42'.c.D_ YEAR.
"JP'OO.7DRWIS CX:3I
WAISTED TIIL
Alone lu the dark and silent night,
With the heavy thoughts of a vanished year,
When evil deeds come back to sight,
And good deeds rise with a welcome cheer;
Alone with the spectres of the peat,
That come with the old year's dying chime.
There gloomy one shadow dark and vast,
The shadow of Wasted Time.
The chances of happiness cast away,
The opportunities never sought,
The good resolves that every day
Have died in the impotence of thought;
The slow advance and the backwards.,
In the rugged path we have striven to climb;
How they furrow the brow and pale the lip,
When we talk with Wasted Time.
What are we now? whet had we been
Had we hbrded time as the miser's gold,
Striving our !need to win,
Thro' the summer's heat and the winter's cold ;
Shrinking from naught that the world could do,
Fearing not bet the touch of crime,
Laboring, struggling, all 11W0118 through.,
And knowing no Wasted Time?
Who shall recall the vanished years?
Who shall hold back this ebbing tide,
That leaves us remorse, and shame, and tears,
And washes away all things beside?
Who shall give us the strength e'er. now,
To leave forever this holiday rime,
To shake of this sloth from heart and brow,
And battle with Wasted Time ?
The years that pass come not again,
The things that die no life renew ;
But e'en from the rust of his cankering drain
A golden truth is glimmering through :
That to him who learns from errors past,
And torus away with strength sublime,
And makes each year outdo the last, .
There is no IVasted Time.
THE YOUNG MILOSOPHEIL
Mr. Solomon Winthrop was a pltin
old farmer—an austere, precise man,
who did everything by established rules
and could bee no reason why people
could grasp at things beyond what bad
been reached by their great grand
fathers. Ile had three children—two
boys ands a girl. There was Jeremiah,
seventeen years old, Samu6l, fifteen,
and Fanny, fourteen.
It was a cold winter's day. Samuel
was in the kitchen rfading a book and
so interested was he that he did not
notice tine entrance of his father. Jer
ry was in an opposite corner, engaged
in ciphering out a RUM IA latch he had
found in his arithmetic.
" Sam," said the father to his young
est boy, " have you worked out that
sum yet ?"
" No, sir," returned the boy, hesi
tatingly.
" Didn't I toll iott to stick to your
aritkinetic till you had done it r utter
ed Mr. Winthrop, in a severe tone.
&muel hung down his head and look.
ed troubled. " Why hav'n't you dune
it ?" continued the tattler.
t• I ain't do it, sir," tremblingly re.
turned Samuel.
“Cai.'t do it ? and why not? look at
Jerry, there, with him slate and pencil.
lle had ciphered further than you have,
long before he was as old as you are.”
" Jerry was always fond of math°.
ramie/II problems, sir, but I cannot fasten
my mind on them. They have no in
terest for me."
" That's because you don't try to
feel an interest in your studies. What
book is that you are reading r'
"lt is a work on philosophy, sir."
" A work on fiddle-sticks Go, put
it away this instant, and then get your
slate, and don't let me see you away
from your arithmetic until you can
work out those roots. Do you under
stand me?"
Samuel made no answer, but Rilently
he put away his philosophy and then
be got his slue and sat down in the
chimney corner. ills nether lip trem
bled, and his eyes moistened, for ho woe
unhappy. His father had been harsh
toward Lim, and he felt that it was
witlrout a cause.
"Sam," said Jeiry, as soon as their
father had gone, ".I will do that sum
for von."
" - No, Jerry," returned the youngest
brother with a grateful lock, " that will
be deceiving father. I wilt try to do
the sum, but fear I shall not succeed."
Sauni4 . worked very hard, but all to
no purpose. His mind was not on the
subject before him. The roots and
squares, the bases, hypotheanses and
perpendiculars, thougl comparatively
simple in themselves, were to him a
mingled mass of incomprehensible
things, and the morn he tried the more
he became perplexed and bothered.
The truth was his father did not un
derstand him.
Samuel was a bright boy, and un
commonly intelligent for 000 of his wo.
Xt. Winthrop was a thorough matho.
matician—he never yet same across a
problem he eonki not solve, and he de
sired that his boys should be like him,
for beisonsidere i t that the acme of 'du

fog upon such profitable matter as was
Interesting to him and that he was
scarcely over idle; nor did hit father
see, that if he ever wished his boy to
become a mathematician, he was puree
ing the very course to prevent such
a result. Instead of endeavoring to
make the study interesting to the child,
he was mi.king it obnoxious. _
The dinner boor came and Samuel
had not worked out the sem. Iris fa
ther was angry, and obliged the boy to
go without him dinner, at the same time
telling him that he was an idle, lazy
child.
Poor Samuel left the kitchen, and
there he sat and cried. At length his
mind seemed to pass from the wrong he
bad suffered at the hand of his parent,
and took another turn, and the marks
of grief left his face. There was a
large tiro in the room below his cham
ber, so that lie was not very cold ; and
getting ap he went to small closet, and
from beneath a lot of old clothes ho took
forth some long strips of wood and
commenced whittling. It was not for
mere pastime that he whittled, for he
was fashioning some curious affair from
those pieces of wood. Ho had bites of
wire, little scraps of tin plate, pieces of
twine, and some dozens of small wheels
that he made himself, and he seemed to
be working toget them together a ft er
some peculiar fashion of his own.
Half the of noon had• thus passed
away, when his little sister entered his
chamber. She had her apron gathered
up in her hand, and after closing the
door softly behind her, she approached
the spot where her brother sat.
"Here, Sammy—see, I hare brought
Sou something to cat. I know you
must be hungry."
As she spoke, she opened her apron
and took out four cakes, a piece of pie,
and some cheese. The boy was hun
gry, and he hesitated not. to avail him-
self of bis sister's kind offer. Hollow
ed her as he toulette takes, and thanked
her.
ALNIr.
" Oh, what a pretty thing that la you
are making r' uttered Fanny, as she
gazed upon the result or her brother's
labor. " Won't you give it to me after
it is done?
" Not this one, sister," returned the
boy, with a smile ~„"but as soon as I
got time 1 will mite you one equally
as pretty."
Fanny thanked her brother, and
shortly afterwards left the room, while
the boy went on with his work. •
Before long the various materials
that bad been subject to f3amnel'sjaelt•
knife and. pincers had assumed form
and comlicess, and they were joined
and grooved together in a eurioas
manner.
The embryo philosopher set the taa
chine—for it looked very much Lice a
machine—upon the floor, and then
stood off and gazed on it. His eyes
gloamed with a peculiar glow of satis
faction. Whilo he stood and gazed up
on the child of his labors, the door of
his chamber opened and his father en
tered.
What—are you not stadyingr ox
claimod Mr. Winthrop, as he noticed
tho boy standing in the middle of the
floor.
Samuel trembled when he heard his
father's voice, and be turned pale with
fear.
6'Ra, what is this r said Mr. Win.
throp, as ho caught sight of the curious
construction on the door. "This is
the iecret of his idleness. Now I see
how it is you cannot master your stud
iee. You spend your time in making
play-houses and fly-pens. I'll see
whether you'll learn to attend to your
lesson or not.. There."
As the father uttered this common
conjunction ho placed his foot upon the
object of his displeasure. The boy ut
tered a quick cry, and sprang forward
bat too lute. The curious construction
was crushod to atoms----the labor of
long weeks. Looking at the muss of
ruins, and then covering his face with
W.s hands, he burst into tears.
"Ain't you ashamed?" said Mr.
Winthrop, "a great boy like you, to
spend your time in making clap-traps,
and then cry shoat it, because I choose
that you should attend to your studies.
Now go to the barn and help Jerry
shell core"
The boy was too frtH of grief to make'
any explanation, and without a Word.
he left his chamber, bet for long days
afterwards ho was weary and down
hearted.

day after the spring had opened, " I

g i TZOIII IN MONTT, AND WILE PINVAIT.'t
' One evening aftet Samuel Winthrop
had been with his new master six
months, the latter came into the shop
after all the journeymen had quit work
and gone home, and found the youth
busily engaged in fitting a piece of iron.
There were quite a number of pieces on
the bench by his side, and some were
curiously riveted together and fixed
with springs and slides, while others
appeared not yet ready for their desti
ned use. Mr. Young ascertained what
the young workman was nip to and he
sot only encouraged him in his under
taking, but he stood for half an hour
and watched hire at his work. Next
day Samuel Winthrop was removed
from the blacksmith's shop to the ma
chine shop.
Samuel often visited his parents. At
the end of two years hie father was not
a little surprised when Mr. Young in
formed him that Samuel was the most
useful hand in his employ.
Time flew fast. Samuel was twenty
one. Jeremiah had been free almost
two years, and was one of the most ac
curate and trustworthy surveyors in
the county.
i Mr. Winthrop looked upon his eldest
Son with pride, and often expressed a
Wish that his other son could have bon
like him.' Samuel bad come home to
visit his parents, and Mr. Young bud
home with him.
"Mr. Young," said Mr. Winthrop,
'fter the tea tlfings had been cleared
sway, " that is a fine factory they have
just erected in your town.
" Yoe," returned Mr.joung, "there
are three of them, and they are doing
a very heavy business."
; "I understand they bare an eaten
ire machine shop connected with the
eV:ivies. Now if my boy Sam is as
a workman as you say he is, per
. r. be might get a first-rate situation
. re."
Yr. Young looked at Samuel and
Fled.
" By the way," continued the old far
. er, " what is all this noise I see and
r in the paper about those Winthrop
ms ? They tall me they go ahead of
nything that ever was got up before."
" You may ask your eon about that,"
Mr. Young. "That is some of Bam
eel's business."
" Eh ? What I My eon ? Some of Sam"
—The old man stopped short and gazed
'at big son. He was bewildered. It
conld not be that his son—ins idle son
—was the inventor of the great power
loom that had taken all the manufao
turers by surprise.
" What do 'you moan r he at length
inquired. •
' "It is simply this, father, that the
loom is mine," returned Samuel with a
eonseicans pride. " I ve invented it.
and taken a patent ri t, and have al
ready been offered ten thousand dollars
for the patent right n two adjoining
State*. Dun't you re ember that clap
trap you crashed wi your foot, six
years ago ?"
" Yes,' ,
answered tlio old man, whose
eyes were bent to the floor, and over
whose mind a now light seemed break
ing.
" Well," amtinned i amuel, "that was
almost a pattern, thOugh of course I
have made much alteration and improve
ment, and there is rooms for more."
" And that was what you were study
ing, when you used to,stand and see me
weave, and when yen fumbled about
my loom so much 11 said Mrs. Win
throp.
" You are right, mother. Even then
I had conceived the idea which I have
since carried out."
" And that is why you could not un
derstand my mathematical problems,"
uttered Mr. Winthrip, as be started
from his chair and took the youth by
the hand. " Samuel, my son, forgive
me for the barshnosa I have used to
wards you. I have been blinded, and
now see how I have misundlptood you.
While I have thought you idle and
careless, on were sowing a philosophi
cal problem 1 could never have compre
hended. Forgive me, Samuel—l meant
well enough, but Isekod t _judgment and
discrimination.
Of course the old min'had long before
been forgiven for his harshness, and his
mind was opened to a new lesson in
human nature. It was simply this :
Different minds hoe different capa
cities, and no mind can ever be driven
to lov e
. that for whidh it has no taste.
First., seek to undervitand the mitered
abilities and dispositions of cLiklren,
and then, in your management of their
education for afterlife, govern yourself
accordingly. Georgti Combo, the great

an extract from a letter published by
President Lord, of Dannouth College
" Without a miracle, I see not but
that slaves will yet be called for in New
England, and by New England men—
slaves having the attributes if not. the
name of slaves, and possibly to worse
condition than we now complain of in
reference to the South. Why not, if

will not perform the menial work of

Yankee independence, and have the
means of living, above servile labor, on
their freeholds I Then who will be oar
servants? Shall we have our Coolies
or Africans to bow our wood and draw
our water? And what form of govern
ment shall be over them but that which
is adapted to their comparative rude

One Union Man ix iiiroeindppi.—The
editor of the Brandon (Hies.) Republi
can thus defines his position on the dis
union question :
If all leave this State but us, then
we will order an election for all offices,
and go and vote for ourself for Govern
or. Then wo will be commander-in
chief of the army and navy of the State
of Misaiaaippi, and also editor and pro
prietor of the Brandon Republican. If
we can't find anybody in the State to
read it, we will issue it regularly every
Thursday morning, and sat down and
read it ourself, believing it the duty of
every sensible man to read a good pa
per. If we should at any time get too
cold, we will read our fire-eating, blood
and.thunder exchingea on ale. If the
Fire-eaters should - happen to leave any
of their friends in the assylum and peni
tentiary at Jackson, we would-do the
best we could with them, and, as soon
as practicable, send them on to them re
joicing. Wo could easily escape the
debts of the State by pablishing that a
vote of the people would be taken at
given time to see if they should be paid,
and than we would go and vote no.—
We could attend to ail the offices in the
State, and do very well at it. If a coin
missioner at any time should pass thro'
the State on his way to ask advice of
Old Virginia, we would treat him well,
and send by him for some tobacco. We
would road once every week. Washing
ton's Farewell Address, and Jackson's
Proclamation, Nulliflcalioa Ildessige,
and Farewell Address. Wo would read
and study the Holy Bible, and pray for
the Fire-eaters six times a day, and
spend our days -in publishiog a Union
pnper."
country schoolmaster one day
announced to his pupils that an exami
nation would soon take place. "If you
are examined in ger-Kr:Thy," said he,
" you will ea rely be asked of what shape
is the earth, and if you should not re
member, just Mock at me, and I will
show you my snuff box to remind you
that it is round'."
Unfortunately, the schoolmaster had
two boxes--a roand one, which ho car
ried on Sunday, and a square one,
which ho carried during the week.
The fatal day having arrived, the
class in geography was duty called oat
and the question was tusked, what is the
shape of the earth.
The first boy appalled at tho imposing
stppennlnge of the examining eommit
teo, felt embarrassed and 'glanced at
the master, who at once pointed to his
snuff box.
"Sir," boldly answered the boy," tie
round on Sunday and square all the
rest of the week.

Row to Prevent Wet Fed.--At a sea
son like the present, when wet feet are
so common a complaint, the annexed
hints will probably bo acceptable.—
They are extracted from& work s hose
editors are well skilled in that sort of
thing. Pat a pound of tallow with a
piece of rosin in a pot on the fire ; when
melted and mixed, warm the boots and
apply it hot with a painter's brush, un
til neither the soles nor the upper leath
er will soak in any more. If it is de
sired that the boots should immediate
y, take a polish, dissolve an ounce of
wax in a teaspoonful of lamp black. A
day or two after the boots have been
treated with the tallow and resin, rub
over them this wax in turpentine, but
not before the fire. Thus the exterior
will have a coat of wax alone, and shine
like a mirror. Tallow or greepe be
comes rancid,and rots the stitching and
leather; but the rosin gives it an anti
septic quality, which preserves the
whole.
Chit-door Bathing in Winter.—The
Newburyport herald states that Dr.
H. G. Smith, of that city, has made a
practice for several years to plunge
daily into the open water, whatever
the temperature, and adds :
"He has done this during this win
ter, and apparently without suffering
half as much as do the spectators, who
chill to see him cat the ice of the river
and plunge under as fearlessly as a wild
duck or seal. The coldest ho has bad
°Cession to try this season was with the
mercury frnm - twelve to fifteen degrees
below zero, and then, he affirms, that
the bath was delightful. ho very sel
dom suffers from what we term 'colds,'
and enjoys the most robust health.—
His practice is to walk rapidly or run
some distance, and take his bath before
perspiration ceases. One morning his
ands were somewhat bitten by taking
hold of a ship's chain in climbing from
the water; but by immediately return
ing them to the water a few minutes
the frost came oat of them without
danger."
A Bens Remedy for Soviet Fever.
Parents should be very careful about
their children when this devouring
plague seizes them, and every good
mother should be prepared for it with
the following simple remedies :
lst. When a child is taken with the
fever give it s dose of castor oil ; if the
body shows a flesh color have a pot of
saffron tea made and give it to the child
W drink. This will drive the eruption
out.
2d. Have warm baths for their feet,
keep it warm, and the room under a
proper temperature.
Bd. When the eruption is out grease
the whole bowels with bacon fat, and
keep the body open. Tben call for a'
doctor if the throat should get sore.—
[Better begin by calling in the doctor.]
.New T elegraph Route Between Europe

Proposed New Law in New York.—
The New York Legislature have now
before them and will probably pass a
law in regard to wills, which will inter
est very many people who have wealth
to leave or wealth to expect. By it no
person leaving a wife, child or parent,
can bequeath to any association or in
corporation more than one-fourth part
of his or her estate after the payment
of his or her debts, and even then to be
valid the devise or bequest must have
been made and executed at least two
months before the death of the testator.

Military of Peenry/eaeia,—Aceording
to the Adjutant General's report the
whole number of militia of the State is
350,000, of which but 17,500 are nni
formed and organised into volunteer
compar.ies. The passage of the late
military law gave enoortragement to
volunteers, but the previous neglect in
the enrolment renders it difficult
get arms, and the eonseqnetsee is that
Pennsylvania is far behind aln3ostevery
other State in the Union in point of
military equipage. The Government
has two armories or manfactories—one
at Springfield, Mass., the other at Har
pers Ferry, Va. These eatablishmenti
furnish, through the Secretary of
a quota of arms to each State in pro
portion to its annual enrolment - of
volunteers and militia. A neglect to
make return to the Adjutant General
con seqee a fly deprives him of the power
to draw arms, and our disadvantage
accrues to the ad vantage of other States.
Pennsylvania, large as she is,
is far be.
hind little Massachueetts. Louisiana
with a much smaller population, has a
uniformed military force of 91;175
more than five times that of Pennsyl
vania. They are Armed and equipped,
with a sufficient reserve in the State
arsenals fur futnre volunteer organisa
tions. This is the case generally in the
South, while the Adjutant General of
Pennsylvania. in consequence of the
previous neglect of assessors, county
commissioners, and brigade Inspectors,
to make proper returns, is not able to
furnish 4he necessary arms for the
present organized volunteer force.
The whole number of arms issued to
companies daring the past year amounts
to 2,740, leaving a deficiency of 12,370.
Many of the companies now organized
are using private arms, others guns
scarce lit for service.
Sad Affair in York County.—On the
16th inst., Philip Moore, aged nineteen
years, in the employ of Mr. Jacob Bril
linger, in Spring Garden township,
York county, Pa., shot himself in the
face with a pistol heavily loaded with
buckshot. Tho York Press says •
The load passed across his month,
shattering his lower jaw •in a most
frightful manner. tearing off the end of
his tongue and knocking oat a number
of his upper teeth. He is now lying in
a critical edndition and poor hope's of
recovery are entertained. We an in
formed that he went to his room at, an
early hour on that evening in company
with his brother, for the purpose of re
tiring for tho night, when ho stopped
into an adjoining chamber and the re
port of the pistol immediately followed.
It is not exactly known whether this
melancholy event was an aoeidenty'vr
whether it was done intentionally, but
it, is generally believed that the nab
act was prembditated on his part. Per
sons are inclined to this opinion from
the fact of some oirsionstanees rspeig
nun:, to his feelings having lately trees
pired between himself and a yoaa, la
dy, to whom ho had been paying his 11 4L'
dresses.
