Youtto Mornsa,—he is gone!
His airtipled cheek no more will touch thy breast;
• No more, the music tone
.• Bloat from his lips, to thine all fondly prest;
His smile and happy laugh are lost to thee—
Barth must his mother and his pillow be.
• His was the morning hour;
• And , be bath passed in beauty from the day,
• A bud, not yet a flower—
TOM in its sweetness, from the parent spray;
The death wind swept him to his soft repose,
As frost in spring-time blights the early rose.
Never, on earth, again
,Will his rich accents charm thy listening ear,
Like some .Bolian strain,
Breathing, at even tide, serene and clear;
His voice Is choked in dust, and on his eyes,
• The unbroken seal of peace and silence lies,
And from thy yearning heart,
Whole inmost core was warm with love for him,
A gladness must depart,
And those kind eyes with manytears be dim—
While lonely memories, an uncoiling train,
Will turn the raptures of the past to pain.
Yet, mourner! while the day,
Rolls like the darkness of a funeral by,
And Hope forbids ono ray
To stream athwart the grief discolored sky;
There breaks upon thy sorrow's evening gloom,
A trembling lustre from beyond the tomb.
'Tis from the Better Land!
There, bathed in radiance that around them springs.
Thy Loved One's wings expand;
As with the quiring cherubim, he sings;
And all the glory of that . God can see,.
Who .aid, on earth, to children—" Come to me."
Blether—thy child is bleat:
And though his presence may be lost to thee,
And vacant leave thy breast,
And missed, a sweet load from thy parent knee;
Though tones familiar from thine ear have passed,
Thou% meet thy First-Born, with his Lord, at last
,11ly 'Uncle's Plum-Pudding.
Reader, I believe 1 must tell you a story
about my uncle's plum-pudding. This was
a condiment that uncle Samuel's numerous
family were very fond of. You must know
that he had the charge ofsoir.e dozen young
sters, whom he found it very difficult to
please. He was very attentive to their
wants, and furnished them daily with fresh
pies. tarts, custards, and other nic.nacs, in
extravagant abundance. But the little fel
lows, after a while, got tired of these, and
began to cry aloud for something now, and
something better. The manner of the in
troduction of the plum-padding to the table
of the dainty complainants, was as follows:
They began anon, 1 say, to complain of the
unvaried sameness and oldness of their mes
imis; grumbling and pouting succeeded, and
daily. increased, and pies and tarts were
carried from the table untested. This pla.
ced uncle Samuel in rather a mortifying
and perplexing situation. The youngsters
must be gratified—that was necessary to
the peabe and union of the family. How
should it be done? Uncle Samuel loved his
nephews and godsons right fatherly; and the
energy and precision with which he would
lay down his cane, cross his legs, turn up
his silver specs, and fold his arms, when
thinking upon the difficulties attending his
situatioaas guardian and provider to such
a . noisy batch of children, manifested the
interest he felt in their happiness and com
fort. lie was sitting alone one day, worry
ing himself upon this point, when he was
- disturbed by a little fellow, who came boun
eing into his study, exclaiming, with a yell
of delight, 'Uncle, uncle, come down! do!
here's mail that's got the nicest puddin—
Oh it's is good! you'll buy it, won't you,
uncle?'
'We'll See child,' said uncle Samuel; and
picking up his cane, he followed his intruder
down stairs.
'Dear uncle, do have some made,' was
beard on all sides.. A pastry cook had en
tered with a fine plum-pudding, steaming
temptingly on a large platter. He gave
Them 411 a taste. They were enchanted,
manifested their delight in boisterous
shouts. -
'What is your name, sir?'
'Nicholas, sir.
'Do you make such puddings?'
made that, and have made many more.
'Will you live with me, and make my
family a pudding like that every day?'
will, sir.'
'Then go into my kitchen, and go to
work.'
The thing was fixed—uncle Samuel was
relieved, and the children capered for joy,
and good order and contentment were res
to*. From that time the plum-pudding
was on the table every day, and great was
the destruction thereof.
'Now this , state of things was too happy
to last long. You must know that uncle
Samuel, in order to have some sort of reg
ulation in his family, appointed now and
then a, monitor, or moderator, whose duty
it`was to see that every thing went on pro
perly and amicably; settle all trifling dis
putes, and exercise a little authority when
necessary, to quell any disturbance, or pre
vent misconduct. The monjtor at this time
happened to be a headstrong, self-willed
ioysterer, by the name of. Andrew. His
'intimate associates were, a bully named
Thomas, and a little cunning, red-headed,
- sneaking meddler, named Martin. These
three, having filled their heads with a crazy
attire to make an experiment in pudding
niaki9g, is saited uncle Samuel, (who was
corkgratuliting himself upon the unanimity,
and good feeling i that prevail
ed le his household fraternity,) one day, and
it*eeded, by snarling and coaxing, in ob
taining from him a discharge of Nicholas.
' did it: ihouted Anfirew with an air of
MitliOietoriatiiilrtction and triumph, as he
beaded ,Nishoias the paper that noted the
dide 444 tarmiaatton of his services. He
trotted It' without surprise or regret, and
adtliediatelv left the house. .
'Now, Make a padding, said An
drew. 'l've seed Nick make therdso often
that I know I can' do it just as well; let% go
into the kitchen.'
All was confusion and disorder, and a
general rush was made for the kitchen, each
one determined to have a hand in the man
ufacture of Andrew's pudding. Bruised
shins, smashed toes, and aching noses, were
abundant; for Andrew had forgotten his duty
and authority, in the eagerness with which
he desired to commence his experiment in
plum pudding making; a desire to meddle
with that about which he knew nothing.
The manufacture commenced. A large
iron pot was put over the fire, and partly
filled with water. A tin pan was then set
upon the table, and the mixing went forward
vigorously. Every busy urchin had a finger
In it, except a few; who folded their arms,
and winking at each other, stood inactive
spectators of the scene. Flour was thrown
into the pan in ad libitum quantities. Rai
sins by handfuls, and eggs dropped in by
the dozen, as each one cracked a shell upon
the edge of the pan. Spoons, sticks, and
forks, served to beat up the delectable mass,
and the whole mass was poured into a bag
and tied "up; thiti was thrown into the pot,
under which a brisk fire was kindled, and
the whole affair seemed to be going off
crackling.
'Goody!' suddenly exclaimed one.
bet a fip we did'nt put any salt in!'
To take off the pot, untie the bag, and
throw in a handful of salt, was quick work;
and the pot again swung with its treasure
over the blazing faggots. It had but just
got well boiling again, when another mut
tered the suspicion that they had forgotten
the sugar!
'Fact!' said Martin; 'haul off the pot.
Francis, bring the sugar bowl.'
In a few minutes the flames were again
curling about the bottom of tho smutty ket
tle, and a sputtering and bubbling began,
that made the three chief cookies chuckle
with delight.
'Martin, don't you reckon it's done? it's
dinner time.'
Martin ventured to assume that it was done;
and the majority backing his assumption
by an open declaration that it was undoubt-
edly thoroughly done, the pot was taken
from the fire, and a large platter brought
for the reception of the pudding. How the
little eager fellows did gather about the pot,
clap their hands, and grin, as Andrew ap
proached to take it up! What a dinner they
would have! Andrew took off the lid.
'Darnation!'
'What's the matter?'
"The pot's as dry as if it never had a drop
of water in it, and the padding is burnt all to
pieces!'
Each hungry pudding lover shrunk sullen.
ly away, mortified and vexed. What would
uncle say? What would they do for dinner?
'May-be the top's done;' said one, remov
ing the cloth. But glance at the revealed
mass of burnt flour. roasted raisins,' and
boiled eggs, confirmed each in the opinion,
that there would be no dinner. They felt
disgraced and chagrined. Just about this
time, Nicholas happening to be passing,
peeped in at the window,und smiled provok
ingly on the long visaged group within. It
was a malicious trick—and the boys could
have spitted him upon the spot. The out
breaking of their anger, however, was pre
vented by the entrance of Uncle Samuel--
He observed the perplexity and discomfiture
marked on each face, and soon ascertained
the cause. Uncle Samuel was a man of few
words, and very uncompromising when de
cided. He quietly raised his eyes to the
window, where was still standing the inex
orable Nicholas.
'Will you make these children a little pud
ding, Nick? You see their misfortune.
'Say when, and how big,' said Nicholas
with an arch smile of triumph, 'and it shall
be here!'
Plum pudding is a very fine thing, reader,
but it takes an experienced cook to make it.
This by way of moral. YORICK.
The art of Writing.
The Rev. .1, Williams, in his Narrative of
Missionary Enterprise,' gives tho following in
teresting anecdote:
In the erection of this chapel, (at Raro
tonga,) a striking instance occurred of the
feelings of an untaught people, when obser
ving for the first time the effects of written
communications. As I had come to work
one morning without my square, I took up
a chip, and with a piece of charcoal wrote
upon it a request that Mrs. Williams would
send me that article. I called a chief who
was superintending his portion of the work,
and said to him;
Friend, take this, go to our house, and
give it to Mrs. Williams.'
He was a singular looking man, remark.
ably quick in his movements, and had been
a great warrior; but in one of the numerous
battles he had fought, lost an eye, and giv
ing me an inexpressible look with the other,
he said:
Take thatl she will call me a fool and
scold me if I carry a chip to her.'
6 No,' I replied, 4 she will not; take it and
go immediately, for 1 am in haste.'
Perceiving me to be in earnest, he took
tt, and asked, 'what must I say?'
I replied, 'you have nothing to say; the
chip will say all I wish.
With a look of •astonishment and con
tempt, he held up the piece of wood, and
said, 'How can this speak? has it a mouth?'
I desired him to take it immediately, and
not spend so much time in talking about it.
Onarriving at the house, he gave it to Mrs.
Williams, who read it, threw it away, and
went to the tool chest, whither .the chief,
resolving to see the result of this mysteri
ous proceeding, followed her closely. On
receiving the square from her, he said,
'Stay, daughter, how do you know that- this
is what Mr. Williams wants?'
'Why,' she replied, 'did you not give me
a chip just nowt' -
'Yes,' said the astonished warrior, 'but I
did not hear ►t say any thing.'
'lf you did not, I did,' was the reply, 'for
►t. made known to me what he wanted, and
all you have to do is to return as fast as
possible.'
With this the chief leaped out of the
house, and, catching up the mysteri
ous . piece of wood, his ran i ,,tbraugh the
settlement with . the chip 'one hand
and 'the square- in the other, holding
them op is high atkliiis arms could reach,
and shouting as heNrent, 'See
,th e w i s d om
of these English people; they can make
chips talk! they can make chips talk.'
On giving me the square, he wished to
know how it was possible thus to .con•
verse with persons at a distance. I gavo
him all the information I could; but it was a
circumstance involved in so much mystery,
that he actually tied a string to the chip,
hung it around his neck, and wore it for
some time. During several following days
we frequently saw him surrounded by a
crowd who were listening with intense in
terest while he narrated the wonders which
the chip had performed.
Cockroaches vs. Shin• Plasters.
"How much havo I to pay you for my
breakfast?" said a gentleman yesterday
morning to the keepor of a French restau•
rat below Canal street.
"Seven bitt, sare."
"There, take your change of that," said
the gentleman, throwing down a pledge of
the Second Municipality, which looked like
an old tattered and pasted Continentaler,
although only two days out of Mr. Deane's
hands.
"Sacre! I no want no such dam rotten°
stuff as dat; 1 no take him no more, sere."
"Why not? It passes current."
"Yes sare, he pass too dam current for
my use. I lock up twelve dollar and twen•
ty.five cent last night in my drawer, and
de dam cockroach he take him all, no leave
me notin but fragment. He eat up Mon•
sieur Nye, he eat up Monsieur Doane. Ho
eat up de Second Municipality, he eat up
my profit—dam, he eat me up next."
"But, my dear sir, can you give me any
reason why these 'dam cockroach,' as you
call them, should eat up these notes in pre
ference to any other?"
"Give you reason? by gar I give you six,
seven, eight reason. De bill he is so rag
ged, so wat you call him rotten°, dat day
paste him all up all ovare. De cockroach
he like paste; he eat him, and he eat de bill
too, and I make all do loss and lose all de
profit. 1 take no more Second Municipality
—Sacrel de more I take de poorer I get off.'
The gentleman finding the Frenchman
determined in his opposition, planked his
Mexican casting, received his bit change,
and travelled.—/V. 0. Pickayune.
TOMATOES.—Mrs. Child gives the fol
lowing directions for cooking this valuable
vegetable:
Tomatoes should be skinned by pouring
boiling water over them. After they are
skinned, they should be stewed half an hour
in a tin vessel, with a little salt, a small bit
of butter, and a spoonful of water. This
method is for sauce' to eat with roast meat
for dinner. When plucked green, tomatoes
make an excellent pickle. An excellent
catsup may be made of them, when ripe, in
the following manner: The vegetable
should be squeezed up in the hand, salt put
to them, and set by for twenty-four hours;
after being passed through a seive, allspice,
pepper, mace, garlic, and whole mustard.
seed should be added. It should be boiled
do•vn one-third, and bottled after it is cool.
No liquid is necessary, as the tomatoes are
very juicy. A good deal of salt and spice
is necessary, to keep the catsup well. It is
delicious with roast meat, and acupfull adds
much to the richness of soup and chowder.
The garlic should be taken out before the
catsup is bottled.

SaVOYLES!
T HE Subscriber respectfully informs the
Public generally, that he has purchas
ed the Patent Right for making and vending
Spring-Sealed Saddles of the
Zig tag or spring in
The Seal,
And also a Spring attached to the Girth or
Girths and to the tree. The saddle is made
with or without a Pommel, just as persons
may fancy..
Saddles made upon this plan are incom
parably superior to any heretofore in use,
in point of strength, durability and elastici
ty, to the horse and rider. The application
of the spring to the girth is productive pf
ease and comfort to the horse, and protects
him from injuries arising from violent or
sudden exertions. The. Spring is, also aO
- to LADIES' SADDLES. !
Krlt is deemed unnecessary tostato.any
thing more. The public arc invited to call
and judge for themselves: • ~

thanks to his Customers and tit@ Public

THE subscriber wishes to inform his pat.
rons, and others who may wish to pat
ronize him in future, that he has recently
purchased Mr. Callihan's Patent Right for
the use dims valuable improvement in, -
ing
Spring-seat , s
SADDLES. 2'
Notwithstanding the prejudices-against
those Saddles heretofore, he feels *tillable
in saying, that he hopes to gain the ,
dence and patronage of ttie
enabled, on the.prosent principle, to ensure
all his saddles without any exist charge.—
That a soft, easy saddle is &simple to all
persons who ride much, and particul arly to
those who may not be favored with 'very
pleasant horse; I presume all pertionn . will
unhesitatingly patronize the spring saddles,'
when they will be enteral as long as the
purchaser may deem nscessatji
The elasticity of the Saddle acting
rnhar
mony with the2 - fiymetiy of the horse ard
rider, not only'affords ease to the man, bui
incalculable advantage to the horse.' All
persons of judgment and experience must
know, that a dead, unelastic weight on a
horse is oppressive. The Spring in the
Girth affords the following advantages: lst
Moving or yielding with the horse's chest in
breathing, no cramps or cholics or any die
ease can rise therefrom. 2d. The girth will
outlast two or three of the common kind,
because the yielding.of the spring on the sud
den expansion of the chest prevents the girth
from breaking, and saves the rider from fall !
ing; many falls have been the fruits of break
ing girths.
GENTLEMEN and LADIES are inn.
ted to apply, as the little difference in the .
cost of these and the bard Saddles is so tri
fling, and incomparable with the difference
in comfort and safety.
N. B. Saddlers in the country can be
accommodated with. Township. or Shop
Rights at, a trifling cost.
ScrThe subscriber returns his thanks to
the public for the very liberal support exteo.
ded to him, and would respectfully state that
he has at all times
