Where such pleasant cheer we share?
Where the hours so gently glide?
Though but humble be the fare
That Want's daily toils provide,
Dainty's cup can neer compare
With the joy that sparkles there,
By our own fire-aide.
Would you meet With genuine Mirth
Where she comes a willing guest?
'Tis the quiet social hearth,
Well I wot, she loveth best;
Where the little ones, at play,
Prattle by -their mother's side,
And.the elder, mildly gay,
and sing the hours away
By their own tire-aide.
An honest man, though poor,
Yet may feel an honest pride,
While he tells his troubles o'er
Where his heart bath naught to hide
He who falls from high estate
No great grievance bath to bide,
If he calmly meets his fate,
Where Content and Quiet wait
By the rustic fire-side.
They who love us till we die,
Who through troubles have been tried,
Who will watch the closing eye
When all grows cold htside—
Where shall friends like these be found,
Search we earth and ocean wide?
Where, on all this weary round,
Save that hallowed spot of ground
Called our own fire-side?

Thus I chant my rustic lay,
'Neat!' the rafters, brown with smoke

There's no COMFORT in them all

A frivolous word, a sharp retort
A parting in angry haste,
The sun that rose on a bower of bliss,
The loving look and the tender kiss,
this set on a Myren waste,
Where pilgrims tread with weary feet,
Paths destined never more to meet.
A frivolous word, a sharp retort,
A moment ,hat blots out years,
Two lives are wrecked on a stormy shore,
Where billows of passion surge and roar
To break is a spray of Warn;
Tears shed to blind the severed pair
Drifting seaward and drowning there.
A frivolous word, a sharp retort,
A flash tram a passing cloud,
Two hearts are scathed to their inmost core,
Are ashes and dust for evermore.
Two faces turn to the crowd,
Masked by pride with a life-long
To hide the scars of that agony,
A frivolous word, a sharp retort,
An arrow at random sped,
It has cut in twain the mystic tie
Thnt had bound two souls in harmony,
Sweet love lies binding or dead.
A poisoned shaft, with scarce an aim,
Ilas done a mischief sad as shame.
A frivolous word, a sharp retort,
Alas! for the loves and lives
8o little a cause has rent apart ;
Tearing the fondest heart from heart
As a whirlwind rends and rives,
Never to reunite again,
But live and die in secret pain.
A frivolous word, and sharp retort,
Alas I that it should be so I
The petulant arced', the careless tongue,
Have wrought more evil and &memory wrong
Have brought to the world more woe
Than all the armies age to age

When the morning half in shadow,
Ran along the hill and meadow,
And with milk-white fingers parted
Crimson roses, golden-bearted;
Opening over ruins hoary
Every purple morning-glory,
And outabaking from the bushes
Bingeing huts and pleasant thrushes,
That's the time our little baby,
Strayed from Paradise, 41, may be,
Came with eyes like Heaven above her
Oh, we could not eboose but Imre her
Not enough of earth for sinning,
Always gentle always winning,
Never needing our reproving,
Ever lively, ever loving;
Starry eyes and sunset tresses,
White arms made for light caresses,
Lips, that knew no word of doubting,
Often kissing, sever pouting;
Bawdy even in completeness,
Oyer full of childish sweetness;
That's the way our little baby,
Far to pure for cash, ft may be,
Seemed to us, mass while about her
Deemed we could not do without her.
When the morning, half in shadow,
Ran along the hill and meadow,
And with milk-white fingers parted
Crimson roses, golden hearted;
Open over ruins hoary
Every purple morning-glory,
And outsbaking from the bushes
singing larks and pleasant thrushes;
That's the timeem little baby,
Pining here for Rearm, it may be,
Toping from our bitter weeping,
Closed her eyes as when in sleeping,
And her white hands on her bosom
Folded like a stgymer blossom.
Now the litter she doth lie on,
Strewed with roses, bear to Zion;
Go, as past s pleasant meadow,
Through valley of the shadow ;
Take her softly, holy angels,
Past, the rants of God's evangels;
Pest the saints anti martyrs Win
To the Earth Bon, pant and lowly ;

Care for Drunkennets.
The late Earle of Pembroke, who had
many good qualities, but always persisted
inflexibly in his own opinion, which as
well as his cenduct was often very singu
lar, thought of an expedient to prevent
the exhortations and importunities of
those about him. This was to feign him
self deaf; and under the preter.ce of hear
ing very imperfectly, he would always
form his answer not by what was really
said to him, but by what he desired to
have said. Among other servants was
one who had lived with him from a child,
and served him with great fidelity and
affection, till at length be became hie
coachman. This man by degrees got a
habit of drinking, for which his lady
often desired that he might be dismissed.
My Lord always answered, "Yes, indeed,
John is an excellent servant."
"1 say," replied the lady, "that he's
continually drunk, and desire that he may
be turned away."
"Aye," said his lordship, "he has lived
with us from a child, and as you say, a
trifle of wages should not part us."
John, however, one evening, as he was
driving from Kensington, overturned his
lady in Hyde Park; she was not much
hurt, but when she came home she began
to rattle the earl.
" Here," says she, "is that beast, John,
so drunk, that he can scarce stand ; he
has,overttirned the coach, and it he is
not discharged may break our necks."
"Aye," says my lord, "is poor John
sick ? alas, I am very sorry for him."
"I am complaining," says my lady;
"that he is drunk, and has overturned
me."
"Ave," answered his lordship, "to be
sure, Ge has behaved very well, and shall
have proper advice."
My lady, fludin ,, it hopeless to remon
strate, went away in a pet ; and my lord
having ordered John into his presence,
addressed him very coolly in these words:
"John, you know I have a regard for
you, and as long as you behave well you
shall be taken care of in -my family; my
lady tells me you are taken ill, and in
deed I see that you can hardly stand ; go
to bed, and I will see that you have proper
advice."
John, being thus dismissed, was taken
to bed, where, by his lordship's order,
a large blister was put upon his heml,
another between his shoulders, and six
teen ounces of blood drawn from his arm.
John found himself nest morning in a
woeful plight, and was soon acquainted
with the whole process, and the reasons
upon which it was commenced. He had
no remedy, however, but to submit ; for
he would rather have incurred as many
more blisters than lose his place. My
lord sent very formally twice a day to
know how hoUtri9 1111 A s,4lnonfla ,
grutulated my lady upon John s recovery,
whom he directed to be fed only with
water-gruel, and to . have 110 company but
an old nurse. In about a week, John
having constantly sent word that he wa
well, my lord thought fit to understand
the messenger, and said,"he was extreme
lv glad to hear the fever had left him,"
Lind desired to see him. When John came
in, "Well, John," said lie, "I hope this
bout is over."
" Ah, my lord." says John, "I humbly
ask your lordship's pardon, and I promise
never to commit the same fault again."
" Aye, aye," says my lord, "you say
right, nobody eau prevent sickness, and
if you should be sick again, John, I shall
see to it., though perhaps you would not
complain, and promise you that you shall
always have the same advice and the same
attendance that you have had now."
" God bless your lordship," says John,
"I hope there will be no need."
" Su do I, too, says his lordship, "but
as long as you do your duty to me, I will
do mine to you, never fear."
John then withdrew, and so dreaded
the discipline he had suffered, that he
was never known to be drunk afterwards.
Spiritualism Explained.
A writer in "Once A Week" makes the
following ingenious attempt to account
for so-culled " spiritualistic" manifesta
tions, as the result of ordinary physical
causes:
The phenomenon attributed to spiritu
al agency are generally considered either
mere tricks of legerdemain, or imaginary
delusions which are unworthy of the con
sideration of any serious thinker or man
of science. The writer would beg leave
to observe that he has good reasons for
thinking that the so-called spiritual phe
nomena are veritable facts, produced by
natural causes which are but very imper
fectly understood. Many diligent inves
tigators of spiritual phenomena have been
lead to think that they are produced by
some powerful natural agent, distinct
from electricity or magnetism, although
somewhat allied to these forces. This
powerful natural agent has been called
the "odyllic forces." It is, probably, a
peculiar manifestation of electro-maguetic
force. • • Now, every human being is
in himself a kind of electric battery. The
different metals and acids in the body
compose this battery. The mind or the
will is the instrument which directs the
force generated by the metals and acids.
If the metals and the acids in the body
be of a superior kind, and arranged in
doe degree, and the mind be of a high
order, the man is capable of sending a
message to the remotest part of the earth,
and maybe sure of receiving back the
answer the counter-current.. This, I
opine, is the true philosopy of spiritual-

The Art of Employing Time.
Adam Smith has shown, beyond all
possibility of cavil, that a great many
more pins can be made if the process rs
divided among eighteen trades, than if
each workman is obliged to make every
pin from beginning to end himself. So
too, a naturalist, who spends fear after
year in the observation of red ants, Till
be likely to learn far more of their nature
and habits than could ever be known
without making them the object of special
study. There is a story told of a learned
German professor who had given his
whole life to the study - of the Greek arti
cle, and who on his deathbed, warned his
son to learn from his example, and not to
flitter away his time in trying to master
too extensive a subject; for he himself
had failed in that way, whereas he might
have accomplished something if he had
confined his labors to the dative case.—
Now it is no mean thing to accomplish
something, and there is a deep delight in
knowing that a thing done has been done
well. Perhaps one is happier if, by dint
of patient grubbing fur a lifetime, he
finally gets to the bottom of one thing,
than he would be if, like a swallow skim
ming over a thousand meadows, he had
been merely sipping the manifold sweets
of nature, even though he should have
sipped of them aIL
We would not speak too positively on
this point fur it is so msy to be wrong.—
But in so far as we may speak, we will
declare our conviction that there is a high
er ideal than exclusive devotion to a single
end, and that more happiness and the
best social results are attainable by an
harmonious developemeut of all our fac
ulties, intellectual, moral, and ;esthetic.
We believe that a state of society is de
sirable, and we hope it is attainable, in
which even a pointer of pins or the low
liest of workers will, in addition to his
routine of work (for we do not expect or
desire to see division of labor discarded,)
find both time and inclination to extend
his thought over other fields. We feel
that no man should, if lie can help it al
low lkimself to be so absorbed in a single
pursuit as to find no pleasure elsewhere,
and thus dwarf the greater part of his
nature. There is a joy in work, it is true
if work be performed with heart and
strength ; but there arc innumerable oth
er joys of nature, which present them
selves at unexpected moments in unex
pected ways, and must be grasped at once
or they are gone forever.—Exchange and
Review.

" The wearied animal can proceed no
further," said a doctor, as he stopped his
horse at the turn-pike inn. lie entered
the bar-room, inwardly cursing the roads,
which prevented his reaching Salem be
fore night, and seated himself by a blazing
fire. 1,100m,y were his meu ta Lion s, w h len
I f f ic
two men, w lose atx,. at the_ entnrnc
_o(
turbed imagination pictures of fierce
banditti. "Six hundred dollars," thought
he, "shy did I bring it with me? and to
proceed alone! But perhaps they may
not be robbers ; perhaps they may not
overtake me; at any rate I will proceed."
After an inspiring draught the journey is
recommenced, and tremblingly alive is
the doctor to each little noise. Ha! a
robber; and with the deadly weapon
aimed at that head, which had so often
directed the councils of thecommon wealth.
And shall a life so preciots to the nation
be sacrificed for a little pelf? No. "Take
my money, but spare try life," exclaims
the son of Galen, and cast his pocket
book at the ruffian's feet. He waits not
for reply, but applies the lash to the jaded
steed. "Speed thee, Rozinante, and bear
thy master far beyond the reach of dang
er." The welcome glare of light soon
flashes on the doctor's eyes. Assistance
is procured, and'a full pursuit of the rob
ber is commenced. They reach the scene
of villain 7; and mu:strum horrendum!
the terrine bandit still maintained his
post; the weapon of death still extended,
and the robber had not yet stopped to
raise the booty which lay at his feet., A
pump, with the handle frozen in a horiz
ontal position, was found to have. been
mistaken by the sapient doctor for a
murderous highwayman!
Preponderance of Youth in a State
Prison.
Writing of the lowa Penitentiary, a
correspondent says :
Men of fine ability, of manly charac
ter, are easily discerned here as elsewhere.
The visitor is amazed at the preponder
ance of young men, not unf:equently of
good parentage, but more commonly of
that class who have given free scope to
their passions for strong drink and its as
sociations arc necessarily and inevitably
dangerous. Men of professimal skill in
burglary, gambling, and ill-fame, congre
gate at the dens of strong drink, and by
their artful graces win young men (bus)
to join in their hilarities, and then adroit
ly invite them into their little games. By
this identical means forty-five young men
out of sixty in the Penitentiary of lowa
assured me they had been led into the
crimes for which they were incarcerated.
In ;the Reform School are several children
from nine to twelve years of age, who
were instruments in the hands of expert
criminals for the comrnissidir of high
crimes. Their first lessons; are usually
learned in the schools of vice open to free
access in almost every community. Their
parents, if living, are either drunkards, or
regardless of the consequences of drink
ing associations. I took an impartial rec
ord of 260 convicts in relations to their
habits of drinking liquors. Of them, 219
had been drinking men; 109 attributed
their incarceration to the use .of liquors;
21 only had been total abstinence me i n.
These were wholly of that class who are
imprisoned for lighter crimes and short
terms.
A foreigner who heard of the Yankee
propensity for bragging, thought he would
beat the natives at their own game. See
ing some very large watermelons on a
market-woman's stand, he exclaimed,
"What I don't you raise larger apples than
these in America ?" The quick-witted
woman immediately replied, "Anybody
might know you're a foreigner; them 's
currants !"
The Festival of Juggernaut.
Before closing my letter I .should like
to give you a few notes of a critical visit
which (paid this week to the great god
Juggernaut, on the occasion of the draw
ing of his canto the temple of his good
friend and aril - mai gossip, Bachabulbub.
Children had their merry-o-rounds,
grown up people their "cheap Jacks" In
dianized ; little groups of friends squatted
together after the manner in Hyde Park
after is review, or at Epsom before the
event of the day, only hero the food was
merely parched rice, with a few sweet
meats, and the drink water. If I had to
gauge 'Undo() morality by the festival of
Juggernaut I would have rated it very
much higher than many of our mission
aries du. Of course, there is the god, al
ways ugly, an utter absence of worship,
and an abundance of amusement; only—
will you believe it P—with readings from
the great poem of Valmiki nearly always
forming one of the chief features of the
fun. Fancy Milton read as a part of the
fun of an English fair! I scarcely ever
saw a llindoo turn round in the street to
look after a woman, native or fictitious
coloring, that I think I may give you this
little sketch as an illustration of a real
fact in connection with' one of the oldest
of llindoo institutions, and with the mor
ality of the llindoos. I went as a critic
purely, prepared, if anything, to be dis
gusted. I saw almost the exact counter
part of an English lair, with the excep
tion of an entire absence of drinking
booths and "people in drink." The
drawing of the car is a mere matter of
half au hour when the roads are hard;
the Mela, or fair, will last all the week, at
the end of which the god will return to
his habitation, etc. Well, I did not see a
semblance of immorality. The road was
lined with huts fur two miles (I referred
to a preliminary proceeding of a festival
a week ago.) and it was crowded with peo
ple. The great curse of the nation is
caste; if that were broken, and woman
placed on a right footing as the equal of
men, I should not be surprised if the
Ilindous sent over missionaries to Eng
land to convince us that they are more
moral than ourselves.—Calculla cur—Lon

baker, and, as is common in-the country,
ho also sold bread ; and it ssas as usual
for working people to call for a penny
loaf as a penny-worth of ale at his house.
A man one day came for six penny
loaves. Webster served him as he sat in
the drinking room; and after they had
been delivered to him, said:
• " Master Webster, take one of your
loaves back, I'll have but five, and bring
me a penny-worth9 . l: alsAat; will make
'The ale was brought to him, and he
gave a loaf for it, drank it, and called for
another, and another, and another, until
he had exchanged the six loaves for six
penny-worths of ale; then rising up,
said :
" Mary must. do with brown bread,
which I believe will be quite as good for
health;" and was deliberately marching
off, when the landlord desired to be paid.
" Paid! for what ?" said the fellow.
" For my bread," answered the land
lord.
" Your bread—have you not had it
again ?"
" Why, then, pay me for the ale," said
the publican."
I gave you bread for it," answered the
defendant.
"That's true," replied Boniface, "yet
somehow, I think I'm cheated, but if you
ever bother me so again, call me cat,
that's all; you shall always pay for every
thing as I bring it in."

The Pestilence Fly In Canada.
Following on the Colorado beetle, the
next infliction to note in the order of in
sect life is the appearance of the "pesti
lence fly." The arrival of this insect,
which is rarely or never seen in ordinary
years, is believed to be the forerunner of
pestilence, and it is said that it was last
noticed in great numbers in this latitude
previous to the breaking oat of the cholera
m 1854. The insect, specimens of which
have been exhibited to us by a citizen
who credits the supposition above cited,
is little less in size than the common
house fly. It is jet black on the back and
wings, the latter being round and short.
The belly and under side of the wings
are striped with yellow, while the legs are
yellow, tipped with black near the feet.
It is certainly an odd,lookiug insect, and
one which we do not remember having
seen before. It is found mingling with
the common flies, and as it is represented
to be quite common at present, those
who are curious to examine the new corn
er will have little difficulty in capturing
specimens. As regards the supposition,
or otherwise theory, that the appearance
of this fly is an indicative of a pestilential
season, we are not prepared to express an
opinion. At ah events we shall give way
to no alarming apprehensions until we
have some assurance from the flies them
selves on the subject.—ilamillon (C. 1r.,)

AN EXTRAORDINILti Tun PIP,CS~A
London watchmaker has constructed a
gold hunting watch, in addition to being
a timekeeper of the utmost precision,
with chronometer adjustments, compen
sation balance and cylindrical springs,
exhibits on the dial plate the following
different indications ;---First, the equation
of the time; second, the moon's age;
third, the months of the year; fourth,
the day of the month; in addition to the
hours, minutes and seconds, as an ordina
ry watch. The mechanism is so contriv
ed that any OLIO or the whole of the hands
maybe set forward or backward at pleas
ure without deranging the rest. Everyry•
moment of this mechanical marvel is laid
down in the strictest proportion and based
upon calculations of an absolutely scien
tific character, and the whole is within the
compass of a pocket timekeeper.

A Father". Protest Against • , baling.
"Yes, I've had a good many fights in
my time," said old John Parkey, tenderly
manipulating his dismantled nose; and
its kind of queer, too, for when I was a
boy the old man was always telling me
better. He was a good man, and hated
fighting.- When I would come home with
my nose bleeding, or with my face
scratched up, he used to call me out ibto
the woodshed, and in a sorrowful and dis
coura,,ed way say; `So, Johnny, you've had
another fight' hey? How muuy times have
I got to tell you how disgraceful and
wicked it is for boys to fight? It was only
yesterday that I talked to you an hour
about the sin of fighting, and here you've
beeu at it again. Who was it with this
time? With Tommy Kelley, hey? Dou't
vou know any better than to fight a boy
that weighs twenty pounds more than you
do, besides being two years older? Ain't
you got a spark of common sense about
ye ? I can see plainly that . yon are deter
mined to break your poor father's heart
by your reckless conduct. What ail's
your finger? Tommy bit it! Drat the lit
tle fool! Didn't ye know enough to keep
your finger out of his mouth? Was try
ing to jerk his cheek off hey? Wpu't ye
never learn to quit fooling around a boy's
mouth with your fingers ? You're bound
to disgrace us all by such wretched beha
vior. You're determined never to be no
body. Did you ever hear of Isaac Watts
—that wrote 'Let dogs delight to bark
and bite'—sticking his fingers in a boy's
mouth, to get 'em bit, like a fool? rm
clean discouraged with ye. Why didn't
ye go for his nose, the way Jonathan Ed
wards, and George Washington, and Dan
iel Webster used to do,
when they were
boys ? Could'nt cause he bad ye down !
That's a party story to teli me. It does
beat all that you can't learn how Socratzs
and William Penn used to gouge when
they were under, after the hours and
hours I've spent in I.lllaiis you about
those great men ! It seems to me some
times as if I should have to give you ep
in despair. Its an awful trial to me to
have a boy that don't pay any attention
to good example nor to what Imp. What!
You palled out two or three handfuls of
his hair? H'm I Did he squirm any ?
Now, if you'd a give him one or two in
the eye—but as I've told ye, many a time,
fighting is poor business. Won't you—
for your father's sake—won't you promise
to try and remember that ? WM! John
ny, how did it—ahem—which licked?
You licked him! Sho! Really! Well, now,
I hadn't any idea you could lick that
Tommy Kelley! I don't believe John
Bunyan at ten years old could have done
it. Johnny, my boy, you con't think how
I hate to have you fighting every day or
two. I wouldn't have had him lick you
for five, no, not for ten dollars! Now, son
ny, go right in and wash up, and tell
your mother to put a rag on your finger.
And, Johnny, don't let the hear of your
fighting avail]. I never see anybody so

Ills Secret flied With lIIMI.
A Saratoga correspondent writes thus:
" A paper lies
. before mo announcing
the death of a once eminent clergyman.
He died in an obscure village in Canada.
He was settled in the City of New York.
His society was - rich, large, and fashiona
ble. He rode on the wave of popular fa
vor. Crowds attended his ministry, and
his pay was large. In the height of his
populariity a letter was received by the
principal warden of the church late one
Saturday night, announcing his resigna
tion, and saying that he had sailed for
Europe that day. No reason was assign
ed, and the parish were in a state of great
excitement. After a time the pastor came
back. His reasons for his course were
stranger than his conduct. The principal
one was that he was subject to black mail,
and he could endure it no longer. He was
soon settled in:an adjoining city, over an
important charge. Hispopularity was
renewed. But soon he left, went to Can
ada, took the place of an assistant minis
ter in a small charge, and there. ho died.
His secret died with him," •

Advantages of ening.
A French physician publishes a long
dissertation on the advantages of crying
and groaning in general; and' especially
during surgical operations. • He contends
that groaning and crying are two. grand
operations by which nature allays anguish;
that those patients who give way; to their
natural feelings, more speedily recover
from accidents andop6rations than those
who suppose it unterthy a man to betray
such symtoms of cowar di ce as either to
to groan or cry.
He tells of a man who .reduced his
pulse from one hundred and , twenty-nix
to sixty, in the course of a few liours,liy
giving full vent to his emotions: If peo
lle are at all unhappy about anything,
et them go into their rooms and comfort
themselves with a loud boo-boo, and they
will feel a hundred per cent. better_ after
ward. What is natural is nearly alWays
useful ; and nothing can be more natural
than the crying
. of children when any
thing occurs to give them either physical
or mental sorrow.
