TlOHghfS for NV Son.

My son if you would be great man carry
your head low-be meek and humble-learn TO
bear and forbear and TO wait The greatest,
the most learned men were the meekest and
the humblest. Shakespeare was meek and hum
Bile. The more the divine Sevan felt able to
sing, his song but made him the more humble.
The more YOU know, higher your aspirations,
your requirements teach you your own insignl-
icance. Lower yet higher, Nearer man near
er God How modestly nature reveals her
truths! Place your soul in unision with that
great heart, and you shall grow in knowledge
of herself, knowledge of man-you shall rever-
ence more deeply all discovered truth-you
shall anticipate the truths now hidden yet to be
revealed, and through man, mind, nature, truth,
YOU shall come to know God. And then the
bliss of Heaven, How the meek, the humble
and the lowly shall enjoy that No sorrow
there-no suffering-no cold nor heat-no hun
ger or thirst unsatisfied-no tears, no want, no
poverty, no estrangement, no separation Of
married hearts, no unlovingness, no languish-
ing. no shame, no disease, no death, no grave
The flowers droop not there No tone of mu-
sic, once cheering to the human heart, is ever
lost. All renewed-all up-springing all
sunshine-all peace That Holy Face hath
not the darkness of sorrow. On our Father S
brow dwells no shade of anger. Come blessed
season Oh. my son, my son Canst thou
not bear-canst thou not weep out all thy tears
here, to enjoy the fearless repose Of Eternity

Rural Pastimes.

JuLI \! What delightful month How
pleasant at this season is a ramble in the coun-
try, and what innumcrable sources of exquisite
and never wearying enjoyment are presented,
as, leaving "the dusty city, pent,' we stroll
away to the green fields and fragrant wood
lands, and loose ourselves in those vouptuous
visions which the spirit of Nature. in the mind
of him who is her true child, never fails to in
spire. To the man of business, wearied and
jaded by the "carking cares" and exasperating
vicissitudes of business-to the pale student
whose life has been shrivelle6 before the bright
and enervated will, no longer respond to the
heavenward promptings of an inspired spirit.
and who feels within himself the crushing con-
sciousness that, long-long ere he shall have
succeeded in unveiling the arcane whose mys-
tic depths he has madly attempted to explore,
the capacity of enjoyment will have been dead
ened within his mind-to the politician, ex-
hausted by perpetual efforts to realize some
idolized scheme of dubious policy, and mad
dened by the rebound of the stone which. like

brightest hopes, and filed his mind with bitter
and upbraiding thoughts, till. wearied, he has
sought secluson from the world in scme retired
nook-how grateful is the breath, breathing
from unpolluted nature; the grateful quiet of
rural life. To such, nature, at this delightful
season offers Sabbath to the mind. In her
deep sanctuary, by the melodious streams, he
can "oust his spirit from the worlds strong
grasp" and "once again be free"
No man who has not bowed too cravenly-
too servilely at the shrine of ambition. or be-
come too deeply involved in the intricacies OF
political schemes, to allow the primal sympa-
thes of his heart to expand freely at the
promptings of nature, can be otherwise than
exhilarated and made happy by the ''bland
charms" and luxurious loneliness which, at
this voluptuous season adorn the cath.
If you feel sated-hie at once to nature =
Throw aside tome. and pen and scroll, lie. the
Ixion wheel of ambition pause in its dizzy ey-
rations, and seek the sweet retreats of the old
en- woods, or the freshness of the dowery fields
Here you will meet the great preacher TRUTH
no deception, no hypocrisy. no delusive prom
ises, no fancy-show, ''false as hell" will be
thrown around your way. Be true to your
SELF and nature will open her arms and receive
you as . worshipper worthy Of officiating at heI

MISCELLANY
Truth Stranger than Fiction.


The Pennsylvania correspondent of the ST
Louis Republican, May ID, relates the follow
ing occurrence
A young man recently made his escape from
the gallevs at Toulouse. He was stronc and
vigorous, and soon made his way across the
country and escaped pursuit. He arrived the
next morning before cottage in an open field,
and stopped to beg something to cat, and con-
cealment while he reposed little. But he
found the inmates of the cottage in the greatest
distress. Four little children sat TREMBLING in
a corner, their mother was weeping and tearing
her hair, and the father walking the floor in
agony. The galley slave asked what was the
matter, and the father replied tha, they were
that morning to be turned out of doors because
they could not pay their rent. You see me
driven to despair said the father, my wife
and little children without food or shelter, and
l without the means to provide any for them
The convict listened to this tale with tears
Of sympathy, and then said:
Il will give you means. | have but Just es-
capped from the galleys; whoever secures and
takes back an escaped prisoner is entitled to
reward of fifty francs. How much does your
rent amount 10 =
Forty francs, answered the father.
We'll, said the other, put cord around my
body, will follow you to the city, they viii
recognize me. and you will get fifty francs for
bringing me back
No, nevern exclaimed the astonished listen
er, my children should starve dozen times
before would do so base thing.
The generous young man insisted, and de-
clared at last that he would go and give HIM
self up, if the father would not consent to take
him. After long struggle the latter yielded,
and taking his preserver by the arm, led him to
the city, and to the mayors office. Every
body was surprised that little man like the
father had been able to capture such strong
young fellow, but the proof was before them !;
the fifty francs were paid and the prisoner sent
back to the galeys. But after he was gone,
the father asked private interview of the may
or, to whom he told the whole story. The
mayor was so much affected that he not only
added fifty francs more to the fathers purse,
but wrote Immediately to the minister of Jus
tice, begging the noble young prisoner release.
The minister examined into the affair, and
finding that it was comparatively small of
fence which had condemned the young man to
the galleys, and that he had already served out
half his time, he ordered his release Is not

New HAMPsHIRE.-The message of Gov
Dinsmore, to the Legislature Of New Hamp-
shire, just convened, treats principally of the
business affairs of the State The following
is the concluding paragraph of the message =
In common with the people of the whole
Union, we feel deep and cngrossing interest
IN the great questions which are now agitatinc
our national councils. Their present aspect
forbids the hope that peace can be given to the
country by the triumph of either extreme of
opinion The people of New Hampshire have
ever declared their unalterable hostility to cv-
cry form of oppression. They regard the prin-
ciple of human liberty as sacred and divine,
and to this sentiment they will ever be constant
and true. They also love the Union, and will
hold to terrible responsibility those who trifie
with its safety. think / do not mistake the
sentiments of the people of New Hampshire.
They believe it impossible to terminate this
rulnous strife in accordance with the principles
of true philanthropy and genuine patriotism,
and TO his end would ferventlv invoke that
spirit of Cancellation and compromise which can
alone preserve the peace and perpetuity of this
glorious coniederacy.'

Leathers, Of Warren, n. H., some time last
fall, purchased an oil barrel which was filed
with cider and placed in his celar.-A week or
two since. he tapped the barrel to taste few
mugs full of the erhilarating beverage. MIR.
Leathers and a man at work with him drank
freely of the cider, and soon they became very
sick. Others came to visit them and drank of
the cider. They too became sick, and the
physician was in full labor in the administra-
tion of emetics and cathariics. Four of the
drinkers are now sick and two of them are ex-
pected to die. The heads of the cider barrel
were knocked out and about five pounds OF

Early Potatoes.

a shrewd old fellow was Uncle Ned many
sly trick did he play the good-humored land
lord of the village tavern. Mine host. however
always took it in good part for the sake of the
joke, and generally treated the old man for his
wit. We give one of Uncle Ned's pranls,
which Mr.. B. declared was rather too close a
rub. g..
1t the travelling season, and Mr. b.
having for supper some of the upper ten for
guests, was very busy trying to procure every
rarity for the table and among other things he
wished for some new potatoes. He had gar
den at little distance from the hotel, but on
examination he found but one or two in each
hill of potatoes of cooking size, and did not wish
TO dig them up.
There being a number Of persons in the bar
room, Mr. B. said TO them that he would give
25 cents for peck of new potatoes. Uncle
Ned was present, and said he thought he could
get them.
Makes no difference uh1e | get em, s,pose
said he, as he started from the bar-room.
No, said Mr.. B., only get peck of good
ones and I'll give you the quarter.
In short time the old man returned with a
nice lot, and the landlord gladly paid the quar-
ter.
Uncle Ned was pocketing the change; Mr..
B. asked where he got them.
Treat and I'll tell, said he.
Mr.. B. accordingly set on the ardent, Of a
due portion of which Uncle Ned soon made a
safe disposal.
Wall, Mr.. b. said he, you'll find plenty
on 'em down in your garden; that's where
got these
'Whew :, said Boniface, 4 don't believe that; !;
but III see.' So he posted off down to the
garden, and found it true Uncle Ned had been
there, sure enough; and by opening nearly ev-
cry hill had procured the peck.
This was rather a bitter pill but knowing it
would do no good to quarrel with Uncle Ned.
he swallowed it manfully, and had no occasion
to buy any more new potatoes, finding plenty
on 'em in his own garden. .'-Ran'Jler.

from the Porte, granting them permission to
build temple on Mount Zion The projected
edifice is to equal Solomon's temple in magni-

been collected for the purpose in America

This IS not improbable. The scverities
against the Jews in the Ottoman dominions,

temple on Mount Moriah, to bcwail over their
