Thou hest been taken from my arms,
My preolims s little one.
When on'thy sniffing face I gazed,
And , on thy lovely eye ;
All! little did I think, sweet babe,
That thou so soon shonldst die.
In yonder village °bomb-yard green,
Thy little grave is made
Thy tender form, of marble white,
Within the tomb is Ism.
But angels bore thy ephrit up

The Art of Not Hearing.
In dedicatingmhat follows to the ladies, we
would by no means intimate that they alone
are to be benefited by the advice. The
gentlemen also, sometimes, greatly need a
stopper for their ears. We address the mat
ter to our female friends because they /
mainly, have the education of our sons as
well of our daughters`; and also beciuse
we know that gentlemen are exceedingly
curious to know how the ladies are advised.
We would have both to read and profit.
The art of not bearing should be taught
in every well-regulated, family. It is full as
important to domestic happiness as a cul-,
tivated ear, for which so much money and
time are expended. There are so many
things which it' is pailifut to hear—many
which we ought not to hear—very many
which, if beard, will distirb the temper,
corrupt simplicity and modesty, detract froth
contentment and happiness; that everyone
should be educated to take 'in or 'shut out
sounds, actording,to their: pleasure.
If a man falls into a violent passion, and'
calla the. all manner of iiimes, the first word
shuts my ears, and I hear no more. If, id.
my quiet voyage of life; I find myself caught
in one of those domestic whirlwinds of seold
ing, I shut my ears,;Os a sailor would' 'furl
his sails, and making all
,tight, scud before
the gale. If , a hot and retakes man begids'
to infiame.my,feelhigs,,t`cossider whit mis
chief these' : fi ery sparks may do in -the mag
azine below*here my temper is kept,'arid
instinly close the door.
Does a gadding, Mischief making fellow
begin to inform me what people are saying
about'me, down drone the portcullis of my
ear, and he ginot gat in any farther Dose
the . i
nelihtiorhooir
ask my ear es s , wareboiaie,` it"instinctively
shuts up. Some people seem , anxious to
hear everything . that will vex, and envy
them. If it is "hinted that any one has :
spoken 'evil of them, they 'set about Neill&
ing the matter, and finding out If all the
petty things said of One by heedless : or ill
naturedidlers were to be brought hothe to
him, Ite, would become a merit - walking - pin:

ly, as to` bring in all the tattle of
careless sr spiteful people. If you would be
happy, when ' good men, open your
ears; when among -bad,. shut 'them. - And
as the throat has a muscular arrangement: by
which it takes care of the air pessageb of its

when they are angry'j Whit 'yiiiir of ildien

your neighbors say aboUt your 'childteri
what your rivals say about your business,
your dress, 'dr your, affairs.
This art of, not hearing,, though untaught
in the schools, is by no means unknown, or
unprectieedkr society: I'have noticed that
a waiLbreawomen,never leers an impferti-:
neat` or'` a vulgar remark. A kind of dis
creet deafness saves one froM many insults, :
from much blame, froth not a little apparent
connivance in dishodorable conversation'.
There arc two , doormk inside my ears,a
right-hand door leading to the heart, and a
lift-hand door, with a broad and steep pas
sage out into the opea air. This last door
receives all ugliness, ~ profanity, vulgarity,
mischief making,.whieh suddenly find them
selves outside .of - - me. elidieiens teachers
and indulgent parents save young urchiis a
world of trouble by a convenient deatieis.

that talk - evil of those who are absent; nor

things of which they are ignorant.
If there are sounds otkindness, of mirth,

shut them. If you keep your garden gate

With us, that he who, when a boy, could not

It would not be proper for us to mention,

striving to live - without labor. It is not to
be supposedthat you are not to take any
recreation; this ie. : useful, it is necessary;
but if It come after hard study or produc

moderate. It is not to be' supposed that a
boy is to be a maii— r niuoh less.su old man ;
but in the millet of hie mirth and hilarity,
he may be innocent4nd amiable.
DO n.'t Tattle.
Children, don't talk about each other.
Do n't call one of your sohoolniates ugly,
another stingy,, another cross, behind their
backs. lt is the meanest sort of sin. Even s
if they are ugly,- stingy, or cross, it does
you no good to repeat it. It • makes you
love to tell of faults—iC makes you =char

not proceed too rapidly, the tubidolea •are reabsorbed and
disappear. When the softening has attained a certain de
