A few days before he wrote, he had buried his
eldest son, a fine, manly little fellow, d some
eight years of uge, who had never, he said ;
kuoarn a day's illitess, until that which finally
removed him hence to be here no more. His
death occurred under circumstances which were
peculiarly painful to his- parents. A younger
brother, a delicate, sickly child from its birth, the
next in age ,to hiro, had been down for nearly a.
fortnight with an epidemic fever. In conse
quence of the nature of the disease, every precau
tion had been adopted that , prudence suggested,-
to guard the other members cif the family against
it. Bui of this one, the father's eldest,- he said
he - had little to, fear, so
.rugged was he, and .so
generally healthy. ti,ll, however, he kept a
vigiient eye upon him, and especially forbade his
going into the pobls and docks near his school,
which it was his custom sometimes to visit; for
he was but 'a boy, and "boys ,will be boy - i," and
we ought more frequently to think that it is their
nature
.to be. Of all unnatural things, a re
proach almost to `.childish frankness and lona
cenee ; save me fiorn a "boy-ma‘ n!" But to the
story.'
One evening this"-unhappy. father came home,
Wearied with a long day's hard labor and vexed
at Some little disappointment which. had,. soured
his naturally kind disposition, and 'rendered him
peculiarly susceptible to the smallest annoyance:
While he ivus sitting by the fire in thiS r unhap
py mood of miud, his wife entered the apartment,
and said :
"Henry has just come in, and be is a perfeet
fright, he is Covered from head to' foot with ;JO*
I mud. and is as wet as :a 'drowned rat." -
"Where is tie 1!" asked thefather, sternly.
• "He is shiVering over ilia - kitchen fire. He
was afraid to Come up here, when the girl teld
him you had come home."
"Tell Jane to tell him — to come here this in,
stant," was the brielreply - to this information.
. Presently, the , po'or boy entered, half perished
with -affright and cold. - His - father glanced at
his sad plight,' reproached him bitterly with hie
disobedience, - spohe Of the punishment which 8:
waited him in the morning, as the penalty- of his
offence, and, in . a harstyaice, concluded with

the'boy'icheek, and rested upon it; but he was

son; he felt also the ' - sense of duty ;" yet in the
" ; 7 0 1 04king the; matter over - with- the lad's
mother, lie resolved and promised, instead-of pun
ishing, a4.he. had threatened, to make amends to
the boy's, aggrieved spirit, in the morning, for
the manner in which he had repelled all expla
nation of his offence.
• But if at moinioff never came to that poor
child in ealth. He awoke the next= .morning.

delirium: . in forty-eight hours be was in his

mother, When first called to his bedside; nor at

for bile taken-of recognition, hour - after hour, in

over the :ouch of his dying son. Once indeed
he thought he saw a smile of recognition light
up - his ding eye, and he leaned eagerly forward,
for he would have given worlds to have whis

answered l l but that gleam of. apparent intelli- .
,genes passed quickly away, - and . was saCceeded
by theeolk unmeaning glare, and the wild tos
sings of the -fevered - limbs, which lasted until

Two days after, the undertaker came with t he

was - a beam run out from the wharf ; and
Charles - got out on it to get a fish line and hook
that hung over where ohe water - was deep, and
the first thing we saw, he had? slipped off, and
was struggling .in the water. Henry threw off
his cap and jumped clear from • the - - wharf into
the water, and after a great-deal -of hard-work,
got Charles nut ; and they waded tip through the
mud to where'the wharf Was not so. wet and
slippery ;,and then I helped them-to climb up
the side. Charles told Henry' not to say -any
thing about it, 'for, if he - did, his -father :would
never let him-go near the water again. Henry
was very. Sorry ; and, all the way going .hoine,
he kept saying— - . ,

father ;"tind - this was the,explanation which I
cruelly refused to hear !" and hot and bitter tears
tolled down his cheeks.
Yes, that stern father now learned; and for the
hest time, that what he had treated with unwon
ted severity as a fault, was but the' impulse of a
generous nature ; which, forgetful of self, had
hazarded life for (moth - en It was but the quick
prompting of that manly spirit which he himself
had always endeavored to graft upon his suscep
tible mind, and which, young as he- was, had al
ready manifested itself on more than one'occa.

MtvroN —When Milton was' going to St.
Poul'f School, in London, at one of the• public
examinations, the subject for poetical composi
tions happened to be on our Saviour's first , mir•
acle, the turning of water into wine at the Mar'.
rime. Folios were written and handed in on the
subject. When it came Milton's turn to hand
in his poem, from which not much was .expec
ted, he merely wrote on a slate one hip
"The unconscious water saw its God, and blushed."
The judges looked at each other in astonish
[llPM-7-the laconic beauty, of the line and simple
sublimity of the idea were, so striking. After
bestowing encomiums upon the more elaborate
productions. according to their merits, they
awarded the prize to the future bard of "Para

How easy it is to be deat—rto, be clean !
How easy it is to invest Our house's With the
truest elegance ! Elegande `resides not with the
upholsterer or the draper; it is not in the masa.
ics, the carpetings, the rosewood, the mahogany,
thecandelabra, or the marble ornaments ; it ex•
ists in the spirit presiding over the chambers-of
the dwelling. Contentment must always be
most graceful ; it sheds serenity over the scene
of its abode; it transforms a waste.into a garden.
The home lighted by these intimations of a no•
bier and brighter life may * be wanting in much
which the discontented may desire ; but to its in

Truth—Error.
Truth courts investigation, but error shrinks
from scrutiny. Truth fears no evil from' the
most rigid examination, ,but error always fears
the consequences. Truth is immutable and will
stand criticism. Tiuth, likes its author, is 'mei:
nal, and will exist amidst the wreck of matter
and the crush of,worlds, while errbr will, be
swept awdy with the refug,e of lies. The there
you examine truth, like golf, the' brighter `•it
shines.. Truth is not tarnished by inspection *
bin discovers 'mote splendor. Any system
which shrinks from scrutinj, , discOvert corrup
tion in its premises, and 'is unworthy the atfend

particulars: :
Some thirty years since, a lad of ,one var ,
Eastern States. about ten years of age, Was sent
by his employerto carrya basket, 'ltetvily Wen
with wares, to a purcliaser.,While,.staggcring
under its weight .up a aoineMaat p;feeo'
'gentleman' of about thirty . years'of age pi
hall, n
lfered
his assistance; 'and 'beguiled the tedionsneis of
the way by pleasant -anecdotes, ,good Advice and
hind, words. They parted—fifteem,years passed
nWay—the senior p 1 these ttin,.now' nearly fifty
years of age, sat in his study with nielanaboly
countenance and heavy heart. -. Hisdonr opened;
and his young : and:. fascinating daughter;-: just
blooming into womanhood, entered'': to akuounce
that n plate:nail desired to see her father.
"Show him in; my darling daughter, and do
you, my child, leave us to-ourselves."
I She obeyed. The old gentleman entera l .
"Well, sir,", was ,his salutation, 6 'haV.e Pitt
I considered my' proposition?'
"I have, and have determined. happen' What
will not force or sway,:by .any actof
- Mine, the will of,,my child. She stialllie left to
her own free choice."
"Then, sir, to-rnorro*, by three'oselock, your
property must go into the hands of the "sheriff,
unless you find some friend to pay that twenty
thousand dollars." _
This he said with a sneer, and coldlylowing
left the house. The poor father's, heart was
racked. am a beggar r —my 4atighter is
homeless—l have no friend to offer assistanee•in
this hour of severest trial."
,In the midst, of these bitter reflections . slgsiin
his daughter entered,: introducing a gentleman
of some twenty:eight-yeart of age—ri stranger.
"Atli l'irr the presence of Mr. - G.?"' Was his
opening remark ; which being affirmatively ans
wered, he continued -by saying tbat,' be "w s, 1/ ,
successful of New York, had heard
of the misfortunes of Mr. 'G.,' and cameos pur
pose to ask the amount of his_ liabilities, that he

wants. Nor was he shocked at the mention of
the large amount of twenty thouiand
He haned him his chick, which was duly hon
ored—the father was once more a liappy - mtm
—his daughter was not houselesa—be,had foiled
some friend to , pay,-d4pite the , sneer of his hard
Darted creditor."
"Rut, - pray, sir," said the agitated father, "te
