Mother, when thy darling boy
Laughed with artless baby' glee,
Thast thou neon his dimpled hands
Grasp a serpent playftilly;
None were needed then' to 'rouse.
Terrors of the dreadful toy'
None to whisper in thine ear,'
Mother, Mother, save thy boy!'
When his little feet Could walk,
lindst thou seen him near the brink
Of some frightful precipice,
Thou'dstnot waited then to think
Whether there were danger there,
Ere thou clasped with trembling joy
Thy darling, ere a. VOICC could sm. -
' Mother, Mother, save thy bog!
But thinkest thou that be is safe
With manhood dawning on his brow,
Withstrongright arm, andbraa•cyoungheart
Dost think there is no danger now?
0, sharper fangs than serpent's may
Ere long thy darling's soul destroy;
A precipice beneath him yawns—
Mother, Mother, save thy boy !
Fallen woman's eyes for him
More 'luring than a serpent's shine,
To save him from the deadly bane
No power like love, no love like thine;
Teach him to love the pure and true,
To fear the pleasures that destroy,
For woman must from woman MVO—

PHILIPS' FIRST "BABY.
Mrs. Philips was on the very pinnacle
of facility. She was 'the mother of a boy
which weighed eleVen pounds.
He, Philips, bid fair to - lase his mind
entirely. He danced and sang, and fired
guns from the top of the torn house,
whistled Yankee Doodle while eating his
breakfast:and wrang the heads off all the

This worthy . couple had been married
ten years, and this was their first child.
People had laughed at them ten years on
account of their luck; people who were
overrun with children, and whose lives
were made miserable by the seoldings and
spanking they found necessary to inflict
upon the wretched little olive plants.
Now, Mrs. Philips said, she guessed
they'd tough out, the other side. There
had never -been so large a baby born in
Smithfield before. Mrs. Jones' only
weighed nine pounds and had a pug-nose.
Mrs. Swayer's was red haired, and had a
mole on his right foot—a sure sign that
t would come to a bad end—and it only .
weighed seven pounds fourteen ounces!
She guessed folks had better look at home
before they laughed.

a temper like a wind-mill, and seemed de
termined to develbp his feet and lungs to
the utmost while he had leisure, for he
screamed and kicked twenty-three out of
twenty-four hours.
But his mother declared that, be was
alp angel. We never come to imagine an
angel with puffy red cheeks, heels elevat
ed in the air, sucking a sugar teat, and
being bounced about in a pillow cradle to
the tune of: "High diddle dee !" but
then our imagination is not by any means
so vivid as it might be.
From . the hour from which he was born,
he was the autocrat of the household;
everything had to bow at his nod.
The scullery door creaked; it was taken
off the hinges, and the servant was in the
draft all the time, because she might dis
turb the baby. For the same reason the
coffee mill was 'removed into the wood
shed, the dishes must be washed out of
doors--the clatter of the plates made the
baby scream; the washing was done in
the barn ; all the clocks in the hotise were
stopped; the dog was muzzled, and the
cat was choked—all-from the fear of dis
turbing the baby.
Mr. Philips paid a blacksmith, who was
located, within a quarter of a mile, one
hundred dollars to move his shop, and .
Biddy was moved• to the coek loft of the
woodshed 'on account -of snoring. The
diseases were legion. It was a
wonder that it could draw its bteath with
so many terrible ailments clinging to it.
Mrs. Philips was continually on the watch
for sonic new demonstration.
"Charles!' cried she, waking her hus
band from slumber one cold winter night,
`•it seems to um the baby don't breathe
just right." •
11.1 r. Philips sprang up and listened ;
"Good gracious, he's got the snuflie.4,
ain't be ?"
"Oh, dear, what shall we do if the baby
is going to be sick ?"
Mr. Philips got a light, and the anxious
parents brought it to bear on the face of
the child.
"Ohu; heavens !" cried his mother, "his
face is acttuilly purple! he's going. to
have the scarlet fever. See that red spbt
on his elbow."
"It may be where he's laid on it," re
marked Mr. Philips.
"Laid on it, eh ! you unfeeling Man,
you unnatural • father! And there, it's
sucking its thumb; I've known from first
it wouldn't live; it sucked its thumb so
much."
"Seems to me that I've heard my moth
er say that it was a' sign of a healthy
child to suck its thumb, but I won't be
certain. Auy way, it is a good sign or a
bad one, I forgot which."
"Run, Charles, run for Cie doctor ! It's
going to die—l know it is ! Oh, don't
stop to dress—don't ! It may die while
you are waiting. Call Granny Bates, and
tell her to bring some catnip, and saffron,
and peppermint—tell her to bring all the
herbs she's got ! and do hurry, Charles,
do ! Mercy on us ! it's sucking both
thumbs ! Run—run !"• •
Philips caught up the first articles
of clothing he could lay his !lauds on,

which - proved to be his wife's embroider
ed- petticoat, but he was in too much
haste and altogether tou much excited to
dress particularly. He flung the garment
over his head, and tied it around his
waist—slipped on his shoes and plunged
into the keen air. The Doctor was asleep,
and did not care about turinsx out, but on
being told. that it was a case of life or
death, he yielded at once.
Mr. Philips left bins dressing, and sped
to the residence of Granny Bates. The
old lady was wise, .but she was very
superstitious ; and believed in warnings
and apparitions. Philips gave a thunder-.
ing rap at the door, and directly a night
capped head appeared at the upper-win
dow.
" What do ymi want at this time of
night, and who be ye?" said' a cracked
CM
Philips stepped out and stood plainly
revealed by the light of a dim moon.
"Good gracious, massy !" cried the old
woman, " it's go a scalloped petticoat on.--:-
taud ! I didn't think they wasted their
time on such vanities as they are'."
" It's dying !" exclaimed Philips—
'iconic down quick."
"Not I! I ain't so green as to trust my
old body to a supernatural ghost !" and
down went the window with a bang.
Philips pounded at the .dOor until _he was
tired, and then•made tracks for home.
Dr. Gray had just arrived. Mrs. Philips
was preparing to go into hysterics as soon
as she heard his opinion.
Baby was much worse; it not only
sucked its thumbs, but wiggled his toes.
It could not continue long. The doctor,
with a grave face, entered the sick room.
Biddy rubbed her Mistress with camphor.
Mr.. Philips stood by, wiping his eyes with
the drapery of the scant attire.
"Oh, doctor! doctor! will it die? Only
save it, doctor, and you may take all I
have !" cried Mrs. Philips, wringing her
hands. " I'll get down on my knees to
you and thank you forever !" -
" Keep your sitting, mann, keep your
sitting," said the doctor, taking a large
pinch of snuff.
"Don't keep we in suspense! Only see
its precious little arm ! What is it ? -For
the love of heaven .tell me—let me know
the worst !"
" Well, warm, if I speak out, you
promise not to blaMe me •?" asked thz

ladle from the table, where Biddy had
laid it full of hot pepper tea, ishe flung it
at hint. The doctor knew enough about
women to realize that in flight lay safety,
and with a hasty bow he backed off the
step and started for his gig. The ground
was inclined and quite icy. His heels
flew up, his head went down, and his
whole body spun down the hill like a steel
shod cutter. Mrs. Philips, nothing daunt
ed, rushed after him and shared the same
fate. The two brought up together at the
foot of the hill, in a water trough, but no
words of sympathy were exchanged. The
doctor got up as quick as Ile could, and
galloped home, and Mrs. P. followed his
example.
The baby lived and throve. As it grew
older its dictatorship became more and
more absolute. Philips was down on all
fours for the greater part of his time that
•the baby might ride ,on his back ; and
Mrs. Philips went without crinoline, and
left her arms bare the coldest weather be

" The Family Bible.
The following lines, which have been for some
years great favorites with the public, were origin
ally published in a Charleston (S. C.) paper.—
The author was - an English gentleman of the
finest talents, who had been In a veryheavy mer
cantile business with his father and brothers in
Liverpool, and frequently had occasion to visit
this country. The most romantic vicissitudes
overtook him and' his nearest relatives, such as
the most vivid fancy could scarcely conceive. 'A
free life, in part the cause of his own immediate
reverses, so mneh impaired his health as to com
pel his departure to a Southern climate, where
happily, though late in life, the effects of early
religious impressions, and the remembrance of
the precepts of his long lost father, produced a'
radical change in his heart, and gave a new im
pulse to the muse which years before had often
delighted and astonished the lovers of song.
The beautiful pathos of the following effusion
will be doubly relished after a knowledge of the
foregoing circumstances. We here present 'the
Poem, lu its entire form, and not abtlelgvd as' It
has frequently appeared:
How painfully pleasing the fond recollection
Of youthful connexions and innocent joy,
When blessed with parental advice and affection
Surrounded with mercies—with peace from On

Fourth of July at the Now Ledger
Building, Philadelphia—Banquet
to the Employees, Newsboys, ace.
The celebration at the New Ledger
Building was one of.the great features of
the day. From pine A. M. until six P.
M., the building was throwti open to the
inspection of the public, and throughout
the day thousands of people took advan
tage of the opportunity to examine the
establishment. Hassler's full Military
Bautl, was in attendance, and enlivened
the occasion with excellent music.
At one o'clock the great event of the
day, so far as that locality was concerned,
took place. 'Mr. Childs had extended in
vitations to allhis employees to meet him
at dinner. This invitation included men
in every department of the Ledger—
the editors, reporters, compositers, clerks,
pressmen, feeders, agents, carriers, fold
ers, &c. Provision was also made for the
newsboys. The banquet - was spread in
the capacious press-room, which, being
still free from machinery, presented su
perior facilities for the accommodation of
the large number of persons who respond
ed to the invitation. The press-room was
handsomely decorated with the national
colors. Five tables, extending the full
length of the room, were spread for the
employees, and about 500 persons were
seated. The newsboys were accommo
dated in the gallery, where 110 lads of
all ages and sizes were accotiodated.—
This was, perhaps, the most interesting
feature of the entertainment. The boys
were in capital goad humor at the pros
pect ofosuch a feastas was set before them,
and while . at the table they gave express
ion to their satisfaction by repeated cheers
for Mr. Childs. They soon disposed of
the good things prepared for them, and
then escaped to the open air,_ long before
the gentlemen in the main room had fair
ly commenced their portion of the enter
tainment. Hassier's I3and was in the
press-room during the banquet, and added
much to the success of the occasion by
the music. About two hours were con
sumed by the guests in discussing the bill
of fare, after which the company was
called to order by Mr. William V. 11.tc
lieali, who, in the unavoidable absence of
Mr. Childs, presided. Mr. McKean, in
opening the way for addresses, said :
Gentlemen of the Ledger establishment
and invited guests :—Mr. Childs promised
himself the pleasure of dining with you
all to-day, but, as it sometimes will hap
pen with all men, he has been doomed to
disappointment, and I .am requested to
express to you lus deep regret that it has
so happened. It would have been one of
his highest pleasUres to have been here
to-day and to have• seen - you all enjoying
yourselves to your hearts' content. It is
a part of his nature to delight in making
people cchnfOrtable and happi. 7 —and that
is a great merit in every man, but with

faction with the Manner in which' the
more than 300 employees of the Ledgcr
co-operate with him and with all connect
ed with the direction of the establishment
in furthering the great objects of_ the
Ledger. I say this to the compositors
and pressmen. editors, clerks and proof
readers, carriers, stereotypers, carpenteri,
mechanics, feeders, folders, engravers,
watchmen, janitors, office .loys and. all.
To all these I am commissioned to express
his thanks and satisfaction.
And now, gentlemen, I have done, and
will introduce to. you. as one worthy of
speaking for -the masses—a man widely
known as an' esteemed mechanic—a. man
eminenfain one of the noblest of our bene—
volent organizations, and whose hand is in
almost every good work for his fellow-men,
Mr. James B. Nicholson. He will speak
for that great outside public who have so
much to do with the prosperity of the
Ledger, and whom we place first on this
occasion, although it is specially the fes
tival of the err ployees of the establish
ment. ,
Mr. Nicholson came forward and mount
ing a chair spoke as follows :
• Gentlemen : This is a peculiar and
proud moment. The career of.the Public
Ledger is something that is more or less
intimately connected with the prosperity
of Philadelphia, and especially with the
welfare of the workingmen. if We'speak
of the workingman in the narrow, lower
sense which popular definition assigns, we
find that the Ledger has been an instru
ment of good in the community. I re
member well when the Ledger's career
commenced and the suspicion with which,
at that time, it was regarded. Its low
price and easy modes of payment, and the
ostensible objects of its establishment, led
many to fear that it would be an instru
ment of evil in catering to the, passions,
and playing upon - the prejudices of the
least educated portion of the community.
Nobly, right nobly have those fears been
dispelled; the Ledger in its instincts has
been true to a higher, nobler humanity—
it has rightly represented the working
men. How well do I remember when, in
hours of passion, mob law was scattering
destruction and death through the com
munity, when good men were appalled,
and'everi brave men grew timid, that the
Ledger stood out manfully and asserted
the supremacy of the law [applause]; it
stood in ' open, direct antagonism to the
mob. Let the 'objects, either pretended
or assigned, be what they might have
been, the Ledger-proved its .fealty to the
cause of the - people: by_maintaining the
indestructible and. sacred. claims of "jus
tice for all." [Applauie.] • .
Passing from that to the higher, nobler
definition of the workingman—that all are
g
workers who toil either„with - the brain•or
!r-ziiii,li:4l:ii-ltltitil`dtlieig•fee4i ! as•-•••• ri;•tt,_• a
Sphere higher Clainis' to - p li !Ale regard iii'd'
consideration: The =: . editorial ' columns,
ridiculed' as they wereitrst, have -con
tained within themselves brief but com
prehensive essays upon philosophical,
moral, literary and °diet' beneficial sub
jects, and the paper has ever been charac
terized by a wide, liberal, elevated and
ennobling spirit. ' It has breathdd ever
the breath of a common, world-wide
humanity. And is it not well that the
press, the' mightiest power of modern
times, should stand and does stand as the
emblem of the workingman ? Through
all its ramifications, from the thiobbing
brain of the editor to the daily rounds of
the carrier, it gives evidence of .unceas
ing, well-directed labor. Nay, in the
power of the press we behold exemplified
more' strikingly than in any other phase,
of labor, the so-often extolled illustration
of capital and labor going hand in hand,
and working beneficently together.
- This magnificent temple, dedicated to
the good of the people and their advance
ment, has been justly spoken Of; the pro
visions which have been made for the
comfort and health of all connected with
the establishment have been properly ad
verted to : and should receive fitting
acknowledgment from the workingmen of
Philadelphia. [Applause.] And while
I, for my part, would echo and re-echo
every word of praise that has been utter
ed or that may be uttered in relation to
the projectors of this building, I feel that
they are worthy of higher eulogy than
even that. I have watched the career of
the Ledger from its commencement; I
have particularly noted its management
since the proprietorship - was assumed by
George IV. Childs, [long, continued cheer
lug.] and as a citizen of Philadelphia, as
a workingman, as a believer in the per
petuity of American-institutions, I find in
the conduct of the journal itself, in the
columns of .the Ledger, something that
impels me to speakmore highly of George
W. Childs and those associated with him
than I could do solely on account of this
magnificent edifice which has been added to
the ornaments of Philadelphia [applause.]
That something I find in the purity of the
editorials of that journal; I find it in the
total exclusion of all advertisements of an
immoral character from the columns of the
Public _Ledger. [Applause and cheers.]
Tor this, if for nothinn• ' else, as one of the
people, I give to the Public Ledger my
unfeigned admiration and respect; be.
cause public welfare, individual happiness
and the perpetuation of American insti
tutions depend upon public intelligence
and private virtue.
Without further occupying your time,
gentlemen, permit me to say, if I am call
ed upon and permitted to speak as a re
presentative man of the people, that in be
half of the people, in behalf of humanity,
in behalf' of the citizens of our glorious
Republic, say of Mr. George W. Childs
and his associates: Behold the men
whom we delight to honor. •

The inhabitants of the city of Belgrade,
iu Salvia, were lately aroused and amused
by the sight of a most unusal procession
passing through the streets, towards the
Fortress. It consisted of a body of citi
zens, wearing beards that reached their
knees, attended by a company of barbers,
razor in hand. It transpired that these
long beards made a vow, when the fortress
of 13elgrade . was taken by the Turks, in
1862, that a razor should never touch
their faces until they could be shaved in
the captured fortress itself. On the day
of its evacuation by the - Turkish troops
they were enabled to fulfill their vow.

Mints About Growing Tomatoes.
Too great a quantity , of tomatoes can
not be grown, or consumed,,in any com
munity, as there is no more healthful or
economical vegetable. produced. As an
article of diet for winter consumption, it
ranks in importance, in nearly every fam
ily,,with the apple and potato; and its
cheapness places it within the reach of
the Masses. An old and experienced
grower of this vegetable gives the follow-
inn hints as to its cultivation, which are
just in .season, as the young vines will
soon require whatever training is to be
given them : "One would suppose that at
this late day we knew pretty much - all
about cultivating the tomato; but it seems
that we do not, inasmuoh as we daily see
recommendations as to the best mode of
_getting the most fruit. Some people trail
the vines over elaborate trestle works of
frames, at no little expense; others trel••
lis them; others stick them with brush
about the size or a little larger then that
.used for peas; others simply throw brush
down for them to run over; others, allow
the vines to creep over the ground with
out any support, only previously mulch
ing the ground with grass .or straw.. We
have tried every mode here mentioned,
and we have found that whether the
plants are stuck, brushed or allowed to
run unsupported over the groumd, the
yield is about the same. Frames and
trellises are not so productive. We pre
fer the sticking process. It produces full
as great a crop as any ot-hioiol--x*,
if the brush is firmly inserted in the
ground it admits of passing between rows
to pick the fruit. When the vines are
allowed to run over the ground unsup
ported, however much the ground may be
mulched, the flavor of the tomato is more
or less extracted by the• natural attraction
of the soil, by which the fruit is render
ed almost worthless.; 'besides the vines
are all ,in a mass, and to get at the fruit
is inconvenient to the picker and ;inju
rious to the crop." - •
ICE -CREAM.—To a pound of any pre
served fruit add a quart of good cream,
squeeze the juice 'of two lemons into it
and some sugar tolaste. Let the whole
be.rubbed through.a fine hair sieve, and
if raspberry, strawberry, or any red fruit,
the cream into it :and-cover it, then put
it into the tub with ice beat small, and.
some salt; turn thefreezing can quickly,
and as the cream sticks to the, side's Serape
it down with an ice spoon, and so till it
is frozen. The more the cream is work"-
ed to the side with the spoon, the smooth
er and better flavored it will be. After it
is well frozen take it out and put it into
ice-moulds with salt and ice; then care
fully wash the moulds, for fear of any
salt adhering to them ; dip them in luke
warm water and send them to table.

"Daisy," and of whose milk producing
qualities be speaks as follows :—On Fri
day last she gave 63 pounds of milk at the
milkings—morning, noon and evening.
On Saturday she gave 60' pounds, and on
Sunday 65l pounds, and on Monday 57.1
pounds—making 246 pounds in four days.
This week we design trying her as abut
