REFLECTIONS.
cron BECEivcra a copy oi ky ferst poem fcblish-
ED IN THE KEVFEPAPERS.
Ah! her it is! I'm famous now,
An author and a poet!
It really is in print! Ye Gods! t
. How proud 111 be to show it!
And gentle Anna! What a thrill
Will animate hef breast,
JTo read these lines and know v
To whom they are addressed.
Why bless my soul! here's something strange,
What can the paper mean,
By talking of the "graceful brooks
That ganaer o'er the green.
And here's T instead of R,
Which makes it nipping rill:"
"We'll selk the Shad" instead of "shade,"
And "hell" instead of "hill."
"They look so," what ? I recollect,
Twas "sweet," and then 'twas "kind;"
And now to think the stupid fool,
- For "bland" has printed "blind."
Was ever such provoking work
'Tia curious, by the by
How any thing is rendered blind
By giving it an eye.
"Hast thou no tears," the T'a left out,
"Hast thou no cars," instead; '
"I hope that thou art dear," is put
"I hope that thou art dead."
Whoever saw in such a space
So many blunders crammed!.
"Those geniAe eyes bedimmed," is spelt
"Those gentle eyes bedammed."
The celor of the rose" is 'nose," ,
"Affection," is "affliction;" ' I
I wonder if the likeness holdj -
.' In fact as woll a fiction? .
"Thou art a friend," the R is gone;
Who ever would have deemed
That such a tricing thing could change
"A friend" into "fiend."
"Thou art the same" is rendered "fame,"
It really is too bad;
And here, because an I is out,
My "lovely maid" is "mad;"
. . They drove her blind by poking in
An eye a process new;
And now they've gouged it out again,
And made her crazy, too.
"Where are the muses fled, that thou,
V Shouldst live so long unsung?" " .
Thus read my version here it is
"Shouldst live so long unhung."
"The fate of woman's love is thino,"
And H commences "fate "
LTow small a circumstance will turn
A woman's love to hate!
111 read no morel What shall I do!
IH never dare to send itl -The
paper's scattered far and wide, .
'Tis now too late to mend it.
0 Fame! thou cheat of huiuan bliss!
Why did I ever write!
1 wish my poem had been burnt
Before it saw the light.
Let's stop and recapitulate:
I've dammed h9r eyes, that's plain
I've told her she is a lunatic;
' And blind, and deaf, and lame. . .
Was ever such a horrid hash.
In poetry or prose?
I've said she was a fiend, and praised
The color of her nose.
I wish I had that editor
About a half a minuit,
I'd BANuhim to his heart's content," .- .
' And with an H begin it.
I'd jam his body, eyes and bones,
. And sp?U it with an.
And send him to that hill of bis
' He spells it with an E. .
A TEW . M0SE DAYS.
A fow more days on earth to spend,
And all my toils n nd cares shall end,
. And I shall see my God and friend,
;" . And praise his name on high.
There's no more sighs and no more tean,
There's no mor pains and no mere fears,
But God and Christ and heaven appears,
. Unto the ravished eye.
Then O! say houI despond no mora,
The storm of life will Boon be o'er,
And I shall fiiid the paacef ul shors
Of everlasting rest.
O happy day 1 O joyful hour!
When, ffeed from earth, my soul shall tower,
iieyona tnereaco oi featan s power,
To be forever blest!
lly soul anlicipates the day,
I'd joyfully the call obey,
. Which summons my soul away, .
To scats prepared above.
There J shall see my Saviour's face, . .
And dwell in his beloved embrace,
And tnste the fullne of his grace,
And sing redeeming lovet
. . (
Though dire afSictions press me sore, '
And death'8 dark billows roll before,
Tet still by faith I seo the shroe, ' .
Beyond the rolling flood. '
The heavenly Caanan, sweet and fair, .
Before my ravished eyes appear,
And makes me think I'm almost there,
... In yonder bright abode.
'. . '- ,
To earthly cares I'd say farewell, : :
And triumph pver death and hell,
And go where sain ts and angels dwell,
. To praise the Eternal three'..
Ill join with those who're gone before, .
Who sing and shout, their sufferings o'er,
Where pain and parting are bo more, '
To all eternity! ' .

I smokes vej cigar,
And when the smokerises

" I thinks of ray true love, -'
And O, how. sighscs!'

PRAYER.
i'Pray without ceasing." 1 Thes
"Prayer was appointed to convey 1 .
The blessings God designs to give;
. , Long as they live should Christians pray,
- . For only while they pray they live."
. . , . .Hart.
"Prayer is a retirement from earth,
to intend on God, arid hold correspon
dence with him that dwells , in heaven.
The things of the world, therefore,
must be commanded to stand by for a
season and to abide at the foor of the
mount, while we walk up higher to
offer up our sacrifices as Abraham did,
and to meet our God." Waits.
"In every storm that either frowns or falls,
- ' What an asylum has the soul in prayer!"
- . Young.
"In the absence of the sun, the mild
arid peaceful radiance of the moon
enlivens our path. Lei devotions spred
a cheering light over your darkest
hours. The queen of night says
Bowdler, 'unvails its full beauty, when
the hours of joy and lustre have passed
away, pouring, as it were, a- holy light
through the damps and. darkness of
adversity, llius will constant prayer
cheer the darkest season of affliction."
Bickersteth, .
"The best means of keeping near to
God is the closet. Here the battle is
won or Jost." Payson.
"In this valley of sorrow and strifo,
Prayer shaU rise with my earliest breath;
. It shall mix in the business of life, ,
And soften the etrtggles of death." '
: Cunningliam. '
"As the heart" panteth after ,the
water brooks, so panteth my soul after
thee, Q God. When shall I come and
appear before God?"--David.
"Prayer, is the most secret mter-
i course of the soul with God? and as it
were, the conversation of one heart
with another," Dr. A. Clarke. .
"A little girl about four years of age
being asked, Vhy do you pray to
God?' replied, 'Because I know he
hears me, and I love to pray to him
'But how do you know he hears your
Putting the little hand to heart, she
said, 'I know he does, because there is
something here that tells me so, "
Arvme s Cyclopedia.
"Angels are round the good man, to
catch theincense of his prayers; and
they fly to minister kindness to those
for whom he pleaneth. Tapper.
rrayer is notxeioquence, out ear
nestness; not the definition of help
lessness, but tup feeling of it; not

"O thou, by whom we come to God
The Life, the Truth, the Way:
The path of prayer thyself hast trodj
Lord, teach ns how to pray."
Montgomery.
"Lip labor though it be ever
so
well labored, if it be all, is lost labor'
-31. Henry.
"Is any among "you afflicted? let

The following is given as the life o
an M. D., but we. apprehend that much
of the same is experienced by men
engaged in other pursuits.
A Doctor's Life. By an M. D. of
Allna, Migh. The following are some
of the sweets of a doctor's life: If he
I visits a few of his customers when they
i are wen, it is xo get nis cunner; n ne
n - j l x . i - i f i
don t do so, it is because he cares more
about the fleece than the flock. If he
goes to the church regularly, it is be
cause he has nothing else to do; if he
don t go, it is because ha has no re
Ispect for. the Sabbath or religion.
he Speaks to a poor person, ha keeps
bad company; if he passes them by
he. is better than other tolks. sLf he
has a good carriage, he is extra vigant
if he uses a poor one on the score
Of
economy, he is. deficient . in necessary
pride. If he makes parties, it is to
soft-soap the people to get their money;
if he don't make them, he is afraid of
a cent! If his horse is fat, it is because
he has nothing to do; if he is lean, it
is because he isn't taken care of., If
he drives fast, it. is to make people
think somebody is very sick: if he
drives slow, he has no interest, in the
welfare of his.patientsl If he dresses
neat he is proud; jf.he does not,' he is
wanting in self-respect. . If he works
on the land, he is fit for nothing but a
farmer; if he don't work, it is because
I he is too lazy to be anything. If he
talks much, "we don't want a doctor
to tell everything he knows;" if he don't
talk, "we like to see a
doctor social"
If he says anything about politics, he
had better let it alone; it he don t say
anything about it "we like to see a
man .show his colors." If he visits his
patients every day,, it is to run up the
bill; it he don t, it is unjustifiable neg
ligence. . IS ho says anything about
Ireligjon, he is a hypocrite;, if he dont,
he is an infidel. If he uses any of the
popular remedies of the day, it is to
cater, to the whims and prejudices of
the people ' to fill his pockets; if he
don't use them, it is from professional
selfishness. If he is in the habit of
having counsel ofteriit is because he
knows nothing; if he obiects to having
it on the ground that he understands I
his Own business, he is afraid of ex-
posing his ignorance to his superiors,
If he gets pay for one half his services,
he has the reputation of belng'a ezq
manager. W ho wouldn t be an Mi D.?

"A week or two since., a decently

of our townsman, Mr. Muirhead. iewe-

and quietly asked.

"As Mr. Muirhead had at the mo-
ment no remembrance of having done!
any business with the man. he asked
him in turn: . ' '
"When did vou leave your watch?"
"Oh," said the other, "I didn't leave
it in this shop, for ye were owre by in
Nelson street when ye got it." ;
"That must have been a lon-r time
. . i
ago, then," said Mr. Muirhead; "for
we left Nelson street: in 1838. That
is seventeen years, since." '
w . ..I
"But I left it with ye, for a' that.
"What Was the name and mimher of
the watch?" f
"These were described to a nicetv:
and on opening the repository, it was butter, and weighs six pounds and - a
found safe" and sound! ' Exactly twenty quarter. An intellectual baby,.too--ta'o?earhad
passed away since Duncan 1 rca- - 'Think of that! . Six pounds
had handed it in for repair yet he called and a quarter, and a boy at that! Bless
tor it at the end ot thatperiod as coolly
as if he had only left it the nre ceding
week!
. . " -M
"Why . have you not called for your
watch before? asked Mr. Muirhead.
"Ye see, I am a sawyer by trade
and Igaed ower to America that season
to see how things' were looking: fori
kent the watch wouldbe safe till I came
back:-but 1 staid a wee toucht longer
ihan I intended!" . ' '

establishment to match? Many would

Here is one of the most admirable
of the Chinese proverbs: "Tie not thy
shoe in a field of melons, nor adjust
thy cap under a plum tree." ' We re
member a time in our earlier days,
when we would have vastly profited by
this proverb in the following form:
"Pick not up chestnuts from thy neigh
bor's tree, or he will surely set his dog
i .... u
upon thee:
Both the following proverbs, look out
steadfastly for "number one": "Every
man draws the water to his own mill.
"Better a grape for me than two figs
for thee." .
Idle speculation for the future, with
out endeavor in the present have this
fruition: "He that builds castles in the
air shall soon'haveno land' Such a

plied in another proverb, is noble and
i- i ; 1 -u vi a
generous: . "He that plants trees, loves
others besides himself. Who has
ever passed through Northampton and
seen the stately elms planted more than
a century ago by Jonathan Edwards,
front feehW that a man who r,rovidPa
for the summer shade of other genera
tions, is a true lover of mankind?
The number of proverbs which recog
nize the existence and power of the
Creator, and the workings of Divine
Providence, is remarkable. They are
c
to be found not only in the Scriptures,
mi C . ..11 11 . l .
xne scriptures similarly declare mat
not a sparrow falls to the ground with
out the notice of our Heavenly Father,
and that tho hairs of our head are
