HEART=ILIFE.
Whenever we 'visit the emintry - for a
day, vie gain some fresh impression of the
presence ' the power,- the goodness, and tile
glory of God in his works. It seems to us
th,t; Ow, who live in the country are
smneh ow nearer to God than we of the
city can be. The sky they look upon is
not a narrow, loagitudival section of blue
between two parallel walls of. brick and
stone, but the wide expanse of the &lini
ment from north to south, 'from east to
west. The sunshine they enjoy is not a
reflection from red brick and white paint,
or a' diuilY.lliuMinated vapor of white and
smoke, but the clear, full ont-pouring of
the min himself, rejoicing as a strong moo
to run a race. The flowers they look up.
on are not nursed in the sickly heat of a
conservatory, but sun themselves in the
open air. The water they drink does not
flow through miles of iron and lead pipes,
but comes leaping down the mountain, or
bubbling from the glade. The trees hat
give them shade are not hemmed in with
flagstones and wire boxes, • but strike their
roots in a virgin soil, and spread their
branches as they list. There is little of
the artificial interposed between the Ma
ker of all and the observer of his works,
between the Giver of all and the rdeipi
ent of his benefits. But, after all, people
who live in the country have doubtless
their forms of worldliness as well as we
of the city. The meadows and fieldi,that
we admire is witnesses tkat theLordelireth
for Min And beast, are worth just so Much
to them in hay and wheat, sad in those
days of telegrupls, railroads, arid cheap
newspapers, the farther in 'the ',interior is
as eager to know the price of "breadstuffs
ini.Eurqie, as is the Pront-street merchant:
or the Wall street speculator.' The merry
stream that is to us a symbol of freedom,
pnrity, truth, love,—a gush 'of life 'and
blessedness from the infinite and'eternal
fountain—is to its neiglbor suggestive
lather of a still-privilege worth so much to
the farm. The woods under whose venera
ble Shade wo. hive to walk with God; are
to theirowner so many leads of fuel, or
shingles;"er so many sucks of ship-timber.
Worldliness is everywhere, for it is in the
heart, of mau. it is in the country as well
as tbe city, and 'through those forms.
which are hi widest c'on'trast with the city.
Indeed; from the frequent requests of our
country raders, that ate would give them
wfull price-current, and bank note list in
evOry,paper, we stispect their is' little dif
ference between• city and' country in tho
ratio of the thiiigs of the world to the
things of Christ.. We Artist that' these
friends do not Mike thepriee-current their
Sabbath'reading; and justify them.
solves because they find it- in it religious
newspaper After
_all,: our religious life
is net a thing of the Outward. Its springs' i
are not in the . mountain - cave, or n the
wooded glen. Its water do not drop from
the clouds. Its light does not come from
the,natural sun. ,In city or country, it
Must be an limier(' heart-life. But in the
city, where all is outward, and'where tho
outward leads away from God, there is
need of the most imperative shutting up of
the heart to its closet-life, as the spring of
all•spiritual activities.' We Cannot grew
religious by visits to the country, or by
any communion with the outward. We
must shut ourselves up with the Bible and
ivith God, iu the close' communion of
prayer. We must take tints ot this.—
In city or in country, our life must'be hid
with Christ in God.

ROSALEE AND UETTIE.
BY rAANY
Every body called Rosalie a beauty.—
Every body was right: Her cheeks look
ed like a ripe peach ; her hair waved over
tit fair a forehead as everia zephyr kissed ;
Ft& eyes and mouth wore: as perfect as eyes
and mouth could bo ; no violet was softer
or bluer than the one, no rose-bud sweet
er than the other. Alf imlors became 'Ro
salie; and whatever she did was gracefully
dodo. ,
. ,
Yes ; everybody thughrßosalio was "a
, beauty." Rosalie thought so herself.—
So she took no pains , to be good, or amia
ble, or obliging. Sho -never cared about
learning anything ; for oho said to her
self I can afford le be a dunce f I like; I
shah be always' ; tieughOnd admired for
•rey pretty file°.',/ '
So , iliosalie dressed as tastfully u iihe
and , the dress-maker knew how • and look
ed up. to allow 'her fine oy es, and down to
dhow hei long' eie=l es; and held, up
i
her drees, and hopped it . r little imagine
sty puddles, to' show her pretty feet; and
stalled, to show. ler 'White teeth ; and
Oanued to show her ,fine form ; and was
brilliant and is brainless as a butterfly.
New I snipes° , Yon'think that 'Resalie
was very happy. Not' it all I She Was•
in a perfect fidget lestAthe should not get
all the tultairation she *anted. She was
torturing herself all the while, for fear
some prettier face would come along and
eclipse hers: If she went to a party, and 1
every , person bus one admired her, she
would fret herself siolt' because , thakone
didn't, bow down and - worship her.
Never having stitched* road any thing,
Rosalie conic' talk nothing but nonsense ;
so 'every body who conversed with her
talkod nonsense toe, 4nd painter silly com
pliments • and mods her, believe that all
she need edto make her quite an angel was,
a pair of wings ; and then idle' would hold
her pretty head nu' otte side, and simper ;
and they would go away laughiug in their
sleeves. and saying, .
"What a vain little fool Ro;alie
Now, Rosalie's cousin fletty, was as
pluin as 'a chestnut-him -She had not a
singte.pretty feature in libeftice. Nobody
ever thought of callinglletty a beauty,
and she knew it ; she. wins used' to being
overlooked ; but she didn't go about whi
ning and making herself iinhappy about it
—not she. She just put her mind oti
something else: She studied, and read
books; and learned a great many useful
things. So she had a great deal in her
mind to think of, and went singing about as
happy as mild be, withotit winding wheth
er any . body untied her otT not.
So she griiiv — up — swei .3Lt.onprirod,;
ble, generous, and happy. Whou she went
into company, strangers would say, "What
a plain, little body Hcuy is." It they
eueld:not find anybody else to talk to they
would go speak to, her. Then [Fatty
would look up at them with ono of her
quiet smiles, and commence talking. She
would sly a great many very sensible
things, rind some queer ones; • and they
would liAten—and listen—and listen—and
by and by look at their watch, and wonder
what• bad made time fly so ; and then go
home, wondering to themselves how they
could ever call such an agreeable girl .as
Hwy ..homely."
SO, you see; everybody learned to love
her, when they found out what a beautiful
soul she had ; and while Rosalie was pi
ning and fretting herself sick; because ber
beauty was fading, and her'admirrita were
dropping off; one' by flue, to flatter prettier
faces Hotly, ent qtrietly on her way win=
ning hearts, afid--kooping them too.

Dr. Robeithen says the minds of chil
dren ought to be, little, if at all, tasked,
till the brain's dovelopereent is nearly
completed, or until the age of six or seven
years. Aud will those years be wasted?
or will the futurs man be more likely to
be detioient in ruental,powerand capability,
than ono who is differently treated ?
Those yeare will sot be waited. The
great book ofnature is open to the infant's
and the child's , prying investigation'; and
from nature's .page may be learned more
useful information than- contained in all
the children's licioks that have °ter been
published. But even supposing those
years to be absolutely lost, which ls any
thing, but the ease, will the child eventu
ally be a loser- therebyf Wo contend,
with our author, that he will not. Task

not only expose•the child to a grester risk
of a diserdered brain-not only, 'lt may
be, lay the foundation for a morbid excite
bility.,of brain, ,that may ono day end in
insanity—but you debilitate its bodily

purposes, the mind will eventually be a

Lady Mary , Wortley Montague, who
figured in the fashionable as well as. in the
literary circles of her time, has said, that
"the most mitiute details of household e
conomy become elegant and refined when
they are ennobled by sentiment," and
they are truly ennobled, when we attend
to them, either from
,a sense of duty, or
Consideration for a parent, or love to a
husband.' "To furnish a room," °main•
nes the lady, "is no longer a comthon
place affair, shared with upholsterers and
cabinetmakers ; it is deCorating the
o p/ace
whore lam to meet a friend or lover.—
To order dinner is not merely arranging a
meal with my cook; it is preparing refresh
ments for him whom I. love. These ne

a person capable of strong attachments, arJ
so many pleasures, and afford her far more
delight than the games and showa which

FASHION.
Fashion rules the world, and a most ty

ple to submit to s,he most, inconvenient
things imaginable, for fa;,hion's sake,
She pinches our feet with tight shoes
or choke us with a tight handkerchief, or
squeezes our breath out of our body by
tight lacing; she makes people sit up by
night when they ought to be in bed, and
keeps thorn in bed when they ought to be
up anti doing. She makes it vulgar to
wait on one's self, and genteel to live idle
and useless.
She makes people visit when thay would
rather'be at home ; eat when they are not
tintigry, and drink When they are not
thirsty.
Sbe invades our pleasure, and interrupts
ow business.. •
She compels the people to dress gayly
--74iheiber upon their own property or that
of others, whether agreeable to the word '
of Ood or , the dictates of pride.
She ruins heitlth and produces sickness
— 7 -destroys life and occasions premature
death.
She makes= foolish parents, invalids of
children Via servants of us all.
She is a tormentor of Conscience, de
spoiler of morality, an enemy to, religion,
and no one can' be her companion and en

She is a despot of the highesi grada; full
of intrigue and cunning--and yet hue:.

The Cat and Canary.
.
A lady had a. pretty canary-bird which
was so tame that she allowed it to leave
ifs cage and fly at largO in her apartment.
She had like wiscica fine .large cut, which
she had trained to treat her bird with gen
tleness ; so, that they were very good
friends. •
Oue morning the bird was hopping a
]botiE the robin picking crumbs from the
carpet as usual, when the cut which was a
sleep on the rug, suddenly sprang up, and
seizing the bird in her mouth, juniptid
with it upon the table. The lady was a
larmed for tho life of her favorite bird,
and starting from her seat was about to
visit herdispleasure upon poor pussy, when
she discovered the occasion of the eat's
unusual behaviour. The door had been
left open and a strange cat had just crept
into the room intent to 'make the little

Daniel was a busy statesman. Dark's

We saw the I.app, camp before, us on a
dry and *Omit grassy space, about . two
and a hall English tulles front the sea.—
Some piles of sticks and mounds, which
seemed like no human habitation, first at
tracted attention. The piles of sticks
form (as not foUnd) a sort of skeleton
shed, which can be enclosed in bad Weath
er by- a kind of rude tarpaulin. They con

script utensils and stores, widen. to fine
weather, are exposed suspended' from the
hue poles. Two low, round mounds of
turf, overlaid with sticks and branches in
a . meet disorderly fashion, composed the
habitations of a multitude of men, women,
and especially children, who seemed at
first eight, to be countless. Their appear

the extreme—was, I thought, decidedly ma

brought out some more favorable features.
The countenance was altogether unlike
any I had seen, but by no means devoid'
of intelligence, and even a certain sweet

that our party was t olerably numeroto.,
they exhibited no,sigus either of distrust
or shyness ; and whilst some of them en
