Our weak voices - cannot be distinguished at a ; little distance ; 'and ' jnany times, like the mother of little Samuel, our! , A hearts pray,' wKen our lips do not speak. God, - who is. everywhere,; hears all who pour out their hearts, to Him. . This is wonderful, and past our ; 'understanding ; but it is nevertheless true. 'f ; .To such as strive, in the love and fear of God, j ' 'I to do His will, it is a pleasant, though awful thought, that He sees all we do, and hears all we r say; and .that not only so, but lie knows alscfour thbughts before even we know them.. His eye is everywhere,' beholding the evil and the good. The : child. who remembers this great truth is a good counsellor for the man who dares to forget it. -We met fiot long sincein our, reading, an anecdote t winch raav well be repeated in this place. A man who5 was in the habitiof going to a neighbors corn . .. field to steal the grain, one day took his son, of . about eight . years old'with him. 'The father told him to hold the bag, while he looked on to watch if any one was near to see him. After standing on the fence and, peeping through all the ! rows of corn, he returned to take the bag from the V ' child, and began his 6inful work. " Father," said the boy, "you forgot to look somewhere else.'1 Which way, child 1" supposing he had seen sqme ie " You fortrot to look-up to the skv. to see if one. God was notiping you." The father felt this reproof , of the child so much, that he left the corn-field, afitd returned home, and never again ventured to eteal ; remembering the truth that he had learned from the child, that the eye of God always beholds us. ' . ' ' - " f Such an occurrence as this may rerhind" the read er of the saying, of loly Scripture Oat of the I mouths of babes thbuthast perfected praise." Un .';' fortunately, too maiij- men, wise in the wisdom of I this world, are prone io forget God.

" , V" About forty years ago there lived in that castle a noble genllenian, whom we shall cal Baron . : X He had only one son, who was not only a" co'tnfort . to hia -father, but a blessing to all who lived ou his . father's land. . ' - . .. .. 7 : "It happened on' a certain occasion that this . young man being from home, there came a French : jrentleman to set; the castle, who began' to talk' of his heavenly .Father in terms that chilled the old man's flood ; on which the Baron Reproved him saying,. 'Are. you not afraid of offending God, who ;' reigns above, by. speaking in such a manner f - ' The gentleman said he knew nothing about God, lot, he had never seen him. . The Baron this time ; lil not notice what the gentleman said, but the i next morning took him ' about his castle-grounds. -iind -took occasion first to showhim avery beautiful ' .picture that hung xn the wall. The gentleman " iulmired the picture very much and said, ' Whoever ; drew this picture, knows very well how to 'use the pencij.' ; , ; " '.My sorf 'drew the picture,' said the Baron. ;" 'Then your son is a , clever man ' replied the eman. .

" t Who h-as the ordering of this garden V asked , .- the gentleman. , ' - ' ' " ';My son, replied the Baron ; 'he knows every plant, I may say," from the cedar of Lebanon to the s 'byssop on the wall,' ; f 1 . ' " ' Indeed;' said tlie gentleman ; L- shall think I . vonr ViififTilw rvf lirm nnn 1 ! , ; . ! " The Baron then took him into the village and , sbowed him.ia ' small, neat cottage, where nis son . had established a school, and where he caused all . ydung children who had lost their parents to be ."received and nourished at his own expense. The children in the house looked so innocent and so happy, that the gentleman was very-much pleased, . and when ; he returned to the- castle he said v'to the Baron," '' Wliat a happy man you " are to have so vgood"a son !'.' ; ' " "' How do you know I have so good a son,?' i .";' - Beca"use'I ' have' seen his works, and I know ' 'that he must be good and clever, if he has done all that 'ybu have showed me,' ; - y " ' But you have not seen him.' !

I , -know by bis works that he is ; a being of infinite '- wisdom, affd power, and goodness.' " '. . The scoffer was silenced. He had jabswered-his own ' "wickedness and folly by his own wVds, .and " could say no more. It is not the w'isest who scoff ' - at rehgion and piety ; for true wisdom begins in the fear, of the Lord. And gratitude presses us tb love v o good & being, and to be heedful of all the means '..which" He has appointed, by winch we may learn His will,- and obey His commandments. Foremost among these, are the reading of His Word, and the duty of prayer By the first we learn our duty,-and r by tlie second are assisted to do it Nor should we ever profane or misimprdve the Christian Sabbath. There are many perverse thoughts and temptations I which j ould?way us to error, r neglitrence in this respect : but there is a ery bUT rhyme, -which is worthyj of being committed to memorttes a check "'.upon tlie desire to: neglect our religious duties j It ' . "A Sabbath well spent f Brings a week, of content; And health for the toils of tojnorrow ; But a Sabbath profaned, l Whatsoe'er may be gained, -'.! Is a certain forerunner ol sorrow." j . This is a ditty very simple in its "language ; and it is as true as it is easily understood. It was writ ten two hundred years ago,and by a very distinguish ed person, s Sir Mitthew Hale. Sir Matthew) was ia judge in 'England, and made many decisions iin I cases which came before him, which are frequently jeferred to even, now by o'ur lawyers and judges; but he never made a decision embodying more truje wisdom than is contained in those lines. He was so studious that it is related of him that he studied sixteen hours out of the twenty-four ; and his Sun day's repose and the calmness of his devotion gave hiin strength for the great' labors' which he accom plished. . Let us all then,4while we remember that Goa is everywhere, and that His wisdom is sfeen in His wprksr acknowledge- and obey the wisdom which made the Sabbath, for man, and blessed the , seventh day, and hallowed it. Mentor. - v ANECDOTE OF A SNOW-BIRD. We did not know, until the other day, that the lJttle ehick-a-de-de,j whose song we have tried to tfaiiblate, was such an affectionate creature. There k a little book, published in England, called " Early Days," which tells" a story about a pair of these birds ; and. since reading the story we have loved this winter warbler more than ever as we are sure ourreaders will doj , when they are made acquaint ea with tne story which .we intend to tell tuem. Ihis little bird,-' -it seeins, is knownln Ireland by the name-of blue-bonnet. Its food consists of grain and insects, especially the latter, in 'search of which it may be seen hopping from branch to branch, ill every position, sometinies with its head downward. On a cold day, m the month of 'March last sq says the book before mentioned ne of these birds hopped into the house of a friend . of mine, near Belfast, and commenced pieking crumbs about the J J3 '1,11 1 . i l jioor ana laoies, wnen alter remaining tor several . hours, it took its leave. -Next day it returned, and alighted on the top of a cage, where it seemed to form an acquaintance with a goldfinch. The cage, door was opened, and the blue-bonnet went in, and remained all day picking seeds with the goldfinch; At jnight the strange prisoner w;as released ; but as it showed no disposition to leave the house, it was allowed to remain in the parlor. ' J3ut the next mosuing, while the servant was opening the window- shutter, the room being quite dark, she unconciously- set her toot on the poor; bird and killed, it It was. afterwards thrown out, and its untimely death soon! forgotten.' But during the course of the ay, the attention of some one was drawn to au affecting scene out-; side, before the parjor windows. " The mate of the-blue-bonnet wras standing beside it, mourning its; loss in plaintive tones. . It then stretched out its. ' neck, and putting its beak below the head of its companion, raised it up, and then sang as before.;' Afterwards it attempted .to remove the body, but was unable, ; At length it flew away, and after some time returned, carrying a gkain of corn, which it, dropped before its dead partner. Then it fluttered: I with its wkigs, making an effort to be joyful, ., and-: endeavored to cqg the attention qf t)ie dead bird to ! the corn. Finding this useless also, it again flew f Away, and returned with another grain, which it ' deposited in the same manner. It then lifted the grain, and dropped it ,upon I its mate's beak, con-; tinuing to do this for several minutesi ' Then it re- j suiued its plaintive"; notes,; but the sight was too j affecting, arid a person was-sent out to remove the dead bird. ; J ' . , -." At that moment," said a spectator, " I would : have given any thing in my possession to have ! sQen the poor blue-bonnet restored to life." ' A lady, on a cold morning, seeing all the win dows and. blinds of a wealthy bachelor's room thrown wide open, enquired .the reason of it. 'f'Oh," said he, " it's merely to . let in mf only sun and air. To yield to the passions is to give up the strug- f gle and to acknowledge ourselves better ; but to contend to" the last is to earn the .reward of the faithful. ' -: . '- j The first Bloomer, Punch thinks",- was Joan of ' Arc, who wore a short tunic1 with tights, and was otherwise clad in mail attire. LOCAL ; NEW BOOKS.

JNo legitimate, department ol literature will be excluded from the Magazine, and it is presumed none will be held objectionable, provided the article be thoroughly winnowed of the chaff of improprieties!. Every effort will be exerted to interest its readers with oqginalty, and enlighten with valuable information. We do jnot indeed expect to E reduce aught 'which the World will not willing let die;' ut as we are aiding iu the purpose which has placed us at College, on this account we may justly expect encouragement. To those who take an interest in us personally, and to those who' sympathise to any degree ;in the) ends which prompt us, we appeal unceremoniously and with Aure hopes ot success.
