LESSON X.

The Stream of Time.

Through sunny plains and valleys green,
Yon silvery streamlet winds its way;
While on its banks fresh flowers are seen,
That smiling seem to woo its stay.

It must not stay-the current's force
Forbids it here to find repose;
But onward still it takes its course,
And sadly murmurs as it

goes.

And now upon its breast no more

Sweet flowers their breathing odors shed;
Its path is by the rocky shore,

Its final rest in Ocean's bed.

Thus down the Stream of Time we glide,
From youth and joy to age and pain :
We cannot check the ceaseless tide
That bears us swiftly to the main.

Yet, let us calmly meet our doom,
And think, if life and joy must sever;
There is a land beyond the gloom
Where they shall be entwin'd forever.

LESSON XI.

Earthquake at Aleppo in Syria.-WORCESTER.

On the 18th of August, 1822, Aleppo was visited by a most tremendous earthquake, by which two thirds of the city were destroyed, and 20,000 inhabitants buried in the ruins. Various other towns in Syria suffered greatly by this earthquake; and other shocks continued to be felt for several weeks after the principal one. It is impossible to convey, says the British consul at Aleppo, an adequate idea of the scenes of horror, that were simultaneously passing in the dreadful night of the 13th

of August. Here, hundreds of decrepit parents, half buried in the ruins, were imploring assistance from their sons, who were not always willing to risk their own lives by giving their aid. There, distracted mothers were frantically lifting heavy stones from heaps, which covered the lifeless bodies of their infants. The awful darkness of the night, the continuance of the most violent shocks, at short intervals, the crash of falling walls, the shrieks, the agony and despair of that long night, cannot be described.

When at length, the morning dawned, and the return of light permitted the people to quit the spot on which they had been providentially saved, a most affecting scene ensued. You might have seen many, unaccustomed to pray, prostrate in silent worship, or on their knees adoring their Preserver. Friends were running into each other's arms in transports of joy. Enmities were forgotten; an air of cheerfulness and brotherly love animated every countenance.

LESSON XII.

Various Species of Lying.—AMELIA Opie.

What constitutes lying? I answer, the intention to deceive. If this be a correct definition, there must be passive as well as active lying; and those who withhold the truth, or do not tell the whole truth, with an intention to deceive, are guilty of lying, as well as those who tell a direct or positive falsehood.

Lies are many, and various in their nature and tendency, and may be arranged under their different

names.

Lies of vanity. Lies of vanity are undoubtedly the most common lies, because vanity is one of the most powerful springs of human action, and is usually the besetting sin of every one. If I assert, that my motive for a particular action was virtuous, when I know, that it was worldly and selfish, I am guilty of an active or direct lie. But I am equally guilty of falsehood, if, while I hear my actions or forbearances praised, and imputed
