I Th is poem was written by the late Hon.' Daniel
8. Dickinson, a short time before hi death, and was
read from hi MS. at his funeral, atBinghamton :J
In youth' bright morn, when life was new,
And earth wo fresh with dew and flower,
And Ioto waa warm, and friendship true,
inu nope ana nappines were ours.
We started, hand in hand, to thread
The chequered, changeful path of life,
And with each other trusting tread
The battle-field of worldly itrifo. .
We ranged an walks obscure, unseen,
O'er rugged steep, through vale and glen,
And climbed along the hillsides green,
Unmindful of tho future then.
We caught the song of earliest bird,' -
Weeulled the loveliest flower of Spring, . ,
Wo plighted love in whispering words,
, Aud lime aped by on fairy wing.
And aa it passed, new joys were found,
And life was gladdcucd by tbo birth ''
Of prattling babes, who clustered round,
To cheer with smilo our hun bio hearth..
Fate thrust us forth before the world. . - , .
And phantoms whispered early fame,
Whcro nope' proud banner is unfurled, ' '
And happiness too oft a namo.
Thus lured along, we rodo the dark
And foaming tide of pubi io lifo, '
And proudly dared, with splendid bark,
The elements of storm and strife.
But storm and strife, thank Heaven ! have passed ;
' The night bas fled, and morning come !
And wo, tossed mariners, at last "
itcturnod onoo mora to hearth and homo.
But of the loved ones God hail given,
1 wo nave roiurnea two sunk to rest
Iu life's gay morning called to Heaven,
To tho bright mansions of the blest.
Thry sleep amidst Spring forest glades. .
Where Hows its streamlet's murmuring wave ;
And oft at evening's gentle shudes, '
11 111 weep uesiuo miir early graTCS. - '

"and a fut baby in the cradle."

said Bella,' pettishly. - "I've little enough
for myself and my husband, letting alone

"Why, mistress, isn't your husband in

"No ; he's at the ale-house."
"Why, how'a that ! he used to be very

"It runs in her family,", replied tho cob
bler, stitching busily, they are all so one

ot It, and Tolly's servant lias lour cousins
who are blind stone blind ; no eyes at all ;
and they sometimes come and help her.
I've Been them in the cottuee myself, and
that's how Pol'y gets a good deal of her

what they muke to market, and buys "all
those handsome things."
"Only think, said Bella, almost ready to
cry with vexation, and I've not got a soul
to do anything forme; how hard it Is!"
and she took, up her apron to wipe away
her tears.
The cobbler looked attentively at her.
"Well you are to be pitied, certainly," he
said, "and if I were not in such a hurry "
"O, do go on, pray were you going to
say you could help me? I've heard that
your people are fond of curds and whey,
and fresh gooseberry syllabub. Now, if
you would help me, trust me that there
should be the most beautiful curds and
whey set every night for you on the hearth ;
and - nobody should ever look when you
went aud came."
"Why, you see," said the cobbler," hesitat
Inor. "mv nconlo are cxtremclv particular
auout in siioit, ahout cleanliness mistress;
aud your house is not what one would call
very clean. No offence, I hope ?'
Bella blushed deeply "Well, but it
should be always clean if you would every
day of my life I would wash the floor, and
sand it, aud tho hearth should be white
washed as white as snow, and the win
dows cleaned."
"Well," said tho cobbler, seeming to con
sider, "well, then I should not wonder if I
could meet with a one-eyed servant for you,
like your neighbor's ; but it may bo several
days before I can ; and uiiud mistress, I'm
to have a dish of curd."
"Yes, and some whipped cream, too," re
plied Bella, full of joy.
The cobbler then took up all his tools,
wrapped them iu his leather npron, walked
behind the wall flower, and disappeared.
Bella was so delighted, she could not
sleep that night for joy. Her husband
scarcely knew the house, she had made it so
bright and clean ; and by night she had
washed the curtain, cleaned tho window
rubbed the fireirons, sanded the floor, and
set a great jug of hawthorn in blossom ou
the hearth.
The next morning Bella kept a sharp look
out both for the tiny cobbler aud on her
neighbor's house, to see whether she could
possibly catch a glimpse of tho one-eyed
servant. But no nothing could she see
but her neighbor sitting on her rocking-chair
with her baby on her kucc, working.
At Inst, when she was quite tired, she
heard the voice of the cobbler outside. She
ran to tho door, nnd cried out
"O do, pray, come in, sir, only look at my
house !"
"lieally," said the cobbler, looking round,
"I declare I should hardly have known it
the sun can shine brightly now through the
clear glass ; and what a sweet smell of haw
thorn 1"
"Well, and my one eyed servant ?" asked
Bella "you remember, 1 hope, that I cun't
pay, her any wages have you met with one
that will come ?"
"All's right," replied the little man nod
ding. I've got her with me."
"Hot her with you ?" repeated Bella, look
ing round, "I see nobody."
"Look, here she is 1" said the coblcr hold
ing tip something in his hand.
Would you believe it t the one eyed ser

When tho first developments concerning
trichina wero made, an excitement was cre
ated which threatened to rum yie pork busi
ness oi tho country. Subsequently it was
denied that there was any danger from this
new and terrible disease, aud Unit the whole
affair was merely sensational. The Illinois
Academy of Sciences, composed of tho most
distinguished physicians aud scientific men
Chicago, have lutely devoted a month to a
careful investigation of the subject. They
brought to their aid the science of chemistry
the most powerful microscopes, and all tho
appliances of the laboratory. Samples of
pork from all the great packing bouses in
Chicago were examined ; and the result is
the announcement that trichina exists in tho
"Western pork to a greater extent than in
Germany, where its .effects on human lifu
have been so fearful.
Tho gentlemen comprising tho Academy
of Sciences are of a character and standing
which precludes the idea of their being
either interested or incompetent to judge
correctly coriccrniag the mutter in question,
and their opinion, is, therefore, authority.
Thus it is settled beyond all dispute that
trichina does exist in western hogs, all repre
sentations to the contrary notwithstanding ;
but tho practical question that interests every
one, is whether it i safe to eat pork at all,
or whether the use of this very important
and almost Indispensable article of food
must be abandoned. The report says that
cases of trichiuiosis are exceedingly rare in
tho United States, "becauso of the American
system of thorough cooking"; that trichina
is never found in old American cured hams;
thul sausages are the most dangerous form
of swine's flesh ; that raw pork should never
be eaten iu any form ; that trichina exists
only iu lean meat and ia most numerous
along the backbone ; and that it is killed by
a heat of 100 tkgreea Fahrenheit.
The report assigns fllthiness in tho pens
where itoga are kept, aud in their foexl, as
the cause of trichina, and declares that it
will bo prevented by keeping the hogs where
they cannot come to the ground, nod feed
ing thcra on clean vegetable food. Farmers
who are interested in making pork will do
well to make a note of this, for if trichiuiosis
should prevail in this couutiy, tho pork
raiaiug business is dead.
The report recommends a system of micro
scopic inspection by regularly appointed
jidjcers ; and it concludes that there is no
occasion for a panic, but only for the exercise
of caution in eating imperfectly cookod
meats. JJrUyort (ConnS Standard.

A Nick Idea. A London lady, corres
ponding with her country cousins through
the medium of the press, mentions a novel,
beautiful and withal inexpensive, ornament
for tho dinner tablo. Bho says : "Talking of
(tinners, let me tell you ot a new idea. I
was present at a very rthercli$ entertainment
the other day, whcro I saw the following
arrangement for the centre of the table :
I here was a large square block of Wenham
Lake ice, weighing, I should say, at least
twenty-five pounds, which was placed on
glass castors, in a dish or trough of some
kind ; the dish was rendered quite invisible
by being entirely filled with moss, into
which soaked the water Vhich melted from
tho ice. Delicate ferns frinccd from the
edge, and bright-colored flowers were em
bedded in the moss, the foilago reaching
aoove mo lower cage 01 mo ice.
The object of raising t)ie block on castors
is to prevent the water liotn accelerating
the melting of tho mass. Over tho iccburg
there wcro two arches, prettily arranged,
crossing each other : they were, apparently
of cane, and were bound round by garlands
of flowers. The effect was enchanting. The
atmosphere was delightfully cooled; the
flowers wero kept fresh, antfthe sight of this
translucent mass wag fur prettier than the
most costly centra pieces of gold 'or silver
plate. I believe I am right iu stating that
this novel idea first made its appearauco at
the Orleans House, Twickenham. It can be
so readily adopted that I felt you would bo
glad of the suggestion.
Good Society. It should be the aim of
young men to go into good society. Wo do
not mean tho rich, the proud, tho fashiona
ble, but the society of the wisa, the intelli
gent, and tho good. Where you find men
know more than you do, and from whoso
conversation one can gain useful information
it is always safe to bo found. It has broken
down many a man by associating with the
low and vulgar where ribaldry was incul
cated, and tho indecent story, to excite
laughter influence tho bad passions. Lord
Clarendon has attributed his success and
happiness in life to associating with persons
more learned and virtues than himself. ' If
you wish to l'o respected, if you desire hap
piness and not misery, we advise you to as
sociate with the intelligent and good. Strive
for mental excellence and strict integrity,
nnd you will never be found in the sinks of
pollution, and on tho benches of retailers
and gamblers. Once habituate yourself to a
virtuous course a love of good society
and no punishment would be greater than
by accident to bo obliged for half a day to
associate with tho low and vulgar.
