BY BLUE DESILD Whom shall we call our heroes, To whom our praises sing? The pampered child of fortune, The titled Lord or King ? They live by others labor, Take all„ and nothing give— The noblest types of manhood Are those who work to lire. Then bettor to our workmen, Our hardy sons of toil— The heroes of the workshop, And monarchs of the soil ! Who spans the earth with iron, And rears the palace dome Who acauts for the rich man The comforts of his honie? It is the patient toiler— All honor to him, then ! The true wealth of a nation Is in her workingmen. For many barren ages Earth hid her treasures deep. And all her giant forces Seemed bound as in a sleep ; Then labor's " Anvil Chorus" Broke on the startled air, And lo ! the earth in rapture Laid all her riches bare ! Tis toil that over nature . Gives man his proud control, And purities and hallows The temple of his soul, It startles foul diseases, With all their ghastly train— Puts iron in the muscle, And crystal in the brain ! The Grand Almighty Builder ! Who fashioned out the earth, Bath stamped His sail of honor On labor from her birth. In every angel dower That blossoms from the sod, Behold the master touched-- The handiwork of God ! Then honor to our workmen, Our hardy sons of toil— The heroes of the workshop, And monarchs of the soil! A LcwN►n from the Stars.

Instance Luther in the history of religion ; Humboldt and Ag,az zis in the history of nature. In the interior of Pennsylvania, amid one of those picturesque mountain scene- ries rendering the landscape delightful in the highest degree, you mar see the home stead of a distinguished Naturalist. It has been not only claimed that our good old State may regard it a great honor that he is one of her native sons, but the entire United States islhonored in his be ing one of her citizens. He was born April 20, 1782, and conse quently is now a little minus of being 88 years old. He enjoys health, all his men tal faculties, chops wood, walks to a vil lage some distance, and back. The fath er of our Naturalist published the first Natural History of the Coleoptra of Penn sylvania, as well as a number of other works against Infidelity, &c. The worthy son, in whom is literally fulfilled the promise of a long life of those who honor their parents, took up the sto i ry of Nature, so faithfully pursued by his venerable father, and to-day thefiappy re suit is, the indefatigable sou stands high on Parnassus, having a world-wide fame. In 1102 oh the Pennsylvania Entomo logical Society being formed, he was cho sen their first President. It was announced iu one of the celebra ted reports of the Smithsonian Institute, that his collections in some departments of Entomology were among the best in the United States. Some time ago these collections were purchased by Prot Uhler for Agazzis ' and have been removelito the city , of Boston. He had more or less connection with the Society of Arts and Sciences, and the Philosphical Society -of PhiladelphiP, as well us similar distinguished — KothetWs in America and Europe. In 1853 the Smith sonian Institute, of Washington;:pablish ed his great work on the COleoptra of the United States, which has been selected for the library of Kings and Emperors. Let ters of thanks have been tendered him from the Imperial Library of France, &c. It is written in English, French and La tin, being acknowledged the best of the kind in America.

For *stance The great Emperor of Rifts* sending one of his learned philos ophers on a scientific tour to the United States, paying a special visit to our Amer ican Naturalist. On returning to Rus sia, the interview was published in a sci- entitle work, printed in Russian, French and Latin. Some fifteen years ago the writer had the pleasure of forming, for the first time, a most delightful acquaintance with our able Naturalist, being one of the most agreeable gentleman to converse with on on any subject, that can be met with in the—may I not add, in the world. I will now conclude by introducing our venerable Naturalist to the patient read er us Dr. Ferdinand Ernest Melsheimer, residing in the immediate vicinity of Har mony Grove Church, Dover township, York county, Pa.— York Gazelle.

Our Dutnb Animals tells a good dog story : —"A Chelsea man, once on a time, before the running of horsesars, came to Boston with his young wife, to attend the opera.

Nevertheless, they hurried down Hanover stree,t but only to find, as they feared, that the boat had gone. There wasnoth tug left for them but to foot it along Commercial street to Charlestown bridge, and through Charlestown, over Chelsea bridge, a lone, dreary walk, and one which at that time had a bad reputation, by rea son of some recent assaults committed on belated pedestrians.
