Looking for a Place.

" Wcll, johnny, have you succeeded

Nothing good, to-day, mother |
have been all over town almost, and no
ore would take me The bookstores and
dry good stores and groceries have plenty
Of boys alrcady-but l think if you had
been with me [ should have stood better
chance.
"Oh you look so thin and pale, mother,
somebody would have felt sorry, and so
taken me-but nobody knew me, and no
body saw you"
A tear stole down the cheek of the little
boy as he spoke, for be was almost dis
couraged, and when his mother saw the
tear, not a few ran down hers also.
1t was cold bleak night, and Johnny
had been out all day looking for " place" !"
He had persevered, althoug Oh constantly re-
fused, until it was quite dark, and then
gave up, thinking that his mother must be
tired waiting fot him.
His mother was a widow, and very
poor one She had maintained herself by
needle wo,k ill severe spell of sickness
I'd confined her to her bed, and she was

Yes"
ooh, sir, I didn't know they sold rum
there when | first went in, and when ] saw
what kind of 4 store it was, was afraid. "
" Have you father :"
"No, sir; father is dead" said the
little boy, hanging down his head.
What did your father do, my son
what was his business -
I" Sir, he once kept a store like that"
and the child shuddered when he an
swered
"Why did you not keep the piece of
gold money that you found on the floor as
you was coming into the store :"
"Because " it was not mine, and l
thought that the gentleman would find the
owner sooner than 1 should"
"Hc did my boy it was my money.

than this. The whole work comprises four
hundred and thirty-five plates, containing
more than one thousand figures In his
62d year he commenced another series OF
rambles with view of making himself as
well acquainted with the quadrupeds Of
this country as he had done with the birds !;
and in due time, some volumes of the
"Quadrupeds Of America y in a style SIM

Audubon used to say that he had no faith
in genius; that man could make himself
what he pleased by labor, and, by using ev-
cry moment of time the mind might be kept
improving to the end Of life. "Look at
facts and trust for yourself; mediate and
reason" he would say, " it is thus that a
man should educate himself"

JONss gAl1za AUDUBON.

Among ornithologists probably no name
stands higher than that of JOHN JAMES
AUDUBON, of whom the above cut is an
accurate likeness. He was born in Lou
isiana, about the year 1872, and died in
the vicinity Of New York, on the 9th of
January, 1881, in the 69th year of his age
From his earliest youth he made the
winged songsters of the forest his study,
and devoted his whole life to obtaining in
formation respecting their habits &c.
Shortly after he entered upon his six
teenth year, he commenced a collection of
drawings, which have since swelled into a
series of volumes, called the "Birds of
America" A greater and more valuable
work was, probably, never contributed to
science by the labors of a single individual

Johnny went home with his heart and
his eyes so full that he could hardly see
the street or any thing else as he went
along. He knew that it would cheer his
dear mother very much, and so it did.
His superintendent procured good place
for him, and they were made comfortable
and happy.
Surely this tale carries its own moral.

would rather share such fire and such a
supper with such mother, than sit at the
best filled table with any body else, who
did not love him as she did, and whom he
did not love as he did her.
After few moments of silence, the boy
looking up to his mothers face with more
than usual seriousness, said,
" Mother, do you think it would be
wrong to ask my new Sunday School teach
er about it on Sunday 20
" No, my son, not if you have no other

After reading portion of Gods holy
word, the mother and her little boy kneel-
ed down together in their loneliness, and
prayed the Lord most earnestly to take
care Of them. They were very poor, but
they knew that God cared for the poor.
They also knew that God would do what
was best for them. Oh, it's a sweet thing

The mothers heart was full to over

affectionatc kiss, which was sweeter to him
than words
Next morning was Sunday. Johns
breakfast was more scanty than ever, but
he said not word about that, for he saw
that his mother ate very little of it. But
one or two sticks of wood were left out
side the door where it was kept, and he
knew that both food ard fire mi ght all be
gone before night They had no money
to tuy any with for several days.
The Sunday School bell rang. The
sun was shining bright and clear, but the
air was exceeding cold. The child had
no overcoat, and was still wearing a part
of his summer clothing. He was in his
seat just as his superintendent and his
teacher entered
"Who is that little pale-faced boy in
your class - asked the superintendent of
the teacher
"His name is Jones-he lives in Stone
street, and | must visit him this very week.

81 should like to know more about him,
and will see him after school,"
The superintendent did not forget him,
and when the class broke up, seeing him
linger behind the other scholars, went up
and took him by the hand kindly.
You have been here to school several
Sundays, have you not, my boy"
" Yes, sir, l came just a month ago,

What a WING Governor has Done

Some of the whig papers are sure the people
will vote for Gov. Johnston because, say they,
"two months after his induction into Office he
paid the interest of the public debt promptly,
without resorting to the Locofoco expedient of
a loan" Smart man, that Governor, to do so
much for the "dear people" But by the by,
what in the meantime, if he paid the State in
debtedness, became of the money distracted
from the peoples pockets in the shape of taxcss
We always thought that item was some in the
count when the State Treasurer was making up
his money bags to pay the annual interest on
the State debt, but according to whig logic it was
"no where" Smart man, we say again, is our
worthy Goyernor.-Thus speaketh the Erie OBJ
