her father Our ages were nearly the
same, and thus while I had the spirit and
temper of a child, she already begin to

She was
pursuing the same course although in

impression of her musical voics upon me,
as she translated to an usher, portion? of
Virgil'. J'"ncid that my tycs wore attrac
ted from books, and my mind from inflec

inflections of those mellifluous tones; that
my cars were conscious of only one sound,
end oblivions of tutors' rebukes or grave
instructions.
We studied Grrk together, she well
prepsred to commence it; I though back
ward vet in Latin, determined lo he with
her. They gave mc credit for ambition
and love of learning. knew it was a
feeling of idolatry, a love for her preaencc,
a determination to be her associate. Yet,
I was as timid aa a tlccr, and dare not
look her in the face; only dare wear a
neater collar, a smoother head, a more shi
ning boot in school ; only d;r- shrink from
playing with my fellows wb. 'i she wa.
near; only dare bang my h. .1 when a
word of parent! reproof ws rnoken to
her, (of course .he never desert, it;) only
dare blush when her name was mentioned
in my pre.ence ; only dare hold my breath
as she rustled gaily by, and look after her,
till she was lost in the distance, a. she
trodc the street, or if observed by a sud
den turn of her headj pretend to be search

and I moved off as quietly aa possible
to the little room. I could not stay
away, for there was one whose presence
drew me. I know, however, I was
alone, for I dare not look- into the face
of any one, for I foolishly imagined that
every one was interested in watching how
I acted. Copious were the tears of that
occasion, the full outbursting of an over
flowing heart more, probably, than in
J all time since I li3ve been able to shed
tear, of vexation, for I was cajoled tear,
of disappointment, I had been deceived
tears of shame, I had shown my weakness,
and the had been a witness, or at least had
heard of it, now I dare not look at her
hopeless tears I never could recover, she
would despise m. for my childish impu -
dence in aaying such, and for my temerity
in prizing her. Ah ! it was foolish, and it
wa. but a child, a very sensitive one, wan
dering through that grave yard to keep
away from companion. but I know that
to my vision these matter, were great, and
I almost wished to lie down among the un
worricd dead and be free. But this out
flow had had an effect upon me, and forth
from this baptism of grief I went a little
more wise, and the world was not the same
to me afterward. I entered the room on
that bright autumn afternoon with a
lighter heart, though ashamed of much

I returned home, and m the evening
repaired to the Acalemy to get ready for
examination. In the ball, alone, I met
Kate. With the voice of an angel, and
the noble look of a true woman, she said
to me, " Wi y did you get angry ?" Those
words are even now ringing in my ear,
and, afier a moment of excitement they

The next dav the examination in my stud
ies was passed through, and early on the
following morning I bade my preceptor
and family a hasty and final farewell, and
took my departure for a new home. Oc
casionally since have I heard of that fair
one, and once was I privileged to visit her
at home, now a woman, like myself advan
cing toward the zenith of life. I know
her yet to be an object of love to all around
her, and very useful in society, though
unmarried, and I have sometime! flattered
myself that the knoiceJ-je of a school
boy's love would not have been unpleasant
to her. Hebbebt Leslie.
Home.
Home is a Saxon word ; but with an
import common to the race of man. Per
haps language has not another word that
clusters within it so many and so exciting
meanings that calls into action so many
feelings, so many faculties of our being.
" limit!" Say bot the word, and the
child that was your merry guest begins to
weep.

completing his studies in Edinburg, writes
to the Philadelphia Christian Chronicle as

The longer I stay here, the greater are
the advantages that open before me. Prof.
Aytoun has kindly invited me to his house
several times, where I have met some of
the first literary men of Scotland. At Dr.
Beilbey's, Ir. Innes', Rev. Mr. Dickey's,
I am now quite at home. Prof. Aytoun is
a man of great genius. His poems arc
known and admired over Kurope. As
present Editor of Blackwood, he wins
universal applause; and as a lecturer,
(Porfessor of Rhetoric) he is eloquent in
a high degree.
Among the students, I have becom
acquainted with three Egyptians, one
Russian, one Greek, one Chinaman, two
Persians, three Germans, cno Arabian,
and two Frenchmen, besides many others.
Some of these Ali Key Mustapha,Kotzna
Mkrrilcs, Chung l'ou Seng, Ben al Mu
hammed and Karl Swalmzc I may even
rank a. friends. We spend much time
in each other's rooms, conversing concern
ing our respective countries. It is delight
ful to me to listen to their narrations. Ali
Bey JIustapha has two wive, though he
is only about twenty years old.
Among my female acquaintances has
lately been introduced a prety Jewess and
two young ladie. from Iceland. The
former is a devout Chri.tian, and Las a
' clas. in the Ragged Sunday school. The
j latter are at a female seminary in the city,
and I first met them one evening at .Jlr.
Dickey's. They are two sisters and rr-ry
interesting. Through them 1 discovered
what I never knew before, that is, that
Iceland has a fine native literature. They
come from Skalholt, and their descriptions
of the native cuitoms are exceedingly
interesting.
I am gteatly ttrnck with the strictness
with which the Sabbath is here observed.
It i. really a day of rat. All go lo church.
Ho light conversation, no uielcss employ-
mer.t of ti
me, no
idle laugh, even, ie
indulged upon this sacred day. Everything
wears a more serious and happy appear
ance than upon other days. Few. indeed,
are thoee who stay away from a place of
religious meeting. The spirit of the
venerable Knox seems npon the Sabbath
to animate all breats, and 41 Love to
God," (the motto over the door of Knox's
bouse) a?em. written upon the face of
every one, whether rich or poor, titled or
peasant.
The manner, of the people please me
very much. Tru-, there is not that
warmth of filing that melU everything
into its own love, but there ie a delicate
reserve that is scarcely less captivating.
Among my female acquaintanees,especially.
iln T notice this most. Gentleness of
manner, with sensitive feelings of propri
ety, are no .mall virtues ; and these the
Scotch ladies certaialy posses, to a great
degree.
The city is replet with objects of in
terest Holy rood Palace, the Castle,
Carlton Hill, the monuments of Scott,
IJurns, and Lord Melville, statues of Pitt,
Scott and George IV., Iron and iSt.Jnhn's j
Churches, St. George Chapel, or. Giles
Cathedral, give iuteMt aud elegance to
the city.
Among the many "features" of Scotland
not the least interesting, i. the .VfcA
pulpit. Thorn a. Chalmers and Jviward
Irving, it is true are dead, but their spirit
yet lives. I have been to many of the
churches aad have heard mst of the first
preachers : and, though I can not say that
they surpass our own in mntir, they
certainly excel in manner. There i. a
certain earnestness about them that irre
sistibly draws the attention of every one
in the congregation. The "Free Church"
that is, the Church not supported by
I'nvernment has manv more xealcus
o
ministers than the Established Church
The fight against l'opery in Scotland is
most earnest. It fills me with astonish
ment to see how fearlessly the Scotch
clergy thunder at the gate, of Rome.
They expose the errors of the I apal
Church with a aeal that know, no fainting.
and with a power' that .'must at length
prove successful.
Since I have left home I have made my
decision as to the basincs. of my life.
Duty has prevailed; I am to be a minister.
I renounce all hope of earthly distinction.
Jly earnest desire now is that I may do
something for the kingdom of Christ, nor
dj 1 wish to be satisfied with a small work.
I want to put on the whole Christian
armor. Let your prayers aseend in my
behalf that I may be indeed a servant of
God. C.U..M.
Influence of Associates.
It has been quaintly but wisely .aid.
remark, the Hartford Courant, that man
kiud is divided into but two elass.s, those
that load, and those that are led. The
first are few In number, but they give a
tone to society, a character to the world
around them, and are frequently accoun
table for the follies, the vices, and the
crime, of the whole community. The
same fact take, place among the young.
Human society is the tame in all ages,and
among those just entering life, there may
be found the leader and the follower,
for either good or evil. To the leaden,
we can only .ay, at present, beware of the
example you set. The destinies of human
souls for ever, depend upon you, for you
have more influence in the formation of
the character of your companion, than
even their parent, themselves. The time
is coming when all the evil, of a wrong
influence, all the consequences of a cor
rupting example, every unholy or impure
precept, every character contaminated, anr!
every prospect of usefulness blasted thro'
your agency will cry out,trumpet-tongued,
for your condemnation. To those who are
led, whose destiny and character depend
upon the influence of others, we can say
"beware of your associates." Your mind-
are pliant, your opinions unformed you
arc ready to pursue any road pointed out
to won bv vour anmsinir companions. If
j - J
they are vicious, your own docile dispnsl
tions will be easily led iito the same dan
ircrous course they pursue. If the moral
principles of nonesty and purity .re want
- -
ing in them, the contact with their stronger
niwers of decision will soon undermine
those principles in your heart. This cau
tion i. more particularly n'-eled by young
and inexperienced men from the eountry,
who go to the city as clerk, or apprentices,
Their whole character, not only dnring
youth, but for ever, may depend upon the
choice of the firat companion. Their whole
success in their employments; the acqui
sition of those habit, that will make them
useful and respectable hereafter, will de
pend upon the influence of the associates
they select. They may conduct him by
step, unapparcnt to himself, to the down
ward course of dissipation, dishonesty ami
degradation, or they may lead him insen
sibly to the higher walks of sobriety, hon
esty, industry and good order, until habit.

Dreadful Condition of Europe.
The late European news bring sad ac
count, of destitution in certain portions of
Enrog-. A eo'rispondent write "that
the rumors of the possible change in the
corn laws of England, have been received
with the utmost consternation in such of
the enrn-growing districts as are .till in a
pneition to export. Upwards of SOO .hips
in the P.lack Sea, and a still greater num
ber at Constantinople, are lying idle ; and
in Constantinople extreme anxiety was
manifested (at the lust advices) on a'l
hands for the first whisper of the projected
change, in England, no merchant ventur
ing to freight a vessel until something;
positive wa known. This was felt more
(says a letter from Tries'e) on account of
the favorable state of the we ther, and
the probability of quick passages."
Famine, it would appear, if threatening
Germany in earnest. The account from
Poland are roost disheartening. In the
Carpathians, people are literally starving.
There is no bread at all. The inhabitants
are said to be living on a soup of some
k nd, which they call "reitkamuka," a
compound of fat and milk ; or they cock
a sort f thick oaten pap, something in
appearance like the Ita l.upol.nta tlii
they call "kulasl a," and eat in the plaCJ
of bread. As in nil tim-s of great want,
crime and dissipation of all kinds come to
swell the list of horrors, it is not surpris
ing to Lara that something very like an
archy i. raging iu thedistrictsmost affected
by the famine. The men, callous ani
desperate, get at the fiery Brantwein of
the eountry, and murders and robberies of
the weak and defenceless naturally suc
ceed. In consideration of the high price
of potatoes, concurrently with the general
dearth of provisions, the Government of
the Grand Duchy of lleaee has forbidden
the consumption of potatoes in the distill
ation of spirits.
Troubles and bad government have su
perinduced these a!ll.ctione. ''The humblo
classes, being deprived of all heart and
energy," Hays a correspondent, "have left
their fields uncultivated for mile., lest the
rude hands of some hateful soldiery should
seize or destroy the fruits lit their labor.
The conaeqiiwuee of this is something very
like a f iruiue'in many parts Europe."
