The Boy and Man.
BY REV. JOHN C. ABBOTT.

A few years ago there was in the city of Boston
a portrait painter, whose name was Mr.. Copley.
He did not succeed very well in his business and
concluded to 90 to England to try his fortunes
there. He had little son, whom he took with
him, whose name was John Singleton CopIey.
John was a very studous boy, and made such
rapid progress in his studies that his father sent
him to college. There he applied himself 50
a scholar, that his instructors prophesied that he
would make very eminent man.
After he graduated, he studied law. And when
he entered upon the practice of his profession, his
mind was so richly stored with information, and 50
highly disciplined by his previous diligence, that
he almost Immediately obtained celebrity. One or
two Of very great importance being entrusted
to him, he managed them with so much wisdom
and skill as to attract the admiration of the whole
British nation
The king and his cabinet seeing what a learned
man he was, and how much influence he had ac-
quired, felt it to be importance to secure his ser
vices for the government. They therefore raised
hi IN from one post of honor to another, till he
was created Lord High Chancellor of EngI0nd-
the very highest post of honor to which any sub
ject can attain; so that John Singleton CopIey is
now Lord Lyndhurst, Lord High Chancellor Of
England. About sixty years ago he was little
boy in Boston. His father was a poor portrait
painter, hardly able to get his daily bread Now
John is at the head OF the nobility of England, one
of the most distinguished men in talent and power
in the House of Lords, and regarded with rever
ence and respect by the whole civilized world
This is the reward of industry. The sudious
boy becomes the useful and respected man.

Won't take Twenty Dollars.

Some waggish students at Yale College, a few
years since were RECALLING themselves one evening
~ the " Tontine," when an old farmer from the
country entered the room, (taking it for the bar
room,) aud inquired if he could obtain lodging
there. The old fellow, who was a shrewd Yan-
kee, saw at once that he was to be made the butt
of their tests, but quietly taking off his hat and
telling worthless little dog he had with him to
lie under the chair, he took glass of the proffer
ed beverage. The students anxlously inquired
after the healths of the old mans wife and chill
dren, and the farmer, with affected sympathy gave
them the whole pedigree, with numerous anec-
dotes regarding his farm, stock, &c,
DO you belong to the church?' asked one ofthe
wagS.
Yes, the Lord be praised, and did my father
before me-.
'WclI, suppose you would not tell lie.' re-
piled the student.
{ Not for the WorId.'
Now, what Will you take for that dogn point
ing to the farmers cur, who was not worth his
weight in Jersey mud,
| wont take twenty dollars for that dog
ETWenty dollars why he is not worth twenty
,cents.'
well, assure you l would not take twenty
dollars for him.
Come, my friend said the student, who with
his companions was bent on having some capital
fun with the old man. Now you say you WON'T
tell lie for the world; let me see if you wont do
it tor twenty dollars. Pll give you twenty dollars
for your dog
| l'l not take it,
You will not? Let me see if this won't tempt
you to lie, added the student, producing small
bag Of half dollars, from which he commenced
counting numerous small piles on the table. The
farmer was sitting by the table with his ha! in hi:
hand, apparently unconcerned
There added the student, there are twenty
dollars all in silver; Will give you that for your
dog
The old farmer quietly raised his hat to the
edge of the table, and then as quick as though
scraped all the money into it except one half dol
lar, and then exclaimed
Il wont take your twenty dollars. Nneteer
and Il halfis much as the dog is worth; he is your
IpfopcrtyP
A tremendous laugh from his fellow students
showed the woud-be wag that he was completely
rowed up, and that he need not look for hell
from that quarter; so he good naturally acknowI
edged beat. The student retained his dog, which
he keeps to this day as a lesson to him never tc
attempt to play tricks on men older than himself
and especially how he tries to wheedle Yankee

POETRY Y.
The Departed Wife.
BY G. w. CLARK.

BY C. W. CLARK.
Thou art laid to rest in the spring-time hours,
In the freshness of early feeling;
While the dew yet lies on the newborn flowers,
And winds through the wood paths are stealing;
While yet life was gay to thine ardent eye,
While its rich hopes filled thy bosom;
While each dream was pure as the upper sky,
And sweet as the opening blossom,
But thy promise of being, which sbone so fair,
Hath passed like summer cloud in air
Thy bosom is cold, which with love was warm,
And the grave embraces thy gentle form.
Thou art sumbering now in vOlceless cell,
While Nature her garland is wreathing;
While the earth seems touched with radiant
SPELL
And the air of Delights breathing;
While the day looks down with mellow beam,
Where the roses in light are blushing;
While the young leaves dance with fttul CLEAN,
And the stream into song is gushing;
While bright wings play in the golden sun,
The tomb hath carressed thee, thou faded one
The clod lies cold on that settled brow,
Which was beaming with pleasure and youth but
4 now.
Then take thy rest in that shadowy hall,
In thy mournfu shroud reposing;
There is no cloud on the soul to fall,
No dust DER its light is closing:
1t will shine in glory when time is DER,
When each phantom of earth shall wiher;
When the friends who deplore thee shall sigh no
more,
And lie down in the dust together;
Though sad winds wall in the cypress bough,
Thou art resting untroubled and calmly now,
With seal of sleep on thy folded eye,
While thy spirit is glad in the courts on high.

The Bloody Island.

If there be place more bloody than any other
in the world it is CUBA. If that Island were sunk
in the depths OF the sea, so far mortal eye can
see, humanity would have reason to re- dice. Let
the man whose heart has not been touched by the
horrors of slavery, read the following extracts
from letter in the New York Republic, from a
Matnnzas correspondent Of that paper. If after
reading them be does not feel his whole soul cry
ing out against slavery, he is either more or less
than human. Let him remember, too, that the
principle Of slavery is the same in Cuba as in
South Carolina, and under similar circumstances
would lead to the same frightfu exhibitions in the
latter as in The former Cincinnati Herald
The writer alluded to conversation which he
recently held with friend, who said he had 80
negroes, who would not be able to work for two
or three months, and for this cause:
g Some days since, was told confdentaly by
an agent Of one of The parties friendly towards me
that many of tile arrested negroes and the Carde-
nos, had declared (under the whip) that thirty of
my slaves, whose names he mentioned, were ser-
Gus y compromised. On hearing this news, | lost
not moment | caused them to be laid hold of,
whip in hand, as you may suppose, and obtained
formal avowal of their crime. learnt also, that
for more than year these wretches had kept ar
senic on the plantation for the purpose of poison
ing us, and that it was hardly two months since
the negro in whom had the utmost confidence
would have put some in my coffee, for the plea
sure, as he observed to his comrades, of seeing
me die like a rat, in the greatest agony. He went
to work most determinedly; but was hndered by
the negreSs who, by dint of prayer and entreates,
succeeded, if not in turning him from his horrible
design, at least in making him defer it to another
occasion. This negro died under the lash; all the
others have been severely classified, and this ne

gress, for not having denounced this criminal to
me, has her body acerated with blows"
Abiding to another case, this account is given:
&C On his property there are not, as in my case
merely thirty or forty slaves but between three
and four hundred. The other day, his son, wish
ing 70 chastise some of his unruly negroes, sever
al blacks who saw him, imagining their plots to
be discovered, escaped into the fields. 1t was
lucky for our friend that he had some good and
well taught dogs, which he despatched immedi-
atey at their heels. In a short time the iugltlves
were overtaken, and when our friend came up he
found them lying the ground flat on their faces,
trembling before the open Jaws OF the enemy they
most dreaded He bid them rise, and like flock
of frightened sheep they returned to their hablta-
ton, escorted and followed by the dogs, who, with
the watchfuness of Argus pressed around them
whenever they thought to sacken their footsteps
Once safe, they were more or less chastiSed but
their chief, the second engineer, as to whose pun
ishment we had considerable hesitation, fearing it
might have stopped the machine, had disappeared
the very moment we had concluded TO seize upon
i'm. The dogs were sent after him, and have
no doubt that he is by this time safely in his habi-
tation."
{" Under another date, the writer says:
" One of the persons Of the Cardenos has just
described us a few scenes, which make the blood
thrill with horror. AS | cannot believe them,
wait until can give you more positive account"
Under Il still later date, he says
"To-day, as l can speak to you with some
knowledge Of the case, mention that Il slave has
been bound and whipped under the following cir
cumstances: Mr.. Dodge, persevered obstinatey in
preserving silence on every question that was put
after each stroke of the whip After the sixth
eth blow, they pcecei we'd thar he was nsensibIe,
and that they must wait for another OCCASION to
extort confession from him. Yesterday they
recommended whipping him, and although the
pain was still more eXcruciating, and the whip
was dashed over the dreadful wounds which had
been inflicted the day before, he still preserved
the same silence, and remained in similar state
of insensbillty. To-day, several persons have
seen him. They are ignorant of what place he
came from, but they are all satisfied that no nlor-
nation can be obtained by subjccting him to the
LASH"

Had John S. CopIey spent his school boy days
in ideness, he would probably have passed his
manhood in poverty and shame But he studied
in school when the other boys were idle; he studi-
ed in College, when other young men were vast
ing their time; he even adopted for his motto,
" Ultra pergere," (pross onward,) and how rich
has been his reward
You, my young friends, are now laying the
foundation for your future life. You are every
day at school deciding the question whether you
will be respected in life, or whether your man
hood shall be passed in mourning over the follies
ofmisspent boyhood.

To PRESERVE EeGs.-The shells of eggs are
porous, and by being long kept, the fluid contents
evaporate gradually, and that in proportion as the
temperature of the weather is increased; the va
cant space occasioned by the evaporation, is inn
mediately filled with air, and this air acts on the
contents ofthe egg, and produces decomposition
or rottenness. Now, if the air can be prevented
from entering through the shell, the egg will re-
main sound for an indefinite period-tor decompo-
sition cannot take place without air. Bcamur
tried vanishing eggs to preserve them but he
found the cheapest and most ehectual method was
to apply oil or grease, with which they were dip
ped. The Transportation Of matter from the egg,
was proved to be as eGectually stopped by the
thinnest layer of fat, as by thick coating, so that
no sensible vestge ba left the surface of the
shell. All sorts of fat, grease or oil were found
we'll adapted to preserve eggs; they were served
for nine months, as fresh as on the day which
they were laid. Other plans of accomplishing the
same purpose might be stated, but the above is so
simple, cheap and efIectua that it is deemed un-
necessary.

The following, from the Lowell Offering of last
month, is worthy of Krummacher, or Jean Paul.
THE WASTED FLOWERS.

On the velvet hank Of rivuet sat rosy child.
Her lap was filled with flowers, and garland Of
rose buds was tWined around her neck. Her face
was as radient as the sunshine that fell upon it,
and her voice was as clear as that of the bird
which Warbcd at her side.
The little stream went signing on, and with ev-
cry gush of lis music the child lifted flower in its
dimpled hand, and with merry laugh threw it
upon It's surface. In her gee she forgot that her
treasures were growing less, and with the swift
motion of chiIdhood, she flung them on the spark
ling tide, until every bud and blossom had disap-
peaIed. Then, seeing her loss. she sprang to her
feet, and, bursting into tears called aloud to the
stream" Bring back my fowers" But the
stream danced along, regardless Of her tears; and
as it bore The blooming burden away, her words
came back in tauuting echo along its reedy mar
gin. And long after, amid the waIing of the
breeze and the fitfu bursts of childish grief, was
heard the f'uitle$s cry-"Brng back my Aowers.'
Merry maiden, who art idly wasting the pre-
cous moments so bountifuIIy bestowed upon thee,
see, in the thoughtlcss impusive child, an en-
bIem of myself. Each moment is Il perfumed
flower. Let its fragrance be dispensed in bless
lngs on all around thee, and ascend as sweet in
cense to its Giver.
Else, when thou hast careIessIy flung the m from
thee, and secst them receding on the swift waters
of time, thou wilt cry in tones more sorrowfuI
than those Of the weeping child" Bring back my
fowers!" Aud the only answer will be an echo
from the shadowy past" Bring back mig FotO-
erS r'-RoTHA.
