Lest, however, any of you ladies nhould take exception against me in the very outset, I will merely remark en-passant, that a man can sometimes , become an old bachelor, because he has too much heart, as well as too little. ;:::z: Years aso, ibcttlre'anTlrL joulaiTres "were born, I was a little good-for- naughtofa boy, of precisely that un lucky sort, who are always iit every body's way and always in mischief. I had to watch over my uprearing, a ta ther and mother, ana a whole army I tif brothers and sisters. As I have be fire insinuated, I was a sort of a faml 1 v scape grace among them, and one on whose head all domestic trespasses were regularly vtsiteJ, either by real desert or by imputation. For this or- tier of things, I confess, there was a so - lid and seriojs foundation in the con i stitution of my mind. Whether I was born under some cross-eyed planetj or whether I was fairy stricken in mv cradle certain it is, that I was a sort of " Murad the unlucky," an out of i time, out of place sort ot boy, with ' v horn nothing prospered, vv no ai M'srs left doors onon in cold weather? It was Henry. Who waa sure toover- . set his cones cup at breakfast or ; knock over bis tumbler at dinner, or " to prostrate the salt-cellar, pepper-box and mustard pot, if he only happened to move his arm? Why Henry. Who was plate-breaker general to the farai- lv? It waa Henrv. Who taneledl mama's silks and cottons, or tore up the last newspaper, or threw down old Phoebe's clothes horse with the clean ironinz thereupon? Vh? Henry. Now all this was no malice prepense Mn me. I really believe, 1 was the best natured child in the world out some- thins-was the matter with the attrac tion of cohesion, or the attraction of gravitation, with the general lispnsa t on of matter around ine that let me do what I would, things would fall rlnwnor break, or b torn or damaged if I.-oHU'-ne-ear-tncmi-n4--iny-ttB- luckiness seemed Tn exact proportion to my carefulness in any matter. If any body in the room with me had ' a head ache, or any kindof nervous. ir ,, li lability, which nade.it particularly -necessary to bo quiet, and if, I was es pecially desired to be sd, I was sure while stopping round oii tip-toe', to fall headlong . ever -a chair, which would . fall upon the shovel, which would fall upon the tongs, which would animate the poker, and altogether would act in action two of thre? stif k ofwd, arid down ther would all come wittria rack- 'Tt, that showed they were disposed to make as much of the opportunity as possible. in the same manner, any thing tt came into my hands or was at all con nected with me, was sure to lose by it. If I appeared in a clean apron in the morning, I was sure to make a full length prostration thereupon on my way to school, and come home nothing better, but rather worse. ' If I waa sent on tn errand, I was sure to lose my money in going, or my purchase in re turning; and on these occasions my mo ther would often eorafbrt me with the reflection that it was well mr ears were fastened to my head, or I would lose them too. Of course I was a fair mark r the exhortary powers not .only of j parents, out oi all my aunts, ancles and cousins to the third and fourth ce- "rrawon, wno reaseq not to reprove, rebuke and exhort with all long suflVr "g and doctrine.

Now an uiis was very wen. v hat should a child want but meat and drink and room to play, and a school to teach him reading and writing, and some body to take care ol h ini when Jie h'tngT- But the feelings Gertarntytioth of grown up children exist in the minds ot lit tte e?oftatt i.ttAi-eW::trririgirtt srne keen sense of all that touched the heart wrong, the same longing for something which should touch it aright, the ame discontent-with latent matter of covert affection, the same' craving far sympathy, which has been the un profitable fashion of the world in all axes. And no human being possess iSg such constitutionals, has a better chance of neing made unhappy by them, than. the "act ward, uninteresting, wrong-doing child. Wecanallsym paltiTse to someexlentwitir men and women, but how few can go back to the sympathies of children, can understand tfie desolate insignificance of not being one of the grown-up people of being sent to bed to be out of the way in the evening, and to school to Jw out of the way in themorningfl-tof 4nanifold simi lar grievances, which the child has no eloquence to set forth, and the grown person no imagination to conceive. .When I was seven years oldT I was told one morning with considerable do mestic -acclamation,- that -Vtwtt-Juarjf was coming to make us a visit; and-so when the carriage drove up to the door I pulled off my dirty apron and ran in among the heap of brothers and sisters to see what was coming. I shall not describe her first appear ance, for as I think of her I begin to grow sentimental in spite of my spec tacles, and might perhaps talk a little nonsense. " ' Perhaps every man, whether married or single, who has lived to the age of fifty or thereabouts, has seen some wo man, who in his mind, is the woman in distinction from all others. She may not have been a wife. She may not have been a relative. She may have simply shone upon him from afar. She may be remembered in the distance of years as a star that has set as music that is hushed as beauty and loveli ness faded forever but remembered she is with interest, with fervor, with enthusiasm, with all that heart can feel and more than words can tc)t. To me there has been but one such, and that is she whom I describe. "Was she beautiful?" you ask. 1 also will ask. you one question. If an angel from Hca- ven should dwell in any human form and animate any human face, would not that face ami form be lovely? She was not beautiful except after this ashionrHoW'Well I emeinber her. as she used sometimes to sit thinking with her head resting on her hand- he r face mild and placid, wih a quiet Oc tober sunshine io her blue eyes, and an ever present smile upon her whole countenance. I remember the sudden sweetness of her look when any one spoke to her the prompt attention the quiet comprehension of things be fore you uttered them the obliging readiness to leave whatever she was doing for you. To those who mistake, occasional pensiveness for melancholy, it might seem strange to say, my Annt Mary was always nappy. ct she wax so ber spirits never rose to buoyancy and never sunk to despondency; and know, in the sen ti men tat confession of, faith, that such a character cannot be interesting. For this impression there is some ground. I he placidity of i medium common place mind it unin teresting, but the placidity of a strong and well governed one, borders on the sublime mutability of emotion char acterizes inferior orders of beings but lie who combines all interest all excitement all perfection is "the Ram a-atrtla- ti-la anil frrr And if there be any thins: sublime in the idea of an almighty mind in perfect peace wim iiseii, ana inereiore ai lei sure to bestow all its energies en the wants of others, there is at least a re flection of the same sublimity in the character of that human being who has so quieted and governed; the world within, that he lias nothing; to absorb sympathy or distract attention from those around. Such a woman was my Aunt Mary. Her. placidity was not so much the result of temperament as of cnoice. sue nan every susceptibility of suffering, incident to the noblest & most delicate cojistrnctiofmindxb.uiL that instead of nmeeBtrmiin'jg'MdughWielr,' they had prepared her ..to, understand and feel lor others. Slit was boyond all" ny, with all the colouring and shading around it. Other women hare been talented others have becn;enodhuilT 'goodness and talent in union with such an intuitive perception of feelings, and such an instantaneous adaptation to them. , K The most troublesome thing in the world, is to "be condemned to the soci ety of a person who can never under stand a thing unless you say the whole of it: making your commas and periods as you go along; and the most desira ble thing is to live with a person who saves you all the trouble of talking by knowing just what you mean to say be fore vou beffin. Something of this kind relief, when Aunt Mary came into the Rmiljiw. I rentembec theycry. hrt rounded by - all ' the "circle; her eye glanced on me, with an expression that let me know she saw rnt and when the clock struck eight, and my mother proclaimed it to be my bed time, and my countenance fell as I moved sor rowfully from the back ot her rocking chair, and thought how many beautiful stories Aunt Mary would tell after I was gone to bed ; . she turned towards me with-soch a look of real u nderstand ing, such an evident insight into the case, that I went into banishment with a lighter heart than I ever did before. How very contrary is the obstinate estimate of the heart, to the rational estimate of worldly wisdom. Are there not some who can remember when one word, one look, -or even the withhold ing of a word, has d rawn the heart more fit a person than all the sub stantial favors in the world? Before Aunt Mary had lived with us a month, 1 loved her more than any body. in. the world; and a utilitarian would have been amazed in ciphering out the a mount of -favor "whicVpr od ucedllie re sult. It was a word a look a smile it was that she seemed pleased with my new kite that she rejoiced with me when I learned to spin a top that she alone appeared to appreciate my proficiency in playing ball and mar bles that she never looked at a!J vex ed when I upset her work box, and re ceived all my awkwmrd gallantry ahJ maladroit helpfulness, as if it had been in the best taste in the world that when she was sick, she insisted upon letting me wait upon her, though I made my customary havoc among the pitchers and tumblers of her room, & displayed through my zeal to please, a more than ordinary insufficiency for my station. She also was the only per son I ever converted with; and I used to wonder how any body who could talk about matters and things with the grown up folks could talk so sensibly about marbles and tops, and hoops and skates, and all sorts of little boyish matters. I will say, by the by, that the same speculation has often occur red to older people concerning her. She knew the value of varied informa tioa in making a woman not a ped-: ant, but a sympathetic, companionable being and such-she was to every class of mind. She had, too, the faculty of drawiilgolheraiutoher level of conver sation, so that I would often find bit self going on in most profound style, and would wonder whether I was a little boy still, --When she -bad enlightened us for many months, the time rame tor her to leave, and she besought my mother to give rnt to her for company. All the family wondered what she could find to like in Henry; but it she did like me, it was no matter, and so I was allowed to go. From, that time I lived with her; -and there are some persons who can make the word 'live' signify much more than it commonly does; and she wrought upon my char acter all those miracles which a benev olent genius can work. She quieted rrv heart, directed mv fetlinss. un- , j - rj3 folded my mind, and educated me. not harshly or by force, but as the sun educates the flower into full and per feet life; and when all that was mor tal of her died to the world, her words and deeds of unalterable love shed a twilight around her memorr. which wilt fade only in the brightness of Heaven. ,'. ; Fete of a Goat A fellow carrying a large looking glass coverd with green baize, lately stopped at Linclon's Iun fields, and stopping to see an ex hibition of Punch and Judy, placed his t .
