OLDEN UNPINS;
Olden mwories of my childhood,
When in joy I roamed the wildwood,
Come again on fairy piniors,
Lure me out of grief's dominions.
Drive away my pain and anguish,
Let me not in sorrow languish,
Iw.nt• dreams, oh! hover o'er me,
!' Light the gloomy path before me.-
i f,
Bring again my an el mother,
And my darling lit a brother;_
Bring the once fa iliac faces,
Olden haunts a olden places.
Bring the cot a id the roses
Where my heart in bliss reposes.
Olden memories, come`to cheer me;
Ever, ever, be ye near me.
FLAG OF OUR UNION.
Beautiful flag! (War earth so bright,
Fall thy radient beams of light,
As thou floateet o'er land. and sea—
Flag of our Union! flag of the free!
In fancy's eye thou seem'st to say,
""Guard 'me ever from treason's away!
Keep my color and stars as true 9 -
As the sun and stars in the sky so blue,"
Wave on, oh flag of truth divine,
And may our soul's affections twine
Around thee as thou wav'st afar—
Flag of our Union! flag of our war!
SELECT MISCELLANY.
THE WHITE. SPARROW.
A Lessen for Men of Failing Fortunes
I'Sle.p is he worst of.thisvcs—
e awe s a o our Ives.
In Most parts of (4ermany there parnres
current among the people this prt verb :
"Be that would thrive
Must the White Sparrow s ."
The meaning of ibis proverb is not at
- first sight so apparencas that of some oth
ers tha ti.ctilate among us, such as "Ear
ly habits make the man " and "Honesty
is the best policy." I will. therefore, re
late the story connected with its otigin:
' There was an.old larmer,. with whom
everything appeared to grow worse from
year to 3 cal.. Scarcely a week passed by
that either the tax gatherer or the pawn•
broker did not come to his window, and,
address hire with a cou-teous how, say,
fOl am really very sorry, Herr Buckwart,
to be compelled to put you to any ineun•
venience, but I am obliged to do•my duty."
'fire old friends of Herr Buckwart also
tried to do their duty to him. They ad
vised, they entreated, and they helped hilt►:
but all' in vain; and so one after another
gave him tip is despair, declaring, with a
sigh, that. as for Buckwart. there was no
use in vying to le p ie was past
being ilt4ped.
lie had one friend, however, whose
heart was in the right place, and he was
not only a good man, but a very clear
sighted one. This friend thoughirlie would
not give 'Herr Mick wart up altogether
without making one more attempt to save
him. So one day he-led the conversation,
as , though accidentally. to the suhj-•ct sof
sparfows— relating many anecdotes of
these birds. and observing how greatly
they had multiplied of late, and how very
cunning and voracious they had become.
Herr Iluckwart shook his head gravely
in answer to this observation, and said:
••Then are, indeed, most destructive
.creatures. For my part. I have not the
slightest doubt that it ts'mainly owing to
their depredations that my harvest has .ot
date years been unproductive."
To this conjecture his old friend made
nn rejoinder; bug, after a moment's pause,
he'continued the conversation by another
interrogation.
o , llleighbor. have you ever seen a white
sparrow?"
..No." replied Buck wart; ..the sparrows
on my fields are oft►.e common grey isSrt '
' , That is very probable.. too," rejAned
his friend. “The habits of the white spar
row is peculiar to itself. Only one comes
into the world every - year; and being so
-different-from-its fellows, the o er spar
rows take a dislike to it, and peck at it
when it appears beloie. them. For this
reason it seeks its fond early in the morn
ing, before the rest of the feathered tribe
are astir, and then - goes baak ter its neSt.
where it remains for the mat of the day."
,s.That's Verystrange I" exclaimed Buck
wart. ••1 most really , try and get a sight
of that sparrow; and. if possible, I will
catch it. too."
On the morning following this-con versa
lion-the farmer rose with the sun. antr sal-
lied forth into the field. He walked around
his farm. searched'his farm yard in every
corner. examined the 'lris of his garners
and the trees of.his orchards, to see wheth
er_tie could discover any traces of the who.

„from-its imagihrry nest. What vexed . the
faimer,however. still more. was that. ill.

Herr uck wart was reflecting on the
disadvant aof this state of things, whfil
suddenly he 'ceiveti,a lati'dornitig out or;

toward ii . :publib hOuile *here Casper, had
a long score to pay. He•'haateiterialker
the astonished youth aqd quickly relieved
him of his burden.
Thi farmer next bent his atepald the
cow-house, and peeping to see w hether the
white sparrow 'hail perchance,teken releige
there. he discovered to his dismay •that the
milk maid was handing a liberal portion
of milk through'the
,window to her neigh
bor-
"A pretty sort of housekeeping this is?"
thought the farmer to' himself, as he has
tened to his wife's apartripent,' and aroused
her from her slumbers. "As sere as my
name is Ruckwart," he exclaimed in an
angry tone, "there must be an end io these
lazy habits Everything is going wrong
front..lhe want of somebody to look after
things. So far as lam concerned,"thongt
the good farmer to himself, ' I will rise ev
ery day. at the sameahour I roie.this morn
ing, and then I shall get m' farm cleared
of those who do not intend to do their du
ty properly. Besides who knows but
some fine morning or other lA:iv - succeed
in catching the white sparrow.- ,
Days and weeks passed on The far
mer adhered to his resolution; 'but he snort
I forgot the white sparrow , and only looked
alter the
cattle and his corn fields. Soon
everything around him gore a flourishing
aspect, and men began to observe that Herr
Ruck wart (Backward) now Well deserved'
to be called Herr Vorwart (Forward). In,
due chursc of time this old friend again
came to spend the day with chim, and in
quired in a humorous tone,
"Well, how are you gating on n'w?—
Have you succeeded in catching a glimpse
of the white sparrow?"
'l'he farmer only replied to this 'question
by a smile, and then, holding out his hand
to his old friend, he said. ..(;std bless ou

Often in after years. wher, flerr Ruck
wart was a prosperous man, he was wont
to relate the histbry of his early lac; and
thus, by degrees, the saying passed into a
plover's—
"He that would thrive •...
Must the White sparrow see,"
Precautions
1. Never. sleep in a room where there
is any green paper on the walls, as , this co
lor is made of arsenic or lead; the former
is by far the most dangerous, being scheeles
green, and is known positively by a drop
of moriatic on the green. leaving it White.
2. White glazed visiting cards contain
sugar of lead. and will poison a child who
is tempted to
, chew them from th e slight
sweetish taste.
3 Green glazed cards used for concert
ticks are still more poisonous; a single
one of them contains a grain and a half of
arsenic. enough to kill a child.
4 Never put a pin in the mouth or be-
tween tie teeth fora single Ins ant, because
a sudden effort to laugh or speak may con

ing. ceasing only when it has made its-way
out of the body through the %tails of the
abdomen or other portions of the system.
5 It is best to have no button or string
about any garment during the night. A
long, loose night gown is the hest thing to
sleep in. Many a man has facilitated an
attack of applexy by •buttoning his shirt

the load under which it already labors. take
a continuous walk, with just enough aetiy•

8 Never put on a pair of new boots or
shoes on a journey. especially on a visit to
the city; rather wear your raciest. oldest

Professions have. 'Yet, we are not quite
willing to yield concession to the doctrine
that' the resplendent charms of' the bright

do we believe that the disheartening effects

and there realized only in the second stage
of. man's existence,w ill greatly - improve the
splendors of the bright side; while the very
nature of all , things around us. assays to
teach us that an equal effect will take place
in inceease of the obstacles met with on
the dark - side. These. bekin. when the
first thoughts of becoming a reacher be
gin. Is the business a„,respeci.able one! is
a very natural questhin for a young man to
ask, btfore•enlisting in it. To determine
this point the' young enquirermust give no
heed to wfiat the people say of it, or even

morning comes, and bringi a few doied of
the material oil vihich" he is to' . make- his
impressions; they seem shy and backward
at first, yet if the teacher observes closely.
Ire wall see-that they watch,and starry eve
ry look, word,and action of his more than
their books; no doubt with a view to find
out if there are any „soft spots, about him,
and 1/ so, whereAsey. are, and 'how; to
get at them. Out,young tyro kindly talks
to them, of the importance of atierAing to
their studies, lan* he 'thought Id' arrange '
his school, &c , and:perhaps makes an at
tempt at a short lecture on: education; but
with this he cannot, long engage his pupil's
attention; - theY soon weary, anti become
restless; and orie'of 'the . larger boys, lean
ing over to his nearest mate, whispeil,
(unintentionally loud
,ecough for the teach
er to hear), "did the,.master bring a rod a
lung V' Seeing this the teacher thinks its
time to. stop talking, and makes an eflurt
to classify his pupils. In this the great
deficiency of books, is an obstacle often
•
children to tell their parents to buy for
them proper books; while the parents on'
on being repeatedly urged. and not (fish
ing to be annoyed any longer, send woriF
to the teacher to the effect that he shall
get the books for the children, 'anti they
will see hint about it sometime. He, of
coure, thinks his duty calls itim ,to do" so,
and go to them; feeling sure that at some
luture time at leant he will have the cost
refunded, by those p arents.
Yet, strange to say, the teaching of the
human mind developes itself nearer to per
fection in this, than any other of its re
sponsibilitiei. Being at last obliged to
make an effort to collect those small book
bills, the teacher finds these parents taken
by surprise, as they had forgotten.all about
it. And in turn they surprise the teacher
by insinuating in rather expressive terms.
that he '.urged the -children to take those
books in order to make money en them."
Yet a teacher must net take this as an -in
sult, merely because lie is a teacher. The
kind hearted young instrue is, o nurse,
a warm friend uasion, and means
to practice i ii so. till one day he
painful ears s that nothing but an of
fective operation of corporeal' punishment
will prove that he has a right in the school
mom, on, equality with some of the farmer's
sturdy sons.' But before performing this
„.,
operation."it'is well enough for the teach
er to have attendee to the detelopinerit of
the physical powers or muscular depen
dencies; as the parent of tie boys who are
whipped. some times meet the teacher with
very awkward demonstrations of bodily
violation. It might also 'be' no 'unwise
precaution to'bolt the door (if it has a belt)
before begir.ning the performance of a pun
ishment, as the parents of the offender may
happen to pass along at that time, and drop
in, and carry corporeal punishment to a
very unpleasant degree, by transferring it
from the offender to the party first oflen
ded; these, however, are only inside affairs;
