He will think of the vines over his mother's window, and will exclaim within himself, "They were far more beauti ful than all this lam gazing upon." Such is the power home memories have over all the heart. Oh, you who have happy homes, prize .hem well; bind their influence about your heart, so , when you are called'to wander far frcim them, you will have naught bnt pleasant ►emories to bear with you. Give earnest heed to the lessons of wisdom which are taught there, and they will bear . golden fruit in after years. True hope is based on energy of character. A strong mind always hopes, and has always cause to hope, because it knows the mutabili ty of human affairs, and how slight a circum etance may change the whole course of events. Such a spirit, too, rests upon itself; and if at het all should be lost, it has saved itself its own integrity , and worth. Hope awakens courage, while despondency is the last of all evils: it is the abandonment of good—the giv ing up of the battle of life with dead nothing ness.

CHlslillo In the air ,the sound of bird-notes; On the,breeze the breath of flowers ; O'er the sky tho silver cloud floats— Thus steal on the Summer hours. Daisies spring up in the meadow— Sunshine on the water gleams ; 1 the brook-side droops the willow— Now steal o'er us Summer dreams. Swallows twitter, 'mid the branches, In the tree-tops' lofty bowels: Softly o'er our waking senses, Steatthe dreamy Summer hours. With the bird-note and the blossom ; With the blush on sky and lower ; With the deep, calm, blue of ocean, Come the sunny Summer hours. Comes with these the blest assurance, Earnest of a better life; Peace for us, and sweet deliverance From the thralls of bloody strife. Through the air melodious Sweet with music's holy power, Freedom's joyous song is ringing, In this glorious Summer hour. THE HARP IN HEAVEN If we desire to enter Heaven, where our Heave Father reigns with the angels, and all good people who hale gone before us, we must endeavor to follow His commandments, that when we come to die, we can trust llim to take us to the celestial city, where harps of golden strings will be provided for thkse who followed His teachings. Says a ladrcontri butor for one of our exchanges: One of the sweetest recollections of my girl hood is a beautiful reply my mother on one oc asion made me, when my heart was swelling with childish grief. I had just returned from, the house of a very wealthy neighbor, who had kindly given me the use of their piano for afew hours every day, to gratify my extreme love for music. Our own cottage home look ed so,plain in contrast with the one I had just left, and no piano within its walls, I laid my head upon the table and gave vent to my over flowing heart. I felt grieved, sand perhaps a little angry, that we were unable to afford the one thing I most desired above all others—a Piano—and expreksed my feelings to my ino ther. Never shall I forget her sweet, gentle tone, as she simply replied, "Never mind, daughter, if you cannot have a piano on earth, you may have a harp in Ileaven." Instantly the whole current of my feelings were changed. Earthly things dlvindled into insig nificance, and the "harp inlleaven," with its golden striugs, became the object of my desire. I felt reproved for my repinings against the Providence that had placed me in an humble home, and from that moment the enjoyment of Heaven seemed far to outweigh all the plea sures of earth. That beautiful reply has fol limed me all my life, or rather has gone be fore me, like a guiding star. lifting my thoughts above this transient life, and opening to my spirit's vision the glorious scenes in that ''land 'cif life and light." I have a "piano on earth" now, but,its charm is gone. Its music no longer gladdens my heart as it once did, for the Tan that loved best to listen to its sweet tones are now enraptured with the grand har monies of Heaven. The dear fingers that so often touched its keys now sweep the golden harp-strings. Oh, that "harp in Heaven: - how my soul longs for one breath of its rich Melody. As I look upon the dear baby fingers in the cradle near me, I think it matters little whether my . , child be rich or poor, whether her path be strewn with thorns or flowers, if she may only have a "harp in Heaven."

A PAIITRN DISPATCH PRAYING FOE RAIN Thi. following comical description is from the new novel of "Litany 3ferval," recently published in England : • It was so warm during the "Litany" that the rector once thought of sending a message to Mr. Barlow, to repeat the prayer for rain. The grain crops would suffer, and the grass lands wanted a little freshening for the after math, or fog, as it is called in the north. The rectory haughs were almost burnt up. But he had never forgotten an experiment on that subject some years ago, under similar circum stances. While he was reading the prayer fur rain an old fanner, a Castle tenant, who lived high up in the vale and had lost his hay crop of the preceding year, suddenly - shouted out from his pew. "Nay, nay,•parson nae mair water yet! next Sunday be time enough ; nae mair water: - The rector stopped, reques ting the farmer to see him in the vestry after service, and then finished the prayer. The farmer walked boldly into the vestry after the service, and the rector, in his full robes, asked him what objections he had to the prayer being tend. The farmer, nothing daunted, replied that his best meadow was in liock and the two other fields had only just been cut, and it didn't suit him to pray for rain to spoil his hay ; how was he to keep his stock through the winter, or to . pay his rent ? there were only some half dozen beside the rector who wanted rain, and it was shameful, for parsons to pray for themselves, and have no regard for the poor that he was only a small farmer. but he had a large family to sup port : that his farm was always wet—and he finished by slapping one of the church ward ens on the back, declaring that no man should pray for rain in that churrill as long as he liv ed—not Elijah himself: The rector was much disconcerted by this attack, and had no reply at hand. But he managed to lose his (eloper, and calling his temporal power to his aid. ;as a justice of peace, he fined the indignant farmer a pound sterling to be paid on the spot, under what statute did not appear., Thu fanner, in reply, shook his fist so close to the rector's nose, that the church-warden interposed, and, with some struggling, at laAt got him out of the church. protesting as he did to the very church door, that he didn't . care for theix prayer'. that in spite of praying, there WOltifi be no rain as long as the wind was in the east, and that his crops should rot on the land for the next rear's crop, sooner than pay one farthing 01 the fine. Of course the rector, with the feat of Mr. John Johnson before his eyes, was glad to let the matter (11(m. and, iiinrc that event, has taken care to pray no more either for fair weather or foul. AN OPPORTUNE ARRIVAL In the year 1,49 I was engaged in collect ing outstanding debts due: the Apalachian. a paper published in Illairsvill , . Indiana county, Pennsylvania and my business led me to the Chierry Tree. at the headwaters of the Susque hanna river. It was in May, and the flowers were out in all their pristine beauty. The water in the river was still pretty high. and I had ridden some distance along the bank when my path di v*•rg-,1 from the river side some distance. and then suddenly came back to the margin, just where the river took a turn and the water deepened. As I approached I heard one sobbing and crying in the greatest distress. and on looking down the river I dis covered a young girl, apparently about fifteen or sixteen years of age. and remarkably good looking, wringing her hands and moaning in the most deplorable manner. I asked her what was the matter, and between her sobs I made out the follow ing7 — I was playini; on this—log-- and--tny bahv fell into the water. and—the—there it !roes down th—there.' And upon looking ‘lou n tLe stream about four or five yards from the shore there floated a chill. its one little hand raised above the rippling waves, while its little head and face bobbed up and flown with every curve of the water. Without a moment's thought I sprang front my horse and into the stream; a few strokes brought me up to the little "innocent." Carefully putting my left hand under it, and holding it almost completely out of the water with my right, I made my way to shore and carefully gtithering it in my arms, I laid it gently in the arms of its little nurse : but judge of my surprise when I beheld—for I had not time to look at it before—that it was a doll baby, with a china head : On looking around for my horse, I saw him just disappearhig over the hill. I gave chase but my clothes were wet, and I didn't overtake hire- until I had footed it for more than seven miles. I can't bear the sight of a doll baby since. If I ever come across that girl again—well, I sup pose she is a girl no longer, and has found out the difference ere this between real and doll babies ; but I wonder if she remembers the stranger who rescued her darling?" THE TURQUOISE Fanciful opinions have been entertained re specting this well-known gem. Mr. Emanuel says: "Many persons believe that the tor quoise indicates the wearer's state of health, and ‘ the fact that turquoises do vary their color in the most unaccountable manner may have something to do with this old superstition— The orientals thought it lucky, and that it would bring health and fortune to the wearer." The same writer supplies us with the follow ing story, for the truth of which we cannot vouch, but which is none the less amusing : "One of my relatives," says somebody, "pos sessed a turquoie set in a gold ring, which he used to wear on his finger as a superior orna ment. It happened that the owner of the ring was seized with a malady of wllfeh he died. During the whole period in which the wearer enjoyed his full health, the turquoise was dis tinguished for unparalleled beauty and clear ness, but scarcely was he dead, when the atone lost its lustre, and assumed a faded, withered appearance, as if mourning for its master. This sudden change in the nature of the atone made me lose the desire originally entertained of purchasing it, which I might have done for a trifling sum ; and so the tur quoise passed into other hands. However, no sooner did it gain a new owner than it regained its former exquisite freshness, and lost all traces of its temporary defects. I felt greatly vexed tat I had lost such a valuable and sensitive gem.'*—Lapidarius.

The tall grass at the approach of thou sands of eager and impetuous feet, waves flo and fro like the waves Of the sea. Grand as a whirlwind, yet in the moss regniar order, the herd hurries on, ; their mane. flowing like bags and their tails erect like banners. At the head of the vast triangle gallops, as leader, guide and champion, the strongest horse of the herd. Behind him in lines mathematically straight—far more straight and unbroken than a cavalry regiment—and gradually extending until they reach their extreme length, at the base of the triangle the illost powerful horses are occupiedas guard. In the middle as most needing help and shelter, are theefoals and and their mothers but still as a portion of the strictly symmetrical lines, This is beautiful, even if—apart from the splendor and energy— ' there was nothing more than au illustration of the infallible geometry of instinct. The s lee tacle however, has other admirers besides the growlto and the travelers as they rein in their steeds tier a moment to gaze. Above, how ever, are the loathsome vulture and the vora cious eruba : and keeping pace with the mighty cohort of the wilderness, is the pitiless juguar. Onward—ever onward—th/t cohort sweeps. But one of the weaklings in the very heart of toe triangle stumbles and falls, and then another. Yet there stalwart brethren pause not ; even for an instant, to succor the unfor tunates. Concerned only that the line might not waver, they furiously tramped on them as if rejoicing to prepare a repast for the insatia ble spoiler. Snuff-Lover's Will. A writer in Chambers' Journa/ telhi this IMO "Dame Margaret Thompson's last will and testament was something unique. It set forth that, as it was usual to put flowers into the coffins of departed friends, and she had never found any flowers so fragrant and refreshing as the precious powder, her trusty servant Sarah was to take care her body was covered with the best Scotch snuff ' Six men, the greatest snuff -takers in the Parish, were to carry her to the grave, and the half-dozen old maids selected to act as pall-bearers were to be supplied with boxes of snuff wherewith to refresh themselves on the road. The officia ting clergyman was to be paid four guineas upon condition that he walked with the pro cession and 'took a certain quantity, not ex ceeding me pound of the same. - Sarah's legacy depended upon her carrying out the wishes of the testatrix, strewing the thresh* of the house in Boyle street with two bushels of snull and walking before the corpse for the purpose of distributing 'every twenty yards a large handful of Scotch snuff to the ground and upon the ground. Lastly, to every legacy bequeathed by Dame Thomp son Was attached a gift of one pound of 'the grand cordial of nature." The. sex 'added a foil to every obvious grace,' blown to the days of the Regency : Queen Charlotte herself was a dear lover of a pinch, and kept her box wcll tilled with best Spanish or violet Stras burg mixed with green tea : and, of course, as long as , the first lady in the land set such an example, fashion saw nothin4, unladylike in feminine snuffing.- THE FRENCHMAN'S REVENCE There are but few pleasing reminiscenes of the time when business and credit wcje pros trated by the hurricane which swept over thi.: country in "thirty-seveu"—when the banks generally suspended specie payments. and hard cash was phenomenon.

THEATRICAL During Mr. Kean's performance of Richard 111, some years ago, at the Park•Theatre, New York, a green Vermotar, who was a stranger to the mimic art, never having been at the theatre before, took a seat in the pit, pretty near the orchestra, and was observed to watch the performance with absorbing interest. He neither joined in the applause bestowed on the performers, nor in the hisses lavished on the "supes," but silently and admiringly look ed on at the play. He heard the drum beat to arms at Bosworth field—heard Richard's soul-stirring address to his army, and that of Richmond also—he saw the onslaught, and heard the clash of arms, and still did he pre serve his silence, but when at length Richard comes reeling in, overcome almost by the loss of blood and the disasters of the day, crying out, at the top of his voice— "A horse ! &horse !my kingdom fora horse !" the Yermonter rose and "sung" out,— "Look hire, stranger, I haint got no horse, but I have 'a first-rate bob tail mare rotutd here at the stable—as sure footed a critter as ever cantered ; just hold on there, 11l be blamed if I don't bring her to you right off!"

The article is not unworthy the attentive perusal of school teachers: "There are two Varieties of the species boy the boy in books and the boy in• seal Rte.— With the boy in books we are all familiar.— He once cut down anapple-tree, and Wouldn't save himself from a flogging by saYlnig he didn't ; in which conduct he differs widely from the boy in real life, as indicated by our experience. The 'boy in books,la some Of U. have read, stood on the burning deck whence all but him had tied. And why did he stand on the burning deck? Did' he do anybody or anything any good by sjanding on the burn ing deck ? No ; his staying was utterly silly and useless. He simply---•,7very eljr--staY ed because his father told hlm . Doles he do his father the injustice to • eye that he would order him to burn himself alive?, Does he think that his father knew of some great end to be attained by strict fulfillment of his command—an end in*ible to the common ken ? No, no. A b of sense would be; morally certain that the spirit of his father's order was directly opposite to its , letter, and would act accordingly. Consequently Cul abianca, though a hero, was not a boy of sense. If you ask the boy in real life his can did opinion of the boy ix books who let him self be burned up because he thought his fa ther wished it, and, if circumstances were fa vorable to sincerity—that is, if guardians and teachers were not lisie.ning—We think the boy in real life would say that the boy in books was a bluggins, and behaved as such In the emergency to which we have alluded. "A perusal of Herbert Spencer's book on Edu cation would startle many who think that they entertain radical views regarding the-cul ture of chililren. 3;L e Spencer starts with the hypothesis that chi t n have all the 'natural rights of human beings, and that no coercion is lawful which is not absolutely necessary tor the protection of the rights ot• others. This, of course, restricts the authority of parents, guardians and teachers, simply to moral sua sion, and limits them to the attainment of their aims in education by the intelligent a daptation of mild means to emergencies. The detect in Mr. Spencer's theory is, .that human nature—which includes ,boy nature, of course —is not sufficiently developed intellectually and morally. to be amenable to its conditions. "But no one plan will do for the manage ment of all boys. The rudeness, frankness and exuberance of some must be modified, though not utterly'repressed, while in other instances it must be developed—cultivated-- The main duty we owe to boys, is to secure them the conditions that are favorable to per fect health. Vain will be knowledge, accom plishment. manner, thrift, oven self-control and self-denial, unless physical health under lie all these. And the guaranty of physic/1d health to all who are organically sound, is plenty of play—out-door play. Mere exercise, without the play element, is aliment without savor, drink without zest. This is why lifting weights and climbing poles and ropes never vitalize a man's organism as sport - of the simplest kind enlivens a boy's system. And the tendencies of a boy's nature, when their direction is normal, are all toward play. We think, too, that it will usually be found that the boy who plays the hardest, works the hardest. Certainly he sleeps the soundest; and sound sleep is a great blessing. It is& grew thing to be engrossed by one's occupa tion. And the apprenticeship to that engross ment is served at play. - Be tolerant, then, of the racket and rude exuberance of' boyhood' You ask a boy to control himself for the sake of your nerves, which are morbidly tender, perhaps, because your muscles and lungs did not get their share of blood when you were a boy. You ask him, we repeat, to control himself for the sake or your nerves. Why not control your nerves and temper for iii.q sake? But the subject grows upon us beyondt he confines of a para graph. and we must stop.- Bewitching New Faithlogin.

He has distinct recollection that; on the 25th of May of that year, the steamer Commodore Perry, of 450 tons hurthen, commanded.by Captain David Wilkinson, was the first to enter Buffalo har bor.
