\ Love, like flower, may be crushed
to earth, but, like the flower, again it
may lift up its head and fling the frag-
rance to the winds. When we are
young, it scars like the bird in summer
time, and though its pfnicns may be
ruflied by tempests, and broken by the
hunter, yet-if it have the true uis med
again in Che wide empyrean.
Lord Bacon somewhere remarked,
that reading makes full man, speak

UNEXPECTED KINDNEss.-The Read
ing pa Eagle states that in cutting
timber on the land Of Mr.. John Keffer,
of Cumru township, Berks county,
three young squirrels were found, whose
eyes were not yet opened. They
were taken home and placed in charge
Of cat, which had recently lost its
offspring, where they received the same
attention and maternal care as is usu-
ally given by that animal, readily at
fording them nourishment. Two weeks
have already elapsed, and the little
intruders are growing finely, playfully
frisking about their foster mother, un-
conscious Of the danger which, under
other circumstances, would appear to
environ them.

the ball ven hen corset string broke

FEDERAL OFFICE HoLDERs.-Thc
Third Auditor in the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington, Peter Hagner, is
a decided Wing and commands sala-
ry of $4,000 and the appointment OF
twenty-five clerks. OF these clerks
five only are Democrats. This item,
with those previously published rela-
tive to the other Departments, refutes
at once the charge Of prescription so
often brought against the present Ad-
ministration. In this respect, Mr.. Van
Buren, is tolerant to fault.
The editor of the New York Her
aid, Mr.. Bennett, it is said, is going to
make another trip to Europe.

other distinguished citizens.
General John Upton, a member Of
the last United States Senate from In
diana, recently died at his residence in
Logansport, in that state.
The way to kill a FederaIist is to
turn him out Of Office. The National
Intelligencer, in noticing late reno
val by the President, lifts its hands in
holy horror, and cries 'Again the Gull
lotine is al work"
Rum, while in hogs-heads. is capable
Of doing but little mischief; but when
il gets into MEMS heads--look out!
lNDoLENcE.--Pefhaps every man
may date the prcdominencc CT thost de-
sires that disturb, and contaminatc his
conscience, from some unhappy hour
when too much leisure exposed him 10
their incurSions; for he has lived with
little observation, either on himself or
Others, who does not know that to be
idle is to be vicious.
INDUSTRY Whatever busies the
mind without corruptihg it, has, at least,
this use, that it rescues the day from
idleness; and he that is never idle, will
not often bevicious.
MAPLE SucAR.--Thc Maple Sugar
season in Ohio has been unusually pro
fitable. No less than one hu,,drcdtons
of a purity and beauty equal 70 the
finest Havana, says the Sandusky
Wings, has already been made this
season in that county.
