My mothers's voice, how often creep
Its cadence on my lonely hours!
Like healing on the wings of sleep,
Or deveon the nitconmiona flowers.
I might forget, her melting prayer.
While pletteure's pulses madly fly :
Du; in the still unbroken air
Her gentle. tones come steeling by ;
And years of sin and manhood flee,
And learn me It my mother's knee.
The booh of !Nature, and its print
Of beauty on the whieering
Give atilt to me some lineament
Orwhet I have been taught to be.
My heart is hanker, andpertaape
My manliness has drunk up tears,
And there's a mildew in the lapse
Of a few miserable years ;
But Nature's hook is even yet
With all my Inothers's lemons writ.
I have been out st eventide,
Beneath a moonlight sky of Spring,
Whet mirth was garnished like a bird,
And night had on her silver wing;
When bursting buds and growing gnus,
And waters leaping to the light.
And all that makeadhe pulses our
With wild deo:leas, thronged the night—
Whorl all was be auty, then lista!,
With friends / on whom my love is flung,
Like myrrh'on ;singe 1 Araby,
Gazed upon where *venires lamp is hung.
And when the beat:lions spirit there
Flung over all its golden chain,
My mother's voice came oil the air,
Like the light dropping of the rain;
And, resting on some silver star
The spirit of a bonded knee;
I've poined s deep and fervent prayer
That our eternity might be—
To Aso in heaven, like stars at night,
And treed a living path of light.
THE OLD WORLD
T stenos Leer.
There was once a world and a bravo old world,
Away in the ancient time,
When the won were brave and the women fair,
And the world was in its prime ;
And the priest he had his book,
And the scholar Mid his gown,.
And tbe old knight stout he walked about
With his broad sword hanging down.
You may see this world was a brave old world,
• firth° days long past and gone,
And the sun It shone, and the rain it rained,
And the world went merrily on.
The Shepherd kept his sheep,
And the milkinaid milked the kine,
And the servant-man was a sturdy loon
In a cap and doublet fine.
And I've been told in this brave old world
There were jolly times and free,
And they danced and sung, till the welkin rung,
All under the greenwood tree.
The sexton Chinn," his sweet, sweet bells,
And the huntsman blew his horn.
And the bunt went out, with a merry shout,
Beneath the Jovial morn.
Oh, the golden days of the breve old world
M sdo hall and cottage shine,
The squire he sat in his oaken chair,
And quaff d the good red wine;
The lovely village maiden,
She was the village queen,
And, by the inan, tripped through the grass
To the May-pole on the green.
When trumpets roused this breve old world,
And banners thtuntial wide,
The knight bestrode his stalwart steed,
And the paw , rude by his side.
And plumes and pennons naming bright,
I)ssinst through the wild melee,
And he who pressed amid them best,
Was lord of all that day.
The ladies fair. in the brave old world,
They ruled with wondrous sway,
But the stoutest knight, he was lord of right,
As the strangest is to-dey.
The beret bold he kept his hold,
Her bower his bright h.dye,
But the foreseer kept the goad greenwoud
All tauter thu forest true.

have read of a ) oung mother who had new
ly buried her first born. Her pastor went
to visit her, and, on finding her. sweetly
resigned, he asked her how she had at.
mined such resignation. She replied, " I
used to think of my boy contirtually, wheth
er sleeping or waking ; to me he seemed
more beautiful than other children. I was
disappointed if visitors omitted to praise
his eyes, or his curls, or the robes that I
wrought for.him with my needle. At first
I believed it the natural current of a mo
ther's love. Then I feared it was pride,
and sought to humble myself before him
who resisted' the proud. One night in
dreams I thought an angel stood beside
me, and said, W here is the little bud
thou nurses% in thy bosom lam sent to
take him away ! Where is thy little harp I
Give it to me ! It in like those which
sound the praise of God in heaven ! ' I
awoke in teaas; my beautiful boy drooped
like a bud which the worm pierces; hie
last wailing was like the sad music from
shattered hamstrings ; all my world seem=
ed gone ; still in toy agony I listened, for
there was a ,votee nay soul, like the
voice of the angel who had warned me,
saying, • Owl loveth a cheerful giver.' I
laid my mouth in the dust and said, ',let
thy will be mine ; ' and as 1 arose, though
the tear lay on my cheek, there was a
smile also. Since then this voice his been
heard amid the duties of every day—me
thinks it says continually, the cheerful
giver.' "

"Going ahead ! Don t you see I" s aid
"Yes, ",says I ; "I reckon we had better
take different roads, else only ono of us
will sell any tin. What say you t"
"Yes, we will. Yon may go ahead and
sell all you can, and then I'll sell as much

"Why, will you sell as much cheaper I"
"No. I'll get more for every article."
"Well, I don't see bow you can do it."
"Try it, spelll show you. I'll stop
here while you drive to that house yonder,

"How far is it to a tavern f"
"Half a mile," said the old man. -
"I'm as dry as a codfish. I'll take some
of your water," walking up to a table, and
taking up a pewter mug, "Oh," said he,
"it is cider ;" making believe that he was
going to set it down.
"Drink it," said the old man ; and he
"That's royal good cider ; you make
that for your own use ; can't buy such as
that : If I had a barrel of that in Boston,
I'd get five dollars for it. How did you
make it ?"
"Made it out of apples."
"Did you Well, they must have been

"No."

"Yea, I've got five pair of linen sheets

THE DEAD LETTER OFFICE
The Howe Jetenel relates the following siege.
far incident; which it hie hem Hon. Frank Oren
gey, es having weaned When he wu et the heel
of the Poet Office Department
A letter was one day. received from the
postmaster of a town' in New Jersey, en.
closing a letter very old amt. dingy, and cov
ered with fly.speoe in every part, except
where a tape had passed over it, indicating
that it bad been :fora long time placed in
the paper or card rack of some bar-room
or shop. The superscription, thr there evt
er had been any, bad entirely faded away.
The postmaster wrote thathe had found it
in his letter box, and had tried in vain to
discover who had deposited it there, in or
der that It might receive a proper direction
it apparently contained money. As' it
bad not been advertised, it was not in
strietnese, a dead letter; but he seat it tti
the department in order that they might
dispose of it. The Postmaster General.
took the responsibility of opening it, 'and
found that it was dates at. Philadelphia, in
the year 1821, (20 years befora) and ens
closed a $2O bill of Ate U.S..Bank. it
was addressed by a man, to his wife at a
small village not fa; from the post office,
where the letter was found, informing be;
that he (the writer) should start for home
in two or three days ; but that as his ttroth
er was about to leave for home, he took id
vantage of the opportunity to send her by
him the enclosed sum of money wherewith
to make preparations for an approaching
wedding..
The Postmaster General caused a letter
to be written to the address of the writer;
informing him of the circumstances. In
the course of a • week, a reply was retteriv
ed from a female, who Mated that the wri.
ter of the letter waster father, and the one
to whom it was addressed-was her moth=
er, both of whom were dead—that, twenty
years before, on the eve of her own
wed

uncle had quarrelled, the former having
been led, front Come' suspicions circuit.
stances, to discredit the litter's assertion
that he had lost a letter containing stoney
entrusted to his care, and to insinuate OUR
he had appropriated the amount to his owe
use. The consequence was, that all in•
tercourso betwein the families had from
that time been suspended; and tfiiii she
should immediately write to her uncle and
cousins, -who were still living at a distance,
to lfeg that the intercourse and friendship
so long interrupted might be resumed ; the
discovery of this letter having satisfied her
of what she had long suspected, that her
fattier was wrong, and relieved her mind
from a weight of painful anxiety.
Whether auy further clue to the manner
in which the letter had arrived at so late a
period wab ever ascertained, la not kin►wn ;
the probability is,lhai the letter had been
picked up at or near some country tavern
on the road, and was placed, with the va
riety of business cards and miscellaneenti
papers which usually fill the tapes over
the mantel-piece of such a place, and there
it had remained from year to year, perhaps
concealed from notice by other papers and
letters, until, on a change of landlords, or
an improvement of the house, the landlord
had disposed of it by depositing it in the
nearest post-office.
How TO CATCH HAWKII.- . —The follow
ing ingenious method fot destroying these
pests to the farmer is given by S. WEBB,
Esq., of Waldo county. Maine, in a late
number uf the Belfast Republican:
"Erect a pole twelve or fifteen feet high
in a place where there will not be any
thing else for them to light upon, and set
upon it a common fox-trap, on which they
wilt alight. A. strong rat trap will answer
the purpose by tying it to the pole.length
wise, with the jaws raised above the end.
the pole being a little leaning, so that the
jaws will not fall together. When one
hawk is taken, tie it on the ground neer the
pole. and its mate will be in the trap in a
short time. The season is near for the
hawks to re-appear, and, if farmers do not
wish to have their chickens deetnayed` by
them, they will do well to adopt this meth =
od of putting a stop to their depretlatlime."

are perhaps, aware that by the new fast
press of these manufacturers, with four
feeders, the New . York Sun is now ena
bled to print from 7,000 to 8,000 impres
sions per hour ; but the, new Tribune press
is to have six feeders, and work from 13,-
000 to 15,000, , per hour, Beside this, it
is to fly its own sheets, thus saving the
expense of six, fly-boys and is to be large
enough to work the Tribune double, and
will cut the sheets off itself as they come
