TRUTH. 



BV RET. LDTHER HAMW.TON. 



Father! the light Thou bid'st to shine, 

 Anttchase the shades of nlglu away. 

 Is but an emblem of thy truth 

 TliaC gives to m^n his mental tjay. 



As that unfolds to wondering eyes. 



The glorious forms of power and love 



Thy hand hath shaped, thy goodness crowned - 



In earth below, and heaven above. 



So doth thy Truth with brighter beams 

 Illume tlie visions of the soul. 

 Cheer the sad heart with hope's fair scenes 

 Beyond where waves of sorrow roll. 



And if to me must be dei>ied 

 To see the light of cheerful day 

 On field or Hood or mountain height 

 Shed over all its varied ray; 



Or doomed to be in error's thrall. 

 The darkness of the mind to feel. 

 Be Superstition's trembling slave 

 And at his shrine of terruii»kneel; ^ 



Let me, O God ! no mor^ behold 

 Nor sky, nor sea, nor verdant 6eld, 

 But give me Truth — and I will own 

 A brighter heaven and earth revealed. 



(From the New York Mirror.) 

 MARY'S BEE. 



As Mary with her Up of roses. 



Was tripping o'er the flow'ry mead, 



A foolish liitle bee supposes 

 The rosy lip a rose indeed ; 



And so, astonished at the bliss 



He steals theih/Oney of her kiss. 



He wantons there a moment, lightly — 

 He sports away on careless wii>g — 



But, ah, why swells tliat wound unsightly ' 

 The rascal! he has left a sting! 



She runs to me with weeping eyes — 



Sweet image of fair April skies! 



* Be this,' said I, * to heedless misses 



A warning, they should bear in mind; 

 For oft a lover steals their kisses, 

 Tiien flies, and leaves a sting behind.' 



* This may be wisdom, to be sure,* 

 Said Mary; * but I want a cure.' 



What could I do? to ease the swelling 

 My lips and hers delighted meet; 



And, trust me, from that lovely, dwelling, 

 1 limnd the poison very sweet ! 



Fond hoy, unconscious of its smart, 



I suck'd the poison of my heart ! 



Education is a coiiipairion which no mitsfo''- 

 tunc can dej)i-css — no clime destroy — no en-my 

 alienate — no despotism enslave. At home a 

 friend, abroad an introduction — in solitude a sol- 

 ace — in society an ornainent. It chastens vice 

 — it frnides virtue — it gives at once grace and 

 governinent to genius. Without it what is man ? 

 A splendid s'ave — a reasoning .savage — vacil- 

 lating hetween the dignity of an intelligence ile- 

 rived from God, and the degradation of passions 

 participated with brutes. — Pkilips' Speeches. 



A Working Man. — The following is an ex- 

 tract from a speech delivered at Chtirlestown, a 

 year or two ago, at a politi* al meeting, by Hon. 

 Edward Kverett. 



To the workingmen's party, in my apprehen- 

 sion of what ought to he the composition of a par- 

 ty so denominated, that is, the great mass of hon- 

 est and industrious men, of every pursuit and call- 

 mg, to the exclusion of the irreligious and immor- 

 al — the idle, the intemperate, the busy body, the 

 do little, the do nothing, the miser, the spend- 

 thrift, — to such a ]iarty, I am so far from being 

 opposed, that I would fain be thought a member 

 of it. It may be in your recollection, that some 

 two or three years ago, I endeavored in a pidilic 

 adilress from this place to set forth the true prin- 

 ciples of such a party. I know not whether my 

 claim to be a workingiuan will be allowed, by all 

 who compose it, as at present organized. 1 liave, 

 since I have been made a public man, been de- 

 nounced very frequently as an ari.-stocrat. I do 

 not know precisely what that imports, in a coun- 

 try like ours; but this I may say, that I do not 

 know how the bread of idleness tastes; and that 

 I have no object in life, but by the steady and la- 

 borious exertion of an humble ca|:acity, to dis- 

 charge the duties of a good citizen and an inof- 

 fensive neighbor, and to bring up my children, in 

 the paths of virtue, temperance and honest indus- 

 try. If tliis makes a working man, 1 am one. 

 Let me go farther and say, that I have no feelings 

 at variance with the rights and teelings of those, 

 who, in the narrow sense of the term, are more 

 commonly classed as working men. I was born 

 and brought up in t'lat condition of competence, 

 bordering much more closely on poverty than 

 riches. I got the chief part of my early educa- 

 tion at the .^Kiblic schools of my native town, 

 Dorchester and Boston: and if on the face of the 

 earth, there was ever such a thing as an humble 

 and friendless orphan boy, I felt myself such, the 

 day 1 was first made ac.quainted with good old 

 master Tileston's ferrule, at the Northend writing 

 -schooL God knows, that if any thing on earth 

 conunands my sympathy and respect, it is the 

 struggles of the poor and friendless, to rise in the 

 world, under these obstacles of want of jH-operty 

 -and want of friends. If I thought thesD things 

 peculiar to myself, I should hesitate in uttering 

 thejn. It is because I know that they are not ; 

 because 1 speak in the hearing' of himdTeds, whose 

 bosoitvs beat with the same emotions — that 1 

 boldly appeal to them to give me credit for partic- 

 ipating with them. 



Causes of Human Misery. — The natural caus- 

 es of human misery may he reduced to two; ig- 

 norance and immorality. Both are great. I'li:- 

 losopliers are right in recommending the cultiva- 

 tion of inte'lect, and hy doing so many disorders 

 will be removed, but the aim will not be attained 

 without the same care to the moral nature of man. 

 — Sjiuizheim. 



'' 1 have lived," says Dr. Adam Clark, "to know 

 that the great seci'et of human happiness is this: 

 never suffer your ei)ergi(?s to stagnate. The old 

 adage of ' loo many irons in the fire,' conveys an 

 untruth. You cannot liave too many — poker, 

 tongs and all — keep them all agoing." 



The credulous can never fail to be in trouble, 

 while falsehood and deception characterizes the 

 actions of men. 



COCOONS AND RAW SIl^K. 



Th'- Northampton Silk Company, will pay Cash for Cocoons 

 and Kaw Si k at Iheir Establishment at the Oil Mill Place at
