Upon the brown and far off hills
The haze lies soft and blue,,
Where nuts are dropping thick and fast,
Wbere Somme Wild flowers grew,
The Staple's gold and crimson leaves ,
Like blbod-stained banners gleam,—
And purple asters ope their bloom
Beside each forest atrium".
The woods like Home grand temple stand
Beneath the glinving skies,
While down the long dim aisles the haze
' Like slumb'ring incense Des. •
No organ's deep, majestic notes
- Come peeling on the air—
No choral strain triumphant flies
Along those at4.lies fair.
No voice is heard—rno sound, save but
The brooklet's rip'ling sow, •
Or whistling quail in covert thick,
Where scarlet berries grow.
Perchance some frightened rabbit's tread
sr May wake an echo there,
Or drowsy hum pf honey bee
Fall on the dreamy air.
The sunflower and the golden rod
Their gaudy hues unfold,
And seem as if some Midas touch
Had changed them into gold.
The grapes in pUrple clusters hang
Upon the clinging vine,
And in the orcha { rd, 'mid the leaves, •
The ruby apples shine.
Bat through the forests, o'er the hill,
A voice comes whispering low—
It murmurs of the wintry winds
And of the falling snow.
The crimsoned 14sves to earth must fall,
And breezes o'er them sigh—
Ohl sad it seems; that aught so fair
Should ever fade or die.
We read - on every falling leaf
This lesson inost sublime,
That Resurrection's holy power
Shall triumph over time.
For though the Bummer flowers may fade,
The spring with:gun and rain ,
Shall call them from the vale ,
To bud and bloom again. •
Much of the unhatirriness in this world arises
from giving utterence to hasty, unkind words.
Many a sorrowful hbur and sleepless night
have been spent brooding o'er some harsh or
angry word, which has dropped from the lips,
in a moment of unguarded passion. How
much pain we would save ourselves and others,
if we would guard all our ways and actions.—
Kind words, spokenf Izt the right time and
place, do more to heal the wounded spirit than
all the gold which ; this world can give.—
They cost nothing while they enrich the heart
andscatter sunshine all around, winning many
true and faithful friends.
' A little word in kindness spoken,
A smile, perhaps a tear,
Has often healed a heart that's broken,
And made a friehd sincere."
ifow indelibly does s little act of kindness,
performed at the right moment,-impress Itself
upon the mind. '
,'•
litury years ago a Tittle child stopped to
,ad
mire the flowers in a beautiful garden. It was
an orphan, and already had felt the hand and
bitter pangs of an orphan's lot. The owner
of the , garden noticed the child and spoke
kindly to him.
"Do you love flowers ?" said he.
"Oh, yes. We used to have beautiful flow
ers in our garden."
The man gathered some and banded them
to the boy, saying as he did so, "here is a
nice little bunch for you." The child took
the flowers in a manner that plainly told his
gratitude. It was an act of spontaneous kind
ness, and scarcely thought of again. Years
went by, and throuo toil and poverty the
child grew to manhood. It is said from or
deals like this sometimes come our best men.
8o it proved in the case of this orphan. We
now find him respected and beloved by all
that know him. Through all these years he
has never forgotten• the man who. so long Aga
spoke that kin word. When he again met
him it was na , '"m the beautiful garden, culti
vating the fragrant flowers, but in the cold
and dismal abode of poverty. Then his was
the hand streched forth to help the white
haired old man in his hour of need. Thus
the little act of kindness was doubly repaid;
bringing to-our minitthe words of the beau
tiful hymn "Kind words can never die."

THE BABY.—Who !knows not the beautiful
group of babe and Mother sacred in nature,
now sacred also in religious associations of
half the globe ? Welcome to the parents is
the puny struggler, strong in his weakness,
his little arms more iresistible than the sol
dier's, his lips touched with persuasion which
Chatham and Pericles in manhood had not.—
The small despot asks so little that all nature
and reason are on hie side. His ignorance is
more charming than knowlecge, and his
little sins more bewitching than any virtue.—
All day, betweeh his ; three or four sleeps, he
coos like a pigeon house, sputters and spurns,
and puts on his *es of importance ; and
when he feats, the little Pharisee fails not to
sound his trumpet ore him. Out of blocks,
thread-spools, and checkers, he will
build his pyramid with The gravity of Pella=
dio. With an accoflatic apparatus of whistle
and rattle he exploies the laWs of .sound.
But chiefly, like hiffsenior countryman, the
young American 's dies new and speedier
modes of transpc4atkn. Mistrusting the
cunning of his small I*, he wishes to ride
on, the necks and shoulders of all flesh. The
small enchanter itothih' g can withstand—no
seniority of age, no grainy of character ; un
cles, aunts, cousin, griidsires, granddames—
all fall an easy prey ; h f conforms to nobody,
all conform to him ; i all
_caper and make
mouths, and babble and Chirrup to him. On
the strongest shoulders be rides, and pulls the
hair of laurelled heads.;--R. S. Emerson.

This histitutiou, dated for, its
,foundur,
Stephen fiiiard, mid\ standing prominent
among the places of hitexest to the stranger
who visite Philadelphia, Ye situated in the
northwestern part of the The college
grounds, forty-five acres ement,, are en
tirely-sirreunded by a wall Um fbet high and
sixteenloms thick, the entire leukth being
more than one and a cpuutei miles.
The marble buildings, erected at a tof
nearly $2,000,000, present an imposin
pearance. The main building is in the fo
of a Greek Temple. The cella or body is 111
feet wide and 169 feet long, and is surrounded
by a wide peristyle or porch whichls reached
from the ground by eleven steps extending
entirely around it. Upon the peristyle rest
thirty-four columns each fifty-five feet in
height and six feet in diameter. The ceiling .
of the peristyle is of cast iron and painted in
imitation of marble. Not only are the walls
and columns of marble, ° but likewise the
floors, stairways and roof.
From the top of the buildbip a magnificent
view, meets the eye. On the east rolls the
Delaware, on the west you catch occasional
mpses of the Schuylkill, and south of you
be seen the great body of the city with
its busy, thronging masses of humanity.
There are four out-buildings, each fifty-two
by one hundred and twenty-five feet, where
the officers and pupils reside. Two of these
are east and two west of the main building
and ranging with it, the nearest being at a
distance of 140 feet. These are also composed
of marble.
Stephen Girard died in 1831, worth $7,500,-
000, having given in his will minute directions
for the erection and regulation of the college.
On January Ist, 1848 the institution was
opened and one hundred orphans admitted.—
Three hundred is the total number accommo
dated, and as fast as vacancies occur they are
filled. In accordance with the requirements
of the will none are admitted except white
male orphans between the ages of six and ten
years, preference being given to those of Phil
adelphia. The pupils are fed, clothed and
educated entirely by the institution, and may
remain until they arrive at ages between four
teen and eighteen years, at the discretion of the
Board of Directors.
The extensive grounds are beautifully laid
out in drives and walks, and planted with
trees and shrubbery. A large space is devoted
exclusively to play grounds, where there are
extensive preparations for games and gymnas
tic exercises, and at the western end of the
estate a pond has been made where the health
ful exercise of swimming may be enjoyed at
suitable seasons.
The entire arrangements of the crvllege seem
to be most complete, and so far as a visitor is
capable of judging, order and neatness reign
triumphant. From the time of rising to that
of retiring every half hour has its special occu
pation. Upon suitable occasions the orphans
are taken to visit places of Interest, but these
grounds and buildings, for_their term of edu
cation, may be considired their world. The
massive iron gates on the north and south
sides of the enclosure are kept locked, so that
there is neither ingress or egress except by
permission of the gentleman who keeps the
gate house.
As the visitor leaves this beautiful home for
the fatherless sons of our State, he cannot but
admire the man, and feel a sense of gratitude
towards one who has given so liberally of his
self-earned wealth for so many noble purposes.
Many have endowed colleges and institutions
where the favored eons of fortune may receive
superior advantages of education, but Stephen
Girard's first thought was for the penniless
orphans thrown, like himself; upon the cold
charity of the world without the means of
obtaining an education, and exposed to such
numerous temptations to vice and immorality.
Already there must be thousands who bless
the name of)iim who furnished the means to
enable them, if so disposed when diey leave
college, to become useful members of society
and an honor to our Commonwealth.

PLUMP Woints. -The N.Y. Gazette thus con
cludes a plea for "plump women" : But what
ever education our girls have, let us have less
of it. American girls are notorious for their
pallor and frailty and tendency to wither and
lose their charms at an early age. This coun
try has no greater want at the present time
than plump girls and plump women. Let us
have them plump and healthy, Whether they
know anything or not. We can teach their
children what they don't know if necessary ;
by all means let as have rosy, blooming, sol
id women. The Pacific railroad is not half
so important to the prosperity of this country
as the aggregate avoirdupois of its women.—
The female sex of America ought to weigh at
least half as much again as it does.

Idleness is a criminal prodigality, because it
wantonly wastes time, causes unnecessary la
bor to industrious persons, adtt is the prolific
author of want and shame. An idle man Is a
blank in society; - and lives—contrary to all
the laws of nature and civilization—for no
definite purpose. - Creative wisdom designed
man for virtuous action, but indolence robe
the creature of happiness by a violation of
this design while he exists upon this globe ;
and may endanger it in another state after
death. The Turks have a true prcnnerlb which
is, "the devil tempts all other men, but the
Idle man tempts the devil."
\ While a man remains inert, he commits no
evident evil, nor does he any actual good,
but I& sout cannot rest thus quietly; it nat
urally engenders evil, And this ultimately
rouses hint , to action— for "Satan always finds
some mischief still,' for idle hands to do."
Naturally we, ate not'perfect, but have the
power of improiniment, by which means we
may make ourselves "wise unto salvation."
Manual labor is an invigorator of both body
'and mind. It promotes health, and increases
virtue, by occupying time . -which might be
wickedly wasted. If the mind be not stored
with useful knowledge it will be filled with
nonsense.
The Roman emperor, Titus, who con
quered Jerusalem, and was considered such a
tyrant, on account of his meridiem butchery
of the prisoners, became a converted man b.•
fore death, and for every day in which some
good act was not performed by him, he e*
claimed, "I have lost a day." If we resolved
to do as he did, how much more precious
time would be saved, and how much better
an account would we have to give to that
Eternal Judge, who will summon the world
at the last day to account for the "deeds done
in the body."
"Who's born for sloth ? To some we And
The ploughshare's annual toil assigned ;
Some at the sounding anvil glow,
Some the swift alining shuttle throw; -

Pit*MICER NAM LEFT CIL
Yes, summer has left us, but she gave us a
warm kiss at parting, and her hot breath still
glows upon our cheeks. Already the return
ing wave of travel begins to be felt, and It
will soon bear back upon its crest the seekers
after health or. pleasure, who left us for a
time. The arteries of trade begin to swell
and throb with new life, and all the busy ex•
citements of s city existence will soon be re
newed with even more than their wonted fer
vor. Business and fashion, trade and dissi
pation, will elate claim their votaries and their
victims, and awhile some will worship at the
shrines of each—others will immolate their
souls only upon one altar. A few months of
busy life will precede the torpor and
tion of the winter season, and in that
time how many bright bubbles will be blown
to glitter awhile in the sunlight with their
changing hues, and then burst and disappear
forever.
Many rejoicing in the full tide of prosperity
or enjoyment, will be borne along so swiftly
on the current of existence that they will fail
to notice its landmarks as they pass, while
others toiling painfully up the hill of life will
count hours as months, and days as years,and
long vainly to be emancipated from the charm
which binds them to the dull foot of time,
who, whether chided or unheeded, steadily
pursues his unchanging course. While, there
fore, the present still unrolls before us the pa
ges of the future, may we read therefrom les
sons of wisdom and instruction, and inscribe
thereon only those acts which we will not
blush to read, when they become the annals
of the past
"Ur daughter," said a fond and affectionate
mother, as she gave the parting kiss to her
child, that was leaving the home of her child

"Let Virtue be thy precious jewel ; Truth, thy

cotemporary states, that by means of the ster
eoscope, forgery can readily be detected in the
case of bank-notes.. If two accurately identi
cal copies of ordinary print be placed side by
side in the stereoseope they will not offer any
unusual appearance ; but if there be any, the
•lightest difference, that difference will at
once be made manifest by the elevation into
relict or the reverse, of the corresponding
space above the adjoining marks, and by this
simple process a forged bank-note can at once
be detected.

to alleviate the sufferings of down& animals

Everytidng worth knowing, we might to
know, and our knowledge should be soak u
would redder us equal to all the emergent:ler
of poultry sktknees.
The dhieases of poultry, being taken in time;
may not result in a serious malady, too often
resulting in death; but procrastination Is
generally as fatal in poultry as anything else.
The ailments of fowls may generally be
traced to ' a variable temperature, to irregular,
injudiciou feeding, or to their being kept on
ground Which has beconie Impure with their
use of IL Judicious feeding, perfect cleanli
ness, and, occasional removal to new ground,
will, to a great extent, keep fowls healthy.
The following are the principal diseases
among them :
evidenced by irdhutuimUon of
the brain.
Tracheal Inflammation (or gapes,) with
parasitic worms In the windpipe.
Roup, which is highly infectious, and s
very deadly disease, but if taken in time car,
be cured. 'The premonitory symptoms area .
slight hourseness, and catching in the brealik,
as if from cold.
Moultipg, with old fowls, is often so severe
and so prinracted, that it carries them off.—
The you'll are also victims of leg mg:able=
and bad feathering.
Sickly fowls should always be removed
from the fowl house on the first symptom of
illness, theY are generally ill-used by thirir
compinlons—pecked at, and evidently become
objects of dislike. "
Apoplexy with fowls, as in Boman beings,
is difficult to cure. It is generally the result
of high feeding, and is most common among
laying hens, which are sometimes found dead
on the nest—the expulsive efforts required in
laying being the immediate cause of the at
tack.
The only hope for cure consists in an instant
and copious bleeding, by openings vein with
a sharp-Pointed penknife or lancet. The lar
gest of the veins seen on the under-aide of the
wing, should be selected, and opened In a
longitudinal direction, not cut across, and so
long as the thumb is preened on the vein at
any point between the opening and the body,
the blood will be found to flow feeely. Light
food and rest should be given - the bird after
the operation.
Gapes, in nine cases out of ten, are obtained
from rain or impure water, and if a certain
preventiVe (not cure) ielliesired, the use of
camphor will be found the most efficient rem
edy. A small intap, about the size of a pea
nut, kept constantly in the vessel from which
the fowls drink, will niake gapes unknown
in your yard. ...Having carefully adppted this
precaution, this year more particularly. and
having raised over two hundred dildums,
without one case of gapes, I can testify that
camphor is the only certain remedy. My
neighbor, Hr. T.-, who is also &member
of the American Poultry Society, and who
has equal, if not superior advantages to mine
for poultry rearing, has lost three-fourths of
his chickens by gapes, which I attribute to his
use of rain limier and norone of camphor.
Rain water will, after having stood some
time, be fimnd, by e • inimktion under a micro
scope, to contain worms identical with those
taken from the throat of a chicken suffering
from gapes.
Iloilo, if treated at the outset, may be cured
by feeding, twice a day, with stale crusts of
bread soaked in strong ale. Dry housing and
clerudineirs are indispensable.
Fowls sometimes waste away without any
apparent disorder. In such cases a teaspoon
ful of cod-liver oil per day often.will be found
a most efficacious remedy.
Scouring or (Rauh= is caused by the too
abundant use of relaxing food_ Cayenne pep
per, or chalk, or both, mixed with meal or
boiled rice, check the compleint.
Leg weakness is generally; caused by the
size and weight of the body, being more than
the legs can bear. It is shown by the bird
resting on the first joint. Being entirely the
result of weakness, the best treatment is that
which gives general strength and stamina to
the sufferer. Tincture of iron, say five drops
to a saucer of water, must be given.

TEra Usas or Crwicom..—Robbing the
eeth, and washing out the mouth with fine
charcoal powder will render the teeth beauti
ful white, and the breath perfectly sweet,
where an offensive breath has been owing to
a scorbutic disposition of the gums. Putrid
water is immediately deprived of its bad smell
by charcoal. When meat,•fish, &c., from
in
tense heat or long keeping, are *likely to pass
into a state of corruption, a simple and pure
mode of keeping them sound and healthful is,
by putting a few pieces•of charcoal, each the
size of aft egg, into the pot or Nancepan where
in the flesh or fish is to be boiled.
BAKID Roos PIIDDISG.—Take three pints

this, carefully stirring to p;everit its settling.
