Tennyson, in his poem of "!Fatima," re

"0. sharper than a serpent's tooth it is,
To have a thankless child."'
"I suppose I must go down and see the
uld folkn pretty soon, but it is a dull job,"
said a fashiouebty dressed young man to
me, on evening. "Tbe country is so
dull, ;after living in the city, that I dread
to go there ; there is nothing to look at,
and nowhere to go ; but mother is gettog
pretty , feeble, and I ought to go I"
I perceived that the "old folks" he so
disrespectfully spoke of, wore no other
than his own father and mother.
"I could get along with one day well
enough," ho said, "but the old folks an
never satisfied unless I stay a week, or
three or four dayt, and I get heart-sick of
it, it is so dull. I used to go and see
them once or twice a year, but now it is
between two and three years since I have
been there. I could go oftener, but it is
:too tedious ; and then they make so much
of Mg, and cry so when they see me, that
it makes me feel bad, because I do not 4 go
as much as I ought ; so sometimes I think
I will not go at all." •
How little had this careless son thought
of his aged parents, and yet how daily,
how' hourlylad those aged parents thoUght
of him, and how many fervent prayers
had ascended to God for him from that
quiet fireside. He knew not how many
evils those prayers had averted from his
ungrateful bead, of how many , blessings
they hapotired upon him.
But all sons are not thus ungratefnl.—
A young friend' of mine who has resi
ded sixteen years 'in the seine great me-.
tropulis, has never failed twice 'rr year to
visit his parents. and goes often, or when
ever it is possible fur him to leave his bu
siness. I accidentally saw a letter he had
addressed to a sister a short time since.
which shows that a young man can be
immersed in extensive business, and yet
find tittle to love and venerate his mother.
"I received a short note Irmo mother,"
he writes, after hearing that she was ill.
"I am fearful- she is not improving. If
she is any worse, or becomes dangerously
sick, I desire to know it. I dread the
thought that our, mother cannot be spared
to us. many years—at best—it may be but
a few mouths. I have thought of it very
much for a few weeks. Although she has
lived nearly her threescore and ten, and
nature has almost become exhausted, yet
how I should whim her; how we all should
mourn for her! What a mother she has
been to us ; what an 'example ; what a
ebristiati ; lam sure of it; I know that
she haa been my dearest object of love and
affection all the days of my life. How
'ever I may have strayed from her bright
examples and her teachings ' my mother
has always been before me, beckoning me
to walk iu the right way ; and if 1 have
not prayed myeelt, with the fervor and
devotion I should, I have always felt that
she was supplicating for me. How much
she cared for us ! What a sacred treas
ure, even to the ends of our lives, will be
the memory of our mother."
"I see her now, as she looked to me,
when elle stood at the bedside of one dy- .
ing brother, cheering him in his suffer
ings ;
and , I hear her say, "The same
clock told the hour of his birth, is
now telling the hour of his death I What
a scene was that I We know, dear sister,
that these things must be, and it is not in
a melancholy strain that I write, but ev
ery indication of the approaching end of
my mother, stirs within me all the tender
est impulses of my heart. Her. removal
will be to the brightest heaven, die when
she may. Old age is but the thresh bold
of death, and after a life spent as our
mother's has been, the portals of apother
world can have to dreary look."
How ennobling, how touching are this
young man's words. We cannot 'but re
spect him for his beautiful reverence and
love for his.mother. Years of life in New
York, subject to every snare and every
temptation. engaged' in a business, with
the heat and passion of youth upon him,
yet,the steady flame of deep lova for his
mother, burned undimmed in his heart.
Mothers, she was a 'mother worthy of
such aeon. She was a Christian Mother.
Wonidyou inspire similar love and rever
ence, be like her, an earnest and heartfelf
follower of the blessed Redeemer. •
And let evary heartless, neglectful son,
remember the thorns of agony his thought
lessness implants in the hearts of his pa
rents. Let him call to remembrance • the
helpless years of his childhood, and the
self-sacrificing love that fill their hearts,
and now return to them and to God the
love and gratitude which are justly due.--

"Do you want to bay some good books,
sirr' ask ed a colporteur of the captain
of a vessel . '
"No," answered the captain, "I'Vti no
time' to read ; my cook is so good a- man ,
that he does all the reading add praying
on the ship."
"Then you think there is such a thing
as piety ?" said the colporteur. •
"Certainly I . do," answered the cap
tain ; "no man can go a voyage with my
cook and not be convinced of that fact."
"With your leave .I should like to see
him, sir."
"Certainly,"•answered - the captain,, and
kindly leading the way to the galley, he,
told the steward , who the colporteur 'was,
and what had brought him aboard ; and
while the men stood round his basket of
books as he read over the titles, the Ger
man cook pointing to the basket, ex
alaimed • •
"Chesus Grim in dere,' and Chesus,
Grise up dere ;" and clasping his hands
on his breatt "Chem Owe in here
too."
This simple burst of pions feang
touched the heart/Jr the' sailors., "The
captain bought a 'package of the books
and gave one to each of hib men, and
tifrning to the colportour, said :.
"That is our Christian."
The poor cook was a living sermon 'to
both captain and crew ; and the eaptaiti, 4
though professifig no religion bimetal, al ,
ways allowed his men fifteen minutes in
the morning and fifteen minutes in the
evening for the ir private devotions. ~ N o

he says; lathey are always ready."
A Beautiful Smile.'
A few days since a lovely little child
of four summers was buried in this town.
On leaving the house of its parents, the
clergyman, Rev. Mr. Jay. plucked up by
the roots a beautiful little lorget-rne
not," and tyk with him to the
grave.
After the little embryo of humanity
had been depiiited in the grave, the
clergyman, holding up the plant in his
hand, said :
"I hold in my hand a beautifnl flow
er which I plucked. from. the . garden
we have just left. By taking it from
its parent home it has withered,. but 1
here plant it in the head of this grave
and it will soon revive and flourish.
"So with the little flower we have just
planted in the grave. It has !men pluck
ed from its native garden, and has wilted,
but it is transplanted into tho garden, of
inanortality, where it will revive and
flourish in immortality, glory and beauty."

The Preaching Monkey
There, iv a curious animal, a native of
South America. vhinh iv called the preach
ing monkey. The appearance of the an
imal is at once grotesque and forbidding.
It has a dark. thick beard, three inches
long. hanging down from the chin. This
gives it the mock air of a Capuchin friar.
from which it has acquired the name of
the preaching monkey. They are gener
ally found in groups of twenty or. thirty,
except in their morning or evening meet
ings, when they assemble in vast multi
tud es. At these times, one of them, who
appears by common consent to be the
leader or president. mounts the highest
tree which is near, and the rest take their
places below. Having by Reign commit-
tied silence, the orator commences his
harrangue, consisting of various modulated
howls, something sharp and quick, then
again slow and deep, but always so loud ,
as to be heard several miles. The min
gled sounds at a distance are said to resem- 1
ble the 'rolling drums, and rumbling and
creaking of cart wheels ungreased. Now ;
and then the chief gives a signal with his
hands, when the whole company begin
the most frightful chorus imaginable, and
with another sign, silence is ;restored.—
The whole scene is described as the most
ludicrous and yet the most hideous, that
imagination can conceive.
VARIETY' OF FOOD NECESSARY.—II is
in vegetable as in animal life ; a mother
crams her child exclusively with arrow
root—it becomes fat, it is true, but, alas
it is rickety, and gets its teeth very slowly
end with difficulty. Mamma is ignorant,
or never thinks that her offspring can
ma k e beee—or, what is the same thing,
phosphate of lime, the principal bulk of
bone—out of starch. It does its beat ; and
were it not for a little milk, and bread,
perhaps now and then a little meal and
soup, it would have no bones and teeth at
all. Farmers keep poultry ; and what is
true of fowls is true of cabbage, a turnip,
or,an ear of wheat. If we mix with the
food of fowls a sufficient quantity of egg
shells or chalk, which they eat greedily,
they will lay many more eggs than before.
A_ well-bred fowl is disposed to lay a vast
number of eggs, but cannot do so without
the materials for the shells, however nour
ishing in other respects het fond may be.
A fowl, with the best wilt in the world.
not finding any lime in the soil nor mor
tar, from walls, nor calcareous matter in
her food, is incapacitated from laying any
eggs at all. Let farmers lay such facts as
these, which are matters of common ob
servation, to heart, and transfer the an
alogy, as they may do, to the habits of
plants, which are truly alive. and answer
as closely to every injudicious treatment,
as their own horse.— Moine Farmer.

“FEARLEBI3 AND BUIL”
A Lady at the Storming of Sebastopol.
A letter has been,reoeived by her friends
in this city, from -ige lady of commander
D'Aivicau, of the steamer Des Cartes, of
the allied fleet in the Black Sea. Captain
D'Arricau is the son•in•law of Mr. William
B. Le Coutenix, of this city, and both
himself and lady are known to many of our
city. This lady, who has her residence at
I Cotintentinsple, becoming uneasy about her
•
husband, determined to see him, * possible,
and, with this purpose wont to Sebastopol,
and was permitted to go on board the vessel
be commanded. As fate would have it, the
day she had chosen for the interview was
she notable one of the bombardment of So
tobtapol, and she was scarcely on board
when the orders were received to commence
the attack.
The situation was anything but agreea
ble to a lady, but there was no 'escaping,
and she was obliged to remain aid witness
the terrific scene from first to last. With
shot and shells, and danger on ir(ery hand,
the deafening roar of the cannon; the sky
Mirk with clouds of smoke, the airlreighted
with tho odor of battle, and the sA lashed to
unnatural fury by the storm of iron and
leaden rain, one may be supposed to have
funned a correct appreciation of the pecu
liar beauties of war. When the conflict
was titer the lady went ishorein company
with others, and, while surreying,the envi
rons of the partially conquered strong hold,
narrowly escaped a cannon ball that came
whizzing past her with anything but a mu
sical sound. Mrs. D'Arrigau was, perhaps,
the only lady who witnesdfid the. bombard
ment of Sebastopol frem shipboard. Our
•fashionably sensitive ladles would hardly
have encountered the deafer °Tap to visit
their husbands, or survived the fearful
shock of the battle.—But CO O% Nov. 1. -
Food in France.
It is stated that measures are in progress
all over France to provide su4 cheapen the
food for the poorer Owes. The Munici
pal Council of Orleans •hu voted 1160,-,

the distribution of bread tickets. Iu the
department of Loire, the wealthy people
have formed a commission for the purchase
of rice wholesale in the seaports, and sel

Death from Cardesniess —On Wednes
day last, at Concord, Ky., Lewis Strickland

of Mexico, at the time of the war with that

Cheap Labor.—An instance of the cheap
ness of labor in the island of Tahiti, is given
in the fact, that when the stenmer Golden
Age touched there to coal, fifteen hundred
tons were put on board at an expense of
only 4s. 2d.—less than dollar.
