And a child,behind the linden-tree Sang, " Think no more of sorrow ; But let us smile and sing to-day, For we must weep to-morrow." I asked the bird, "Oh didst thou hear The song that she would sing thee? And can it be that thou shooldst fear What the next morn would bring thee?" He answered with triumphant strain, Saving, "I know not sorrow; But I must sing my best to-day, For I may die to-morrow !" I asked the rose, "Oh tell me, sweet, ' In thy first beauty'. dawning, Thou can't not fear, from this retreat, The coming of the morning?" She flung her fragrant leaves apart, The lovelier for her sorrow, Saying; "Yet I must bloom to-day, For I may droop to-morrow." I said. "The bloom upon my cheek • Is fleeting ei the roses ; My voice no more shalt sing or speak, When dust in dust reposes; And from these soulless monitors One lesson I may borrow— That we should smile and sing to-day, For we may weep to-morrow." [Howse Jammed- Leaving Home. There is hardly a time in .the lifb of a youth, which seems to gather twetber so many tokens of a mother's affection and care, as when he is leaving the roof that bus sheltered bins from infancy, and going forth to prepare for, or to enter upon, the cnitiesand scones oflifo. That trunk, which no one but his mo ther can at range and pack, is filled with the work of her own hands; work which she has done while be was, per haps, asleep, or at play; on which her tears have fallen, as she has anticipated the moment of separation ; and over which her prayers have often been si lently offered fur blessings on her child. Piece after piece is carefully put away, uhile the children look op, and talk cheerfully of the morrow, and knOw not the anxiety and care that is parsing in the mother's heart. All to at length arranged and on the layer is placed a Bible, on the fly-leaf of which is writ ten the mother's earnest wish. That ter child limy take that blessed volume as his guide through. lA. And when he is far away, amid scenes that are strange and new, if there is one motive next, to the desire to obey Ged, that should above all others, induce him to abstain from evil, ai.d to act wisely and virtuously, it should be the wish to please his mother, and to repay her kindness and care. Nothing will so surely do this, as the knowledge that her son remembers her instructions, obeys her commands, even while absent, and is growing up in wisdom and virtue. Ilifiriterschel andaNewton were men of intellectual substance; Fenelon and Wesley, of spiritual substance; Luther Whe a man of moral substance ; Howard, of benevolent substance. Some men are weighty in substance because of their riches; some because they are fat; but the weightiest of all is the high, no ble minded man, influenced largely by spiritual force; for all ►nen weigh in the moral world according to their energy, morality, goodness of heart, greatness of soul and Christian humanity. All man's selfishness, assumption, preten sions, oppression, Se., detract trum the true substance of the man, and deduct from his weight accordingly.

I ILI Some years ago, says the Petersburgh Pads.ll lady residing in Pennsylvania sent her only child, a eon, to Europe, to look after certain property that had been bequeathed to her by a relative in Belgium. The sum was a large one, and would have placed tier far beyond the necessity of labor. The property was secured and the son wrote borne that he would return home in the stea mer Pacific, with the funds obtained from its sale. The Pacific never reach ed the shores of America, and it is sup posed that all on board of her perished. The old lady wits inconsolable fora long w ile, bat time finally softened her She removed to Petersburgh, and for a long time has been noted amongst her immediate neighbors for her industry and charity. On Thursday last, a stranger called upon her. lie was bearded to the eyes, and his mien betokened one who had seen much of the world. She received him kindly, and he began to speak of hereon. She recognised his voice—the veil of years was lifted from her eyes— the olden time came back to her like a long forgotten drench, and she knew her offrpnng. His story la readily related. He did not leave in tho.Pueifk, but was taken ill in London with the bilious fever.— During his sickness he was robbed of all he possessed. Upon his recovery he dared not return home penniless, and therefore repaired to France. Finding no employment, he made his way to Russia, where ho obtained a situation upon one of the government railways, then natler the superintendence of Joseph Hi.rrison, Jr., Esq., of Philadel phia. Acouniulating a handsome sum he returned to France, and purchased a farm, which be subsequently disposed of at a large prof:. Be thenrired to Ragland where he espo usedthe daughter of a gentleman of wealth.— After his honeymoon be returned to this country, in the Bohemian, to seek his mother and carry her home. After oonbiderabla effort be found her in our I city, and on Monday last left for the North, whence he will shortly take pas sego for Europe. . air Talking of actions at law, Qnilp says they aro of two sorts, namely, civil and criminal,—which ho severally de fines and illustrates in the following in telligible manner:—Thus, to lift your friend's note at a bank is a civil action —very; while shop-lifting is a criminal action—and a heavy offence. Speak ing of actions real and personal, he ob serves that "personal actions die with try person,"—and he tlirther remarks (on his own hook) that sometimes the parson dies with the action,as in cases of suicide. The doctrine that " real so tiotui surviothe person," he thinks can only apply to real bad actions ; and quotes Chief Baron Shakepeare (Jul. (mss. act 8, soc. 2): e evil that men do lives after them, The pod is oft interred with their bones." A Roland for an Oliver.—A wag of a follow by the name of Thornton, one day got up during service and walked out of church making a rather promi nent display of a gold-headed cane.— The preacher, a well-known eccentric character, with a woodon leg—the re sult of his love of fox hunting—imme diately pounced upon him in this wise : " Pull that cane from ander your arm my young friend, and throw it away. There aro no goid-headed canes in heaven." Whereupon, Thornton turn ing around, replied : Pull that stick of wood out of your pants, my old friend, and throw it. away. There are no wooden legs in heaven." An Abolition CoVer.—" Artemos Ward" thus sums up briefly college life at Oberlin : Oberlin is a largo place.

What Crops lay be Educated To. We see frequent remonstrances in the agricultural papers, against the killing of crows, and they are declared to be natural scavengers, very necessary to us. But, in the Island of Ceylon, where the have always been held sacred, ar4 i ptherefore have been at liberty to propagate and acquire knowledge, they are thus described :--" No article how ever unprotnising its quality, provided only it be portable, can with safety be left unguarded in any apartment sects sable to them. The contents of ladies' work-boxes, kid gloves and pocket handkerchiefs, vanish instantly if ex posed near a window or an open door. They open paper parcels to ascertain the contents; they will undo, the knot on a napkin if it encloses anything eat able, and I have known a crow to ex tract the peg which fastened the lid of a basket, in order to plunder the proven der within. On one occasion a nurse seated in a garden adjoining a regimen tal mess-room, was terrified by seeing aibloody ebtsp-knife drop from the air at her feet; but the mystery was ex plained on learning that a crow, which bad been watching the cook chopping mince -meat, had seized the moment when his head was turned to carry off the knife. One of these ingenious marauders, after vainly attitudinizing in front of a chained watch-dog, which was :airily gnawing a bone, and after fruitlessly endeavoring to divert his at tention by chincing before him, with head awry and eye askance, at length flew away fora motive, and then ro turned, bringing with it a companion, who perched itself on a branch a few yards in the rear. The crow's grim aces were now actively- renewed, but with no better result, tin its confeder ate, poising himself on his wing de scended with the utmost veloc/ty. striking the dog upon the spine withal! the form of his beak. The raise was successful; the dog started with sur prise and pain, but not quickly enough to seize his assailant, whilst. the bone be had been gnawing dissippeitked the moment his bead was turned. Two well authenticated instances of the re earrance of this device carne within my knowledge at Colombo, and attest the sagacity and power of communication and combination possessed by these as tute and courageous birds." " /Don'4 Dance."—A plain, unletter ed man from the country in the State of Alabama, came to Tuscaloosa, and on the Sabbstb went early to church. Re selected a seat in weonvenient slip, and awaited patiently the assembling of the congregation. The services commenced. Presently the music of a full-toned organ burst upon his aston ished ear; he had never heard one be fore. At the same time tbo gentleman who owned the slip came up the isle, with his lady leaning upon his arm.— As be approached the door of the slip he motioned to give place to the lady. This movement the countryman dil not comprehend, and from the situation of the gentleman and lady, associated as it was in his mind with the music, he immediately concluded that a cotillion, or a French contra dance, or some of her dance was intended. Rising partly from his seat he said to him—"Rxeuse me, sir--excase tae, if you please, 1 don't daxce."- INrA correspondent from Potosi re. mita us several eslyinp of the little folks, of which we may spots : “ My little Jams leaving her play, sad, laying her head in her mother's lap, asked : 'Ma, if I am . a good girl, will God give me the stars to play with when I die and go to Heaven ?" "Sitting in tho door one day she noticed a neighboring woman fondling a little dog, whereupon he soliloquized as follows : I wish I was a dog—that Dutch woman's dog—she's so kind to it. I always wented to be a dog; but I suppose when the Lord got my head made he found it was a baby's and so ho kept right on!'" Short but Emphatic.--John Short, a burglar, whose shortcomings placed him in the jail at, Newport, Rhode Island, and who brake out about a week since, has written a latter to the Mayor of that city, which in decidedly cool.— The letter is dated Newport., and says : " Mr. Mayor : I have taken the job of rebuilding the Pemberton Mills, at Lawrence, and will be obliged to absent, myself from the city for some time in consequence. On my return I will take a contract for repairing the New port jail, as, in my opinion, it is not of sufficient security for the incarceration of prisoners."

In one of our exchanges, we find the following: " Said a venerable farmer, some eigh ty years old, to a relative who had late ly visited him, have lived on this farm half a century. I have no det , ire to change my residence as long as I live on earth. 1 have no desire to be any richer than I now am.

Am.— Almost every person has had occasion to use the word " dun," and all known what it means, as now rendered, yet few, we venture to say, know its origin. It owes its paternity, it, is said, to ono Joe Dun, a famous bailiff of Lin coln, England, in the timeof Henry VII. He was so extremely shrewd in the management of his rough "minces, and so dexterous in the collection of dues, that his name became proverbial ; and whenever a man refused to pay his debts, it grew into a prevalent custom to say, " Why don't you Dux him!" - Birth of a Monster.—The town of Dutch Aecra is fixed upon as the birth place of a monster.

The British Banner has beat the American flag, and has actually got dominion ever the " tarfkl snake," at last. The following extract from the log of the barque British Banner, will give some idea of the strength and size' of this monster of the deep : "On the 25th April, in lat. 12 deg. 7 min. S., long. 93 dog. 52 min. E., felt a strong sensation as if the ship was trembling. Sent the second mate to ace what was up; the latter called out to me to go up the fore-rigging and look over the bows. I did so, and saw an enormous serpent shaking the bowsprit with his mouth. There was about thirty feet of the ser pent out of the water abalf of our stern; i must have been at least 300 feet long; was about the circumference of a ' very wide crinoline petticoat, with black back, shaggy mane, horn on his fore bead and large glaring eyes, placed ra ther near the nose, and jaws about eight feet long. Ile did not observe me, and continued asking the bow. omit and throwing the sea alongside into a foam until the former came clear away of the ship. The serpent was powerful enough, although the ship was carrying all sail, and going at about six knots at the time he attacked us, to stop her way completely. When the bowsprit, with thejibboom sails and rigging, wont by the board, the monster swallowed the foretopmast staysail and flyingjib with the greatest apparent ease ; be also snapped the thickest of the rigging asunder like thread. Ile sheered off a little after this, and re turned appprently to scratch himself against tho side of the ship, making a most extraordinary noise resembling that on board a steamer, when the boi lers are blowing off. A whale broached within a mile of the ship st this time, and the serpent darted off aster it lilies flash of lightning, striking the vessel with his tail, and staving in all the star board quarter gaily.

It was to cut a hole in a lemon and wear it on the Linger like a thimble—the felon being encased in the fruit. MiirA bright little girl of fire years was recently standing by the window, busily examining a hair which she had just pulled from her head. " What are you doing my daughter?" asked her mother, whose curiosity was excited by her eager gaze. "I'm looking for the number, mamma," said the child; " the Bible says that the hairs of our head are numbrred, and I want to see what the numser is on this." • larlt is very common for homely people to disparage beauty, as if it were theinvariable accompaniment of dull ness and depravity; whereas Nature, in spite of occasional freaks, is a great lover of symmetry, and with a good face is very apt to give a correspond ing mind and disposition.

Wosid that they- Alt—their power and exerted it on the farmer as well as they do on the orator and war rior. Farming can never take its - true rank among the occupations of our country till the women properly ap preciate it, and are as ready to load a hand and heart to the farmer - as to the merchant and professional man. The contrast between our country mod England in. this respect is striking.— The duchess and the queen herself 'Ake an interest in all that relates to the ad vancement of the farming interest, and do riot feel it beneath their dignity . to notice an improved Durham or South Down. Whereas, I asked the daughter of one of our farmers a short time since about, a beautiful calf' of her hatrines and she had never seen it. She 104 heard her father speak of such a calf but bad not felt intereet enough in it to look at it.

The solubleart of the soil is the in organic food of f the plants. Bain water cannot come in contact with the soil, or even with a gravel heap without dis solving some of it. Expose almost any stone, or handful of gravel, washed clean, to the action of a quart or so of rain water several days, and upon evap orating the water, it will be seen from the residue left that a portion hiss been dissolved. Now let these same stones be exposed, covered or partly ootered with water, in a saucer, to the notion of frost, setting them out of doors for two or throe cold nights, taking care that they thaw by day. Pouf off the water, rinsing with fresh, and evapor ate as above ' and it will to seen that a very much larger quantity has wine into solution. The reason is, that, all stones being somewhat porous, by the action of the frost their outer postaon is broken up, soaled and fissured, and a vastly treater surface is exposed Ur tho action of the water, even though this fissuring is net visible to the (Irk— IV hen land is exposed to alternate freer.- in b er and thawing, the same ant, must take place.—Scientific Americas.
