jig eitzlt 'POETRY OF WATER. Tennyson published a beautiful Idyl, called "The - Brook," in which it is supposed to speak in the fol lowing worde i lrhich Maks nu, as it were, see it and hear it as it runs • I come from haunts of coot and hero, I make a sudden sally; And sparkle out among the fern, To bickerdown the valley. By thirsty bills I hurry down, Or slip between the ridges, By twenty thorpa—a little town— And half a hundred bridges. Till lost by. Philip's farm, I flow To join the brimming river; For men may come and men may go, But I go on for over. I chatter over stony ways, In little sharps and trebles; I bubble into eddying bays, -I babble on the pebbles. With' any a curve my banks I fret;' Many a field and fallow;` And many a fairy foreland set, With willol-weed and mallow. I chatter, chatter, a® I flow To join the brimming river; For men may ciitne and men nitty go, But I go on for ever. I wind about, and in and eta, With here a blossom And here and there a lusty trout, And here and there a grayling: ,And-here and there a foamy flake .Upon me as I travel; With many a silvery water-break Above the golden gravel: I draw them all along, and flow To join the brimming river; For men may come and men may go, But I go on for ever. I steal by lawns and grassy plots, I elide by hazel covers; I Move‘he sweet forget-me-nots That grow for happy lovers. I slip, I slide, I gloom, I glance, Among my skimming swallows; I make the netted sunbeams dance Against my sandy shallows. I murmur under moon and stare, In brambly wildernesses; I linger by my shingly bars, I loiter round my creases. And out again 1. curve and flow, To join the lirimming river; For men may some and men may go, But I go on for ever. THE STILTS. A STORY FOR BOYS go Hallo! Frank, what's your hurry? There's no school this afternoon; so take a walk around with me, and I'll show you my new stilts." ig I should like to see the stilts,'' replied Frank, "but my mother has requested me to come di rectly home at the dose of school." . "Well, it won't take you lona b just to go over arid see them. You know school was dismissed a quarter of an hour earlier to-day, so you will have time enough to go with me, and then get home as early as usual. Come, Frank," said Will Jones, and his reasoning seemed so plausible that Frank Reed was more than half persuaded to ac company him. Then the recollection of his mo ther's request occurred to him, and he said— " Well, what are the stilts, any way? Are they anything remarkable, Will ?" " ' °workable! ou'd think they were. Why Li s iarom. tha ground, and the poled' are planed all smooth, and painted. You ought to see Tim Snow and me. This morning we learned' o hop on one foot, and we can go as fast as you can hop without the stilt; Come, now, say you will go," said Will Jones, is they had reached'the corner where they must separate unless Frank.ocooMpa flied him. Will caught hold.of Frank's hand, and told him they would be there in five minutes if he would only hurry a little. So they proceeded hastily, and soon arrived at Will Jones'. Will ran into the house and brought out the stilts, and Frank pronounced them the handsomest pair he had ever seen. Will. displayed his faculty in the use of the stilts to the great admiration of Frank. He could walk up -the stone steps to the front door, could jump off the sidewalk and hop on one stilt with out losing his balance. Frank was delighted, and when Will had gone through with several won derful feats, Frank asked to borrow them for a little while, So be mounted the stilts, but found it hard to keep his balance; he made several unsuccessful attempts at walking., but at length succeeded, and WWI congratulating, himself on his success, when the striking of the clock reminded him that he ought to be at home. He suddenly threw down the stilts, exclaiming- 7 so How long I have stayed. Yon must come and see me this afternoon, Will, and bring your stilts." "No," said Will, "you come and see me. Tim Snow and ever so many boys are coming over, and we will have fun enough.' "I'll see," said Frank, and away he ran. -When he arrived home he was all out of breath. He ran hastily into the house, hung up his cap—for he had not the bad habit of some boys, who, when they take off their caps, give them a toss without notioing where they fall, and then the next time the cap is wanted, run to their mothers with the question-- "Where is my cap?" Frank wondered what his mother would say at his being so late, and he almost dreaded to meet her—but be hear& her footsteps just as he hung up his cap, and very soon her hand was on his shoulder. "You are a good boy to conic right home," his VOW said in a tone of affection, " bat I aui afraid You haie run all, the way; your -brow is moist with perspiration." Frank'could not meet his mother's countenance and receive her approbation, without feeling that it was undeserved. lie ought to have told his mother why be had been running, and owned that he was not so deserving of praise' as she sup posed. But he didn't. Be simply'said that he TOW go and wash, that he might feel more com fortable. At dinner he was very quiet, and when his mo tketipoke to him he hardly dared to look up for fear she would read _disobedience in his counte nance. As soon as dinner was over he asked per mission to go and play with Will Jones. To this his mother objected, and Frank very impatiently asked, "Why not?" Now this was Frank's great failing. If his parents desired him to do, or not to do, anything that was not in accordance with his inclinations, Frank would grow peevish and ask, "Why not?" or "Why must IR" Now this was very wtong. His parents always had a good fealwri for their commands, and sometimes they gave the reason—but it would take too long al ways to explain why they desired or forbade any thing, and sometimes they had a reason which, Frank could not have understood had they ghen °it; - So now, "Why not ?" Frank asked. "The other boys are going—Tim Snow, Hal Cutler, Jo Ross, and lots of them—and they want me to come. They , are going to have fine sport walking on edits. "Then that is a reason why you should not go," said Mrs. Reed; "your father does not con sider stilt walking a safe play, and would certainly object, even were there no other reason—but I wish to have my son feel confidence in his parents, and do their bidding from respect and affection— even when they withhold the reason," and his mother left the room, after telling Frank that she wanted to see him in the sewing room at three o'clock. Frank wondered what hie mother wanted with him at three o'elook. 111 never can go anywhere," he muttered to himself; "anywhere when I want to," he added—for in Spite of himself, recollections o his parents' kindniiseEi name to his mind, and he felt that they were right. But he was unwill-, ing to acknotvledge To kniself the ttuth. Theti he began to consider if he could not'run away and play a while with the boys and not be missed— bat he was afraid to try the scheme, and he. only fretted away the time till the hour appointed by his mother arrived. Then he, entered the sewing room', and his mother held up a new suit of clothes. "Here, my son," said she, "is the very suit you liked so much These are for your best ones, and to-morrow those that have been your best you. may wear to school. blow take these to your room and try them' on; it may be that they will need a little alteration!' Frank took the, clothes, and thanked his mother. When he got to his room ;his eyes were filled with tears, and he said to himself, "I've a good mind to tell mother all about my going to Will Jones' and trying his stilts." Then he put down the suit, walked to the door, and stopped. The resolution seemed to make him feel better, and he said, "I'll try the clothes on first.", So he put on the clothes, and then went•back to the sewing room. His father had goae,gad When Frank arrived there, his courage idled him, and' so he postponed the fulfilment of 'his resolution. "Your fatherisgoing to give us a ride Frank "? said, his mother. "Fin glad, to see your-clothe fit so lien; you may keep them'on „ I`shall' be ready in a few minutes, and then we, Will go." The ride was delightful. The air was clear and invigorating. The sky was without a cloud, and' brightly. blue. True, there were no summer flow ers to give fragrance to the air and beauty to the vigw, but autumn had done her best at tinting. Elm trees and maple blended their gold 'and crim son colois, and claimed admiration. "See, Frenkie," said his mother, and Frank saw and faintly smiled--his mother wondered why— but Frank well knew. That night Frank was troubled in his sleep. He dreamed that the boys bad borrowed his stilts and run away with them, and once be milled out so loud, "Give me my stilts," that 'his mother heard him and went to his room.. , . The next morning Frank felt troubled. He wanted to tell his mother all about his &obedi ence, and he felt as thoualt he would never say "Why not?" again, and be wanted to tell her so —but he didn't. He went to school expecting to meet the boys. He thought they would wonder why be bad not met them the day before to play stilt-walking----"but I can tell them I went to ride," said he to himself. The first boy he met was Tim Snow. "Where's! Will Jones Frank. • - " Haven't you heard about him?" said Tim. "Why he has had a dreadful fall from his stilts. The Doctor says one of his elbows is dislocated; : --- and he doubts if he will ever have the use of it again." They had arrived at the schoor-house. Frank only sighed in reply; but when he went home that noon. he told his mother about his going With Will' Jones to see the stilts, and how unhappy ha had been ever since—and •now, he says, he knows what that verse means that says—" He that covereth his sins shall not prosper, but whoso con fesseth and forsaketh them shall find mercy." Boston Recorder. Jlt ioffilautotto. 2toCirrioN We bacttbe pleasure, a few evenings , ago, ~of hearing Professor L. GI. White reciting, at the request of numerous friends and pupils, the pieces entitled, "Mercy," "Coral. Grove," "Re • 'ons from Westminster Abbey," "The Gray tainly a rare treat. Professor White has now been engaged over forty yearsin giving instrue tide in the art of elocution. Many of thoSt-Who have had the greateatreputatimi as public speak ers, are„to..a very considerable extent, indebted to him for their celebrity. Although advanced in year's; lid still exhibits the vigor and vivacity ofyohti,, andls is devoted to his profession. tie ,is Often Called, - to give lisions at colleges and nettanorien in afferent neetiPnn of the countiT and has, in every instance;` we believe, given very general satisfaction. Les sons were given by him, and by his"accomplished daughter, at . the Seminary of the Associate Church, a few years ago. We hive ever heard but one, opinion expressed in relation tothe qualifications of either the father or diughte.r.• We have.had some opportunity of benoining,ac-. (painted with their system, and the principles on which it is founded, and also with their mode of communicating instruction, and we have no hesitation in saying that it meets with our cor dial approval. We would most earnestly press this matter of elocution upon the attention of all who have, it in view to be public-speakers, and especially" upon those who are looking forward to the mi nistry. Let them, like the great masters in this art, , be elosti students of nature: Let "them DO ties the intonations 'of the, voice, and the move ments of the hand, as exhibited by persons in the different walks of life, when giving expres sion to the various passions and feelings of the human heart; and especially let them notice their own, when the impulses of Nature are not checked by those restraints to which she is kfo often subjected. We have no doubt that, even without the aid of an instructor in elocution, a .person may, by a careful observation of na ture, greatly improve himself, if he only remem bers, in all his efforts, the saying of Swift, that " In oratory the greatest art is to conceal art." Still, greatand incalculable advantages may be derived from the lessons of_ one who, like Professor White, has made this art the study of a life-time, in, the way of directing attention to the laws of nature by striking illustrations, and in the way of correcting those departures from these laws into which persons, unconsciously i to trieifieelves, so frequently fall. Itis Co be deeply regretted that this impors taut matter is so often neglected by those whose great business is - public speaking; and - especially by those who are addressing 'their fellow-me - a on themes of infinite moment. How often are the finest thoughts of a "Masterly sernionran heeded consequence of the delivery? there are scores of preachers in our own chareb.Whose influence for good would have been a hiindred fold greater than what it i 5, had they given 'pro per attention to this matter. Who can deny the almost irresistible power of eloquence ? Who is not ready to say, with the old poet, Da- "Power abOve powers I 0 heavenly eloquence That, with the strong rein of commanding frorig, Dust manage, grade, and master the high eminence Of man's affections!" • THE DEATH 'QP RALPH FARNHAM, THE BUNKER HILL VETERAN. . HIS LAST HOURS. The Boston Traveller details the death of Ralph Farnham, the last survivor of the Battle of Bunker Hill. From its columns the following is extracted. After Mr. Farnham's return from Bostpn, his health seemed rather to improye than to be im paired, and he often spoke in the most gratified manner of the results of the excursion. " I feel younger than a year ago," and " My health never was so good," were common remarks with him. About four weeks ago be got up one morning as usual, and was pouring some hot water from a tea-kettle 'to wash with, when his son's wife ob served his hand to tremble, and be was noticed ,to tan pale as if about to faint. Mrs. Farnhain tvk hold of the kettle, and, as he seemed to grow more faint, finally assisted him to lie down. He lay edme time, but finally got up to eat breakfast. It was noticed that his appetite was not so good as usual, and he seemed to act as if something was choking him. He remained in this condition for a number of days, but finally improved, and was again quite well. After this he often brought in Christian Instructor Ai.*::tritAn 'g1i44..:., - 444. :.I;.,:ll•,fi'..#::.ii,.,e•.(Ott#l.tpl:iot..:; his own wood as usual, and continued , in excellent health until last Saturday, when' he was again slightly ill. HIS LAST CONVERSATIONS. On Tuesday afternobn, While his son's wife Was with 'him, he asked : " Aint there angels in the room?" She replied: "Fath'er, do you think there are ?" "Oh, yes," said he, " the room is full of them, and they have come to assist me home." - While Mr. Miller was there he said to him: "Don't leave till I get home to glory." On Wednesday :norning, about an hour and a half before his death, he attempted to raise him= self in bed, and almost succeeded in doing so, but failing, asked to be'raised'up,utterindhis last words: "Raise me up a little higher --there." A short time before his death he was conversing with a grandson on the Subject of the troubles at the South. His language on this occasion, as nearly as can be recollected, was as follows: "I be lieve these troubles will all come' out right in the end, and that the Union will not be broken up. I may not live - to see all the difficulties settled, but, they will be. I hope'and wish the whole nOuntry, well. I have no doubt that Mr. Lineoln will, do justice, and bring South Carolina right. I have great confidence . inhis ability to govern the nation, and prevent it from being .broken up." A short time before his death, he repeated the 14th verse of the first chapter of HebreWs: "Are they not all ministering • spirits, sent forth to mi nister for them Who shall be heirs of salvation?" At the election he Was unable• to go to the polls on account of the rain, and this , circumstance pained hini inuchi He was very fond of Lincoln - , always alluding td him as' the "Rail:splitterf but With all his enthusiasm in favor of his own party, he was not bigoted at all, nor did he ever, dispute With his neighbors on political subjects, though he often conversed with them on the state of the country, up to the time of his death, On Monday afternoon he was engaged' ill prayer for some time, and on Tuesday morning, as seen' as he got rip, he knelt by his bed and engaged in earnest prayer,: Many of his conversations of late have related to his visit to Boston. He seemed to regard this trip with a great deal of pride. On one occasion! he spoke of the distinguished visitors who came to see him'at the Revere House. "One day," said he. "Edward Everett came to sees me. I can't remember much he said toMe, except that I asked hini who was going e President, and he re plied, 'lt's hlrti telling who will be Governor till af ter the election' "One day," Governor Banks and Mrs. Banks came to see me, and each of them made me a present. Mrs. Banks kissed nie, and I don't recollect that I ever felt so embarrassed in till my lffe as I did when I found the Governor's wife was going to kiss me."

Whe Egyptian phonetic writing was only an elhborate multiplica tion of signs upon the same system which was common to them and the neighboring nations of Asia. Now, that system of writing, in all the com pleteness that ever belonged to it, is found, at this. hour, upon monuments, which must haie been in scribed long before Abraham left Ur of the °hal dees. Moreover, upon those same monuments we find, pictures of books;-ancl repeatedly occur the bound papyrus roll and the scribe's writing appa ratus, a4graphie signs--evincing a pre-existing familiarity with the art. Under 'the fourth, dy nasty. of Egyptian kings, at least tiro hundred years before'the call of Abraham, such evidences of the antiquity - of writing are both numerous and unmistakable. A similar witness has - recently arisen to testify to the antiquity of the same art in Assyria. Among the Multitidei of written - monuments col lected from the ruins of Babylon and Nineveh; Some`have come down from the very time Of Abra ham, and Others, in _the opinion of the mosaearned Assyrian archmologists, are probably older than. that by more than two hundred years. -And no thing has yet been discovered which intimates that research has entered upon the period when writing was invented. 'Within these fewmonths, announcement has 'been . made of a discovery, which, ifveritied, must carry the history, not only o'f writing,, but also of litera ture in Assyria, fully up to the date of the earliest Egyptian mounninents. We refer to the Arabic translations of ancient Babylonian books, recently examined by Ghwolson, of St. Petersburg. Upon those books themselves we are not yet in condition to found an argument; but the reputation, of the eminent scholar, who makes the announcement, is mob as to leave no room to question either his own entire belief, in the reality of his discovery, or the honesty and laboriousness of the investigations by which it was reached. And the very fact, which is not now stated for the first time, that, in the days of the A.bbassides, there were ancient Babylonian books still extant, is one not to be left out in this connection. - • Writing has-from ancient time been the favorite art of the sons of Shem. We do not mean to say that every tribe of them, in every age, has possessed skill therein; but the great divisions of the people have from time 'immemorial cherished it as an ethnic feature. Most remarkably have they been the people of the book. A book has, in all record ed ages, been their rallying point—their national centre. Even in the present day, sunk as they are, crushed under the weight of ages of degene racy, scattered refugees over the face of the world, wherever you find a little neighborhood of the sons of Israel, you find readers--hreaders of the ancient language of Canaan. And even among the savages of Africa, the wandering or trading Arab, has Car ried hiis national art of the pen. Consequently, we deem it exceedingly improbable that, living in the midst of those who used writing, the Semitic pa triarchs should have remained -ignorant'of it. " Princeton Review.
