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. Shu!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, haugh 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
