HABICH AND HATTICH.
"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"

There are two little songsters well known in the land
Their names are Ihdrc and O-had-I,
I-hare will come tamely and perch on your hand,
But O-had-I will mock you most sadly.
X-hare, at first sight, is less fair to The eye,
But his worth is by far more enduring.
Than thousand O.hdd.Ts, that sit far and high,
On roofs and on trees so alluring
Full many golden egg this bird will lay,
And sing you "Be cherry be cherry!'
o, merrily, then, will the day glide away,
And sweet shall yonr sleep be when weary.
But let an O-hdd-I once take your eye,
And longing to catch him seize you.--
He'll give you no comfort nor rest till you die;
Lifelong he'll torment you and tease you.
He'll keep you all day running up and down hill,
Now racing. now painting, now creeping;
While far overhead, this sweet bird, at his will,
With his golden plumage is sweeping.
Then every wise man who attends to my song,
Will count his Ehare a choice treasure,
And, whenever an O-hdd-I comes flying along,
Well just let him fly at his pleasure.

MIR. Clairwood lay on his bed. His regu-
lar but labored breaihings showed that he
slept. The windows of his chamber were
carefully darkcned, and the attendants Gid
ed noiselcssly through the room. Every
breath of noise was suppressed, that the sum-
bers of the sufferer might be unbroken. Mr.
Clairwood had passed the few last hours in a
state of ieverlsh anxiety. The certainty of
death did not alarm him. lie had been for
some days conscious of his approaching dis
solution, and with calmness had made the
necessary disposition OF his property.
lie indeed awaited his fate with resigna-
ton, but il was the fear that his son would
come too late that harassed him. He had
ie, warnings of tenderness towards his son

tive character in mighty deiuce, that flows
within no defnable limits. there is a single
corner in any Of the departments of human
speculation or human action, which our periodi
cal press does not cover, know it not. You
may be philosopher, or statesman, phys-
clan or e divine, a farmer or merchant, an
artisan or an artist friend of the muses. or a
friend of the graces,-and YOU have only to step
into one of our periodical depositories TO supply
yourself with the latest, if not the brightest,
thoughts in the department to which your are
devoted. And you are fortunate indeed fthere
is no attempt made TO set aside your moral a.
gency in this matter;-ior it has come TO pass,
IN these days, that periodicals cometo us unbid
den; and what comes at first with the editors
compliments, is followed up i'll due time by the
publishers bill
But without hazardng any speculations upon
the trade, may say with confidence that the
man who conducts widely extended periodical,
presides at one OF the chief fountains of public
influence. lie keeps himself III constant, though
ltvlsio!e, contact with thousands and thousands
OF minds. Ihey may take little note OF the ef.
iect which he produces upon them, and may
even silently congratulate themselves that their
opinions are their own; and yet he may be hold
ing them spell-bound under his magic influence.

A Broken Heart.

place, of humble origin, but who rejoice in the
cuphonous and classic names OF MILroN Moons.
He has from his childhood, given indications OF
cloyerncSs not very common, and though at this
time but thntccn years Of age, he has exhibited
specimens of intuit.ve art and mechanical skill
which are not often met with, such as NINA

"Do SOMETHING. DO something, young man,
don't be a living corpse all your days, from

your blood, and stretch your bones. God ncv-

never have stamped his image on your brow !;
he made you for gian-living, active, ener-

now; Erot next week, or next month, but now.
Look up-stir yoursei-shake of your lethar-
