CHILDHOOD.
BY DAVID BATES.
Childhood, sweet and uln{’:.hudboul.
With its careless, thoughtless air,
Like the verdant, tuglod wildwood,
Waants the training hand of care.
For it springeth all around us—
Giad 1w know and guick to learn ;
Asking questions that confound us;
Tenching less ns in its turn,
Who loves not its joyous revel,
Leaping lightly on the lawn,
Up the knoll, along the level,
Free and graceful as a fawn.
Let it revel : 1t is nature,
Giving to the hittle dears
Strength of limb and healthful features,
For the twil of coming years.
He who checks a child with terror,
Stops its play, and stills its song,
Not alone commits an error,
But a great and moral wrong.
Give it play, and never fear it—
Active life is no defect ;
Never, never break its spirit—
Curb it ouly to direct,
Would you dam the flowing river,
Thinking it would cease to tflow !
Onward it must go forever,—
Better teach it where to go.
Childhood is a fountain welling,
Trace its channel in the sand,
And its eurrents spreading, sweolling,
Will revive the withered land,
Childhood is the vernal season ;
Trim and train the verdant shoot ;
Love is to the coming reason,
As the bl ssom to the fruit.
Tender twigs are bent and folded ;
Art to nature beauty lends
Childhood sasily is moulded ;
sanhood breaks but se dem bends,
THE SKATER'S SONG.
Away ! away !=for the rosy light,
Gleams bright o'er ttie estern hill ;
The Frost-King came in glee last night,
And bade the streams lie still,
Horrah ! burrah ! for the ice-bound lake,
No speed lev our fleet limbs lack ;
And tne slumbering echoes shall startled awake,
As we dash o’er our slippery track !
Away ! away ! ’tis a glorious morn,
And my heart leaps up to go;
The trusty skate shall bear us on,
O’er the sleeping wave below,
The golden beams which the day-god sends,
The distant hill tops lave,
Aud the brl?ule-( smile which his godship lends
Is the Hashion the frozen wave.
Away ! awayv ! —for the skater’s shout,
Is linfl’lf along the air,
The gathering bands are hastening out,
In the ¢'adsome sport to share ;
Oh, there’s never a tone of music’s own,
That the bounding soul can feel,
Like the merry sound f the crackling ice,
And the ring of the skater’s heel!
Then up, and away—for the moments fly !
Let’s hie o'er the snow-clad plain ;
For the joyous streams all captive lie
In the frolicsome Frost-King’s chain !
Hurrab ! hureah ! for the ice-bound lake ;
No speed let our fleet limbs lack ;
And the slumbering echoes shall shouting wake,
As we dash o'er our slippery track !
Mliscellancous.
A Somnambulist Murderer.
*Somnambulists are sometimes subject to
strange hallucinations.” he replied; ‘their
dream is 10 them as real as our actual daily
life is to us, and they not unfrequently act on
the sceues of the drama with a terrible deter
mination. I will just give you one instance
of the danger that may accrue from a delusion
of (his nature. At the last monastery | in
babited, before I became Prior of Pierre Cha
tel, we had a monk who was known to be a
somnambulist. He was a man of sombre
character and gloomy temperament; but it
was rather supposed that his melancholy pro
ceeded from physical causes than from any
particular source of mental uneasiness. His
pightly wanderings were very irregular; some
times there were long iotermissions. Occa
sionally he would leave his cell, and after
being abseut from it several hours would re
turn of his own accord,still fast asleep, and lay
himself in his bed; at other times he would
wander so fur away that we had to send in
search of him; and sometimes he would be
wecl Dy e messouger on his way back, either
swake or asleep as it might happen.
*Thus sirange malady had caused us some
anxiety, and we had oot neglecied 10 seck
the best advice we could obtain with respect
to its treatment; aod at length the remedies
applied secn.ed to have taken effect ; the par
oxysms become more rare, aud the disease so
far subsided that it ceased to be a svbject of
observation amongst us. Several months had
elapsed since I had hieard anything of the noc
turoal excursions ol brother Dominique, when
ouve night that | had some business of impor
ance io hand, wstead of going to bed when
the rest of the brotherhood retired to their
cells, | seated mysell at my desk for the pur
pose of veading end ausweriog certain letters
coocerning the affuir in question. I had been
sometime thus occupicd, and had just fiaish
ed my work, and had already locked my desk
preparatory to going to bed, when 1 heard
the closing of a distant door, and immediate
ly afterwards a foot in the long gallery that
seperated my room from the cells of the bro
therhood. What could be the matter? Some
body was ill, and was coming to seek assis
tance; and I was confirmed in this persuasion
wheo | perceived that the foot was approach
ing the door, the key of which I had not turn
ed. lo a moment more it opened, and Fra
Dominique eutered, asleep. His eyes were
wide open, but there was evidently no specu
lation 10 them; they were fixed and glassy
like the eyes of a corpse. [le had nothing on
but the tunic which he was in the habit of
wearing at night, and in his hand he held a
large koife. At this strange apparition |
stood transfixed. From the cautious man
ner in which he had opened the door, and the
stealthy pace with which he advanced into the
room, I could not doubt that he was bent up
on mischiel; but aware of the dangerous ef
fects that frequently result from the 100 sud
den awakening of a sleep walker, | thought it
better to watch in silence the acting out of
the fearful 2rama, than venture to disturb him.
With all the precautions he would have used
pot to arouse me had he been awake, he mov
ed towards the bed, and in 80 doing he had
oceasion to pass quite close to where | stood,
and as the light of the lamps fell upon his
fare | gaw that his brows were knit, and his
features contracted into an expression of res
olute maliguity. When he reached the bed
he bent over it, felt with his hand in the place
where 1| should have been, and then appa
rently satisfied, he lifted up his arm, and
stiuck successively three heavy blowg—so
beavy that, having pierced the bed clothes,
the blade of the knife entered far into the mat
tress, or rather into the mat that served
me for one. Suddenly, however, whilst his
arm was raised (or another blow, he started,
ond turning roond, hastened towards the win
dow, which he had opened,and had it been large
enough 1 thiok he would have thrown him
eell out. But finding the apeture 100 small,
be changed his direction. Again he passed
elose to me, and I felt mysell shrink back a 8
he almost touched me with his tunie. Thetwo
lamps that stood on my table made no impres
sion on his eyes; he opened and closed the
door as belore: and | heard him proceed rap
i)y sloog the gallery and retire 1o his own
“d. It would be in vain to attempt to de
scribe the amazemeot with which | had wit
pessed this terrible scene. 1 had been, as it
Smere, the spectator of my own murder, and |
Cas overcome by the horrors of the visionary
the j sasination. Grateful to Providence for the
'h"uuu I had cecaped, | yet could not brace
Joy nerves to look at it with calmoess, and |
passed the remainder of the night in a state of
painful agitation.
‘Oo the following moroing, as soon as
breaklust was over, | summoned Fra Domi.
pique to my room. As he entered | saw his
eye glance st the bed, which was now, how
ever, covered by other linen, so that there
were 0o traces visible of his nocturnal visit.
His countenance was sad, but expressed no
eonfusion, 11l I inquired what had been the
'subject of his dreams the preceding night.
Then he started and changed color.
‘Reverend father ' said he, *‘why do you
ask me this !’
‘Never mind,’ said I, 1 have my reasons.’
*I do not like to repeat my dream,’ return
ed he; ‘it was too frightful; and I fear that it
must huve been Satan bimself that inspired it.’
[We pass over some pages, and alight up
on the monk's explanation of his tendency to
wander thus murderously at night. He tells
the Prior the story of his hife—how his sister
married a dissolute Lralian, named Ripa, who,
atier squandering their money quitted them
for some months. One night he—then a
childe=slept with his mother.]
I suppose I fell asleep dircetly, for 1 have
no recollection of my mother's coming to bed,
nor of anytinog else, till [ was awakened by
the pressuie of a heavy hand upon my breast,
and by the faint hght of a lantern which stood
on a table | discovered my brother in law, Ri
pa, the Tralian, hanging over me. But it was
cot at me he was looking, but at my mother,
who fast asleep, was lying on the other side
of the bed. An instinetive terror kept me si
lent and motionless ; and presently, having
ascertained the position in which his victim
was lying, he raised a large koife he held in
his band, and struck it xepeatedly into her
breast. At the third blow my horror and an
guish overcwme my fears, and | attered a cry,
which seemed first to have revealed to him
my presence; or perhaps, he did not know it
was me, but was only startled by the sudden
noise, for, as his purpose was nndouhiedly
robbery, I do not see why he should not have
despatehed so insignificant an obstacle, and
fulfitied his intentions. However this may
be, he ook fmightand fled, first to the window,
—ftor e seemed to have lost all presence of
mind,—but, finding vo egress there, he re
treated by the door.
‘I was afraid he would return, and almost
dead with tervor and grief, 1 lay suill the rest
of the onight, without courage to rise or eall
the servant who slept in the kitchen. When
she eniered the room in the morning, she
found my mother dead, and myself bathed in
blood. Ripa was pursued and aken, iy tes
timony was futal to him, and my poor sister
died of a broken heart a few months afier he
had expiated his crime on the scafiold.
‘A loog and learful malady was the conse
quence to me of this dreadful event, and | have
ever since been subject to these dreams.’
*What dreams?’
*Such as 1 had last night,' he answered ;
*wherein | feel mysell constrained to act over
again the fnghtful seens 1 witnessed.’
*And pray,' 1 inquired, *do you select any
particular person as your victim in those
dreams !
‘Always.'
‘And what does your selection depend up
on'—lsit enmity 7’
*No, returned Dominique; it is a peeuliar
influence that I cannot explain. Perhaps,’
added he, alter some hesitation, *yon may
have observed my eyes frequendy fixed upon
you of late?
‘I remembered that | Liad observed this;
and he then told me that whoever he looked
at in that manner was the person he dreamed
of.' == Mrs. Crowe's new worlk.
MUSIC IN FAMILIES.
The old notion, that music could be learned
only by those who had a peculiar gift, or ear
for it, seems to be pretty nearly exploded.
[t seems to be everywhere conceded, by those
who have paid much attention to the subject,
that mnusic may be as generally and as sue
cessfully taught to young persons, as other
braovches of knowledge. There will, of course,
he different degrees of talent and aptuess to
learn manifested 1o this as in everything else,
and the amount of attainment will vary corres
pondingly. Buat does it follow that an ant
should not be taught at all, beeause the high
est excellence cannot be attained in it? Not
oune childin a thousand ean excel in penman
ship,indrawing o 1 in mathematics. But who
would consider that, a sufficient reason (or
notattempting instructions in those branches?
Nince the introduction of music iuto common
schiools in this country, and in Germany and
Prussia, it has been sufficieatly demoustrated
thatit may be tuught with as much success as
rcading and writing.
Aside from its importance as a part of pub
lic worship, and asa personal accomphshment,
it exerts a marked and very beneficial iuflu
ence in promoting sociil enjoyment and kiod
feeling in the family. In this view it presents
itself to parents in a very attractive light.
Music serves to make a home pleasant, by
engaging many of its iomates in a delightful
recreation, and thus dispelling the sourness
and gloom which frequently avise from petty
disputes, from mortified vanity, from discon
tent and envy. It prevents, for the time, at
least, evil thouglis and evil speaking, aud
tends to relieve the winds of both performers
and hearers from the depressing effects of
care and melancholy. Youang persons need,
and will have amusements. If an inoocent
and improviog Kind be not provided at home,
they will seek for some kind elsewhere. If
they find places more agreeable to them than
their homes, those homes will be deserted,
and thus the holy and geutle influences which
ought to encircle the family fire side, will be
in a great measure lost.
The discipline of the heart, afforded by mu
sic is not unimportant. [tis a language—an
expression of sublime thoughts and pure uf
fectiovs. It is a heavenly employment—the
delight of angels in another and a better world.
It begets and perpetuates love; and love is
from God. Everything which promotes af
fectionate intercourse between parents and
children, and brothers and sisters, is of great
value in giving purity and strength to home
influences. Io these latter days, when im
proper places of public amusement are so nu
merous and cheap; when vice isarrayed in all
the ciarms of painting and sculpture, of poet
ry, eloguence and music, concerted and vig
orous efforts should be made 10 preserve the
young trom their pernicious influence. o
do this, they must be kept at home; and to
keep them at home, they must be made to
love their homes. 'T'o secure that love, home
mnst be made agreeable; and, for this, music
is unquestionably one of the cheapest and
most efficient means.
No families are so pleasant as those where
the voices of parents and children mingle in
sweet, solemn, and exhilarating sounds. No
scenes present themselves 1o the memory, in
after life, with more delightful associations
thao those in which favarite tunes and fiag
ments of well remembered verse are connect
ed with the fumiliar fuce and fond endearments
of the domestic hearth.
Again, music is not without use as an in
tellectual und also as a physical exercise.
The study of it as a science is, perhaps, as
good discipliue as the study of other sciences,
for it exercises the same faculties of the mind;
while the practise of 1t as an art gives flexi
bility, clearness, and strength to the voice,
develops the chest, and invigorates the whole
frame.
A srong prejudice against music has arisen
in the minds of many persons, (rom the ercess
to which it is sometimes earried. If children
are taught to sing, itis alleged, they will be so
fond of it as to cause it 1o interfere with more
serious and weighty matters. Insome instan.
ces it may be so. But it should he remem.
bered that the objection implies the abuse of
a thing good in itself, and applies with equal
foree to social visiting, to reading, and every
kiod of recreation. Fruit is good; but 1o be
indulged in with impunity it must be eaten in
moderate quantities and at proper tines,
So with musie, if practiced to such an ex.
tent as to cause a waste of time needed for
other purposes, or in such a manner as to be
a panderto vice, it becomes a souree of cor.
ruption. But under the control of an enlight.
ened understanding sud conscicnce, it iy the
handmaid of virtue. Like woman, another of
Heaven's kind gifts 1o man, it *doubles our
Joys and divides our sorrows;’ and, like her,
too, it finds its most appropriate place, and its
sweetest influences, in the bosom of the fami-
Iy Monthly Family Cirele.
How A Max veers witn mis Heap orr,
Some of the most eminent physiologists of
the present day have lately been argumenting
the very curious guesiion as to whether a
man feels after his head is off. And this in
quiry is considered by s conductors to be
of more than physiologieal interest, because
it involves refined principles of humanity with
’n-gaml to the punishinent of death by the
\guulluliuc.
it is considered on all sides that the body
does not feel one instant after decapitation ;
for the brain being the seat of sensation for
the whole frame, through the medium of the
spinal marrow, every part of the body beneath
the joint at which the latter may be divided,
must be deprived of feeling. But it by no
means follows that the head is deprived of
sensation immediatley after decapitation, nor
that it may retain ita consciousness, and like
the head of the hish Koght who was killed |
by Salladin in the Holy Wi, get up and de- |
clare that it was never cut off by so sweet a
scimitar before—=nor like that of the assassin |
Liegare, swear roundly at 11 @ execationer for
not keeping a keener axe : Lat iCls quite pos |
sihle that it may be troubled with very serious |
reflections upon the irvevoe hiliy ol s fate, |
and the awlulness of its deprivation, In sup. '
port of this unpleasant theory, many tacts are |
adduced with grave vouchers for thewr authen- |
ticity, Awmong others, is the unfortunate
Queen of Scots, whose lips continued to move
in praver for at least a quaiter of an hour af- |
ter the executioner had performed his duties, |
Windt states that having put his mouth 1o
the ear of a decapitated criminals head aud |
¢'lled him by name, the eyes turned to the |
side from whence the voice came; and this |
fact ig attested by Fontenello. Mogore, Guil- |
lotine,Nauche.and Aldini. Onthe word mur- |
der being called, in the case of @ criminal ex=
ecuted for that erime at Coblentz, the half
closed eyes opescd wide with an expression
of reproach on those who stood around. f
This is recorded in the medical Gazette for
April last; but whethor it be believed or not,
we see nothing in theory or recorded fact, to
lessen the physiological possibility of con
science afier decapitation. In diseases and
distocations of the spinal marrow, the mind re
mains in full possession of its faculties, al
though all the lower limbs are utierly de
void ot feeling 3 and at what puint of separa
tion are we justified in sayidg that the mind
must lose its rational powers ! If the brain
retain the images of vision, and the forms of
touch long afier the object which created
them are withdrawan, why may we not suppose
that it retaing them afier a sudden operation
of the axe or guillotine? Like the thigh of
an amputated leg which feels its toes (or days,
and even weeks after the operation, it may re
main in imaginary possession of its corporeal
members, until the curtains of oblivion are
gathered around its fading vision and sinks to
repose in the chamber of death,
Suorrineg.—We always feel tempted 1o
parchaseof areally amiable, obliging ehopman,
even it we think we could do betrer elsewhere,
and determine generally to go back, it we can,
and patronize his politeness; for we must say
that many of the sterner sex are very much
wantiog in that pleasant commodity, as waell
as manv of our own—=and that is no slander,
Some clerks begio 8o soon o mauke wiry
faces il they have to pull down a few extra
bundles, hinting, at least somewhat unzentle
manly, that periiaps you have not brought
sufficient money or else insisting that you
must take the article, loading the counter with
goods, then to cap the climax, sayiag, that
had they known you was determined not to
buy, they would not have troubled themselves,
They surely are paul for waiting on custom
ers; they cannot expect to merely lounge be
hind the counter, smile and chat with che la
dies, and pass ofl their goods as they do their
compliments.
There 18 no manner of doubt but that a
great many ladies give unneceessary trouble
to salesmen. We have often heard them
make the remark, *let us go inand look at Li's
goodsy we need not buy them, you know:'
and then, without the least intention of pur
chasing, they cause the clerks to needlessly
disarrar®e their well assorvted articles, and
leave them at Jast with one twenty fourth of a
yard in their possession, which they have
begged for the purpose of trying whether it
would hear sttong soap suds and never fade.
This is really wrong and trying to the pa
tience. It causes the shopman to look some
what suspiciously upon every stranger, and
act, perhaps too wmuch, upon his guard with
those who may be willing to bay largely.
Wenever knew areally obliging, polite shop
keeper yet, but what, if he kept a good assaort
ment, was always weli sapplied with costom

it goes against the heart to chaffer long (0

A~xecoote or Ricnarp [ll.—=ln the town
of Leicester, the house is still shown where
Richard TII passed the might before the bat
tle of Bosworth: and there is a story of him
still preservedin the corporation records,which
illustrate the caution and darkness of that
Prince’s eharacter. 1t was his customn to car
ry, among the baggage of his eamp, a eum
bersome wooden bed, which he pretended
was the only bed he conld sleep in. Here he
contrived a recepacle for his treasure, which
lay concealed under a weight of timber. Af
ter the fatal day in which Richard fell, the
Earl of Richmond entered Leicester with his
victorious troops : thefriends of Richard veve
pillaged, but the bed was neglected by every
plunderer as useless lumber. The owner of
the house afterwards discovering the hoard,
beeame suddenly rich, without any visihle
cause. He bought lands, and at length ar
rivedat thedignity of bewng mayor of Lieicester.
Many years afterwards, his widow, who had
been left in great affluence, was murdered for
her wealth by her servant maid, who lad
been privy to the affair; and at the trial of
this woman and her accomplices, the whole
transaction came to light.
