I •• Christopher North" (Wilson) has appear-t-
il njjaia in lllarkwood's Kditihurgh Magazine
in a striking attitude. Al the foot of rough Crua-chan,
on the banks of I,oeh Awe, "North" indul-ges
in free eonvcrsalinn with his ehosen friends ;
developing in fine criticisms the beauties of the
classic poets, and pouring forth his soul on the
subjects of Nature, Poetry, Religion.
That is a burning passage in the first No.
of his " Dies lloreales," on ihe subject of the
rituals of the Kirk and of the Establishment,
where North says that "intervening saints, ima-ges,
and .leborale rituals—the contrivance of hu-man
wit—all these the lire of the Spirit has con-sumed,
and consumes." " He that worships

Xow we look upon Planets and SUM and sec
Intelligence ruling them—on Seasons that suc-ceed
each other, and we apprehend Design—on
plant and animal fitted to its place in the world,
and furnished with its due means of existence,
and repeated for ever in its kind—and we admire

to l:s if the marvellous Laws are here
without a Lawgiver—If Design be here without
a Designer—all the Order that wisdom could

We are made better, nobler, sir, by the soeiety
of the good anil the noble. Perhaps of ourselves
unable to think high thoughts, and without the
bold warmth that dares generously, we catch by
degrees something of the mounting spirit, and of
ihr ardour proper lo the stronger souls with whom
we live familiarly, and become sharers and imi-tators
of virtues to which we could not have giv

TO ANNIE.
1 do not wish thee here, Annie,
Yet sometimes when I see
A group of lovely children, Annie,
I can but think of thee.
A year has passed away, Annie,
Since I kissed thy pale, cold face,
And they laid the in the grave, dear,
Thy last sad sleeping place.
I'm standing in the door, Annie,
And die scene is green and fair.
But the dearest feature ill it
U the green hill where you are.
Why think I of your body, dear,
Fast passing into clay.
When I know your angel spirit
Is bright iu heaven's array J
I'm ofien now quite sick, Annie;
Perhaps it may n't be long
Before I too, my daughier,
Shall join your blessed throng.
And if 1 knew 'twere right, Annie,
I'd ask thee, breathe a prayer
To thy King and Lord and Savior,
To let me enler there :
To give to me his Spirii, Annie,
Ol constant, ferveut prayer.
To seek that kingdom daily, Annie,
Where I feel my treasures are.
Now mv heart is something lighter
Since'my thoughts I've tried to tell;
I go to earth's sli-rn duties—
My angel child, farewell! E. \. u

LITTLE CHILDRIN.—U is a very eru 1 thing
to accuse an infant of " temper," and by harsh
sounds and cross looks commence ihe terrible
discipline of Fear. True, iu that lilde frame
and dormant mind there may rest the seeds of
■lormy passions and a disposition difficult »
rule : but in ihe first months of life, depend upon
it, physical suffering is the only eauae of fretful-ness.
It is by this demonstration alone that a
babe can express fatigue, illness or discomfort.
Ucmcmbcr how a string loo tight, over much
clothing, or loo little, may distress its fragile

oaioas or peppermint, or any noxious food, will
