Oh ! could there in this world be found
S nee little spot of happy ground.
Where village pleasures might go round
With ml the village utiling!
li "v doubly blest that pja e would bo,
When til might dwell in liberty
Of ro -ip's endl'-s# prattling !
It such a spot v, ere really kno-vru.
Dame P-. might claim it ,?• Jser 9a-.it.
And in it h" might fix her throne
Forever and forever;
There, like a queen, might reign and live
Where ■•.-cry one would soon forgive
The, little slight they might receive.
And he off ruled never
The uiis iini-inakers that remove
For from our tit-arts the warmth of love.
A': I lead Ur all to disapprove
What gives another pleasure:
They seem to take one's part, but when
They've heard your ease, unkindly then
They soon retail t'aciu ail again.
Mixed with poisonous measure.
And they have sweh a cunning way
Hi" telling later. They say :
•Don't mention what I say. i pray;
1 would not tell another "
Mraigbt to their neighbor's house they go.
Narrating everything they know.
And break the peace of high and Irar—
Wife, husband, friend, and b*-o:her.
< >h! that, the mischief-makir.e crew
Were all reduced to one or two,
And they were painted red and blue!
That every .me might kuow them :
Then would the village soon forget
To rage and quarrel, fume and fret.
And fall into an angry pet
With things too much below 'hem.
For 'tis sad. degrading part.
'To make another's bosom smart,
And plant a dagger in the heart
We ought* to love and cherish ;
Then let us evermore be found
In quietness with all around.
AYhile friendship, peace, and joy abound.
And angry feelings perish.

a crash that resounds many leagues, and
whitens the sea with lioiiingfoam. ihe ,
gigantic animal has only its tail for de-.
fence. It tries to strike its enemy, and j
inishhim with a -ingle blow. Rut if •
the active swordli-h avoids tlx fatal j

Tie • aggressor springs from the water;

The heroic c< mliat- of the .-wordLsh ,

lb grand Would con',-nd wit"- ihe ee- i

A VVT.STEKX correspondent says: In j

Among other things he told the io;-.v

THE following story is toid <fl .he
,Hev. Morse: At an association dinner
fa debate arose a-to the use ui' the rod
in bringing up children. The dix-tor
took the alarm.dive, and the chief op
ponent was a young minister, whose
! reputation for veracity was not high.
Fie maintained that parents often do
' harm to their children by unjust pun
ishment, from not knowing the facts of
I the case. "Why," said he, "the only
time mv father whipped me was for
I telling 'the truth." "Well," retorted
I the doctor, "if cured vou of it, didn't
i it?"

CHINAMEN AND THEIR V .US. — A
I California letter has the following:
<p,!'- -r chap- ibeset hinanicn nr -. and
i queer cu; torn- they have. In one cor
• nee of the room .-it- my t him.-e boy ,
reading a book upside down; ami-ait-; r
I the manner of his country, grinning
I like a chimpanziH' over hieroglyphics
I tluii a-ok like bunches oi hia- ,v s :-ci n-J
--es. 11 umlersutnds it all, though, and
I prohnbi; And- that style of literature
J vevv funny, i attended the Chinese
! dinner which was given to Colfax, ate
with chop-slick.-., swallowed a little of
' eac.i <>.' the hundred and eighty-nine
; courses that constituted tin- repast.—
We sat down at six .-harp, and got
through at one prompt. Yes, 1 ate
! boiled bantiio, and stewed whalebone
—which oerbaps may lie styled the
j -j l ing w-gctahle of tiie Chinese —
i:harks' lius, birds' nests, and other tlel
! ioactcs .oo ret aperaiiw to mention. i*.y
| way of d'-ss.-rt they liavc pickled cu
, cumber and melon seed#, and gJQ man
; ner of sweet tilings. Taken a-a whole,
however, i don't think i should like a
I steady course of < "liinese diet, though
the tea whicli they gave us was of a
| most wonderful flavor, it was served
i up without sugar or cream, and cost
s.jO a pfiund, which is periiaps the rea
-5 son wiiy they did not ask us to take a
second cup. You would have been a
mused could you have seen each guest
j making frantic attempts to get some
thing into his mouth with the chop
sticks. Try to eat with knitting need-
I lcs. and you will have some idea of the
difficulty of the feat, if 1 were aboard
ingiiouse-keeper 1 think I'd ring them
in upon my hoarders to use instead ol
knives and forks. A little hash would
go a wonderful great way with them.
1 i flanked the difficulty by taking hold
■: of anything with them hy sharpening
i mine off at t he end and harpooning thf
I meat and vegetables.
