The birds, when winter shades the sky,
Fly e'er thu seas away,
NVllece laughing isles in sunshine 110,
And suntuier breezes
And thus the friends that flutter near,
‘V bile fortune's sun is Warm,
Are sbirtleil if a cloud appear,
And fly before the storm.
But when from wititer's howling plains,
Each other warbler's past,
The Ihtie snow-bird still remains,
And chirrups 'midst the blast.
Lose. like that bird, when friendships throng
With fortune'S sun deport,
Still lingers with it, ehoerfbl song,

The Dud Transplanted.
Some years ngo a beautiful frail flower
sprung up iu a land which is separated
from our owu happy home by the blue
waves of the broad Atlantic; but in u clime
so ungenial, and in a soil so rough and
stony, it could not flourish, although water
ed by the tears of many kindred. Ere the
soft voice of Spring had visited it the third
time, the hue of its delicate leaf become
pallid ; and ss the wind whistled by, the
fragile stem snapped, even while the dew
drops lingered on the flower. But not for
ever was dropped its beauteous head, uor
was its frsgranee forever gone ; it was gath
ered for the Saviour's chaplet, there to
bloom in unblemished beauty when the
radiant sun shall be quenched, and the
fair moon and stars be veiled in eternal
night.
This beauteous bud was none other than
little Hannah —, the Dwelt-loved, first
born child of idolizing parents. The world
—where every thiner brings its thorn,
where every joy is mingled with pain,
where every smile is chased away by tears
—was not her home, nor were those fond
friends her companions ; but [leaven—the
bright abode or angels—was her dwelbug
place, and the cherubim and seraphim her
associates. Prom the time when her lips
first learned the name of her Creator, her
all-absorbing theme was God and !leaven,
and her young spirit seemed to pant for
joys more pure than these of earth and
W lon the weekly prayer meeting was
convened under her parents' roof, II() per
suasion could induce her to be absent, but
with a voice musical Ninth infant pleading
/die would say, "ll:inn:di loves to hear her
brother Burnham prem.!' and pray." Tho'
for. s'--hurt acason she knelt around the fam
ily altar, and her guileless heart beat in
unison with the pious breathings of Owl's
poople, it pus the will of the Saviour to
take her bonus; he only permitted her to
stay a few brief days on earth to show how
fair are the flowers that bloom in Heaven.
'When the •death shades were hanging over
!tor as she I.ty cradled in her mothet's
arms, she softly whispered, "kits, mother,
see the little girls are coming in white
frocks for your Hannah," and then dosed
h e r eyes, fur though the mother still held
the form, angels were wafting the spirit
home. They laid her iu the quiet church
yard, where the birds chanted her requi
em, and the nodding tross and lonely tom!).
Moues kept their vigils over her lowly
grave.
But ivliere now are the father and moth
er who long years ago laid their darling a
way to sleep ? That family has, we trust,
been re-united in Heaven, ma, as we hum
bly hope, the parents with two loved chil
dren have gone to meet their Hannah, nev
er more to be separated. There are three
of that family circle yet remaining upon
tiod's footstool, but not many years will
elapse before they too may be called away ;
and oh: if it should so please our Father
in Heaven, what a happy re-union will be
consummated, when amid the songs of an
gels that whole fatuity will, with united
hearts, kneel at the feet of the Lamb, while
their voices are attuned to the Music of
heaven.

Bashful Men.
BY MRS. WARY A. DENISON
We never yet saw a genuinely bashful
man who was not the., son! of honor.—
Though Buell may blush and stammer, and
shrug their shoulders awkwardly, unable to
throw forth with case the thoughts that
they would express, yet commend them to
us for friends.
There are fine touches in their charac
ters which time will mellow and bring out;
perceptions as delicate as the fait,tcst tint
is to the unfolding rose ; and their thoughts
arc none the less refined and beautiful that
they do not flow with the impetuosity of
the shallow streamlet.
We are astonished that such men aro
not appreciated; that ladies with really
good hearts and cultivated intellects, will
reward the Sir 111ustacio Brainless with
smiles and attentions, because ho can fold
a shawl gracefully,and handle compliments
with a Parisian elegance, while they will
not condescend to look upon the worthier
man who feels for them a reverence so
great that his very mute gleam is worship.
The man who is bashful in the presence
of ladies, is their defender when the loose
tongue of the slanderer would defame them.
It is nut he who boasts of conquests, or
dares to talk glibly of failings that exist
in his imagination alone; his check will
flush with resentment, his eye flash with
auger, to hear the name of woman coupled
with a coarse oath ; and yet be who would
die to defend them, is least honored by the
majority (sloe r sex.
NV ho evcr Is.:arsl of a 'bashful libertine
The anomaly was never seen. Ease and
elegance are Isis requisites; upon his lips
sits flattery ready to 'play court alike to
blue eyes anti black ; he is never non-pluss
ed, he never blushes. For a glance he is
in raptures ; for a word he would professed
ly lay down his life. Yet it is he who tills
our wild city dens with wrecks of female
purity ; it is Ise who profanes the holy
name of neither, desolates the shrine where
domestio happiness is throned; ruins the
heart that trusts in him ; pollutes the very
air he breathes, and all under the mask of
a polished gentleman.
Ladies, a word in your car ; have you
lovers, and would you possum a worthy
husband .! Choose lihn whose delicacy 'of
deportment, whose sense of your worth,
leads him to stand aloof, while others crowd
around you. If he blushes, stammers
even, ut your approach, consider them as
so many signs of Isis exalted opinion of
your sex. if he is retiring and modest,
let not a thousand fortunes weigh down in
the balance, for depend upon it, with him
your life will be happier with poverty, than
with many another surrounded by the splen.

live, but no further. To my view, insani
ty is the darkest, the most [(palling of all
earthly calamities; but how much better is
an ()Id age that drivels and wanders, and
misunderstands and forgets? When the
soul shall have I).m)me choked and smoth

habitation, I should prefer to inhabit that

to stand shuddering and trembling on the

when Faith assures sue that a new Eden
stretches green and fair beyond it, and that
the baptism it invites will cleanse the soul
of all that now chigs, clouds, and weighs it
to the earth. No ! when the whitlows of

growth of the soul here shall have been ar
rested, I would not weakly cling to the
earth which will have ceased to nourish
and uphold me. Rather "lot the gulden

go down ere the dusky vapors shroud its
horizon; let me close my eyes calmly on

GETTYSBURG, PA., FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBERIO,IBSt-
Sabbath.
The popular religions sentiment sets a
side w seventh day from the common avo
cations of life. Faintly reseniblatit and
much distorted indeed, yet we find it—the
Sabbath of the Christians—is observed on
Monday by the Greeks, on Tuesday by the
Persians, on Wednesday by the Assyrians,
on Thursday by the Egyptians, on Friday
by the Turks, and on Saturday by the
dews. Indeed wo have yet to learn that
there exists upon the face of the earth a
tribe that does not observe some sort of a
Sabbath—some fashion of a rust day.—
And when infidel rulers have abolished
the Sabbath by legal enactments, the cra
ving for periodical rest, stouter than athe
istic commandments or human wickedness,
has forced the experimentalist to annul
his edicts, and give back to the people their
Sabbath, or at least, its image. When na
tions or individuals have attempted to live
without it, a visible curse has hung over all
their course, and sooner or later frustrated
their most sanguine expectations.—N.
Times.
The young Mon of the Age.
Not long since, we saw a tear glittering
in the eye of an old man, as he spoke of
the past and the presel—of the time when
ho burned pine knots uPeu the rude home
hearth for light, to obtain a scanty educa
tion, and compared the ten thousand priv-
Hips which are now scattered broadcast
around every door. ''Oh," said lie, "the
young of this day do not appreciate the
light of the age they live in." Thu words
of the old man made us sad, while at the
same time we felt mortified that so many of
our youths fail to improve the advantages
within their reach. They are even con
tinually muttering about their lot, and
pushing for positions where they can win
the reward without the sweckniug, puri
fying, emboldening sacrifice of toil. The
miscalled enjoyments of a day arc eagerly
sought after to the exclusion or neglect of
the more honorable, intellectual and use-
ful. la truth, few of our young mon know
anything of the value of the privileges a
round them.
WEBSTER'S I STELLECT.—An exchange
paper compares Webster's intellect to that
which Milton drew whertim says:
"with grave
Aspect ho rose ; and in his rising seemed
A pillar of State. Deep on his front engravcn
Deliberation sate, and public rate ;
And princely counsel ir. his visage shown
sjestic • • " same he stood
Witt A thinteen shonbienrtit to-bear
The weight of empires ; and his look
Drew audience and attention cull as night
Or HUIIIIIIOI -' l4 noontide air."
LANGUAGE OF TIIE LAW.—If a Mall
would, according to law, give to another
an orange, instead of saying, "1 give you
this orange," which ono would think
would ha what is called in legal phraseolo
gy -an absolute conveyance of all right
and title therein," the phrase would run
thus : ' , I give you all and singular toy in
terest, right, title, and claim, of advantage
of and in that orange, with all rind, skin,
juice, pulp and pips, and right and advan
tages therein, with full power to bite, cut,
suck, and otherwise eat the same, or give
the same away. as fully and effectually as
1, the said A. 11., ant now inclined to bite,
cut, suck, or otherwise eat the same orange
or give the same away, with or without its
rind, skin, juice, pulp or pips, anything
heretofore or hereinafter, or in othet deed
or deeds, instrument or instruments, of
what nature or kind roever, to the contra
ry in anywise notwithstanding;" with
much more to the same effect. Such is
the language of lawyers ; and it is gravely
held by the most learned men among them,
that by the omission of any of these words,
the right to the said orange would not
pass to the person for whose use the same
was-intended.
A CLocK.—Mr. J. H. Hawes, n resi
dent (dour village, has just received a new
ly-invented "CAlentlar Clock," which is,
beyond all doubt, a very ingenious and con
venient article. The clock will run fur
one year without winding or setting, and, in
addition mint value as a correct time-piece,
its calendar exhibits the month, the day of
the week, and the year. The machinery
of the clock is simple, and Its movements
are strictly accurate. Its designation of
the day of the month is surprising. For
the months having but 30 days it denotes
that number, and so for 11 days, while
for February it points to only 28, "except
for leap year 20."' We understand the
inventor And tWo other gentlemen of our
village intend immediately to enter upon
the manufacture of these clocks upon a
large scale. There is money in the inven
tion, and we are glad our citizens ere en
tering on the 'project.—lthaca (N. Y.)

The Red Ear; or the 'Nothing
Erode:
BY T. 8. ART4UII
In the rural districts, the merry makings
have a natural heartiness about them nev
er seen in the cities, towns, nor villages ;
overweening self-respect has not come in
to letter the motions of the body, nor to
smother the !align of its free utterance.—
Feelings and actions are in clime relation
ship. You come nearer to nature, un
tramelled by custom and unaffected by art.
A merry making par excellence is a New
England husking frolic. The husking
frolic at tile Smith is a different affair alto
gether. There it is a congregation of ne
greet; front various plantations' near at
hand, who, while they work, make the
air vocal for miles around with their rude
melodies, a few of which have been ren
dered familiar to ears polite by the "Sere
ruttier.," who have an highly amused the
public during the last two or three years.
But, at the Forth, the "husking." like the I
quilting, draws together the gentle maidens
and loving eivains'of a neighhorhimd, who
meet to enjoy themselves in their own
way. And such enjoyment as they have,
in kind and degree, is not to be met with
every day. Informer times the "husking . "
was a wilder affair titan at present.—
Straight-faced conventionality is gradually
finding its way beyond the city limits, and
binding the free spirits of our country
maidens. They !fleet oftener,
,with the
city folks, gradually falling more and more
into their',ltabiu as they partake more and
more of their spirit; and when they as
semble for enjoyment, they check their
impulses, restrain their movements, end
hush almost into silence the merry laugh
ter that seeks to leap lorth like the sing
ing waters of the lotintain. No ; "flesh
ings" are not what they were. Instead of
seeing on the threshing floor a troop of
young men and maidens, stripping front
the bright ears of grain their leafy cover
ing, amid laughter, music and the ming
ling of sweet voices of old, mete labor
comes ill too ofieu to perform the service,
and silently and coldly does the work.—
Yet, here and there, a farmer who cannot
forgot the pleasant times when he was
young, sends forth• his actual summons af
ter the maize harvest is gathered, and then
comes a merry making for old and young
Maris enjoyed in a way never to be for
gotten.
Old Ephraim Bradley was "a man of

giving, almost a sacred thing, half invol
ving sin in its omission.
Kate Mayflower, a wild romp of a girl
from Boston—at least some in tie city re
garded her as such—was spending a few
wee k s in when invitations came to
tonnithst husking. party at Ephraim-Brad
ley's. The old man lived some three
miles from the village. Kale had heard
about husking parties ; and her young
spirits leaped up when the announcement
was made that one was to be held in the
neighborhood, and that she was invited to
be present. It was a frolic that, front all
she had heard, would just suit her temper
ament, and she set off, when the time came,
to make one of the party in the merriest
possible mood.
Evening had closed os the arrival of the
party from D—, wla) quickly joined
some score or two you% people in the
large kitchen, where lay heaped up in the
centre a huge pile of Indian corn.
•All that to be hacked ?" whispered
Kate, as she entered the room.
0011 yes ! all that and more, perhaps;"
was the smiling reply. "We have come
to work, you know."
"Now, gals," said dd Mr. Bradley,
who stood looking on, at the young folks
gathered with bright fuels around the gol
den grain, •now for a pod old fashioned
time. If there are not half a dozen wed
dings between this and Christmas, I shall
say there is no virtue in iztl ears."
As he ceased, down dropped, amid gay
voices and laughter, the whole company
upon the floor, in all the graceful and un
graceful positions, in a circle around the
pile of corn. Kate alma remained stand
ing, for ' , he movement was so sudden that
she Meld not act with it.
"Here's mom for you, Kate," cried one
of the girls who had come with her, mak
ing a place by her side, and down sank
Kate, feeling for the first time, a little
awkard and confused. Beside her was a
stout, rough country youth, whose face
was all merriment, and whose eyei, were
dancing with anticipated pleasure. The
city girl eyed his ron4h brown hands,
coarse garments, and unpolished face,
with a slight feeling of repulsion. and
drew a little from him towards her
friend.
"Oh, plenty of room. Mils ! plenty of

ptraiglit-backed, flag bottomed chair stood
near, and unwilling to trust herself again
upon the floor, Kate drew that into the
circle, and seated herself close to the
pile of corn just as the young man had com
pleted his task of kissing every one iu the
room.
..First rate, that !" said he, smacking but
lips, as be threw himself at her feet.—
..Wasn't I lueky
Kate's indignation had, by this time, all
melted away under a lively sense of the
ludicrous, and she could not help laughing
with the merriest. Soon another red ear
was announced, and then the kissing com
tnenced again. Such'itruggling, wrestling;
screaming, and laughing, Kate had neve r
heard nor seen. The young man who
held the prize had ad the nerve required to
go through with his part, ay Kate clearly
proved when it came to her turn to receive
a sal ate, The struggle was long and well
sustained on the part of the maiden; but
her fate was to be kissed by a rough coun
tryman whom she never met before. The
.doed was done, and Then the• blushing,
panting girl, was led back in triumph i
to the room from which she had es
owed.
Red ears were in plenty that evening.—
It was shrewdly guessed that every young
man had (mine with at least two in his
pockets. for all the girls avowed that never
before had farmer Bradley's field of corn
produced so many, As tor Kate, she Was
kissed, until—as she alledged to her
friend—making a virtue of necessity. she
eu omitted with the kindliest grace imagi
nable ; and, if the truth must be told, en
.o.y_ed the frolic with as lively a zest as any
one present.
At length the great pile of corn disap
peared, and the CUM pasty arranged -them
selves for dancing ; bnt they had hardly
been on the floor ball an hour, when supper
was announced-4nd such a supper as it
was! Nu pyramids of ice cream, or
candied oranges. No meek nor real tur
tle; nor oyiners in a dozen styles, Tur
keys were there, but not scientifically "bo
ned." No there were none of the- fash
ionable city delicacies ; but, Instead, a "gi
gantic round of beer in the centre of the
table was fbiliTted on either side with veg
etables. A Wearing junk of corned beef
was at one end, and a big chicken pie at
the other. An Indian pudding, of ample
dimensions, stood forth between the mid
dle and end of the dishes, and a giant pot
of beam loomed up on the other side ;
while pumpkin pies, apple sauce, and
a host oh ether " fixings ' tilled up the
spaces.
This was the bill of fare for the evening,
and our city belle looked on with new sur
prise as she saw the articles disappearing
one after another, like 'frost work on win
dow panes at sunrise. If the good wife
did not say on this, as Was said on a simi
lar occasion, "Lay hold, and help your

••Soon after the supper was over, all
the girls lent a hand, and the table wits
cleared away in a jiffy. llhoilman's buff
