Eosy Dear, Qid Zeke's Daughter
BV  MBS.E. U. SEYMODR.
One of the loveliest of the thousand lovely spots that adorn the valley of the Connecticut ¦tvas the haunt of my childhood. Il might have been a haunt of fairies and wood nymphs; for they could not have found a sweeter, or more secluded gamboling ground; and I tl'<l sometimes think I heard strange whisperings in the ait, and fairy likc music floating arotind me ; and I sometimes imagined I saw tmy footprints upon the velvet moss. True, the sober tiiought of years rather discards the idea, but we love to foster childhood's im¬ pressions; so I will cherish this, vvith every flower and leaf and ripple of the singing book, and light shadow which are daguerreotyped upon my heart. I would love lo take you lliere to-night, dear reader, and by the light of this lirst autumn moon, talk of daya 'lang syne.' Come, sit with me upon this mossy bank, and see the sofl moonlight flirting with those dan¬ cing ripples.
Perhaps some of you, who have never seen Miss Cynlhia oul of the cily, have always Ihought her a staid and sober damsel; but I assure you that in the country she frollicks about in a mosl unmatronly-like manner. See her, now dancing down that brook, and now playing bo-peep with us through those thick branches, and whispering sofl words to every green leaf that turns its face lowards her, and casting loving glances on these sweet flowers at our feet.
And now>follow with me this litile brook; we will pluck some of those violets that fringe its edge for a memento; now step across the brook, and there, in that little wood beyond, is ray Eden ;—but [ cannot take yoa there, dear reader. There I always go alone. Aword— the slighest whisper—there, would break the perfect harmony that breathes around. 1 wonld hear no voice bul nature's there. The gentle sighing among lhe leaves, the occas¬ ional chirp of an insect, or twitter of a bird oc a falling leaf, speak in more eloquent lones than ever breathed through earthly lips. And then the sometimes perfect mysterious silence which not even a trembling leaf disturbs—ii lulls my spirii, subdues every worldly pass¬ ion, and wilh folded hands I sit listening to the still small voice communing wiih my soul.
Do you see, ihrough the opening beyond the wood, that lillie white collage? That was the home of my lillle heroine.
Old Mr. Mehvood, or old Zeke, as he was always called, waa one to whose poverty mis¬ fortune had been added. He was a cripple, and unable lo do little else than ride to the village and leave at the doors of his enstomers the producls of his lillle farm, which was his only means of suppori. These were few, but he always found a ready market for them; for every one said that old Zeke's vegetables were the best, and his eggs the freshest that were brought lo lown, and thai the berries that pret¬ ty Rose Mehvood sold, were the sweetest that were ever tasted ; indeed, every thing which Rose Melwood had, or said, or did, was the best in the world.
Rose lost her mother in a very early child¬ hood ; and between herself and her falher there exisied thu greatest fondness. She did not love to hear him called " Old Zeke," for il seeraed lo her to give an impression of un¬ worthiness ; bul it was not so, for every one respecled the old mun. I do not kuow how he came to receive that cognomen, but I Ihink it was because his infirmities made hira seem much older than he really was, and it was -• "itVC.elhing of a feeling of pity that prompted il. But Rose did not love lo hear il; and al¬ wayi*, when speaking of her parent, she would call him her ¦ dear, dear father :' always was she saying some kind word, or performing some kind action,—any thing to make her dear falher happy. And she was his idol; ' Rosy dear,' he always called her, and every one else came to call her, e,\cept when some naughty child at school, who had his falsehood exposed by her undevialing truth, would call her ' Old Zeke's daughter.' But Rose was the name that all loved lo call Iter by. She was the pel of the village; every one was glad when sho came, for she always brought a hap¬ py face and heart along with her: aunt Mary used say she brought a whole showei of hap¬ piness, to sprinkle over every body.
But Rose Melwood had her day of sorrow; and that was when Julia Weston refused to invite her to her birthday party.
This parly had been the grand subject of talk, among all the school girls, during ¦ recess' and ' whispering time,' for half a year. AU expecled lo attend ; all knew whal they would wear: and all hoped mosl earnestly that il would be a pleasant day.
Rose Melwood knew in her little heart whal she iniended to do that day; but she had lold noone, for it would be such a sweet surprise, she thought, to bring a wreath of flowers in April. £ve.-y day, after lhe snow was off the ground, she would look by the brook and in the wood for the first flowers, to see how they came on. She knew j ust where the trailing Arbutus hid itself, and where the first violets would spring up, and she felt quite sure they would be in bloom before Julia's birlh day.
Tlie morning previous to Julia Weston's birth day, I had inviied Rose and two or three of her companions lo walk wilh me; and just as we enlered a path which led ihrough the wood. Rosy darted away, exclaiming, ' I ain going to hide from you now, bul I will be wilh you soon.' My young friends wandered olf, one by one, in search of flowers and winter green, and I had just entered the palh which led lo my loved retreat, when I saw through the trees that it was already tenanted, and on coming nearer, discovered Rose Melwood. She was unconscious ol my approach, and 1 never saw a sweeter subjecl for a painter than she was at that moment. She was sit¬ ting upon the ground with her lap full of flow¬ ers, and J half formed wreath lying beside Her bonnet had fallen back
and thought so much of her party, that" she had began to imagine herself a much more important personage than ahe had done be¬ fore, and lo think that she mus! be somewhat select in her invitations; so after some con¬ sideration, she decided that it would sound very unarislocratio to have it said that old Zeke's daughter was at her parly. Besides, she was a year older than Rose, which very much enhanced her own imporiance she thought; so, wilhout consulting her parenls, she decided that Rose Melwood should not come lo her party.
But Julia little thouglht that by refusing admittance to Rose she was depriving herself and others of all enjoyment. But so it was, for when all were assembled, there seemed some one wanting. No one seemed happy, and each whispered to the other,' I wish Rosy dear was here,' and when Frank Weston and two or three of his schoolfellows came in to sliare the sports, nothing seemed to go right.
'Why, where is Rosy dear'?' exclaimed Frank in surprise, after looking around llie room.
'Julia wouldn't have her here,' exclaimed halfa dozen voices.

shoulders, and her long fair hair was falling
ia rich clusters upon her neck ; Iter small white hands were clasped, and her full blue I eyes were turned lowards heaven, with an I expression of perfect purity, love and holiness. ' 0, Miss Emily !' she exclaimed, as soon as she observed me, 'is not this beautiful? /t seems just heaven lo me.'
'0, Rosy dear! where did you find your flowers?' exclaimed our companions, coming up at this moment;' we have been searching everywhere, and have not found one '
' Oh !  I know their hiding-places,' replied g.   Rose, smiling: 'see here—will not this be beautiful?' she e.xclaimed, holding up a half- woven wreath : ' this is for Julia lo  wear on her birth-day.'
' But you are not going to her party!' ex¬ claimed one.
' Why yes, of coiirse I shall go,' replied Rose, 'I know Julia expects me lo go.'
' But she told me yeslerday she should not invite you.'
I Why not?' inquired Rose, sorrowfully. ' Because,' replied another,  who seemed somewhat vexed that Rose had found so many flowers,' because she says she don't want old Zeke's daughter at her party.' Never shall 1 forget the expression which pas¬ sed over Rose's 'countenance at these words; It was not of anger, but of mingled sorrowand resentment, wltich one expucieuce when they feel that they have been undeservedly slight¬ ed by those they love. She spoke not a word bnt her eyes filled with tears, and after a mo¬ ment's silence, ahe said, ' Well, I will send her the flowers—ahe will like them, I am sure.' The truth was, Julia had heard, and tallied
' 1 should like to know. Miss Julia Weston, why you wouldn't have her here?' inquired Frank with spirit.
' Because I didn't want her here,' replied Julia, a little tartly.
' Because she is old Zeke's daughter,' re¬ plied several voices.
' Well, I wish Julia, you were half as good as old Zeke's daughter,' e.xclaimed Frank. 'I declare, this is outrageous. She shall come, or else I do n'l slay here.'
' Nor I, Nor I,' exclaimed the other embiyo gentlemen.
Al this momenl ]\Irs. Weston entered the room.
' Why, what does this mean?' she exclaim¬ ed. ' 1 came here to see how happy you were, and really there is nol one happy face in the room; what is the mailer ?'
'Rosy dear is nol here,' exclaimed a dozen voices.
' Rosy nol here ? Why what is the reason ?' inquired Mrs. Weston, in surprise.
' Why, Julia has acted like a dunce. She has not invited her,' replied Frank.
' Not invited Rosy ? Why Julia, what does this mean ? 1 surely thought you had invited her.'
Julia had by this time begun to repent se¬ riously of her conduct. The party which she had looked forward to with so much happiness had been, so far, nought but wretchedness, and all in consequence of her foolish pride.— So she acknowledged to her molher the rea¬ son, and expressed her sorrow.
Al this moment a light tap was heard at the door, and a little girl who lived neighbor to Rose, entered with a beautiful wreath in her hand, and presenting it to Julia, said, ' Rosy dear sent it lo you.'
The scent of the flowers filled the room, and all gazed eagerly al such a quaniily of flowers at that season.
'Oh! where did Rosy dear find them? I could not find one,' all exclaimed.
' She alw.iys knew where the first flowers grew,' exclaimed oneof the boys.
' She always knew ten times more than any olher girl abont every thing,' was the ralher ungallant reply of Frank Weslon.
Julia stood holding the wrealli, looking sor¬ rowful and ashamed.
' My dear,' exclaimed Mrs. Weslon, ' you are not worlhy to wear this wreath to-day— the one who deserves it must wear it. Pul on your bonnet and go down lo old Zeke's, and make the best apology you can to Rosy. Beg her pardon, and ask her to come and spend the remainder of the day; for I am quite sure there will be no enjoyment unless she is here; and she is so good a girl that I think ahe will not refuse to come though you have treated her so ill. Frank will entertain your company while you are gone,and I hope you will yel be happy.'
The two girls were soon seen returning, and aa they entered the door, all exclaimed, ' I am so glad you have come. Rosy dear; now we will be happy.'
'But first,' said Mrs. Weslon, ' let us dis¬ pose of this beautiful wreath. It should not lie withering here. Julia, it was senl lo you, but I presume you feel that you do not deserve to wear il, so you may place il upon the head of the one you think most deserving of it.'
Julia look the wreath, and wilh a smile and kiss, placed it upon Rosy's head, amid the shouts of the children.
'Oh, I had much ralher you would wear it, dear Julia,' exclaimed Rose. ¦ I am sure I never intended it for myself.'
' The good we do lo others,' said Mrs. Wes¬ ton, ' oflen returns upon our own heads, and I hope the lesson, Julia, you learn will be of far more value than the wreath.'    ¦*    *    »
Soon after this event old Zeke and Rosy left our village, and went lo live with a rich rela¬ tive at the South, who adopted Rose as hei own daughter.
Vears passed away. Frank Weston, who had established himself in a distant city, wrote for Julia to come and spend the winier with him. She joyfully accepted the invita¬ tion. As soon as she had arrived and had been welcomed by her brolher, he said, 'I have an invitation for you, Julia, to act as bridesmaid thia very evening.'
• Pray, for whom ?' inquired Julia. ' To a certain lady who is to be my wife,' replied Frank, laughing.
'Ah! you rogue ! VVhy did you not lell me of this before?'
' I knew that you liked pleasani surprises.' replied Frank.
' But I connot lell whether it will be a pleas¬ ant one unlil I know who is to be your bride. Come, tell me quick, who is it?'
' No, nol nnlil we are mirried ; so now pre¬ pare yourself and hasle lo the wedding.'
When Frank Weslon led in his bride, Julia ihought she had never seen a creaiure so per¬ feclly lovely. But brides are always beauti¬ ful, and perhaps she was not more so than many oihers; but Julia thought so, and I think Frank thought so too. But it was not her beauiy alone that riveted Julia's gaze ; it was an impression that she had seen that face before, but she could nol tell when nor where. When the ceremony was over, .md Frank presenled Julia to his bride, ' Do tell rae my sister,' exclaimed Julia, ' have we never known each other before ?'
' Dear Julia, have you forgotten ohl Zeke's daughter,' whispered the beautiful bride. I A sudden remembrance, such as, in some hour of your life, reader, has flashed overyoui mind, when you have seen a face or an ob¬ ject that called to recollection bygone days, come over Julia's thoughi. She gazed ear¬ nestly at the fair girl for a minute, then, clasp¬ ing her hand, and turning lo Frank, she ex¬ claimed, joyfully,' Rosy, dear! yes—yes—il 13 indeed her—it is our Rosy dear!'
THE PUBSmXS OP IjTFE.
Whde it may be proper to allow a reason¬ able degree of amusement lo every one, yel it cannot be denied that lhe great secret ol hnman elevation—the main qualification for usefulness and abiding happiness—is the cul¬ tivation of the mind ; storing it wilh intelleo- lual treasures from the fields of science, nat¬ ural and moral. The mind needs employ¬ ment that will develop and strengthen it. If this employment is not furnished, it will seek other and perhaps harmful employment. If not exercised in useful pursuits the opposite will occupy it. Those who have the direc¬ tion of the minds of the young may profitably contemplate this subject. Many of the sour¬ ces of temptation and the springs of vice arise in the idle walks of life—where evil habits gain the mastery and lead to ruin.
The chief end of a liierary course of train¬ ing is a hberal, useful education—lo exercise and fit the mind for the dulies and responsi¬ bilities of life. . To know its powers and to understand the field of ils action. Many of tho failures of raen in the pursuits of life are attributable to a mistaken view of their qual¬ ifications. They enter upon a course for which ihey are unfitted, and attribute their ill suc¬ cess lo bad foriune. Great care should be la¬ ken by parents, guardians and teachers, lo as¬ certain the mental character of the youth un¬ der their care, and to direct thera aright. To encourage them in that course for which they ate best adapted—whether it bc in literature, mechanism or agricullure.
VVhen once engaged in business—when set¬ tled in life—although prosperity may not be rapid and meet the hopes of youth, il is nol wise to lislen to every suggestion lo change. By a due attention lo business—by persever¬ ance—few men will fail of success in almost any business.

Tbe Joy or a Good Consicieucc.
The glory of a good man is the teslimony of a good conscience. Have a good conscience and thou shall ever have joy. A good con- scienne is able lo bear very much, and is very cheerful in'adversilies. An evil conscience is ahvays fearlul and disquieted. Thou shall rest sweetly, if thy heart do not rebuke thee. Do thou never rejoice, bul ^when thou hast done well. Sinners have never Irue mirth, nor feel inward peace, because there is no peace to the wicked, sa'tih the Lord. And il they should say we are in peace, no evil shall befall us and who shall daie~ lo hurt us? Be¬ lieve them nol; for on a sudden lhe wralh of God will rise, and iheir deeds shall be brought to noughl, and iheir thoughts shall perish.
To gloiy in tribulation is no hard thing for him that liveth; for glory is the cross of onr Lord. That glory is short which is given and received fiom men. Sorrow always accom- panielh the glory of the world. The glory of good raen lies in their consciences, and nol lhe longues ol raen. The rejoicing of the up¬ right is of God, and in God ; and their joy is of the Iruth. He Ihat desirelh true and ever¬ iasting glory, careth nol lor temporal; and he that seekelh temporal glory, or dolh not con¬ temn it from his hearl, showelh that he is but lillle in love with that which is celestial. That man enjoyeth gieat tranquility of mind, that careth neither lor praise nor dispraise.
[Thonias a' Kempi.c,
Enemies.—Have yon enemies? Gostraighl on, and mind Ihera nol. If Ihey block up your palh, walk around ihera, regardless of Iheir spile. A man wtio has no enemies is seldom good for anyihing—he is raade of that kind of material which is so easily worked that every one has a hand in it. A .sterlinjj character—one who thinks for himself, and speaks whal he Ihinks, is always suro lo have enemies. They are as necessary lo him as fresh air ! ihey keep him alive and active.— A celebrated character, who was surrounded by enemies, used to remark: "They are sparks which if you do not blow, will go out of ihemselves." Let this be your feeling, while endeavoring to live down the scandal of those who are bitter against you. If you stop to dispute, you do but as they desire, and open the way for more abuse. Let the poor fellows talk—there will be but a reaction, if you per¬ form but your duly, and hundreds who were once alienaled from you, wjll flock to you lo acknowledge ther error.
FORGET YOUR INJURIES.
He is unwise and unhappy, who never for- gela the injuries he raay have received. They come across lhe heart like dark shadows,when lhe aunshine of happiness would bless him, and Ihrow him into a lumult that does nol easily subdue. The demon of hale reigns in his bosom, and makes him of all accounlable crealures, lhe mosl raiseiable.
Have you been injured in purse or charac¬ ter ? Lei the smiling angel of forgiveness find repose in your bosom. Study not how you may revenge but return good for evil. It was the consiani habit of Bishop Boulter to forgive all who injured him, and he always enjoyed peace of mind. After his dealh, the following lines were written by one of his friends. They were not less beautiful than true:
Some write ilieir wrongs in marble—he more juat
Slooped iIowii serene, mid wrote tliem iu llie Unst;
Trod muler foul, llie .^porl nf every wiml.
Swept from the ennli, and blolled from his mind—
There buried in tjie dust he biide them lie,
And grieved liicy could nol '.scape the Almighty's ej e.
MARRiAGE.—VVherever woman plights hei irolh, under tha sky of heaven, at the domes¬ tic health, nr in consecrated aisles, the ground
^K^^.'-^'iVP";','''' "'^ '^o"'' " sacratienlal. That itis^hua felt, even by the moal trivial may be observed at every wedding ceremony! Though the mirth may be fast and furious be¬ fore and after the irrevocable formula is spo¬ ken, yet at that poinl of Ume, there is a shad¬ ow on the most laughing lip—a moislure on the fiiraest eye.   'VVedlock indissoluble ex- cept by the act of God—a sacrament  whose solemnity reaches to eternity—wil! always hohl ita ranks, in life as well as in literature, aathe most impressive fact of human experi¬ ence.   He is a slight observer who sneers ai ils prominence in dramatic writing, whether t>f the stage or the closet, the play or the no¬ vel.   It must always be so.   If government with all its usurpations and aggressions, has appropriated history, let the less ambitions portions of our literature be sacred lo the af¬ fection — lo the Family, based on conjugal and parental love as that institution is, and less the State which hitherto in the world's an¬ nals has been little less than the sad exponent of humaa ambition.
Moral Character.—There is nothing which adds so much to the beauiy and power of man, as a good moral characler. It is his wealth—his infiuence—his life. It dignifies him in every station—exalts him in every con dilion, and glorifies him at every period of life. Such a character is more lo be desired than everything else on earlh. It makes man free and independent. No servile too! —no crouching sycopliant—no treacherous honor-seeker ever bore such a character. The pure joys of truth and righteousness never spring in such a person. If young men but knew how mueh a good character would dignify and exalt Ihem—how glorious it would make their prospects, even in Ihis life : never shouid we find Ihem yielding lo tlie groveling and base born passions of homan nature.
The True Life.—The mere lapse of years is not life. To eat, to drink, and sleep; to be exposed to darkness and to light; lo pace around the mill of habit, and lurn the whee! of wealth ; to make reason our book-keeper, aud turn thought into implements of irade— this is not life. In all this but a poor fraction of the consciousness of humanity is awaken¬ ed, and the sanctities still slumber Uiat make il worth while to be. Knowledge, Iruth, love, beauty, goodness, failh, alone can give vitali¬ ty to the mechanism of e.vislence. The laugli of mirth which vibrates through the heart; the tears wliich freshen lhe dry wasles wiihin; the music that brings childhood back; lhe prayer that calls us near; the doubl which makes us medilale; lhe dealh, which startles us with mystery; the hardship, that forces us to struggle ; the anxiety, that ends in trust— these are the true nourishments of our natu¬ ral heing.

B^ A handsome Yankee pedlar made love to a buxom widow in Pennsylvania. He ac¬ companied his declaration with an allusion to two impediments to the union. ' Name them' said the widow. ' The wanl of means to set up a reiail store.' They parted, and the wid¬ ow sent the pedlar a cheque for Ihe ample means. When they met again, the pedlar had hited and stocked his store, and Ihe srail. ing (air one begged to know the olher imped¬ iment. ' I have another wife,' cried the no- lion dealer.

The wide spread fame of these splendid Periodi¬ cals renders il needless to say much in their praise. As liierary organs, they stand far in advance of any works of a similar stamp now published, while lhe political comple.x.ion of each is marked bya dignity, candor, and forbeaiance, not ofien found in works of a parly characler.
They embrace the views of the three great par¬ lies in England—Tory, Whig and Rudical-**Black- wood" and the "London Quarterly" are Tory; the *'Kdinburgli Review" Whig; andthe "West¬ minsler Review" Radical. The *'Norlh British Review'' is more of a religious character, having beeu originally ediied hy Dr. Chalmers, and now, .since his deatli, being conducied by hisson-in-law, Dr. Ilanna, associated wiih Sir David Brewster. Ils literary characler is of lhe very highest order. The "Westminster," though reprinted under thai title nnly, is liuhlished in Kngland under lhe title of iho "Foreign Quarterly and Westminster,'' il being in fact a union of the two Reviews formerly published reprinied under separate titles. It bas, iherefore, the advantage by this combination of u- niiinginonework ihe best features of both as here¬ tofore issued.
The above Periodicals are reprinted in N. York, immediaiely on tiieir arrival by the British steam¬ ers, in a beautiful clear lype, on fine white paper, and are faithful copies of the originals, Blackwood's Magazine being an exact fnc-simile of tho Edin¬ burgh edition.
