EXTRACTS. 

 [The following extracts are reprinted by request.) 



Oh ! if there is one law above the rest 



Written in wisdom — if there is a word 



That I would trace as with a pen of fire, 



Upon the unsullied temper of a child ; 



If there is anything that keeps the mind 



Open to angel visits, and repels 



The ministry of ill, 'tis human loi-c ! 



******■?**♦ 



The law of Heaven is love, and though its name 



Has been usurped by passion, and profaned 



To its unholy uses through all time, 



Still the eternal principle is pure ; 



And in these deep aSections that we, feel 



Omnipotent within us, we but see 



That Heaven is beautiful.— A'. P. Herald. 



Yet oh, blue deep ! 



Thou that no trace of human heart dost keep. 

 Never to thee did love, with silvery charm, 



Draw my soul's dream, which through all nature sought 

 What waves deny, — some bower for steadfast bliss : 

 \ home to twine with fancy, feeling, thought, 

 As with sweet flowers. But chastened for this. 

 Now turns from earth's green valleys as from thee. 



To that sole, changeless v/orld, where " there is no more sea.' 



With thee to watch the sky. 

 Speaking not— feeling but that thou wert nigh— 

 With thee to listen, while the tones of song. 

 Swept e'en as part of our sweet air along ; 

 To listen silently, — with thee to gaze 

 On forms, the defied of olden days, — 

 This had been joy enough ; — and hour by hour. 

 From its glad well-springs drinking life and power, 

 Haw had my spirit soared. — Mrs Hemans. 



If hitherto we have not said we loved. 

 Yet hath the heart of each declared its love, 

 By all the tokens wherein love delights. 

 We heretofore have trusted in each other — 

 Too wholly have we trusted, to have now made 

 Of words, or vows, pledges or protestations, 

 Let not such trust be hastily dissolved.

THE VICINITY OF BOSTON. 



We know of nothing more pleasant at this season, 

 to an inhabitant of the city, than to escape lor 

 awhile from its dust and noise, and hreathe the 

 pure air of heaven, cooling as it sweeps over the 

 cloud-capped hill, or fragrant from the green and 

 verdant fields — to exchange the brick wall.s and 

 pavement of the city, for the velvet walks, the 

 green fields, and the beautiful landscapes which 

 are spread around us by the hand of Providence. 

 The vicinity of Boston affords gratification of this 

 <lescription for every variety of taste. If you are 

 inclined to meditation, and love to walk where the 

 grave sheds its calm and holy quiet — where the 

 rose and the honeysuckle hlooni and wave over 

 the grave of love and beauty — go to Mount Au- 

 burn : it will make the heart better, to cominune fur 

 n. while with the dead — to call up the images of 

 the loved and lost of our youth, and to think of 

 the deep and solemn truths of heaven and eter- 

 nity. 



" Why should the grave he terrible ? * * * 

 Does the gay flower scorn the grave? — the dew 

 Forget to kiss the turf? — the stream 

 Refuse to bathe it? — or the beam 

 Of moonlight shun the narrow bed 



Where the tired pilgrim rests his head ? 

 No ! the moon is there, and smiling too ! 

 And the sweetest song of the morning liinl. 

 Is oft in the ancient yew tree heard." 



Do you love the beauties of nature and art coni- 

 biued.' — goto Jamaica Plain, Brookline, or Rox- 

 bury : the first is the most perfect picture of rural 

 beauty, we have ever seen. The level plain, sur- 

 rounded by hills, reminding you of Johnson's Ras- 



selas the beautiful pond, studded by splendid and 



picturesque country-seats, showing a fine taste in 

 their architecture and ornamental grounds — not 

 to forget mine host at the hotel, who gives you 

 animal enjoyments with a good grace, and small 

 encroachment on your purse — all combine to 

 render it one td' the most desirable resorts in our 

 vicinity. 



Then there is the "incipient city," East Boston, 

 with the splendid Maverick House — Chelsea, with 

 its beautiful hills and fine springs — Charlestown, 

 "where the people sliow'd the rig'ars tlie law," as 

 Job Pray would say; its Prison and Convent ruins, 

 Cambridge, and its classical grounds and buikliugs, 

 and its unique church — and South Boston, with 

 its fine views and public institutions. In short, 

 all may be suited — from the maiden who, in the 

 purity and guilelessness of her heart, thinks she 

 could almost live on love, and die on roses, to the 

 matron who has learned that love too often leaves 

 its sting, and that each rose conceals a thorn ; 

 from the joyous school-hoy, who thinks life is all 

 a sunny landscape, to the gray-haired old inan, 

 who has seen how frail and fleeting arc the beau- 

 tiful things of earth, and who has felt the chill 

 hand of care wither and blast the fairest pros- 

 pects of life. — Boston Mirror. 



Tobacco. — The attack on alcohol has proved 

 highly successful : And, different from other con- 

 tests, the victory does not cottsist in destroying 

 lives, hut in saving them. The war, indeed, is 

 not over ; the friends of temperance have yet 

 much to accomplish, and if they would be faith- 

 ful soldiers in the laudable contest in which they 

 have engaged, Ihcy must persevere. The ne,xt 

 enemy to be subdued is Tobacco. We are glad 

 to see that able men have taken the field against 

 this unclean demon. The early settlers of this 

 country have been sneered at for condemning the 

 use of this vile and poisonous weed. But their 

 sentence against it is now fully confirmed by in- 

 telligent physicians, and all benevolent men of 

 science. Tobacco is not only as nauseous and un- 

 natural as the intoxicating draught, but perma- 

 nently injurious to health. The free use of it is 

 also a tax ; and that should be an objection with a 

 poor man who has a family to support. The 

 voice of philosophy as well as of nature is now 

 raised against it. There is some new light on 

 this subject. Let the wise attend to it. We feel 

 sure of the aid of the ladies in this reform, as well 

 as that of temperance. And it vvill .prove pow- 

 erful. 



The price ok Learning. — When a king asked 

 Euclid, the mathematician, whether he could not 

 explain his heart to him in a more compendious 

 mannpr ? he was answered that there was no 

 royal way to geometry. Other things may be 

 seized by might, or purchased with money, but 

 knowledge is to be gained only by study, and 

 study to be prosecuted only in retirement.
