How THE BoY KNEW MS fArHER.-At a
Justice court IN the "Green Mountain State,
some years ago, the following incident oc-
Cured. IL was related to us by one Of the
Attorneys present on The occasion. Avery
ill-uatured, guanelsome person was con
cerued 10 a sl,eet brswl Que dark night and
got blow from somebody, which resulted
10 a"black eye" and sui for assault and
battery. In The course ol The trial son ol
the plaintiff was called 10 the witness stand
Ia regular "chip OF the old block" about
fourteen years OF age. The boy testified to
some knowledge Of the affray. bat couldn't
give many particulars, as the night was an
exceedingly darn one. "Now, SIR" said the
cross-exauining attorney, evil you venture
TO swear that your father was there at allF
Yes, sir know he was there
"But you say you didn't see him, nor hear
him speak-how then do you know he was
PRESENT.
"Why-TIl tell you. Just as I came out
OF the gate, heard Joe Smith lhs defend
ami holler out. There goes the old devil
aud knel0 he meant dad"

love the banging hammer,
The whirring OF the plane
The crashing Of the busy saw,
The creaking Of the crane,
The ringing of the anvil,
The grating of the drill;
The clattering of the turning lathe.
The whirling Of the mill,
The buzzing of the spindle.
The rattling of the loom,
The putting ofrhe engine,
And the fans continuous boom
The clipping of the tailor's shears.
The driving of the awl,-
The sounds of BUSY LABOR,
love, love them all.
love the plowman's whistle,
The respers' cheerful song
The drover's oft repeated shout,
As he spurs his stock along
The hustle of the market man,
A. he HES him to the town;
The halloo, from the tree top
As the ripsned fruit comes down.
The busy sound Of threshers
AS they clean the ripened grain
And the huskers joke and mirth and glee
Meath the moonlight on the plain,
The kind voice of the dairynan,
The shepherds gentle call
These sounds of active industry,
/ love, love them all
For they tell my longing spirit,
OF the earnestness of life,
How much of all its happiness
Comes out of toll and strife,
Not that toll and strife that fainteth,
And murmureth all the way
Not the toll and strife that groaneth
Beneath the tyrant's sway;
Blu, the toll and strife that springeth
From a free and willing heart.
q strife which ever bringeth
To the striver all his part.
oh there is good in labor,
II we labor but Alright,
That gives vigor to the daytime
And sweeter sleep at night
A good that bringeth pleasure,
Even TO the toiling hours
For duty cheers the spirit
AS the dew revives the flowers.
oh say not that Jehovah
Bade us labor as Il doom,
No, it is his richest mercy,
And will scatter half life's gloom.
Then let us still be doing
Whate'er we find to do
What an earnest, willing spirit
And strong hand FREE ond True.

a single plant oy the heat Of the sun. The
heat in South Carolina, he says, is never SO
oppressive as in New York. The young
Tea plants from nuts planted on the 5th of
June last, and those from China, set out about
the same time, and most Of them still veiy
small, do not appear to have sustained the
slightest iojury, but are as fresh and green
without aoy covering or protection as they
were 10 September.

INTEREsrING lNcIDENT-We find the
following interesting local incident in the
New York Correspondence Of the Phadel-
phia Enquirer, and give it the benefit of our
circuation:
''Some fourteen years ago. MT. &. young
merchant of this city, who was possessed of
a handsome fortune, entered very largely in
to speculations in real estate, and became, as
was generally supposed. immensely wealthy.
A great revulsion in the business of the coun-
try happened, and Mr.. G.. suddenly became
a bankrupt. Mrs. c., upon the happening
Of this untoward event, Immediately retired
from the fashionable arena, reduced her per-
sonal and family expenditures to suit the al
teration in her pecuuiary circumstances -
At the time of the failure Of Mr.. G. in busi-
ness, it happened that Mrs. G.. was indebted
to messrs. A. Stewart & Co. for goods fur
nished her for her personal use. to the amt.
OF about two hundred dollars. This debt
she was for the time entirely unable to pay,
but the moral obligation TO discharge it was
not forgotten. Years rolled on, MT. G.. con-
tinued insolvent, the debt became barred by
the statute of limitations, the legal liability
to pay it was extinguished; twelve years had
elapsed, and the creditors considered the
amount as lost. The circumstances Of MI.
G. however, have for several years past been
gradually improving. and few days ago his
wife, finding herself once more able to pro-
cure the means, carefully calculated tho in
terest on her debt of twelve years standing,
added that to the principal, and enclosed the
whole In note addressed TO Stewart g. Co.
Messrs Stewart Il Co, upon the receipt of
the money. addressed note in reply to mrs.
G., in which they requested her acceptance
Of The accompanying gift, as a slight testi-
monial of their nigh appreciation OF an act
so honorable, and SO rare as to sall forth un.
qualified admiration. Accompanying The
letter was sent superb brocado silk dress.

Ben Fisher had finished his hard days
work,
And he sat at his cottage door
His good wife, Kate, sal by his side,
And the moonlight danced on the foor !
The moonlight danced on the cottage
floor,
Her beams were as clear and bright
As when he and Kate, twelve years before,
Talk'd love in her mellow light.
Ben Fisher had never pipe OF clay,
And never dram drank he
So he loved at home with his vile 10 stay,
And they chatted right merrily:.
RICH, merriIy chatted they on, ihe while
Her babe slept on her breast ;
While chubby rogue, with rosy smile,
On his fathers knee found rest.
Ben told her how fas, his potatoes grew,
And the corn in the lower field t;
And The wheat on the hill was grown TO
seed,
And promised glorious yield =
A glorious Weld in the harvest Time,
And his orchard was doing fair;
His sheep and his stock were In their prime,
His farm all in good repair
Kate said that her garden looked beautiful,
Her fowls and her calves were lat ;
That the butter that Tommy that morning
churned,
Would buv h m Sunday hat
That Jenny for Pa a new shirt had made,
And twas done loo by the rule
That Neddy the garden could nicely spade,
And Anna was ahead at school.
Ben slowly passed his toil-worn hand
Thro' his locks Of grey brown
"I tell you, Kate, what think" said he,
"We're The happest folks in town."
I know" said Kate, "that we all Work
hard
Work and health go together, Eve found
For there's Mrs. Bell does no, work at all,
And she's sick the whole year round.
"They're worth their thousands, so people
say,
But ne'er saw them happy yet :.
'Twould not be me that would take theil
gold,
And live in constant fret.
NV humble home has a light within,
Mrs Bells gold could not buy,
Six healthy children, merry heart,
And husbands love lit eye."
fancied tear was in Ben's eye,-
The moon shone brighter and clearer,
! could not tell why the man should cry,
But he hitched up 10 Kate still nearer ;
He lean'd his head on her shoulder there,
And took her hand in his
guess--(tho' l look'd at the moon jus
then,)
That he left on her lips kiss.
