If lie to whom this toast wo drink,
Has brought the needy to li ia door
Or raised the wretch from ruin's brink,
From the tibHttdnnco of his store ;
If he has soothed the mourner's woe,
Or helped jonnj merit into fume,
This n'glit our cups shall overflow
Ia honor of his name.
Ifho be poor, and yet has striven
To ease the load of human care ;
If to the furnished ho has piven
One loaf that it is hard to share ;
If, in his poverty erect,
He never did a deed of shame,
Fill high I we'll drain in deep respect,
A bumper to his name.
But rich or poor, if still his plan
- Has been to piny on honest part;
Ifho ne'er failed his word to man,
Or broki) u trusting woman's heart ,
If emulation tire his soul
To snatch the meed of virtuous f.inia ;
Fill high 1 we'll drain a flowing bowl
In honor of his nume.

""Well," said M.iior Henry, an offluent citi
zen of Auburn, to his amiable lady, one
morniiip after his faultless enp of cotiie and
his usnnl plunee at tuo morning news, "Mary,
wo wiit for tlio present trado with youpf:
niMwini i'o., on wuinut. 1 icaso Bona

What ! leave Simpson & Co., where vro
htwo traded so long to our eutire satisfaction?

Nothing mv dear ; they arc truly honora

And so rctnectalle. Maior, such nn old.

"There is no reason in the wond. J
l htm.
Marv,
why wo should lea vu 'them, but I have an
object in bestowing our patronage else
where." 'Please explain yourself," said she, ''for
you are perfectly inexplicable at present."
'Well, my dear, Williams Co. are wor
thy young men just established in business,
and I suspect tho sweet breezes of popular
tver t!o not blow that way any too strongly.
Perhaps wo can aid in giving proper direc-
rection to tho current.
'Nonsenso !" exclaimed Mrs. II., with
slight petulance ; they can take care of them-
selves as other linns uo. surely, we are un

Wo ore not obligated in the sense yon use
the term." said he. "Heavtn is under no ob
ligations to earth that call for the bestowal
of tho daily nnd unceasing blessings ever
vouchsafed. Hut, Mary, listen to a chapter
in my early history that will illustrate the
ques'tion :
"My parents, you knew, were in limited
oircumstauces, and I commenced life depen
dint upon my own exertions. I accepted a
clerkship ut first, with a small salary. Iy
conscientious devotion to business, this was
gradually increased, until, with frugality, I
was- enabled to accumulate a sum that I
thought would warrant commencing for my
self. I opened a store in Pearl street, with
a limited stock in trade, but with large hopes
for the future. Put customers did not throng
my counters. Pay after day I spent wistful
ly looking at the crowds that hurried by, yet
scarcely deigning a passing curious look with
in. It was a nme arrangement, and few eared
to patronise the novelty. All had other pla
ces of trade. Thii state of things continued
until trouble came up before me. Routs and
payments for stock yet en my shelves wer
coming due, Vi-ions of bankruptcy hovered
before my eyes daily, mid (hvems of ruin and
di-praee tortured ma iiight'y. All the fruits
of my past years of toil ur.J fill' denial would
be consumed. 1 became so nervous that tho
entrance cf a cnsual customer was puitiful
instead of chering. I could net meet my
aeqiiuintnnrcs with habitual cheorfulness. tiil
their friendly ciitjiiirios conet inin. my busi
ness were like daggers to mv sensibility. I
shall never lose the ti:: to of that bitterness of
feeling that welled up from lny full hrvuM
with my forced r'-pliea. Put the crbis the

"Aeverl ray dear sir I" suid ho, emphati
cally, and smiling conformation to his word,
while no trace of diccontont at the remainder
distracted from his sunny expression.
"Now I am in trouble, continued Mr. C
"My son is seriously embarrassed by the state
of tho money market, and some heavy do-
mania's cnexpcctedly made upon him tbrough
tl v imprudence of a foreign agent. We can
not meet those drafts, and accommodation is
denied us at the banks. Hence 1 cauio to
you.
"I am glad to have this opportunity of pro-
vinir to vou how rrrittpful I am for that old
fuvor," said the Major, proceeding to his desk
for tho purpose of Complying with his reipwst.
He hastily attached hissignaturo to a blank
check, which ho requested Mr. 0. to fill with
tho required amount.
"Como again," said tho kind-hearted Ma
jor. "Come again ; if this be insufficient,
command my utmost means."
"How shoVt-sighted." said Mr. C. feelingly,
"arc they, in reference to thrir true interest,
who neglect opportunities of doing good. 1
havo never yet performed a trivial net of
kindnes', in o judicious way, that did not
eventually overwhelm mo with returning
benefits."
Then vou think all yonr bonnroler.f a nond

Happy-hcnrtod men. The rewards of vir

of enre, that of late hung so darkly ocer tho
spirits of tho one, wero suddenly dispelled by
tuo Runlight of the other's gratitude.

The new American Counsel at Morocco,
reports some interesting manners and cus
toms in that country. In Tangii r thest reels
do not exceed t ight feet in width nnd are full
of filth and carrion. There is not a wheeled
vehicle or wagon in Morocco. Tho only
means of transportation is 011 mules, nsse's
and camels. The donkey is tho chief beast,
of burthen in town. The only amusement ia
riding on horseback, but there are no
roads'.
In speaking of tho cookery there, our Con
sul says "it is tuvful dirty and filthy, but we
get used to it. Tho butter is churned in pig
skins and is the filthiest looking stufl'you ever
saw put into a cart wheel. The beef is poor,
tough and stringy. The bread fowls and eggs
tolerably good."
The old Assyrian nit. of dyeing, brought
into the country three" thousand years ago, is
Mill preserved in Morocco at a place about
12 days journey in the journey in the interior.
Tho Moors use it in coloring wool which they
manufacture into tho most splendid rugs from
: even to ton yards in length end two yards
wide, thick and well made. They cost, from
320 to $25. Star of tha Xorth.

an importation of snails into France was an
nounced, it was asked "Who wants snails,
and what are they used for?" Mr. J. I.ochcn,
of New York, replies through the Scientific
American, as follows :t
"A rcituin kind of snails are consumed in
Switzerland, ns we consume oysters hero.
The kind I refer to has a shell about one inch
and a half in diameter near the aperture.
They aro nil about two and n half inches long
when creeping on the ground ; their color is
grey. They are found about hedges, and aru
only eaten" in uutuinn nnd winter, when in
their dormant state. Monks and these pro
fessing the Catholic religion, are very fond cf
thr-m, a3 they ar? allowed to cat them upon
fast days, when flesh meat is prohibited. In
some of the convents tin y have regular snail
pastures, whore they are raised in l.iige quan
uties. They are boiled or roasted, and eaten
with butter ; thoir tas'c U excelhl.t.

"That's a lie," Kairl Matt, "and you knew it.

Wrhen Parnum published hia Auto-biography,
in which ho gloats over his carcerof suc
cessful swindling, the Mirror promptly de
nounced tho thing as a disgustingly vicious
volume. Since then our opinion has been
emphatically repeated by tho honest portion
of the American and English Press and re
cently elaborated in a scathing articlo iu
"Plackwood's Magazine."
From the Commercial Advertiser.
We neither Know or care to know with
whom this gross, disgusting, debasing, sensu
ous, nnimnlising idea originated who first
conceived the project of ofiuring such premi
ums for tho CneBt brood of tho human stock,
the fattest specimen of the human vounir. tho
most remarkable illustrations of the fecundity
of the huinun animal for our nature revolts
from such associations. We are nicrally ccr
tain that it did not originnto with a woman.
It must have had its birth in a coarser nature
than ever woman inherited.

Wc did not think that wo should live to
soo humanity so animalizod und brulificd in
this city as it will by such tin exhibition. Wo
did not expect ever to hear of tho ninn who
would dare offer such an insult to tho refined
and civilized peoplo of this Empire City; who
would venture to add to his. wealth and L13
notoriety by an attempt to oblitorato every
thing that distinguishes the young of our spe
cies irom tno young ot swmo and beeves ; who,
for tho suke of drawing visitors to his show,
would deliberately tempt women to confine,
and cram, nnd fatten up, their offspring into
bloated disease, as men do the offspring of
hogs, and sheen, nnd cows, for tho market
aud tho shambles. We never expected that
'to this complexion should wecome atlusfin
tltiscity where we boost ol cultivating intellect
and elevating mind ; of our infant schools and
of our christian infant training. Andwoshall
blush for our refined nnd educated women,
for tho mothers in our proud capital, for tho
husbands and sons of those mothers, for our
population generally, if they in any degreo
sanction by their participation in it, such a
violation of delicacy and decorum, such a ret
rogression in all that is human, and intellec
tual, nnd elevatinsr. nnd nernnt any man to
derivo'a pecuniary benefit from an exhibition
in itself so coarse and brutish and in its ten
dencies so inevitably annualizing und degra
ding, From the Fhilndttphiu I'uliuin
Strange to sny, there have been found wo
men in New York, who have been duped into
lending tho sanction of their names to this
impudent proposition. Two of them are
wives of well known hotel keepers ; another
is a literary lady who has written "Tim Wo
men of tho Revolution," and now may con
template n work 011 "The Rabies of the Nine
teenth Century;" another is the wife of a
publisher of humbug books ; another that of
a hat-maker who has always striven, with a
small capital of brains, to achieve the success
of Parnum ut gulling tho people ; while two
others are uiiknowu to fame, except perhaps
in the narrow sphere of Mr. Parniun's circle
in New York. The ladies nro to be the "jud
ges" of the babies, which happily are lo be
exhibited in that temple of monstrosities, the
American Museum, in Uroadway. These
weak-minded women would bo much belter
employed in nursing their own babies, if they
have any, or at least in attending to their do
mestic, duties, which are usually found sufii
cieiitly onerous for all except the Jcllabj's cf
tho times.
It is to the American Mu:;rum, then, thai
American women nro expected to carry their
oliVpring the future mothers and fathers of
Americans to bo exhibited in stalls and ca
ses, like swine in an agricultural show, the
hrirest litter winninsr the highest premium.
They nro to be ranged among the waxen her
rors, tha pickled mermaids, the MuU'od sea-lions
and tho frightful pictures of that conser
vatory of deceptions.
From the New Utili'orJ Mercury
Whoever has read Mr. P. T. Purnum's life
has piobablv a sufficiently low estimate of the
honcr nnd delicacy of lha't great showman.
Rut Mr. Eui'uuiii, like Triuculo, coiridors
that with a new monster 011 hand "not a holi
day fool but would give Ilium piece of tilver,"
so that ho is ever on tho qui vivo for new ro
.ligies. Therefore he udvutnes for "quar.
Utiis" and "triplets," or four and three babies
;.t u birth, nnd offers prizes for them und for
fat' children, as complacently us if the human
race were like unto the bensis that perish,
and childhood was only los ely in proportion
to it b avoirdupois weight, even i yn th.i Suf
folk piglings at our couuly fairs.
There may be mothers so silly and no vu'..
rar as to expose thuir childreu for the bene
fit of the Prince of wooden nutmegs. There
may bo women who are ready to ttppeur be
fore tho public as the muiicUous parents of
the.-o human litters. Fools there will be, hol
iday fools who will rush In gapeuudwouderin

This eminent politician, tho Father of tho

A Mr. Rurnham, of Ronton, who rivals
Rnrnum in the art of humbuggcry, Las just
published a book eposino; tho manner in
which rimple-minded poultry fanciers wero
imposed upon, by hi in nnd his rxieoeirttes, a
few years ago. We clip out the following
extract, which nfJbrda a key to tho whole
book : .. . , ... .
"Will it t) credited, that timing the sum
mer of 1850, 1 had dofens of full grown men
gentlemen but enthusiastic hcn-fanclfjis
who had rontractod tho fever suddenly
who came to my residence for Cochin Cliina
eggs, at one dollnr each, and who upon being
informed that I had not one in do hcuro,
would quietly sit down in my pnrlor. and wnit
two, three, nnd four hours at a time, for the
hens to lay them a few, that thev might tuke
them away with them ? Such is tho fact, how
ever it may bo doubted,
I subsequently sold tho eggs at ten dollars
a dozen j then ot six dollars ; nnd CucllT.the
third and fourth years at five dollars. 'This
paid mo, because I sent o.Ta good manv.
But they didn't hatch well after 'being
transported away and shaken over in the
hands of carelcBs and ignorant or careless ex
press agents. Thus tho buyers enmo again.
Many of the earlier fanciers' tried theircxper
jment ever nnd over again, but with similar
ill-success ; and when they ban expended ten,
twenty, or thirty dollars perhaps, for egga,
they would begin at the beginning aright, and
puichnso a few chickens to rear, from which
they iinallally could procure their own eggs
and go forward more successfully. Rut all
this took time to bring it about. And mean
whilo somebody I don't say who was
'feathering- certain nests' as rapidly as acourso
01 uiil-nuntifcl ami honorable dealing with las
tuiiow-men would permit. "
Ono day in tho heizht of tho epidemic, he
was visited by a Southern gentleman, who
occamo a purchaser, in the manner and at t he
price Delow related :
"A five-year-old stag mounted tho fence at
this inomct-.t. and sent forth an electrifvintr
craw, sucn us would at tnat period, nave taken
a novico 'right out of his boots,' and a beauti
ful eight-pound pullet showed herself beside
him at the same time. Tho stranger turned
round and said
' 'There 1 What is your trice for such a
pair ns that for instance V
" Tvot lor sale, sir.'
" 'Rut vou will sell them, I s'poso V
"'No sir. I have vouns-er ones to disnose
of; but that roair are n.v models. I can'tscll
them.'
The gentleman's eve was exactly filled
with this pair of chickens.
' v tint will you take Tor those two fowls ?
"'Ono hundred dollars, sir. I leplied.
" I guess vou will when you e-et it he
added. 'Name your lowest price, now for
those two. I want good ones, if any.'
'"I prefer to keep them, rather than to
pari witii uiem at any price, I insisted, 'jr,
however, a gentleman like yourself, who evi
dently knows what good fowls are, desires to
procure tho choicest specimensinthe country,
why, I confess lo you that these are the per
sons into whoso hands I prefer my best stock
should fall. Rut I will show you some at a
lower figure,' I continued, driving this pair
away from tho fence.
'"Don't you! Don't drive 'cm away!' said
ho let's see. 'That's the cock ?'
" 'Ycr sir.'
'"And thi3 the hen?
"'Yes.'
" 'One hundred dollars ! You don't
mean
this of course,' ho persisted.
" 'No. I mean tlut I would
rather keen
tuem sir.
"'Well ni-
take them,' said tho strati-
rt T'ii .... t
Liut. I il take tuem, und
pe r. 'It's cruel. Rut,
ne paid me five, twenty-dollar gmd pieces

DF.ATtt FROM HYDROPHOBIA.
Mr. A. Rodgers, of Franklin, Ohio, died
cf hydrophobia last week. It appears ho
was bit by a mad dog foiiio thirty years ngo,
from tho effects of which ho recovered, al
though at Irregular intervals lie felt a pecu
liar and unpleasant sensation. Being a man
of powerful phjfiiul frame, weighing near
two hundred pounds, it is probable that tho
strength of his constitution kept the effects
cf the virus in his system tubduea". Cn the
January, however, a small, bnlf tUrvod dog
bit him on tho hand, when bo iiilantly re
marked to his wife ho never felt such n pe.in.
It eeemcd to thrill his system like an electric
shock. . Nothing further, however, occurred
at that timo beyond a very severe headache
rnu a slight t.ervous fever. The Dayton
Gazette says :
Tho fame dog was known to have biHori
scverul hogs, but not until the hogs' became
rabid, which was several weeks after, wrs tho
dog stipposod to have been mad. When Mr.
Rodgers becnine acquainted with these facta
he nt once felt that, under his peculiar situa
tion with the virus of 0, former bite in his
system, his case was n hopeless ono, and im
mediately set about closing up his business,
and made his will, communicating his appre
hensions to no person, not even his family.
He enjoyed usual health up to Wednesday
before bis doutb, when the symptoms of hy
drophobia began to manifest thomselver.,
causing him, however, no serious incouveni
ence utitil Friday morning, when ou attempt
ing to wash his hands nnd faco be found him
self unable to get his hands into the water.
He ate but little breakfast and iu a short
time went to bod. About 12 o'clock Friday
night he was seized by a most fearful spasm
which lasted for some time. After tho
spasm passed off he became calm, and con
versed almost incessantly, and assured bis
friends that hn would not harm them in any
way. His next spasm was on Sunday morn
ing, and more violent than the former. The
last spasm seemed to ruck the sufferer with
the most excrutiating agony and was dread
ful in the extreme, even to witness. Dunne-
id 1 his sufferiugs to the momont of Lis death
he was conscious of his condition, perfectly
rational in all respects, and seemed to take
particular care to harm no one Uunntr bis
ravins fits, allhouirh he was in 110 way se
cured, and in the same room with his friends
and attendants.
It is certainly contrary to usual experience
that tho virus should remain so long in the
system, aud give no mora decided manifesta
tions of its presence'. Rut the case, though
a remarkable one, is by no means an isolated
ono
