PEGASUS IN THE IroB.ll/1•
FROlt THE GELLMAN OP sensual.
To a horse•markct, once, or fair,
Whore various things are'turned Lo *aro;
A hungry poet brought, 'tis said,
The Muses' i 3 teed to sell or. trado.
The Hippogriff neighed clear And loud,
And bore himself so nobly 'prdud,
Each hind astonished stood and cried,.
..Tho royal beast t Pity his side,
•
So Slim and graceful, wore deformed
With ugly wings for Slight more formed!
The richest post-chaise
- he might grace„
Or foot it nimbly in a race ; • • '
But who would coach it throngh the air I"
So now ono will his monoy spare.
At lest ,s tenant seized the thought:
"The Wings," says he, are good for nought,
-But I can clip or bind them down, • .
And then the horse is the beat in toWn.
Here goes: I'll venture twenty pounds."
The merchant overjoyed responds,.. . ~.1
'"Agreed ! - The horse is yours.''-'---Elate--- -
.Tohri hastened. home at gallant gait.
The noble steed was quickly geared,'
But like the deuce he pitch'd and roared,
When scarcely had the unwonted load
Yet touched his back; and o'er' the road
Ho crashed with wild desire of flight,
And threw the cart with generous spite
Over a side-bank, steep-inclined.
~Quitego o d,nsays Jolut..l.l.enceforthrilmhod.
Tiro crazy beast won't work alone;
Experience must for faults atone.
I meant to take a trip to-morrow
With 'Coach mid four; when to 14i - sorrow -
I'll place him single at the tongue's end;
The nimble crab a span shall lend,—
Time will his foolish madnesi mond."
The start went well. The prancing steed
Fancied the trot; with arrow speed
The - wagon sew; but what's wrong now
He saw the clouds above him glow,
And not wellused the ground to beat
With steady hoof and guided feet, f
He quickly left the beaten track
And true to nature's stronger knack,
ITo ran through moor, and bog of sedge,
o:er plowed field, and thorny hedge.
A kindred madness seized the rest,
No call availed, no rein represt
Their crazy light, until at last
They landed John, with fear aghast, -
_Upon_a ruggedino_uxitain7a_sido;
His wagon jolted well and tried.
" That's going at a.thund'ring pace,"
Says John, with-very longthen'd fees.
-"It never will succeed, I doubt;—
Let's see! I'll starve the madcap out.
I'll rate him well and scant his diet,
Twill•cool his blood and make him quiet."
Forthwith 'tisdeMe. Through stinted faro
The graceful steed grow lank and spare,
E'er three days fastened to the trough.
! , !I've found, I've fouini it, sure enough!"
Ciied John with joy. "Again I'll gear
And yoke him with my strongest steer."-
'Tis said, 'tis done. A comic Sight, ~
The etuedy-ex andwinged,Wlght • • -•-
Together yoked in rustic plow!
•
With,a bad grace be bore it now;
lie strained and torn with all his might •
To take his unstained airy flight;—
In vain! his,fellow had some wit,
And Phi:obits haughty steed must fit
ills step to that of bulky steer;
Until at lea exhausted sheer—
Fatiguedja limb,. end out of wind—
The
star-born horse with shame chagrined,
Rolled - to the - earth in d ust - nnd - sweaty -- -
And would mot budge in stubborn pot.
• "-Theour . sed beast!" At length outbroke
of_John,_with.lich.nnlotroke.
"If then to,plow your worthless too
Some scoundrel's.chcated me with you."
While thus in rage ho swung the thong
A lusty fellow* came along,
Jocose, and droll, and smiling bland ;
A harp resounded in his hand,
And o'er his shoulders white and fair;
In ringlets spread the golden hair.
"Whither toy friend, - with t311.9:11 a team?"
Cried he to John. "Or do I dream!
An oz and bird in such a plight.
I beg you, what a novel sight!
Commit the steed awhile to me,
And hell do wonders, you shall see!"
• The Hippogriff was loosed,
And, laughing, leaped the youth upon his back
The steady hand that ruled his starry track
He felt as ever used,
And spurned the baser rein, aria rose on high,
'With lightning gleaming from his glowing eye.
No more as formerly,
A God, a spirit now, with royal wing -
Ile proudly mounts where warring tempests fling
Their banners on the sky.
And o'er he's followed with the wond'ring sight
lie sweep's away to heaven's empyrean height.

My old acquaintance, Charles Boldenough,
MIS pronounced to be, by. the tutors, as well
as by - tho -students of D— College, ..the:
most unlicked „cub" who ever misconstrued
Virgil. Their 'experience was undoubtedly
great in this species of natural history, bat of
nil' the hard characters who fell under their
inspection and jurisdiction, I question if there .
was one who could with any share of success,
dispute with him the enviable claim of being
the hardest. Tall, athletic, with a huge frame
capable of any Moto, and health that never
failed him; with a passionate temper, and a
stentorian voice Whose thunders were the 'ter
ror oftheroungerboys,Charlesßoldenough con
(rived to overawe with brute force all the sniely -
fry, And to convince, the other collegians that
it WAS beskto yield
,passively to pretensions .
which - could - only be - contendedwitirmay ehaZice --
of success, by wrestling powers equal - to his
own. He was in fact the gladiator 'of D
College,-champion I should have called him,,,,
-were it not that he was constantly at war with'
the profeeors and faculty, who might be said
to represent it: The incorrigible laziness and
-ignorance-which : marked his-scholastic-carecr,
Were fruitful sources of complaint and repri
mind; the frequent boating expeditions, the('
sporting - excursions; - and- fishing-parties, on
which' he - was absent, sometimes 'for entire
days, would unquestionably have; terminated,
the-courseof his .studies, and released. the'
feeshmen from their dreaded tyrant, by his ear
ly expulsion, had it.not been for -the influence
of powerful family connections, and the .per-
Banal interference of his friends.- But in the
course of time, hefinished his collegiate labors,
with all the honors, and a scarcity' of black
oyes, and bloody 'timed; immediately prevailed'
suck as had not occurred for. years:
I separated fiom hiMat that time; and heard
nothing of, him for a long interval. When P.
next paw him, he was .married. The person
whentnly_pagnacieus` nequaintince Lad made
the object of his choice, was 'a fair, blue-eyed, -
timid little woman, with h frail figure, delicate
health, and temper mild as the summer_mormL
ing. What ;Mudd have induced her to ally her
with this bolligerent.power, I never could
imagine. Whether she had fallen in love with
that great burly countenance, and loud voice;
or whether, as the youngest of ten children,
she had snatched at the crown matrimonial as
affording an escape from a diAgrecable home,
or whety some one of her friable compelled
her to do it, I have always found it impossible
to determine. I only know that at the first
interview, I saw enough to pity thepoor being
'in my heart. She hung upon the arm of her
Alcides, like a snow-drop on a rock. Illy friend .
had never had ranny_pretensions to%eatty;
and his rough red -visage and portly figure, ,
bore witness of a right boisterous and jolly
style-of living. Ills first act after his marriage
was to engage in a violent quarrel with his
wife's-father and eight -stalwart-brothersrthe
result of which was a total cessation of inter
course between the two families. ills young
partner was completi to receive the boon com
panions of her better half, to the entire exclu
sion of her own friends. The home of Chitties
Boldenough was a 'constant scene of dinner"
parties, and oyster suppers innumerable, Which,
as they frequently ended by an altercation be
tween the host and his guests, were a contin
ual source of agitation to his wife.-
A perfect angel of peace and gentleness she
was. , She bore, with unexampled resignation,
the thraldom which was destroying her health
and comfort. She tried, With patience,-every
means of pleasing a man who never allowed
her to know what he liked, as it would have ta
ken away all room for grumbling. With s4u
pulous care she tended to his little vexatious
wants, his epicurean tastes, his trifling whim
sical peculiarities. If she wished to remain at
home, ho forced her to go abroad; if she were
desirous of going out, ho made her stay with
in doors. If the liked a person more than
commonly, ho, in the Words of the vulgar,
"made the house too hot to hold them." If,
on the contrary, she was annoyed by tho pres
ence of one of his acquaintances, she had time
and opportunity.to get rid of her:abhorrence, ,
since she was continually visited with their
company. Ile scolded, grumbled, and fund
fault with everything she did ; with her acts
and tier intentions alike. If she ordered a ser
vant to-perform-any-particular dttly,-he imme
diately countermanded the orders ; if she made
any change, hOwever slight, in the family ar
rangements, no penance could expiate the of
fence. So sho lived on, with almost a struggle
for her existence, having learned the impor
tant mythological lesson, that ilyinen, like ,
Janus, wears two faces, and that the temple of
the fernier god, unlike that of the latter, is
never closed. She had several children (who
fortunately all died before their mother,) but
Bolcieuough, on the ground that women 'were
not fit to bring up boys, constantly interfered
in the educition of the girls, and made his - wife
as wretched by this means as by any other.-
Ile punished when She rewarded, and indulged
when shereproved; ho scut them to fiche°
when she would have educated them at home
and reaped his reward,' bybaying theta secret
ly fear and hate him. Poor Mrs. Boldenough.
complained not, but she grow ell - in — air and paler
every year, and her voice, as
_if lost amid the
loud tones forever reverLciating in her ears,

My friend, Mrs. Iloldenough Would have made

Sweeping before her the convivial:revellersof

Mr. Itoldenough attempted to make Al .gal

commanded; and exhorted; scenes of conflict,
dreadful to witness - , took place °between the
warlike heats. The lord of the mannion'a bur

with as much formand strength as a dinner-
Fairlibeaten and vanquished, he shrunk
from the ground; she; Undismayed, "keeping
the natural ruby of her cheeks, while hie wore
pale from fear." .
Va vials! Wo to the conquered ! The reign
of Mr. Itoldenough was over; a'. new dynasty

Mechanism, in tho largest and minutest sense
Of the - word, presents a vast idea- 2 --a subjeot in

to a belated comprehension of it. Tho mecha

telescope oven to
,get a glimpse of it. The
work of infusoria, or microscopic animals, is
wholly-beyond the power of ,the naked eye.—
Vegetable mechanism, in thousands of forms ,
is inexpressibly minute and beautiful when
viewed by a powerful microscope. 'Within a

‘oo minute, for any human power, during any
human life, to comprehend, the elements of the
whole aro entirely within the reach of the child
of five, or even of•threct years old. The most
important element is the most simple cbject of
human observation—a simple three sided fig
ure, or equilateral triangle. Such a figure ev
ery pupil in any school of five or five hundred
scholars' may form, at least approximate, any
moment, when the opportunity should be affor
ded by their teacher, simply by placing before
them slates and pencils, with permission-to use
them. Several of these figures combined ex

bined in a different form, they show the crys
tal of the diamond, of gold, of iron, of load,
and of nearly ithundredrforms of mineral crys

to show the importance to every human being
of a familiar acquaintance: with ito elements,

IMPROVEMENT IN DRILL-MActuics.—An im
provement in drill-machines has been made
in England, by which a sufficient quantity of
water may be deposited with the seed to Art : -
sure its germin'ation, oven in the driest time.—
In many instances this may of much im
portance. It often happens that sowing may
be deferred, after all preparations are comple
ted, or else the seed must be put in the ground
with more or less risk of its failure. Some
times there is barely moisture to swell the
seed; without - fully developing-the 'root and
blade, it will seldom start again. By wetting
the soil, as is said to be done by this drill, so
as' to bring up the plants quickly, all this risk
May be avoided, the crop may be sown with
out any delay, and may frequently be forwar
ded considerably from what it could have been
if Bowing had been delayed till theearth was
moistened by rain, For root orops espeCially,
this' will bo of Much advantage. The same
inachine also drops ashes, plaster, bone dust,'
guano, and other firm manure, in the drill with

THE COLD WATER BOY.
BY BEV. P. 0. WOODWORTH'
'hen I was a child, as every body knows,
he drinking of rum, brandy, and Other sister
spirits, was a much more general thing in the
community than it is now. Indeed, almost
every body drank—drank a little, more or less,
and quite . as often more, pethaps, as less. At
- that - time, - in - our neighborhoodi-composed,-for
the most part, of farmers, if a man had
toted the question whether it Were .a possible
thing to get through thus important .season of
haying 'without the use of New England :rum,
or some equivalent of a similar nature, ho
would_have been set down as a very proper
subject for an inmate of a lunatic asylum.
' Even Deacon Pettfatid; -- eneArTe - Wmt - men,„
we all thought„thrived, and to ,whom
we ui3elLto-letelp a sort of oracle in all mat
e -tegith and practice, end° set up a laugh
so loud, that ho was heardlor nearly a quar
ter of a.mile, when Squire Notle told him ho
had a great mind to give his hired men root
beer and coffee, instead of rum. "Why,"
asid the good deacon, "your men Will. melt
doWn if you don't give them rum. They can't
endure the heat without a little of the good
creature, You are crazy, squire; you are
crazy."
. I must not
,stoiliere,_fatippose, to. moralize_ _
or to philosophize. But I cannot help Won- •
dering how it came to pass'in those days that
rum was such nn excellent thing in summer
to - " Itei4r - thelteat-out,"-and - that- itwas
equal
ly potent in winter 'to keep out the cold.' Are ..
they not a little too astounding for belief?
Well, there was in our neighborhood araN)dd
kind of a follow, who got the name of the
"cold-water boy." Ile WU a son of Squire
Noble, by the way, Whether his principles
were duo, in part or entirely, to the queer no
tions respecting rum-drinking generally as
cribed to his father, Ido not know. Tho old
man was ordinarily called no*-a-days a "tee
totaller," by any means. lie drank eider, and
allotted his family to drink it, as freely as they
~chose. Nor did ho l 'hositate, now and then,,
when he thought ho needed "a little dome
thing," to go to the cupboard, and drink mod
' erately from one of three or ,fonr ddeanters,
which alwolys stood there. Still, 'his notions
about drinking were widely different from
those of most of his neighbors, including the
good deacon aforenamed, and ho often' ook
occasion to warn his children'of the evils_ re
sulting from the free use of liquor. Ile had
not quite - come to the conoltision that every
body was better off on the whole without it
than with it, though ho seemed to bavo been,.
on the highway to that conolitsion.
,Ned Able, however, his second son, strode
along that highway with quicker steps than ho
was able to tako. In - that - comparatively dark
age—dark; I mean, tO far as the almost „tint
versa' sentiment on the subject of dram-drink
ing was concerned—Ned had in some way or
other cyphered out tho result to which good
men have so generally aimed at' this day,
namely, that, if it ie . bettor to drink a little
than to drink a good deal, it is bettor to drink
none at all than to• drink a little. Ned was
something of a philosopher, I presume.
The next summer after the conversation be-,
tween Deacon Penned and the squire about
giying up liquor in baying-time, proved to - be,
a very trying time with the latter. Ile had a
largo amount of grass to cut, and needed some
eight - 8r ten men in the midst 'of the haying'
season. He found the mon, and set them to
work, Ho furnished the New England rum—
of course ho did. Very t likely ho could not
have obtained the men on any other conditions: -
At any rate, he honestly thought so. The re
sult of the ruin-drinking this year was a great
deal.worao than usual. There was scarcely a
day during the harvest season that one of his
men - clid not get too drunk to 'Work; before ;
mid one Saturday afternoon, though there was
t
a thunder - storm coming up, d several acres
of hay needed scouring, - three of his Men got
so drunk that they. could not s and, in. Cense

any more of the stuff. Other folks may get
just as drunk as they like, and just as often
as they like; but I've no fanny-that way."
And hero the matter ended. • Ned drank to

great deal of spat about the "sold water
Vey," as they were, pleased; td callhim. But
ho did not mind their fun. i , Let those laugh
that win," said . ho. One-of the first things
that he did, after making known his novel de
termination, was to go down to the stone, and
purchase a now wooden bottle, (called a rend
let; I believe, on tbe farm,) and on this bottle -
he had his,name painted., The reason for this, -
ho said, was that ho slid not wish to smell the
odor of rum, as ho invariably had to do, when
ho drank from the other bottle.' Ned was at.
ways the merriest fellow on the farm; and he
was more full of lifeand enjoyment after he
had left off his grog, than he was before. Ho
never seemed to consider any Fait of the bu
siness of farming as hard a Mak. can see
him now, in imagination, with his rundlet of
water in his hand, and with- la straw hat,
perhaps, all trimmed with flowers, or heads of
wheat, singin'g sonic, merry air, as he stopped
to teaks moment, under the shadow of a tree.-
