The following lines, by Charles Su-aim. we feel assured, will be read with deep emotion bv every one who has been blessed with a ootl mother. 'Tis only after we have left the paternal care of her who watched over our childhood, and have become acquainted with the stern and uncompromising realities of a cold wcrld, that we " Learn to prize that holiest home, A tender mother's breast." THE MOTHER. A softening thousht of other years, A feeling linked to hours, When life was all too bright for tears, And hope sang wreathed with flowers; A memory of affections fled, Of voices heard no more; Stirred in my spirit when I read, That name of fondness o'er. O mother! In that magic word What loves and joys combine ! What hopes, too o'ft, alas, deferred, What watchings griefs are thine ? Yet never, till the hour we roam, By worldly thralls opprest, Learn we to prize that holiest home, A tender mother's breast. Ten thousand prayers at midnight poured Beside our couch of woes; The wasting weariness endured To soften our repose; While never murmur marked thy tongue, Nor toils relaxed thy care! How, mother, is thy heart so strong, To pity and forbear? What filial fondness e'er repaid, Or could repay the past? Alas, for gratitude decajed! Regrets that rarely last! 'T is only when the dust is thrown Thy blecd bosom o'er, We muse on all thy kindness shown And wish ure'd In-rd thee more. 'T is only when the lips are cold We mourn with late regret, 'Mid myriad memories of old The days forevrr set; And not an act, or look, or thought, Agninst thy meek control, But with a sad remembrance Taught, Wakes anguish in the soul! On everj- land, in every clime, True to her sacred cause ; Filled with that influence sublime, From which her strength she draws Still is the mother's heart the same ; The mother's lot as tried ; And O, may nations guard that name With fili;i power and pride.

A TALE O F P ) LA M). 'God tempers the wind to tlie shorn lamh,' said a Polish captive as she was led by a menial to his mi-ter's palacr. Th;S giil was one of those patriotic fetn ties, enrolled as a corps lo provide (b"d and raiment for the valiant suffering sons of degraded Poland. Eighteen

years had not kissed her cheek, )et to

her disci elion paid nomage. 1 ne word of the oppressor had already

drank the blood of her father, the yawn ihg gates of a Russian prison had inter red her only brother, and grief for the lo.s of those she so justly loved, had made her motherless. Still her spirit diooped not, nor did she bend when

Theday dawned, and they were ready to receive the enemy ; they met, and dreadful was the conflict. Often were the Poles repulsed, and as ofien did they gallantly return to the contest, shouting 'liberty or death.' Their soil

was enriched by the blood of her dear

est sons, but the cry of victory mingled

with the son-is of the convov that bec-

oned them away. The enemy fled in

wild disorder, after a protracted strutr-

gle.

Wearied with the toils of war, the

sold iers retired to the camp, nor were their women less in w ant of rest. The

tigue, and as she was wandering about the field of battle, intent on her errand

of mercy, 'Life,' said she, may still linger in some of the fallen; and even in death's last agony. Imav noint them to

feelings she had none; but in the midst

of her humane exertions, her arm was suddenly grasped by a ruffian, who in

the hour of danger had fled from the

enemy s post. 1 his oiler he knew

would ensure his pardon, and procure for him future favors from the Russian commander whose watch -word was

'booty and beauty,' and to this did he

hasten with this defenceless but invalu ible girl.

D uring the trial her fortitude was

invincible and the dignity of her manner awed even those lo whom she was presented. The Russian officers had assembled under pretense of concerting measures to renew the engagement; but in fact to spend the night in riot

uid dissipation. The commander-in-

chief of his majesty's forces, struck by

the beauty of his captive, ordered her into confinement; secretly determining

of a private interview, to convince her of his power. For this purpose even

before I lie fumes of the wine had pas

ed away he was at the door of her cell.

She was kneeling in prayer. In behalf

of Poland did she fervently and humbly

ask that her captivity might in some

nysterious manner aid her country

men. bhe was concluding hy implor

ing fortitude to bear the repeated in

sult of her enemies, and by entreating protection from the snares of the wicked. 'Be mine,' said he, 'and my arm shall afford that protection joti will seek in vaia from any other power.' She a-

ANECDOTE Or A HOG. A gentleman residing in Seville, had a dog named Carlo, and a fine knowing dog he was. His master who had much confidence in his prudence and discretion, not only employed him to bring provisions from the market, but also entrusted him with money to pay for the various articles commissioned. For along time Carlo conducted himself in the most irreproachable maimer, carrying the billet and money to the butch

ers , and conveying home a niece of

beef, or a fine fat pullet, as the case might be. Carlo continued lo fill his situation in the commissariale, to the entire satisfaction of the parties concerned; no fraud, no speculation, was ever laid to his charge; in short, Carlo showed by his daily conduct, that he not only knew the duties of a commissary, but what is still more remarkable, he actually practised them. But, alas! how many men in the midst of an honorable career may be tempted to make a false step so it was with Carlo. Some shabby dog, it was supposed, had affronted him; he set down the basket, and while engaged in chastising his foe, an urchin peeped into the basket, seized the piece of money, and directly made off, without wailing lo congratulate the victor. Carlo having sufficiently punished his adversary, shook his ears, and quite unconscious of the loss he had sustained, seized the ba?kel with his teeth, trotted olf to market in double quick time, and presented himself before the butcher. "How is this? there is no money here Carlo," said the butcher, after taking out the billet, and turning (he basket upside down. For

few moments C.xiu uuog his head in

vident confusion; and then, as if a

sudden thought had struck him, he

r.ihed out of the market. Away he

went, heller skeller, through the crowded street, upsetting a Galbgo with his

water jar, bouncing against a seller ol

water melons, and running full lilt against an Italian pedlar, creating dire confusion amongst the saints and ma

donnas on he went, until he reached the square where a number of boys were collected playing at pitch and toss. Here Carlo made a halt for a

few minutes, until seeing a pieceof mo

stolen from him, he pounced upon il

NEWSPAPERS. Small is the sum that is required to patronizja a newspaper, and amply remunerated is the patron, I care not how humble and unpretending the gazette which he takes. It is next to impossible to fill a sheet with printed matter fifty-two times a year, without putting into it something that is worth the subscription price. Every parent whoso son is off from him at school should be supplied with a newspaper. 1 well remember what a marked difference there was between those of my school mates win had, and those who had not, access to newspapers. Oilier things being equal, the first were always decidedly superior lo the last in debate and composition at least. The reason is plain ; they had command of more facts. A newspaper is a history of current events, as well as a copious and interesting miscellany, and which youth will peruse with delight, when ihey will read nothing cl;c.

so for years to come, without settling the point what education is. We do not intend to add lo Ihe number of luni bering essays, having made these remarks solely for the purpose of introducing the following paragraph from an essay of V . E. Channingas to what educating a man implies. On this point he says: "To educate a man is to unfold his faculties, to give him the free and full use of his powers, and especially his best powers. It is first to train the intellect, to give him a love of truth, and to instruct him in the processes by which it may be acquired. It is to train him to soundness of judgment, (o teach him to weigh evidence, and lo guard him against ihe common sources of error. It is to give him a thirst for
