Small need have those who love romance,
In battle-fields to court her,
Whore cannons boom,where chargers prance,
The roads to strife are shorter;
Each man who earns his daily bread,
His enemies past number;
Hope's dying feelings, crushed or dead,
His onward march encumber,
Still bravely join life's fiery fray,
And sternly cope with sorrow,;
The man that bears his cross to-day,
Will have a chance to-morrow.
Hopos, fears, desires, in myriads crowd
Our mortal pathway o'er,
The spirit's pure perceptions cloud,
And clog sublime endeavor;
Grief, shame, remorse and fierce despair
Bring legions to confound us—
Such are the dangers we must dare !
Such are the spells around us !
Yet lift thy shield with courage gay,
And hurl thy lance at sorrow ;
The man who steels his face to-day
Can meet the foe, to-morrow.
Steer, pilot, for sonic glorious ond,
Though late in port arriving,
Heaven's grace, like manna, will descend
And sanctify the striving;
Good for thy lifo resolve to do,
And evil shall avoid thee ;
Doubt may have made thy pulse untrue—
Sloth may have misemployed thee—
Crush out these attributes of clay,
Stamp on the neck of sorrow;
The man that perseveres to-day,
Will meet Success to-morrow.
A paper road by Dr. W. M. Cornell
at the last meeting of the Now Eng
land Historic-Genealogical Society, in
Boston, gave the following interesting
anecdotes of Stephen Girard :
Stephen Girard was the solo judge
of his beneficence. If rightly approach
ed, he would give largely; but if dicta
ted to or treated rudely, he would not
give at all. Samuel Coates, ono of the
old Friends, knorrhow to manage Gi
rard, while many who sought aid from
him were unsuccessful. Mr. Coates
was one of the managers of the "Penn
sylvania Hospital," which was then
much in want of funds. He undertook
to get a donation from Mr. Girard, and,
meeting him in the street, stated his
object. Mr. Girard asked him to come
to him next morning.
Mr. Coates called and found Mr. Gi
rard at breakfast. Re asked him_to_take
zi. • I I 15 - 1 -
aea ,did. Atter
breakfast Mr. Coates said, "Well Ste
phen, we will proceed to business."
"Well, what have' you coma for, Sam•
uel ?" said Mr. Girard. "Just what
thee pleases, Stephen," replied Mr.
Coates. Girard drew a check for $2OOO,
which Mr. Coates put in his pocket
without looking at it. "What ! not
look at the check I gave you !" said
Mr. Girard. "No; beggars must not be
choosers, Stephen," said Mr. Coates.
"Hand me back again the cheek I gave
you," demanded Girard. "No, no, Ste
phen ; a bird in the hand is worth two
in the bush," said Mr. Coates. "By
George!" said Girard, "you have caught
me on the right footing." He then
drow a chock for $5OOO, and presented
it to Mr. Coates, observing, "Will you
look at it ?" "Well, to please thee,
Stephen, I will," said Mr. Coates. "Now,
give me back the first check," demand
ed Mr. Girard, which was accordingly
done:
W. R. WOODS,
A TTORNEY AT LAM
WM TINGDON, PA
The Rev. Dr. Stoughton, an eminent
Baptist minister of Philadelphia, did
not understand Mr. Girard so well as
Mr. Coates did. When they wore
about building their mooting-houso iw
Samson street, Dr. Stoughton called on
Mr. Girard for aid., Girard received
him, as he usually did beggars, coolly
but courteously, and gave him a check
for $5OO. Dr. Stoughton received it
with a low boW; but,upon examining it,
expressed his astonishmen t,adding"only
$5OO ! Surely you will not give us less
than $1000." "Let mo see the check,
Mr. Stoughton," said Girard; "perhaps
I have made one mistake." The Dr.
returned him the check. With the ut•
most sang froid Girard tore it into frag-
ments, observing, "Well, Mr. Stougli
ton, if you will not have what I give,
I will give nothing." The Dr. left him,
exceedingly mortified.
Girard had no preference for one Beet
more than for another, and he gave to
build churches merely to improve the
city.
The methodists wished to build a
ohurch in Tenth street, just north of
Chestnut. Thomas Haskins a mer
chant, and a neighbor of Girard, called
on him, and urged his suit for aid in
very modest terms. Girard replied,
"I approve of your object," and presen
ted him a check for $5OO. The Meth
odist society failed, and the house was
bought by the Episcopalians, who wish
ed to alter it into the splendid: Gothio
house now called St. Stephen's Church.
A committee waited upon Mr. Girard,
told him their plan, and asked his aid.
He gave them a check for $5OO. They
were disappointed, and said, "Why,
yen gave the Methodists $5OO for their
little church, 4nd we are going to build
a more splendid edifice, and surely you
will give ussometbing comporting with
the grandeur of our design. Have you
not omitted a cypher ? They returned
him the check, asking him to make it
$5OOO. Girard tore it in pieces, and
added : "I will not; giveyou ono cent.
Your society is rich—the Methodists
are poor. You remind me of the rich
man in the Gospel. Ho would pull
down and build greater. Proilt by his
fate, gentlemen. T havo nothing for
your splendid church.'
Sometimes there aro living be
ings in nature as beantitel as in ro
mance. - 13eality surpasses imagina
tion; and we see breathing, brighten
ing and moving before our eyes eights
dearer to our hearts than any we ever
beheld ip the land of sleep.

—:o:
Anecdotes of Stephen Girard,
-PERSEVERE.-
How to Speak to Children,
It is usual to attempt the manage
ment of children either by corporeal
punishments,, or gyrewards addressed
to the 'senses, and by words alone.
There is one other means of govern
ment, the power and - importance of
which is little regarded; I refer to the
human voice—the soft, gentle; soothing
modulations of the human voice; and
this seems to me to be the most excel
lent way. A. blow may be inflicted on
a child, accompanied with words so ut
tered as to counteract entirely its ef
fect; or the parent may use language
in the correction of a'child, not objea:
tionable in itself, yet spoken in a tone
which more than defeats its influenne.
Let'any one endeavor to recall the im
age of a fond mother long since at rest
in heaven. Her sweet smile and ever
clear countenance are brought'vividly
to redolleetion ; so also is her voice—
the tones of her voice; and blessed is
that parent who is endowed with a
pleasing utterance. A-sweet voice is
a great moral power if it be employed
wisely. What is it which lulls the in
fant to repose? It is not an array of
mere words. There is no charm to the
untaught ono in mere letters, syllableS,
and words. It is the sound striking
the little oar that soothes and compo
ses it to sleep. A few notes, however
unskillfully arranged, if uttered in a
soft tone are found to possess a magic
influence to quiet and prepare for re
pose, Think we that this influence is
confined to the cradle ? No, it is diffu
sed over every age, and ceases not
while the child remains under the pa
rental roof. Is the boy growing rude
in manner and boisterous in speech ?
1 knew of no instrument so sure to
control those tendencies as the gentle
tones of a mother's voice. She who
speaks to her son harshly does but give
to his evil conduct the sanction of her
own example. She pours oil on the al
ready raging flame. In the pressure
of duty we are liable to utter ourselves
harshly to our children. Perhaps a
threat is expressed in a loud and irri
tating tone;, instead of allaying the
passions of the child, it serves directly
to increase them. Every fretful ex
pression awakens in him the same spirit
which produced it. So does a pleasant
voice call up agreeable feelings. What
ever disposition, therefore, we would
encourage' in a child, the same we
should manifest in the tone in which
we address it. Anger, severity of re
m -n-ardeLars.of.alLthineo-L".;
worst. They excite evil - passions, lead'
to resistance, and become the stimu
lants of disobedience and evil conduct.
Speak gently to the child.— Cle. Intelti
gencer.
WHAT IS POLITE SOCIETY ?—Ask a
member of that highly-polished guild
what ho understands by the phrase,
Polito Society, and he will tell you
that it signifies a select association of
ladies and gentlemen by whom the
laws prescribed by courtesy and good
breeding are strictly observed. Ile
will not say that obedience to the po
lite code often involves deliberate trea
son to truth and candor. Yet so it is.
Put the same question to a cynical de
spiser of etiquette, and ho will insist
that Polite Society is neither more nor
less than a congeries of conventional
hypocrites, governed by rules which
forbid the bold utterance of unpleasant
truths and sanction the use of flatter
ing falsehoods. The cynic's opinion,
though samewbat harsh, will bo found,
upon the whole, correct. To be cour
teous, in the true, Christian sense of
the word—for courtesy is a Christian
virtue—it is not necessary to be men
dacious. To revile a person whom we
happen to dislike would be unnecessary
And ungentlemanly; but to flatter and
compliment him is a piece of unmanly
meanness. Polite Society when off
parade, and resolved back into its do
mestic elements, is even more bitter
and acrimonious than the unpolished
vulgar. It indemnifies itself' behind
the scenes for the part it plays in pub
lic, by satirizing, abusing and condemn
ing the very people to whom it has re
cently rendered homage. It is an ar
tificial system, founded on the grand
mistake that it is impossible to bo at
once courteous and sincere. Depend
upon it, there is very little Christian
charity in Polite Society.
A PROUD HAWS BONES.--Of all the
farces which disfigure the human soul,
not one is more foolish than pride. Its
folly was practically illustrated by that
surly old cynic, Diogones, who, while
examining a , heap of bones, was accos
ted by Alexander the Great.
"What are you looking for ?" asked
the proud monarch.
"For the bones of your father, but 1
capnot distinguish them from those of
his slaves," replied the philosopher.
If the cynic was rude he was also
right. In the end the king and the
slaves aro alike. As both come alike
naked into this world, so both leave it
alike naked. Both come and go with
nothing. How foolish then for the
one to lord it over the other during
the brief interval between the cradle
and the grave ; The proudest man on
earth is only dust. Why should he de
spise his follows who aro made of the
same material, and aro inheritors of
the same destiny? Consider this, 0
proud heart, and take lessons in the
school of Christ, who was meek and
lowly in hears.
tter"Persovero, persevere," said an
old lady to her maid; "it's the only
way you can accomplish great things."
One clay eight apple dumplings were
sept down stairs, and they all disap
peared. "Sally, where aro those dump
lings ?" "I managed to got through
them, ma'am," replied Sally. "Why,
how on earth did you manage to get
through so many dumplings?" "I
persevered, ma'am."
Race Between a Fast Horse and a Fas
ting Hog.
Some years ago a race was run at
the Hague, in Ifollarid, which for its
novelty, excited • more than ordinary
interest. It was between a fast trot
ting horse in harness and a full grown
hog—single heat—distance six Eng
lish miles—for a wager of one thous
sand guilders.
,The circumstances which led to this
unique trial of speed wore as'follows
At a sporting club at the Hague, a
young member "expatiated upon the
beauty, symmetry - and ektrabrclinary
speed of' a trotting horse ho had that
day purchased, expressing an eager
desire to get up a match to prove the
superior qualities of his horse. A gen
tleman engaged in a hand of cards, but
whose attention had been attracted by
the ardent and impassioned words of
the speaker,quickly remarked: "Dome
sir, don't be bragging so much about
the swittneSs of your horse. I have a
hog which for a trifling wager, I would
not hesitate to run against him." Peals
of laughter greeted this strange
,pro
posal, to which, when partially subsi
ded, the owner of Grunty quietly in
terposed : gentlemen, I now
challenge to run my hog Nero against
that gentleman's fast trotter in har
nese, one straight heat, six Etiglieh
miles,
for 1,000 guilders a side." "Done
done !" was the eager response from
many voices. 'Provided," the chal
lenger resumed, "that the horse carry
two persons, and that fourteen days'
time bo allowed me for training my
animal."—"Agreed l'agreed I" respon
ded all around; for the joke was deem
ed too good and too novel to give it
the go-by.
Preliminaries being satisfactorily ar
ranged and the stakes deposited, it
was agreed that the match should
come off that day fortnight at eleven
o'.cloelf, a. m., preaisoly; and the beau
tiful avenue leading from the Hague
to the sea shore at Scheveningen was
selected as the course. The news of
this extraordinary match for a trial of
speed between a fast trotting horse
and a full grown porker eproad like
wildfire, and caused the most intense

all eager to. see the fuu. The day was

of Nero began.

him, himself alone attendinß , to the
matter. On the second day Nero was
pretty sharp set when, punctually at
11 o'clock, his master made his appear
ance. A rope was securely fastened
to ono of his hind trotters, and his
master drove him, with many a kick
and forcible persuasion, all the way
over the course to Schevoningen,where
he fed him upon a scanty. meal of two
herrings, which Nero ravenously de
voured; after which ho had to trot it
back to Hague. It may be proper here
to remark that the hog prefers fish to
any other kind of food.
On the third day Nero felt perfectly
ravenous, but he had to abide his time,
and his master had to resort to the
strictest hog discipline to start him off
when, at 11 o'clock, he presented him
self to drive him over the course. After
a liberal and energetic application of
the booted foot, and a little loud and
angry discussion between the two par
ties, they arrived at their . journey's
end, where Nero was regaled with 3
herrings, being' one extra, which ho
dispatched voraciously in ouble-quick
time, looking for more, but in vain.—
He was then, with much coaxing and
kicking, persuaded to resume the re
turn trip homeward, which was safely
accomplished, although not without
considerable opposition, accompanied
by vigorous squealing and determined
grunting on the part of Nero.
On the fourth day, punctually at 11
o'clock, when his master presented
himself', Nero appeared to understand
somewhat the object of his calling ; he
walked off, not only without compul—
sion,.but with considerable alacrity, at
a good round pace, to get to his jour
ney's end, where his master regaled
him, not alone with his coveted dinner
of three herrings, but a reward for his
tractability and good conduct, with
one herring extra, which Nero devour
ed withe incredible velocity as soon
as they came within roach of his grin
ders.
On the fifth day Nero was fully up
to the game, and his master experi 7

ing up with him. ,At Scheveningen
the usual allowance—now, four her
rings—was placed at his disposal, and
disposed of by him in short metre.
On the days following, and up to the
time of the race, his master had no
further difficulty- with Nero than to
keep up with him, Nero invariably
taking the lead, although on the return
trips the same difficulties always re
curred. A vigorous application of
boots was in such oases the only con
vincing argument with Nero, who
never could see the point nor compre
hend the necessity for this back-track
movement, and ever obstreperously
squealed or grunted his objections,
deeming this extra exercise probably
superfluous to his health, as he bad
never shown any signs either of flys.
pepsin, or indigestion. But be that as
it may, Nero had to submit to strict
discipline, his master intending to thus
train him up to fame and renown.
On the ninth day Nero had become
perfectly trained, and having grown
extremely thin upon his scanty meals,

day poor Noro was again starved. At
the usual, hour 'of eleven his master ap
peared, but Nero was doomed to dis
appointment—no trot, no herrings on
that day. With eager eye and impa
tient grunt he signified his desire to be
released from his pen" ; but alas, it was
not to be ; he had to submit to a day of
fasting and prayer—or, at least, pre
pare for the -race.
On the fourteenth day both horse
and hog appeared at the starting-post,
eager for the race. It was a beautiful
day, and the road was lined the entire
distance, on both sides, with ,anxious
and delighted spectators'eager to see
the sport. Punctually at II o'clock,
at tap of drum, off they started, amidst
the shouts and -hurrahs of the multi
tude. The first two miles were close
ly contested—it was emphatically a
neck and neck race; but Nero, as light
as feather, and having in his mind's
eye, probably, the delectable meal,now
fairly flow over the course, leaving the
horse' behind, keeping the lead the en
tire distance. Amidst shouts and'hur
rahs, waving of handkerchiefs, and
the wildest excitement, he reached the
ending post, beating the horse by half
a mile, and winning • the race trium
phantly.
For this extraordinary performance
Nero was rewarded with a pailful of
herrings, and having feasted upon
which to his heart's content, he walk
ed back to the Hague, in the cafe of
his master, "the admired of all admir
ers." His master, pocketing the purse
of one thousand guilders, generously
spent one hundred guilders for Nero's
portrait,`which is now preserved at
the sportman's club at the Hague.
Honor Your Business,
It is a good sign when a man is
proud of his work or his calling. Yet
nothing is more common than to hear
mon finding fault constantly with their
particular business, and deeming
themselves unfortunate because fasten
ed to it by the necessity of gaining a
livelihood. In this mon fret, and la
borously destroy all their - etanfort in
tho work; or they change their busi
ness, and go on miserably, shifting
from one thing to another, till the
grave or the poor-house gives them a
fhst grip. But while occasionally a
man fails in life because he is not in the
place fitted for his peculiar talent, it
happens ton times oftener that failure
results from neglect and even con
tempt of an honest business. A man
- Slatild put his heart into everything
that he does. There is not a profession
that has not its peculiar cares and
vexations No man will escape annoy
ance by changing his business. No
mechanical business is altogether
agreeable. Commerce, in its endless
varieties, is affected, like all other pur
suits, with trials, unwelcome duties,
and spirit-tiring necessities. It•is the
very wantoness of folly for a man to
search out the frets and burdens of his
calling, and give his mineovery day
to a consideration of them. They be
long to human life. They are inevit
able. Brooding over them only gives
them strength. On the other hand, a
man has power given to him to shed
beauty and pleasure on the homeliest
toil, if ho is wise. Let a man adopt
his business and identify it with his
life, and cover it with pleasant asso
ciations; for God has given us imagin
ation, not alone to make some poets,
but to enable all men to beautify home
ly things. Heart varnish will cover
up innumerable evils and defects.—
Lood at the good-things. Accept your
lot as a man does a, piece of rugged
ground, and begin to got out the rocks
and roots, to deepen and mellow the
soil, to enrich and plant it. There is
something in the most forbidding avo
cation around which a man may twine
pleasant fancies, out of which he may
develop an honest pride.
A CHARMING CUSTo3l.—Somebody,
evidently an old bachelor used to such
things, thus describes how they do in
Maine : "Quaker young ladies in the
Maine Law State, it is said, still con
tinuo to kiss the lips of the young tem
perance mon to see if they have been
tampering with liquor. Just imagine
a beautiful young temperance woman,
with all the dignity of an executive of
ficer, and the innocence of a dove,with
the charge, "Mr. the ladies be
lieve you are in the habit of tampering
with liquor, and they have appointed
me to examine you according to our
established rules ; aro you willing ?"
You nod acquiescence. She gently
steps closer to you, lays her white arm
around your neck, dashes back her
raven curls, raises her sylphlike form
upon tip toe, her snowy, heaving bo
som against your own, and with her
angelic features lit up with a smile as
sweet as heaven, place her rich, rosy,
pouty, sugar, molasses, lily, rosebud,

dumpling, ginger bread, nectar lips,
against yours, and (0 Jerusalem, hold

"STAND ABIDE, M SON."—A big
whisky guzzling follow came home
drunk one night and sat down by the
fire to warm his feet, which were "re
gular worm killers." After dozing
some time, he awoke chilly; the em

and seeing his feet, mistook them for
his little boy, when with a majestic
side wave of his hand he said; c'Stand

CURIOUS INSTINCT Or TUB 110 G.-It is
common for-faimers who reside in the
thinly settled tracts of the United
States, to suffer their hogs to ran at

acorns, which aro very abundant in
our extensive forests, and in this situ

of Vermont, perceived at a little dis

his attention was arrested by the agi.

percelied a number of piling pigs in
the centre of -the herd, and that the
hogs were arranged about them in a
conical form, having their heads all

the huge 'boar' at the apex of the clone
presented himself—the hogs dexter,
eusly .arranging themselves on each
side of him, so as to preserve the posi,
tion of defence' just mentioned,, The
attention of the traveler was for a 'Ma ,

view the combatants, he was surprised
to find the herd of swine dispersed, and
the wolf no longer to be seen. On ri,

ONIONS AND Ermzurcs. —The fol
lowing item in reference to the efficacy
of onions in times of epidemics was
contributed by John B. Wolfe to the
Scientific American:
In the spring of 1849 I was in-charge
of one hundred mon on shipboard,
with the cholera among the men. We
had onions, which a number of the
men ate freely. Those who did so
wore soon attacked, and nearly' all.
died. As soon as I made this dist:ova,
ry their use was forbidden. - After ma
ture reflection Loam° to the conclusion
that onions should, never be' eaten dar
ing the prevalence of epidemics, fort
the. reason that they absorb the virus
and communicate the disease, and that
the proper use for them is sliced and
placed in the sick room, and replaced
with fresh ones every few hours.
It is a well-established fact that
onions will extract the poison e 1
snakes;
this I - personally know. Some
kinds of mud will do the same.
After maintaining the foregoing
opinion for eighteen years, I have
found the following facts well .
tested: Onions placed in the room
where there is small-pox will blister,
and decompose with great rapidity k
not only so, but will prevent the
spread of the disease. I think as a
disinfectant they have no equal, when
properly used ; but keep them out of
the stomach.
