FORNEY Our country's call awoke the land From mountain height to ocean strand. The OM Keystone; the Bay State, too, In all her direst dangers true Resolved to answer to her cry, For her to bleed, for her to die ; And.so the 3 marched, their flags before, For Washington, through Baltimore. Our men from Berks and Schuylkill came— Lehigh and Mifflin in their train First in the field they sought the way, Hearts beating high and spirits gay. Heard the wild yells of fiendish spite, Of armed mobs on left and right ; But on they marched, their flag before, For Washington, through Baltimore. Next came the Massachusetts inen, Gathered from city, glade and glen: No hate for Sduth, but love for all, They answered to their country's call. The path to trim seemed broad and bright ; They sought no foemaA and no fight ; As on they marched, their flag before, New England's braves through Baltimore. But when they showed their martial pride, And closed their glittering colamns wide, They found their welcome in the fire Of maddened foes and demons dire, Who, like the fiends from hell sent forth, Attacked these heroes of the North : These heroes bold, with travel sore, While on their way through Baltimore. Fromercry stifling den and Street, They rushed the gallant band to meet— Forgot the cause they came to save= Forgot that thoSe they struck were brave— Forgot the dearest ties of blood That bound them in one brotherhood— Forgot the flag that floated o'er Their countrymen in Baltimore: And the Great song their son had penned, To rally freemen, to defend The banner of the stripes and stars, That makes victorious all our wars, Was laughed to scorn, as ,madly then They greeted all the gallant men Who eamc from Massachusetts shore To Washington, through Baltimore. And when, with wildest grief, at last, They saw their comrades falling fast, Full on the hell-hounds in their track They wheeled, and drove the cowards back. Then, with their hearts o'erwhelined with woe, MeaSured their progress, stern and slow ; Their wounded on their shoulders bore TO Washington; through Baltimore. Yet, while New England mourns her dead, The blood by treason fully shed, Like that which flowed at Lexington, When Freedom's earliest fight begun, Will make the day, the month, the yea], To every patriot's memory dear. Sons of great fathersgont before, ' They fell for right at Baltimore ! As over every honored grave, Where sleeps the "unretOrning breve," A mother sobs, a yOung wifd moans, A father for his lost one groans, Oh! let the people ne'er forget ; Our deep, enduring, lasting debt - To those who left their. native shore And died for us in Baltimore. THE GOOD WIFE.—She never crosses her husband in the spring -tide of his an ger, but stays till it be ebbing water; and then mildly she argues - the matter, not so much to condemn him as to ac quit herself. Sure men, contrary to iron, are worse to bo wrought upon when they are hot ; and are far more tractable in cold blood. It is an observation of seamen, that if single meteor or fire ball falls on their mast, it protends luck ; but if two come together (which they account Castor follox), indicates good success. But sure in a family it bodeth most bad when two fire-balls— husband's and wife's anger-come both together.' -. Or A New Hampshire editor was la tely robbed while traveling. How much the thief made by. the operation may be discovered by the indignant epistle he immediately sent to his victim, returning the pocket-book:—"You - oniserable cuss, here's your Pbeliet-book. I don't keep no such. For a man dressed as well as you was to go.round with a wallet With noting' in it but a lot of newspaper scraps, - a" pair of wooden combos, two newspaperstamps, and a pass from a rail-road director, is a contemptible Im position on the public. As I hear you 're, an editor I return your trash, I never'rolis only gentlemen. • Ker6shie oil, whiali in . its pure state is not explosive, has recently, tit is alleged, been adulterated by dealers with cardphene and other. nheap substances, making it very exploSive. Several an eideritshave recently happened in con sequence, causing injury'and even death: The effect of such unscrupulous conduct iu dealers will be to discredit kerosine; and. cause its . disuse by any person who has a regard for hislife. ,The first passenger railroad in . London commenced running on the 25th of March. HOME Thank God for Home and all the jays that cluster round and make it of all pleasant places the most pleasant.— , There are languages of the earth in which there is no word that corresponds to " Home." The French have no word like it now. The old Romans did not know the term. Many who have the word itself are ignorant of its meaning. And it is not easy to define it. I like the definition which the child gave when asked by a friend " What is Home ?" Looking up at : his mother; he replied Where she is." "Be it ever so humble there's no place like home !" For its pleasures it does not depend on spacious balls and costly furniture, or extended landscape, or surrounding acres. It may not be in the most fashionable quarter of the town, nor in a rural region where the mingled beauties of forest, river, hill and dale make the place an Eden.— Where LOVH is there is noes. In the domestic. circle, where the Sweet bonds of holy affection unite all hearts, each seeking the other's happiness, and striv ing, by mutual acts of self-denial, to make the rest, more blessed, there is " the only bliss of Paradise that escaped the Fall." x* In the centre of the circle sits the mother, radiant With maternal pride and hope and joy; around her play the children whom God has given, and the fond husband and father looks on with serene and holy comfort,. as he- blesses God that he is the happy possessor of such a home. This is the picture that poets and painters draw. And there are millions of such groups in this land to-day. Wealth and honors may not be part of their possessions ; but greater riches than all the treasures of Egypt, are the friends, and companions of one's fireside; the lights of his house, the joys of his heart. This is a world 'of labor, a life of care, a time of toil. We have our business and burdens, all of us.. Few of the many, none of the useful, have ceased to work, while yet they have health and . strength. But he who returns from hie daily labor, tired and vexed and worn, and perhaps disappointed and anxious and. desponding, and finds a bottle where smiling faces and cheerful voices and loving lips receive him, surely may ex claim—and if he has a heart to appre ciate and enjoy the bounties of the bless ed Giver of all good, be will exclaiin, "The lines are fallen unto the in pleasant places ; yea, nave a goodly heritage." Not even the shadows of great sorrows can darken such a home, The changes of this uncertain world may work wond-'i rous revolutions in the circle, but if the heart be true, no change can work the ruin of domestic peace. . Reverses of fortune may overtaln the honse and', dry up the streams of wealth, and all the comforts that wealth brings to the door (for it is.very inconvenient to be poor, and doubtless very pleasant to be rich) but love triumphs over circumstances, and makes the cottage happier than lordly balls, for "better is a dinner of herbe where love is, than a stalled ox, and hatred therewith." " Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasure and trouble therewith." Death itself may spread its wings . over the sanctuary of our affections, .ad hide from our sight the dearest. object of domestic love, but death is not destrliC:: tion. Love sanctifies :such sorrow and makes . the memory of the departed " sweet, though mourn'fut to the soul." And when-afflictions yield, the fruits:Of peace, and joy in God, the home that was despoiled and blighted; becomes . fragrant with the odors of Heaven, for angels have been there, Honored by the custom that prevails so widely among us, of . gathering Me scattered Members of the household on -Thanksgiving-day around the social , board, to bless God in the midst of His .good gifts, for the comforts' of a happy home. It is a feast of love.. Long may it continue .to be one of.our Most c'her ished, hallowed, conservative institu tions! And each of every one that comes to the old homestead, from the -country or-the city, or the sea, and-Aits 'down with sire or mother, or wife, or son; or daughter, or brethren and sisters . , or- friends, rejoicing. in the bounties of Providence, and above all in love that makes home nn. antipast of HEAVBN shall say, "The- linos are fallen unto me in pleasant- places, yea, I- have a goodly heritage." " " 1 . go- An Irishman. who was engaged' at a I rain and had his. pick-axe raised in the air just as the clock struck twelve, determined to work no more till after Thdirinur, let go the ,pikc-axe and left it, hangirig theit! HEARTS FOR SALE As we were strolling through the market on Saturday morning our atten tion was. attracted by a pile of hearts (beef's hearts, fair ladies) that were ex posed for sale ; they were stacked up in the form of a pyramid, and as we stood looking at them—all shriveled up as they were—and marked up with white pencilings of muscle and deep seated lines of blue color, where the veins ran, we couldn't but commisserate the brutes whose brief lives finally had to yield to the block and executioner's axe. We were jostled in our mood by a passer by, and turning around we saw a pale-faced woman tugging along with a basket of provisions, and looking, alas ! as if the fates had dealt more with malice than with love toward her. Stratigp that it should have suggested it, but as we moved on we thought to 'ourselves, are those hearts we have just left, the only hearts in the world for sale; are , there no human ones borne to share compan ianship with immortal souls; that are bartered away day by day for the gold and silver of the earth. Let us see. A young maiden is just coming to occupy that . sphere in life when her affections are to be sought and won ; generous, and full of young hopes, she listened to the tale, told tremblingly of her first lover's love. The words fall upon friendly soil, and she pledges her affections away forever. Why should the pleasant dream be disturbed and broken up? Also ! he is poor, and must put his hands doWn to the earth and grapple with the things thereof, is order to live, while those who stand as her nearest guardians for weal or woe, have resolved that she shall marry only where wealth, and glitter of False life are to be found. And so this heart goes down on the auction stand, knocked off to gold, and sent to dwell in Wretchedness through splendor, in death though in life—one heart has been sold. A young man starts in life, proud but poor ; he is taught by frequent remind ers that when he does he must make an "available match," that love in a cot tage will do for the rich to speculate upon, but for him, he inast garage respec tability by the standard of money, and that a true, noble soul, is an extravagant luxury unless it caapay its own way.- But he breaks down. when he meets liar, .whose soul comes straight to his, as the 'needle flies to the magnet, and "under the rose" he tells the old tale of love, which islold.not in vain. Ah, but she is now poor, and pa and ma have picked out a queen of Ophir, who can buy a palace with her own gifts, away up on the ladder of earthly prosperity, a fit one for " our proud kingly mind," and so, between threat and command, tears and expostulations; the fruit in the green ear. is given , up to die out,• and a man weds a thing-two more bear is are sold.

You think that she would make a very capi tal appearance at the head of your table ; nor, in the event of your coming to any public honour, would she make you blush for her breeding. She talks well,•exceedingly well; and her face has its charms, especially under a little ex citement. Her dress is elegant and tasteful, and she is constantly remarked upon by all your friends as a " nice person." Some good old lady, in whose pew she occasionally sits on SundaY, thinks she would make a fine wife for— somebody. She certainly has an elegant figure ; and the marriage of some half dozen of your old flames warns you that time it slipping, and your chances failing. And, in the pleasant warmth of some after dinner mood, you resolve—with her im age, in her prettiest palisse, drifting. through your brain—that you.will marry. Now comes the pleasant- excitement of the chase ; and whatever family dignity may surronnd' her only adds to the pleasurable glom of the pursuit. Yea give an hour more to your toilette, and a hundred or two more, a year, to your tailor. All is orderly, dignified and gracious. Charlotte is a sensible woman, every body says, that you believe it yourself. You agree in your talk about books and churches and flowers. Of course she has good taste, for she ac cepts you.
