Who shall judge a man from manners 7 Who shall know him by his dress 7 Paupers may be fit for princes. Princes fit for something loss, Crumpled shirt and dirty jacket May beclothe the golden ore. Of the deepest thoughts and feelings— Satin vests could do no more. There are springs of crystal nectar Ever swelling out of stone ; There are purple buds and golden, Hidden, crushed and overgrown ; God, who counts by souls not dresses- Loves and prospers yon and me. While he values thrones the highest , But as pebbles in the sea. Man, upraised above his fellows, Oft forget his fellows then, Mastors, rulers, lords remember That your in 'aDest kinds are men. Men by labor, men by feeling, Men by thought, and men by fame, Claiming equal rights to sunshine, In a man's ennobling name There are foam-embroidered oceans, There are little weed clad-rills, There are feeble, -Inch-high saplings. There are cedars on the hills ; God, who counts by souls, not stations, Loves ana prospers you aud me, For. to Him, all vain distinctions Are as pebbles in the sea. Toiling hands alone are builders Of a nation's wealth or fume ; Titled laziuoss is pensioned, Fed and fattened on 'he same ; But the sweats of others' foreheads, Living only to rejoice. While the poor man's outraged freedom Vainly lifted up its voice. Truth and justice are eternal, Born with !• veliness and light, Secret wrongs shall never prosper, While there is a sunny right ; God, whose whole-heard voice is singing Boundless love to vou and me, Sinks oppression with its ti'les, As the pebbles in the sea. jt Ijflfrf ~ COURTING UNDER DIFFICULTIES. K il e Biuke, was the only daughter of Ja* Cob Blake, the old raiser of West Brook. Sh<? wa more than couxuouly pretty, and her frank engaging manners enchanced the charms of golden hair, pearly skin, and eyos like the blue skies of summer. At her fa ther's death she would be heiress to the nice little sum of seventy thousand dollars, and though men generally profess not to be in fluenced by pecuniary matters inaffirrs of love, it is to be reasonably supposed that this prospective wealth by no means lessened the number of hi r adorers. Auk ng those urnst ardent, and perhaps most sincere, was Will Dartmouth, with a heart larger than his purse, and very little thought or care for consequences. Fortunately, old Jacob never suspected the partiality of his daughter for Will j he woulo put her on bread and water before he would have consented to the 6l ghtest de gree ol intimacy with Will Dartmouth. Jacob Blake was not in favor of marriage. Those who knew his circumstances were not surprised at this, for, to use a phrase more expressive thau elegant, Mrs. Blake was a Tarter, with temper enough for two Tarters. Old Jacob hail to "walk Spanish" for the most part, or suffer the consequences, which usually descended on his head in the shape of any domestic utensil which happened to be lying around handy. A maiden sister of Mr. Blake resided in the family, whose principal business seemed to be to act a sort of echo to her brother and his wife. Whatever they thought, she thought, too, She regarded it as a primary sin for Ka tie to associate with (he young men, and this doctrine was perseveringly drilled into her neice, who, though she never dissented, had her own ideas on the subject. One day Mr. Blake and his wile went to Dedham, to attend a fair, and Miss Pepgv being absent at a friend's Katie was left alone. Will Dartmouth in some way learn ed the condition of affairs, and early in the afternoon he came over to keep Katie com pany. As her parents were not expected home nnt'l the next day. and Peggv not until late in the evening, Will felt perfee'ly seenre in stopping awhile after supper ; and he and Katie were havinp a jolly time popping corn in the old fashioned frying-pan, over the hntre wood fire, when there was the sound of voices nt the door. "Cnol erarSnns !" cried Katie. turning , w (ii <j with alarm,"that is Aunt P-ecy.— Oh, Will, what shall we do ! She will scold me tn dea'h ; and fathpr will hp furious Get under the lounge, quick ! Oh, Will, do for mv sake !" Will could not withstand the pleading in Katie 1 * cve a . and he deposited himself in the designated spot Katie put not. the light, nnd darting into an adjacent bedroom, in a moment was ap~ parently asleep. Peggy's voice was beard speaking softly in the entry. ,4 Be careful, Mr. Pike. There's a loose board there. I don't want to disturb my niece. Softly, it may creak." 44 Peggy, dear, where are you 7" responded the squealing voice of E-quire Pike, the wid ower of a year. "I can't tell which way you've gone." "There Daniel! be easy. Good Heavens ! Daniel Pike, Well, I never !" and a report burst on the air like uncorking a champaign bottle. "Oh, my!" cried Aunt Peggy, "what would brother Jacob say ? I declare, I hain't been kissed by a man sense " "Let Jake mind his own business !" re torted the square. "You and I can take care of ours without his help and there follow ed a report similar to the first, only more of it. "Do be quiet, Daniel, and let me get a light. Set right down there afore the tire and make yourself to home." A light was soon procured, Peggy divest ed herself of her wrappings, and blushing like a girl iu her teens sat down opposite the Squire. "I t's a fine evening," said Peggy, by the way of opening the conversation. "Very," replied lhe Squire, drawing his chair close to hers, and laying his arui over the back. " Oh, good gracious ! Daniel, don't 6et quite so nigh to me. I that is, I don't con sider it strictly proper. Mercy ! what was thai ?" Both listened attentively. "It was ttio wind rattling the window, I guess,'' said the Squire. "Don't you go to getting so narvous, Peggy." "I thought it was Katie waking up. And if she should, I never thould hear the last of it." "Ilirk ! Tl-ere is a noise—l " "Gracious airth ! its bells. Its Jake and marm coining back 1 What shall Ido ? We're done f-.r ! Oh, Squire, 'taint right for us to be nothing to one tolher ? Do help uie ! What shall I do?" "Tell me where to go, Peggy ! Say tf.e word. I'llgo anywhere, for your sake, if it's up the chimney •" "Under the lounge, Quick ! It's wide, and wdl hold you well enough. Quick ! dun'i delay a minute !" The Squire obeyed, but the space was al ready so well filled that it was with difficul ty he c >u!d squeeze himself into so small a compass. And just as he had succeeded, Mr. Blake and his wife entered the room, floundering along in the darn, fur Peggy had deemed it best to extinguish the light.— Jake made for the fire which still glowed red with coals, stumbled over a cricket, and fell headlong against Peggy, who was standing bolt upright, trying to collect her scattered senses. "The deuce j" cried Jake. "Look out, there, old wnuian, or you'll be down over me. It's uu:k as a pocket here, and I've fell over '.he rooking cheer, or the churn, I can't tell which. liullo ! what's that ?" reaching out his hand to .eel his situation, and Coming in contact with the bearded face of the Squire "By George ! it's got whiskers ! Peg ! Peg ! where are yon 1 and Where's Kate ? and what's this ?" The Squire did not relish the assault made on his hirsute appendages, and byway of re taliation, he gave a series of viporous kicks, which hit Will Dartmouth iu the region of the stomach and sliirad his bile. "Look here, old chap!" exclaimed he "I'm perfectly willing to share my quarters with ouy, seein as we're both in for ; but you'd better not undertake to play that again." "ITeavings !" ejaculated Peggy ; "whose voice is that ?" "Who in the deuce is here ? that's what I want to know !" cried Jake struggling for an upright position. "Hullo! who's Ml down over my legs ?" "I'll let yi u know who's down, and who's up !" said the voice of Mrs. Blake ; and the old lady scrambled up, only to go instantly down again over a chair. "Jake where are you ; Git up this instant, and git a light, or I'll shake your breath cut, when I get my feet agin." Jake started to obey, and just then Tige, the watch dog, who hearing the uproar, ha<i managed to break loose Irora his chain, rulied upon the scene, aod set up his best pow-wow. The Squire had a mortal horror of dogs, and neitner fear nor love was strong en >ugh to keep hun quiescent now. He sprang to his feet with a yell ; Will followed. Katie, full of alarm for her lover, hopped out of bed, and appeared with a flaming tallow dip Peggy flung her arras around the Squires neck, w ill a cry -of terror, and Jake was si lent with amazement. Mrs. Blake was the onlv one who possessed her wirs. She seized ihe corn popper, and laid about her with vigor. Her aim was not always correct, and, in const quenceo she smashi d the looking glass into a thousand fragments, and knocked down the clock from its shelf and demolished two bowls and a pitcher that wero quietly reposing on the mantle. The Squire broke from Peggy'* embrace, aod flashed out of tbe window. Will fol- towed him and Mrs. Blake would have pur sued by the same outlet, but 6he was a little too large to get through with ease. A dreaded counsel was holden; Jake stormed, Mrs. B'ake threatened; and at last bo'h Piggy and Katie confessed. And Jake and his wife were so njniced at the prospect of gettn g rid of Peggy, that tbey forgave their daugbtet, and took Will Dart mouth home at the end of the year. And in due lime, Peggy and tho Squire were made one flesh. THE PRINTER AND THE TYPES. Perhaps there is no department of enter prise whose details are less understood by ntelligent people than the " art preserva t've 4 " —the achievimat of the types. Every day their lives long, they are accus tomed to Had the tit W6[ apere, to find fault with its statements, its arguments, its looks, to plume themselves upm the discovery of "some roguish and acrobatic type tiiat gets in to a frohc and stands upon its hea l ; >r some word with a waste letter or two in it jbul of the process by which the newspaper is made, of the myriads of motions and thousands of pieces necessary to its composition,they know little and think less. They imagine they discourse of a wonder, indeed, when they speak of the lair, white carpei, woven lor thought tc walk on, from the rags that fluttered oil the back of the beg gar yesterday. But there is fo us something more won derful still. When we look at the hundred and fifty-two little boxes, something shaded with the toucli of inky fi .gers, that compose a printerV'case," nuisele-s, txcopl the click ing of the types, as one by one they lake their place in the growing line—we ihiuk we have found the marvel of the art. Strewn in those little boxes are thin par alleh grams of mental, every one good for soineihmg that goes to make up written lan guage ;fhe visible footprints of thought upou carpets of rags. We think how many fragments of fancy there are in these boxes; how many atoms of poetry and eh qui i ce the printer can make here and there, it he only has a iittle chart to work by, how many facts in small haudluD, how much truth iu chaos ! Now he p'eks up tne scattered elements until he holds in his hand a stmzi of Grey's el<gy, or a monody upon a Griuies" ail bui tc eI up before." Now be sits up a ' Puppy m 6sing," and new " Paiadise Lust"— He arrays a bride in " small caps," and a sonnet in "m r.j aritl. " lie anr< ur.ees Chat tlie languishing l '| ivej " m one een ( enco trans poses the word, and deplores the days that are " evil, " in the next. A poor jest ticks its way into the printers hand, like a little clock just running down and a strain of eloquence in irehes into lines. We fanny we can tell the difference by il.e clicks of the types ; but perhaps not. Jhe types that told of a wedding yester day, announce a buiial to-morrow—perhaps in the self same letters. They are the elements to make words of. 1 hose types are a world with something in it as beautiful as spring, and as rich as sum mer and as grand as autumn ; flowers that 'rost canuot wilt, but fruit tiiat shall ripen for all tune. BOUNTY.. -Ry a recent Act of Congress the following persons are entitled, to one hundred dollars bounty : First, soldiers of the three or nine months' service who were dis charged in consequence of wounds received in battle. Second, Soldiers who had not served two years and were discharge! on account of wounds received. Third, The father, mother widow or children of such as were in the three or nine months' service and were killed. These facts are not generally known and we record them lhat those embraced in the pro vision of this act may avail themselves of its benefits.

Two unsuccessful attempts have been made to abduct G ;orge N. Sander*,who is at Montreal, Canada, a heavy reward hav ing been offered for him by our government. Two of the kidnappers were arrested the last time, after a pistol fight with the police. They claim to be detectives. The New York T r ibune declares that the negroes "saved the country in the hour of Its sorest need." The Boston Couriei says it has "a slight recollection that a few wh ; 'e men had a hand in the matter' although the Tribune seems to forget it " We hope it may be recall sd to Mr. Greeley's memory be fore be finishes the Ilistoiy of the Rebellion." car The Republican press eulogize Pres ident Lincoln for his alleged humanity, and then urge his successor to be inhuman and cruel.

WHAT AN ENGLISH AUTHOR SAYS OF ENG USH GIRLS. , . * I Wh*t pretty girls 1 Greek profile# ui nez retrousses pale and florid, black, brown gold rnd warmer auburn, there tbeyslt i the front rows like a bed of flower#, all scarlet, white and blue, and it is worth while coming to the play :f only to watch their luvely faoei. The youth of English girls—for there are stages in girlhood, even before we come to the time when woman are ''old girls" by right—the first early blush and bloom of AD English girl is something as like divine a# hu manity can attain- It is not only in the color and form, though both of these are SO lovely, but in the shy, unspoken, and uode vel-pod nature lying like a sleeping child within the heart ; in the love that has never been awakened, and that is just faintly stir ring in the soul, unconscious of its own im* prisoned life; in the instincts that would blush lur themselves weie they roused to confession and self knowledge—it is in all this sweet and tender mystery of nature, this union of love and bashfulness, that the charm of the young English girl consists, and that gives her beauty such winning witchery. And this is what you may read in those love ly faces in the frqnt row, whether the Saxon his left his mark on the golden head, or the Celt his on the eb n. Other races are more loving in their women, more instinctive, and more alluring ; and some areas shy ; but I do not know where there is the same mixture of both— the same sweetness of modesty and ♦he same te't derriess of leve at one time. If there is a fault to find or a stone to fling, it is that tais early bloom of soul so soon passes —it is that though English girls are so ten der, English women are so often hard, and that ihe richness of the 3' f, ung love dries up and impoverishes and stiffens into absolute co.dness. I flmg these stones with a very leeb'u sling, and do not desire to hit eveu a ghost. UK I GUAM YOUNG. The President of the Mormon Church ia six foot high, portly, and weighs about two hundred pounds. He is wonderfully well— preserved 1- r a man who has passed his sixty - fourth birih day, His face is fresh and uo wrinkled, h:s step agile and elastic. I can hardly detect a single gray hair in his curling si.burr, locks, or the whi-kers of the same nue, which in smooth, crescent line fringe his check an . c;,in. Is Bngham Young in deed a new Ponce de 'Leon, who has discov ered in Polygamy the fountain of Perpetual Youth ? His eyes are of a grayish bine. They do not impress me as trunk and open, but have a secretive expression. Xle has an eagle nose j and a mouth that shuts like a vice, indicating 'remendous firmness. 1118 manner is digni~ tied—agreeable and afiabie rather than cor ' dial; and he carries the unmistakable air of ■me having authority. Ordinarily cold in conversation, he has little ebulitions of ear* nestness in which he speaks right at people, using his dexter fore-finger with great force to point a moral. He treats the biethreo with warmth, throwing his arm caressingly about them, and asking carefully about the wives and babies. He has observed much, thonght much, mingled much with practical men ; but seems a littJo unfamiliar with cultivated society. He is abstemious and temperate, using nei ther tea nor coffee, spirits nor tobacco Provincialisms of his Vermont boyhood aod h s Western manhood still cling to him.— ne says Heelle," "beyend," and "disremem* her." An irrepressible conflict between his nominatives and verbs now and then crops out in expressions like ' they was." etc. Yet those who hold Brigharn Young % cheap charaltan, are wilder if possible than the Saints who receive bun as an angel of I ght, or those Gentiles who denounce him as a goblin damned' A most striking embodi ment of the One Man Power, he holds a hundred thousand people in tho hollow of his hand.
