CORN SONG.
IR 3. O. WHITTIEB.
Heap high the farmer's wintry board!
Heap high the golden corn!
No richer gift has autumn poured
From out her lavish horn !
Let other lands exalting, glean
The apple from the pine,
The orange from its glossy green,
The cluster from the vine.
We better love the hardy gift
Our rugged vales bestow,
To cheer us when the storms shall drift
Our harvest fields with snow.

The robber crows away,
I AH through the long bright days of June,
Its leaves grew bright .and fair,
And waved in hot midsummer noon,
Its soft and yellow hair.
And now with Autumn's moonlit eves,
Its harvest time has come,
We pluck away its frosted leaves,
And bear its treasures home.
There, richer than the fabled gift
Apollo showered of old,
Fair hands the broken grain shall sift,
And knead its meal of gold.
Let vapid idlers lull in silk,
Around the costly board;
Give us the bowl of samp and milk,
By homespun beauty poured.
Then sharne cn all the proud and vain,
Whose folly laughs to scorn
The blessings of our hardy grain,
Our wealth of golden corn.
Let the earth withhold her goodly root,
Let mildew blight the rye.
Give to the worm the orchard's fruit,
The wheat fields to the fly;
But let the good old crop adorn
The hills our father's trod;
Still let us for his golden corn
Send up our thanks to God.
Tbo wife ot a returned soldier gave

Oh, happy mother! Oh! more happy
father! Oh, overjoyed brethren and sis
ters if any there are. J low they will
want to peep under the corcrlet of the
bed tj take a look at the three tiny little
heads all laid in a row. How they will
want to look down into the six twinkling
little eyes some blue, some black, per
haps. And their sweet little mouths,
and dainty little noses three uose3,
three mouths and six cars! And their
little feet six stumpy little feet, with
such wee bits of little toe3. And when
all are asleep, and some noisy rag man
comes along shouting r-a-g-s r-a-gs! a-
waking one, v uicn cries ana awakes an
other, aud then the two crying awakes

won't the brothers and sisters have jolly
fun to hear them all crying together?

Died of Grief.
A touchingincident is related as having
occurred in Milwakee, Wisconsin, lately.
About two years ago Mr. Strausburg pur
chased for his child, six years of age, na
med Willie, a young Newfoundland dog,
also called Willie. The two became ve
ry much attached. About two months
ago the dog was run over by the team of
Mr. fe. and injured so seriously that it
was found necessary to kill him. The
grief of the child was inexpressible. He
cried incessantly, and called contiuually
for his companion. The father to quiet
his grief, had the dog's hide stuffed, but
it satisfied the child only for a day. liv
ery effort was made to allay the little fel
low's sorrow, but without avail, and iu
about a week he died from pure grief.
Your Own Gocd Name.
Some one says to young men, don't re
ly upon friends. Don't rely upon the
good names of your ancestors. Thou-
sands have spent the prime of life in the
vain hope of receiving from those whom
they call friends'; and thousands have
5-arvc because they had a rich father.
Itely upou the good name which is made
ltev UP0U
Jourt own , exertions ; and know that
better than the best friend you have, is
an unquestionable reputation uuucu witn
decision of character.
j Mr. Samuel Jcssup, aged sixty-five,
and rich, died lately in Lincolnshire,
England, lie was chiefly noted for the
iminenee quantity of pills he consumed.
i It was proven in a trial before the court
that in one year he took over fifty thou
t sand pills. It was shown that, besides,
! be had taken forty thousand different
! mixtures. All this was supplied to him
by oue apothecary, whose bill, presented
iu court, look up fifty -five closely-written
cjlumus.

weakness aboutthe knees, lhe "corpse
had raised the lid of the coffin and
was sitting bold upright in it. "Where
am I?" pays she. The matter was ex
plained to her briefly. Filled with anger,
illness having seemingly departed, she let
loose the floodgate of her passion at the
idea of being inclosed in such a contempti
ble receptacle. She had a thousand dol
lars when she went to the hospital, she
demanded to know where it had gone
that amount would have given her de
cent sepulture.
The attendants were unable to explain
the whereabouts of the missing moaey,
and the woman demanded to be restored
to herself once more, thafshe might pur
sue the thief who had robbed her, and
secure to hr body, if she were to die, de
cent burial. The "resurrected" one was
helped out of her narrow prison-house
aud taken to a more genial chamber.
Rut here another difficulty arose her
clothes had been destroyed. Suitable ap
parel, however, was furnished, and on
finding herself once more of the flesh, and
the blood, she insisted ou starting at once
in search of her husband, who she thought
and perhaps correctly was condoling
himself with her $1000. The surgeou,
observing that madam was comparatively
well, and thinking that it might do her
more harm to retain her than permit her
departure, had the iron gate opened for
her exit. Darkness had set in ere she
reached her husband's place of domiscila
tion. She knocked at the door, aud her
husbandopened it. With eyes fairly start
ing from their sockets hegazed-words fail
el him he was paralyzed with fear at the
supposed apparition. At length the
wife demanded why he had robbed her,
insisting at the same time that she was
not dead, as he no doubt hoped she was,
and she had come home he would find it
harder tbau that to get rid of her. The h us
band was too astonished, horrified to ba
licvc lib eyes, and he begged the "ghost"
to leave she might have the money, but
for God's sake to go away and not destroy
him. At this the man, with iear and
trembling, handed her the missing money,
which she took ; but she was not to be
driven from her home, and with a push
she opened the door and entered the
house. She had no sooucr done so than
her husband, minus coat and hat, rushed
out of the back door into the yard, and
over the fence, and that is the last that
either his wife or his friends have seen of
hiiu.
Too Sharp.
An amusing incident is toll of a wo
man iu England, whose husband, a
wealthy man, died suddenly, without
leaving any will. The widow, desirous of
securing the whole of the property, con
cealed her husband's death, and persuad
ed a shoemaker to take his place while
will could be made. Accordingly he was
closely muflled in bed, as if very jick, and
a lawyer was called in to write the will.
Tho shoemaker, in a feeble voice be
queathed half of all the property to the
widow. "U hat shall bo dono with the
remainder?" asked the lawyer. "ThejJau- wuu jytie rone horse, or so much
remainder," replied he; "I give and be-1 mroaa uia be nessary to satUfi sed gug

How to acquire Knowledge.
Young men would you be intelligent ?
Carry a book about you always. Not a
novel but a work of utility a work in
which you may read of realities. Would
you be wise ? Open aud read that book
whenever you have a moment of leisure.
I recollect to have read an anecdote of a
shoemaker even after he worked as a
journeyman, vho alway3 kept a book open
before him, so that he might not lose a
moment, but be preparing himself fjr fu
ture usefulness and the result was, that
he became not only one of the most emi
nent, but oue of the most ucfful rueu of
his day. Why my young fi tend, may you
not, by pursuing a similar course, also be
come emiuent aud useful to your country
and your fellow-men t Adopt the course
aud if you do not exceed the ex'ent of
your ambition. I will guarantee thatycu
will not be the worse mechanic or citizeu
for the experiment.
Mrs. Partington on Fashion.
" There is one thing sure," said Mrs.
Partington, " the fimales of the present
regeneration are a heap more independ
ent tbau they used to be. Why, I saw a
gal go by to day that I know belongs to
the historical class of society, with her
dress all tucked up to her knee, her hair
all buzzlcd up like as if she hadu't bad
time to comb it iu a week, nnd oue of
j her
grandmother's caps, in an awful
crumpled condition, on her head. Why,
laws, honey, when I was a gal if any ol
the fellows came tilong when I bad my
clothes tucked up that way, and my head
kivcrcd with an old white rag, 1 would
ruu for dear life, and hide out of sight.
Well, well, the gals were then innocent,
uncoufiscated creatures; now they are
what the French call 4 blazes.' "
