William Penn.

The motto adopted for the block of
granite contributed by Pennsylvania to
The Washington Monument, is "Pennsyl-
vania, founded by deeds Of peace" The
inscription caused some debate in he Sen
ate Of that S ate, and Mr. Muhlenburg,
who thought it 500 Quakerish," said that
he considered the history of Penn and
his followers as diSgraceiul, rather than
honorable,t 10 the pride of the State. They
had been guilty Of fraud upon the Indians,
and had not met them openly, sword in
hand, as did the brave settlers in New
England. A member who defended the
memory Of Penn, said in rep'y-''lf
Penn did cheat the Indians, as he had no
doub, he did, be still did il in peaceful

and Burke. were each the youngest child
of their respective families. Daniel Web
ster is the Youngest by asecond marriage;
so also was Lord Bacon whose father was
fifty, and his mother thir,y-two years OF
age, at his birth. Renjamin West was
the tenth child of his parents: and Mr..
Odd fridge was the lwennsth child OF one
father and mother. 1t is proverb that
sihe Youngest children are The smartest."

are mature to mind and body, and subse-

How Love became Blind.

BY FREDERIC RowroN.
Little Cupid was sitting one day with his Ma,
Putting tips to his arrows, and proving his
bow;
For he meant, the next day, if allowed by his
Pa,
On toxopholi;ical ramblc to 60
"Namma, what's that spot on your beautiful
check =
He exclaimed-as he paused for moment to
gaze:-
"Ti. fleckle, I vow,-faith, Old Sol, in
pique.
Ha. scorched YOU with one Of his envious
rays! -
Now, i. happend that Venus was going that
night,
To meet-wen, n.edn', say whom-for a
stroll,
And wishing to look more than commonly
bright,
Was ANNOYED at the spot, from the depths of
her soul:
And she cried in a rase--"Well. ifever heard
Such an impudent child Its parcel of
Iies'i
You shall fnd fault no more, thought give
you my word
And she threw whole handful OF dust In
his eyes
Inflammation ensued there were leeches ap-
piled,
Cold water, collyriums. poultices too;
But though all the means they could think OF
were tried,
The OPTICS grew worse, and the oculists blue.
In week so inf lmed was each delicate ball,
That evry hope of his sight was resigned;
In month he could scarcely distinguished at
all,
And now the poor fellow is totally blind.
To amuse him they still let him play with his
Bow
Though It's worse for the world believe
may say
For, as he can't aim where his AFRO VS. shall go,
Why, he shoots them at random-to fall
where they may
And the consequence is, that these random
shots darts,
Are the causes of pain, though intended for
good:
They az. sure to alight on the tcrong peoples
hearts,
They fall ,ossre they Shouldn't and NOT where
they should.

POET R Y.


The sunlight hath a shadow,
And the starlight hath shade:
There's no type in art like naturs.
But an antitype hath made.
The sky may all be azure. as
With its canopy serene,
But cloud will come unbidden.
On the glory of the scene. t
The moon may be of silver.
And the stars of golden light;
But speck will dim their beauty.
In the quiet, holy night;
And our lives are changing ever
Like the spring time of the year;
Sometimes all is April sunshine,
Then again it's dark and drear.
We have our dreams of pleasure,
And our moments fraught with pain;
The day may dawn all lovely,
Then put on its gloom again.
We have our dreams Of rapture
Ours bliss none else may feel.
But the mournful hue of sorrow.
Ger the highest brow will steal
We have our dreams of gladness-
We have waking dreams of care;
There are hours of kindly greetings,
Then again no JOY to share.
Sometimes life is all sunshine,
Sometimes all gloomy shade;
There's no type in art like nature,
But an antitype hath made.
We have thoughts that soar far upward,
In the freeborn glorious air;
We have spirits light as fancies,
Te commune with angels there.
Sometime tides of bitter feelings,
Ger the inmost spirit roll.
Then again some wave of rapture,
Breaks across the Swallowed soul.
When the heart is freest, Eghtest,
Like bird on summers wing
When the spirit basks in sladness,
Then it will with sadness sing;
When upon the brow Of summer,
Angry storms and tempests rise,
Then anon unfolds the rainbow,
And appear the smiling skies.
