WORLD OP LOVE AT liO: The earth hath treasures fair and bright Deep buried in her caves, And ocean hideth many a gem, With his blue curling waves. Yet not within her bosom dark, Or 'neath the dashing foam, Lies there a treasure equalling A world of love at home. True sterling happiness end joy Are not with gold allied ; Nor can it yield a pleasure like A merry bright fireside. I envy not the man who dwells In stately hall or dome, If 'mid his splendour he hath not A world of love at home. The friends whom time hath proved,sincere, 'Tis they alone can bring A. sure relief to hearts that dwell 'Neath sorrows heavy wing, Though care and trouble may be mine, As down life's path I roam; I'll heed them not while still I have A world of love at home. Machine Poetrii. :Address ,to whales, and other big fish, as well as to tomcods, flounders, scot. pins, pouts, eels, and other small fry: "Ye monsters of the bubbling deep, Your Maker's praises spout ; Up from the sands ye codlings peep, And wag your tails about." There is much truth, if not poetry, in :he following : The race is not forever got, By him who faster runs; Nor the bat tel to those peo-pel, That shoot with the longest guns." The following address to the Sun chimes very well with the preceding, although of :Bore modern origin : "All hail thou glorious Sun! Bright as a now tin pan! Thou roundest, fairest, purest source— Of bread and cheese to man !" (Picayune. ItZEICMLLANEVOI3. Was it Providence ? BY. MISS. SEDOWICK Take, for example, a young girl, breti delicately in town, shut up in a nursery ;n her childhood—in a boarding•-school through her youth, never accustomed eith .critu air or exercise, two things that the law of God makes essential to health.— She marries; her strength is inadequate to the demands upon it. Her beauty fades early. She languishes through her hard offices of giving birth to children, suckling and watching over them, and dies early. What a strange Provi dence, that a mother, should be taken, in the midst of life, from her children I" Was it Providence 1--No: Providence had assigned her three-score years and ten ; a term lung enough to rear her chi'. 'chef), and to see her children's children ; but she has not obeyed the laws on which life depends, and of course she has lost it. A father, too, is cut off in the midst of Cis days. He is a useful and distinguish. oil citizen, and eminent in his profession. A .general buzz rises on every side, of What a striking Providence!" This lnan has been in the habit of studying half the night, of passing his days in his office and the courts, of eating luxurious din and drinking various wines. He has every day violated the laws on which health depends. Did Providence cut him oil? The evil rarely ends here. The di seases of the father are often transmitted; and a feeble mother rarely leaves behind tier vigorous children. It has been customary in some of our cities for young ladies to walk in thin ::has and delicate stockings in mid-win ter. A health bloOming young girl, thus dressed, is a violation of Heaven's laws, pays the penalty ; a checked circulation, fever, and death, What a sad Orovidenee!" exclaims her friends. Was it Providence, or her own folly UPETaIQ 9 aa, A beautiful young bride goes, night af• ter night, to parties made in honor of her marriage. She has a slightly sore throat► perhaps, and the weather is inclement ; but she must wear her neck and arms bare ; for whoever saw a bride in a close evening dress? She is consequently seized with intimation of the lungs, and the grave receives her before her bridal days are over. " What a Providence?" exclaims the world. "Cut oil in the midst of happiness and hope!" Alas! did she not cut the thread of life herself? A girl in the country exposed to our changeful climate, gets a new bonnet in stead of a flannel garment. A rheuma tism is the consequence. Should the girl sit down tranquil ly with the idea that Providence has sent the rheumatism upon her, or should she charge it on her vani ty, and avoid the folly in future? Look, my young friends, at the mass of diseases that are incurred by intemper ance in eating or in drinking, or iri study, or in business; often by neglect of e::er• cise, cleanliness, pure air: by indiscreet dressing, tight laciog, &c., am] all is qui etly imputed to Providence! Is there not impiety as well as ignorance in this ? Were the physical law strictly observed from generation to generation, there would be an end to the frightful diseases that cut life short, and of the long list of maladies that make life a torment or a trial. It is the opinion of those who best understand the physical system, that this wonderful machine, the body, this "goodly temple," would gradually decay, and men would die as if falling asleep. A TOUCHING INCIDENT, Mr. Geo. Golding, a noted bird fancier, who is well known in State street, having been over twenty years messenger of the New England Marine Insurance office, was much afflicted last summer by the sud den death of his wife. For many years he has also suffered severely from the ef fects of rheumatism, so much so as fre quently to be confined for months to his chamber. But amid all his afflictions he seemed to derive great pleasure from rearing a large family of canaries. Fre quently, when he has been so rocked with pain as to be unable to stand upright, he has scrambled out of bed on his hands and I knees seated himself by the cages, and whistled and talked to his 'little minstrels,' as he calls them, fur hours; and they, in their turn, piping their shrillest notes, or sporting from perch to perch, or eating out of his hand. Every bird had its name, and so per fectly were they trained that nearly all of them knew when he called 'them ; and their names, ton, had each its meaning or association, something in the oriential style. One would be named "Clear Voice,! another Little Red Ritlint, Hood," a third 1. Weeping Willow," Ste: So perfect was the sympathy between them, that he would open the doors o f the cages, then stretch himself on tho floor of his chamber, and call them to him by name, and, in a few minutes they woo Id cluster around him, eat out of his mouth, whistle as he spoke to them, nestle in his bosom, and play a great variety of other interest ing antics, such as birds only can play. Last Tuesday, Mr. Golding though that the chamber was too cold for his feathered family, and in a luckless hour, he placed a charcoal furnace in the room for the purpose of warming it. Half an hour afterwards he visited the room, but who can describe the old man's agony, when he beheld the greater part of the darlings in which all his affections seem ed to centre, lying dead on the bottoms of their cages "Oh, my God !" he ex claimed "all my little ones gone—w;►at have I done to deserve this?" and he sank on the floor, burying his face in his hands. His daughter came immediately to his as sistance, removed the furnace, threw the windows open, and succeeded by these means in preserving twenty birds. lie had fifty in all, and lost thirty of them. Nearly an hour elapsed before the old man could mustar courage to attend to the wants of the living members of Ina family and remove the dead ones. Slowly awl sorrowfully he opened the doors of the cages, the tears the mobile streaming down his aged cheeks—and sad and plaintive were the words he uttered as he separa ted the de'att from the living. The first dead one he pressed to his lips and kissed. again and again, and in a tone of deep sorrow he commenced reci ting its history. "Thou, my sweet little • Morning Star,' were the first to tell me that the n , ght was,gone, and the daylight near, but no more shall I hear thy voice— it is hushed for ever, and my poor hear t. is Mutest broken. And Ilion too:Ay "Evening Star," he continued wessing another to his lips, "why art thou gone?" Why didst thou leave the old man; he was kind to thee, he used to kiss tbee and feet! thee from I.i4iouth, and listen with delight to' thy calm sweet notes, as they sang the sun beneath the sea. My Morning and Evening Star are both set, and I will soon follow them. fie,could proceed no farther, but again sank on the floor, and cried as if his heart would break. Although the birds, to hit) were a great pecuniary loss, say one hun dred and fifty dollars, yet he not once al luded to them in that sense, and we are satisfied that if he had ten times that amount he would freely have given it all if by doing so he could have restored them to life. So warmly is he attached to them still, that he contemplates having them stalled, that he may gaze on them while he lives.—Boston Tranocript.
