MISCELLANIES. 



TO A CHILD. 



Thy nipmory as a spoil 



Of love, comes o'er my iniiid— 

 A<; (lew upon the jairple bell — 



As perfume on llie wind — 

 As music ou ihe se;t — 



As sunshine on tho river — 

 So halli it alwavs been to me. 



So sball il be forever.

anil a better cordial than an tetlier. Dr. Raid 

 gives a similar opinion in the following ex])ressivo 

 passage: "The habitnal horror which thus over- 

 shadows the mind, darkens the little daylight of 

 Ufe. An indulgence in this morbid excess of ap- 

 prehension not only embitters a man's existence, 

 but may often tend to shorten its duration. He 

 hastens the advance of death, by the fear with 

 which his frame is seized at its real or imaginary 

 approach. His trembhng hand involuntary shakes 

 the glass in which his hours are numbered." 



Contradictory as it may api)ear, there are well 

 attested instances of persons who have been driv- 

 en even to suicide by the dread of dissolution. It 

 would seem as if they liad run into the arms of 

 death in order to shelter themselves from the ter- 

 ror of his countenance — Quar. Ri:v.

 most sanguuie friend of temperance could have 

 expected. — Salem Gazette. 



Tlie toad. — An English fanner on the 20th May, 

 1826, inclosed a small toad in a garden pot, ren- 

 ilercd air tight, and buried it in the ground ; and 

 on the 14th May, 1828, in presence of a witness, 

 he dug up the pot, and found the toad not only 

 alive, but hearty, and apparently in a thriving con- 

 dition, as it had grown considerably ; the lustre of 

 its brilliant eyes a])pearing to be not a whit di- 

 minished by its long incarceration. 



Dr. Macartney, the anatomical professor in Dub- 

 lin, with about fifty other surgeons, have begun 

 the patriotic work of surrendering up their own 

 bodies for dissection, liy signing, with all due sol- 

 Method, as Mrs. More says, is the very hinge of emnity,_aii order to their respective executors to 

 business ; and there is no method without punctu- '"^' eftect. Allnon.

ality. Punctuality is important, because it sub- 

 serves the peace and good temper of a famity ; the 

 want of it not only infringes on necessary duty, 

 but sometimes excludes this duty. Punctuality is 

 important as it gains time ; it is like packing things 

 in a box, a good packer Mill get in half us luuch 

 more as a bad one. The calmness of mind v.'hich 

 it ]iroduces, is another advantage of punctuality :

It weighed upwards of a

 dreaded death so much at a distance, seems to 

 have feared it as little on his arrival as other peo- 

 ple ; and we believe that to many persons with 

 right views, who have had a liberal allowance of 

 sickness and sorrow, death becomes an object not 

 so much of apprehension as of curiosity and inter- 

 est. This state of mind is not only necessary for 

 our comfort during healtii, but for our safety dur- 

 ing sickness. One of the ablest physicians alive, 

 once said that in a dangerous illness, cateris pari- 

 bus, a christian would have a better chance of re- 

 covery than an unbeliever — that religious resigna- 

 tion was a better soothing medicine than a poppy.
