" Give us this day our daily bread," And pies and cakes besides, To load the stomach, pain the head, And choke the vital tides, And if too soon a friend decays, Or dies in agony We'll talk of "God's mysterious ways," . And lay it all to thee. Give us, to please a morbid, taste, In spite of pain and death, Consumption-strings around the waist, - . Almost to stop the breath ; -.- ' Then if deformity attends ! Our stinted progeny, In visitation for our sins, We'll lay it all to thee. Give us good houses, large and tall, To. look the cabins down And servants dodging at our call, And shaking at our frown ; The poor, however worthy they ; We'll treat quite scornfully Then six pence pay, communion day,- And settle up with thee. We do disdain to toil and sweat, - Like girls of vulgar blood ! ... Of labor give us not a bit, -'. hr. For physic nor for food, 'And if for want of exercise, We lack'the stamina Of those we trample and dispise We'll lay it all to thee. lf any curse we have forgot, That on a votary : ' " Fashion lets fall, withold it not, - ' . But send it grievously ; And if too hard the mill-stone light For frail humanity, We'll never blame ourseb'es a mite, But lay it all to thee Curious History of the Trade in Peg ged Boots aud Shoes? In the August number of 'the Plough, the Loom, and the Anvil,' we find the following interesting history of the trade in pegged boots and shoes, and in connexion with agriculture : Some days since, in a store in New York, chance threw in our way a little printed jeport,' by J. R. Pitkin, 68 Broadway, David Stevens and John H. Cornhiil, 'commissioners of the American Union Company,' formed for what, does the read er suppose ? Why, for manufacturing 'staple or pegged boots and shoes ! Well, the curious facts disclosed in this report are, among others, that in December of last year, Jo'seph Walker of Hopkin ton, Massachusetts, who'made the first pair of peg ged shoes ever seen in this or any other country,' was still alive ; and that he had gone on, making his pegged shoes and boots for more than ten years, without competition ; after which, while ho was (as we hope he is) still living, the trade in the article had increased in his State to the amount of $18,000,000 annually, giving, as stated in the roport, 4 constant, honorable, and profitable employment to 60,000 inhabitants,' of Massachu setts ! And yet say the commissioners, the de mand for the manufacture exceeds the supply ; which they urge, should now be rn.et by ihe pro posed Union manufactory in the.cjly of New York, with rfranahea.in the surrounding country. The Way of the World. Why is it that such a strange disposition exists in human nature to neglect the needy, and help tho3e who need no help ? Every body knows there is such a crookedness or perversity in human beings, inclining them to pursue just the countra ry course from that which charity, or even wis dom, would seem to dictate. The destruction of the poor is their poverty ; and this poverty, wheth er of brains or earthly pelf, is always tending to aggravate and exaggerate iself. As in agricul ture, the dampness of the hill side attracts the clouds to come and discharge themselves on that hill, so that what was too wet before is made wet ter still, while land which has been thoroughly drain ed, is less likely to be visited by such rains, so, in the affairs of life generally, the natural course of things is always against the needy man, and favorable to him who does not want. 14 To him that hath shall be given, and from him that hath not shall be ta kan away even that which he hath." Who are the recipients of the munificent pres ents from their fellow men the poor, who are half-starving for want of bread ? No it is the rich, who already roll in luxuries, and can buy anything which may gratify their whim or fancy. To what colleges, hospitals, &c, do testators leave vast legacies ? Is it to those that ate strug gling with debt and embarrassment, and which can hardly keep their heads above water ! No it is those which are already endowed, and which have received many such magnificent gifts before. There seems, indeed, to be something in a big heap of wealth which is always attracting the"lit- tie heaps towards it. But because men or insti- tutions want help, they do not get it. For the that some cases of loose bowels are cured by eat very reason that they need a push, they are left to ing plentifully of good ripe fruits uncooked, as they struggle on of themselves. Because they have supply sourness to digest tlres&sSigested articles been treated cruelly by fortune, they get " the cold shoulder" from men also. Go into the school-house, and you will see the same law exemplified. Upon what class of pupils does the pedagogue bestow the most care and pains-taking upon the dull and thick-headed, who most need his assistance 1 No, certainly : he be stows his time and attention chiefly upon the "bright" and clever boys the inherently active, who would get on quite well by their own unaided energiesand leaves the talent-lacking and lag gard to drop down to the bottom of the class, to which Nature had pre-doomed them. It is easy to declaim against this as a wrong state of things ... . contrary to common sense and all that; but,A - -"-s- b""B .... r.u .. u a u.n'een more of our cub, I was marched, under such is the way of the world : and, as another has i , , , , , ,.. , . ir a guard of the king s officers, and lodged in Ld- remarked, it would be too much to expect of mor- . ... Ar, ? .,mm, urfnn i ' . i r a- inburgjail. After a summary hearing, 1 got tal pedagogue, that he would give up the feeding of those who take their meat kindly, and appear to thrive upon it, and devote himself to a struggle with the intellectual langour of the dunces. In all departments of business, the same princi ple holds good. When the neophyte most needs credit, he finds it hardest to get it, and has to pay an enormous rate of interest to the " blood-sucking private discounter," but once above the neces sity of asking credit, and all the world rushes for ward to trust him with goods or money. The hardest task is to make the first accumulations ; after that, all goes smoothly enough. Who are the lawyers and physicians that are the favorites with the public ! Not, certainly, the hundreds that are almost starving for want of a client or patient who have plenty of time upon their hands, and can give a thorough examination to any particular case. It is the worst possible disqualification of the young practitioner, that he needs business that he has time to execute what ever he undertakes. Were he highly skillful and experienced, it is felt, he would have no time for people would to him for advice and assistance. It is, therefore, to the man who is already over whelmed with business who is known to be in cessantly occupied, and can grant hardly an hours consideration to the gravest matters that all the world runs for counsel. A fsw moments of his precious time are felt to be worth more than weeks or months of an obscure person's who has no bus- iness, and consequently no experience. Thus things go on continually in a vicious circle with the briefless lawyer and the physician destitute of patients, and the young merchant and mechanic. Because they want business, they do not get it; yes, they do not get it ; and it is only by some unexpected ' hook or crook" of good luck that they succeed, if ever, in rising above the s.tate of non-employment and obscurity to which thcyjeem doomed. There is something wrong about this state of things: but thus it will doubtless remain, so long as selfish principles are moro dominant in the world than philanthropic, or that common article, "human nature," forms the principal ingredient in the moral constitution of man. Yankee Blade' fX0 A spruce young buck was boasting of his success with the fair sex, and among other things, declared that he might have sparked it with a lady whom ho named. " Why then," said his friend, "did you neglect such a golden opportunity IV "Because," answered he, "she begged to be ex cused, and I was such a duced fool that I excused her I" . " Wife I am shortly to leave you-the Doctor Is me that I can live but a few hours at the most; tells I will soqn be in heaven." What 1 you soon be in heaven 1 you ? you'll never be no nearer heavem than you are now you old brute !" " Dolpheus Doneus.!1' hoarsely growled the the old man. Dolpheus, bring my cane, and let me larrup the old trollop once more before I die."j Facts About Digestion. The gastric juice is essential to digestion. It is caused to flow into the stomach as soon as any substance is introduced into the stomach, wheth it be a peace of leather or a peace of beafsteak ; this juice contains an acid and the more indiges tible any article of food is, the greater amount of sourness does the gastric juice contain, hence when persons eat something that does no agree with them, that is, not easily digested, they say it soured on the stomach, or complain of heart burn. The use to make of this is, whatever article of food is followed by sour stomach or heart-burn, that article is hard of digestion to that stomach, and ought to be avoided altogether, at least it should be taken in diminished quantity. But do not forget that different stomachs bear different things: and what disagrees with you to-day t may a gree very well next week or next month, and the stomach must be humored, however, fickle it may seem. Sometimes, however, shall I not say nearly al ways, people eat so much that there is not gastric juice, or acid enough to digest the food, then it fer ments, produces belching, cholicky pain, sick stomach and the like, therefore, common vinegar, which has more of the properties of the gastric juice than any other known substance, is often used to very great advantage, especially by per sons who have weak stomachs, to aid the stomach in digestion. Hence vinegar is plentifully used with cabbage, raw or boiled, with cucumbers, etc Hence it is, that catsups of various kinds are eat- en, and sour crout almost digested by the vinegar it contains, before it is eaten. Hence too it is, of food which give rise to diarrhoeas which are not of a bilious character. Hence too, a good ripe ap pie or two, a little sour, after a hearty breakfast or dinner, is advantageous rather than otherwise provided not much more than the juice is swallow ed. The better plan by far, however, is not to eat so much as to to require an apple to save us from the effects of our imprudence. Dr. Hall on Throat and Lungs. The Church and the Tavern.

I was then in my tweniy-second year. When the ship cast off from ihe wharf, in Scotland, and swung round with the breeze, my father stood upon the shore. He waved a last adieu, and exclaimed, " Remember the Sabbaih day." I arrived at New York on a Saturday, and, ihe next day being the Sabbaih, at nine o'clock, A. M., three young men of our company called at my lodgings. " Where are you going to-day !" ihey in quired. " To ihe church," I replied. " We have been ten weeks at sea ; our heahh requires exercise. Lei us walk out to day, and go to church next Sabbath," they re plied. "Said I, "you can go-where you please, but I'll go to church ; the last words I heard from my father were " Remember the Sabbaih day ;" and, had 1 no respect for the Fourih Commandment, I have not yet forgouon his last advice." They went to the fields ; I went to the church ; they spent forty or fifty cems in the tavern ; I put a one penny bill in the plate, in the morning, afternoon and night sevice ; to tal three-pence. They continued going into ihe country, and in process of timo the landla dy's daughier and the landlady's niece would i " . t 'Plin -nsk nmtnlo liirnrl Join "lBir uP yic" 7a"uZ gig, al InU UUIiaio a. uajr , iiiukj wmw cream on iho road, fifty cenis each ; dine at Jamaca one dollar each. They got horge at eight o'clock, P. M., half drunk, and, having been caught in a thunder shower, their coats, hats, and maniles, were damaged fifty per cent. They rose next morning at nine o'clock, A. M., with sore heads, sore hearts, muddy boots, and an angry conscience, besides twelve dollars lighter than when they siarted. I went to church, rose at fie o'clock. A. M., head sound, heart light, bones refreshed, conscience quiei, and commenced the lebors of the week in peace and plenty. They were all mochan- I1C3 SOme Ol ilieill cuwu cam voiu uu""'- week. My business, that of a wrought nail maker, was poor ;the cut nail machines had just got imo operation, which cut down my wages to a shaving. With close application, I could only earn five dollars and fifty ceni per week. Never mind, at the end of tho year, my Sabbath-riding-ship-mates, had fine ctfais, fine hats, powdered heads, und ruffled shirts ; but 1 had one hundred hard dollars piled in the comer of my chest. Having lived fast, they died early. Nearly foriy winters are past, and forty summers ended, since the last was laid in the Potters, or some oiher field ; while I received from mv maker a good constitution, (and com mon sense 10 take care of it, I'm as sound in mind bodv and spirit, as I was on this day ag0 when firsl , 8et my f00l a( Governenr'a wharf, New York' Be- ides, it's a fact, (for which my family can vouch,) I have been only one day confined to ihe house by sickness during all thai period. Now Mr. Primer, I dare say you think with me, that the charch on the Sabbaih is belter than the tavern and fields for ihe laboring man. The Whale's Strength. The most dredful display of ihe Whale' strength and prowess yet auihentically recor ded, was that made on the American Whale ship Essex, Captain Pollard, which sailed from Nantucket for the Pacific Ocean, in August 1849. Late in the fall of ihe same year, when in latitude forty of the South Pacific, a school of sperm Whales were discovered, and three boats were manned and sent in pursuit. The mate's boat was struck by one of them, and he was obliged to return to the ship in order to re pair ihe damage. While he was engaged in that work a sperm Whalerjudged to be eighiy-lhree feet long broke water tweniy rods from the ship on her weath er bow. He was going at the rate of about three nots an hour, and the ship at nearly ihe the same rate, when he struck the bow of tho vessel just forward of her chains. At the shock produced, by the collision of two such mighty masses of matter in motion, the ship shook like ,a leaf. The seemingly malicious Whale dived and passed under tho ship, grazing her keel, and then appeared at about the distance of a ship's length, lashing the sea with fins and tail, as if suffering the most horrible agony. He was evidently hurt by the collision, and blindly franiic with in-, stmciive rage. In a few minutes he seemed to recover him idf, and started with great speed across the vessel's course to the windward. Meanwhile the hands on deck discovered the ship to be gradually settling down al the bows, and ihe pumps were 10 be riggid. While the crew working at ihem, one of ihe men cried out " God have mercey ! he comes again." The whale had turned at about forty rods from the ship, and was making for her with double its former speed, his pathway white with foam. Rushing ahead, he struck her a gain at the bow, and the tremendous blow stovo her in. The whale dived under again and dis appeaed, and the ship foundred in five minutes from ihe firsi collision. But five souls out of the twenty were saved. Quaker Meeting. Paddy, attending a " Broad-Brim" Conven tion for the first time, was much astonished and puzzled withal at the manner of worship.-T Having been told that the belter " brethern spake even as they were moved by the Spirit," he watched their proceedings with increased disgust for their " hayihen way of worship," till one young Quaker rose and commenced solemnly : t "Brethren, I have married" " The divil ye hev !" inierupied Pat Qua ker sat down in confusion, but the spirit mov Pat no further, the young man mustered cour age and broke ground again : " Brethren I havo married a daughter of the Lord !" " The divil ye have that !" said Pat, " but it'll be a long,-long while before iver ye'll see your father-in-law." Quick Wit. Ones of the readiest replies wo ever heard'1 was made by an irish laborer. A gentleman travelling on horseback " down east," came upon an Irishman who was fen? cing in a most barren and desolate piece of land. " What are you fencing in that lot for, Pall" said he. " A herd of cows would starve to death on that land. " An' sure yer honor, bit ; wasn't I fencing ' it to kape the poor bastes out of it 1" J"P77e Boy that was killed at Troy, (N. Y.,) on the Fourth, by the explosion of the bass drum, is gelling beiier. The coroner "sat on him" till he was glad to come to. Quilp Says that a married woman without , children is inconceivably behind the times. One of the best and soundest lawyers that" ever sat on the bench of Massachusetts, was Judge P. He was always distinguished for' the urbanity of his manners, and ihe benevo lence of his spirit ; and ihe" story I have now--io relate, illustrates, quite forcibly, this charac teristic. Judge P. was raised in Barnstable, and at the time wo refer io, assisted his moiher as much as nossible. in keening a country inn.

One evening, a way-worn traveller armed' wilh a bundle suspended from a cane, entered ihe inn and asked for something io oat. His J dress was noi calculated io inspire the behold er without any vast ideas of wealth, but rather of one who lived by travelling on foot, and beg oina a niphi'a louVins of benevolent inn-keen- . ers. Mrs. P. cast a glance at the traveller, and seeing his shabby coat, formed a pretiy accurate estimate of his ability to pay for what- - : t. . l r. :i ii.: - ; ever migm do lurmaueu mm.
