[From the guuthern- Rose Dud. I 

 THE CHILD'S DOUBT. 



You know you told me, mollier dear, 



(Mow can I thinU it true?) 

 That God can always see and hear 



Wliat'cr I say and do I 



1 listen, mollicr, for Ins voice, 



I look His form to see ; 

 1 see Him not — I lienr Him not ; 



Then how can He see me ? 



My child ! yon often tremble, when 



The clouds are talking loud ; 

 And are you not afraid to hoar 



Hi9 voice who made the cloud.' 



And see the Sun is in the skies ! 



Look up, with steadfast gaze. 

 Yon cannot ! no ! it hurts your eyes; 



Too strong the wondrous blaze. 



Yet, faint before the face of Him, 



That glory is a shade. 

 Or, at the best, a moment's gleam. 



His pitying glance has made ! 



But, mother, when the day is dark, 



When shadows dim the air. 

 By radiant breakings through the clouds, 



1 know the Sun is there ! 



My child ! the heavens, earth, and air. 



Are darkness to His day. 

 And all the glow of glory theie, 



His love's attempered ray. 



In mercy to our senses weak, 



He shades his presence bright, 

 In Nature's music, veils His voice, 



And in her smile. His light. Flore.sce. 



[From the Emporium anJ True American.] 



DON'T QUARREL. 



" One of the easiest, the most comnion, and the 

 most perfectly foolish things in the woiKl is — to 

 quarrel ; no matter with wliom, man, woman, or 

 child ; or upon what pretence, provocation, or 

 occasion whatsoever. There is no kind of nece.s- 

 sity in it, no manner of use in it, and no species 

 or degree of benefit to be guided by it. And yet, 

 strange as the fact may be, theologians quarrel, 

 and politicians quarrel, lawyers, doctors, and prin- 

 ters quarrel, the chureli quarrels, and the state 

 quarrels, nations, and trib(;s, and corj)orations, 

 men, women, and children, dogs and cats, birds 

 Mid beasts quarrel about all .iiaimcr of things and 

 oil all maimer of occasions. 



Now that a great deal of mischief comes of 

 this everybody sees and feels and admits, but 

 what good.' Many thing.s, evil in tliemselves, 

 have their redeeming results and produce at least 

 their kernel of wheat to the bushel of chaff, but 

 if anybody ever discovered a good thing cojne 

 out of a quarrel, if he'll give us its length, breadth, 

 quality, and description, we'll insure him a patent 

 for it. 



If there is anything in the world that will luidve 

 a man feel bad, e.xcept pinching his fingers in the 

 crack of a door, it is unquestionably a quarrel. 

 No man ever fails to think less of himself after 

 than he did before one — it degrades him in his 



own eyes, and in the eyes of others — and what 

 is worse, bhmts his sensibility to disgrace on the 

 one hand, and increases the power of passionate 

 irritability, on the other. 



Some things look very well in theory which do 

 not answer at all in practice; and it is possible 

 for a man to reason himself into the belief that a 

 particidar system is right, which, when reduced to 

 practice, will turn out entirely wrong. But neither 

 the theory nor the practice of quarrelling is good. 



The reason people quarrel about religion is, 

 because they really have so little of it, and the 

 harder they quarrel the more abundantly do they 

 prove it. A man has a right to stand fast by his 

 religious faith — a right to insist upon it — a right 

 to present it respectfully on all proper occasions, 

 to the consideration of others ; but he has no 

 right to quarrel — and any man that will quarrel 

 about these things, in my opinion, has not much 

 to quarrel about. 



Politicians need not quarrel. Whoever quar- 

 rels with a num for his political opinions, is him- 

 self denying the first principles of freedom — 

 freedom of thought — moral liberty — without 

 which there is nothing in politics worth a groat — 

 it is therefore wrong upon principle. You have 

 on this subject, a right to your own opinions — 

 so have others ; you have a right to convince 

 them, if you can, — they have the same — Exer- 

 cise your rights, but again I say — Dori't quarrel. 



The truth is, the more quietly and peaceably we 

 all get on, the better — the better for ourselves, 

 the better for our neighbors. In nine cases out 

 of ten, the wisest jiolicy is, if a man cheats you 

 to quit dealing with him ; if he is abusive, quit 

 his company ; if he slanders you, take care to live 

 so as that nobody will believe him , no matter 

 who he is, or how he misuses you, the wisest way 

 is, generally, just to let him alone. There is 

 notliing better than this cool, calm, quiet way of 

 dealing with the wrongs we meet. 



Longevity of the Vine. — The vine lasts to 

 a considerable age ; it spreads also to a large ex- 

 tent or when supported rises to a great height. Al- 

 thongh it hears at three or four years plentifully, it 

 issaid by Miller that vineyards improve in quality 

 till fifty years old. Pliny mentions a vine which 

 had attained the age of si.\ hundred years. In 

 France and Italy there are entire vineyards still 

 in existence, and in full bearing, wliich were in 

 tlie same condition at least three centuries ago ; 

 and have so continued ever since. The slender 

 stems of ordinary vines, when they have attained 

 a considerable age, are remarkably tough and com- 

 pact ; and the timber of the very old ones in for- 

 eign countries, which is occasionally of size 

 enough for being sawn into planks, and being 

 made into fiirniture and utensils, is almost indes- 

 tructible. Strabo mentions an old vine which 

 two men could not embrace. A single vine plant, 

 which was trained against a row of houses at 

 Northallerton, covered, in 1792, one hundred and 

 thirtyseven square yards. It was then about a 

 hundred years old, and it increased in size after- 

 wards ; but it is now dead. In 179.5, the princijial 

 stem of this vine was about fifteen inches in 

 diameter.
