Tut when there enme a (Vurfu! ilay, I fMht my mother' but, Ti!i !..r?h h-.r.di tore mc thcr.co a-.tnj, An.l t ,!J mc !.e aaj ilt-ad." It was thirteen years since my mother's death, when after a long absence from my native village, I .stood hesidr the sacrtti mound, ieneath which I had seen her Im. : led, Since that mournful period, ftrrnt change had come over me. My childish years had passed anay, and with them my youthful character. The world was altered tco; and as I stood at my mother's giave I could hardly realize that I was the tame lliouht!oaj,hapy creature, whose checks Jv.c ud so oil en kissed in an e.x-?f-:z of tenderness. Cut the vaicJ events of thiitecn yeau had ;i it ci'fared the remembrance of tli.it mother's smile. It seemed as if I h. til seen her but yesterday as if the blrsi d iound of her uice, was then in my ear. The :;i dreams of my infancy and naMbood w brought back so , diti.ii t!v to my mind, that had

At first, it is true, I mbed violently I ir they told nie she w juiil die ; b it w In n d iv after day 1 returned from school and found h r tiic same, 1 beau to believr iiie v.umd always be spared to Xi. e. One day when 1 had lost my P -.'.ce in the chus, and done luy v. urkwiuiu; side outward, I came ie.me discouraged and fretful. I v. cut into my mother's chamber, bhc was paler than usual, but fche met me with tiie same affectionate smile that always welcomed try return. Alas! when I look tack through the lapse of thirteen years, 1 think my heart must have been stune. not to have been melted !jy it. rfhe requested metojjo down Plait s, and bring her a t;lass cf ...iter 1 pettishly asked why she did. not call a domestic to do ii. With a look of mild reproach which I shall never forget, if 1 live to be a hundred years old, she said -An 1 will not t,iv daughter brin a .las. of water lor her poor sick la 'htr .- 1 vent ami brought her ilie vat r, k 1 mi i u it ilo it kiu.liy. In- . le t I j! .m .14 and kissing her,' t ;;s 1 w t wo u to il l, I sat toe i iissd-. . very quick, and left th; r ; After playing a short tiaie, 1 went to oi-d without hiddiiiLr my m jther ' uood uiht ' but, rheu alon in my room, in daik-ir-i i siUoicr, I reir.mbered hw pale she looked, am! how her roicc trembled when slie. said, u A'ill a t my daughter brin a ';kiss of .v.iter for her poor sick .11 th r.' I could not sleep and 1 stole into her chamber, to ask formveuess. She iud sunk into an jne ir.v hmiber, and thev told me must not waken her. 1 did not tell any one what troubled me, but stole caek to my bel, rekolv--dtorise caily in the morning. and tell her how iorry i was for my conduct. The oun uaa shining br'mhtiy when I auoke, and hurrying on my, clothes, I hastened to my moth-; ci's room. Slnr was dead! she never spoke to me more never j.ii led ou me uain ; and when I touched the ham! that used to rest upon niv head in Messing, it was so cold that it made me. start. I bowed down by her side, and sobbed in the bitterness of my heart.

I thought then I wished I could die, and be buried with her; and, old as I now am, I would Rive worlds, were they mine to give, could my mother but have lived to tell mc she forgave my childish ingratitude. I3ut I cannot call her back, and when I stand by her grave, and whenever .1 think of her manifold kindness, the memory of that reproachful look she gave mc, will '-bite like a serpent, and sting like an adder."

LORD AVONMORE. Lord Avonmorc was subject to perpetual fits of absence, and was frequently insensible to the conversation that was going on. He was mice wrapped in one of his' wonted reveries; and, not hear-' ing one syllable of what was passing, (it was at a large professional dinner given by Mr. 'Bushe,) Curran, who was sitting next to his lordship, having been called on for a toast. gave "Ah our absent friends'' patting, at the same tine, Lord A. on the shoulder. and trlling him that they h id just drunk his health. Quite uncon-j scions of any thing that had been said for the last hour, and taking the intimation as a serious one.

From h'tim's .ht j 'Thinking. Takr council ofthiur own heart, for thi-rt! is nonr mure f iithful. 'Flic hrst practical rule of morality i., never to do but what you arc willing all the world should know. Always to prevent our appetites, is not to gratify them, hut to cxtincnUh them. Abstain that you niav enjoy. He moderate in your pleasures," that your relish for them may continue. Let fame be regarded, but conscience much more. It is an empty joy to appear better than you arc. but of the utmostconsequence to be what you ouht to be. We content ourselves with appearing to be what we are not, instead of endeavouring to be what we appear. In important actions, we are guided less by conscience than by glory : and yet the shortest way to arrive at glory, is to act upon a principle of conscience. If it be beneficial to stoi c up ideas of gardens, buildings, landscapes, how much more to store up ideasof virtuous charactersar.d meritorious actions'. If the former to a! to serenity, and cheerfulness of tcm.. i, the latter produce tin same effect, together with one more important, that of improving us in virtue. Ht f ore you et ynur heart upon any thing, c onsider whether it give an additional happiness to the posessoi. The gratification of our desire is often the worst thing that can bcfil us. Lxamine well the council that falls in with vour desires. Let your conduct be the result of deliberation, never of importance. ! A house had better be too small for a night, than too large for a year. The shortest way to be rich, is is not by enlarging our estate, but by contracting our desires. And to be contented with a little, takes from our pain rather than our pleasure. There is no condition that doth not sit well upon a wise man. I hall never quarrel with a philosopher for living in a palace; but will not excuse him if he cannot content himself with a cottage. I shall not be scandalized to behold him in the apparel of kings, pro vided behave not their ambition. Let Aristippu possess the riches

of Crcesus, it matters not; he will

throw them away so soon as they incommode him. let i'lato su 9dow n at the table of Dionysius the tyrant.$ometimes he will eat noth-jg ng but rlUves. The sordid meal
