 DEATH OF A PIOUS YOUNG MAN. 



Not by pang, or pall, or sliroud, 

 Bui by Bkies wilbout a cloud, 

 Peaceful smiles of lioly birth, 

 Joys tliat had no root on earth, — 

 We who marked thy transient span 

 Glow with love to God and man, — 

 Remember thee. 



By that faith whose power bestows 

 Victory over pains and woea, — 

 By its bolder flight to rise, 

 O'er affi-clion's rose-wreathed ties, — 

 They who near thy couch of death 

 Watched thy sweetly rendered breath 

 Remember thee. 



With a guardian angel's care, 

 With a mystic call to prayer. 

 Sleepless watch to guard and blesa, 

 Witig outspread when dangers press, 

 Spirit's smile, and spirit's kiss, 

 Wilt Ihou, in Ihy home of bliss. 



Remember them .'

A KOBLE EXAMPLE. 



A family in the interior of Massachusetts were 

 in such indigent circumstances, as to be wholly 

 dependent upon the avails of the father's industry 

 as a day laborer. The eldest son, a fine promising 

 boy, as soon as he arrived at sufficient age, was 

 put out to labor for the support of the lamily. 

 Having received a good coniinoii education, which 

 is the noble birthright of every poor man's son in 

 Massachusetts, he was sorely unwilling to com- 

 mence life under such discouraging auspices. 

 He entreated permission to leave home and seek 

 employment elsewhere, pledging liimself to do 

 something better for his parents than he could 

 earn by his labor. The parents were opposed to 

 the plan, and strove to make liini contented. At 

 length, however, all obstacles were surmounted, 

 and the youth left his native j)lace, and entered 

 into the wide world, destitute and friendless. For 

 several years the jiarents had no other tidings of 

 their son than the receiving from him frequent 

 and valuable i)resents of clothing, &c., which 

 supplied all their wants. By this liberality the 

 family was placed in circumstiiiices of comfort, 

 and the younger children ])laced in a public 

 academy and well educated. 



In the mean time this excellent youth had been 

 pursuing the i)atli of untiring industry and irre- 

 proachable integrity. lie had obtained a place in 

 a store, and won the highest confidence of his' 

 employer. Afterwards he begun business for 

 liimself, and a competent support for himself and 

 his father's house rewarded his toil. JLast .suui- 

 mer he visited liis native place, purchased a farm, 

 and presented it to bis father; and in belioldin 

 his parents in comfort and plenty, through his 

 honest exertion.s, he must have enjoyed the high 

 est earthly pleasure tluit can be given to mortal 

 man. This young man, whose name the ancients 

 would have inscribed on pillars of brass, is still 

 pursuing liis course of honest and honorable in- 

 dustry, and keeps a grocery store in Charleston, 

 S. C Boston Tel. 



A SPRING MORNING. 



To walk abroad among rural scenery on a fine 

 sunny moriling, is to ramble in the temple of the 

 Deity, and witness the creative process ; every 

 day, almost every hour, witnesses some change : 

 buds, blossoms, leaves and flowers are woven by 

 unseen hands, painted by invisible artists, and 

 perfumed from "vials full of odors sweet" — we 

 look upon them in the morning with surprise and 

 pleasure, while the first dew and sunbeam arejfis- 

 iting them. What an admirable and perfect taste 

 must he have, who performs all this ! There is 

 no noise, no useless display. The creator therein 

 teaches modesty to his creatures. His goodness 

 is also visible — the blossoms soon perish, but 

 their hue and fragrance are the breathings of a 

 benevolent mind. Look at the multitude of little 

 heaps of sand that lie in the path, and suffer your 

 eye to rest for a moment upon the busy and appa- 

 rently happy insect that brings out his grain of 

 sand. Notiiing seems too minute and insignifi- 

 cant for the Almighty to put his hand upon and 

 invest with faculties of intelligence and happi- 

 ness. — Boston Courier. 



Natural Phenomena. — We saw from our of- 

 fice window yesterday morning a sight, which, 

 had we lived and seen it in the superstitious days 

 of our ancestors, wou'd have made our very hair 

 stand on end with terror. It was a large vessel, 

 under a press of canvass, a|iparently sailing in the 

 air at an elevation of not less than a hundred feet 

 from the water, directly across the mouth of our 

 harbor. Knowing however, how to account for 

 it on natural principles, it filled our mind only 

 with delight. The sun was shining very brightly 

 at the time, — tlie image of the vessel reflected in 

 the mist above her, was perfect, and as she passed 

 swiftly by, coursing through the air " like a thing 

 of life," we thought it one of the most beautiful 

 " ]jictures " we had ever beheld. — Gloucester Tel. 



Joseph Clark, after having been fortyfive years 

 Treasurer of Rhode Island, was, at the age of 

 seventy, nominated for Governor ; he declined, 

 assigning the following reason : " As I have en- 

 joyed a good character among my fellow citizens 

 all my life, as is proved by their choosing me 

 their treasurer' more than forty years, I have no 

 notion of losing it now in my old age by being set 

 up for Governor." 



Mr Buckingham, the celebrated oriental travel- 

 ler — now a menjber of the British Parliament — 

 stafes that the strongest race of men he has ever 

 ^mb. were the natives of the Ilimmaleh Moun- 

 t«^s, and came to Calcutta as wrestlers; one of 

 v/JjtOm u;i| a match for three Britotis. Yet 

 the^o mrit^ he says, had never drank anything 

 sti0jixgcr than milk.

 er. A>bo.\ about six feet six inches long,

 watw" tight, and filled with warm or cold 

 as mhy be desired. Over the surface of 

 the water, is an India rubber cloth sheet, imper- 

 vious also, \^atl)^ a slack of about nine inches. A 

 sick person derives extraordinary comfort from it.
