Charlotte looked her full in the face. Never hail she seen such beamsof tendarness: There was some thing heavenly iu her eyes, which awakened the most painful admiration. Then, in the Ci.uuteuatieo of ber children there was a Hwect sadness which made her sick at heart. She oked r.f them their several names', and KwaS promptly but modestly answered. Af ter some time spent in broken conversation, die storm began to abate, and it was not Img .till the clouds disappeared from the fac2 of heaven.

When ha helped h'jr from the carriage to her room, she was almost paralyzed with cold. The transition was enchanting. There was a warm room, and a warm, fire blazing cheer fully on the hearth. The windows and mirrors looked larger than when she left them , the ceiling appeared higher ; tha car pet felt a soft and rich as any Brussels her little foot had ever pressed ; and even ths, face of the old clock was transformed with pleasant smiles. . In short everything stood out in luxuriant relief, combining comfoH with utility. Tears of gladness rsally stole into her eyes . i . .

To have erred in oue branch of our duties does not uufit us for the performance of all the res?, unless we suffer the dark spot t spread over our whole nature, which may happen alunst unobserved iu the torpor of despair. This kind of despair is chiefly griund don a fuoli.'-h belief that individual w -r Is or actions constitute the whole life of man; whereas th y are often not far repre seatatives of p rtious of that life.

REMARKABLE CASE OF ACCUMU LATION. 4 ' , An illustration of what a little money will become iu time, if put out on interest, aud prnpe.lj taken care of, is afforded by an 5iicidsJ reported ia the New York Journal of-Goaiujerce, by an old resident. Iles'ated that 50 years ago a beqnost of 510,000 was left to an idiot on L mg Island, ile ava then in his infancy, and is, conse quently, now. but little over 50 years of age. Soon after his fath-r's decease,' three respec table inhabitants of the eitv. all of whom are yet living, were appointed trustees for "the j care of the bequest, wirh authority to ap propriate $5Qv annually for the idiot's main enanee, which aas accordingly done.' This left at first but a small accumulation, but latterly the increase' has been rapid, and the principal now amounts to over SlQd.000. Should the party live fQ years longer, as is not improbable, he will die worjh a million of dollars. Pretty well for a fool. IIEALTn,"HOV TO RESERVE IT. Medicine will never remedy bad habits. It is utterly futile to think of living iu glut tony, intemperance, and "every excess, and keeping the body in health by medieine. Indulgence of ths appetite, and indiscrimi nate dosing and drugging have ruined the health and destroyed the life of" mire per sons' than fanjine, sword and pestilence. If you will take my advice, you wi 1 become regular iu your habits, eat and drink only wholesome things, sleep, on a mattrass, and retire and rise very regularly. Make a free use of water to purify the, skin, and when sick, take counsel of the best pbysiciau you know, aud follow nature. Water- Care Journal. The darkest hour of the night is just be fore the break of day. Though prosperity is a desirable state, adversity is often benefi cial. A man brought to. the ground isawak en'ed to a just perception of his duties, and takes courage to try again. Milton was blind when he fouud Paradise Lost, and Cowper, in great distress, when he transla ted II uner. Ye that are down bent, take fresh courage and try again. YOUNG GIRLS IN LOVE. M 11T an nniibic cud savs to herself, " I have read that love is passion, which of two j souls makes but one; which detaches them from everything, supplies the want of every thing, and makes their mutual happiness, their only care and desire. Such is love, ; and according to this idea of it, it will be very easy for me to distinguish in myself, and in others, the illusion .from ' tbe-a!iTy7' 0 her youn& Uviies'w'liom we have known, clmttcr about marriages being made up "ia heaven, and profess themselves fatalists &c., because their little foolish hearts have been trepanned with a love-attack, which if it could be properly viewed and considered, would not continue fir the space of two hours. They 'cherish it,' however, for a 1 nig timi; and find out sudehly how much they have decieved themselves. CURING LAZINESS. The dutch have a singular contrivance to cure laziness. If a pauper, who is able, re fuses to work they put him into a cistern, and let in a sluice of water. It comes iu just so fast that" by briskly plying a pump, with which the cistern is furnished, he keeps himself from drowning. HOW TO TEACH CHILDREN. The followii'g, from a sheet of Rev. Charles Brooks, of Boston, accords precisely with our notions of what constitutes the true u.ode of teaching the young: If you find an error in 5 the ; child's mind, follow it up till he ir rid of 'it'4-: If a' word is spelled ' wrong, ' ba sure that tbe class is right before it is dismissed. Repeat, aud fix attention on :hc exact error, tilt it can never be committed again One clear and distinct idea is worth a world of. musty ones."

Caldwell, i handed to Ru fus Barringer a note from tbe former con- taining a direct invitation to the field ; which " note the latter received and carried off. , Af ter delivering the note, I urged the necessity of a speedy arrangement, as public suspicion ' was already excited. He replied, that he naust have some three or four days to maka his arrangements. I then remarked, .that I could not remain in Concord, and asked, if he knew who would be his friend, and if be could get Dr. Henderson again. Ha replied, -he could not toll, for, Henderson, had acted before with reluctance, u I then told him, that if he could give me any intimation as"- to who his friend .would be, I would retire tio some point in the country and waitlonf him. He said, that he would meet ine on Sunday, the 7th inst, at the Tuckasiego : ford. I urged Saturday, the 6th, but ho in sisted on Sunday, and I acquiesced.' - ' I parted with hun under the full belief ; ' tnat tere wouia loe a meeting on tne neia " iue lono.wing wonuay, auu so( inioroiea , Cipt.
