: one Of earth's prilgrims who has come to years
of maturity who does not look back wit,. feel
ings of joy to that loved spot where he was
wont to gather with loved ones round a home
fireside? He may cross the blue sea, wander
ifor many years in a stranger land, revel in all

of revelry a (lithe from "memory bells" will
fall upon his ear, and he will pause to think
for a moment
GETTYSBERG
"Of his hour o'..r the Ocep. -
His eyes may be greeted with beautiful
scenery, the fragrance of rare flowers may per
fume the air, but his mind Will wander back
to the fields_ and groves around the home of
his early years. 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

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. He who can implant courage in the hu-
Man soul is.the best physician. To seek to
govern men by their fears and their wants is
sn ;unworthy. purpose ; the desire to rule by
means of cowardice. Love inspires courage
and hope, and this is dodbly the giver and
preserver of life. Whatso*er teaches bold
ness to combat the manifold evils and assaults
of life, enables us to win the crown of victo
d. Special care therefore, ought to be taken
education to teach what true courage is—
as well in social and domestic 8s in public af
fairs—and by what means it maybe best sus
t, tied.
In the works of British Essayists, may be

I tier of the Marshal Bonfflats„ to the French

ISUJIVAIRM HOURS.
BY MICS, F. M. 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."

HOPE AND COURAGE.
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.

AN EXCITING PECTACLF..
One of the most marvelous sights ever wit
nessed, is a herd of wild horses, in full and
fiery march along the pampas of South Ameri
ca. 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.-

We reeolleet - but one mirth-provoking Mei

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 Vermonter, as they say in et ideal par
lance, " brought down the house."
Cif - A. bishop, who was fond'of shooting, in
one of his excursions, met with a friend's game
keeper, whom he sharply reproved for inatten

strenously to "go to church and read his Bi
ble." The keeper in an angry mood respond
ed, "Why, Ido read my Bible, bttt I don't
find in it any mention oflhe apostles going a
shooting." "No, my good than, you are
right," said the bishop ; "the shooting was
very bad in Palestine, so they went fishing
instead." . t

REGARDING ROTS.
The New York Commercial Advertiser
offers the following sensible remarks alas
boys, which we commend. to parents. 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.-

as a class, woman can contrive more outland
ish and ugly customs than one would think
possible without the gift of inspiration. But
this time they hare been felicitous in inven
tiJn. The wretched waterfall still remains of
Arse, but in a modified form; every change
we\have undergone was for the better. First
it represented a bladder of Scotch snuff; neat it
hung (I,wn the woman's back like a canvass
covered barn ; afterward it contracted, and
counterfeited a turnip on the back of the head ;
now it sticks straight out behind, and
looks like a wire muzzle on a greyhound.—:
Nestling in the midst of this long stretch of
head and hair reposes the little batter-cake of
' bonnet, like a jockey-saddle on a race-horse.
You will readily perceive that this looks very
unique, and pretty. and coquettish. But the
glory of the custom is the robe—the dress. -No
furbelows, no flounces, no biases, no rates,
no gores, no flutter-wheels, no hoops to speak
of—nothing but a rich, plain, narrow /black
dress, terminating just below the knees. in
long saw teeth (pointing downward); and tin
der it a flaming red skirt, enough to pat your
eyes out, that reaches down only to the ankle
bone, and exposes the restless little feet.—
Charming, fascinating, seductive, bewitching!
To see a lovely girl of.seventeen, with a sad
dle on her head, and a muzzle on b.hind, and
her veil just covering the end of her-nose,
come tripping along in the hoopless, red-bot
tomed dress, like a churn on fire, is enough
to set a man wild: I must drop this subject,
—I can't stand it.-Ifark Twain.
THE COLDEST SEASON
The Buffalo f'ounier has found a man, Mr.
Jerome Botsfdrd, who remembers a colder
'spring than the recent, and says that news
papers and weather critics are all wrong in
their complaints about this season as the
"most backwardever known." '
He says the spring of 1837 was not only
more backward, but much more rain felt than
than has fallen this season. 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. She arrived from Detroit, via To:edo,
and had to break her way through the ice :
for a distance of thirty miles. The canals
opened that spring on the 26th of April, And
that crowds of passefters would arrive on the
canal boats day after (lay. rush aboard the
steamers lying at the dock, tind seeing no pros
pect
of getting through the ice barrier in the
harbor, would take the stage for Dunkirk and
other points, where they could procure....-pas
sage on steamers to .the upper lakes. Not ,
withstanding the wet season and late 'planting
that year, the crops of :837 yielded most abun
dantly.
tairA gentleman, driving up to a country inn.
somewhere in Clinton co., Pa., accosted a
youth thusly :
"Adolescence; extricate my quadruped from
the vehict; stabulate him; donate him a suf
ficient SU ply of nutricions ailment, and when
the aurora of morn shall again igurninale the
‘viental hiprizon, I will reward your amiable
hospitality with a pecuniary eompeipation."
