“ THE WORLD AS IT IS.
• BY M. w. BECK.
Tfiig world is not ns bad n world
As sorno would lilte to mako it;
Though whether good or whether bad
Depends on how we take it;
For if we scold and fret all day,
From duwy morn till even.
This world will ne’er afford to man
A foretaste hero of Heaven.
This world’s in truth ns good a world
As e’er was known to any
Who have not seen another yet—
And these are very many ;
•And if the men and women too,
Have plenty of employment,
Those surely must be hnrd to please
Who cannot find enjoyment.
This world is quite a clever world,
In rain or plensent weather.
If people Would leurn to live
In harmony together;
Nor seek to burst tho kindly bond
By lovo and peace cemen cd,
And learn tho best oflcssons yet,
To ulways bo cobiented.
Then were the world a plensnnt world,
And ploasunl folks were in it,
Tho duy would pass most pleasantly
To those who thus begin it;
And nil the numoless grievances,
Brought on by borrowed uoubles,
: Would prove, as certainly they are,
A mass ol empty bubbles.

THREE CIIEBBY-STONEB.
When 1 was a schoolboy, more than
thirty years ago, I remember to have read
n story which may have been a fiction,
but which was very naturully told, and
mado n deep impression upon me then.—
I will endeavor 10 draw it forth from the
locltor of mv memery, and relato it as
nearly as 1 can recollect. ~
Threo young gentlemen, who had fin
ished the most substantial part of their re
past, were lingering over their fruit an

of middlh ago and middle stature entered

PAPER ; DEVOTED TO LITERATURE. AORICOtTUERMOBMOT. AND FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.
Volume 4,
The next morning a note arrived at tho
aggressor’s residence, containing a chal
lenge, in form, and one of the cherry
stones. Tho truth then Hashed before the
challenged party—it was the"challenger’s
intention to make three bites at this cherry
——threo sepernto affairs out of this unwar
rantable frolic! The challenge was ac
cepted, and ihe challenged party, in defer
ence to the chullenger'B reputed skill with
the pistol, had half decided with the small
swords ; but his friends who were on tho
alert, soon discovered that the captain,
who had risen by bis merit, had, in the
earlier days of his necessity, gained his
as on accomplished instructor in
1 the use of that weapon.
They met, nnd fired alternately, by lot
iho young man had solected this mode,
t thinking that he might win the first fire—
; he did—fired, und missed his opponent.—
(The captuin levelled his pistol and •> ro “7 _
1 the ball passed through the (lap of the
right ear, and grazed tho bone; and, as
tho wounded man involuntarily put hts
hund to the place, ho remembered that it
was on the right ear of his antagonist that
the cherry-stone had fallen. Here ende
tho first lesson. A month had passed.—
His friends cherished tho hope that no
would hear nothing more from the captain,
when unother note —a challenge, of course
—and another of these cursed cherry
stones arrived, with the captain s apology,
on tho score of ill -health, for not sending
it before. , . ,
Again they met—fired simultaneously,
and the captain, who was unhurt, shatter
ed tho right elbow of his antagonist—the
very point upon which lie had been struck
by the cherry-stone ; and here ended tho
second lesson. There was something aw
fully impressive in the modus
and exquisite skill of his antagonist. Iho

—another—another— and another, of ter

from the captain. Intelligence had been
received thnl he was confined to hts lodg
ings by illness. , , , , „„„
At length the gentleman who had been
his second in tho former duels once more
presented himseir, and tendered another
note, which, as the recipient perceived on
taking it, contained the Inst of the cherry
stones. The note was superscribed in the
captain’s well known hund, but it
writing evidently of one whq wrote feebly.
There wnsnn unusual solmnity, also, in
the mnnnner of him who delivered it.
The seal was broken, and there was the
cherry-stone in n blank envelope.

STORY OP AN INTREPID CHAMBERMAID.
“Galignani’p Messenger” telle the fol
lowing curious story. Annette, a young
chanibertpaid of Marne, had kept the room
of two wealthy bachelors for several years.
She wanted to get married, but her lover
was so poor that they durst not venture. —
These bachelors were brothers, and one
day they had sold some property which
they owned jointly, and the money, am
ounting to 106,000 f., was all in bills of the
Bank of Franco, too late to tako it to Par
is that afternoon.
At midnight a great noise was hoard in
the house. Annette ran and rapped at her
muster’s door, saying that robbers were at
work below.
“You have a gun,” says she, “take it
and shoot tho villains.”
Both the bachelors wore much frighten
ed. One began to barricade the door,
while the other removed a tilo from the
hearth in order to secrete the bank bills.
| “Fools,” said the girl, “they will mur
der us all —give mo the gun!”
j She seined a double barreled gun which
laid upon a shelf, and started down stairß,
the two frightened men watching her
movements without saying a word. Pres
ently, bang went the gun and a groan was
hoard—bang went tho second barrel, and
now a screech of pain resounded through
the house. . ,
Annotte soon came tripping up the stairs
and asked for powder and ball'to re-load.
The astonished bachelors gave her the re
quisite charges, but soon steps were heard
retreating from the house. All three went
cautiously down the stairs, when 10. a
pool of blood clearly showed that one rob
ber at least had paid the penally or his
rash attempt. In the morning it was plain
to see that the body of the victim had been
dragged to the river. Blood marked the
whole distance, and the polico wereinstant
y on tho alert for the arrest of the living
thieves, and the recovery of tho body ol
ilie deud one. All was vain however;
but the intrepity of tho poor girl was dis

wanted lo marry, prepared to give her a

YOUNG LADIEB AND YOUNG GENTLEMAN.
A young lady, over the signature of‘Koto’
sends the following spirited articlo to the
New Orleans True Delta. We think she
gives fashionable young men a well meri-
Ted rebuke. Her remark, '‘lt will never
do to commence the work of reform entire
ly on ono side,” is worthy of consideration.
She entitles her piece, “How to Educate
Young America.”
I road in a paper, sho soys, the other
day, that some new ornamental branches
in young ladieseducation were coming out
soon“ecology, S/>i«-ology,ond Weave
ology.” All honor to the projector ot so
happy an improvement; hut, allow me to
ask, when our youcg Misses become such
pattern housewives, in what “circles will
they look lor suitablo companions 1 Not
in upper-tendom could they bo found.
Just fancy one of the bo-wiskored, be-scen
ted, moustachicd exquisites, in companion
ship with one of Solomon’s maidens, who
layoth hor hand to the spindle, or plying
iho flying shuttle, or compounded rare
cookery. What nflinity would there be
between them? The same that exists be
tween a butterfly and a honoy-bee —one all
glare and glitter, and frisking movements,
tho other all patient industry and sobriety.
I cannot think of a more useless article,
or or.o more out of place, in a room where
work is progressing, than n fashionable
young man. He knows so little about mat
ters and things, I feel in pain till hots safe
ly lodged in the parlor, among other things
“more for ornament than use, annuals
and bijouterie.
it will never do to commence the wortt
of reform entirely on one side. I propose
three branches more to be added to the list
of studies for finishing young gentlemen
fashionably: Sate-ology, Chop -ology and
Split* ology, and that, in addition to the
requisite number of“sheets, towels, spoons
ond napkin rings,” each promising pupil
bo furnished with a new wood-saw and
axe, well sharpened, ond daily exercise
with them bo practisedo. It will superse o
the necessity for gymnasiums.
In our onward march to perfection, and
in taking up the accomplishments of our
grand-mothers, we earnestly beg that some
provision bo made against being cut o
from the “best society," ond such would
bo the result, unless the lords of creation
are willing to keep pace with us. >elr
lilly hands would scarcely, with present
views, bo willingly united with those w ic i
bear marks of labor, and what a drea u
state of affairs would occur in upper snoo
dom, if one of the first families were to
marry beneath its dignity.
Hasten then, tho glorious era, w cn
walking-sticks shall be converted into hoe
handles, crotchet-hooks into •‘nilting-nce
dies, and quizzing-glasses and flirtations
be known no more.
Scratches.—A correspondent of tho
••Newspaper” asks for a cure Tor the
..scratches” in horses. Let us first look
for the cause, then for the cure. Twenty
years experience and observation has
shown me that it is almost ns difficult to
cause some horses to have the scratches,
ns it is to keep them off others. A horse
with black legs and black hoofs will ael
dom be troubled with this complaint, how
ever careless his owner may be; while H
is almost impossible to prevent one with
white stockings and a white skin under
the stockings, from having the scratches
so bad that he is nearly useless during
the wet months of fall and spring. 9
this complaint seldom or never shows it
self in summer, 1 think it must bo brought
on by want of proper care of a horses
feet in wet and cold weather, by allowing
him to stand in the stall with wet feet, al
ter hard drivinir, and doing nothing to pre
vent a chill. When a horse comes in from
a drive in the cold mud and storm, his legs
and feet should be well rubbed with hay
or straw, to produce a quick circulation ,
rub dry if you choose, and you will set
dom JL the scratches. This preventive
is also a cure. Keep the feet and legs as
dry as you can. I once had a white-leg
ged, white-hoofed nog which * doct
all the fall for the scratches to but little
purpose, and when my patienco was ex
hausted, and the prescriptions of the know
ing ones failed to cure, 1 put her on the
barn-floor, and kept her Crashing wheat
and oats until she recovered, and her legs
came out smooth. In this caBe lt, ® e * e /'
ciso took down tho swelling, and «h° 'fic
tion of the straw cleaned the skin more
effectually than l could do it in any other
way. One word more —ovo.d a horse

THEOLOGY AND EDUCATION.—A FABLE.
One winter’s night, n poor boy, worn out
with cold nnd hungor, lay senseless before
n rich mnu’s door; nnd the rich man see
ing him, was moved with pity, and carri
ed him into the house. In a little while
the wnrmlh of the firo which was blazing
in the room where the hoy wus (aid, resto
red him to life, and, feebly opening his
eyes, and rnisjng his head from tiro-ground
in a faint, low veice he cried,
“I have hud nothing to cat these two
days; give mo food, or I shall die.
Bread and meat and wine were placed
boforo him; but as he stretched forth his
hand towards the food, the rich man remo
ved it from his reach, saying,
“Stop, stop I before you eat you must
say grace.”
And he repontod a form of grace, wlucn
ho ordered the boy to say after him. But
another man who was present, and who
was a dissenter interrupted him nnd cried,
“Your words ore wicked, the boy shall
not utter them; this is the grace which he
shall pronounce.”
And then he gavo another form of grace
which he would have spoken. And when
he had finished talking, n third mnn, a
Catholic, more vehemently than the other
two exclaimed,
“Both of you nre wrong; I cannot sul-
I'er like boy to sin by doing ns either of you
would urge. This is what he ought to say.
And he repeated inn loud voice, a third
form of grace. And then all threo spoko
together, each one insisting that ho alono
was right. And they became angry, and
abused one another, and the altercation
continued for more that an hour, for they
could come to no agreement. And as they
were still debating nnd quarrelling they
heard a groan. Then suddenly thoy stop
ped talking, nnd turned towards the boy
nnd found that ho was deud. — Diogenes.
Labor nnd Money Power.

sneaks of the achievements of labor. He
usks “who can adequately describe the tn
umphsof lubor ; urged on by the potent
spell of money. It has extorted the eo -
crets of the universe, and trained its pow
ers in the myriads of forms of use and
beauty. From the bosom of the cold ere
ation, it has developed anew the crea'ion
of industiy and art. It has been its ta
and its glory to covereome obstacles.
Mountains have been levelled and valleys
have exalted before it. It has broken the
rockv soil into fertile glades; it has crown
ed the hill-tops with fruit and verdure,
nnd bound around the very feot of ocean,
ridges of golden corn. Up from the sun ess
and hoary deeps, up from the shapeless
quarry, it drugs its spotless marbles, and
rears its palaces of pomp. It tears he
stubborn metals from the bowels of the
globe, and makes them ductile.to its will.
It marches steadily on over the swelling
flood, and through the mountains clelts.
It fans its wny through the winds of oceans
tramples them in its course, surges and

grander victories, it waves more durable
trophies, it holds wider sway than the con
querer. His name becomes tainted and
his monuments significant of better thing*.
It rides in a chariot driven by the wind.

stcoly hammer, it glories in the shapes ol
beauty, it speaks in words of pcivver, it
makes the sinewy arm strong with liberty,
the poor man’s heart rich with content,
crowns the swarthy and awcuty brow with
honor, and dignity, and pence.

Fohhnsic Eloquence.—' The following
is an extract from n recent address of a
barrister “out west” to a jury : “The law
expressly declares, gentlemen, in the
beautiful language of Shakespeare, that
where a doubi exist of the guilt of the
prisoner, it is your duty to fetch him
innocent. Ifyou keep this fact in view in
the case of my client, gentlemen, youi wiU
have tho honor of making a fnond or him
and nil his relations, and you can tillers
look upon this occasion and reflect, witn
pleasure, that you have done ns you would
bo done by. But if, on the other hand;
you disregard tho principle of law, and set
at naught my eloquent remarks, and letcti
him in guilty, the silent twitches of con
science will follow you over every fair
corn-field, I reckon, and my injured and
downtrodden client wilt bo apt to light on

Books, Jobs and Blanks,
the stbasbueg clock.
The priest and military hove retired,
and I am now sitting in a chair lacing
tha gigantic clock \ front Ike bottom to the
top not less than ono hundred feet, and
many strangers are waiting to see' the
working of this clock when it strikes the
hour of noon. Every eyo is upon the
clock. It now wants five minutes to
twelve.
The clock has struck, end the people
are gone, except a few whom the sexton,
or heud man, with a wand and a word, is
conducting round tho building. .The
clock is struck in this way: tho dial is
some twenty feet from the floor, on each
side of which is a chorub or a little boy
with a ninllet, and over tho dial is a small
bell. The cherub on the left strikes the
first quarter, and tho ono on tho right the
second quarter. Some fifty feet above
the dial in a niche, is a hugh figure ol
Time, a bell in his left, a scythe in hi*
right hand. In front stands tho figure of
a young man with a mullet, who strikes
the third quarter on the bell in tho hand
of Timo, add then glides with a slow step
round behind Time; out comes an old
man, raises his mallet, and places himselt
in front or him. As the hour of .twelve
comes, the old man raises his mallet, and
deliberately strikes twelve times on the
bell, that echoes through the building, and
is heard round the region of tho church.
Then tho old man glides Blowly behind
Father Time, und the young man cornea
round again. Soon as tho old man has
struck twelve and disappeared, anothes
set of machinery is put in motion, some
twenty feet higher still. It is thus: there
is a high cross wills an image of Christ on
it. The instant twelve has struck, one of
the apostles walks out from behind, como9
out in front, facing the cross, and walks
round to his place. As ho does so, another
comes out in front, turns, bows, and pas
ses in ; so twelve npostles, figures as large
as life, walk round, bow, and pass on. All
the last appears, an enormous cock, perch
ed on tho pinnucie ot the clock, slowly
flups his wings three times, so loud ae to
be heurd outside the church to some di*’
tanco, aud so naturully as to be mistakpn
for the real cock. Then all is silent .a*
death. No wonder this clock > s . ,h f
miration of Europe. It was made in IoUU,
and has performed thoso m ’chonical.won?
ders ever since, except about fifty year*,
when it was out of repair.
