PerSeVere,
BY C. N. PIN F.

Young men, toilng on obscurely
Struggling 'gainst an adverse tide,
With high and honest purpose
Which the hooking world deride:
Faint not, ear not. brave the current,
Face the Storm however rude,
Truth will triumph, thou wilt conquer
God will meier forsake the good.
Do the proud deride thy alling,
Mock thy efforts at the start,
With scofing GOODNESS, CALLING
To lhy proud and honest heart?
Persevere attain station
With The gifted and the great
Those VIII" now Scorn thy vocation,
Then will gladly on thee wait.
Hast thou felt the breath Of SANDER,
And the sneering, and the fr"wn,
From the serpent soul OF envy,
That would keep the worth, down?
Persrsere! with manly patience.
Time will heal the wnuno you feel;
From thy name such lainl may vanish,
AS the breath from FURNISHED steel.
For encouraging example,
Scan the names on Historv's page
Those who must their race have hunored.
Giving glory TO their age:
Names of Newton and ut Franklin,
And a Thousand more as Bright
Names that gain increasing glory
With the worlds inc, easing light.
Perseverel unceasing effort,
Humble though ant weak it be,
May o'ercome whaIe'e, opposes,
And work miracles for thee.
Be assured reward will toll"w,
Gold will come to him who delves,
Honest industry must prosper

REV. FREDERICK BUEL.

A correspondent of the New York
Observer, writing from San Francisco,
says
We want more laborers in the field.
Send us dozen good and faithful men
like the devoted agent of the American
Bible Society, the Rev Mr. Buel. whose
whole soul is wrapped up in his work of
Bible distribution, visiting the sick and
dying, preaching the Word to those who
are needy and d octitute, and aiding Chris
tians in the extension of Christ's kingdom
in this new and wide field.
Rev. Mr.. Buel has purchased site
for Bible depository, and has already
erected building thereon, having sue
ceeded in raising the sum of taoel0e hun
bred dollars, for The furtherance of the
Bible cause in our city. He has rented
out portions of the building, so that he
gets his own reHt free. He has secured
a small sign in Chinese characters, that
the numerous China men residing here,
may find "true account of the life of
Jesus" in their own language.

A VILLAGE PREss.-Perhaps no one
establishment is of more advantage to Il
community than that of newspaper press.
A newspaper in "a village advances the
interest of all trades, professions and
callings, by drawing to its vicinity much
business that would otherwise be diver
ted INTO other channels; and by giving
prominence and noterlety abroad, to the
business capabilities and other advanta-
ges of such village. The press is, as it
were, the special counsel Of the citizens
of the town wherein it is located-plead
ing in many cases without fee or reward ;
and in some instances conveying ligh'
md heat to establishments which might
otherwise drag their slow length along
in utter obscurity. . ....-

A CASE WITHOUT A PARALLEL.--The
English Court records frequently exhibit
human nature in a most wicked aspect.
The following is case almost without a
parallel - ......
Elizabeth Bubb, was convicted Of the
murder of Maria Hook, her neice. by
withholding from her necessary food and
clothing. Richard Hook. the father, a
man Of substance, losing his wife, took
his sister, the said Elizabeth. to be his
house>keeper. She had children of her
own. and soon becoming mistress of the
family, she began to neglect and shocks
ingIy mal,reat the three children of Hook
by her sister, of whom Maria was the
youngest. This little girl being only
four years old, on account of her tender
age of course suffered the most, and if
there was any distinction was the most
misused. she was kept almost naked
was left covered with filth-was scarcely
allowed morse! of food-was whipped
most numerically for crying for bread-
was suffered to lie by the roadside un-
heeded--was reduced to skeleton, and
made half idio'c by hard usage. and
finally died in Commissions. That girl
when dead, weighed only six pounds.
which is less than the ordinary weight Of
an infant at birth! Not the least re-
markable feature Of this case was, that
the whole neighborhood were virtually
accomplces Of this slow internal murder.
They all knew what was in progress, and
yet raised not hand to prevent it,
Neither the clergyman of the parish. nor
the relieving officer, nor the parochial
authorities, nor single neiyhbor, inter-
posed between the child and the consnm-
alton OF her long agony. On the trial.
Elizabeth Bubb, the housekeeper. was
found guilty ana sentenced to transpor>
Lation for life; and Richard Hook, the
father, it being proved that he was from
nome much of the time, was acquitted.

As the Constitutional Convention SoloEs

inyite'the Convention to adjourn to Raven

which we believe superior TO any which
can be presented by other cities.
Imprimis. The Convention shall have
the free gratis-for-nothing use OF the old
Brick School House, in which to hold their
adebaies. 1t is thought the school house
will be admirably adapted to the purpose,
having heretofore been set apart fer the
uses OF debating society.
The Delega'es shall have the freedom OF

bobs and slnkers, 10 the edi6cation Of SUM-

can dive into the feeder-and will agree
that they shall not be sucked an by the
hosting of the saw mill gate, nor shall
King Log, the tutelar deity Of the saw
mill feeder, interfere with their diversions.
Our Rail Road is Fastening TO compile
ZION. and if the Delegates will remain un-
ill October, (and their interesting school
house debates cannot possibly close before
that period) we will agree TO give them
ride on the Locomoive-meantme one
hundred and eight Paddles, each with his
coach. shall be engaged to give the solons
daily ride from Sleepy Hollow to The
Break-neck. To make this Constitutional
Convention airing safe as well as agreea-
BILE, the several Supervisors pledge them
selves 10 keep the streets in good order.
and have all The large gravel stones remo-
ved-and the school teachers unanimously
agree that small school children shall not
laugh at the Delegates. -s
AS i, is perceived that board is matter
of much interest with the Delegetesin their
contemplated removal to the Reserve, we
will state, that Phelps agrees to slaughter
three bulocks daily, and the Hotel keepers
agree 10 serve up the same at three fourths
per cent. below the usual rates.
In order 10 secure prompt, accurate and
voluminous reports Of debates. the printers
of Ravenna have agreed 10 charter an ex.
