The Little Boy that Died.
[Dr. Chalmers is said to be the author of the
following beautiful poem, 'Written on the occasion
of the ditath of a young son whom he greatly
loved:1 •
I sin all alone In my chamber now,
And the midnight hour N near ;
And the faugot's crack at the clockidull tick

Sweet feelings of *athlete glide,
Far my heir( and my eyes are full when I think
Of the little boy that died.
I went one night to my father's holm—
Went home to the dear ones all—
And softly I opened the garden gate.
And tautly the dour of the ball ;
My !Teethe; came out to meet her son •
She kissed me, and then she sighed,
Atid;her head fell on my neck, and she wept

I shall miss him when the flowers come,
In the garden where he played ;
I shall miss hem more by the fireside,
Whep tne Rowers here all decayed.
I shall see his toys and hie empty chair,
And the horse he nerd to ride ;
And they will speak with a edli•nt speech
Of the little by that died.
We shall co home to our rather's housa
To our Father's house in the slits,
Where the hope df our souls shall hare no blight,
Our love oo broken ties.
We shall roarn on the banks of thsriver of peace,
And bathe in its blis.fnl tide;

Importance of Triftem
One of the earliost founders of the cot
ton trade, in England, purchased an estate
in a neighboring country, from a peer, for
several hundred thousand pounds. The
house with its furniture was to remain
precisely as it stood. When the purelia•
ser took possession be missed a small cab
inet from the hall, worth some three or
four pounds. He applied to C. 0.: late own
er about it.
"Well," said the noble lord, certain
ly did order it to be removed. It is au
old family cabinet, worth more from its as
sociations than anything else; I hardly
thought you would have cared for sd
ui
fliug a matter in so large a pureltase."
n.Nly lord," uas the cloiractinistiei an
swer, "if I had not all my Ile attend:: I to
trifles, I should nut have been able to pur•
chase this estate ; and excuse mu for say
ing so, perhaps if your lordsuip load cared
more about trifl-s you might nut have
been obliged to sell it."

BIBLE ANECDOTE.-a. poor shepherd

family, for whose wants he provided with
very great difficulty, purchased last sum
mer from a dealer in old clothes, furniture,
an old Bible, with a view to occupy
hie leisure evenings during the present
winter. Sunday evening, as he was turn
ing over the leaves, he noticed thatseveral
of the leaves were pasted together. He
immediately set himself to work with
great care to separate those leaves ; but one
can scarcely form a conception of UM sur
prise of the man when he fdund thus care

the pages were the words : gathered

GOOD Amonox.--Girls; let us tell you a
stubborn truth. No young woman ever
looked so well to a sensible man, as when
dressed in a neat, plain, modest attire,
without a single ornament about her
person. She looks then, as though stio
possessed worth in herself, and needed no
artificial rigging to enhance her value. If
a young woman would spend as much time
in cultivating her mind, training her tom-
per, and cherishing kindness, meekness.
mercy, and other good qualities, as most
of them do in extra dress suglotrisments
to increase their „personal charms, she
would, at:
,a glance, be knoWn among a
thousand. Her character would be read
in her eounteninee.

"Push Along--Keep Moving I"
Such is the cry of progress everywhere.
It is the watchword of the nineteenth con•
tury ; written on every banner carved on
every blade, bfted in the wise of Human
Advancement.
'Push along—keep moving ?" There's
a whole volume of good counsel in these
words. To the yeutth, just setting oat in
life, they are of infinite value; they have
an omniscient influence, girding the soul
with everlasting vigor. It' the arm grows
weary and the heart faint, they tinge the
future with the hues of triumph, and lead
on the feet with hopeful strength. If ob
stacles rise in the wav,"Push along—keep
moving," from the -lips of hope, is better
than a Datnasens blade in hewing out a
path to victory.
"Push along 1" What if clouds, thick
end heavy, are stretched out before you 1
—" ), -)ush along 1" What if your eyes see
signs of victory, no gletims of hope 7
"push along I"—the wreath will yet de
scend. What if Death stride into your
household rine, and break all the shrines
of your idolatry ? Mourn not hopeless
ly, look nut always back—let the past
bury its dead—"push along—keep trios.-
ing !"
'•Keep snoring 1" Nature cries it with
tier ten thousand tongues—the u n iverse,
as it rolls continually onward, echoes back
the cry—"push along !" "Keep moving"
—what your haul fintleth to do, do it
with all yo'lr uti A lit--pause not, rest not
—"push along 1" It goes round the
world like a trumpet-call, rousing up the'
slumbering, strengthening the weak, in
spiring the fearful, urging the strong to
th!niinual coterie:4. It is everywhere the
sa.aic—the spring and fountain of all true ,
procress.
Young man ! if you would conquer in the
battle of life, write this watchword upon
your bituues—"Push along—keep sully
ing."
The Pink Tree.
In a narrative of travels on the Amason
and Rio Negro, just published, Mr. Wal
lace de-cribes an extraordinary tree, culled
the milk tree, which was uric of the first
won lers he saw near Para. Tho fruit is
eatable, and full ofjuicy pulp ; but stran
gest of all is the vegetable milk, which ex
uded in abundance when the bark was cut .
It was about th e consistency of thick
cream, and, but for a slight peculiar taste,
could hardly be distinguished from the
genuine product of the cow. Mr. Leavens
ordered a man to tap some logs that had
lain nearly a month in the yard. He cut
several notches in the bark with an axe,
audit' a minute, the rich sap was running
out in great quantities. It was collected
in a ba,in, diluted io water, strained and
brought up at tea tilde, and at breakfast
next mottling. The peculiar flavor of the
milk seemed rather to improve the quality
of th e t ea , and gave it as good a color as
rich cream ; in ooffee it is equally good.
The milk is slsci,,u.ed for glue, and it is
said to be us durable as that used by zar
penters.
: ANEODOTE.—The fallowing anecdote
used to he related of the Riau. Joretutuia
Mown. of N..fw HampAire, and to said to
have occurred at Portsmouth : There is a
w , ll known cu•deru prevailing iii our crim
inal courts assigning counsel to such pris
oners as have no one to defend them. Ou
one oce.,sion, the court Ending a man so
coned of theft, t ad without counsel, said
to a wag of a lawyer who was pre.eut,
'•Mr. . please withdraw with the
pri.oner, confer with him, and, give him
such coutisel as may be best for hii inter
est.'"The lawyer and client withdrew ;
fifteen tuinut.*l the lawyer returned into
the court alone. "He has gone : your
honor told me to give him the Lest advice I
could for his it.t.erest ; and us he said he
was guilty, I t:aouglit the best counsel I
could offer him, was to 'out and run,' which
ho took at onto."
ONE OP THE JUDOEB.—"Our Daniel"
remarked the other day, that the next time
he put up at a hotel, he would enter his
name as "Daniel Sharp, Judge."
We asked him (says en exchange) if he
had tried it, and he replied:—
"Yes, I tried it once and it worked like
a charm. I h.ttl the hest accommodations
in the house for about a week, without
any expense, till one day the landlord
touched me on theitrin : says he—
" You ate Judge of Probate, are you
not r'
"N ,, ," I replied.
"Not of the Supreme Court, certain-
ly ?" •
"No,'' rejoined 1, "not of any court."
"Of what are you Judge then r contin
ued he. thinking of the many glitins' he
bad sent up to my room.
"I am Judge," I pompously replied, "of
good living !"
MEN WEARING SHAWLS.-A corres
pondent directs our attention to a most
unbecoming article of dress worn by some
of the young bloods about town. Theso
young exotics finding the apparel of man
hood unsuited to their effeminate nature
have adopted the habits of women. They
are seen strutting about with their dandy
shoulders ootered with shawls, and looking
like hallbreed Indians or Alaskan "grei
sere' Where these esquisites got the
fashion from is a matter of vague
,conjeo
ture—the general impression being that
the shawl wearing matt belongs to that
class of bipeds of whom it is said :
"Th e dandy Is a man orho would.
Be a young lady it ha could ;
But 'mho can't, does all he can,
To show th e world hes not a Dann."

Thetis wet a day when Talleyrand sr
rived in Havre, hot foot from Paris. It
teas the darkest hour of the French revo
lution. Punned by the blood hounds of
the Reign of Terror, stripped of every
wreck of property or power. Palleyrand
eecured a passage to America in a ship
about to sail. He way a beggar and a
wanderer to a strange lend to earn big
daily bread by daily labor. ' •
"Is There an American staying at your
house t" he asked the laailloril of the
hold.. •'I am humid to cross the water,
and would like a letter to tpsrsunof
entre in the New world."
The landlord Jimmied a Ininnent, then
! replied
1 , °There is a gentleman up stairs. either
from America or Biitain, but whether an
American or Englishman. I cannot tell."
He poured the way, and Telleyrand,
who in his life was Bishop. Pripet, and
Prime Minister. wended. A miser*.
We suppliant he stood before - the strati
ger7s door, knocked and entered.
In the far corner of e dimly lighted
room, sat a man of motile flay years, his
arms folded and his head bowed on his
Jir,..east. From n window directly oppo
site, a flo o d of light poured over his lore
head. His eves looked from beneath his
dowileast brows anti gazed upon Talley
rnil's face with a peculiar and swelling
expression. His lace was striking iii
; the mouth and chin indicative of an
iron will. His form, vigorous, even whim'
the snow of fifty winters, was clad in •
dark hut rich and distinguished costume.
Talley rand advanced—stated that he
was a fugitive—and under the inipree,
stun that time gentleman before him
an American, he solicited his kind and,

room, "your name t"• .
"3ly mone"—but he replied with a
smile that had more wickety than joy in
its nonvulvive expreasion—"my name is

He wait gone. Talleyrand sank into
a eltkiygiteping the words—
" Arnold, the traitor."
Thug you see be wandered over the
earth another Cain. with a wanderer's
mark upon his brow. Even in that se.
eluded room at that luau in Havre, his

The last twenty years of his life are
covered with a clued from whose dark
ness but a few gleams of light flashed out
upon the page of history.
The manner of his death is not exactly
known. But we cannot doubt that lie
died utterly friendleas—that remorse pur

Oa the , Disease saittlPregoirvattoa
of tbe Potatoes.
It is now wore than ten years. we be

disease" first appeared in nnr country, and
every year sines then. although teeny
plans have been tried to prevent it, it►
ravages have always been more nr less
manifested in every 'mason, and in Pion"
inure fatally and universally than the pro
tint, excepting the terrible year of HMG.
when it way be said to have been the
means of depeopleing Ireland of more
than, two million* of inhabitants. This
disease has not'been confined to any h,.

We have publiehed, much Useful i protium

'Plicy are as follows

of any parasitical insect.
2. That it is the effect of mi. epertiee"tif

practicable, should be replaced with fresh

and would cost but little even if carried

. The manttre recommended hers is that
of plenter and suchlike substances. The
experiments mentioned can easily be
made, and should be instituted so as to test
them thoroughly. The manner Mena.
mended of storing potatoes can be easily
tried by our farmers this winter and we
hop*. it will ha by many. It can do no
harm; and will involve no expense worth
mentioning.-- &traffic American.
