They drive'hemo the cows front the pasture,
Up and through tho long shady lane,
Where the quails whistle -laud in the whCat-fielda
That are yellow withthe ripening gfain.
They find in-thwthick, waving grakes,
Where the scarlet-lipped strawbOrry grows,
They gather the
-earliest snowdrops,
And the-lint crimson blood of the rose.
They toss the new hay in the tricaow,
They gather the Oder-broom uldte;
They find where the ducky grape !purple
In tho BO ft-tint&l October light !i. • 1
They know where the apples han , ripest,
And.are' sweeter than Italy wine's;
They know where the fruit hangs the thickest;
On the long, thorny, blackberry vines.
They gather the delicate seawceds,
And build tiny castles in the sand;
They pick up, thebeautiful‘sea shells— • • ..<
TairybarkSlliat have drifted to land.
They wave from the tall, rocking tree-tops
'Where the oriole's hammock nest swings,
At night limo aro folded in slumber
By a song that a fond mother sings.
Those who toil bravely are strongest,
The humble and poor beceme,great;
And from those brown handed children
Shall grow mighty rulers of *ate,
The'pen of tho l authorana statesman— •

NOT AT' HOME
An' elderly man, shattbily attired, was
seen walkin ,, through one of the lash
iunable in a large city one cold
Deermber day. Ills coat was of coarse
grey, and had evidently seen hard ser
vice,
though still perfectly whole and
neat. The traveler walked slowly
along as I have said, examining care
fully as he passed the nanteson the door
plates. , 1-le finally paused before a
dwelling of Nhowy exterior, which, if
we may credit the .testimony of the
plate upon the door, was occupied by
Alexander Beaumont.

the house,' murmured the tray.eler to
himself, us be ta,eended the steps and

'No, ma'am,' said Betty, stoutly, fol
she well understood what made up
gentlemen in the conventional sense of
the terin ; ` it isn't a gentleman at all,

name is Henry Beaumont.' -
That old rag-tag master's uncle,' said
Betty, wondering as she ascended the
stairs.'
Uood heavens !' said her mistress,
it ain't that old veteran who strolled
off' years ago iiobody knolvs where. I
did liope he never - would come, back
agai,n. And now I suppose he is, as
poor as a rat and wants help.. Well, he
wo4l't get it if I can help it; but I sup
pose; I must see him.'
The lady descended, fully prepared
to give the visitor a frigid reception. •
' I'm not mistaken,' said the old man
with feeling, 'it's Alexander's wife.'
You are right, sir. I tun the wife of
Mr. Alexander Beaumont, and f sup
pose- froM your language you are—
' His uncle Harry. Ah Inc ! I have
been One so many years,mul it does
me good to return to my kindred.'
-The old man leaned upon' his staff,
and his features worked convulsively
as thoughts of the past came over his
mind. Mrs. Beaumont stood holding
the door as if waiting for him to, de
part. She did riot give him any inl
tation to enter.
' Is your husband well?' enquired the
visitor, looking as if he expected 'an in
vitation to enter and refresh himself
after his walk by an interval of rest.
' If you have any message for him
you may kayo it with ine, and f will
deliver it,' said Mrs. Beaumont, de
sirous of riding herself of the intru
der as 6peedily as pcissible.
You may tell him I have called,'

We will tale the liberty of introduc

Mrs. Lowe and her three children were
even now sbatcd. A plain serviceable
carpet covered the floor, and the re
mainder of the, furniture, though of a
kind Which , would hardly seleCted
for a drawing room, had a comfortable,
home-like appearance, which simply
satisfied the desire of those who derived
their happiness from a higher and less

while the absence of ruin and frost
during thesurn mer and early fall months
enables the grass to cure where it grew

will fatten cattle on it alone during the

tuns of hay during the summer season
to guard against the otherwise destruc

There are, comparatively few square

The western march of progress has

What the palm tree is to the south
sea Islander, or the walrus and 'seal are
to the Esquimaux, the butlido is to the
Indian, supplying as it does almost
every want felt by him in his savage
state, as there is not a distinct portion"
of the animal but has for him its sepa
rate use. ; The hide, aside from its use
as a blanket, is tanned by a process that
removes the hair and makes asoft plia

wigWanis are covered, the horns are
used as receptacles for powder or manu
factured into drink - ing cups, the sharper
bones are made into knives for severing
robes, the masticated food, or " buffalo
chip," furnishes fuel in regions far re

by the Puritans, cultivated corn in a

direction, followed by the whole herd
who in their rolling gallop produce a
motion much like that of the waves of

oft made statement of the thunder

frightened animals. I have ridden by

their feet strike the sandy soil, little
noise is made. But the dust raised by
a large herd when in flight, can be
compared only to that of a simoom in

Next in importance to the buffalo in

the Antelope, that is found in countless
numbers on all the vast uplands of the
far west. The animal Is about the size
of the forest deer; but quite unlikeit in

hair is of a light yellow, except on the
breast and flanks where it is• a dull

attempts to discover the cause of any

to give birth to living young in four or

and they live long enough to,produce

NO, 29.
A few weeks since, In the course of
conversation with an eminent broker,,
who has been forty years acquainted
with the leading moneyed men of tha
country, we asked if he ever knew a
schemer, 'who acquired money or po
sition by fraud, to continue successful
through life, and leave a fortune at
death. We walked together about three
minutes in 'silence, when he replied
—"Not one 1 I have seen men," ha
said, "become rich as if by magic, and
afterwards reach a high position in
public estimation, not only for honor
and enterprise, but even forpiety, when
some small circumstances, of no appa
rent importance, had led to Investiga
tiohs, which resulted in disgrace and
rum." •

A WARNING TO YOUNG MEN.
On Sunday we again converged with
him upon the same subject, and he
stated that since our last interview lie
had extended his inquiries-among
large circle of acquaintances, and with
one solitary,exceptiod, and that doubt
ful,ltheir experience was to the same
effect as his own. He gave a brief out
line' of several small and big schemers,
and their tools, their rise and fall. ISa
icide, murder, arson and perjury, fie
said,. were common crimes with many
of these who made "haste to be rich,"
regardless of the means ; and, he added,
there are not ft.lei'v men who may be
seen on 'Change every day, ignorantly
striving for their destruction. It isnot,
he said, so much the love of gold that'
leads many business men astray, EtEi the
desire to be thought sharp or successful.
He concluded that fortunes acquired
without honesty generally overwhelm
ed their possessors with Infamy.—Bos
ton Atlas.
The apostle of old wrote a similar can
tioulto that above, taken from a secular
paper. "But they that will, be rich fall
mil) temptation and a snare, and into
many foolish and hurtful lusts which
drown men in perdition. 'For the love
of money is the root of all evil'; which,
while some coveted after, they have
erred from the faith, and pierced them
selver with many surrowS. But thou,
o man of lied, nee these things." And
the wise king has left on record the
proverb, corroborated by the experience
of every generation, "he that tuaketh
haste to be rich s hall not be innocent."
These cautions ought to be stamped on
the hearts of our young men in this day
of • absorbing - worldliness. ill j they
would escape such bltter.,disappolut
ment and ruin, lid trhem not "snake
haste," but, by diligence and- strict in
tegrity before G.od and man, lay the
toundations in truth and righteousness,
and though they may seem to advance
slowly, they will avoid thereck of moral
character, and the overwhelming ruin
that so - often overtakes the hasty aspi
rant after riches. Let them remember
the admonition of the Psalmist, as ap
plicable to business transactions, as to
spiritual training, in this present life:—
" Wherewitmil shall a young man
cleanse his way'? by taking heed there
to, according to thy, word."—Christian,

FL - I'J* NA TnusT YE.—Two centuries
ago it was thought an insult in the
Highlands of Scotland to ask a net° from
a debtor. It was-considered the same
as Saying, " I doubt your honor." If
parties nad businessimattersrto transact,
they stepped in the air, fixed their eyes
upon the heavens and each repeated his
obligation, with no i3nortal witness. A
mark was then carved on some rock or
tree near by, as remembrance of the
compact. Such a thing as a breach of
contract was rarely met with, so highly
did the people regard their honor.
When the march of improvement
brought the new mode of doing busi
ness, they were often pained by these
innovations. Au anecdote is banded
down of a farmer!who had been to tho
Lowlands and learhed worldly wisdom.
On returning, to his native parish he
had need of a Slll.llof money, and made
bold to ask a loan of a gentleman of
means, named Stewart. This was
cheerfully granted, and Mr. S.' counted
out the gold. This done, the farmer
wrote a receipt, and offered it to the
gentleman.
- "What is this, man ?" said Mr. Stew
art, sternly eyeing the paper.
"It is a, receipt, sir, binding ine to
give back yer gold at the right time,"
replied Sandy.
Binding ye? Well, my man, if ye
canna trust yerself I'm sure I'll na
trust ye ! Ye canna ha' my gold !" And
gathering it' up, be put- it back in his
desk and turned the key on it.
" But, sir, I might die," replied the
canny Scotchman, bringing up an argu
ment in favor or his new wisdom, "and
my sons might refuse it ye. 'But/ this
bit of paper wad compel them."
" Compel them to sustain a dead fa
ther's honor'? cried the Scot. " They'll
need no compelling to do right. If this
is the road yer leading them I'll neither
trust ye nor them. ye can gang else
where for money ! But yell' lind, 'nano
in this parish that'll put kutire faith in
a bit o' paper than in a neighbor's word
o' honor and, his fear o' God !" ,
As cool a person, under the cii•eum
stances, as ever we heard of, •was a
young nobleman, who, - in a frightful
railroad accident, missed his valet. One
of the guards came'up alit said : 'My
lord, we have found your 'servant, but
he is cut in two."Ah, is he?' said the
young'man with a dreary draivl, but
with some anxiety depicted on- his
countenance; •will you be good enough
to see in which half he has the key, of
Ins ctu'pet bag?'
A little boy residing in a village where
tin; small-pox was prevalent, vaccina

the exercises the teacher'asked George
it' he had ever been baptised. Small
pox am( vaccination happening to be
uppermost in Georgie's mind, he
promptly answered'i " Yes, sir, I've
been baptised live times, but it never
took!"
Judge--'-when first admitted to the
bar, was a very blundering speaker.
On one occasion, wheirhe was trying a
ease of replcvlp involving the right to

"Gentleman of the jury there were just
twenty-four' hogs in that drove, just
twenty-four; exactly twice as many as
there is in that jury-box."
