WWR HYRR0
TIE MOTHER AND CHILD.

Goethe relates that he met, in the CampagS
Of Rome, young woman nursing her child
seated on the remains of an ancient column
He questioned her on the ruins with which hcl
dwelling was surrounded. She was wholly ig.
norant Of everything concerning them; being
wholly devoted to the affections which filled her
soul. She loved and to her the present mo-
mont was the whole of existence.
Temples, and monuments, and crumbng fanes,
Affairs, and broken shafts, are scattered round:
Ages long past have sanctified these plains,
And stamped this sacred spot as hallowed ground
While Art and Genius here their home have found
But see! where these old scuptured marbles rest,
A mother clasps her infant to her breast
She seeks not here to learn what minds unknown
Carved these immortal forms in breathing stone;
She smiles in joy upon her infant fair,
And that sweet babe to her glad spirit seems
Heller than sculpturcd forms or poets dreams
And in such bliss, Oh wherefore should she care
Who reared those shafts. by whom those towers were
piled
The present fills her souher heart is with her child

LESINGHAM SMITHS ODES AND


The Rev. c. Lesingham Smith, NJ. A., rector
Of Little Garfield, Essex, has recently publish
ed modest little volume of poetic illusions, in
which there is much delicacy Of feeling and evi.
dence of classic taste. Whether, however, he
echoes the exquisite notes of Sappho's shell,
emu lates the mighty line of Sophocics or
breathes forth the original tenderness of his
special sonnet, in no instance has the muse been
so responsive 10 the throb of his emotions as in
the following grateful tribute Of epicurean gus
to- Lond. paper.
ITO A ROAST PIG.
"Oh !pig, or rather, little pork, once pig,
Smoking so dainlily upon the table,
Making each gazer long that he were able
To eat thee, every limb, both small and big;
No more in squeaking flight or grunting Jig,
Thou runn's about the straw yard, sy, or stable
Nor bumpst thy little side against the gable
Nor cock st thy snout, aIudge without wig!
All other vands which ever saw
Serv'd up in silver, crockry ware, or tin,
Whether boil'd roasted, bakd, stew'd fried, or raw
Compard with rhee are worthless as pin!
Sweet delicate meat Cracking without flaw a.!
What no knife and fork must begin p

SINGING. The Germans are seldom af-
hictcd with consumptions; nor have ]
known but one instance of splitting blood
among them. This l believe is in part oc-
casioned by the strength their lungs acquire
by exercise in vocal music, which constitutes
an essential part of their education. The
music master of our academy has furnished
me with an observation still more in favor
of this opinion. He informed me that he
had known several instances of persons who
were strongly disposed to consumption
were restored to health by the exercise o.
their lungs in singing.-RUsm.

The following interesting facts arc
related by the Vicksburg Wing:
Near the iron mountain in Missouri,
there is a ledge fstonc extending for half
mile in length, and several hundred yards in
width. This stone is very strongly impreg-
mated with magnetic properties, so strongly
so, indeed, that it is impossible to ride well
shod horse over it A gentleman having
his horse newly shod, once attempted it but
before he had made two revolutions his horse
was brought up standng'-perfecty still
In vain he urged his gallant steed forward.
Persuasion and force proved equally futile,
until his patience become exhausted, and he
sent for blacksmith. The son of Vulcan
soon arrived and found the horse standing
stock still, and as Immoveablc as the rock of
Glbralter. Various expedients were resor-
ted to, to relieve the horse, but all failed.
There he stood, and to all appearances there
he was likely to stand, with his feet literally
glued to the solid and impervious rock. AT
last the blacksmith sent of to his smihy for
his shooting tools, which were soon forthcom-
ing, when no proceeded with all possible des-
patch to unclinch the nails which bound the
horses shoes to his boofs. One by one the
nails were unclinched {; the whip was applied
to the horse ); and as the last nail gave way
he escaped with bound, but left his shoes
welded to the rock.''
To this the N. Y, Eve. Post adds the fol-
lowing:
"There is a more wonderful story than
this, or in the newspaper phrase, a still more
interesting fact related in an old Almanac,
which we remember reading many years ago
A traveller, on horseback in an uninhabited
country, was overtaken by night near the
mouth of a cavern. He dismountcd took
care of his horse, and entering under the
rock, laid himself down and being very wea-
ry, fell asleep Immediately. On awaking
he found himself suspended by the heels,
with his head downward. He struggled to
disengage himself, and at last shullled him.
self out of his boots, and dropped to the
ground which, however, was not so far dis
tant as to hurt him. On looking up, he saw
his boots hanging by the spurs the rock for
ming the vault of the cavern was magnetic
and had drawn him up, by Attracting the
steel of which his spurs were made.

LUcK.-Some persons appear to be al
ways lucky in whatever they undertake, but
the secret Of this is exposed in an excelen,
little book called Hints to Merchants.
The author says that generally speaking,
your lucky fellows when one searches
closely into their history, turn out to be your
fellows that know what they are doing and
how to do it in the right way. Their luck
comes to them becaus they work for it; tits
well earned. They put themselves in the
way ofluck. They make the best Of what
opportunities they possess, and always stand
ready for more and when a mechanic does
thus much, depend on it, it must be hard luck
indeed, If he does not get, at least, employ

LIVE ItNI, ME.

Live for me! No common sorrow
Fer can sap my life, willis; thou
Flingest fondly, every morrow,
Holy kisses on my brow.
True, those kisses are IDEAL
Dreams of severed hearts that flee
From real ais 10 joys unreal
Yet, oh, in exile live for me!
Live for me! Yon tranquil ocean,
Shmmering in the sun of June,
With no visible emotion,
Sings its ever sounding tune,
So in hearts that love, still singeth
Deep, not loud, descant free
And each cadence sweeily bringeih
Words of hope-thcn live for me!
Birds are all abroad bestowing
Music on the summer air,
While the very flowers are throwing
Double sweetness every where.
Wrap not, then. gray fears around thee,
But happy future see;
And though trivial cares may wound thee,
Mind not them, but live for ne!

MENTAL POWER as. BRUTE FORCE

We saw the other day cmphatically the
rarest instance ofmental superiority triumph
ing over the hostility of greater animal
strength, than ever encountered our observa-
ton. A thin, diminutive, consumptivc look
ing young fellow, lame, and using crutch,
sat upon packing box out on the sidewalk,
in front ola slop-shop on the lovce. Anoth-
or man of hcrcuean frame was striding up
and down, wearing roundly to the little fell
low, and exhibiting every symptom of rage
and fury. The huge bully beat the awning
posts with a thick that he held in his
hand, and cas-, glances like bowie knives on
his quiet opponent on the box. What the of
fence or cause of quarrel was We made no eff
fort to ascertain, but merely paused an in

The weak and emaciated young fellow
