4 Special Deposit.

A fne healthy infant apparently some eight OF
ten days old, snugly slowed away in band-box
was found at the front door of worthy cashier d
one of our village banks, on Monday night between
nine and ten o'clock A deposit Of SO unusual a
nature, was of course looked upon with some de-
gree of surprise and distrust especially since it
was left SO long after banking hours. But few
words were, however, said on the occasion. The
treasure was received, and properly protected for
the night; but unwilling that stock so manifestly
below its pa value should remain long on his hands
the holder, with characteristic sagacity, promptly
negotiated for its transfer to certain benevolent
institution in this vicinity, without even charging
commission.
The following lines were found attached to the
clothes of this unfortunate little stranger, evident
II written in disguised hand -
Help me, poor little orphan. -.z-r
Lilly Y. La Mott.
Ye who in and plenty dwell,
Who feel no want, who know no care,
Let pity your soft bosoms swell,
And protect little orphan dear
ask not for the sumptuous meal,
Nor seek the gaudy robe to wear
But natures wants my appeal
Then help Gods poor creature dear.

namel Here man can exchange wealth for po-
verty; health for diseases and an untanished re.
putation for the drunkard's notoriety. Here he
can exchange the respect and esteem of acquaint,
ances for the boots and de rision of the rabblei
the pleasures of social intercourse for the compan

change the cheerful countenance, with the impress
of intellect, for the bloated face and unmeaning
stare; proud and manly bearing for the dunkard's
stagger; comfortable and respectable garments fot
those soed and torn; all that is pure, and lofty
and noble in humanity, for all that is foul and
groyelling and debased. He can exchange a

The hammer.

The following appropriate panegyrc on this prim-
tive instrument which the first invention in
mechanics, and perhaps also the 6Ts IN war, IS tak'
en- from the Scientific American:
The hammer is the universal emblem of mechan-
les With it alike are forged the sword of conten-
ton and the ploughshare of peaceful agriculture
the press of the free and the shackes of the brave
The eloquence of the forum has moved the armies
of Greece and Rome to thousand bloody battle
fields, but the eloquenae ofthe hammer has cover
ed those fields with victory or defeat The inspir-
alton of song has kindled high hopes and noble as
perations in the bosoms Of brave knights and gentle
DANES, but the inspiration of the hammer has
strewn the field with tattered helm and shield. de-
cided not only the fate of chvalric combat but the
fate of thrones crowns and Kingdoms. The forg+
ing of a thunder bolt was ascribed BY the Greeks
as the highest act of Jovcs omnipotence, and Their
mythology beautifully ascribes to one of their gods
the task Of presiding at the labors of the forge.
In ancient warfare the hammer was powerful
weapon, independent of the blade which II formed,
many stout scull was broken through the cap
and helmet by a blow of Vhlcan's weapon. The
armies of the crescent would have sGbdaed Europe
to the sway of Mahomet but on the plains of
France their progress was arrested, and the brave
and simple warrior who saved Christendom from
the SWAY of the Musselman was Martel-'the ham
rner" The hammer, the savior and bulwark OF
Christendom. The hammer is the wealth of ma
tions By It are forged the ponderous engine and
the tiny needie It is an instrument OF the savage
and the civilized. It's merry clinks point out the
