THE CHILD READING THE BIBLE
By Mrs. Hemans.
I saw him in his sport erewhile;
The bright exulting boy,
Like Summer's lightning came th&smile
Of his young spirit's joy;
A flash that wheresoe'er it broke,
To life undreamt of beauty woke.
Hfe fair locks-waved in sunny playj
By a clear fountain's side,
Where jewel-colour'd pebbles lay
Beneath the shallow tide ;
And pearly spray at times would meet
The glancing of his fairy feet.
He twined him wreaths of all spring-flowers,
' Which drank that streamlet's dew ;
He flong them o'er the waves in showers,
.'Till, gazing, scarce. I knew
Which Beem'd more pure, or bright, or wild,
The singing fount or laughing child.
To look on all that joy and bloom
Made Earth one festal scene,
Where the dull shadow of the tomb
Seem'd as it ne'er had been.
How could one image of decay
Steal o'er the 'dawn of such clear day ?
1 saw once more that aspect bright
The boy's meek head was bow'd
In silence o'er the book of Light,
And like a golden cloud,
The still clou of a pictured sky
His locks droop'd round it lovingly.
And if my heart had deem'd him fair,
When in jibe fountain glade,
A creature of the sky and air,
Almost on wings he pfay'd ;
Oh! how much holier beauty now
Lit the young human Being's brow ?
The Being born to toil, to die,
To break forth from the tomb,
Unto far nobler destiny
Than waits the skv-lark's plume !
I saw him in that thoughtful hour, .
Win-the first knowledge of his dower.
The soul, the awakering soul I saw.
My watching eye could trace
The shadows of its hew born awe,
Sweeping o'er that fair face;
As o'er a flower might pass the shade
By some dread angel's pinion made !
Thesoul, the Mother of deep fears,
Of high hopes infinite,
Of glorious dreams, mysterious tears,
Of sleepless inner sight,
-.Lovely, but solemnly, it arose,
Unfolding what no more might close.
The-red-leaved tablets, undefiled,
As yet by evil thought
Oh ! little dream'd the brooding child,
Of what within me wrought,
While his young heart first burn'd and stirr'd,
And quiver'd to the Eternal Word.
And reverently my spirit caught
The reverence of his gaze ;
A sight with dew of blessing fraught
To hallow after days ;
To make the proud heart meekly wise,
By the sweet faith in those calm eyes.
; It seem'd as if a temple rose
Before me brightly there,
And in the depths of its repose,
' My soul o'erflowed with prayer.
Feeling a solemn presence nigh
The pdwer of Infant Sanctity !
O Father ! mould my heart once more.
By thy prevailing breath !
Teach me, oh ! teach me to adore
Ev'n with that pure One's faith;
A -faith, all made of love and light,
Child-like, and, therefore, full of might t
. All thie, and more than this, is now engraved
upon the rcd-lcaved tablets of my heart" Haywood.
SCOTIANNA.
Lady Scott one day, speaking of a person
who had been fortunate in life, seemed to im
pute a good deal of his success to luck, "Ah,
mamma ! said Sir Walter, (he often addressed
Ills wife familiarly by the term mamma,) "you
may say as yqu like, but take my word fqr his
'tis skill leads to fortune."
Lady (then Mrs.) Scott had a rich piece of
cake, which she presented upon a sal var with a
glass of wine, and which, not being cut into
nibbleable pieces, had been long permitted to
remain entire, and had been presented and re
presented times without number to successive
visitors, till her husband at length became quite
tired of seeing the same piece ; so often, and
one day remarked, when a guest was present,
'Really, Charlotte, this piece of cake of yours
is beginning to make me an auld man!1
Sic Walter resembled every man oftruegreat
ness of mind, in deep respect for the illustrious
.Johnson. This is apparent throughout all his
jirose works, in which he never misses an
opportunity of introducing a quotation from
the "trreat moralist." Being one day in com-
n;inv. whAn thfi various merits of Johnson's
imitators were discussed." "Ay, ay," said he,
"many of them produce his report, but which
of them caries his bullet?" This is one of the
most beautiful testimonies that one ereat mind
ever bore to the greatness of another; and the
metaphor in which it is conveyed is, in addi-
uu,i singularly appropriate to the lorcioie
character of Johnson's writings. We have
been informed that Sir Walter was often heard
io expresses admiration of Dr. Johnson, and,
on one occasion, in the presenc of several per
sons he took om a volume of his works, and
.rrl" , llJ f fluman Wishes," in a tone
i " ' ' 1ueeP'y be felt the beauties
anu c4ui.cu m me truths ofjhat fine moral
poem.
Sir Walter told tbi fMl...:
-..wii4g anecdote to a
gentleman, who immediately! afterwards re
lated it to one of the editors of this naner
wnen xuanuwu uamc um, ti, uiaae a rnntiri

many people went to see rlodden lieldso tha

andhesentto ue,akk5ngme to' Write a few I 0
lines for, a sign he was going to erect, thinking
as his letter told me, that any thing from me
would have a good effect. I sent him back
word, that I was at present a good deel occupi
ed ; but begged to suggest, as a next best, a

his undertaking, which, I remarked, would do
very well with a slight alteration taking out
the letter r
414 Weary stranger rest and p(r)ay !'"
Sir Walter, who hardly ever spoke sligh- t
tinely of superstitions beliels, related ine 101
lowing circumstance to the same gentleman :
44 When Abbotsford was built, the furniture
was procured from London, and some of the
npholster's men came down to put it up and ar
range it in the house. The night subsequent
ly all was put to rights, Sir Walter, and in
deed the whole household, heard noises among
the furniture ina distant part of the house, as
. - . i i ii -;n i
it tne wornraen nau ueen sun engaged in ar
ranging it. A few days after intelligence was
received that the upholster had died in Lon
don. He also said, that when his first two or three
works were published, he felt exceedingly
anxious to see the reviews, and hear how the
world received him ; but alter his curiosity or
vanitv died so much awav, that he never made
anv attempt to see a review, ana oiten never
heard or saw a word that was said upon the
subject.
Sir Walter was one day visiting the Ettick
1 1 ! .1 ITT 1 .1
Shepherd, wnne tne waveny aumorsnip was
still a mistery, and took a sight of his library,
in which his own prose works formed a con
spicuous feature, with the back-title, 44 Scott's
Novels." 44 What stupid fellow of a binder
you must have got, Jamie," exclaimed Sir
Walter, 44 to spell Scots with twa t's !".
Like his counterpart, Shakspeare, Sir Wal
ter Scott was much given to punning. A friend
borrowing a book one day, he said 4 Now, I
considered it necessary to remind you, that this
volume should bee soon returned, for, although
many of my frtends are bad arithmeticians, al
most all of them are good boook -keepers."
ILLS OF LIFE.
No man, we are convinced would complain
of the unequal dispensations of Providenqe, if
he knew the secrets of his neighhor's bosom,
11 1 1 .. .1 . .. ..f L!. T .
as well as ne ooes moseoi nis own. ii is an
old saving, and one which doubtless is as true
as it is old, the honest laborer s life is a life of
bliss compared with that of the man who has
thousands at his command. In most respects
this is certainly the case. Everv man thinks
his lot is the hardest; but every man is not as
familiar with the state of his neighbor's affairs
as he is with that of his own. If he were,
he would frequently, instead of complain
ing of the burthen of his own yoke, bless his
stars that he was himsef, and not another.
It is not ouly unmanly to complain, as we
hear men complain every day, but it is irreli
gious. In fact I wouldnot ask abetter evidence
of the religion of a man's heart, than to see
him bear unmurmuringly the yoke which has
been assigned to him, during his earthly pro
bation. Misfortune is no respecter of persons.
The poet Schiller has a few beautiful lines on
this subject, which we will quote.
"Athwart the city's streets,
With wailing in her train,
Misfortune strides,
Watchful she marks,
The homes of men:
j lo-day at this,
1 o-morrow at yon other door, she knocks,
But viisses none,
Sooner or liter comes,
Some messenger of woe,
To every thresholdwhere the living diccll!"
Cin. Mir or.
Industry. It has been said with great
truth, that man must have occupation or be
miserable. Toil is the price of sleep and ap
petite of health and enjoyment. The very
necessity which overcomes our natural sloth,
is a blessing. The whole world does not con
taina briar or a thorn which divine mercy
could have spared. We are happier with the
sterility, which we can overcome by industry
than we could have been with spontaneous plen
ty, and unbounded profusion. The body and the
mind are improved by the toil that fatigues
them. The toil is a thousand times rewarded
by the pleasure which it bestows, Its enjoy
ments are peculiar. No wealth can purchase
them. They flow only from the exertions
which they repay,
Who wants to be Sweetened. A new
edition of wooden nutmegs in the shape of mo
lasses honey, has of late formed quite a "notion"
for " the trade." It is principally sold bv ped-
ars, and is made by adding ten gallons ofsugar
house molasses, three of water, and two of
good honey, and boil them together. This
honey sells for 8 a i2 cents per lb. The Mo-
asses costs 3 cents per lb.' and the water is
w x
"dog cheap." -The honey generally takes the
name ot " Southern Honev" and probably is
rightly named, so far as the molasses part is
concerned. Our ohie.rt. in initincr this nara-
graph is to inform those who would prefer buy
ing their molasses separate, and mixing to suit
memseives, mat they must be careful how
they trade with honey pedlars. Lowell Jour.
Colt. To break him never strik. but often
lead him by the side of another horse, with a
bridle. When he walks well, brino- him tn
trot after him; then lead him often in the sad-
die. Then put on a smal
weight, and gradu-
ally increase. Then let one hold and another
mount him, and ride after
another ho
rse in a
ploughed field, till he learns the use of the bit
and willjstop or go at your pleasure. By this
easy method you will break your colt without
breaking his spirit. A. . rarmer.
