Remember, soti,who gave thee.tlris, When other'dajrs shall come; When she who had theearlitst kiss, Sleeps in her narrow home. Remember 'twas a mother gave The gift Ho'onc she'd die to save. That mother sought a pledge of love, The holiest forjher son; And from the gifts of God above, She those a goodly one. She chose for her beloved boy The source of light, and life, and joy: And badchim keep the gift, that when The parting hour should come. They might have hope to meet again In an eternal home. She said his faith in that would be Sweet incense.to her memory. And should the scoffer, in his pride. Laugh that fond faith to scorn, And bid him cast that pledge aside That he from youth had borne; She'd bid him pause, and ask his breast, If he or she had lov'dhim best. A parent's blessing on her son. Goes with this holy thing; The love that would retain the one. Must to the other cling. Remember! 'tis no idle toy A mother's gift' remember, boy! LAURA LOVEL. A Sketch for Ladies only. BY MISS LESLIE. The world is still deceived with ornament. Shakspcarc. i-ONTIXUED. "I dont suppose," said Augusta, that her father has given her much money to bring to town with her. "To be sure he has not,"' replied Miss Frampton, "if he is only a poor country clergyman. I think it was in very bad tasto for him to let her come at all.' "Well," said Augusta, "we must take her a shopping this morning, and try to get her fitted out, so as to make a deceut appearance at Nahant, as we are going thither in a few days." "Then I have come just in the right time,' said Miss Frampton. "Nahant is the verv place I wish to visit my sweet friend Mrs. Dick Pewscy has given me such an account of it. She passed a week at Nahant when she came to Boston last summer.11 "Oh! I remember her," Cried Augusta, She was a mountain of blonde lace." "Yes,M observed Miss Frampton, '-and not an inch of that blonde has yet been paid for, or ever will be. 1 know it from good authority." Thcv went a shopingand Augusta took them to the most fashionablcstoro in Washington street, where i.aura was surpnssfcfand confused at the sight of the various beautiful articles shown to thorn. Even their names perplexed her; she knew very well what gros denaples was (or gro de nap, as it is commonly called,) but she vffat a loss to distinguish gros do Berlin gros Co Suisse, gros de Zane, and all the tthcr pros. Augusta, however, was au fait to vt3 whole, and talked & flitted, and glided, producing as she supposed great ctfect anions tho young salesmen at the counters. Miss Frampton examined every thing with scrutinizing eye, undervalued them all, and tok frequent occasions to sav that they were far inferior to similar articles in Philadelphia. At length, a verv light-coloured figured silk, with a very new name, was selected for Laura. The price appeared to her extremely high, and when she heard tho number of yards that were considered necessary, she taiutlv asked "if less would not do." Miss Frampton sneered, and Augusta laughed j out, saying, ul)ont you see that the silk is very uarrow, and that it has a wrong side and a right side, and that the tlowers have a top and a bottom, bo that it cannot be turned every way, a large quantity will be required." "Had I not better choose a plain silk," said Laura; "one that is wider and can be turned any way." Oh! plain silks are so common," replied Augusta; though for a change thev are well enough. 1 have four, but this will be the best for Nahant. We always dress to go there, and ot course we expect all our! niriv tii do the same. party to do the "But really this silk is so expensive," whispered Laura. "Let tho dress be cut otT said Miis Frampton, in a peremdtory tone. I am tired of such hesitation. 'Tis very bad taste." Tho dress was cut otf, and Laura on calculating the amount, found that it wo-di mako a sad in road in her little

also a new for her with a beautiful sky bluo for the nredominent colour, and Laura found that this also was a very costly dress. She was next informed that she could not be presentable without a French pelerine of embroidered muslin. relerines in great variety were then produced, and Laura found to her dismay that the prices were from ten to twenty-five dollars. She declined taking one, id Miss Frampton aud Augusta exchanged looks, which said as plainly as looks eanepeak,"I suppose that she has not money Vnoujjh." Laura coloured hesitated at last false pride cot the better of her scruples. The salesman commended tho beauty of the pelerinos; particularly of one tied up at the front, and ornamented on the shoulders with bows of bluo ribbon and our heroine yielded, and took it at fifteen dollars ; those at ten dollars, being voted by Miss Frampton "absolutely mean." After this Laura was induced to supply . herself with silk stockings ivnd white silk gloves, "of new style," and was also persuaded to give five dollars for a small scarf, also a new style. And when all theso purchases were made; she found that three quarters of a dollar were all that remained in her purse. Augusta also bought several new articles; but Miss Frampton got nothing. However, she insisted after a while on going into every fancy store in Washington street not to buy, but to see what they had, and gave much trouble to the salesmen needlessly to display their goods to her, and some offence by making invidious comparisons between their merchandise and that ot Philadelphia. By the timo all this shopping was over, the Old South had struck two, and it was found expedient to postpone till next day the intended visit to the milliner and mantua maker, Miss Frampton and Augusta declaring that of afternoons they were never fit for any thing but to throw themselves on the bed and go to sleep. Laura Lovel fatigued both in body and mind, and feeling much dissatisfied with herself, was glad of a respite from the pursuit of finery though it was only till next morning, and she was almost "at her wit's end" to know in what way she was to pay for having her dress made much less for the fashionable bonnet which her companions insisted on her getting Aujjusta giving more than hints, that if she went with the family to Nahant, they should expect her to "lock likcther people; and Miss Frampton signuf ing in loud whispers, that "those who were unable to make an appearance, had always better stay at lirtnin In the evening there were some visitors, none of whom were very entertaining or agreeable, though all the ladies were excessively dressi-.l. Laura was reminded of the homely proverb, "Birds of a feather flock together." The chief entertamment was listening to Augusta's m ti sic, who considered herself to sinn and play with wonderful execution. But to the unpractised ears and eyes of the heroine, it seemed nothing more than an alternate succession of high shrieks and low murmurs accompanied by various contorsions of the face, sundry bowings and wavings of the body great elevation of tho shoulders, squaring of the elbows, and incessant quivering of the fingers, and throwing back of the hand. Miss Frampton talked all the while in a low voice to a lady that sat next to her, and turned round at intervals to assure Augusta that her singing was divine; and that she reminded her of Madame Fearon. Augusta had just finished a very great song, and was turning over her music book in search of an other, when a slight rin was heard at the street door, and as Wil liam opened it, a weak hesitating voice inquire for Miss Laura Lovel, adding "I hope to be excused, I know I ou!it not to make so free; but I heard this afternoon, that Miss Laura,eldest daughter of the reverend Edward Love!, of Iloscbrook, Massachusetts, is now in this house, and I have walked live miles into town for the purpose ot seeing the young lady. However, I ought not to consider the walk as any thing, and it was improper in mo to speak ot it at all. Tho young lady is an old friend of mine, if I may be so bold as to say so.'' ''There's company in the parlour,1 said William, in a tone not over respectful very particular company ':I won't meddle with any of the company," proceeded the voice. "I am very caretul never to make myself desageable. ; But I just wih(if I am not taking too reat a liberty.) to sec Miss Laura Lovel." "Shall I call her out P" said William. "I would not for the world live her the , trouble, replied the stranger. "It is cer tainly my place to go to the young lady, and not her's to come to me. I always try to be polite. I hope you don't find me unpleasant." ".Miss Lovel " said Miss Frampton sneeringly,"this must certainly be your The parlour door being open, the whole of the preceding dialogue had been heard by the company, and Miss Frampton from the place in which she sat, had a view of .i . .t uie sirauger, as ne siooa in me eniry. William then, with an unsuppresaed grin ushered into the room a little thin, weaklooking man, who had a whitish face, and dead light hair, cut straight across the fore head. .His dress was scrupulously neat, but very unfashionable. He wore a full suit of yellowish brown sloth, with all the gto on. Hii legs were covered with

shirt collar and his cravat were stiff &. blue, the latter being tied in front with very long ends, and in his hand he held a blue bandanna handkerchief, carefully folded up. His whole deportment was stitf ann awKwaru. On entering the room, he bowed very low with a noculiar ierk of the bead, and his whole appearance and manner denoted the very achme of humility. The company regarded him with amazement, and Mim Krnmntnn Kprrnn In whisncr. KCeDinS her eye fixed on him all the time. Laura started trom her chair, hasteneaio him. and holdimr out her hand, addressed - - . . . . 1 him by the name of Pyam Dodge. He took the proffered hand , after a momenu ot hesitation, ana saio, "i nope i am piuperly sensible of your kindness Miss Laura Lovel in allowing me to take your nana now that you are grown. Many a time have I led you tomv school, when I board ed at your respected fathers, who, I trust, II T t II . . . IS well. 1JUI now i wouiu noi, uu uuy account, be too familiar." (Laura pointed to a chair.) "But which is the mistress of the house? 1 know perfectly well that it is proper for me to present my respects to her before I take the liberty of sitting down under her roof. If I may presume I understand any thing thoroughly, it is certainly good manners. In my school, manners were always perfectly well taught my own manners I learnt chiefly from my revered uncle, Deacon Ironskirt, formerly of Wicketiquock, but now of Popsquish." Laura then introduced Pyam Dodge to the lady of the house, who received him civilly, and then to Mr. Brantley, who perceiving ;hat the poor school-master was what is called a character, found his curiosity excited to know what he would do next. This ceremony over, Pyam Dodge bowed round to each of the company separtely. Laura saw at once that he was an' object of ridicule; and his entire want of tact, and his pitiable simplicity had never before struck her so forcibly. She was glad, when at last he took a seat boside her, and in a low voice she endeavored to engage him in a conversation that she should prevent him from talking to anyone else. She found that he was master of a district school about five miles from Boston, and that he was perfectly contented for more than that he never had aspired to be. But vain were the efforts of our heroine to keep Pyam Dodge to herself, and to prevent him from manifesting his peculiarities to the rest of the company perceiving that Augusta had turned round on her music-stool to listen, and to look at him, the school master rose on his feet and bowing first to the young ladv,and then to her mother, he said, "Madame I am afraid that I have disturbed the child in striking on her piano-forty. I would on no account cause any interruption for that might be making myself desagreeable. Ua the contrary, it would give me satislaction tor the child to continue her ex ercise,and I shall esteem it a privilege to hear how she plays her music. I have taught singing myself." Augusta then by desire of her mother commenced a new bravura, which ran somehow thus: Uhldrop a tear, a tender tear oh! drop a tea r, a tender, tear. Oh ! drop, oh urop on: dro-o-op a te-en-der te-e-car a tear for me, a tear for me, a tender tear tor me. When I, when I, when I-I-I am wandering, wandVing, wand'r-ng, wandVinc far, far, far, from thcee fa-a-ar, far, far, trom thee trom thee. For sadnes in for sadness in, my uciii, iuy ueuri snail reign snail ro-e-e U I 4 I II t II ign my hee-e-art for a sa-a-adncss in my heart shall reign shall reign until until unti-i-il we fondly meet again, we fondly meet, we fo-o-ondly me-e-et until we fondly, fondly fondly, meet meet, meet, meet, again we meet a gain. This song (in which the sillincs 53 of tn( words was increased ten-fold bv the ! cessnt repetition of them.) after various alternations of high and slow, finished in thunder. Augusta shrikiong the concluding notes with an energy that made the piano tremble. When tho Bravura was over, Pyam DoJj?, who had stood listening in nm'7o. merit, looked at Mrs. Brantley, and said ; "Madame, your child must doubtless, sin" that song very well when she gels tho right tune." 'The right tunc," interrupted Augut indignantly, "The right tune?" echoed Mrs. Brant ley and Miss Frampton. les " said Pvam Dod TP. snlpmnlv,'and the right words also. For what I have just heard, is neither the regular tune nor the proper words, as they seem to go every how therefore I conclude that all this wandering and confusion, was caused by the presence of these strangers: j myself in all probability being tho great est stranger, if I may be so bold as to sayso. This is doubtless the reason why she mixed up the words at random, and repeated the same so often, and why her actions at the piano-forty are so strange. I trust that at other times she plays and sings so as to give the proper sense." Augusta violently shutdown tho lid of her piano, and give her father a look that implied, Won't you turn him out of the house." B jt Mr. Brantley was much diverted, and laughed audibly. to be continued. Enmity. Life says William Penn, is too short, to atLrd time for camiticWvQ
