From the Ohio State Journal.
WY SOT.
I have a little bright haired boy,
With eyes of blue-bell hue,
And cheeks as velvety and fresh
As roses bathed with dew,
His lips as flagrant seem to mine,
As strawberries in May;
And with a lisping voice he sings,
Hurra! burrs for CLAT.
Three summers only bath he seen,
And when I hear his voice,
So full of melody and glee,
It makes my heart rejoice.
Be sings full many a merry tune
And old familiar way,
But 'mong them all he loves the treat,
To sing burrs fur ULSI!
One said to him, “Don't sing that song,
My boy; 'tie quite too late;
Hurrah for Polk and Dallas now,
For Clay is out of date."
The boy looked up perplexed and sad.
As if he meant to say,
He's so ,a, and I may sing for hint,
Hutto! hurra for Clay.
Yea, child; he is as worthy now
As in his palmieat days,
When voices joined the shoat and song
That now forget to raise;
Those voices will be heard again.
And join some other lay
As loud. as lung, as bold and free
As when they sang for Ct.oa.
But I will teach thee, darling boy,
If I am spared by fate,
That noble deeds and daring truth
Are never out of date;
And teach thy infant lips to sing—
The world say what it may—
Another, and as great a name,
The name of Casatus CLAY.
And when thou comet to be a man,
Oh! may my guerdon be,
To see thee Erm and fearless stand
The friend of Liberty.
The champion of the poor opprean'd,
Owning no tyrant's away.
E'er struggling for thy country's weal
As true as Cassius CLAY.

The Two Wind-Mille.
♦ YARLI-BT G. I. GOODRICH.
Two neighbors living on a hill,
Had each—aide by aide—n mill.
The one was Jones—a thrifty wight—
Whose mill in every wind went right.
The storm and tempest vainly spent
Their rage upon it--sound it went!
E'n when the summer breeze was light,
The whirling sails performed their flight;
And hence a village saying rose—
As sure as Jonjs mill itgoes."
Not so with neighbor Smith's—close by,
Full half the time it would not ply—
Save, only, when the wind was west,
Still as a post it stood at rest.
By every tempest it was battered,
By every thunder-gust 'twits shattered.
Through many a rent the rain did filter,
And, fair or foul, 'twos out of kilter,
And thus the saying camo at last--
''Smith's mill was made for those that fast."
Now who can read this riddle right?
Two mills are standing on a height—
One whirling brisk what'er the weather--
The other idle, weeks together?
Come, gentle reader, tend thino ear,
And thou the simple truth shalt hear
And mark, fur here the moral lurks—
Smith held to faith, but not to works—
While Jones believed in lath—and so,
By faith and practice made it go!
Smith prayed, and straight pent in his bill,
Expecting Heaven to tend his mill ;
And grumbled much when'et he found
That wheels ungreased would not go round.
Not so with Jones. fur though as prayerful,
To groove his wheels he e'er we. careful ;
And healu I with ready stitch each rent,
That ruthless time or tempest sent.
And (111.1:1, by works, his faith expressed ;
Good neighbor Jones by Heaven was bleat.
A Loon Swist.—The Sandwich Island Friend
of October 1, 1845, narrates a feat in swimming,
that surpasses any achieved in that line ever done
by either Franklin or Byron. The Friend says:--
"On the 28th of September, Stephen Dresser, who
belongs to Portland, Aldine, was taken on board
the whale ship New Bedford, in the harbor of Hon
olulu. He reports that on the evening of the 26th,
he jumped overboard from the ••London Packet,"
having taken from the captain's boat his life•prc
server. On Saturday morning he could just die•
cern the loom of the mountains of Oahu. After
swimming all day, at the firing of the nine o'clock
gun he was abreast of the two men of war, in the
outer harbor--after getting upon the reef he tried
to walk, but the surf and waves dulled him along,
and at the time of being picked up was nearly in
sensible—having been in the water thirty or more
hours! /le reports that he left the "London Pack
et" on account of ill-usage, and that the crow were
disorderly."
Tux Corr or FAIMION.--It is said that five hun
dred millions of dollars are spent annually in the
United States, for such articles of dress as are sub•
ject to the fluctuation. of fashion. Of this sum it
is computed that 16 millions ars spent for hate,
probably about 20 millions for cape and bonnet.,
and for other articles of dress not less than 400
millions. The precise amount In peoded for boa.

The Patient Shop-Deeper.
Many years ago, there lived in Cheater, Penis's.,
an old gentleman who kept a dry goods store, and
was remarkable fur his mild disposition, so much so
that no one had ever even him out of temper. This
remarkable characteristic having beams the subject
of conversation, one of his neighbors who was
somewhat a wag, bet five dollars that he could ruffle
the habitual placidity of the stoic. He accordingly
proceeded to his store and asked to see some cloths
uitable fur a coat. One p:eze was shown him and
then another ; a third and fourth were handed
from the shelves; this was too coarse, that wos too
fine, one was of too dark a color, another too light;
still the Diogcnes continued placid as new milk,
and no sooner did his customer start on of to
a particular piece, than he was met by some other
variety being laid before him, until every 'ices in
the shop was unfolded to his view. Thu vender

i ist visit to America, formed one in a flaking-parry
in Massachusetts Bay. He had been selected to
deliver the welcoming speech to the Frenchman on
his approaching visit, and during his occupation of
hauling up codfish and !smog, he, was observed to
be very abstracted. It appeared afterwards that he
must have been studying that part of his speech in
which he afterwards addressed Lafayette, for a gen•
tleman who was fishing nest him observed him
pulling in his line, hand over hand, with some dif-
(lenity, as if a large fish was hooked, yvt without
exhibiting any satisfaction on his face at having
raptured a prize. At length the fish was seen ap
proaching the surface and gleaming through the
green waters, like a lively bladder of quicksilver;
still Wchster's face gave no smiling welcome; but
just as the fish came to the surface, he burst out
with —Venerable mar.! the representatives of the
two hemispheres, welcome to our shores,' and down
clopped the 'monster cod,' on the deck!"

Double Assassination.
On the night of the 22nd of December, the wife
of Shadrack Nichols, his daughter, aged eight
years, and a eon of four years old, residing on Hick•
ory Ridge, a short distance front Helena, Arkensee,
were murdered while Mr. Nichols was one hunting
expedition. Suspicion fell on Nelson, a yellow
boy belonging to Mr. Bowman, who is a near neigh
bor to Mr. Nichola. The bcy was brought to tows
and lodged in jail, where he confessed his guilt.
The Helena Journal seye that the boy wr theet
till the faintly were asleep end then killed Mr..
Nichols, breaking her skull with a hoard, and after
ward killed the two children because they awoke.
There were mill two children in the house, see
about eight years old, a L'attgl.t.tr of J. Sehestin.
EN., end niece to the lady murdered, and the other
a little son of Mr. Nichols. The fiend then palmed
his hand over the faces of these two, to see if they
were awake. The boy was still asleep, aed he
supposed the little girl wan also, as she moved not,
but in Ode lie was mistaken, ae the little girl had
the courage and the presence of mind enough to

A Suet: ran Sea TRE.sat.nr..—We have been
at a loss to conceive what kind of safe would in
reality be aide for the projected Sub Treasury
against thieves and depredators. Blowing off locks
wnh gun powder is the latest fashion, but the Roth
childs of France have invented a wonderful piece
of ineehoni‘m to prevent any removal of their &-
pontos, which we shall be under the heoetnsity of
adopting for our United State. Treasury. If a
person attempts the lock, or tampers with it in the
slightest degree, an iron hand and arm is thrust out
front the door, clenches the offender and holds NMI
1110.i01111. in its iron embrace, while at the same
instant a hell is struck in a room over head, seen
pied by a watchman, giving hint notice that his
presence is required in the room below. Should
this watchman not get down to the aasistance and
release of the wretch held liy the iron arm in fifteen
minutes nine, then a hlunderbuas is discharged into
the body of the tresapassor. Thus he is mercifully
allowed 15 minutea grace to reflect upon the enor
mity of his cflence. It is told that a few years since
a man was caught by the iron nippers and the
watchman came to his release only two minutes
before the blunderbuse would have been dischar
ged.

keep no company at all.
