MY FATHER.

If H. I JACKIOI.

As die the embers on the hearth, Arid o'er the door the shadows fill, And creeps the chirping cricket forth, And ticks the death-watch in the wall, I see a form in yonder chair. That grows beneath the waning light; There are the wan. thin features there, The pallid brow and locks of white.

It FATHIII when they laid thee down And heaped the clay upon thy breast, And left thee sleeping all alone, Upon thy narrow couch of rest; I know not why I could not weep, The soothing drops refused to roll, And oh! that grief is wild and deep Which settles tearless on the soul.

But when I saw thy vacant chair, 'I hine idle but upon the wall,

Thy book—the peircilled passage where Thine eye had rested last ofttll—

The Tree beneath whose friendly shade 'I‘hy tremblittg feet had wandered forth,

The every prints those feet lisd made When last they feehly trod the earth.

And thought. while countless ages fled, 'I‘by vacant seat would vacant stnnd— Unworn thy |iut—thy books uriread— Elfaced thy footsteps frotn the sand; And widowed in this cheerless world 'I'he heart that gave its love to thee; Torn like the vine whose teudrile curled More closely round the falling tree.

Oh! Father! then for her and thee, Gushed madly lorth the scalding tears; And oft, and long, and bitterly Those tears have guslted in later years; For as the world grows cold around, And things take olftheir real hue, ’Tis sad to learn that love is found Alone above the stars with you.

TIIE POOR MAN TO HIS SON. sv suns coox.

Work, work, my boy. be not afraid, Look labour boldly in the face;

Take up the hammer or the spade, And lush not for your humble place.

Hold up your brow in honest pride. Thong rough and swartli your hands may he; Such hands are sap-vcitrs that provide The life-blood of the uation’s tree.

There is honour in the toiling part, 'l‘hnt finds us in the furrowed fields; It stamps a crest upon the heart \Vorth more than all your quartered shields.

(From the London People‘: Journal.) THE FIRST LESSON.

No teaching like a mother's !—no lessons sink into the virgin soil of childhood so deeply as those learnt at the loving mother’s knee ; the seed sown thus, and then. may be hidden for years, but it still lives and influences the life and actions of the learner ever thereafter. lll fares it with the man who has no remem- brance of kneeling as it child beside his mother’s knee, and

learning his first lessons from her lipe—he knows nothing of

one of life's holiestniemories ; and great is the responsibility of that mother who confides her child’s first teachings to another —who allows a stranger to write on the tablets of her child’s mind that which will bias its whole life's career, and bess indestructible as the mind itself. The lives of the great men of history, most of them—snd when we say great men, we under- stand good men—prove this; they have looked back to the time when their teacher was their mother, and thence have traced a silent influence that was ever about them—a “ still small voice” heard amid the loud turmoil of busy life; and though

Chances mock‘d and changes fill‘d the cup of alternation,

that chiefly led them onward, and set them in high places in sight of their fellows. And all great men have loved the nie- mor of those mothers; other loves may have posscsse‘ them- the eve of ltouor. of fame, of woman—but the love of her who framed their childish accents, and formed their minds, has transcended all—set as a star apart,and worshipped when they looked to heaven. Other loves may fall “ into the sets, the

ellow leaf"—msy have been minglrd with suffering, and

sve left regret and disappointment behind; but this beginning with the first breath of being, ends only with its last. Years will steal beauty from the mother’s brow, light from her eye. and leave whitened hair and feeble footsteps. but. what nftliail —when the tlireescore years and ten attended. it may be, with sorrow snd trouble manifold, are ended, and poorly chequered with scanty joys, and the boy who knelt at her knee has grown into s man experienced in the world’s many ways, her love for him is fresh as ever; and his for her will have but grown warmer, deeper: then looking on that countenance. in which still lingers the early beauty that had clothed it as with s glo- riousgsrment, he may feel as did one whose filial love found such words as these to picture his mother in her matron soli- tude—" Hail to thee, my arent! as then sittest there, in thy widow's weeds, in the dusky parlour in the house overgrown with the lustrous ivy of the sister isle, the solitary house at the end ofthe retired court, shaded by lofty poplars. Hail to thee! dame ofthe ovsl face, olive complexion, and Grecian forehead; by thy table seated; with the mighty volume of the good Bishop Hopkins spread out before thee; there is peace on thy ountensnce, the true peace; peace sround thee, too, in thy solitary dwelling. No more earthly cares and affections now, my mother l ‘ Yes, one. Why dost thou raise thy dark and still brilliant eye from the volume with a somewhat start- led glance? What noise is that in the distant street! Mere- ly the noise of s hoof; a sound common enough : it draws near- er— nesfer, and now it stops before thy gate. Singular! And now there is s psnse—s long pause. Ha! thou hesrest some- thing-a footstep, a swift but heavy footstep ! thou rist-st,thou tremblest : there is s hand on the pin of the outer door, there is some one in the vestibule; and now the door of thy apart- ttient opens: there is s reflection on the mirror b:-hind ihee—s travelling cap. a are head, and s sun-burnt face—‘ My dear- est see !’—' My dsr ing rnother !” Yes, the mother recognised in the distant street the trsinp of her son wsuderet‘s horse.
