Tnr BLAcKsMirn'sBoY AND HIS HAMMER

some years ago we were travelling through
tho interior Of Pennsylvania, and had occasion
to stop for the night in small town. During
the evening we went into store for the pur-
pose of purchasing some articles of which we
stood in need and whilst there our attention
was attracted by little boy whose clothes was
begrimed with SCOT and coal, from working in
the blacksmth's shop, (for he was black
smiths apprentice.) He brought to the mer-
chant small hammer which he said he had
made out of pieces of iron given 10 him by his
master. Said he, "Sir, will you be so kind as
to give me spelling book for this hammer?
| want TO read, and have not the money TO
buy book" The merchant was so pleased
that he gave him the book and allowed him TO
keep his hammer 100. This was an example
Of perseverance worthy the imitation OF every
boy in the land. We took down the name Of
that boy in our memorandum book, expecting
to hear Of him again; and we have heard Of
him since, for we were told but lately, that he
has made wonderful proficiency in his studies;
and we believe that high position is in res
ervaton for that humble blacksmith's appren-
tice,-those who live long enough will hear of
him in time to come. Cultivate the same
perseverance boys, and distinction will surely
be yours. Make for yourselves, as that boy
ulu, manner anu determine WIN u 10 nam
mer down and break up all difficulties in your
way to greatness and happiness. You have
the materials out of which TO make hammer
better materials than that poor rough-isted
yet noble hearted blacksmith boy had. You
have time, and you have plenty of books, and
every facility Of improvement within your
reach. Out of all these ,then, you are to make
your hammer That hammers TO be mental and
moral excellence. Go to work, now, and make
it, Make your minds and hearts what they
ought to be and with this hammer you can
knock aside every thing that arises to impede
your progress You are in the valley now,
but perseverance will place youon the top ofthe
mountain by and by.
There are flowers on the mountain Top Of sweetest
smell and hue,
Bright, sparkling fosntasns gsshiss there, apd
cloadless sunshine too.

THE OCEAN AND ISLANDS OF TIME.

The coming in of a new year is suited TO
awaken new and solemn reflections, and to
teach impressive lessons concerning the rapid
flight Of past and future years Yesterday I,
says beautiful writer, we were children Just
embarking ON the ocean of life, spreading all
our sails TO catch the prosperous breeze, and
looking forward with elated hopes to rich and
balmy isles at which we should touch, and to
the peaceful haven where we should east an
Choir for great many happy years. We pro-
ceeded--out the sky was overcast, cross winds
drove US devious we saw those pleasant isles
at a distance, but could not reach them. We
often took our observations to find the peace
full haven where all our cares were to end
Oft times we thought we saw the rising spires,
and hope glistened in our eye. AT last we find
we have passed the long looked-for spot, and
cannot return, and that an irresistible current
is CARRYING us directly into eternity. Yester-
day we were children seting out in life with
sanguine hopes of finding. what had not been
found before, paradise on earth replete with
soul satisfying comfort. We advanced, but
did not find it yet the image of il glitiered in
our eye. We still dreamed that we We're
Young and had time enough TO overtake it,
We pressed forward bur the image kept be-
fore us. Sometimes we felt the sting Of dis
appointment; but we comforted ourselves with
the thought that the principal part, the most
splendid and delightful part of life was yet be-
fore us, and that we should presently overtake
the time when we could dismiss our cares
and commence long period Of peace. We
still dreamed that we were young; until we
awoke and found that we had got into years,
and that the paradise we had been seeking,

THE sLHEPxNo BABES.
Twas summer, and Sabbath eve,
And balmy was the air,
saw sight that made me grieve.
And yet that sight was far;
Within little coffin lay
Two little babes, as sweet Is May.
Like waxen dolls, that infants dress,
Their little bodies were;
A look Of placid happiness
Did on each face appear;
And in coffin, short and wide,
They lay together, side by side.
A rosebud nearly closed, I found,
Each little hand within,
And many pink was strewed around,
With sprigs Of jessamine
And yet the flowers that round them lay
Were not to me more fair than they.
Their mother, as lily pale,
Stood by that collins head,
And, bending Ger them, told her tale,
And many tear she shed;
Yet of she cried, amidst her pain,
"My babes and shall meet again."

THE ROSE.

Not long since was introduced TO a young
lady OF pleasing manners, quite graceful in con.
versation, and apparently of no ordinary ac.
complIshments. Her friend, by whom she
was introduced, appeared 10 appreciate the
worth Of so valued friend, and beguiled the
moments with many endearing expressions
and my short interview with the two friends,
passed very pleasantly. A short time after, !
received beautiful rose from the young lady
with whom had this brief interview. as To-
ken OF her kind remembrance of our short ac-
quaintance. This carefully laid aside as an
emblem Of the loveliest of youth.
have since learned that this lovely creature
had formed an acquaintance with gay and
fashionable dandy, whose beauty and pleasing
address furnish ready passpor, into parties OF
pleasure ;and, many heart has cause to bleed
in consequence of his sordid and licentious
principles.
Her father, on hearing the character of her
associate, and fearing the consequences of fur
ther intimacy, dismissed this libertlne, without
ceremony, from his house. The daughter, I'M
used to parental control, sought clandestine op-
ponuuities TO meet her gay decelver, and thus,
not only stained her own character with inia-
my for ever, but brought down the grey hairs
Of her parents with sorrow to the grave
While contemplating these affecting occur
rences, sought the rose that might again re-
fleet upon youth, beauty, and innocence but,
what a contrast here met my viewl The
leaves and stem Of the rose were encircled in a
spiders web, while a huge black spider had
apparently consumed the leaves of the blossom,
anu was rr@Siuy mbedded in the pulp OF the
flower which he had so wantonly deprived Of
all its loneliness. Here indeed was an emblem
not of loneliness and beauty but,of the des-
troyer OF innocence, virtue, and happiness
Poor girl thought !, the loathsome reptile who
has encircled you in shroud Of infamy. des-
uoyed your loneliness, and fixed his deadly
fangs deep in your heart, is still the more I'M
satisfied, still going on from conquests TO con
quer. The lovely, the unsuspecting, and the
beautiful, may well uemble al his approach,
for. It IS their destruction in which he takes a
fendish delight--N Y Tribune.

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-The last Peters
burg lntelhgencer says: A question of much
interest to bankers and merchants was decided
a day or two ago by the Superior Court of
Petersburg, Judge GHoLsoY. The point was
whether note made in Virginia, and express
ed to be negotiable and payable at Bank in
New York, was negotiable note by the laws
of Virginia, and so upon a footing with for
eign bills of exchange The decision turned
upon the construction Of the following clause
ofthe act Of 1897, prescribing general regula-
tons for the incorporation OF Banks "But
no note or obligation shall be negotiable at any
such bank unless il be so expressed on the face
Of such note or obligation, or unless said note
or obligation be made payable at said bank, or
some other bank in or out Of the State" The
Court decided that. under this provision, a note
made payable at any bank IN or out of the State
is negotiable, though not expressed TO be nego-
table at any bank in Virginia; and consequent
y that the note in question was negotiable,
and on the same footing with a foreign bill of
exchange. II was commended, in opposition to
this opinion, that the effect OF the provision in
question is, that note TO be negotiable at
bank in Virginia, must not only be so express
ed on its face as was already required by the
bank charters, but that it must likewise be
made payable at some bank in or out of the
State-the counsel reading the clause as if the
word "or" had been ''nor."
