“ We do not make our thoughts: they grow in us. Liko ruiiiii in wood; the growth is of the skies \\'hic i are of Nature—Nature is of God "

Baititv's "k‘ls'rl's."

Ir sweeps across the soul, And you cannot stay its course;

It sways, with its divine control,

The heart of man, as the billows roll, With ii deep, resistless force.

It comes in the morning hour With the son] of the early birds; And the spirit springs to its fresh’ning power, And drinks the beauty of dew and flower And the tones of loving words.

It comes in the sultry noon, When the drowsy air is still, Aiitl we breathe tho full, flush rose ofJune, While the birds sink down in a listless swoon 0n the useless wheel at. the mill.

It comes in the twilight eve With visions of penile thing; It soothes each sorrow for which we grive, And its moonlit fancies around us weave Their silent silken wings .

It comes in the midnight deep And over loved ones gone before,

For whom we vainly, wildly weep—

Wliile their white and trailing garments sweep Across the ccholess floor.

It comes in'tho soft spring time And fills the bright years up;

Anil love is music, and life ii rhyme.

And the bells peril out the-young heart's cliinic, And the wine o’crflows the cup.

It comes in the summer tide,

When the heart is flush with joy; And the future summers onward glide Witli never a sorrow to divide

The gold from the alloy.

It comes in the autumn days,

When the eyes turn fondly back, When we see the Indian summer haze Which dinis forever the golden blaze

Ofyoung life‘s sunny track.

And in winter, trio, alas! Its power is still as deep; The frost-blades glitter upon the grass And we see the river our feet must pass Erc we lay us down to sleep.

But, mighty power of ilioughtl Fair, far beyond the tomb, 'Neath thy magic sway ourf'ect are brought To a land of beauty where death is not, Where thy flowers forever bloom.

fittest Eilirnluit. HENRY AND CAROLINE:

OII, I‘ILIAL LOVE REWARDBD.

" My tub.I is simple, and of hiimblo birth, A tribute of respect to real worth."

" You are too parsiuomous, Henry," said Mr. D———. to one of his clerks, as thcy were together in the counting-house, one morning; “ give me leave to say that you do not dress sullicieiitly genteel to appear as it. clerk in ii fashionable store.“ llarry's cheek was suffused with a deep blush, and in spite of his endeavors to suppress it, a tear trembled on his manly check. “Did I not know that yum-salary was siiflicicnt to provide more genteel liabilimonts,“ continued Mr. I) “I should increase it."

“My salary is sufficient, amply stifli- cioiit, sir,” rcplicd lIciiry, iii a voice choked with emotion. but with that proud inde- pendence of feeling which poverty had not bcei 'hli‘. to divest him of". Ills cin- ployt-r noticed his agitation and iuiniedi- iitcly changed the subject.

Mr, D—- was a man ofimmeiiss wcnlth and bciicvolciicu; ho was a widowvr illHl had but one child, ii daughter, who was the pride of his dccliiiing years. She was not as beautiful as an aiirrel, or its perfect as a mans; but the gum mm, the inno- cciiec, the intelligence of'lier mind, shone in her countenance, and you had but I. become acquainted with lioi'.to admire her Such was Caroline Dolaucy, when Ilciii'y first bccnmo an initiate of her father's house. Nowomlcr he semi worshipped :it lll‘l' shrine—no wonder he soon loved her with it deep and devoted attachment—- and, reader, had you known him, you would not have wondered that that love was soon returned, for their souls Were congo» iiial; they were cast in virtiie‘s purest mould—and although their tongues never gave utterance to what their licsrl's loll. yet the language of their eyes was too plain to bc iiiisuiidci‘stood. Henry was the very soul of" honor; and althouin he pcrccivedwith ilcasurc that he was not altogether iiid'i 'crcnt to Caroline, he felt as though he night control the passion thal governed his I) soin. “I must not en- deavot‘f. win horyoulig‘ and autism heart.“ tliutip‘bthc, “ I am pciiiiilcss and cannot expect that. hi'i' father would consent to our union—ho ball over treated me with kindness, and I will not be. iiiw'atehil.‘ Thus he reasoned, and thus hero ally oii- dcai tired to subdue what hc considered on ill-fated passion. Caroline had many suit (ll'S, and f’iilly_\vorthy of her; but she re— fllSL'll all llll'fliitlvt‘l'llll’l's with a. gciitli: get decisive lii'iiiiicss. Her father wondered at her conduct, yet could not thwart her inclination.

He was in the decline of life and wished Io see, her happily settled ere lie qllllft‘ll the state of existence. It was not long 0111 be suspected 'liat young Henry was the cause of her indifference to others; the evident pleasure she took in licsriii him praised. the blush that overspth her cheeks whenever their eyes met, all served to convince flio old gentleman, who had not forgotten that he was once young: him- self, that they fell iiioretliau common iii» turret in each otht-r‘u welfare. Ile foreboi'c making any remarks on the subji-i-i, but was not as displeased at the siippodiiou as fllll‘ peiinilcss Ilcni'y would have iiiiagiii- er .

Ilciii'y had been about a your in his eni- pluy. lh-Iaiicyknewiiothiiigul'liisl'iiiiiily. but his strict integrity, his irrrprnsi-liabli- morals,bis pleasing manners, all conspired to make him esteem him hi lily. lie was

in dress, as well as iiiniincrs, as respect- able as any one. He had often wondered at the scantiiiess of his wardrobe, for Il- tliough be dressed with the most scrupu- lous regard to iieatuess, his clothes were almost threadbare. Mr. I)—— did not wish to think that this proceeded from a iiiggardly disposition, and be determined to breach the subject, and if possible, as- certain the real causo; this he did in the manner before related.

Mr. D—— left home on business. As he was returning, and riding through a beau- tiful little village, ho alighted iii. the door of'n. little cottage and requested a drink. The mistress, with an case and politeness that convinced him that she had not always been the humble cottager, invited him to enter. IIe accepted her invitation—and here a scene of poverty and neiitriess pre- sented itself, such aslio had never before witnessed. The furniture, which consist- ed of nothing more than was necessary, was exquisitely neat so that it gave charms to poverty, and cast an air of comfort all around. A venerable-looking old man, who had not seemed to notice the entrance of Mr. D , sat leaning on his stall‘; his clothes were clean and whole, but so patched, that you could scarcely have told which had been the original piece.

“ This is your Father, I pi'csiiiiio,“ said Mr. l)————, addressing the mistress of the house.

“ It is, sir."

“ He seems to be quite aged."

" He is in his eighty-third year; he has survived till his children except myself.“ h I“You have once seen better days," said

e.

“ I have—my husband was wealth ; but false l’I'iciidsi'uiiicdhim—lieeiidorset notes to a trgc amount, which stripped us of' nearly :ill otirpropcrty, and one misfortune followed another until we, were reduced to complete poverty. My husband did not long survive his losses, and two of my Clllllll’ell 'sooii followed him.“

“ Have you any remaining children 9"

" I have one, and he is my only support. My health is so feeble that I cannot do much, and my liithcr being blind. needs

reat attention. My son conceals from my

uowledge the amount of his salary, but I am convinced that lie sends me nearly all, if not the whole amount of it.“

“ Then he is not wiih you .J"

“ No, sir, ho is clerk for a merchant in I‘ltllll‘ICI'Plllav"

“ Clerk for a merchant in Philadelphia! What is your son‘s mime P"

“ Ilciiry \\'-—-—."

“ Henry W——— l” reiterated Mr. D———, “why, he is my clerk! I left him at my house not a fortnight since.“

Ilero followed a succession of inquiries, which evinced an anxiety and soliciiu Is that. a. mother alone could feel; to all of which Mr. D-—- replied to her perfect satisfaction.
