who have been wedded
for twenty pars. This is very unhappy;
it fills the community with bachelors, Who
arg,waiting to makt fortunes, endangering
virtue and prompting vice; it destroys the
seamy and design of the domestic. insti.

of bitter anguish and bereavement are soon
