Brother, art thou poor and lowly,
Toiling, drudging, day by day.
Journeying painfully and slowly,
On thy dark and desert way
Pause not though the proud ones flown!
Sink not, fear not--live them down!
Though to Vice thou shalt not pander,
Though to virtue thou shalt kneel,
Yet thou shall not escape SANDER
Jibe and lie thy soul must feel
Jest Of whitling-curse Of clown
Heed not eiiher-Live them down!
Hate may WELD her scourges horrid,
Malice may thy woes deride:
Scorn may bind with thorns thy forehead =
Envy's spear may pierce thy side!
Lo! though Cross shall come TO Crown!

Life i'm Cities.

The New York Tribune" discourages all those
who contemplate changing their country for city
life The cities are full, and over full, we are
told. There being an over supply of labor, there
is want and suffering among those seeking en-
ployment. Many seek employment here without
finding any. Gigantic foreign emigration fills US
with the cheapest sort of labor. The editor says:
-" But do you contend that no American
should erer migrate from the country to one of
our cities !" No, sir, we do not. What we do
maintain is this Whoever leaves the country to
come hither should feel that he has faculties ca
pacities and powers for which the country affords
him no scope and that the city is his proper sphere
of usefulnes. He should next be sure that he has
the ability to procure livelihood while he shall
be laborng TO attain that sphere which he regards
as his ultimate destination No youth should mi
CRATE to a city without thorough mechanical
trade or hancraft such is prosecuted in Cities
although he may not intend to follow it except in
case of dire necessity.
Teaching. clerking, law, &C., are very pre-
carious, except to men Of established reputation
and business, that it is next to madness for a
youth to come here relying upon them. With a
good trade, hearty willingness to work, strict
temperance and habits of economy, it will be hard
to siarve out man who is trained only for teach
er or clerk, or who I" is willing TO do any thing
which means that he knows how to do nothing
With these our city always has been, always will
be crowded it pays for burying the greater part
of them.
! The young man fit to come to city does not
begin by importunng some relative or friend to
find make place for him. Having first quail
ifed himsel SO far he may, for usefulness here,
he comes understanding that he must begin at the
foot of the class and work his way up. Having
found place to stop, he makes himself acquaint-
ed with those places where work in his line may
| be found, sees the advertisements of Wants" in
the leading Journal at an early hour each morning,
notes those which hold out some prospects for him,
and accepts the first place offered him which he
can take honorably and fill acceptably. He who
commences in this way is likely to get ON.
But for him whose chief object is to live COM
forably, or even to acquire wealth by honest in
dustry, the city is not the place. The mass oi
men and women work far steadier and harder here
for bare subsistence than they do away from
the cities. To say nothing of the ruder manual
toll by which no man can support family in COM
fort, the average earnings of good mechanics here
will not exceed eight dollars per week the year
,ound. or $40O per annum This will seem con-
siderable to mechanics who can hire good house
and garden for $50 to $50, with often strip OF
pasture or meadow attached; but let such one
consider that here almost any kind of house costs
from $500 to $500 per annun and the meanest
dopicn into which family cam be crowded-per-

The Seven.shilling Piece.

Il was during the panic Of 1928 that gentle
man. whom we shall call Mr.. Thompson, was
seated with something OF melancholy look in
his dreary backroom watching his clerks paying
away thousands of pounds hourly. Thompson
was banker of excellent credit; there existed,
perhaps, in the city of London no safer concern
/ than that of Messrs. Thompson and Co; but at
moment such as speak of, no rational reiec-
aun was admitted, no former stability was looked
10: a general distrust was felt, and every one
rushed to his bankers to withdraw his hoard, fear
u that the next instant would be too late. forget
tng entirely that this step was that of all others
/ the most likely to insure the ruin he sought to
! avoid
But 10 return The wealthy citizen sat gloom
y watching the outpouring of his gold, and with
grim smile listening to the clamorous demands
G his cashier for although he felt perfectly easy
and secure as to the ultimate strength OF his re-
sources, vet he could not repress feeling Of Bit
| lerness as he saw constituent after constituent
| rush in, and those whom he fondly imagined to
be his dearest friends eagerly assisting in the run
upon his strong-box.
Presently the door opened, and stranger was
ushered in, who. after gazing for moment at the
hewildered banker, coolly drew a chair, and ab-
uptly addressed him. " You will pardon me sir,
fer asking strange question; but am plain

THE EFFECT OF CHARCOAL ON Flowers
The following extract cannot fail to be interesting
to the boanist and the chemist, well as to every
lady who has rose-bushin her garden, or flower
pot in her parlor. 1t is from the Paris Horticul-
tural Review" of July last, translated by Judge
Meigs, of New York, for the Farmers Club of the
American Institute. The experiments described
were made by Robert Berauds, who says:
about year ago made bargain for a rose
bush, of magnificent growth and full of buds. |
waited for them to blow and expected roses worthy
of such noble plant, and of the praises bestowed
upon it by the vendor. At length, when it
bloomed, all my hopes were blasted. The flowers
were of faded color, and discovered that had
only middling mutifora, stale colored enough.
therefore resolved to sacrifice it to some expert
ments which | had in view. My attention had
been captivated with the effects of charcoal, as
stated ip some English publications l then
covered the earth in the pot, in which my rose
bush was, about half an inch deep with puiuer'sed
charcoal! Some days after was asfonshed to see
