THE GKKKX MOSSY BANK.
BY AMELIA.
O my thoughts tire away where my infancy flew,
Near the creen mossy bank where the butter
cups grew,
Where the bright silver fountain eternally played
First laughing in sunshine then singing in shade.
There oft in my childhood I've wandered in play,
Flinging up the cool drops in a shower nf spray,
Till my small naked feet were al! bathed in
bright dew,
As I played on the bank where the btitter-cnps
grew.
How softly that green bank sloped down from
the hill,
To the spot where the fountain grew suddenly
still
How cool was the shadow the long branches gave,
As they hung from the willow and dipped in the
wa''e !
And then each pa!e lilly that slept on the stream
Rose nnd fell with the wave ns if stirred by a
dream,
W title n.y home m.U the v.ne-leaves rose sou on j
my liiew,
As I played on the bank where the butter-cups
grew.
The beautiful things how I watched them unfold,
Till they lifted their delicate vases of gold,
O, never a spot since those days have I seen
With leaves of sin h freshness, and flowers ol such
sheen,
How glad was my spirit '. for then there was
nought,
To burthen its wings, save somebeatitiful thought
Breaking up from its depths with each w ild wind
that blew
O'er the green mossy bank where the butter
cups giew.
The paths 1 have trod I would quickly retrace,
Could 1 win ba.'k the gladness that looked from
my lace,
As 1 coohd my warm lip in the fountain I love,
With a spirit ns pure as the wing of a dove,
CoM 1 ndor again where my forehead was
fctarr'd
-jVith the beauty that dwelt in my bosom un
armed
And calm as a child, in the starlight and dew
Fall asleep on the bank where the butter-cups !
grew.

Mexico. The Government immediately offered
him ample amends, but his papers wero not re
turned. When Mr. Shannon went out, as Min
ister, he was warned that lie would be robbed
between Vera Cruz und Mexico, and advised to
t.ko no money witli him, but lo procure a bill,
as can always be done, at Vera Crur., on Mexi
co. Hi' did so, ii ml was duly robbed. The Go

When Mr. Cushing passed through Mexico,
on his return from ('hum, he was stopped by a
troop of half military, hull sivnge looking fel

hauled every tiling. His trunks with specie
and witli public papers were examined and lock

and he was then told to proceed.
Commodore Porter, when they attempt pd to
rob him in his return from Mexico, biung bad
some difficulties with thai Government, und be
ing in no humor for tho operation, w heeled his
horse upon the captain of the troopand shot him
dead, whereupon the rest took to flight.
Case have been known wherein men of im
portance have been robbed, according to order,
and upon their arrival al Mexico, complained
of their largo losses, and the Government,
though well knowing that the Iom wae trifling,
have restored the sum claimed. If the Go

the wonderful nntural pas fnuntaina which a

Ftilt :
"Three year ago, William Thompkin, Eq.,
first obtained a steady and permanent stream
of tunc, of snlllcient power, not only to force the
wa'er up from the depth of a thousand feel into
the pum, but to carry it into the reservoir ele
vated many feet above) the bank of the river.
This saved the expense of the pump, wlvch is
operated by a steam engine. In a short time
the thought occurred to his practical mind that
this pap, wliich ns yet, niter lwvin:j brought up
the writer ready for use, was only 'wnstinu its
frtiffranrc on the desert air,' or by its brilliant
lioht of illuminating the works and the neigh
borhood by nipht, attracting the pazeaud won
der of the traveller, cuuld be turned to a still
more useful purpose. lie erects over the re
ervoir or cistern a pasometer, which if sirn
ply a hogshead upright, into the lower end of
which is inserted the pipe which conveys the
water and the pas from the well, the water run-
ninjr out through a hide in the lower end, and
in the top is inserted a pipe that convey the
gas to the mouth of ti e furnace. Then it is

Subsi qtiently, Mes-rs. Warth and English,
whose works aie on the opposite tide uf'the ri
ver from the one above spoken of, obtained a
similar stream of pas, which hns been used t tir
ressfuMy in the same way ; and more recently
Mr. Dryden Donnelly, Mr. Chnrles Reynolds,
i and some few others, bad a pirtial t!pp!y of gas
to operate their furnaces in the same way.
Rut the most remarkable phennmeni n in th'
way of natural gas here, nod we have nodouh',

to ascertain. It has never had a tree and un-.b-tructed

o' the well an iron cinker, a long piece of

SiarxMt Tradition Among the Semi
nole Indians there is a singular tradition, regar
ding Ihe white man's origin and superiority.
They say that when the Great Spirit made, he
also made three men, all of whom were fair
complexioned ; and that after making them, he
led them to the margin of a small l ike und bade
them lay therein and wash. One immediately
obeyed, and came from the wu'er purer and fair
er than beforo ; the second hesitated a moment,
during which tune the water, agitated by the
first, had becn.ue slightly mudded, ami when ho
had bathed lie came up copper-colored ; the
third did not leap into till the water became
black with mud, and he came out w ith his own
color. Then thn Great Spirit laid before them
three packages of bark, and madelhem choose
and out nf pity for his misfortune in color, gave
tho black man the first choice, lie too!; each
of tho packages and having felt the weight
chose the heaviest ; the copper-colored one then
chose the second heaviest, ami tho white inun
the lightest. When the packagea were open
ed, the first waa found, lo contain spades, hoe
and all the iinp'.oiueuta of lubor ; the second en
wrapped htint .ng and fishing and warlike appa
ratus ; the third guve to the white man, pens,
ink und paper the engine of the mind the
ineana of mutual mental improvement the so
cial link of humanity the foundation of the
white man' superiority.
It won't do for chap lu imagine girl is in
different to him, because the ttudiourly avoids
him in company.

Dr. NoTT. We hive been looking over
with great interest, "Counsels to Young men,"
by the venerable Dr. Nott, published by the
Harpers; n small volume with which every
youth ought to be familiar. The following sen
timents cannot fail to commend themselves to
the conscience and heart :
Truth and justice are immutable nnd eternal
principles always sacred nnd always applica
ble. In no circumstances, however urgent, no
crisis, however awful, can there be an oburra
tion from the one, or a dereliction of the
other, without sin. With respect to everything
else, be nccomrnoihiting ; but here, be unyield
ing Bnd invincible. Rather carry your integri
ty to the dungeon or tho sraflobl, than receive
in exchange for it liberty nnd life. Should you
ever be calhd to make your selection between
these extremes, do not hesitate. It is belter
prematurely to be sent to heaven in honor, than,
having lingered on the earth, tit last lo sink to
hell in infamy. In every situation, a dishonest
man is detestable, and a liar is still more so.
Truth is one of the fairest attributes of the
Deity. It is the b military which separates
vice from virtue ; the line which divides hea
ven from hell. It is. the chain w Inch binds the
man ol integrity to the throne of God ; and, like
the God to w hose throne it hinds him, till this
chain is dissolved his word may be r lied on.
Suspended on this, vour property, yrur reputa
tion, your life are sale. Ilu against the inalicp
nf a liar there is no security. He can bo bound
by nothing. His soul is already repulsed to an
immeasurable distance from that Divinity,' a
sense of whose presence is the security of vir
tue. He has sundered the last ofthnse moral
ligaments which bind a mortal to his duty. And
having done so, through the extended region of
fraud and falsehood, without n bond to check or
limit to confine him, he ranges the dreaded
enemy of innocence whose lips pollute even
truth itself ns it passes thro' them, nnd w bosp
breath blasts, and soils, and poisons as it touches.

"It is hard, I think, Mr. Caudle, that I can't
leave home for a day or two, but the house must
be turned into a tavern ; a tavern ! a pot-
Iioure ! Yes, I thought you were very anxious
that I should go ; tho't you wanted to get rid
of me for something, or you would not have in
sisted on my slaying at dear mother's nil night.
You were afraid I should get cold coming home,
were you ! Oil, jes, you can be very tender.
you can, Mr. Caudle, when it suits your own !
purpose. Yea ! and the world thinks what a '
good husband you a'c ! I only wish the world I
knew you as well ns I do, that's all ; but it shall,
some day, I'm determined.
"I'm sure the house will not lie sweet for a
month. All the rtirtains are poisoned with
smoke; and what's more, the fi'thiest smoke I
ever knew. Takr 'cm down thin ! Yes, it's
all very well for you to say, take 'em down ;
but they were only cleaned and put up a month
ago ; but a careful wile's lost upon you, Mr.
Caudle. You onoht to have married somebody
who'd have let your house go to wreck nnd ru
in, as I will for the future. People who don't
cnip for their families are better than those who
do ; I've long found out that.
"And w hat a condition tiie carpet's in !
They've taken five poundsotit of it, if a farthing,
with their filthy hoots, nnd I don't know whnt
besides. And then the smoke in the hearth-
rug, nnd a Inrje cinder hole burnt in it! I ne-
versaw such a house in my lite ! If you want
to have a few friends, why could'nt you invile
'em when your wife's at home, like any other
man 1 not have 'em sneaking in, like a set of
housebreakers, directly a woman turns her buck.
They must h pretty jentlemen, they must ;
mean fellows, that are afraid to face a woman!
I In ! and von call yourselves lordsof the creation!
I should only like to see what would become of
i,e creation, if you were left to yourselves ! A
pn tty pickle creation would be in, Very soon !
"You must have nil been in a nice condition!
What do yon s.iy 1'on foot nothing ! Took
notbieg, did'nt you ! I'm sure there's such a
reoinient of empty bottles, I hav'nt had the
heart to count 'em. And punch, too ! you must
have punch ; There's a hundrrd half-lemons

win hr innxti r in yoar own house 7 ill you?
If you don't aller, Mr. Caudle, you'll soon have
no house to I e mas'er of. A whole loaf of su
gar did I leave in the cupboard, and now there
isn't as much as would fill a tea spoon. Do you
suppose I'm to find the sugar for punch for fifty
men ! What do you say ! Thf-re wasn't fifty )
That's no matter : the more shame for 'em, sir.
I'm sure ilrey drank enough for filly. Do you sup
pose I'm to find sujjar for punch for all the world
out of my housekeeping money ! 1'om don't

you do: for if I only want a shilling extra, the i notigh ot each to cover a ten cent piece ; moist

I .'you'd got to bed at a proper hour last night,
you would'iit have been so sleepy now. You

who don't care for you, and your poor wife, can't

Yes, corked whiskers on her dear face, and
she was a good soul to you, Ciudle, and you

Vaccination. A late number of the I on
don Lancet has the following on the subject of
vacpitintion :
''Phe general conclusions drawn by Dr. pit
Z'ns, of Stockholm, from his observations ii
Sweden are these : The protection afforded bv
vaccination, from tho close of the second year
of life, against the contagion of the variolous
poison, usually Insts unimpaired to the end of
the thirteenth year or so , after this periol it
begins to lose itsrfl.'ct, and grodually becomes
more and more uncertain to the twentieth or
twenty-first year of life. Tor the next four or
five years the disposition to the small pox seem
almost to hnve recovered its originnl int-'gr ty ;
and this state of liability continues unimpaired
up to Ihe see of forty years or so. At about
this epoch of life it begins to approach nearer
and nearer to the limits of existence which it
reaches, in the majority of cases, about th fif
tieth year the period when the general revo
lution of the human body commences to t.l.o
place."
Mendimi a Tree. It is well known that
i tree, when injured, can be completely restored
by agricultural surgery. The editor of the
Brooklyn Advertiser saw nt Mr. Frost's, New
ton, L. I., a large apple tree, that had the baric
eaten all round by the mice some years ago, end
of course would have died, without some extra
j pains to save it. Mr. Frost set a dozen of scums
in the tree, one end in the green bark and wood
below, and the other above the wound. They
all took nt both ends nnd grew well, excepting
one, which took only at tho bottom, and thus
forming a little tree by itself. The r-cions nro
now about two inches in dinmeter.nnd are touch
ing each other. The tree is in a fine tLurisu
ing condition.
HiT8 to Ladies. Stair carpets should al
ways have a slip of paper pot under them, at
and over the edge of every stair, which is: t!i
part where they first wear out, in order to lesson
the friction of the carpets ngainst the boards b
neath. The strip should be within an inch or
two is longa9 the carpet is wide, and about four
or five inches in breadth, so as to lie a ilistanci?
from each stair. 'Phis simple plan, so easy of
execution, will, we know, preserve a stair enr
pet halt as long again us it would last without
the strips of paper.
Poison, for iNsttTs It is perhaps not gen
erally known that black pivper (no red) is a
poison for many insects. The following sim
ple mixture is the best destroyer for the com
mon house fly : "Tuke equal portions of'flnrj
black pepper, fresh ground, and suar, say e-
tie cream is better.) keep that in your room and
you will keep dawn your flies. One advantage
over every other poison is that it injures no.
thing else : and another that flies seek the ar
and never die in the hcuse tho windows be
ing open.
