A Child’s Dream.
“ Oh! I have had ii dream, mother!
So beautiful and strange;
I would I could sleep on, mother,
' And that dream never change!”

Thy look is bright and wild;
Thy inother’s ear is ready
To listen to her child 7”
“ I dreamed I lily’-IISIBBP, mother,
Beneath an orange tree,
When a white bird came and sang,
So sweetly unto me.
Though it woke me with its warbling,
Its notes were soft and low,
It bade me rise and follow,
Wherever it might: go.
‘It: led me on and on, mother,
Through groves and realms of light,
Until it. canto to one, mother,
\Vliicli dazzled. ’twas so bright.
As tremlilingly I entered
An angel foriii drew near,
And bade me welcome thither,
Nor pain nor sorrow fear.
I know not aught was here, mother,
I only felt: ‘twas oliss.
Aiidjoiiicd that white bird's song,mother

“ Yes. dearest, to thy mother,

The Holy Spirit was that. bird,—--
That gave the light of Heaven.”

\Vliose yellow leaves lie sire wed beneath;
\Vhile low, sweet. voices scent to be

Regretted, find an early tomb.

Our youth of its gray COl'lifll;
And lieaniy’s withered honors weaves
To grace the saddest funeral.
Thus is it in thy yellow weeds.

To scatter with suinnier blossoming seeds,

MISQELLANY.
The Noblcness of a True Life.
BY HON. HORACE MANN.
Whoever yields to temptation debases
himself with a dc-basement from which he
can never arise. This, indeed, is the calam-
ity of calamities, the liittcrest dreg in the cup
of bitterness. Every pnrlghteous act tells
with 21 thousand fold more force upon the.
actor than upon the sufferer‘. The false man
is more false to himself than any one else.
He may clcspoil others, but himself is the
chief loser. The woild’s scorn‘ he might
soriietiines forget, but the knowledge of his
own perfidy is undying. The fire of guilty
passions may torment whatever lies within
the circle of its rad-ations; but fire is always
hottest at the center, and that centre is the
profligate’s own heart.
A man can be wronged and live; but the
unresisted, unchecked impulse to do wrong
is the first and second death. The moment
any one of the glorious faculties with which
God has endowed us is abused or misused
that faculty loses, forever, a portion of its
delicacy and its energy. Every injury
which we inflict upon our moral nature in
this life, must dull, forever and ever, our
keen capacities of enjoyment, though in the
midst of infinite bliss, and weaken our power
ofasceiision, where virtuous spirits are ever
ascending.
It must send us forward into the next stage
of existence niaiined and crippled, so that
however high we may soar, our flight
will always be less lofty than ll. would other-
yvisc have been ; and however exquisite our
bliss, it \v.ll always be less exquisitely blissful
than it was capable of being. A
Every instance ofviolated conscience, like
every broken string in a harp, will limit the
compass ol its music, and mar its harmonies
forever. Tremble, then, and forbear, oh
man ! when thou wouldst forget the dignity
of thy nature and the immortal glories of thy
destiny; for ifthou dost cast down thine
eyes to look with complacency upon the
tempter, or lend thine ear to listen to his se-
ductions, thou dost doom tliyselfao move for
ever and ever tli_roug‘h inferior spheres of
being; thou dost wound and dim the very
organ with which alone thou ciinst behold
the splendors of eternity, ' i
The world is enlei'ing upon a new moral
cycle_. The great heart of humanity is
heaving with hopes of a brighter day. ‘ All
the higher instincts of our nature propliésy
its zippi_'.0a£'.l1; anclftlie best i_ntel-lccts of the
face are struggling to turn that prophecy‘ to

center of the earth, they would burst its
ranite folds, speed onward in their career,
fulfill their destiny. They are imbued with
They must prevail or the
idea ofa Moral Governor of the universe is
an imposture, and the divine truths of the
gospel a fable.
Here, then, is opened a new and noble
career for the ambition of subduing men into
slaves, but the holy ambition of elevating
them into peers; not for usurping principality
or kingdom, but for building himself up into
principality and kingdom; not merely for
gathering renown, as it were, star by star
to be woven into a glittering robe for his
persop, or to make a crown of glory for his
head ;‘ but to expand his own soul into gran-
der proportions, to give it angelic and arch-
angelic loftiness of stature, and to fill it per-
petual"-ly with that song of joy which even
the morning stars could not but sing when
they beheld the splendor of the Godhead re-
flected from the new creation.
Here are opportunities, means, incite-
ments, through which the young man may
build himself up more and more into a like-
ness ofthe universe in which he dwells, and
configure himself more and more to the In-
finite Perfection that governs it.
Inpa physical and in a spiritual sense, the
nniv.ei‘.se around us is full; and as we can-
not go beyond the circuinference of present
physical discoveries without discovering new
theatres of being, so_also we cannot go be-
yond the circuinference of present physical
discoveries without discovering the new thi-—
atres of being, so also we cannot go beyond
the circumference of existing spiritual rela-
tions without finding new spirituol relations.
Columbus was devoted to the study of
geography. As the result of that study, he
felt that there was a continent to be discover-
ed ; and he discovered it. The mind of
Newton pondered on astronomical truths.-
H is contcmplations engendered the belief
that some cohesive principle bound together
the worlds on high ; and he demonstrated
the law of gravitation. \V-ashington was a
patriot. He yearned for liberty, and by his
valor and his wisdom our republictwzis es-
tablished.
So new moral blessings and beauties are
certain to reward the efforts of new moral
power, whatever direction that power may
take. Grander discoveries than any which
have yet been made, revelations that lay be-
yond the kcn of Bacon’s far-seeing vision
and beauties that shone outside the imagina-
tion of the vast mind of Shakspeare, await
the evoking power of philantliropic genius.
Benevolence is a world of iisilf, a word
which mankind, as yet, have liaidly begun
to explore. We have, as it were, only skirt-
ed along its coasts for a few leagues, with-
out pcnctrating the recesses, or gathering the
riches of its vast interior. Hostile nations
and repugnant races of men are wayward
and devious orbs, yet to be brought into zi
system of brotherhood by the attractions ol
love. Justic'e, honor, love, and truth, are
the co er-stones of the holy government
which is yet to be organized upon earth.
For all true.licai-ted adventurers. into
these new realms of enterprise, there are.
moral Edens to be planted, such as Milton
with his celestial verse could never describe,
and there are heights of moral sublimity to
be attained, such as Rosse with his telescope
could never descry.
Glowing with a vivid conception of these
truths, so wonderful and so indisputable, let
me ask, whether, among all the spectacles
which earth presents, and which angels
might look down upon with an ecstacy too
deep for utterance, is there one fairer and
more enrapturing to the sight than that of a
young man, just fresh from the Creator’s
hands’, and with the unspent energies of the
coming eternity wrapped up in his bosom,
surveying and recounting, in the solitude of
his closet or the darkness of midnight, the
mighty gifts with which be has been endow-
ed, and the magnificent career of usefulness
and of blessedness which has been opened
before him ; and resolving, with one a|l-con-
centrating and all-hallowing vow, that he
will live true to the noblest capacities of his
being. and in obedience to the highest law of
his nature l
lf aught can be nobler or sublimer than
this, it is the life that fulfils the vow. Suc.h
a young man revérences the divine skill and
wisdom by which his physical frame has
been so fearfully and wonderfully made;
and he keeps it pure and clean, as a fit terri-
ple for the living God. For every indul-
gence of appetite that would enervate the
body, or dull the keen sense, or cloud the
luminous brain, hc has a “Get thee behind
me l” so stern and deep; that the balked sa-
tans of temptation slink from before him in
shame and despair.
Hypocrisy and pliarisaical pride are loath-
some lo the young man of a true heart, yet
he rejoices to be known, at all times and
everywhere, as a religious man; for, not
less in the mzirts of business and the hilari-
ties of a social intercourse, than in the sanct-
uary or on the death-bed, he feels how in-
finitely unmanly it is to be ashamed of the
noblest and divinest tribute in all his nature
And when, in the fullness of patriarchal
years, crowned with clustering honors, and
covered with the beatitudes, as with a gar-
ment, he brings his heroic life to a triumph-
ant close, the celestial light that bursts from
the opened and welcoming gates of heaven,

Clierry B1-a1iuly.—-—“ Pm here.”
The Lord of Bonnemoon was very fond
of his bottle. On one occasion he was ask-
ed to dine with Lord R , a neighbor of
his; and his Lordship being well acquaint-
ed with the L=iird’s dislike to small drinks
ordered a bottle of cherry brandy to be set
before him after dinner, instead of port,
which he always drunk in preference to
claret, when nothing better was to be got.-
The Laird thought this fine heart-some stuff,
and went on filling his glass like the rest,
and telling his jokes, and ever- the more be
praised bis Lordship’s Po-rt. “ It was a
fine full-bodied wine, and lay well on the
stomach, not like that poisonous Claret, that
makes a body fell as if he had swallowed a
nest of puddocks.” The Laird had find she
one bottle of Cherry brandy, or as his Loril-
ship called it, his “particular,” and had just
tossed off a glass of the second bottle which
he thought to be even better than the first,
when his old confidential servant, W-atty,
came slaving into the room, and making his
best bow, announced that his Laird’s horse
was at the door.
“Get out of that, ye fause loon,” cried
the Laird, pulling off his wig and flinging it
at \iVatiy’s head, “ Do no ye see, you blather-
ing brute, that I’m just beginning my sec-
ond bottle!”
“ But maister,” says Vlfatty, scratching his
head, “ its arnaist twall o’clock.” ,
“ Vlfell, what though it be?” said the
Laird, turning up his glass with drunken
gravity, while the rest of the company were
like to split their sides laughiiig at him and
Wavy “ lt canna be ony later, my man,
so reach me my wig and let the nuig bide a
wee.”
It was a cold, frosty night, and VVatty was
soon tired of kicking his heels at the door,
—so in a little while back he comes, and
says he, “Maister, maister, it’s amaist one
o'clock."
“ \Ve-cl, VVai.ty,” says the Laird, with a
hickup, “ it will never be any earlier, Wat-
ty, my man, and that is a comfort, so you
may just rcst yoursel’ a wee while longer
till I finish my bottle. A full belly makes
21 stiff back, you know, Wally.”
IV-any was by this time dancing mad, so
after waiting another half hour, back he
comes, and says he-—
“ Laird, Laird, as true,as true as death,
the sun’s a rising.”
“ Weel, VVatiy,” says the Laird, looking
awful wise and trying with both hands to fill
his glass, “let him rise, he has further to
gang the day than you or me, \-Vatty ”
This answer fairly dumbfounded poor
Vv'aity, and he gave it up in despair. But
at last the bottle was finished; the Laird
was lifted into the saddle, and off he started
in high glee, thinking the moon was the sun,
and that he had fine daylight for hisjourney
home.
“ I-Iech, Watty, my man,” said the Laird,
patting his .<tomach,and speaking awful thick,
“we were none the worse for that second
bottle, this frosty inornin’ ”
“ Faiih,”says W'atty, blowing his fingers
and looking blue as a billberry, “ yer honor
is may be none the worse for it, but I am
mine the better; I wish I was."
Well, on they rode, the Laird gripping
hard at the horse’s mane and rolling about
likeja sack of meal; for the cold air was be-
ginning to make the spirits tell on him. At
last they come to a bit of a brook that cross-
ed the road. and the Laii'd’s horse being pret-
ty well used to having his own way, stopped
short and put down his hired to take a drink.
This had the effect to make the Laird lose
his balance, and away he went over the
horse’s cars, into the middle of the brook.—
The Laird, holiest man, had just sense
enough to hear the splash, and to know that
something was wrong; but he was so drunk
that he did not in the least suspect that it
was himself.
“VVatty,” says he, “there’s surely some’-
thing tumbled in the brook."
“ Faith you may say that,” replied 'Watty,
ready to tumble off his horse with laughing,

The Bank of England —-An American
correspondent ofthe New York Independent,
writing from London says :—-
“ I have find access to the interior of the
Bank of England, and seen how dumb iron
rods connected with a shaft turned by steam
power tell how many bank notes are struck
olfin the room above; how a box of paper
will not come out of its place itsi-lf put there
by machinery, till :1 similar box of notes are
brought back to be deposited there, and in
turn to be removed by mechanical force;
and how light unwoi-thy coins, as if conscious
of their sins will tremble a moment on the
ballancc which to are moved by steam, and
leap olfin an opposite direction from the
good ones; and how the blind agencies of
brute matter are elsewhere furnished with
eyes to guard the treasures of the establish-
ment. In some instances three men must
move in company wbith their difiiarent keys
or else these treasures cannot be reached.-
The arrangements throughout are ,TElIlal‘l{d-
bl exact and and complete. There are nine
hundred employed in and about the bank.
One room contained only £30,000,0Cl0.\Vul‘lll

There is a man in Schenectady so

He is the same old gentleiniin who looks at

“ My ‘dear, I’ll thank you for a little more
sugar in my coffee, if you please.” ,
“ My dear! Don’t dear rue. I’d-as soon!
have you call me my devil as my dear.”
“ Well, my devil, then, I’ll thank you for‘
a little more sugar in my coffee.”
At this proof of affection on the part of her’
husband, Mrs. Snapdragon burst into tears.-
She had got up as the saying is, “ wrong.)
end foremost” that morning, and nothing‘
could please her. She was not b‘efter plea;
sed with being called my devil, than‘ my’
clear, though she had but a minute before‘
declared that she preferred it. On the con-‘
trary, she took her husband bitterly to taslé
for ibis ready compliance with her sugges-
tion. , _
“ Oh, you vile, wicked, good-for-nothing‘
man l” slie exclaimed; is it thus you treat-
your affectloiiate wife? Is it thus you dare‘
apply names to hei'——names which -I dare‘
not mention '2”
“My devil, you need not mention it now.-
You suggested the idea—you put the very’
words into my mouth——and I like to comply
with you request, so, my dear——my devil, [.-
mcan —-a little more sugar if you please.’
“Sugar, I won’t give you a jot more. l’ll
see you hanged first. . You use more sweet-‘
riiiig than your neck is worth.”
“I've acquired that habit from having so‘
sweet a wife. Besides, I pay for it with my’
own iuoni-.~y.”
“ Now, reproach me with that, do you If
I did not bring you any money, I brought"-
you respectable connections, and ”
“ True you brought all your connec:
tions.” .
“ Now you reproach me with that do you?
I dare say you griidge my relations every’
mouthful they out while they are here.”
“ I grudge nothing, my dear——I would say
dev—.” -
“ Don’t use that word again, Mr. Snap-7
drzigon——if you do, I’ll leave the table.”
“ Tliank you, my love; then l’ll help my"
self to sugar." .
“ Yes, and you would help you'rself,I dare‘
sny, ifl was gone.” ‘
“I am afraid there is little chance of that.-
But my coffee is cooling while I am ivaitingi
for the sugzur. ,
“ Then it will be like your love, whiclt‘
has been cooling ever since we were mar:
rlcd." '
‘- Thank you, my love; there’s nothing‘
like ti sharp acid for a cooling draught.”
“ Sl'liil'_) acid ‘.2 do you call me a sharp
acid '2 l’ll not endure your taunts any longer.-
l’ll go home to my connections. l’ll have‘
scp;ir::itc nz;-.intenarice.”
"Whenever you please, my dc‘?-—darl-‘
ing.”
“I won’t take such pesky language front
you.” ,
[Going with the sugar bowl, in her hand]-‘
‘- My dear, leave the sugar bowl, if you.‘-
please.”
“ Here, take it?”

“I want to tell you asecret. The way to‘
make yourself pleasing to others, is to show
that you care for them. The world is like’
the miller of Mansfield, “ who cared for no-‘
body, no’, not be, l)CCi1Ll.‘50 nobody cared for’
him.”
so, if you give them the some cause. Let?
every oiio, therefore, see that you do not cure‘
for them by showing them wliatStern so liap-'
pily calls “ the small swe‘ctc-ourtesics of life,”'
those couricsics in which their is no parade,-
whose voice is so still to tease, and which
manifests themselves by tender and affection-‘
ute looks, and little kind acts of attention-—-'
giving others the pri-ference in every little‘
enjoyment at the table, in the field, walking,-
sitiing or standing. ‘This is the spirit that-
gives to your time of life, and to your sex, its
swectestcliarins. It constitutes the sum to-'
tal of all the ivitchcraft of woman. Let the‘
world see that your greatest care is for your-'
self and you will spread the solitude of the‘
lpas tree around you in the same way, by’
the emanation of a pioson, which kills all the‘
jucies ofaffcction in its neighborhood. Such
a girl may be admired for her understand-‘
ing and accomplislimcnts, but she never will
be beloved. , ~ ,
i‘ The seeds oflove can never grow buf-
under the warm and genial influence ofkihd
feelings and affecttoneite manners. Vivacity
goes a great way in a young persons. ltcalls
attention to her who displays it; and ifit then
be found associated with a generous sensibil-
ty, its execution is irresistible.”
“ On the contrary, if it be found in alliance‘
-with a cold haughty, selfish heart it produces
no furthcr effect, except an adverse one. At-‘
tend to this my daughter it flows from a bear:
that feels for you all the anxiety a parent can‘
feel, and not without that hope which con-
stitutes the parent’s highest happiness. May’
God protect an'J- bless you.”
T/Vcll Regulated ‘C/ia.rily—As Pisistra-'
ms, the Grecian general, walked through
some of the fields, Several persons implored
his charity. “ If you want beasts to plow"
your land,” said he, “ I will lend you some;
if you want land I will lend you some; if
you’ want seed to sow your land I will give‘
you some; but I will encourage none in‘
idleness.” By this conduct in a short time
there was not a beggar in all his dominions.
