MORAL READINGS Ilosiises ©f the Bead. "Lay the turf lightly.o'er her breast And leave her to a"quiet rest!" There is no place so ^suitable for deep and seri- ous reflection , as some littl e spot of earth , where the green mounds and niarble ^ colutun s rise, to tell man 'hat he must (lie. If the feverish flush of iimbilion is burning upon llie brow—if tliere are any of the darker passions rankling in the heart , "If earthl y joys have wakened smiles Or earthl y sorrows fears ," it is well to wander . out , and by the graves of the departed , read a lesson of the frailty of life, and the evaneseent nature of earthl y pleasure. Beside the "homes of the dead ," the voices of Avarice and worldl y Ambition cease to delude us with their sy- ren spells—Hope and Faith , twin-sisters in this weary world , whisper to us there , of life and immor- tality. There is a beautiful custom in some parts of our country, of decking the homes of the dead , with f lowers. Their fading and decay in autumn is an apt emblem of our frailty and death—their reno- vation in spring is a type of resurrection. -When I am laid in my lowl y resting place, plant flowers upon my grave. Jfrtfrnqt want the snowy marble to press the soil riSove my pulseless breast. True affection will need n% guide to my couch, and the busy and curious can find mausoleums enoug h, by which , "to gaze and wonder." Let Mother Na- ture weep dew drops above iryv grave,ancl bring an- nuall y fresh wreaths , wj th ^ wji" h to deck my sepul- chre.—[Madison famil y Visitor. . Today is the Sabbath , over blessed and beautiful. Welcome to its hol y and hallowin g influences , after the wearying six days devoted to the selfish cares .and business of temporal life. Welcome .thriee wel- come to the Sabbath—day of rest—day of sweet ri< - pose.nnd sweeter meditation. Assayer of the world's thoughts , chaslener of the world's desires, exalter of the world's reflections , be it thine , O divinel y ap- pointed day, to create , awaken , or renew in us that deeper and purer life, in which the soul now folds its wings, which , hereafter ,shall expand in realms of infinite light , and knowled ge, and jov . The Sabbath. ^ 1lie love that survive s the tomb , says Irving, is the noblest attribute of the soul. ]f it lias woes, it has likewise its deli ghts ; and when the overwhelm- ing bu rst of grief is lulled into the gentle tear ol recollection , the n the sudden anguish and con- vulsive agony over the present ruins of alt we most loved , are softened away into pensive meditations of itU lhat it was in the days of its loveliness. Who would root such a sorrow from (lie heart ; thoug h it may sometimes throw a passing cloud over the bright hour of giiyety, or spread a deeper sadness over the hours of gloom , yet who would exchange it for the »ong of pleasure or thiTSurtt' of .revelry ? No! There is a voice from*the tomb, sweeter than song; there is a remembrance * ©!' the dead to which we can turn even from thecliarnv>of the living. liOvc for the Bead. h or myself,^J j un surg/hiit a different mother ¦wmrld have made me a differ ent man. When a boy, I'Was too much like the self-willed , excitable Cla- rence ; but the tenderness with which my mother always treated me, and the unimpnssioned but earnest manner in which she reproved and correct- ed, my fault s, subdued my unrul y temper. When I became restless or impatient , she always had a book to read to me, or a story to tell , or had some device to save me from myself. My father was neither harsh nor indul gent towards me ; I cherish his mem- ory with respect and love. But I have different feelings when I think of my mother. 1 often feel , even now, as if she were near mo—as if her cheek were laid to mine. My father would placejiis hand upon my head , caressing ly, but my mother would iny lier cheek against mine. I did not exppct my father to do more—I do not, know that I would have soved him better had he done more ; for him it was * natural expression of affection. But no act is too tender for a mother. Her kiss upon my cheek , her warm embrace , are all felt now , and the older I r^row, the more holy seem the influences that sur- rounded me in childhood.—[" The Mother ," by T. S. Arthur. -" - ¦ ¦ A. mother's Influence. Come, my littl e boy, and you , my li ttle girl ,what answer can you give to this question ? Who was it that watched over you when you were a hel pless babe ?

And it happens unfortu- natel y, that these irregularities of the temper are mqjrt apt to disp lay themselves at our firesides ,where everything oug ht to be tran quil and serene. But th« truth is, wa are. awed by the presvnee of stran- gers, and are afraid of appearing weak or illnntured when we get out into the world , and ™ very heroi- cally reserve all our ill-humour, for our wives, chil- dren and servants , We »are meek where we ini«ht meet with opposition , butYcef ourselves undaunted- ly bold where we are sure of,no effectual resistance.

Although new in this market , they,have been in ac- tive use m all the Eng lish Shi p Yards and Docks for a long period of time. The manufacturers, whose agents we arc, were in- duced to make a small quantity last Spring, by the de- sire of several shipbuilders here to obtain a sample oi them for their own use. The builders who have tried th em , are so entirel y satisfied with their character and worth , that the manufacturers have resolved upon mak- ing them in large quantities and offering them for sale Being firmer than the Copper Bolts , th ey bear much harder driving; and their composition prevents the formation of the verdi gris so much comp lained of as natura l to Copper. Their resistance to corrosion caus- es them to wear more uniforml y and longer than Cop- per Bolts, and they must have the preference over them. Their present pijice is about twen ty per cent, less than Copper. \ I We are now prepared to roeeivefcrders for all sizes and kinds used in shi'p building, aocl can furnish an ar- ticle as perfect as can\bc made.
