SONG OF A LITTLE HEART.
1 'II clog thee a song of a dear little heart,
That belonged to a dear little maid,
And I'll tell thee in rhyme of the curious part
That this dear little heart once played.
For the little maid asked her heart one day,
As it beat 'math her bosom of snow;
In faith,"little trembler, would'st thou away /
But the little heart answered—No !
And there came an old man with furrowed cheek,
With his head so bald and grey,
And he jingled his gold, and thus did seek
To enttee this heart away.
Ha ! ha! said the little maid, with a laugh,
Old man with thy head of snow;
Dost think that I care for thy yellow chaff
And the little heart answered—No !
And there came one with a titled name,
And a string of L's, M's and D's, [dame
And he said that his breast was consumed by
The no:light but this heart could appease,
$o the little maid asked her heart again,
Prithee, little one, wilt thou go f [deign
But the heart was vexed, and would scarcely
To answer her—No ! no ! no !
But there came a youth, gay, careless and fair,
And he stood 'neath a broad tree near,
And he sang so softly and sweetly an air,
That the maid came close hear, [heart
And he kissed her and smilled as she premed her
With her hands it fluttered so,— [depart
And she blushed and sighed as she bade him
But her little heart said—!lo! no !
Honesty is the nest Policy —A True
Story.
About Thirty years ago there lived on the
banks of the Susquehanna a poor negro, who had
the good fortuna to own a cow. But by unfore
seen circumstances, he had been deprived of the
means of sustenance for her. How to keep his
cow from starving was now the great exciting
question. He was honest to a fault, and detest
ed the name of thief but after canvassing the
subject in different ways, he was forced to come
to the conclusion that his cow must either die,
en he must go to his neighbor's barn and get hay
fur her. Accordingly one night he went and be
gan to pitch MI a quantity to take hOrne. At
the same time he was continually talking aloud
to himself, and saying " Honesty is the best
policy, but my cow shall not die." At last,
however, his honest nature triumphed, and he
commenced pitching the hay back on the mow,
saying—" Honesty is the beat policy, and my
cow shall die." But then thoughts of his desti
tute cow again rose in his mind, and he again
pitched the hay off the mow. 1, Honesty is the
beet policy," cried he, " but my cow shall not
die." Again did the voice of conscience tell
him he was doing wrong ; and again did he
pitch the hay into its place. 1, Honesty is the
best policy and my cow shall ,lie ; " saying
which he laid down the fork and went home.
•' My cow will die," said he, 1, but I will not
steal for her."
But his cow lived and had plenty to eat, but
he did not steal it. No, for the very next day
the farmer brought him a load of hay, saying to
him, " Honesty is the beet policy, and your
cow shall not die." fhe poor negro was over
whelmed arid confused. It was evident that
the farmer had heard his soliloquy the night be
fore, and had taken this plan to reward him for
his honesty. He rallied and thanked the donor
very profusely, telling him he had saved him
from becoming a dishonest man. The story has
its own moral.—Farrner's Advocate
Our Wood Crop.
One of the most singular phenomena
connected with our history, is the little
fluctuation that ever takes place in our
timber market. Wood brings but little
more per cord now than it did twenty
years ago, and yet the quantity annual.
ly consumed by our cook stoves, ship
carpenters, charcoal-burners, and other
artisans, is awful to think of. How a
crop that is never renewed stands this
continual drainage, with little or no ef
fect on its price, puzzels us to acount
for. In our opinion nothing shows the
immense resources of our glorious coun
try more than this simple, undeniable,
and well-known fact. When we take into
consideration that the oak timber requi
red for one single ocean steamer would
strip ns bare as the Greek Slave fifty
acres of the best wooded land in the
country, some idea may be formed of
the quantity of land run over by the axe
of the ship carpenter alone. To supply
the ship yards of New York requires
the stripping of five thousand acres of
timber-land annually—a supply that
seems almost impossible that even the
model republic should be equal to for a
much longer period ; and yet slates and
pencils inform us that this immense
supply can be continued without any
sensible addition to the price, or any
apparent diminution of our forest lands.
This fact will be more readily admitted
when we state that the present supply
of ship-timber is principally derived
from the States of Florida, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, and New York, the oak
of these States being far preferable to
that growing farther North. the latter
being more spongy and porous. But
our great timber yard is Oregon, a coun
try that cou?d supply the demands of all
the navies in the world by just "thin
ning out" its "shiporchards."---Ilbany
Knickerbocker.
SINGULAR CURE OF DISEASE IN THE
SPINE.—The Glasgow Examiner relates
ease, endorsed by the most respecta
ble authority, of a young woman, named
Jane Carrick, who had been a confirmed
paralytic confined to her bed for eight
years, that has been completely cured
by the application of air vessels, on
the principle of cupping on the back
(without extracting blood) and taking
no medicine. Her spine has been re
stored to its proper position, and by two
weeks' treatment she was enabled to
walk about. Experiments can easily be
made to test the correctness of this 1
mode of treatment for a disease which
generally baffles the skill of our most
eminent physicians. If there is any
truth ►n the statement, it cannot be ton
widely known, nor too s 0011:

part of my liver and lower part of one of coy lungs.
Notwithstanding all this skill, I grew worse, but
with that tenacity with which we all cling to life,
concluded to have nothing undone, end called
in a consulting physician, who fully concurred
with my own, and pronounced my case an ex
tremely critical one. He thought I was in im
minent danger--saying my disease "was one the
is seldom if ever cured." All this time I was en
during sufferings that made life burdensome ; ex
periencing great pain in coughing ; expectora
ting from a pint to a quart of nauceous matter
every 21 hours, and gradually sinking under the
,weakning progress of my &geese. A t this stage
of my i Incas, my friends in Bristol suggested
the use of Schneck's Pulmonic Syrup, but know
ing the many expedients resorted to for the pur.
pose of draining money from the afflicted, I hes
itated. My friends, however, insisting, I was
prevailed upon to try its virtues. I commenced
taking the Syrup about the first of March, and
used several bottles before I had any confidence
in it. I then began to experience a charge for
the better, and continued it till I had consumed
ten bottles, when I was so far relieved as to be
able to visit Dr. Srhneck in Philadelphia. He
examined me, and pronounced my right lung af
fected, but in a healing con lition. He recant•
mended the further use of the Syrup, which I
continued till I consumed 15 bottles, and found
myself once more restored to health. I will fur
ther add,t ha t the consulting physician, seeing the
action of the medicine, fully approved its use.
To give the reader some idea of the severity
of my case, and the rapid cure affected by the
Syrup, I will state that my usual weight in
health was 177 pounds, which was finally re
duced by my sufierings to but 121 pounds. Yet,
on the first of this month, (September,) I weigh.
ed 174 pounds, thus gaining in a few months 53
pounds, and within three pounds of my heaviest
weight. It is not in my power to convey, in the
hurt space of this certificate, the convincing
proofs of my remarkable core, or the particular.
of the 4onizing afflictions through %Mich I have
passed ; but to those Who will take the trouble to
call on me, at Bristol, opposite Pratt's hotel, I
shall take pleasure in detailing (very perticelet.
In conclusion, I deem it my duty to urge upon
every person who may have the premenitary
symptoms of this fatal diocese, not to delay one
hour, but to call upon Dr Schnuck ithritediately.
His skill in the treatment of this complaint, arid
prompt detection of diseased parts of the lungs
by means of his Stetheseepe, added to sty own
mirecu'ous cure, fully satisfieszhe, that had I' ear
lier submitted myself to his care, I should have
' escaped much suffering; but restrained by doubts
and suspicion '
which Make us all naturally skep
tical in regard to the virtues of a Medicine when
first introduced, 1 resisted the importunities of
my friends till almost too late ; and yielded only
as a last resort, resolved to tt kill or cure." To
shore afflicted sa I have been, again let me say,
hesitate no longer, my own case is presented to
you ae convincing evidence, that when all eke
fails your last hope is in Dr, Schneck's Pu Imonic
Syrup. I have also for the satisfaction of those
who may be strangers to me, appended to this cer
tificate the names of gentlemen well known in
the walks of public and private life, and whose
standing in society admits of no cavil or doubt in
regard to their testimony.
