valuable in female than the possession Of
a sweet temper. Home can never be made
happy without il. II is like the flowers
that spring up in our pathway, reYiving

cares Of life are forgotten. A sweet tenn
per has soothing influence over The minds
Of The while family. Where j, is found in
tho wife and mother, you observe kind
ness and love predominaling over the had
feelings of The natural heart. Smiles, kind
words and looks, characterize the children,
and peace and love have their dwelling
there. Study then TO acquire and relaIn

Essayed to make her nest, and there did bring

Day after day she toied.
With patient art, but ere her work was crowned,
Some sad mishap the tiny fabric spoiled,
And dashed it to the ground.
She found the ruin wrought;
Yet not cast down, forth from her place she few +,
And with her mate, fresh earth and grasses brought
And built her nest anew.
But scarcely had she placed
The last soft feather on its ample floor,
When wicked hand, or chance, again laid waste,
And wrought the ruin DER.
But still her heart she kept,
And toiled again; and, last night, hearing calls,
looked, and 10 three little swallows slept

sneaked home, 10 avoid the sneers of the
company, it was proposed that they should
one and all go to the young mans house,
and have their laugh out at his expense.
The proposal was warmly approved Of.
and they sailed forth but, alas the bird
had flown. From the servants account,
he had evidently gone forth to accomplish
the task he had undertaken; so to the bu-
rying place they joyously trudged. The
gate was open; Thornton was evidently
there. They shouted to him no reply was
given; so in they marched. Presently they
came TO Martins grave, beside which lay
their friend, perfectly motionless. In an
instant the drunken party became sobered,
and they felt too late that they had enga-
ged in an affair likely to terminate in dis
agreeable manner. and approached them
selves with having seriously frightened
good comrade and valued friend. Those
who were nearest Immediately stepped for
ward to raise poor Thornton up. He was cold
and insensibe. A doctor who was of the
party, advanced; he looked alarmed, felt
the pulse, put his hand upon the breast, then
turning round, exclaimed, in voice which
struck terror to every heart around him,
"He is dsad--quite dead!"
The friends who supported him hoped he
was deceived, and attempted to remove the
body. 1t was attached to the tomb. In
an instant the whole cause of his terror and
death was apparent. His cloak had slipped
in between the skull and the tablet-he bad
firmly nailed it to the monument, so that
when he had endeavored, poor fellow, to
raise, he had been held down by the back
of his collar, and striving with jerk to free
himself, had been naturally thrown down
by it. The matter was hushed up. To
this day the friends of the unhappy youth
know not the cause of his death. From
that moment none of the company have ev-
or INDUCED in practical joke. A brave.
good, and virtuous youth was thus immo.
lated in attempting to prove his courage,
where no test was required.
May his example serve as beacon to

were stopped in The street day or two ago,
by Washinglonian friend, who remarked
that he was building house. On our ex-
pressing some surprise, he added, that since
he had joined the Washinglonian Sodieiy,
Two years ago, he had put into his money
box, the sum of two hundred dollars, which,
had he not become Woshingtonian, would
have gone-and he pointed his finger sig
ni6cantly towards his mouth. He then re-
lated an incident which is worth recording.
We will give it as near as possible in his own
words.
"a short time since an acquaintance from
the country, with whom had formerly been
accustomed 10 drink, brought me some nm-
Der for my house. Before settling he ask
ed me 10 go with him and get something TO
drink.
Very WE'LL said |.
We then went into place where liquor
is sold, and called for that which suited him
and asked me what would lake.
"A glass of waier,' said ].
What, you ore not Washingionan
You will think so, when you see The mon
ey with which shall pay you.' I then took
from my pocket thirty-scven half pennies,
and paid him. You never saw q man so
astonisbed. He put his glass upon the couu-
ter and left it untasted.'
As may be supposed, we left our friend,
graified at such effects Of Washingtonian-
ism. We had not gone far before we fell
10 with another Washingtonian friend, who
wished 10 take the Gazette and pay for ii in
his work. He was shoemaker. Ho re-
marked that. as he was repairing house he
had recently purchased, ii was difficult to
get money for other purposes Than that. On
making enquiry in regard 10 his prosperity
since lie had become Washingtonan, be
said we might judge what it was. He had
purchased LOT of land for 5000. building
for $50, had paid s25 for removing it, and
was now fitting it up.
These two men were among the members
of the Bangor Washingtonian Society. and
when they became so, were verify subjects.
We have no doubt that many of their breth-
rem in The city, can give as good account
of themselves as tnev. So much for WASH
