A PARTING HYMN, 



Composed hy three Indian friends, (who graduated 

 at Dartmouth College) at a favourite Bower. 

 When shall wc three meet again ? 

 When shall we three meet again '. 

 Oft shall glowing hope expire — 

 Oft shall wearied love retire — 

 Oft shall death and sorrow reign, 

 Ere we Three shall meet again. 



Though in distant lands we sigh, 



Parch'd beneath the hostile sky ; 



Though the deep hc-tweeu us roll?, 



Friendship shall unite our souls, 



And in Fancy's wide domain 



Oft shall we Three meet again. 



■When our burnish'd locks are grey, 



Thinn'd by many a toil spent day ; 

 When around this youthful Pine, 

 Moss shall creep and Ivy twine ; 

 Long may this loved Bower remai.i — 

 Here may we Three meet again. 



When the dreams of life are fled, 

 When its wasted lamps are di-ad — 

 When in cold Oblivion's shade. 

 Beauty, wealth and fame are bid — 

 Where immortal Spirits reign, 

 There may we all meet again. 



' But what was the name of the instrunieiit .•' — 

 Had it strings, and was it played by keys ?' 



' You must give me time to recollect the name ; 

 it was indeed a stringed in.strumcnt, but was play- 

 ed by the hand.' 



' By the hands alone ?— How vulgar ; but 1 pro- 

 test I should like to see one, and papa shall buy 

 me one when I return to London. — Do you think 

 that we can obtain one ?' 



' No, you will not probably find one in London, 

 but doubtless they may be fouud in some of the 

 country towns.' 



' How many strings had it, ? Must one play with 



both hands ■ and could one play the double bass ?' 



' I know not whether it would play double bass, 



as you call it, but it was played by both hands, and 



had two strings.' 



' Two strings only ? surely you are jesting ; how 

 could good music be produced by such an instru- 

 ment, when the piano has two or three hundred r' 

 ' Oh, the strings were very long, one of them 

 I about J4 feet, and the other might bo lengthened 

 jat pleasure, even to fit\y or more.' 

 I ' What a prodigious deal of room it must take 

 up, but no matter, I will have mine in the old hall, 

 and papa may have an addition built to it, for he 

 says I shall never want for anything, and so does 

 mama. — Were the strings struck with little mal- 

 lets like the piano, or were they snapped like a 

 harpsichord ?' 

 ' Like neither of those instruments, as I recol- 



^ , lect, but it produced a soft kind of humming mu- 



Harmon;jin f'«mi7('e.5.— Impartiality tends great- 1 sic, and was peculiarly agreeable to the husband 

 ly to promote harmony in families. Hence the no- | and relations of the performer.' 



If'tns. — riiO tiuleigii Register has repeaLod 

 asserted, and corroborates the declaration by ce 

 tificates, that a cloth which has been soaked in 

 solution of common salt, till it has imbibed as mu' 

 of the salt as it will retain, applied to wens, v: 

 not fail to remove them. 



To praise a bad action is to commit it. He w 

 speaks, sows — he who listens, reaps. 



With time and patience, the leaves of the ra 

 berry tree become satin. 



Honey a cure for Gravel. — It is saiJ that swe 

 ening tea with lialf honey and half sugar, has bf 

 found by experience to be a remedy against gr 

 el. 



cessity of parents not manifesting any partiality to 

 one or more of their children. In the favored 

 child, it lays the foundation for pride and self-im- 

 portance, and in the neglected one, it raises indig- 

 nation if not hatred ; whatever may be the motives 

 assigned for the partiality, parents must answer to 

 the Judge of all the earth,for the sorrow and evils 

 it produces. 



Harmony in a family will be greatly interrupted, 

 should the father and mother pursue (5iSerent sys- 

 tems in the management of their children. It is 

 therefore highly necessary that they adopt a sim- 

 ilar plan ; otherw ise one or the other of them, and 

 perhaps both, will lose the esteem of their chil- 

 dren ; obedience to either is not to be expected 



'Oh, as to pleasing one's husband or relations, 

 that is all Dicky, in the Haut-ton, you know; but I 

 am determined to have one at any rate. Was it 

 easily learnt, and was it taught by French or Ital 

 ian masters ?' 



'It was easily learnt, but Frenchmen and Ital- 

 ians scarcely dared to show their heads in our 

 country in those times.' 



' Can you not possibly remember the name ? — 

 How shall we know what to inquire for ?' 



' Yes, I do now remember the name, iind we 

 must inquire for a spinning wheel.' 



Character of Dr. Pan; by himself. — From my 

 youth upward to the present moment I never de 



or the probability is, that bad habits and incorrect , «"ted a private friend, not violated a public pun- 

 principles will be established. I c'P'e- I I'ave been the slave of no patron, and the 

 In order to promote love and harmony among i drudge of no party. I formed my political opm- 

 children, one should not be allowed to domineer 1 '""^ ^"^hout the smallest regard, and have acted 

 over or tease another. Nor ought one to be prais- ! "pon them with an utter disregard to personal om- 

 ed at the expense of another. No envious com- 1 olument and professional honours---for many and 

 parisons must be drawn. Children should not be 1 ^e best years of my existence, I _endured very 



allowed to scoff at one who happens to be an of- 

 fender. This practice destroys atfection and gives 

 rise to resentment and retaliation. They should 

 be taught to feel for one another when in disgrace 

 and not be prohibited from interceding. 



A Fragment for the Ladies. — ' Thy grandmoth- 

 er,' said my uncle Toby, addressing himself to 

 young Arabella, just from London, and who was 

 playing the battle of Marengo, on the piano ; ' thy 

 grandmother, child,' said ho, ' used to play on a 

 much better instrument than thine.' 



' Indeed,' said Arabella, 'how could it have been 

 better ; you know it is the most fashionable instru- 

 ment, and is used by every body that is any thing.' 



' Your grandmother was something, yet she nev- 

 er saw a piano forte.' 



rksome toil, and suffered very trying need; meas 

 uring my resources by my wants, I now so abound 

 as to unite a competent income with an indepen- 

 dent spirit, and, above all, looking back to this life 

 and onward to another, 1 possess that inward 

 peace of mind, which the world can neither give 

 nor take away."
