NELLY'S GRAVE.
Near a clear and laughing brooklet,
Down in the flowery dell,
Where the birds are gaily singing
And rosea love to dwell.
V here the tall and blanching willows
riieir weeping leaflets wave,
In a sweet, secluded corner,
Is darling Nelly's grave.
Rich clustering vines are twining,
Around her lowly tomb,
And in Spring the brightest flowers,
Mingle their sweet perfume.
While the sighing zephyrs murmur
A low and plaintive sound,
I lie happy angels are guarding
Her little grassy mound.
W en ev -niiig shades ar gathering,
And dews are falling t'a-t,
I often wander to that spot
To dream about the past.
H'-r pleasing smiles so bright, so pure,
To me again appear,
And scenes of other days come back
A thousand times more dear.
Her speaking eyes, so large and full,
Beamed with joy and lov,
And her heart was pure and guileless,
As the angels up above.
ITer charming voice, so soft and rich,
Methinks 1 hear it yet,
H - r fnuhh-ss i >rni ami ea-y grace,
I never can forget.

The First Kind Word.
\\ as your lesson difficult ?' kindly en
quired a young teacher of a ragged, un
couth looking lad of about ten years, who
was one ot a class which had just finished
a recitation, —'was your lesson difficult, my
Hf
; he hoy thus audressed, raised his large
gray eyes with euquiiiug look, as if to sat
isfy himself that words breathed in so
i sweet a tone, were intended for him ; but,
as he met his teacher's gentle gaze, they
fell, and uroopiug iiis head, he forbore tore
ply. (lis teacher perceiving that he felt the
rebuke, and deeming it sufficient, said no
more, and dismissed the class. This lad,
•johnny by name, was the son of poor pa
rents, both of whom were habituated to the
use ot ardent spirits, and, of course, gross
ly neglected their children, beating and
abusing them, as their excited passions
prompted ; s dduni. and perhaps never let
from their lips a word of kindly interest
even, much less of love.
Johnny being of a mischievous tcniper
anient, was the reeij ient of unbounded
harshness: but to this disposition he oweu a
pr;\ tio c •of attendance a ; the village school,
' "Mther he was sent to -be cut of the way.'
i 1 his was toe first day he had been under
I the care of the pr-.ccht teacher, whom I
[w: 11 call Miss Aimer. Johnny possessed a
quick and retentive mind, and when he
chose to apply himself could stand at the
head o!" h;> class.
But Ins half-learned lessons came oftener
than his perfect ones, and always brought,
him a severe reprimand, and often a chas
tisement, which seemed to have no other
effect than to harden and debase him.
(.rowing tip under such influences at home
and at school, he became a morose and ill
tempered boy, disliked and shunned by his
schoolmates on whom he sought to revenge
himself by all the petty annoyances his fer
tile brain could devise. Such was the lad
when he became a pupil of Miss Aimer.
She had rebuked him for his first error
gently, as was her wont, and, trusting to
tfc potency of such reproof, had dismissed
hi.a from her mind; but not so easily were
the kin I words forgotten by the poor boy,
to whom so gentle a tone was so rare as to
awaken astonishment. It fell among the
rude thoughts and feelings of his heart, as
a flower among thorns. It was to his ear,
that was wont to catch only the harsh tones
of unkindncss, as a strain of sweet melody
after a jarring discord. Oh I why do we
so often withhold that which costs so little
to give, and yet may prove such a treasure
to the receiver? But to the story. Miss
Aimer lingered at the school room till all
the piupils had left, and was walking alone
homeward, when this, to her, trifling event
of the day, was brought to her mind, by
observing Johnny sitting by the roadside,
apparently waiting for her. When she
came to him, he rose and offered Jura nose
gay of violets, saying, 4 l'lcase ma'am, will
you take these ?'
4 Certainly, Johnny, they are very sweet,
and the finest I have seen this season; I
love them dearly, and you too, for bringing
them to me.'
She had taken the boy's hand in hers,
despite its disgusting appearance, and, as
she finished speaking, his eyes were lilted
to her's with the same expsession as in the
morning, and a tear was making a furrow
through the dirt that begrimmed his face.
4 Johnny, what is the matter?' asked his
teacher, in surprise.
4 What you said,' falteringly uttered the
boy. 4 Do you love me V
4 Indeed, I do,' was Miss Aimer's reply.
4 But something must trouble you. Can I
do anything for you ?'
4 Oh, you have done more for mc than
any one else, for nobody ever loved me be
fore ; but I thought you did when you
didn't scold me for not getting my lesson,
but I'm a dreadful boy 1 you don't know it
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1860.
4 Well, tell me all,'answered his teacher,
touched by the earnestness of his manner.
So saying, she led him to a large stone, and
bade him sit by her there, and, as he un
j folded his tale of wrongs done as well as
as received, she mingled her tears with
his, which flowed freely. They sat long,
and ere they parted, she had given rest to
his eager heart, by promising ever to be his
I friend.
'1 he next morning Johnny was missed
from his place at school, and at the close of
the school, Miss Aimer called at the rude
hut which had been his home, to learn the
cause of his absence, and to her surprise,
found it vacated. Whither the people had
gone no one knew.
; Many years after this, (fifteen I think,)
| Miss Aimer was visiting far awav from this
J scene of her early labors, and during her
visit, attended a meeting for teachers. Re
marks were offered and experiences related
by many laborers in the good work of in
structing youth, and, at length a gentleman
; rose and expressed a wish to say a word to
| the band of teachers, on the power of kind
j ness, and in the course of his remarks, re
j lated the story I have given above, closing
| with these, or nearly these words:—
4 I am that lad; those were the first words
of kindness T remember ever to have had
, addressed to me. They have been my tal
; isman, my guiding star through life. They
• have made me what 1 am, and, God help
| ing uie, it shall be the aim of my life torc
| ward the friend of' my youth, in the only
j true way in iny power, namely, by precept
: and example, the influence of the divine
principle of love which actuated her.'
Miss Aimer listened to this recital with
an agitated heart, for she recognized in the
j speaker tlie little Johnny, whom she had
j never forgotten. She sought an interview,
i and learned his history. How, alter leav
, ing his early home, the love of virtue,
1 which Mie ha .1 roused in his bosom, was ev
er leading him away from his evil courses,
' and urging him to a higher life.
Need we say to any teacher who may
; rea l this, 4 Go thou and do likewise?'
All may not meet with so speedy a reward
as did Miss Aimer; but let us remember
that the time i-: not yet, and if we labor
faithfully, we may hope that the guerdon
shall yet lie ours to find that some poor soul
has been rescued Ir on degration by our en
deavors, to shine lorever, a star in the Sa
viour's coronet!
A harsh word will kill, where a gentle
one will make alive.
NOVEL HEADING.
' [We extract the following from the able
and interesting report of Dr. Hay, of the
Butler Hospital for the Insane, Providence,
It. I ]
Among the mental exercises character
istic of our day and generation, which are
unfavorable to mental health, it would be
j something like acting the play with the
! part of Hamlet left out, were we to omit
j all mention of one scarcely secondary in
importance to any other.
The effect of novel reading on the men
talj health is what we have to consider in
the present inquiry. Of course, it varies
with the character of each individual
mind, and with the circumstances thut ac
company it Generally speaking, howev
; er, there can be no question that excessive
indulgence in novel reading necessarily
enervates the mind, and diminishes itspow
er of endurance. In other departments of
literature, such as biography and history,
! the mental powers are more or less exer
: cised by the ideas which they convey.
; Facts are stored up in the memory; hints
I are obtained for the further pur.-uit of
: knowledge ; judgements are formed respcct
j ing character and actions ; original thoughts
are elicited; a spirit of investigation is ex
cited ; and, more than all, life is viewed as
jit really has been and must be lived. A
mind thus furnished and disciplined is pro
j vided with a fund of reserved power to
| fall back upon when assailed by adverse
forces, which all of us, in some shape or
| other, at some time or other, must expect
Ito encounter. In novel reading, on the
| contrary, the mind passively contemplates
j the scones that are brought before it, and
j which, being chiefly addressed to the pas
[ sions and emotions, naturally please, with
I out the necessity of effort or preparation.
Of late years, a class of books has arisen,
! the sole object of which is to stir the feel
| ings, not by ingenious plots; not by touch
; ing the finer chords of the heart, and skill- •
fully unfolding the springs of action : not
by arousing our sympathies for unadulter
: ated, unsophisticated goodness, truth,
and beauty, for that would assimilate them
, to the immortal productions ot Shakspeare
and Scott; but by coarse exaggerations of
every sentiment, by investing every scene
in glaring colors, and, in short, by every
form of unnatural excitement. In all this I
there is little or no addition to one's stock j
of knowledge; no element of mental
strength is evolved, and no one is better j
| prepared by it for encountering the stern
realities of life. The sickly sentimentality
: which craves this kind of stimulus is as
; different from the sensibility of a well-or
dered mind as the crimson flush of disease j
; from the ruddy glow of high health. A
mind that seeks its nutriment chiefly in
■ books of this description is closed against
; the genial influences that flow from real
i joy and sorrow, and from all the beauty 1
. an 1 heroism of common life. A refined
. selfishness is apt to prevail over every bet-
I ter feeling; and when the evil day comes,
tbe higher sentiments which bind us to
i our fellow men by all the ties of beuevo
i lence, and justice, and veneration, furnish
no support nor consolation. Let me not
be misunderstood. I do not say that no
one can read a novel without endangering
the health of his niind; for, under certain
qualifications, nothing could be further
' . from producing such a result than this
kind of recreation. Who can number the
hours ot d -comfort and sorrow which
j have been relieved ol half their burden by
the delightful fictions of Feott ? Th o spc
cific doctrine 1 would inculcate is, that the
■ excessive indulgence in novel reading,
which is a characteristic of our times, is
chargeable with many of the mental irreg
ularities that prevail among us in a degree
unknown at any former period.
r i he views here given concerning the ef
fect of certain kinds of reading on the
health of the brain m iy not be readily ac
cepted by those (and they constitute the
; larger part of mankind) who are unable or
| unwilling to perceive any relation of cause
| and effect between tilings apparently so
; remote from one another. Because tha
j mischief does not follow, fully foimed and
developed, on the first application of the
, noxious agent, the latter is supposed to
! have had nothing to do with it. Such
| reasoning receives no support from our
knowledge ol the animal economy. We
might as well say that dyspepsia always
| originates in a particular surfeit, or even
frequent excesses, and never in a long ccn- j
turned habit of eating or drinking some
thing which, taken occasionally, may be
borne with impunity. The evil is no less
real, and no less serious, because it re
quires a certain amount of accumulation to
render it visible. Here, too, the remedy
D higher culture and worthier aims; and
though slow in its operatic we may be
sure it is the only one that will bring re
lief.
Good Nature.
Good nature is a gem which shines
brightly wherever it is found. It cheers
the darkness of misfortune, and warms the
heart that is callous and cold. In social
life who lias not seen and felt it- influences?
Don't let iiftle matters ruffle you. Nobody
gains anything by being cross and crabbed.
If a friend has injured you—if the world
goes hard—if you want employment and
car. t get your honest clues—or fire has
consumed, or water swallowed up the
fruits of many years' hard toil—or your
faults magnsS. d, or enemies have traduced,
or friends deceived, never mind; don't get !
mad with anybody; don't abuse the world
or any creature; keep good matured, and
our word for it all will come right. The
solt south wind and the gentle sun are
not more effectual in clothing the earth
| with verdure and sweet flowers ot spring, !
. than is good nature in adorning the hearts
! of men and women with blossoms of kind
. ness, happiness and affection—those flow
ers, the fragrance of which ascend to lleav- 1
en.
What is Life.
The mere sleep of a year is not life. To
eat, and drink, and sleep—to be exposed
to darkness and the light—to pace round in
: the mill of habit, and turn thought into an
implement of trade—this is not life. In
j all this but a poor fraction of consciousness
j of humanity is awakened, and the sancti-
I ties still slumber which make it worth
I while to be. Knowledge, truth, love, beau -
j (}', goodness, faith, alone can give vitality
ito the mechanism of existence. The laugh
of mirth|that vibrates through the heart—-
i the tears that freshen the dry wastes with
i in—the music that brings childhood back
i —the prayer that calls the future near—
the doubt which makes us meditate —the
death that startles us with mystery —the
hardship which forces us to struggle—the
anxiety that ends in trust —are the true
nourishment of our natural being.
®5&-Goodness is goodness, find it where
we may. A vineyard exists fur the pur
pose of nurturing vines, but he would be a
strange vine-dresser who denied the reality
oi grapes because they bad ripened under
a less genial soil, and beyond the precincts
of his vineyard.
A good man in affliction, who was
! asked how he bore his sorrows so well, re
| plied : 4 it lightens the stroke to draw near
to II im who handles the rod.'

Can'ion to B ys. —Those who drive
cows with full bags, should never make
them run, savs the Massachusetts PI w
man. This we all know, but it is well to
repeat oven what the cow-driver may know
| perfectly well, as it will freshen his feel
ings oi kindness towards these useful uo
luest.'C animals. If the ca'.Te are lazy and
it ;s necessary to use force to make them
walk smartly, a pliable stick -hould be em
p'oyed, or a 4 black snake whip.' When a
toy, we were very fond of a whip of this
kind, and used to save the skins of all the
: eels caught and dry theni for lashes. It
makes a loud crack, is good company, and
muck feared by the cuttle, which take good,
care not to lag behind. Never throw at
eatt;e stones or pieces of wood, and never
cau-e them to run, boys.
Bra d Tit rbs. —All herbs which are to be
dried should be washed, separated, and
carefully picked ever, then spread on coarse
paper and kept in a room until perfectly
dry. Those which arc intended lor cook
ing should be stripped from the stems and

tles and cork tightly. Put those which are
intended tor medical purposes into paper
bags, and keep them in a di t place.
h> Stop lib id ing. —((). J„yon, a den
ti-t of Maspeth, L. 1., writes to the Scien
tific American as follows: Observing re
cently a ease of death caused by hemor
rhage from the extraction of a tooth, the
following should be universally known as j
an infallible remedy: Make Plaster of
Paris into the consistence of soft putty
and fill the cavity. It will soon become a'
solid plug.'
&2L>TO prepare iron cement for stopping
leaks, take sixteen parts of clean wruught
iron filings, three parts powdered sal am
moniac, and two parts flour of sulphur, mix
all well together, und preserve thccompound
in a stoppered vessel and in a dry place till
wanted lbr use. Then take one part of the
mixture, and add twelve parts of clean iron
filings, and mix this new compound with
as much water as will bring it to the con
j sistence of a paste, having previously ad
ded to the water a few drops of sulphuric
acid.
Liquid Clue. —The following recipe, the
discovery of a French chemist, is selling,
about the country, as a secret, lor various
prices, from one to five dollars. !t is a
handy and valuable composition, as it does
i not gelatinize nor undergo putrefaction and
fermentation, and become offensive, and
can be used cold for all the ordinary pur
poses of glue in making or mending furni
ture or broken vessels that are not exposed
to water, Ac.: In a widemoutlied bottle ;
I dissolve eight ounces of best glue in a half
pint of water, by setting it in a vessel of !
water and heat: g it until dissolved. Then
add slowly, constantly stirring, two and a
i half ances of strong aquafortis (nitric
| acid.) Keep it well corked, and it will be '
' ready for use. This is the ' Celebrated
Prepared Glue,' of which we hear so much.
Who are the Druses?
'] he wholesale frightful massacre of the
: Christians in Syria, by the Druses, will
lead our readers to inquire, Who are the I
Druses ? and we take the following de- |
j seription of this fanatical people from the
Washington Constitution : ' They are a i
sect of Mohammedans who trace their ori- !
gin to a wonderful fanatic named Ilamsa,
who, in conjunction with one of the fol- \
lower -, wrote a sacred book, embodying his j
i doctrine for the guidance of the priesthood
j only. lie taught that Gou could only be j
known to mankind by manifestations of his ,
i presence in human form, and that he had ;
so manifested himself ten times, the lust
time being in 1020, in the person of Ila
kem, a Caliph of Egypt, who left the care of
the faithful to five principal ministers. A
complicated system of priesthood is main
tained; and many of the doctrines of the
sect resemble the Christian theology.— I
They are said to derive their name from a
Mohammedan missionary named Darazi or I
Drusi, but they disavow both his name and |
doctrines. The Druses have iu former j
I times been noted for cruelty, and for hatred '
! of the Christian religion, especially of a
sect called Maronites, whose spiritual head
is the Patriarch of Antioeh, though they
have some relations with Home, ai the
lute slaughters, however, the fanaticism of
the Drupes has not permitted them to ;
: make any distinctions, and all Christians
have been indiscriminately the victims of
their rage.
The New Cut. —An old clergyman who
had an old tailor as his beadle for many
j years, returning from a walk in which the
' minister's man' was in the constant habit
of attending him, thus addressed his fellow
traveler : 4 Thomas, 1 cannot tell how it
is that our congregation should be getting
thinner; for I am sure I preach as well as
ever I did, and must have gained a great
deal of experience since 1 first came among
you.' 4 Indeed, sir.' replied Thomas, 'old
parsons now-a-days are just like old tailors.
I am sure 1 sew as well as ever I did, and ;
the cloth is the same; but it's the cut, sir
i —the new cut—that beats mc.'

Sometimes at night he will start up from

will sit for whole days and nights in astute
of complele torpor, taking no refreshments,
and uttering no sound. The gardens of

used to be wheeled about in a chair, on
rollers, now see him no more, and he is, to
