SEEING, THE PANORAMA :a
Ut, how Mr.. LarkinS came near getting his
m0neV'S worth
moneys worth.

MUH6! WOFtH.
The editor of the Pihsburg SUNDAY
Mercury (Mr. jones' tells the following
good one. as happening at an. exhibition
now in that city.
Larkins is money making man, and
calculating man, and when he goes to
any expense, he expects to get the worth
of his money. s
The other night Larkins took Mrs. Lar.
kins to see Donnavan's great Panorama.
The two tickets cost the round sum of fifty
cents, and as the money was freely paid,
it may be inferred that Larkins had been
reading. and had fully believed. the prais.
es ot this exhibition, which have been
published in the daily papers.
When the picture commenced moving,
Larking took out his pencil, and began to
cipher on the programme which he held
in his hand. aIE
"rhey say,it is two miles long on this
bill" said be, land if it should pass i'm
less than two hours, I'll set it down for a
humbug. A show that doesn't last two
hours isn't worth quarter. However,
l'll soon figure it out"
Larkins took out his watch, and shut.
ting one eye, began to calculate at the
rate the Panorama was moving.
"Now, my dear, I'll have it. I've as
certained the rate of progress exactly lei
me see-five and half yards make one
rod, pole or peroh--nought's nought-
five and carry two"
All at once he dropped the pencil, and
looking Mrs. Larkins full in the face, ex.
claimed in voice which made half the
audience turn around.
"Wife! we're in for Il, and no mistaken"
Hush don't talk so loud, my love"
said Mrs. Larkins. "What in the worlds
the matter?' -... ...
"The matter" replied Larkins, "why
we've bought our tickets, and we are
bound to stay until the thing lets out !"
SWELL! what of that Pm sure the
picture looks very nice"
sit does, does Il" cried Larkins, the
cold perspiration starting from his brow.
81 can tell you, you'll have enough of it,
then. It's now just half past eight
nought's a nought-six and carry--iI
that cursed things two miles long We'll
get out tomorrow eracily at sun dorn!-
In PHYS name what will become of the
poor children"
And good thing it was for those two
dear little pledges left at home, with no.
body to take care Of them but a thought
less nurse, that Larkins made mistake
in his figures, or that the Panorama was
not quite two miles long--we don't know
which. Had the calculation been all right

THE DYING VOLUNTEER.
BY 9. W. PArTEN, o. 5. ARMY.

Here, comrades, rest me here!
Beside the grassy road;
Let yon soft couch, where autumn sere
Hath cast her robes from year to year,
Receive your weary load.
Leave me whore breezes play
Mid palm trees waving high,
And flowers exert such pleasing sway,
That Deeth himself aside might stray,
Forgetting where l lie. l-
Counsel yon leaping stream
To strike lite thunder strain,
And let awhile each billowy CLEAN
Invest my sight--that | may dream
The battle wakes again
That blazing banners fly
Where steeds expectant stand,
And as breathe my latest sigh,
OF dying, as hoped to die.
With the falchion in my hand.
For this | left my home
But the wild, wild dream hath past;
No more upon my ear will come
The war-beat ofthe gathering drum,
Or the trumpet's rousing blast.
he sun hath set in night
Which once so fair did shine,
Wrestling forever from my sight
Columns deep serried for the fight,
And square and wheeling line.
Upon the battle bed, .f-..
While rang the battle cry,
Gazing upon the eagle red,
Whose shadowy wings above me spread
1t was my prayer to die.
Not thus unwept--alone,
Painting, to yield my breath,
Where the hot breeze hath tone
While passing, like the fever'd groan
Of melancholy Death. '
Yet not in vain shall fee
My life's fast melting ray
Comrades, go tell them, who, like me,
Still pine to sail on glory's sea,
How little wise are they.
And mention, as ye came
Along the wandering wave,
How on a spot without name,
Far hidden from the search of Fame,
Ye paus'd beside my grave.

CHASED BY BUFFALOES;
Or, How the Poney run his Legs off

A queer little animal was Joe Dunklin's
poney-one of those freaks which some
times happen even in the we'll regulated

An ElO0uent Remark.

General Clss, IN the patriotic Grafton
which he delivered at the opening of the
Wabash and Erie Canal, in Indiana, in
1643, made the following comparison, full
of beauty and the stirring force of true ell
oquence. Says he:
81 have stood upon the plain of Mara
thon, the hattie field of liberty. 1t is silent
and desolote, Neither Greek nor Persian
is there to give life or animation TO the
scene. 1t is bounded by sterile hills on
one side, and dashed by the eternal waves
Of the Egean sea on the other. But
Greek and Persian were once there, and
that decayed spot was alive with hostile
armies, who fought the great fight which
rescued Greece from the yoke of Persia.
And have stood upon the hill Of Zion,the
city of Jesusalem, the scene of our Re-
deemer's. suferings, and crucifxion and
ascension. But the sceptre has departed
from Judah, and its glory from the temple
OF Solomon. The Assyrian, the Egyptian,
the Greek, the Roman, the Arab, the
Turk, and the Crusaders have passed over
this chiefpiace of Israel, and have reft it
its power and beauty. Inthose regions
of the East where society passed Its infan-
cy, it seems to have reached decrepitude.
If the associations which the memory of
their past glory excites are powerful, they
are melancholy. They are without graf
ifcation for the present and hope for the
future. But here we are in the freshness
Of youth. and can look torward Nth ra-
tional confidence to ages Of progress in
all that giOeS potoer and pride to man.
and dignity TO human nature. 1t better
to look forward to prosperity, than back
to glory"

The rain is playing its soft pleasant tune
Filfully on the skylight, and the shade
OF the fast-hying clouds across my hook
Passes with delicate change. My merry fire
Sings cheerfully to itself; my muSing eat
Purrs as she wakes from her unquiet sleep,
And looks into my face as il she felt
Like me the gentle influence of The rain.
Here | have sat since morn, reading some
times,
And sometimes listening to the faster fall
OF the large drops, or rising with the stir
OF an unbiddeD thought, have walked awhile
With the slow steps of incidence, my room,
And then sat down composedly again
To my quaint book of olden poetry.

And | am said 10 be an idle man

Out in the pleasant sun, and let my eye
Rest on the human faces that pass by,
Each with its gay or busy interest:
And then | muse upon their lot, and read
Many a lesson in their changeful cast,
And so grow kind of heart as if the sight
OF human beings were humanity.
And | am better after 1t, and 90
More gratefully 10 my rest, and feel a love
Stirring my heart TO every living thing,
And my low prayer has more humility,
And | sink lightlier to my dreams-and this,

In the gay fesIal room-when every heart

And their blue eyes are restless, and theiI
lips
Parted with eager joy, and their round cheeks
Flushed with the beautiful motion of The
dance,
And can look upon such things, and 90
Back to my solitude, and dream bright dreams
For their fast coming years, and speak of then
Earnestly in my prayer, till l am glad
With a benevolent joy-and this, | know,
To the worlds eye is only idleness!
And when the clouds pass suddenly away,
And the blue sky is like a newer world,
And the sweet growing things-forest anC

Humble and beautiful alike-aTe all
Breathing up odors TO the very heaven
Or when the frost has yielded TO the sun
In the rich autumn, and the 6lmy mist
Lies like a silver lining on the sky,
And the clear air exhilerates, and life
Simply, is luXury-and when the hush
OF twilight, like a gentle sleep, steals on,
And the birds settle to their nests, and star

And course the heavens, like stars, that float

Upon the gliding clouds that have no stay
In their swift jo~urney-and 'twouid be a Joy

The pearls Of its unlrodden floor, and know
The tribes Of the uniathomable depths
Dwellers beneath the pressure Of a sea!

On a strong Grand, and o'erswopp the earth
Wlth the broad continents aud islands green,
like to the passing OF a spirit on i

Law and Lawyers in Norway.

The administration of the civil law in Nor
way is most admirably contrived. In every
school district, the freeholders elect a Justice
of the Court of Reconciliation. Every law
suit must first be brought before this Justice,
and by the parties in person, as no lawyer or
attorney is allowed to practise in this court.
The parties appear in person, and state their
mutual complaints and grievances at length,
and the Justice carefully notes down all The
facts and statements Of the plaintiff and de-
PENDANT, and after due consideration, endea-
vors to arrange the matter, and proposes for
this purpose what he considers 10 be perfect
ly Just and fair in the premises. II his iudg-
ment is accepted, it is Immediately entered
in the court above, which is a court of Re
cord; and if it is appealed from, the case goes
up to the District Court, upon ihe evidence
already taken in writing by the Justice Of the
Court of Reconciliation No other evidence
is admitted. If the terms proposed by the
Justice are pronounced TO be just and reason
able, the party appealing has TO pay the costs
and charges of the appeal. This system of
minor courts prevents a deal of unnecessary,
expensive and vexatious litigation. The case
goes up from court 10 court upon the same
evidence, and the legal argument rests upon
the facts, without trick or circumlocution Of
any kind from either party. There is no
chance for petIifoggers-the banditti of the
bar. Poor or stupid clients cannot be delu-
ded, nor Judge or jury mystiied by the skill
Of sharp practitioners in the courts of law in
Norway. More than twothirds of the suits
commenced are settled in the Court of Re-
Cancellation, and of the remaining third not
so settled, not more than onc-,cnlh are ever
carried up.

What might be done, ii men were wise
What glorious deeds, my suffering brother
Would they unite,
In love and right,
And cease their scorn Of one another!
Expressions heart might be imbue6
With k]indling drops Of kindness,
And knowledge pour,
From shore to shore,
Light in the eyes Of menta! blindness.
All Slavery, Warfare, Lies, and Wrong,
All Vice and Crime might die together;
And wine and corn
To each man born
BE free as warmth in summer weather.
The meanest wretch that ever trod,
The deepest sunk in guilt and sorrow,
Might stand erect
In elrEespect
And share the teem;ng world tomorrow.
What might be done! This might be done,
And more than his, my suffering brother
More Than the tongue
Fer said or sung,
If men were wise and loved each other.

We Northern Freemen, rise We up
In all your mighty strength and pride;
No longer drink the bitter cup
OF SIavery's foul and sick'ning tide;
No longer move with rapid stride
To crush your brethren 20 the dust
Their cries and tears no more deride,
Nor give them Ger TO Slayery's trust.
Ye sturdy Mortimer, bear no yoke,
And spurn the clauking chain away
Heed not the politicians croak-
The heartless minion Of a day:
But hold yourselves in firm array
Against this monster, crying SIM
The hand of ruin ye can stay,
Let freedoms battle now begin.
Hear we that stricken mothers cry,
As from her breast her babe is torn!
And can we now stand coolly by,
And see it to the monster borns7
OF freedoms spirit are We shorn,
That We delay to give your aid,
And let this suffering mother mourn
Der her fond hopes in darkness laid
Then rise we up, ii We can feel
For the chained captive's grievous wron.
Not by the aid Of martial steel
But strike a more decisive blow,
BY giving ev'ry one to know
That he should labor all he can
The gift of freedom to bestow,
And elevate his brother man.
