If childhood be the happiest time,
As oft I've rend in flowery rhyme,
And-primary schools are reckoned "prime,"
It was otherwise far with me.
Tway ariver 'of tears, and a forest of birch ;
The Primer for years required research,
lire volatile Thought was forced to perch
On the alphabetical tyge.
The teacher tall, whs a maiden slim ;
The light of the hall was dismally dim;
Her ferule. 4 slim, inquisitors grim,
Were vieu'ed with juvenile terror:
With nnxious.heart 1 hurried to school,
While yesterday's whipping was hardly cool,
Tor the ruler ruled—a terrible rule—
' For every primer -live error. _ ,
But greater trihls were yet in store;
While studying geogpiphical lore,
Which proved to be a horrible bore,
• Though soothed with Solomon's oil:
The 110-ang-Ito and liyan-Ku,
To me,"were towns on the Timbucktoo,
Where mountainous scenery charmed tho
And m'very salubrious soil.-
And theli there' came 4rithmetie dread ;
i;cammatical rules , aC heavy ns lead,
IN ere heaped, with agony on my head,
Till it throbbed and throbbed again
To spoil the rod,, and pity the:child,
hiy all was deemed a sentiment wild,
And all esteemed a discipline mild .
Heretical doctrine, then.
When boyish quarrels were settled in fight,
lie bettered and bruised however we might,
It seemed to give the teacher delight
To whip us agaln at school ;
Though hinds would smart, and torture impart,
Our pride, forbidding the tears to start,
With anger's dart would poison the he — art
'Gaiust abedednrian rule. -
. .
To.wbip a boy, as you punish a. beast,
Is surely unwise, to call it the least,
And doesn't encourage to Reason's feast, •
Or help the march of mind: -
Dispense with blows you 'certainly can;
A kindly word is the happiest plan
For making the Bey a generous man—
A
noble, intelligent, kind. • J. E. 0

NEWSPAPER SUBSCRIBERS.
Tao following .classification of •newspaper
subscribers we take from the Prairie Farmer,
and from' our own experience wo can safely
say the picture is drawn as natural tis lifer it
self. First come - the I •
UPRIGllll3.—Those are men who take news
papers, pay•for them, and rend them. See the
order in whioh these thinks are done the pay
comesfirst—the reading next: These men
consider they get the'worth of their money in
the bargain. It seems as fair and just (ci them,
that the newspaper should 1:',6 paid for, as 'a
'barrel ot sugar °r e m new coat. They never I,
.entertain any other opinion. When the year
runs out or a little before they' are on hand
with the pay. There is, no more difficulty with
them in reperabering this period,..than Sunday
or the first of 'January., If one of thenovish
es to stop his paper, ho either calls or writes a
letter by his postmaster, ib duo season, like a
man. This class is dear to the heart of the •
editor. TheiiNmage is embalmed in his warns
affections. .411ay they live a thousand. years,
and see t 4 r.goKsons, to the fourth genera
tion. The'second 'aloes now in mind ; is the
--Do-WEms.—This :class is-neaily- related to
the other—so near, that it is hard to tell where
one begins and the other_ends, • These_rnen-al-,
ways pay in advance in tte beginning, and in
tend to do so continually. But memory fails
a little, or sonic mishap intervenes, and the .
time runs by— : sometitnes
for quite a period. But their.recolleotion, tho'-
nodding ociasionally, never gets sound asleep,
but pronounces the word in duo time,—" The
printer is not paid;" their will to do well kin
dles into activity. Now comes the paying up,
Meant to do is before.
.Don't mean to let
such things pass by." A publisher can live
with such men. They have a Warm place in
his memory-,only a little back of the Uprights.
If such a man-dies in arrears, his wife or son
remembers that he may not have paid up for
his newspaper,*and forthivith institutes inqui
ries. They remember that part of the benefit
was theirs, and estate or no estate, see that
1 the printer's bills aro not among their father's
unsettled accounts. Next comes the
EAST Doses.—These men believe in news
-papers' . They have fully - settled it=in their
minds that a newspaper is a good thing: They
take them too; - Sometimes - at - the first-they
pay -up for the first year—at- any Tate they
mean to, pretty soon. If they have douo so,
they sit down with the comforting conviction
that their newspaper is now• settled- for ; and
this idea having once got info their heads, re
fuses obstinately to be dislodged, but keeps its
hold from year to year, p., blab onee-L;,i.e. : an
illusion; geoy.and rheumatic with yearl. :,yhe
editcir marking the eleagatect and elongating
space in the accounts current of their dollars,.
begins to asicif they aro dead or have gone to
California.. Now ho begins to poke bills , at.
them. They suddenly-start-up-at-the reality
that they are in arrears ; and like men, as they
are at the bottom, pay up. They never dispute
his bills—they know heels tell hatter •Storiea
than moss-covered meinories. If the publish
er has faith enough, or a long purse, and can.'
live like a hibernating bear, he may eurviie
these men. But if he is mortal only, woe to
Xho next class id that-of-the
Dowx-Ilittsits.—llere we begin to slide o
vor to the other side. The picture suddenly
gets sombre. We shall despatch the down-bil
lers suddenly. • Ono of these. may take a pa. ,
per because his wife;Wanis one, or the children
are 'zealous to read it, or %neighbor persuades
him. When it begins tO , came lie dismisses all
thoughts about it further. If the editor-sends
a man directly to him at the end of twd or,
three years, he may get some pay for his pa
per, but with growls and sully looks: Ile nev
er pays any debt if he, can get rid of it, and a
newspaper least of all. Still ho hates law-suit:
and constables and all that. A dun has tI e
same effect on him that a bullet has on a h'p-
Popotanius, glancing from his hide, or sink ng
into the blubber harmless. Ho is , always eh- .
dingdown hill and soon merges into tine her
class, that of .
THE NIX Cum Rousr.--No matter how this
man began his subscription, he never pays-for
it—not he. "lie don't like that sort of a pa- .
per. It don't give no netts. Ito never did
like it. He didn't want it in the first place and
told the .postmastei so.• Ito sent back one
more than a year ago—besides he never began
to take it till along time after it came, and he
hadn't had only.two,or three of them at any
rate, and those he hadn't read." yip° him .
elf. Here comes the. , ,
&urn Camon.—lt is easy enough to say of
him that he never fails to have a newspaper—
two or three of them. When he thinks they
hale come about long enough fur-the publisher
to want pay, he sends back with " - stop
Oahe takes his cinarters and loaieu for

ARffiIDIETECAL It9GIiESSION.

--it might do,testuff down the throataof pose

And •so it was with o'crytiiing ;. he always
knew beet. It always appeared to be his de
light. to. draw mo into same controversy, no.
matter what the subject; iri order to hoar him
self hold forth. I tried every way eould,
think of to circumvent him,ancl -at length I
did.sucoeed in laying him out as dates a
flounder.
It wag on Saturday afternoon, 'he came in,
made his purchase, and seated himself, to deal
me out my usual portion; but I wae awak 2 c for
him.

"You give one cent for the first box, two

FOOD AND DRINKS:FOR THE SICK.
' As,More or less sickness alriaYs' prevails,
we havo though that we could not perhaps ren
der better service to our feniale friends than
by giving a few reoeipts. fel: cooking or prepa
ring food and drinks for sick persons. Many
bcliorolept families, which are blessed with
health 'themselves, may have sick or poor
neighbors, forwhom it would be a mercy and
also' a"privilego to prepare and send occasion
ally a nice dish, if they only possessed the re
quisite knowledge of pie Paring it. To .such
we recommend the following chapter, with the
hope that when ocoa‘ion offers they will *not
be slow to putitcrequisition the knowledge. it
affords. `We copy them from that true friend
of Amorioan housewives, Mrs. Beecher.
' General Remarks on the Preparation of Arti
cles for Ole Sick.,,Alwari have everything you
use very sweet and clean, as the senses of
taste and smell are very sensitive in sickness.
Never cook articles fog the sick over a smoke
or blaze, as you will thus impart • ti„ smoky
taste. When the mixture is thick, stir intent
ly to prevent burning. Be very ca r eful in put
ting in seasoning not to put in too much, as it
is easy to add but not to subtract.
, The nicest Ivey Lo flavor with lemon or or
-ringe-peel-is to rub loaf-sugar-on the peel-till
till is absorbed into it, and then use the sugar
to flavor. and siveetpn. Herbs and spice, when
boiled to flavor, should be tied in a , rag, and
they -will not then burn•on the vessel at -the
edge.
Chicken Tea is made by boiling any part of
the chicken, and using the broth weak with
only a little salt..
Chicken Broth is made by boiling chicken a
good deal, and skimming very thoroughly and
season with salt. A little rice or pearly barley
improves it; or a little parsley may be used to
flavor it.
Chicken Panakis made, by pounding some
.of the meat of boiled chicken in a mortar,
with a little broth, and also a little salt and
nutmeg. Then pourln a little broth and boil
it five. minutes. It should be a thick broth.
Milk Porridge.—Make thin batter with Indi
an meal 'and wheat flour, a spoonful of each,
and pour into it u quart of boiling milk and
water; equal proportions of each. 'Salt it to
- the taste. - Boil teu minutes. -
I?ice Gruel and Oat Meal
thin paste of ground rice or Indian Meal, and
pour iuto boiling water or boiling milk and wa
ter. Let7the•Tioe boil up once, but the corn
meal must boil half an hour. Season with salt,
sugar and nutmeg. • A rlittle creaniis a groat
itnprovement.
.trrowroot and Tapioca Gruel.—Jamaica ar
row-root is the best. -111tike a thin past . ii, and
pour into boiling water, and flavor ivith sugar,
salt and nutmeg. A little lemon juice improves
it,,:
Tapioca must be soaked in twice the quan
tity of water over-night,- them add milk, and
water, and'boil till it is soft. 1 7 1civor as a
bove.
Dropped Egg.—Salt some boiled water, and
drOp in a raw egg out of the shell, tnkingcare
not. to brake the yolk; take it up as Soon as
the white is hardened: Dip"some toast in hot
water and put salt or butter upon and lay
the - cgrolftolt: --
Herb Drink.--Balm tea is often Much reli
shed by the 'sick. Sage tea ie also ,good.—
Balm, sage and sorrel, mixed Irith,sliced lem
on, and boiling water is Poured on, and then
sweetened, is a 'tine drink. Pennyroyal
makes a good drink to promote perspiration.
Herb drinks must often be renewed as they
grow-insipid standing.:
64/ser Simplc Drinka.—Pour:boiling water on
to tamarind's, or mashed cranberries, or mashed
whortleberries, then pour off the water and
'sweeten it. And a tittle wine if allowed.
Toast bread very brown and put it in cold
water, and it is often relished. Pour boiling
water on to broad toasted Very brown, and boil
it ono minute, then strain it and add, a littlo
sugar and. cream.
Si nylb IVine .Whey.—Miz equal quantities
of water, milk and white wine. Warm the milk
and water, and then add the wine. Sweeten
to the taste:
c 4 Great Favorite Tqllz invelids...—Take one
third.britit cider, and two-thirds water, sweet-.
en. it, and crumb in toasted crackers, and grate
on nugmeg. Acid jellies will answer for this,
when'older cannot be obtained.

BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.
Ilasmos contains the following
beautiful passage:
"We possess a genuine fragment which
Cicero has preserved to us from a lost work of
Aristotle. It runs thus:—"lf there wore be
ings who liyed in the depths of the earth, in
dwellings adorned with statues and paintings,
antltvery thing which is possessed in richa
bundance by those who we esteem fortunate,
audit' these beings could receive tidings of the
power and might of the Gods, and could thon
emerge from their hidden dwellings through
the open fissures of the earth, to the places
which we inliabit-L.if they could suddenly be
hold the eartli, and the sea, and 'the vault of
heaven, could recognise the expanse of the
cloudy firmament and the mighty winds of
heaven, end admire the sun' in its majesty,
beauty, and radiant - effulgence; and' lastly,•
when night veiled the earth in darkness, they
could behold the starry heavens, the changing
moon and the stars rising and setting in the'
unvarying eolirso ordained from eternity—they
would surely exclaim, there are Gods, and apt'
great things must be the work Of their hands."
It has boon justly observed that this passage
is alone sufficient to corroborate Cidero's opin
ion of "the golden flow of Aristotle's eloquence,"
and that 'his worka are-pervaded by-something
of the inspired force of Plato ;$3 genius. Such
a testimony to the existence of the heavenly
powers, 'drawn from the beauty and etupendous
greatness of the works-of creation, is. rarely
to ho met with in the works of antiquity.
GOOD.
"In time of Peace. prepare for Wer."—A
young lady of wealthy parentage, a fledgling
from one of "our fashionable boarding, schools,
a typo of modern elegance, was recently uni.;
ted by the silken do of matihnony to a gemof
a teau. 'The mammas and papas on both sides
being surrounded by all the conooMitants

phernalia bespeaking the possession of " dust,"
'determined to get a fine "establishment" for,
the young, couple, and, accordingly, they were.,
fixed" in a mansion out Walnut street, on
"the West,End."
• A few days - afttir this, a schOtil sonspancon'of
our heroine celled upon her, and-was surprised
to find tio:4-iiiiTY'iervants about the house. - -
" Why, Mary;" said- she, " what, in the
name of sense, have you so many people about
you fO'r?"
- " Oh! replied Madam, "we havn't anymore
than we want. There is but one, cook, one
chambermaid, two house girls 'one house kee
per,. and--a—ski/073 sure thoro are
not too many !"

want with a child's - nurse! -Oh! 'that' is too
funny."
" Well,' we havn't any ininiediaMuse for tor,:
but then, when we were married, Merles said
that we would want one, and you know its not
always best to leUre • things be until the last mo
ment:" •
FOR GOSSIPS.
The following paragraph which we find float
ing in'tbe newspaperx, - lays - it — on — the gossips
with nn unsparing' hand. We think there are
few in '8 u r neighborhood whose characters are
minutely described by it, and of Which it would
be well rid:
The slanderous women poisons the atmos
phere of her entire neighborhood, and blasts
the sanctities of a thousand homes with a sin—
gle breath. From a woman of this class no
thing is sacred; she fattens upon calumny and
upon' slaughtered-reputations. She is the
ghoul of eastern story, transfOrred -from the
Arabian Nights to the fireside circle. She ne
ver :asserts anything—she merely hints and
suppoies, and whispers what they say. Every•
neighborhood in the city is infested with some
creature' of this sort, and in country towns
they are even afflicted with two or three of the
ghoul women. Otte is enough to set a him
dred families by filo cars ; tvrp can break up a
church; three are sufficient for any kind of
mischief, from the seper • ating the husband from
theliifo, to blasting tho fame of stainless
girl. A pure Woman is simply an angel embo
died in hundus shape; a)slandtbrous woman is
something worse thaiieholer,a—certainly as ia-
fectiOns as the Yellow fever. •
!-The saying that " you cannot moko a
silk purse of u ; sow's ear," is almost falsified
by a juggler named Bosco; in London, who
will stand !men isolated position before his am
dionc'e, holding a guinea pig in his hand, which
ho crushes by:dogrees, the pig and his: squeal ,
growing beautifully loss, until nothing remains
but 'a silk purse filled with :guineas. • Whore
the pig goes to, and how the guineas appear is
its place; while the conjuror stands in a tight
dross, and with no visible connection with-any
thing but the floor, is the wonder.

A NOBLE tOY.-A boy was once tempted by
some of his companions to pluck ripe cherries
from a tree which his father had forbidden him
o touch
"You need not be afraid," said one of hie
companions, " for if your father should find
.out that you had them ho is so kind that ho
irrUld not hurt you."
"That is the very reason,"•replied the boy,
"Why I would not touch them. It is true, my
father would not hurt me; yet my disobedi
ence I know would hurt my' .father; and that
would be worse to me than anything else."
