THE MANSION OP PEACE. 

 As I stood on the lull that o'oi looks the dear tot 

 Where mv Kate find my little ones dwell, 

 I said, if the splendor of kings were ray lot, 

 I'd prefer my own daisy grown dell. 

 Though humble my w rkei, and shaitcr'd^iy lalrli, 

 An I the will Is my mile lattice hayr rent. 

 Though my mansion is low and all covered with thatch, 

 •Twas the mansion of peace and the home of content. 



Though twelve weary months have now wasted away, 



Since my Kate an I my cottage 1 left, 



Tho igh the hardships ol fate I ve encounler'd l.y day, 



Ami of.-leep I've at night been bereft ; 



Yet oh ! !f m v Kaie and my hide ones live, 



Bhould they smile «i'h l he blessing of health, 



The hardships ol life I'll forever forgive; 



For in them I've a world lull of wealth. 



As I spoke 1 beheld my hiv'tl Kate at the door, 



And my little ones plny'd by her -idc, 



Let the en test come on, let the wind loudly roar, 



la the moment of madness 1 cried; 



No longer I ans'd in a Irnnspi n so true, 



For never seeill'd nn rials so hlesi. 



To her dear- o;u'ii aims I instantly flew. 



And let those who have beans speak the rest. 



At eve my dear little ones clang round my knees, 



As I kiss'd ihem a thousan 1 times o'er, 



What raplure 1 cried can he equal to these! 



Tis heaven alone can give more — 



Though huui'ile my wicket and shalier'd my latch, 



And the winds my rude la lice have real, 



I rind in my man. ion that's covcr'd with thatch, 



Still the mansion of peace and the home of content. 



"HERB AND THEME FOLKS." 



'Vis thy seroant w ts busy here ani thtre, he was 

 gone." — 1 King* xs. 40. 



It is an abundance of'siieli here anil there bnsi- 

 ii ss that occasions a contsidewhle |iortii>n of tl k j 

 pinching wants of the present Mi v ; yea, of the loo 

 frequent instances of dcadi-hed repentance, in this 

 age of Btir |iriiliaiiitn ; antl alas! at a critical nni- 

 llielit of our lives like this, ill which ihu Almighty 

 1' 9 visited ns with affliction anil |icstilcncc, when 

 tvs (liny emphatically place our hands on our hearts 

 ami fee) " that in the midst of life we are in death." 

 A small farm, cultivated with the utmost dili- 

 Ctice ami care, will furnish a prudent family with 

 a moderate sufficiency. " He that has a trade 

 tins an estate," cv. n although he own neither house 

 norland, lint if the farmer and trader; instead "I 

 attending closely to their proper callings, are husy 



|. ire and there, ihev will assured ly " out ai 



the little end of-lhe horn," Moreover, though they 

 buttle down, lite one to his farm ihe other to his 

 trade; yet, if their wives anil daughters, instead of 

 practising the like industry and the like good man- 

 agement willtiu doors, are husy here: and there, 

 «' what is brought in at the dour goes out at the win- 

 dow," — ill is gone.. 



S re yon thai farm overgrown with thistles and 

 thorns ami briars, anil its fences broken down. 

 How comes it about ! Is the owner one of Solo- 

 mon?* sleepers ! No, he is not a sluggard, he is a 

 very Htirring man : he is busy here and there, but 

 seldom in the proper place. Perhaps he is doing 

 head work abroad : is c buffering in burses, or cat- 

 tle, or sheep, or is a peddling over the country, oi- 

 ls pursuing in a small way, some other schemes ot 

 speculation ; or peradventme he litis eiiher got a 

 little comttii stun that occupies his attention, or is 



seeking after one ; m whichever case " the halm 

 writing upon the wall" clearly shows what he i- 

 I'.omiiig to. 



Lo, an auction! What's for sale ! The goods 

 if a grocer, and the tools of a mechanic Are liny 

 uofligates ? No. Are ihev inanimate clods? I'm 

 otherwise. What then ? They are lovers of eltal, 

 ot' company, of fun, ami so instead of attending dil- 

 igently to their calling, they were " busy here ami 

 there." 



Mark the interior of that house, — no useful in- 

 dustry goes on, — no order, — nothing is in its right 

 |,|,ic,., — more wasted than is eaten. Is the house- 

 wife a Dill ? So Car mini wise, she is one of the 

 most sprightly and lady-like women in the place, 

 but she has no tunc; to bestow upon the affairs ol 

 her household, — she is " busy here and there." 



Look upon that comely young man in the hands 



of a Bailiff, — has he c milted any crime? Ndi 



so, bis replication is fair, — bow conns it then ? 

 He is in debt. Is he wanting in faculties? lie 

 possesses excellent facull'n s both of body and mind. 

 Is be indolent ? No ; he is quick i >tion till tin- 

 day long. How happens il then that a single mall 

 who never met with any misfortune, is unable to 

 pay bis debts? lie has been "busy here and 

 there." 



" Not ready," says the sly lawyer when the rase 

 is called up, and when the witnesses have been 

 waiting at court day after day. And why mil 

 ready ? being busy "here and lliere," something 

 has been forgotten or neglected by hilll. Here tin 

 circumstances are, however, materially altered. Il 

 tile not ready lawyer obtains a c.olil'uillHUce, he in- 

 creases thereby his own emoluments- Fai'tly "by 

 bis craft he has wealth." It is the pigeons only 

 that are picked.

 friend added — If 1 do. not deceive myself, that 

 man is the murderer of your father, — remain while 

 thev are discussing the adventure, and 1 will goto

Returning soon after he arrested the individual 

 suspected and conducted llilli to prison. On search- 

 ing him, they discovert d 1 lie merchiihl's watch

 ihe confessor on the scaffold. 



Why are while hats and dresses worn in sum- 

 mer? Because dark colo s absorb must heat j 

 white, therefore, repels most beat, and is cooler 

 wear. A white dress in winter is good, hi cause it 

 radiates or receives little heat. Polar animals have 

 generally light furs. While hoists are both less 

 healed in the sun, and less (billed in winter, than 

 lliose of darker hues.

THE DOG OP COGNIOU. 



A paper merchant established at Marseilles, weiu 

 in 1718 on a journey III Toulon, and was ass.si-i- 

 imtcd mi his return in the wood of Cogniou. Not- 

 withstanding the strict inquiries mane by the son 

 and widow of the deceased, they could not fall 

 upon the track of the murderer. 



Sixjnontbs thus passed away, about which time 

 ibe merchant's sou entered one day a ci lice-house, 

 where several persons where peaceably assembled. 

 Immediately bis father's dog that had nccniupahi.-il 

 bun, s/ruug with \'ury upon a tall lean man who 

 was enjoying the company of ladies. Astonished til 

 this sudden attack, ever} one. rushed forward lore- 

 strain llu: furious annual, — they beat hilll will, 

 sticks, strove to draw him off by force, — but all in 

 vain, — ihe dog redoubled bis rage, and continued 

 to bite his victim, who was pale with fright. 



They then applied lo bis master, who with the 

 iilmosl difficulty made him release his prisoner, aim 

 could only do so by cptiekly leaving the place, 

 when the dog followed him. But having gom 

 about a hundred steps, the animal returned, re-en- 

 tered the coffee-house anil again sprung upon tin 

 man. 



There was at this alarming scene, all individua 

 who hull been con ted in business with the de- 

 l-eased, — and he asked tin: son, who was struck 

 with amazement, if his father had not that ihu. 

 with him on his melancholy journey to Toulon. 

 Yes, replied the son, he returned to the house liihj 

 before we had intelligence of the calamity whicl 

 has ruined us. 



Dining this private conversation, the master win
