A correspondent of the New York England
er relates The following:-- "a fact which
came in possession of couple Of years ago,
NAV illustrate the character of the New Eng
landers, and reveal the origin of some bran
ches of their profitable business. S. w. was
the son Of our country clergyman, and was
accustomed to labcring on farm in summer
and keeping school in The winter. He was
rtiora industrious and frugal, and iooh wife
possessing the same qualities together win
a shrewd propensity 10 calculate all articles
of living. One day her husband brought
home the cloth and Trimmings for new coat
The wife inquired he price of the buttons,
which she noticed were made of cloth "last-
ing. ." or, more fully, everlasting covered on
10 wooden button mqnlds. She thought she
could afford as good button, made by hand,
for less money. The next day, like the irne
daughter of Yankee, she tricd the thing
out She bought the cloth by the yard, and
the moulds by the dozen; and in week she
had better buttons, al a less price in the mar
ket. The thing would pay S. w. soon lett
farming and schoo-keepiug, bought the cloth
which his vile cut iulo bulun.coyers and
bulten-moulds, hired the women and the girls
! of the neiehburiug towns TO make them up
and sold them al great profits.
''Soon another entered into partnership
| with him, and invented the machinery 10 do
the work Then the plain lasting was chan
ged to velvei and satin aud twist. Improve
ment on improvement in the machinery was
made, till they equaled the English, or
| French, or German buttons. S. w. now owes
one Of the sweetest villages in The Connect
cut valley, and almost supplies the Uried
States with coats aud overcuats. He has en-
dowed an academy munifceully has con-
tributed like prince TO the funds of highly
| distinguished aud useful female seminary
and has rescued Il noble college from embar-
rasmeni. So much for the careiulness of a
prudent wife, and so much for disposition

than thrive in idleness on the hard and too Of

Liking and Dislilsing.
By CHARLES SWAIN,

Ye who know the reason; tell me
How it is that instinct sill
Prompts the heart 10 iike-or not ike
AT lis own capracions will
Tell me by what hidden magic
Our Impressions fist are led
lntO lking--ot dislking-
OF before word be said
Why should smiles sometimes repel us
Bright eyes turn our feelings cold
What rs that which comes TO tell US
All that gltttrs is not gold
Oh no feature, plain or striking,
But power we cannot shuu;
Prompts our liking or disikiug,
Ere acquaintance hath begun
Is il instinct-or some spirit
Which protects us. and controls
Every impulse we inherit
By some sympathy of soulsi
Is it instinct? is it nature!
Or some freak or fault of chance,
Which our liking, Or di,liking,
Limits 10 a single glance!
Like prescntiment Of danger,
Though the sky no shadow filings
Or that inner sense, still stranger,
OF un3pen-unutter'd things.
Is il-Oh, can no one tell me
No one show Sufficient cause,
Why our hEiugs--and dislikJngs-
Have their own instructive laws!

SONG OF THE SOUTH.
By A MIssIssIPPihN.

For our Country, for the Union,
Which our noble faihers made,
Free aud sovereign States United,
We are ready, heart aud blade,
To battle till our bodies
Are pulseless, stiff and cold
For we love The good old Union.
As that Union tcds Of old
We have read and we remember
How together once they stood,
And Northern hills aud Southern plains
Were crimsoned with their blood,
With the stars aud stripes above them,
Aud a Southern al their head,
How they fought and how they struggled
Till the naughty Briton fled.
There is much 10 warm our bosom,
There IS much TO Iaise our pride,
As we gaze upon that banner
Under which they bed and died;
Aud in safety, faith and honor,
For our past and future fame,
We would live and die united,
Now aud ever, still the same.
But by God, who rules the nations,
BY the blood our fathers poured,
As band of equal brothers,
OF the proud invaders sword;
By our one and common glory,
OF the present aud the past,
When that Uuion brings oppresslon,
Well resist ii to the last
Ave: whenever and wherever
Brute. tyranic force be nsedi
When The bond of love that bound US
Shall be cancelled and abused,
To insult, and grind, and crush US,
In defiance Of our right;
We will stand upon our thresholds,
We will parry, are lC'lt sm'ie.
If coward be among us
Ii a slave, with Saxon face,
Lei him fly. Southron branded
With submission and disgrace.
We will scorn all iimid conusels,
We will laugh at bastard fears;
Aud the Union, rhich our fathers mGtle,
May last thousand years.

A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE.

he man who stands upon his own soil,
who feels that by the laws of the land in
Which ne lives-by the laws of civilized
hatIons-he is the rightful and exclusive
owner OF the land which he tils, is BY the
constitution OF our nature under whole
some influence not easily inbibed from any
other source. He ieels-other tbinos be-
ing equal-more strongly than another, the
character OF man is the lord of an inani-
mate world. Of this great and Wonderful
sphere, which fashioned by the hand of
God, and unhelped by his power, is rolling
through the heavens, part is his-his from
the centre Of the sky. 1t is the space on
which the generation before him moved in
ITS round Of duties, and he feels himself
connected by visible link with those who
follow him, and TO whom he is TO transmit
home. Perhaps his farm mas come down
to him from his fathers. They have gone to
their last home but he can trace their foot
steps over the scenes OF his daily labors.-
The roof which shelters was reared by those
to whom he owes his being. Some inter-
esilng domestic tradition is connected with
every inciosure. The favorite fruit tree
was planted by his fathers hand. He spor-
| ted IN boyhood beside the brook which still
winds through the meadow. Through the
field lies the path to the village school of
earlier days. He still hears from his Win
dow the voice Of the sabbath bell, which
called his fathers to the house of God !;
and near at hand is the spot where his pa
rents laid down to rest, and where, when
his time has come, he shall be laid by his
children. These are the feelings of the
owners of the soil. Words cannot paint
them-gold cannot buy them they flow
out Of the deepest fountains of the heart
they are life springs Of fresh healthy and
generous national chafacter.-Edw.Evretf

he was not fiji TO carry swill 10 the hogs

lime having arrived, H arose, aud ad-
dressed his brethren, as follows
"Aly Christian friends, do feel that have
deeply injured brother M, for which [
am heartily sorry. I did say he was not fit
10 carry swill 10 the hogs; and now take il

The improvement of the cultivation Of

mentioned as the latest specimen of artistic

Yet that silly circumstance, like drop OF
ink diScoloring a whole vessel of water,
often spreads its influence over the whole
of it. Just as,
"A pebble in the stream lei acant,
Ha turned the course of many river
A dcw-drop on the baby plant
Has warped the giant oak forever"
I find an exceedingly painful il!ustra-
tion Of these ideas in an English publication,
for the truth of which the author pledges
his word.
A young couple had passed the first
week of their marriage at the house of
friend. Having at length occupied their
new home, they were taking their first
breakfast when the following scene oc-
Cured:
The young husband was innocently OPEN
ing boiled egg in an egg cup. The bride
observed that he was breaking the shell at
what she thought was the wrong eEd.-
"How strange it looks" she said, 'to see
you break your egg at the small end, my
dear! No one else does so and it looks
/ so odd"
"Oh, think it's quite as good, in fact,
better than breaking it at the large end, my
love for when you break the large end,
the egg runs over the top" replied the hus-
band.
'But it looks so very odd, when no one
else does so," rejoined the wife.
"Well, now, really do think it is not
ID nice way that you have got of eating an
egg. That dipping strips of bread and but
ter into an egg certainly is not tidy. But
do not object 10 your doing as you please
if you will let me break my egg at the lit
tie end, retorted the husband.
81 am quite sure my way is not SO bac
as eating fruit-pie with a knife, as you do
instead of using the fork and you alway
eat up the syrup as if you were not accus
toned to have such things. You really dt
not see how very bad it looks, or | am sur
you woGd not do So" added the wife,
"The syrup is made to be eaten With pie
and why should send It away IN tn
f plate :" asked the husband.
"No well-hred persons clear the plate
as if they were starved,Y said the bride
. with contemptuous toss of her littl
head.
"WelT, then, / am not well bred PEE
' son." replied the bridegroom angrily.
"But you must be, if we are TO BE- con
J Portable together" was the sharp answer
the fastldlous lady.
"Well, | must break my egg at II
d small end, SO it does not signify and
y, must also eat the syrup"
Mt SThen I will not have either fruit-pl
or eggs at the table,"
'But I will have them,S petulantly e
" claimed the husband.
"Then | wish had not been married
IS, you," cried the young wife, bursting IN
tears.
"And so do T." added the row incens
q husband, as he arose and walked out Of I
:" room.
This domestic quarrel was followed
others equally trifiing in their origin a
disgraceiul in their character; until t
= silly couple made themselves so disagret
- bic to each other that their home becal
unendurable, and they separated.
Now, / doubt not, the reader is rea
IN to pronounce this quarrel about opening
egg, foolish affair. II was SO and ye
seriously question II the first quarrel
