THE BURSTING OF THE BUD.
Spring , is coining—Spring is coming.[
With her sunshine nod her shower!
Heaven is ringing with the singing
Of the birds in brake and bower;
Buds nro filling, loaves are swelling,
Flowers on field, and bloom on tree ;
O'er the earth, and air, and ocean,
Nature holds her jubilee.
Stift then itdenling conies a feeling
O'er my bosom tenderly;
Sweet I ponder as I wander,
For my musings are of thee.
Spring id coming—Spring is coming I
With her mornings fresh and light ;
With her noon of chequered glory,
Sky of blue and clouds of white.
Calm and gray night falls, when light falls
From the star-bespangled sky,
While the splendor', pale and tender,
Of the young moon gleams at night.
Still, at morn, at 130011, and even,
Spring is full of joy for me,
For I ponder, ne I wander,
Aud my musings are of thee.
Still on thoo my thoughts are dielling,
Whatsoe'er thy name may be;
Beautiful beyond words tolling,
Is thy presence Unto MO:
Morning's breaking undo thee waiting,
Wandering in the breeze's light;
,Noontid •'a glory mantles o'er thee
In a-shower of sunny light;
Daylight dying, leaves thee lying
In the slivery twilight ray ;
Stars look brightly on the nightly
Till the corning -of the day..
Everywhere and every minute
Feel I neer thee, lovely one ;
In the lark and in the linnet
I can hear thy joyous tone.
But and blooming, mark the coming )
Of thy foot o'er vale and bill ;
And thy prolenoo, with life's essence
Makes the forest's heart to ring ;
Low before thee, I adore thee,
Love creative, thee I sing :
Now I meet then, end I greet thee
By the holy name of Spring.

NOTES BY THE WAY.
If there are periods in a young wan's life
more interesting than others, they are those
in which ho bids farewell to the home of hie
youth, and launches his frail bark upon the
troubled waves and is compelled to guide the
prow by hie own strength, amidst the quick
sands and which the strife, and cool-
breakers,
Motion of the nestling world are continually
opposing to his onward course. With sad and
lingering steps he leaves the paternal roof, for
he-feels that hereafter his fame and fortune
are in his own keeping, and that if he rise and
win a name it must be by-his own exertion.
Nature teaches lessons of practical wisdom,
such as if heeded will direct our footsteps into
paths which will 'Mill us into positions where
we can have opportunity to extMt our abilities
to the best - adviintage. We Bed when twigs
are permitted to surround- the parent stem,'
that their growth is sickly, their form slender
and unseemly. When they are, in the course
of time, deprived of their proteMor, they are
unfit to stand in the place of the stately tree,
Which bore the storms of centuries and bade
defiance to the blast, but under the writhings
of the first tempest their beauty is deStroyed,
their branches are scattered, and their trunks
are nattered. Murk a kindred. twig which,
has been removed from the shade to a suit
from which it has drawn an undivided nour
ishment; rocked by the stormy winds, it sonde

and becomes a lofty tree, that laughs at the
blasts and unheeds their angry motions. The
analogy between a twig.and man, is in this
case so very perceptible that it would bo un
necessary for me to truce it, since, without
doubt; my reader has anticipated me in its
delineation, by placing befere His mind many
noble examples of our greatest statesmen,

who, in their younger years left their hems

CAOLISLE, PA., WEDNESDAN, APRIL 5, 1854.
When we contemplate the position. which each
nation has and is occupying, we see that meld)
has depended upon the circumstances of the
time, place, and necessities of the age, and in
every instance where we discover that a peo
pie has gained an eminence in any sphere of
thought of notion, we,oca perceive the causes
which have produced that particular protni- .
tmmy.
•Mlty has Switzerland been a retreat for the
learned and gifted of modern Bum* when
ever they wished - to rear a monument more
lasting than brass and have a mane which the
sponge of oblivion cannot orate? Why hae
Italy been the home of eloquence and song?
Why hae Greece been the fountain from which
thought Ins flowed in snob rich luxuriance.
that the stream has not yet been exhausted?
Why is it that Germany, the store-house into
which learning is collecting her choicest Cen.-
Burka and distributing her lucubrations; and
why has America' been a mere caterer? And
how long shall it' be before sho takes that proud
position iti the republic of lotterd and thought,
which her eminence in the political world en
titles her? lt may be urged, that we have
COMO late upon the stage and are compelled to
react the drama, which others have produced;
that they have exhausted the limits of origi
nality, and that we already possess BO mull
that it is useless for us to add to our store.—
But he who will but for one moment consider
the superior advantages we possess not only in
having the result of their Inhere, but also a
better and more eftended acquaintance with, l,
the laws and operations of nature in every de
partment of investigation, must perceive the
futility of such arguments. Though we pos
sess these superior advantages, in eome things
our advancement does not appear proportion•
ate. It is true we travel ten times the dis
tance our fathers did in the same length of
time, we pass over much more of the country
than they did, but our knowledge of these pla
ces, through which we pass with „lightning
'Teed, is not so acute as that of those who had
an opportunity to observe every thing minute
ly and at their leisure; we do not become so
well acquainted with the habits, customs and
manners of the inhabitants, as they—who met
with them at their fire-sides tied partook of
their hospitality. Yet much can be done by
those whom pleasure or business calls into dif
ferent sections of the; county) , to enlighten
those, who prefer to remain at home, and no
one should consider himself a citizen of any
State or country unless ho has made use of all
the means in his power to become informed
respecting the reitatirces and national advan
' Loges which that State or country' poskeasee;
tier is he Pi:enured - to. perform his duty as al
member of a body politic if ho be ignorant of
the wants of its members. If Ibe able to as
sist by this hurnble effort in the general die-
Vribution of knowledge, and in influencing my
yOung countrymen to seek the moat eligible
positions for thstidevelopment of their energies,
my labor will be fully compensated.
With these prefatory remarks, I will pro
ceed io my next to lay before the reader a few
observations, which have occurred to me as I

and thriving family , of farmer Evans. •

rately prominent, and sufficiently well-shaped,
is yet, as fur as I know atinnymous, although
it he perhaps as common and as wall looking,
a feature as is to ho ectiihtl , 4uHtt.- English nice.
Altogether, they were, is pair of tall and
comely maidens, and being constantly attired
- in garments of the Immo color and fashion,
looked at all times so tnueffelike, that no stran
ger ever dreamed of knowing them apart; nud
oven their acquaintance were rather accustom
ed to think and speak of them genprally ne
the "Evauses,"' than odd; separate individ
nals Jane and Patty, Easel/me who did pre
tend to distinguish the sue' from the other,
were not exempt from mistake, which the sis
ters—Patty espeoially, rifto delighted in the
fun so often prociuced,by'rhe unusual resem
blance—were apt to fevor i by changing places
. in a walk, or slipping fryn one side to the
other at a country to4orty, or playing a
hundred little innocent ttieks to occasion at
!once a grave blunder andirmerry laugh.
Old Dinah Goodwin, for iistanee—who being
rather purblind, was jealous, of-being suspect
ed of seeing less clearly than her neighbors,
and had defied even the Eyanses to puzzle her
diseernment— , seeking in rain on Patty's band
the out finger which she had dressed on Jane's,
ascribed the incredible core to the merits of
her oen incomparable salve; and could hardly
be undeceived, even by thr s ,pulling off of Jane's
glove end the exhibition of the lacerated
digi
tal'sewed-around by her ownlandage. Young
George Kelly, the greatest beau in the parish,
• having betted at a Christmas party that he
would dance with every pretty girl in the
room, lost his wager (which Patty had over
heard) by that saucy damsel's slipping into
her sister's place, and persuading her to join
her own unconscious partner; so that George
danced twice with Patty, and not at all with
Jane. A bantering piece of malice which
proved, as the young-gentleman (a rustic ex
quisite etlfirst , water). wee pleimed to assert,
that Miss Patty wae,not,dinpleased with her
partner. How little tine4 j a vain man know of
women kind! If sho had liked him she would
not have played the trick for - the mines of
Goldonde..
In short, from their sil day's, when Jane
was chidden for Patty's _-wjd :Work, and Petty
anspinnt - rot"Jene's - ond ads: is-la this,
their prime of womanhood, there had been'no
end to the confusion predueed.by this remar
kable instance of family likeness.
And jet Nature—who sets some Mark of
inviduality upon even her meanest productions,
making some unnoted difference between the
lambs dropped from one ewe, the robins bred
in. one nest, the flowers growing on one stalk,
and the leaves hanging from one tree—had
- not left these young maidens without one great,
and permanent distinction—a natural and etri
king dissimilarity at temper. Equally indus
trious, offeetiona to, hippy and kind; each was
kind, happy, ..froctionate turd industrious in a
different way.. j•tee' Tyne grave, Pally wno
gay. if you hen, d a laugh or a song, be sure
it was Potty; tche who jontried the stile, when
hoe sister Aped the gate, was Patty; she who
chased the pigs from the Ridden as merrily OS
if elle was runuingm rneei so - that the pigs did
not mind her, ass patty.
• On the other bend, she that so carefully
wee making, with its own raveled threads, an
Invisible darn in her mother's handkerchief,
and hearing her. little sinter read the whiles
she that was so plitieutly feeling, one by one,
two broods of young turkeys; sheibtit was so
pensively watering her own bed:of rare flow
ers—the pale hues of the Alpine pink,,_or'tho
alabaster blossoMs.of the white-evening prim
rose, whose modest flovveroodying off into a
blush, resembled her own character—was Jane.
Some of the gossips of Aborleigh used to
assert that ; .Jniso's sighingoveitize flowers, as
well es the 'early steadiness of her character,
arose from engagement to my lord's bead gar&
seer, an intelligent, sedate, and sober young
Bootehman. Of this I know nothing. • Certain
.•
tt is that the prettiest and newest plants were I

Affairs were in this state when ono night
Jane appeared even graver and More thought

ed deeply; Patty—for the two sisters
shared the same little room—inquired fondly
what ailed her 4. The inquiry seemed to make
Jane worse. 'She burst into tears, while Poli

she roused herself by a strong effort; and tur

I have great vexation to-night, Patty.—

'Charles Poster ! did you say Charles Fes

even to trust to her own sense against the ev

'Tog, tineciousin, Charles Poster.'

Patty. in a hoarse voice.
'Oh, no—no—no I Do you think I have for

'Poor father. 'He will be disappointed. Bo
will mother!'
'Tiicwill be disappointed, and both angry
—but not at my refusal. Oh, how they will
despise him,' added Jane.
Poor Patty, melted; by her sister's sympa

usual in Abel mild and gentle girl, could no
longer command her feeling's, but Mpg herself
on the bed, in that agony of passion 'and grief
which the first great sorrow seldom fails to
exalts in a young heart.
After a while she resumed the convitrea

meant•more than they really did, and you had
all taken up the notion. Bat you must not
apaak .f him so unkindly. He has done noth

and the sisters, mutually nod strongly affect
ed, wept in each other's arms, and were com
forted: '
That night Patty cried herself to sleep; but
such sleep is not of long duration. Before

irritability, the dewy-grass walks of the gar

'Patty—my own sweet Patty! have you

:PARENTAL DUTIES
A father of a family is bound to Adjust his
economy with a view to all necessary dethaAda
upon his fortune; and until a sufficiency for
these ends is acquired, or in duo time proba
bly will be acquired, frugality and exertione
of industry, aro duties, He is also justified
in the declining expensiv. liberality; for, to
take from those who want, in order to give to
those who do, not, adds nothing-to the stook of
public happiness. That far, therefore, and no
farther, the plea of 'children,' of 'large fami
lies,' 'charity begins at home,' &a., is an ex
cuse for parsimony, and an answer to those
who solioit our bounty. Beyond this point,
so the use of riches becomes less, the desire
of laying up should abate proportionably.
The truth is, our children gain noes° much as
we imagine, in. the chance of this world's hap
pities's, or even of ItsextSroal prosperity, by
setting' out in it with large capitals. Of those
who have died rich, a great part began with
little. And, in respect of enjoyment, there I.
no comparieen between a fortune which a man
aoquires.by well-applied industry, or by a ae
ries of successes in business, and one found in
his possession; or received from another.
CONVERTING. TRE FRENCH.
It is said that a Scotch clergyman once un
dertook to convert some French prisoners con
fined in a castle. Returning from the castle
one doy, the missionary met Dr, Jienry , When
the following dialogue, as we learn from pop
ular monthly, took place :
'What ha'e you been doing in the castle, Mr
John ?'
'l've been about my Master's week, Doctor,
'converting the poor deluded Malys tho FranOh
prisoners.'
'A most orthodox employment; of oourse
you understand the language ?'
' ne'er a'word can I speak.'
'astonishing—how did you get on V
.To tell the truth, Doctor, it• was no sally
matter ; for the first time when I tried to be
serious with them, they jeered and-made a fool o'
me, but I fell-on a better plan the next day ;
ordered a great bowl o' punch, and we sat at
ound it and drank to one anitberl they laugh
and I leugh—and we ken, Doctor, 'the Lord
works his sin work.'
TUTIE AND BRAITTIVIIL.—George Hillard, of
Boston, says :
"I confess Vial increasing years bring with
them an increased respect of men who do not
succeed in life,, as those words are commonly
osed. Heaven has been said to be a place for
those who have not succeeded upon earth;
audit is surely true that celestial . graces . do
not beat thrive and bloom in the hot blaze of
prosperity. 111-success sometimes arises front
a super-abundance of qualities in themselves
good-from a conscience too sensitivo,a taste too
faetidlous, a self•forgetfulness too romantic), a
modesty too retiring. Ido not go so tar as to
say, with a living poet, that 'the world knows
nothing of its greatest men.' but there are
forms of greatness or at least of excellence,
which 'die and make no sign ;' these are 'mar
tyrs which miss the palm and not the stake ;
heroes without the laurel, and conquerors
without the triumph."
Tint Comeau' or Scissoz.—Courage in the
battle-field is celebrated in history and in song
but little is said of the courage , exhibited in
pursuing soleuilile t4ongli often

when Arago and Dulong wore employed by the
French Government to make experiments upon
the'aubject of the construction and safety of
steam boilers, the task executed by the two
philosophers was one of as Much danger is
difficulty. The bursting of boilers, to whiCh
they were constallly; exposed in a limited lo
cality, was more hazardous than that ofehells
upon battle-field, and while military officers
who isolated them—mon of tried courage In a
oonfliot—grew pale , and fled from the scene,
the :Savans:procceded coolly to mike their
calculations, and to °boom the temperatuie
and pressure upon boilers earliest at the very
