May I Shovel .Your Snow Away?
The flakes w e r e thick on the (ley. pave. ,

And thoirzlii I am meal:, kind sir. I'll try
To shovel your snow 'away."
The shovel. maul his shoulder borne, -
Had a m eight he could scarce
And his pallid "hrow had an a i r f or l orn ;
As if he Were u , ed to pain; ,•
yith unmittened hand and no tweccont,
He WAS out in the cold that day '
To push his claim for an honest job,
And shovel the snow aoay.
"My Father died with the !lowers of Spring;
The sums, «hick have fallen deep,
Are testing now on the lowly bed.
'Where I often have gone to weep; •
Oh, •cottld he start, from that sleep so sound,
And elsvp his poor boy to-day,
I «00l haste to his grave in the hallowed ground
And shovel its snow away.
4 .My Sisters cough will not leave her now;
And'my Mother is feeble too,
1 cau buy them fowl and medicine,
NVith an honest job to do;
Thee often say that the wintry breath,
Which Wows till it makes tln start,
Is not so cutting. and stein. and chill,
As the. ice wound the heart.''
That day when the sleigh-bullS tinkled loud, .
An the furs went proudly pre.t.
And the joyous shiint of the school-buys rang,
A. the playful half they east,
Like. a sob of the pinintu•e sea, there came •
• A note which was far from gay..
And its mournful burden was still the same—
"•ilay I shine' your snow• away., !"

Men rejoice, when . the sun is risen : they re
joice when it goes down ; while they are uncon
scious of the decay of their own lives,j—Men
rejoice at seeing the face of a new season, as at
the arrival of one greatly desired. Neverthe
less, the revolution of the-seasons is the deCiiy
of human life. Fragments of driftwood meet
ing in the wide ocean, continue together a lit
tle space : thus, parents, wives, children, rela
tives, friends and riches, remains with us but
for a short (oe—then separate, and the separ
ation is inevitable. No mortal cart escape the
common lot ; he who mounts for departed rela
tives has no power to cause them to return.

life is death, every right-minded man ought to
pursue that which is connected with ultimate
bliss.
AlWord to Little Girls.
Who is lovely ? It is • the little girl who
drops sweet words, kind remarks and- pleasant
smiles as she passes along--who has a kind
word of sympathy for every girl or boy she
meets in trouble, And a kind hand to help her
companions out of dilliculty;--w ho never scolds,
'never contends, never teases her mother, nor
seeks in any way to diminish but - always to
increase her happiness.—Wonld it not please
you to pick up a string of pearls, drops of gold.
diamonds, or precious stones, as you pass along
the street? But these are the precious stones
that can never be lost. Take the hand of the
friendless. Smile on the sad and dejected.
Sympathise with those in trouble. Strive
everywhere to diffuse aroundymr sunshine and
joy." if you do this, you will be sure to be
loved.
Gone Right Over It. f
I have a friend. whose ready Vit often enli
vens the social circle, and sometimes also faith
fully serves the cause of truth. One Sabb a th
morning, as lie stepped from his house to go
to church, he met a stranger driving a heavily
loaded Wagon through the. town. He turned
upon him, stopped, lifted both hands, and
stood in a tragic attitude, gazing upon the
ground beneath the vehicle. and exclaimed.
"There !—yon are going right over it ! You
have gone rizhf over it !" The traveller has
tily gat*xd up his reins, drew in his horses,
came to a dead stand, and began looking un
der his wheels to see what little innocent child,
or dog, or pig. might have been
_ground to a
jelly by their heavy weight. lint seeing noth
ing, he looked anxiously- up to the man who
had so singularly arrested his progress, and
said, "ov e r what ?" "The fourth command
ment," was the quick reply—"Retnember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy." ft was hard
starting, those wheels again, and hard hauling
that load all the rest of the day.—Norwich
Examiner.
Making Bride
A traveller in Connolly says :—"The Ger
mans, by the way, have a queer way of mak
ing 'brides,' and of doing some other things in
the courting and marrying tray which may
interesq, you perhaps. When a maiden is be
trothed, she is called 'bride.' and so continues
till she becomes 'wife.' All the while she is
engaged she is a 'bride.' The lovers, imme
diately upon the betrothal, exchange plain
,crold rings, which are ever worn afterwards
till death parts them. The woman wears hers
on the third finger of her left hand, and when
she-becomes 'wife,' her ring is transferred to
the third finger of the right hand, and there it
remains. The huslutnd always wears his ring
just as the wife wears hers. so that if your
look upon a iiian‘s hand you can tell whether
lie is mortgaged or not. There is no cheating
I;ir him ever after—no coquetting with the
girls, as if he were an inimar Fred man : for lo
the whole story is tchi hy his linger-ring. A

I told her that in our country we , ii ds

more than half shocked. •Think, there is
Frederick, my husband—only twenty-four•—so
young. so handsome:--and all the girls would
be taking him flor an unmarried man, and he
making love to stint ! Oh, it is dreadful, is it
not ? They would never knot- he was mar

Anecdote of Silas Wright.
A gentleman who during the lifetime of Mr.
Wright. was one of his most intimate and .con
tidential friends, relate.' to us, a few days ago„
the following incident of his life, an incident
which shows clearly the high moral principle
by hicli that great and good man was ever
,• • • Itprivateant • • •
While a Member of the Senate of New York,
many years agd, there were several applica
tions for bank charters, sonic of them for in
stitutions with' a large capital, and whose
friend were urging the passage Of the bills
with vehemance. and a system of Lobbying
was brought into requisition, scarcely inferior
to the present highly perfected state of the pro
fession. On one occasion - aprominent member
of Assembly; and either then or subsequently
Speaker of the house, walkinn , arm in arm
with Mr. Wright, when the following conver
sation, in substance, passed- between them :
Alemher —I am told, Mr. Wright, that yon
have never acquired a fortune, but are in niocL
crate circumstances.
Mr. Wright—You are correct. 1 have never
tuicl --. "time to devote especially to making
money, and besides am not perhaps so much
attached to property as most men.
Member—Bat you would not dislike to be
rich. and in easy circumstances ?
Mr. W.—No on the contrary. it would af
ford me pleasure to have a c3mpetency, believ
ing that 1 could use it prudently, and in such
a manner ns.to benefit others as well as myself
think I could put you in the way
of a fortune of say $50,000, if you would but
adopt my suggestions.
should feel greatly obliged to you
for any suggestion, which would' enable me,
honestly. to acquire such an account.
Mem.—Well, then, I , mr know that the bank
bills will be up in the Senato to-morrow.
have been canvassing, and find the vote very
close. I know vOur opposition to them, and
your determination to defeat. them. Now if
yon could manage to be unwell. and be detain
ed from your scat when the question is taken,
1 have no doubt sonic of nay friends would do
something handsome,, and rather think it
would he $50,000.
Mr. W.---(lndienantly dropping the arm of
the meniber,) Sir, lam astonished. You have
said enough sir: I wish to hear no more. If
my life is spare 3, I shall be in my seat to vote
against the bills.
Mr. Wright said that such an impression
was made on his mind by the COllVertiatiim,
that he was too nervous to sleep soundly, and
that at one time of the night, he awoke and
found him - self wandering about the room, in a
state of tlervous excitement. In the morning
he ate a very light breakfast, fearing it might
cause. him to he sick. and half an hour before
the meeting of the Senate, he was in his seat,
impatiently waiting for the opportunity to re
cord his vote, as judgment and honesty dic
tated.
Such was the principle which controlled the
action of Mr. Wright in all his public and pri•
vate relations. llis success is recorded in his
tory, while the fate_orth4erson who had the
temerity to attempt to swerve .hint from the
path of rectitude, although a man of fine tal-
ents and popular manners, fell a prey to dissi
pation. and after retnoting front his country
residence to the city of New York, died an in
&dm ions death. We could give his name, but
prefer to withhold it out , of regard for the feel
ings of friends.
Curious Statistics.
Some Statistical genius declares that "more
money is expended in the .United States tbr
cigars than for all the common schools in the
rnion." A wag, who is undoubtedly a lover
of the weed, seeing this statement going through
the papers, gets off the following :
_ it has lieen, calculated that the cost of wash.
inn liniM that might just as well be worn two
days longer, amounts to enough in this coun
t\ .37 to more than defray the expenses of the
~,1 nerican Eoard of ForeignMissiors.
L I' he expenses of buttons worn on the backs
of our coats: where they are of no earthly use,
is equal to the surport of all our orpin asy
lums.
The value of toils to dress coats (of no value
in reality. for tvartnth or convenience) is actu
ally greater than the cost of our excellent sys
tem of common schools.
It has been estimated that the . value of old
hoots, thrown aside, which might have 'Leen
worn at least a day longer, is more than enough
to buy a flannel night-gown tur every bahy
in the land. Also that the cost of the extra
inch on the tall shirt collars of our young men
is equal to the sum necessary to pat the Bi
ble into the hands of every one of the Patago
nian giants.
Swine Fles.n.
Pork enters may bilieve as tench of this as
they please. It is said that the Jews. Turks.
...Irabians. and all those who observe the pre
rept of avoiding blood and swine's flesh. ate
infinitely more free from disease than Chris
tians : more especially do they escape those
oppralli of the medical art, gotit. scrofula, con
sumption. and madness. 'the Turks eat great
quantities of honey Anil pastrlr. and much

A most ludicronS affair
. lately occurred at
one - of the country fairs in a neighboring State.
There had been an accommodation train placed
upon the railroad passing. the village situated
ncar to the fair grounds, the rates of fair u p o n
which had been reduced to just one half the
price charged on the regular train. The no
:Won train left nt 8 . M . each day.
As Avas expected, on the evening of the la . st
day of the fair, a large crowd had collected on
the platform near the Depot, awaiting the ar
rival of the regular :Express train, expecting to
get passage thereon, to their different places of
destination.
At length a whistle was heard in the dis
tance. and amid tire and smoke, the long train
appeared in view. 3lany of the crowd had
been -waiting for - bours. and-at that late period
were almost overcome With weariness, but at
the welcome sound they rowed th e ms e lves a nd
swarmed on .the platform like bees. The eye
of the Conductor, he having had sonic difficul
ty with a like crowd the night before, took in
at a single view the whole dilemma in which
he -was-_placed. lie certainly must stop, and
he knew that in an instant the entire train
would be beseiged by applications (or passage.
The cars were already crowded to their . ut
most capacity, and. as to receiving any more
passengers. he knew it to be impossible.
-it was just as he expected. the wheels hard
ly ceased revolving, before pelt melt came the
whole crowd, scrambling, tenting, pulling.
hauling upon the platforms, each one anxious
to get within _and secure a good scat. They
Ibmid the door locked however, and well
wielded by the conductor and his assistants.
It. teas in vain that he explained to them that
he could not eury them, dm t . the cars were al
ready.crowded. - They would listen to nothing.,
they wanted to go, so they would. They
crowded the platform, they clung to the steps
and hung to the WindoWs.. His time was up.-
and he had no space to tarry—but it mattered
not to the crowd, they had got a foot-hold and
were bound to go. It mattered not how inse
cure the position, if their limbs were damaged
qr their lives jeopardised, the coinpany ,was
able to pay, and they hung on.
The bell rang, the whistle sounded, but
bore no warning to them. The poor conductor
looked puzzled, and scarce knew what to do
If the train moved some lives must be lost, and
to remain longer where he was be could not.
He entreated, told theta another train would
be along, but the crowd heeded him not, they
were determined to go on that train. At length,
an idea broke in upon him. Upon' the switch
near him, were three empty cars belonging to
the accommodation train.
"Waimea," said he, "if I must, I suppose
I must."
Ile then 'vent and examined the wheels of
the empty train and found them in order.
"Now," said he, "all who want to go, get
into the two front cars of this train."
Away went the crowd, tumbling' over each
other, screaming, laughing and hooting ; and
in less than a minute the two cars were filled
to their full extent by the“hornNard bound."
Each had ,secured . a good seat . and were con
gratulating each other 'as to what their perse
verance had. gained for them. and solacing
themselves with the prospc:ct of a speedy jour
ney. Tly sc nearest the windows had adjust•
ed them, in order to allow a free cirzolation
of air—and carpet bags' and valises were
stowed snugly away under the seats. Per-
Imps a better contented company had never
got into so small ,a compass before, for they
were ()Mind to go home, and here was a fair
chance of doing so. •In a few minutes they
would be in motion, it was but a few rods
ahead to the switch, they %you'd soon hitch on,
and then away.
The conductor had monntcd his - train, and
the engineer was at his post.
“Are you all abotird, gentlemen ?" asked the
con.luct or.
"Yes, sir!" cried a hundred voices.
"Then, gen..lemen.l wish you good, night,
and a pleasant journey home."
The wirkile sounded, and the bell rang, and
away went the train at the rate of about twen
ty- miles an hour.
A dead silence reigned throughout the two
cars for almost a minute, when a large, huTly
red whiskered man straightened himself up
and said :
''(ientle►nen, in my opinion, we have all
been very cheaply 'sold.' lie has tune away
and left
So he had, and a ,fiercer crowd or men was
never seen in that r ion before. They swore
and stamped, tore, and cur,ed all railroads
that ever •re built, it was well the conduc

for he would most have found it a "hard
road to travel." At length, Willi no better

A Tradition of the Arabs
King Num od one day commanded his three
sons to cuter his presence, and he caused to
lie placed before them by his slaves three sealed
inns. One of the urns was of gold. the second
of anther. and the last of clay. The king de
sired his eldest son to choose among them that
which appeared to cunt:hitt the tre - asure of the
greatest 'nice. The eldest chose the vase of
gold, on which was written '•Empire." Ile
opened it and found it Was full of blood. The
second chose the amber vase, on which was
written -Glory." Ile opened it and found it
tilled with the ashes of men who had been fa
mous on the earth. The third took the re
maining vase—that of clay. Ile opened it and
found it empty: but in the bottom of it the potter
had written one of the letters of the name of
God. •‘Whi‘.:h of the , e va-es ‘veighs most ?"
demanded the king of in, court. The ambitions
replied, the vase of gold : the eonquelovs.

The first Indian that was ettpitally extrenteil
by the Cherokees, tinder the Cherokee laws
and by a Cherokee sheriff,. was a fellow named
...Nat, who w ,: hanged about five miles from
the town of Van Buren, in Arkansas, for the
murder of another Indian who was called
"Mosquito."' The.singular and almost, laugha.
- 7,17 - ii were Tetordwd
to particu ars o t tit execu
at the time by en eye witness :
"The sheriff had caused a-. gallows to be
erected n short distance from the court lodge,
but-when the culprit was brought to it, he be
ing a very tali man, it was fount] to be too
short-'tor his tasommod.4tim,' and some other
piaci; had to be sought-for the execution.
"The whole band of Indians, with the sheriff
and .Nat' in the midst of them, then betook
themselves to the banks of the Arkansas, in
search of a proper tree-feonrwhieh to suspend
the prisoner ; and, niter a little time, a tall
cotton wood was found, with a projecting

One day, when young pigs first came around,

hot or cold, keep you in doors. If it is rainy

a clear day, and if

much more remains in the, system of what
ought to be thrown off by exercise, and some
ill -result, some consequent symptom or ill
feeling is the certain issue.: Hit is Cold out of

(a — One of the reasons urged by Know-Noth
ing orators and papers Why Catholics should
not be allowed the rights '4' citizens here,' is
that' they, oWe , politiCal allegiaiteti to the Pope, -
'and that foreign Catholics, in bectuning'citizens,
do, not renounce that a ll egiance. A Catholic
Clergyman of Troy, N. Y., thuS replies to this
argument used against him in the 2'inacit 01 that
city:
“It seems by an article which yen pnblisheil
together with my letter, that the reason why
Catholic Priests shOuld not be allowed the - same
rights as Protestant ininistarii, ,is ,that -nhe
Catholic church does not rentanice
