THE BAREFOOT BOY.
EV ITTIER
Blessings on thee, little man,
Barefoot boy . with checks of tan !
With thy turned-up pantaloons,
And thy merry whistled tunes,
With thy red lip, redder still,
Kissed by strawberries on the hill ;
With the sunshine on thy face,
Through the torn brim's jaunty gract—
From:my heart I wish thee joy—
I was once a barefoot boy !
Prince thou art—the grown-up man
Only is republican.
Let the million-"dollared ride :
Barefoot trudging , at his side,
Thou hast more than he can buy,
In the the reach„of ear and eye ;
.thitward sunshine, inward joy—
Blessings on thee, barefoot boy !
Oh ! for boyhood's painless play,
sleep that wakes in laughidg day;
'Health that mocks the doctor's rules;
Knowledge never s learned at schools;
Of the wild bee's morning chase ;
Of the wild flower's time and, place ;
Flight of fowl and habitude
Of the tenants of the,wood ;
l-low the tortoise bears his shell,
How the woodchuck digs his cell;
Bow the robin feeds her young ;
1 - lo'y the oriole's nest is hung.
Where the whitest lillies blow;
Where the freshest berries gro v ;
Where the groundnut trails its vine ;
Where the wood grapes' clusters shine ;
Of the black wasp's cunning.way,
Mason of Isis walls of
And the architectural plans
`Ofgray hornet artisans !
For; eschewing books and tasks, .
Nature answers all he asks
Hand in hand with her he walks,
Face to face with her-he talks,
Part and parcel of her joy—
Blessings on thee, barefoot boy!
Oh! for boyhoods time of June,
Crowding years in one brief moon,
When all things I heard or saw,
Me, their master waited for ;
1 was rich in flowers and trees,
Bumming birds and honey bees;
For my snot t the squirrel played,
:lied the snouted mole his spade ;
For my taste the blackberry cone
Purpled over hedge and stone .
Laughed the brook for my delight
Through the day and through the night,
Whispered at the garden wall,
Talkld with the from fall to fall;
' Minrthe send-rimmed pickerel pond,
Mine the walnut slopes beyond,
Mine the Lending orchard tries,
.Apples of Hesperides
Still, as my horizon grew,
Larger grew my riches too;
All the world I saw'or knew '
des wed but a complex Chinese Joy,
Fti,..-hieued for a barefoot boy..
Oh ! for festal dainties spread,
Like my bowl of ithlk are], brea!,
Pewter :putin lino bowl of wuuu,
(.n the dour-btone , giay and rude ;
O'er me like a regal tent,
Ckrady ribbed. the sunset butt.
l'uipie curtained, fringed with gold,
Louped with many a wind sieung told;
NSlbile fur IffilbiC was'ilie play
Of the lield-frogs wehestra ;
And, to light the noisy choir,
Lit the fly his letup of fire.

Waited -on the barefoot buy.
Cheerily, then, my little man,
Live 1211,11:lug(' as boyhoml can;
'i hough the thuty elopes be hard,
Mabble-spearen the new-Mown sward,
ivvery more shall lead thee tin oupi
i•resh baptisms of the dew ;
Every evening from thy feet
Shall the cool wind kiss the heat;
All too soon those feet must hide
In the prison cell of pride ;
Lost the freedom of the sod,
Like the colts fur work be shod;
Nude to tread the mills of toil,
Up and down with ceaseless moil,
Happy if their truck be found
Never on forbidden ground i—
ilappy if they sink not hi
quick and treacherous sands of sin;
Uh ! that thou cuuld'st know the joy,
line it pasties., barefoot boy!
THE HEART THAT'S TRUE.
Tell me not of sparkling gents,
et in legal diadems—
Von may boast your diamonds rare,
itubiei bright, and peails so fair;
liut there's a peerless gent on earth,
Of richer ray and puier worth ;
'Tis pricelfts, but 'tis worn by few--
11 is, JA is the heart that's true:
Bring the tulip and the rose,
While their brilliant beauty glows;
Let the storm-cloud fling a shade,
Bose and tulip both will fade ;
but there's a flower that still is found,
When mlst and darkness close around,
Changeless, fadeless in its hue—'
It is, it is the heart that's true.
Ardent in its earliest tie,
Faithful in its latest sigh—
Love and Friendship, godlike pair,
Find their throne of glory there.
Proudly scorning bribe and threat,
Naught can break the seal once sat;
All the evil gold can do,
Cannot warp the heart that's true.
First in Freedom's cause to bleed,
First in joy when slaves are freed;
Their hearts were true—and what could quell
The might of Washington or Tell?
Oh ! there is one mortal shrine
Lighted up with rays divine ;
Seek it, yield the homage due,
Defy the heart that's true.,
FACETIff,
I eaw him bare his throat and seize
The blue, cold, glimmering steal,
And grimly try the tempered edge
He was so soon to feel.
He raised on high the glittering blade;
Then first I found a tongue
4, Hold, madman ! stay the frantic deed !"
I cried, and forth I sprung.
He hoard me, but he heeded not;
One glance around he gave,
But;ere 1 could arrest his hand,
He hod begun to shave.

CLEARING A DEBTOR'S PRISON.—The
work of clearing the Queen's Bench
Prison, London, of its inhabitants' is now
verging toward a close. Strange to-say
it has been a very difficult task. Many
of the prisoners sternly refused to be
made bankrupts, though, by giving:their
consent, they could have immediately
obtained their release. The most curi
ous case was that of Wm. Miller, who
had been in prison since July, 1814--
forty-eight years! He had lost, all de.:
sire to go out, and would sign nothing
which would have the effect of snaking
him a free man. When at last be was
absolutely forced to acquiesce, he begged
'to be allowed to remain in prison a few
days longer ; an,d when his time was up
he still lingered fondly within the gates
to bid the officials farewell, and to shake
hands over and over again. Until_ he
passed the outer gates of the Queen's
Bench Prison, a, few weeks since, Win.
Dl iller, who was born nearly eighty
years ago, never saw a street gas lamp,
nor an omnibus, much less a steamship
or a railway.—London Exchange.
THE ILLti,uts FISII-POND.—Iri the report
of the committee on FaMS of the .11
nois State Agricultural Society, we find
the followidg account of an artificial
fishpond on the primises of Messrs.
Overman & Mann, of Bloomington :
Fifty by one hundred feet scopen out
of a low place in the prairie, and which
is supplied with water from the mole
drains running through the depreS e sions
of the prairie swells. The pond is six
feet deep, and stocked with catfish, some
of which are now fifteen inches lung,
bass, silversides, perch and hoase-tish.—
Thousands of our prairie farms can have
just as good ponds with a trifling outlay,
and which will at the same time furnish
al) abundant supply of neuter. Until We
saw this pond we had no idea such lux
ury could be had upon our farm, but now
we are positive that it is of easy attain
ment and the thing mast be done. The
earth must 'be either wheeled or hauled
out ; and this must be done in winter Or
other leisure. time ; a small hand-pump
will be needed to keep the water out
while excavating the pond.
S ALMOND P. GILASH:.—The present Sec
retary of the Treasury was born Jan.,l3
1808, not in Portland, but in Cornish.
N. IL, and was named for . his Uncle
Salmond ; and to make it more sure
from whom the named was derived' Port
land was taken for the middle name ; so
that Salmond Portland Chase stands
as the representative of the honored and
beloved lawyer of Portland wh.)se death
at the early age of forty-five (nearly a
year and a half before S. P. Chase was
born). suddenly, in the midst of a very
large business and of universal respect,
was deeply lamented. The Secretary
was educated 'by his other uncle, Port
land Chase, the respectied Bishop of
Ohio, to whom he was sent at the age
of twelve years, and has risen to his
present eleVated position by a uniform
course of industry and honorable con
duct, aided by sound intelligence; bril
liant talents, a very handsome person,
and most pleasing address.

GIVING CHLORIFORM.-At a recent
meeting of the Obstetrical Society, la'
London, Dr. Simpson described a plan
of adreinistering chloriform which he has
now adopted in • preference to that at
present in use. The present mode is to
fold up a handkerchief and pour into the
hollow a quantity of chloriform, and then
hold it at a distance from - the face, so
as to admit of atmospheric air being in
haled along with the vapor. The new
plan is to lay .a single layer of handker
chief over the face, and let the chlori
form fall op it , drop by drop. The .ad-.
vantages are these : -1. That there is
less danger to the patient from the small
quantity applied at a time. 2. That
anmathesia is more speedily produced.-
3. That the quantity of ehloriform re=
quired is less. Various gentlemen who
had made a trial of the plan confirmed
the value of this process, and Dr. Young,
in particular stated that he kept a pa
tient narcotized for ten hours with two
ounces and a half of chlori form.
Tat; SPANISH FLNET.—A letter from
Rome of the 20th May, says : "Mgr. de

and the author of innumerable bon mots,-
"1 - have the honor," he said, on entering,
"of announcing to you holiness that the
Spanish fleet has arrived at Rome by the
railway." It was in that manner that he
ushered into the Popes presence twenty,
five Spanish bishops wearing enormous
hats, larger and longer than the classical;
one of basile on the stage, lined with
green, and having exactly the form of a

DROWNING. HIS gL,4I::)IATE. T -A. lad I.?,
years of age, named Franklin Smith, is
under arrest at Bangor for being acces
sory to the drowning of "Little Eddie"
Reed, at Merrill's Mills, last week. It
is said that young Smith enticed the
deceased from shoo' on pretence. of go
ing strawberrying ; that he finally induc
ed him to "go in swimming," and got
him beyond . his depth, and allowed him
to drown.—lt is fathermore alleged that
these suspicions are
r confirmed by the
fact that young Smith rolled up Eddie's
cloths in a bundle, tied a stone to them
and. sunk them in 'the stream, and he
threatened a younger lad who was of the
company with death, if he told what had
become of the missing boy.
IRON SLEEPERS FOR IthLROADS.- The
relative advantages of iron and wood
cross-tioq for railroads are discussed in
railroad circles. The cost of timber is
or little consequence, but the expense of

dia) Railroad uses iron sleepers. It is
four hundred and six mileS in length,L--
The Philadelphia and Reading company,
for several past, have prepared their
sleepers at Pottstown, by immersing
them in a solution which resists the au

ring the week, she cuts into towels or

A TIMELY REPROOF.— Humor and
sharp wit are never put to better use
than in anssvering a fool accordiog to his
folly,_ and we could wish that reproofs
like the following were more frequent.
Some five or six years ,ago, in one of,
the trains . of cars running between
Newark and Jersey City,' N. J., their
was a young naval officer, who was con
stantly intermingling his conversation
with the most profane oaths. A young
lady was so situated that she could not
but hear every time he swore. At first
she bore it with equanimity ; then as . it'
continued, - and rather increased in the
shocking. character of' his imprecation,
she began' to - grow fidgety and he soon
flashed. We knew a bolt would strike
"Sir can you converse in the Hebrew
tongue ?"
"Yes,", was the reply, in a half uncon
scious, but slightly sneering tone, -
"Then," was the reply, "if you wish
to swear any more, you will greatly
oblige me and probably the restof the
passengers also, if you do it in Hebrew.
I watched him. It had hit. His col
or came and went--now red, now white,
/ he looked at the young lady,.then at
his boots, then at the ceiling of the cars

Ilebrew or English, and he probably
remembered that young lady:
FEMALE TEMPER.—No trait of the
character is more valuable in a female
than the possession of a sweet temper.
Oh I we can _never be made happy with
out it. It is like the flowers'that spring
up in our pathway, reviving and cheering
us. Let a man go home at night, wear
ied and worn by the toils of the day,.and
how soothing is a word dictated by good
disposition. It, is sunshine falling on
his heart. He is happy, and cares of life
are forgotten., A sweet temper has a
soothing influence over the 'minds of a
whole family. Where it is found in the
wife and mother, you observe kindness
and love predominating over the natural
feeling of a bad 'heart. Smiles, kind
words rand looks 'characterize the chil
dren, and peace and love have their
dwelling there. Study, then, to acquire
and retain a sweet temper. •It is more
valuable. than -gold; it captivates, more
than beauty; and, to the close of .life
retains all its freshness and power.
