Now just lend hand to your dear Old Nick"
The voice went forth TO the ears Of Ben,
And out he rushed from his blood red den;

And rock, aud well and fence. to lend
a helping hand to bis good old friend"

But y1ut good faith, must take to my heels.
So seized the log with all my strength,
And rolled It over the iiend, at length
And left him wrilhing beneath its weight,
As | ran from the fear Of far worse fate.
On came poor Ben, in iilial wrath,
Foamng and cursing along his path,
And the last saw as glanced DER the track,
lie vas rolling the log from the devils back.

We saw II stated in paper lately, that
George Hyatt, is now common soldier
in Maine. Fifteen years ago, says the
Mobile Herald, Hyatt was the very soul
OF one Of the most select circles in Boston
the best comedian in the United States
and poet Of the first water. Some OF
his songs are even now p0pular-the
mellow Horn" for instance, and seve-
raj others that we cannot now name.
Hyatt married beautiful girl who in a
few years was obliged to descend from
the luxury Of riches, and take in washing
for a subsistence her father lived in one
of the most splendid mansions in Boston
and nine years ago she was dragging
ont a miserable existence in cellar in
New York. At last she was driven mad
and died in the almshouse. Reader, you
must know the secret of this tale of mise
ry! George Hyatt, the educated, favor.
winning man Of genius, was drunkard
When he reflects upon his past life, as he
PAGES his lonely round at night, what
must be his thoughts Pity that he
could not teach others TO feel as he feels
them!

To FORM HEALTHruL BoY-H you would See
the son of your prayers and hopes blooming with
health and rejoicing daily in the full and spark
ling tide of youthful buoyancy; if you wish him
to be strong and athletic, and careless Of fatigue
be nosdiscomposed at the sight of his sandhills
in the road, his snow forts in February, and mud
dams in April; nor when you chance to look in
the midst Of an August shower, and see him
wading and sailing and sporting along with the
water fowl. If you would make him hardy,
fearless, let him go abroad as often as he pleases
in his early boyhood, and amuse himself by the
hour together, in smoothing and twirling the
hoary locks of winter Instead Of keeping him
shut up all day with stove, and graduating his
sleeping room by Fahrenheit, let him face the
keen edge of the north when the mercury is be-
low cypher; and instead Of minding his little
shivering and complaining when he returns,
cheer up his spirits and send him out again.

+ Avon QUARRELING.-There is much good
sense in the following, which, though old, de-
serves to be repeated at least once year:
:" If any thing in the world will make a man
feel badly, except pinchng mans fingers in
the crack of door, it is quarrel. No man
ever fails to think less of himself after than he
did before one. 1t degrades him in the eyes OF
all, and what is worse blunts his sensibity TO
disgrace on the one hand, and increase his irri-
liability on the other. The truth is, the more
quietly and aeaceable we all get on the better
the better for ourselves, the better for our neigh
bors. In nine cases out of ten, the wisesl course
is, if man cheat you to quit dealing with him,
if he be abusive quit his company. Il he Islander
you take care to live so that nobody will believe
YOU, the wisest way is just to let him alone for
there is nothing better than this cool, calm, and
quiet way Of sdealing with the wrongs we meet
with" N

A MIDNIGHT ArPEAL.-We were awakened
from our sleep on Sunday night about o'clock
by the rapping Of a little boy about ten years /;
we arose and went to the window and asked
him what he wanted. Can you tell me where
will find Waterman, sir! What do you want
Of a Waterman! asked we. There is man at
our house, he replied, who is drunk, and mother
il afraid Of him. Who is the man, and what is
he doing to your mother! we asked. After a
good deal Of hesitation, mingled with half-sup-
pressed sobs, the little fellow finally burst into
tears when he reluctantly felt himself forced to
tell the sorrowful truth. Father Is drunk, and
is beating mother, and has driren us oui of doors
and mother is shirering out in the porch, and he
,oont let her in, and she is afraid of him." We
gave the little fellow directions where he could
procure prompt aid, and on our sleepless pillow
deeply ptied that wife and mother and son who
were themselves forced by fathers brutality
by the curse Of drunkardness-to seek ia
have him, their husband and father, dragged
from them to felon's cell! Bitter were these
reflections, and sad and sleepless pillow during
that hour, was ours.
Poor mother! we thought of the bridal hour
when she gave herself and her happiness into
the keeping Of that husband, who in the presen
ce Of his God, vowed eternal love and affection
unto her !--.Memphis, Tenn Eagle.

EXAMPLES OF FEMALE HEROlsM
BY sEBA SMITH.

Talk as you will of the heroic DAYS OF
Greece and Rome, you may look in vain for
brighter examples of human sympathy and
sublime self-devotion, than are TO be found
in the annals of tho rude aborigines of oul
country. And as in all countries, perhaps
the brightes. of all examples of sympathy
and self-sacrihce are met will, in the softer
sex, so tho Indian woman of this country
has fully established her claim to this hiel
distinction. Where has the world ever seen
a more beautiful and touching instance, than
that exhibited in the story of Pocahontas and
Capt. John Smith, And where is there a
more competent witness 10 this general CHAR
acter of the sex, than the same gallant Can.
