" There is o God," nil nature cries ; 



A lh(iu-.aii(l tongues proclaim 

 His Arm ulmighty, Mind all wise, 

 And liid each voite in chorus rise, 



To magnify His name. 



Thy name, great Nature's Sire d vine, 



Assiduous we adore; 

 Rejcciin? godheads, at whose shrine. 

 Benighted nations, hlood and wine 



In vain lilmtions |iour. 



Von countless worlds in houndlcss space, 



Myriads of miles eauli hour 

 Their mighty orlis as curious trace, 

 As the lilue circlet studs the fa-e. 



Of thai enamel I'd flower. 



llui Thou, loo, mad'st that floweret gay 



To glitter in the dawn ; 

 The hand that fired the lamp of day, 

 The blazing comet launch'd away. 



Painted the velvet lawn.

Oliedienl to ihy will,"

 Each drawing each, yet all still found, 



One order to fulfil.

Tlie great difficulty with most parents is, that 

 they aro tmwilliii<r ti> devote lime to their children. 

 But there are Jio duties in life inoro imperious th:in 

 the cart-ful culture of the minds and hearts of the 

 immorlals entrusted to our care. Thereare no du- 

 ties we can iieyicct at such an awful hazard. A 

 good son is nn incitiuiable treasure. Language 

 cannot speak its worth. A bad son is about the 

 heaviest calamity which can be endured on earth. 

 Let the parent,' then, find time to train up the 

 child in the way ho should go. — MAhtr's Assist- 

 ant. 



M.\NAGEMENT OF CHILDREN. 

 Kf.ep your Sons employed. Let play be but their 

 occasional privilege, andlhey will enjoy it far more 

 highly. Employ thern in the garden, if you have 

 one, us work, not as pliy. Give them daily and 

 regular duties about the house. It will do them 

 no^liarm to perform humble services. It will help 

 you and help them still more, to have them bring 

 wood or coal, to scour the knives, to make their 

 own beds, to keep their own room in order. You 

 may thu.s render them highly useful, and greally 

 contribute to their happiness and to their future wel- 

 fare. If you are sick, it is still more important 

 you should train your sons to these habits of indus- 

 try, for they stand particularly in need of this mor- 

 al and physical discipline. Louis I'hilippe, the 

 present king of France, was in childhood and ear- 

 ly yfUith required to wait upon himself in the per- 

 formance of the humblest offices. It was thiough 

 this culture that he was trained up to be one of the 

 tnost remarkable men of the present age. 



Eiuounige a Fondness for Rendins;. Children's 

 books have been of latt years so greatly multiplied, 

 that there is hut little difficulty in forming in the 

 mind of a child a taste for reading. When tlio 

 taste is formed, you will be saved all further trou- 

 ble. Your son will soon cxphuc the libraries of 

 all his associates, and he will find calm, and silent, 

 and improving amusement for many rainy days 

 and long evenings. And you may have many an 

 hour of your own evening solitude enlivened by 

 his reading. 'I'he cultivation of this habit is of 

 such immense importance — it is so bonefieial in its 

 results, not only upon the child, but upon the quie- 

 tudc ami harmony of the family, that it is well 

 worth while to make special efforts to awnken a 

 fondness for books. Select some books of dcci 

 dedly entertaining character, and encourage hini 

 for a time to read aloud to you, and you will very 

 soon lind his interest riveted ; and by a little at- 



Cheerfulness. — It is always better to laugh than 

 to cry, and a cheerful countenance is ever a plea- 

 sant companion. The human system is so consti- 

 tuted that it is wrought upon by mirth or melan- 

 choly to its delight or detriment, its weal or wo. 

 Cheerfulness is its sanative — its " match Ics-s s.ina- 

 live"— sorrow and sighing its bane. Melancholy 

 destroys not only the mental but the bodily vigor. 

 We say, then — "hence, loathed inelaneholy." — 

 rhere is no use in rubbing one's eyes and blub- 

 bering over all " the ills that flesh is heir to." Take 

 the evil with the good, and bear it like a philoso. 

 pher. Red eyes and faces of a longitude like that 

 fa horse, are any thing but agreeable, pleasant- 

 greeting companions: in fact they are scandalous 

 looking^affiiirs. The best way is always to keep 

 up a cheerful heart. Take the world as it goes, 

 the good and the evil as they severally coinc along, 

 without repining, if fortune frowns, with that phi- 

 losophical ejaculation of Jacob Faithful, " better 

 luck next time." — Bost. Trans. 



HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Grcal improvements have heen made the past year in tha 

 form nnd workmanship ol these Ploughs; the muulil hi anl

Seats in Chcuch. — No separation of seats 

 was made long ago in Scotland, and none is al- 

 lowed in Denmark, where so strict an equality is 

 preserved in the house of God, that on one occasion 

 ucommiui soldier found himself accidentally placed 

 next to the King. He hastily started up, but his 

 Majesty stopped him, saying "Stay, friend! re- 

 member there is no distinction here!" — Siuclair.
