SEPT. 30, 1S35. 



A NEW SONG. 

 If thou wouldst have me sing and play 



As once I play'd and sung, 

 Fir3t take this time-worn lute away. 



And bring one freshly strung; 

 Call back the time when pleasure's sigh 



First brealh'd among the strings; 

 And time himself, in flitting by. 



Made music with his wings. 

 Take, take the worn-out lute away. 



And bring one newly strung. 

 If thou wouldst have me sing and play 



As once I play'd and sung. 



But how is this'? Though new the hite 



And shining fre.sh the chords, 

 Bencith this hand they slumber, mute. 



Or speak but dreamy words! 

 In vain I seek the soul that dwelt 



Within that once sweet shell. 

 Which told so warmly what it felt. 



And felt — what nought can tell. 

 Oh, ask not, then, for passion's lay 



From lute so coldly strung. 



With this I ne'er can sing or play 



As once I played and suiig. 



No: bring that long-loved lute again! 



Though chilled by years it be, 

 If thou wilt call the slunib'ring strain, 



'Twill wake again for thee. 

 Though time have froz'n the tuneful stream 



Of thoughts that gush'd along, 

 One look from thee, like summer's beam. 



Will thaw them into song. 

 Then give, oh give that nak'ning ray! 



And once more blithe and young, 

 Thy bard again will sing and play. 



As once he play'd and sung. 



The phtsicia.n. — No class or profession li;is 

 better o])portiit)ities tlititi the physician, for the 

 close and accurate stnrly of the nature of man. 

 He sees men under all circiniistances, and talks 

 familiarly with them ahotit all tlieir troiiblrs. Men 

 conceal nothing from a physician in whom they 

 confide; they unburden their whole souls to him, 

 and entrust him wi(h the knowledije of all those 

 secret affections which oppress their hearts and 

 create disease. They tell him all their weak- 

 nesses, which they would be ashamed to acknowl- 

 edge to another person who might be inclined to 

 despise them for the confession. They do not 

 fear, however, that by such acknowledgment they 

 shall forfeit the e.steem of one who is familiar 

 with the, mental as well as the physical infirmities 

 of human nature. Those persons are most apt to 

 feel the sentiment of contempt who are the most 

 ignorant of themselves and of their fellow men. 



eyes of an admiring world. Hence, the physician 

 is seldom an iilolator of men; for it is chiefly 

 when the great are reduced to a level with the 

 little, that he is most intimate with them. — Boston 

 Post. 



To MAiiF. HOME HAPPV. — Nature is industrious 

 in adorning her dominions ; and inan, to whom 

 this beauty is addressed, should feel iind obey the 

 lesson. Let him, too, be industrious in adorning 

 his domain — in making his liome — the dwelling 

 of his wife and children — not only convenient and 

 comfortaliie, hut pleasant. Let him, as far as cir- 

 cunii=tances will permit, be industrious in siir- 

 rouniling it with jdeasing objects — in decorating 

 it, within and without, with things that tend to 

 make it agreeable and attractive. Let industry 

 make home the abode of neatness and order — a 

 place which brings satisfaction to every inmate, 

 find which in absence draws back the heart by the 

 fond associations of comfort and content. Let 

 this be done, and this sacred spot will become 

 more surely the scene of cheerfulness, kindness, 

 and peace. Ye parents, who would have your 

 children happy, be industrious to bring thein up 

 in the midst of a pleasant, a cheerful, a hajipy 

 home* Waste not your time in accumulating 

 wealth for them : but plant their minds and souls, 

 in the way proposed, with the seeds of virtue and 

 true prosperity.

.'VcquAiNTANCK. — Nothing improves more than 

 some people upon acquaintance ; the most repul- 

 sive often become the most attractive — so much 

 depends upon manners, and so little upon merit, 

 u])on the first introduction. The qualities that 

 are shown at once, are generally only for show — 

 those that are more valuable and inore enduring, 

 must be searched for and mined for, like the ore

 sees the ambitious man — who acts before the 

 eyes of the world that character for wliich he

 a thousand weaknesses, which he strives to con- 

 ceal from his most intimate friends. The physi-
