BETTER THAN 0010.
ReUer than grandeur, better than (old,
Thaa rank aad title a tbuusand fol ,
Is a healthy body, a mind ateere.
And simple pleasures that always pleas.
A heart that eaa feel for a ntiiKbbor's woe
And share BIS Joys with a gsnlsl glow,
With sympathies large enough to enfold
All men as brothers, la batter than gold,
Better than rold Is a eonselsnoe elear.
Though toiling for bread in an bumble sphere j
lioubly west wllb eooteatand aealtn,
I'nlried by the Inst of ease or wealth.
Lowly living and lofty thought
Adorn and ennoble a poor man's eot
For man and morals, or Natnrs's plan,
Are the genuine test of a geaUsmao.
Batter than gold Is tha sweet repoee
Of the sons of tell when their labors elosa ,
natter taaa gold ta the poor men s sleep.
Aad the balm that drops oa hla slumbers deep,
cring sleeping uraugoia te me anwny oea,
vt here luxury pillows his Booing bead
Ills simpler opiate labor deems ,
A shorter road to the land ol dreams
Better than gold Is a thinking mind
That in the realm of books eaa flad
A treasure surpassing Australiea ore,
And live with tba great and good of yore.
The sage's lore aod the poet's lay.
The glories of empires past away i
The world's great drama will thus enfold
And yield a pleasure better than gold.
Belter then gold is a peacful beiai,
Where all tbe fireside eharilies eoiue t
The shrine of lore end the hearen of life,
Hallowed by mother, or sister, or wife.
However humble tbe home may be,
Or tried by sorrow with Heaven a decree.
Tbe blessings that never were bought or sold,
.and eentre more, are better than gold.

rights as a poople and in all patriotic
movements, must be accorded the hon
or of our flint war song. It was en
titled "Tbe Foderal Constitution, boys,
and Liborty F'orovor." But this song
died with the emergency which bad
cancu it lortn.
"Hail, Columbia." our first truly
national hymn, because of a character.
ith tbe oxception of the two last
verses, to serve our national necessities
for all time, was written early in the
summer ot I7U9 by Joseph Uopkinson,
a young lawyer of Philadelphia.
Tho circumstances which culled forth
this noblo song were briefly these:
Franco, which had been our friend
and ally during our Revolutionary
struggle, had in turn undergone the
worst phases ol revolt and terrorism,
ending in tho ignominious death of
royalty and the elevation to power of
a body styled "The Directory." This
haughty body, forgetting the ties which
bad bound the two nations, presumed
to insult our envoys, demanding that
a largo sum should be puid into the
rrcnen treasury before they would
condescend to seo them.
Tho faco of the American nation
flushed, aa it were, and tho answer
came in that ot Charles Pincknoy, one
oi our envoys, "Millions for dofence,
but not one cent tor tribute
It was at this time that Gilbert Fox.
a young comedian, applied to Hopkin
son to write some words for a popular
luno styieo me "rrosidonts March,
and which had been composed (1789)
in the City of Now York by a Gorman
named r ayies, on tho occasion ol 1 res
icieni n asmngion s nrst visit to a
theatre iu that place.
nut wo will use the author s own
words in describing the birth of this
our first national "hymn." He says
in his account of the origin of "Hail,
Columbia," written for the Wyoming
band, at Wilkesbarre, Pa., at their do-
sire :
"Tho theatre was then open in our
city. A young man belonging to it,
wnoso uiieni was as a singer, was
about to take his benefit. 1 had known
him when ho was at school. On this
acquaintance ho called on mo on Sat
urday allernoon his benefit being an
nounced for the following Monday.
Ho said he had no boxes taken, and
his prospoct was that ho should suiter
a loss instead of receiving a benefit
from the performance, but that if bo
could get a patriotic song adapted to
me tune oi me 'I'rosidents March
(tbon tho popular air) he did not
doubt of a full house ; that tho poets ot
the theatrical corps had boon trying to
accomplish it, but wore satisfied that
no wonls could bo composed to suit
tho music of the march. I told him I
would try for him. He camo tho next
afternoon, and tho song, such as it is,
was rcauy lor mm.
The announcement of a now patriot
ic song filled tlio theatre tooxcess, and
tho burning wonls soiled with electric
force the hearts and imaginations of
mo audience. Agnin and again it was
uemanued, and at last tho whole audi
enco arose and joined in the chorus.
Iho voice of the nation had found
vent 1 Crowds tilled the street at
night, among thorn even members of
Congress (then Bitting in Philadelphia),
nil singing tho new patriotic song ; and
soon there was not a corner in tho
I'nited States in which it was not
heard. A faino which, in spito of nor-
haps more meritorious productions, it
has sinco retainod, and must cvor ro
tain as tho first American national
hymn. F. L. Saruiento.

Historical and archatologieal evidences
prove that the Lako of Geneva has
loworcd several yards since the Roman
era, and somo members of tho French
Academy are disputing over the cause.
M. do i'andolo thought tho full was
due to a diminution in tho volume of
the waters received. M. Dausse thinks
that it is caused by tho bed of tho
eouci line Illume) boing worn down
by tbe running waters. Whonover a

Another Hohin Story. Tho Mil
waukee H'lsoorvna tells a pretty story
about a robin whnso operations were
oversoen in that city a day or two ago.
1 he nttio lellow was busily engaged in
gathering material for tho construc
tion of a nest. In flying around to
"see what ho could sec,'' he discovered
on old nest, fastened to a troo, and in
tertwined in this nest was a long string
hung floating, tho other ('listened in
the nest. Robin seised the siring and

and violently threw Ins head back.
Still it wouldn't come. After a consul
tation with himself he tried a new
Slan. Seizing tho end of tho string
nnly in his mouth, ho tumbled heavi
ly from tho limb, and let his full dead-
eight pull upon tho covotod nrtic o.
This ho tried over and over again, but
to no avail. It would novor do to give
it up so, howovcr, and ho again at
tempted it, this titno commencing at
the foundation, by getting into the nest
and diligent!)' tugging at tho fastened
end of llie string. And he sticcoeded in
loosening it, drew it through, and sped
away to mako nso of It In his new
homo. He was fairly entitled to it.

this brief record of Washington s
rst public honors by all tho colonics,
and of his modest acceptance of tho
duties imposed by them, tell their own
story. W e havo but to remember that
this was 100 years ago, whon Great
Britain was strong, when the colonics
wore feoblo and not wholly united to
maintain independence by war, when
there were loyal, devoted torios, aud
even honest men who gave up life and
fortune, and endured banishment for
tho Bi.,t her country. We are to go
back just 100 years, comprehend tno
risks, the struggles, tho sacrifices of
tho time, and then only, can we lully
appreciato what it meant to take up

Yesterday aftesnoon, Messrs. Riley
and Straight determined to test the
cooked locust qnestion in regard to its
adaptability as food for tho human
stomach, (rotting wind of the affair,
and being always in haste to indulge
iu tree feeding, wo mado bold to intrude

found a bounteous tublo spread, sur

companied by Mrs. Straight and Miss
Maltby. ilhout nun h waste ol cer

and we were helped to soup, which
plainly showed its locust origin and
tasted like' chicken-soup and it was
good ; alter seasoning was added, wo
could distinguish a delicate mushroom
flavor and it was better. 1 hen camo
batter-cakes, through which locusts
wore well mixed. The snup had ban
ished silly prcjudico and sharpened our
appetite for this next lesson, and batter
cakes quickly disappeared also. Baked

Wo believe this is the first attempt
nt putting this insect to its best use,
and tho result is not only highly satis-
luctory to those bravo enough to mako
tho attempt, but should this insect

hail its prrscnro with joy. It will be

The
say:
myself, my country better than my
family, and mankind better than my
country ; for 1 am moro a Frenchman
than a Feiielun, and more a man than
a Frenchman."
Now this sentiment is far more
beautiful in theory than in practice,
anil we should prefer the nuin who
proceeded inversely, and Invested his
first aflcctiiuis in the domestic treasury,
where they would yield a high rate of
interest, and not be in dungurof ship
wrecks or panics. Itoliginn possesses
thousands nf preachers, und politics
and science have their iiinumeralilo
lecturers ; but there itppcurs to bo a
lack of practical beme teachers
apostles of tho Religion of Homo
whose duty it is to teach the beauties
and benefits of homo affections and
homo interests. Men and women are
needed who can awaken the hearts of
their listeners from their ruinous
apathy, make each ono say, iu the
secret chamber of his or her individual
heart " trill commence a now life ;
I icill be a better husband, a hotter
wito, a better parent, or a better child
than I ever yet have boon ; wi'tV en.
deavor so to conduct myself that whon
the links of 1 i to are broken, and I am
forced to bid farewell to those I love
better than any earthly possession, I
shall not feel the pangs of remorse and
the grief of neglect"
Death is tho portion of us all, and
none can oscapo his withering grasp ;
and blessed is ho who can tuko the
clay-cold hand of hor to whom he gave
his heart s affections years ago, and
say, "I novor have been unkind to hor
in word or deed ; I never have wronged
hor in any way, and 1 have always
shared her joys and sorrows." And
happy is she who, in the midst of tho
deejiest grief, and in tho presence of
her Head, can recall no words ot bitter
ness, but remembors that she was ovor
devoted to his wclfnro and happiness,
ever toiled and sought to give him a
pleasant homo when he returned from
the conflicting struggle of a business
life. Such recollections will bo a drop
of sweetness iu the bitterest cup of
bereavement ; for when we awaken to
the consciousness of tho loneliness
w hich death scatters in our paths
when we sit alone In the house of
mourning all tho deeds of the past
are revealed to us as if a magic mirror,
and the soul becomes conscious of in
numerable sins of commission and
omission, and sighs over its own
grievous demorits.
Now, friends, would you spare your
self these bitter reminiscences? Then
resolve to lead a different lif'o to bo
ovor gentle, ever tondor ; for these are
the heuvcnly guests wo need to invito
into our homes and koep with us ; and
wo should invoko thoir presence by all
means in our power, and never drive
them away by sour looks and cross
words. Gentleness and tenderness
havo ever possessed a divine power to
console, comfort, and strengthen tho
weakness of tho human heart They
shall be tho first and tho most constant
of all tho influences exortcd over tho
childish mind ; and if such amenitcs
grow with tho growth and strongthon
with the strength of children, they
will always dwell with them and
brighten their homes. Tho minds of
our children, of our wives, and our
own also, are so many microcosms,
which only need to bo looked into, and
cultivated or dovcloped, to reveal mines
of riches, which can be coined into
current happiness. Bums tells us:
"It's no I. books, It's no In lear
To make us truly blast 1
If happiness baa not her seat
And eentre i. the breast,
Wa may ha wise, or rich, or great,
Dnt never eaa ha blast."
And the man who possesses a pleas
ant home, no matter how humble, iu
which his own industry enables him to
brcatho tho atmosphere of independ
ence, and bis wife's management to
onjoy cleanliness and comfort, he has
a vast scopo for tho creation of happi
ness. Wo aro ever unmindful of tho good
directly within our grasp, and too
ready to cavil at diflicultios, and "make
mountains out of niolo hills." It is a
fixed fact that tho diiferenco between
what zeal and energy will accomplish
with small means, compared with
what power ill-applied orfeobly-applied,
will achievo, is most astounding ; and
tho thousands and thousands who are
unsuccessful in their professions and
Dusincss operations havo oltcn only
themselves to reproach with supineness
or a prodigal waste of time and re
sources, and when thoy review tho
field of their past cxxrienco, they can
but seo how barren they have left tho
portion which might havo yielded a
rich return had they but been faithful
to their work.
Now let us commenco a reform.
Soon tho present shall becomo the
future; so let us resolve that it shall
return a rich harvest, yielding good
seed for the progressive path before us.
Tho searcher allor happiness too often
looks beyond his homo, and finds out
his mistuko too late in life's journey,
when littlo of either time or strength
remains to him. When ho could have
cultivated tho flowers of love, tender,
ness, and good will, ho has sown tho
seeds of hatred, bitterness, and strife ;
where tho violet and tho rose might
havo charmed our senses, tho ncttlo
and nightxhado often offend them.
