A good Joke.

The following doggeral has been written
on the event of hauling up from the river, IN
Carrolton, Illinois, to the different dram shops
II that place two barrels of whiskey, which
the shopkeepers would not claim. They are
supposed to belong to Carrollton, Missouri
They were tipped into the street and there
left, and there they still lie. Here follows tht
poetry, aparody on "BIue-eyed Mary"
Come tell me, whiskey barrel
Say whittier dost thou roam,
That thou hast come to Carroll,
With neither friends, nor home2
They call me "Red-eyed RUM"
see Pye lost my way;
The '.Sons' are my undoing, -
Since they have got the sway.
Will no one have compassion,
And grant me shelter here!
No, thou art out of fashion,
And hast no friends to cheer.
Into the street we'll cast thee,
Although thou hast been King,
Zen thy last friends desert thee
Condemned accursed thing.

The Truest Voice.
BY FRANcIs BROWN.

BY FRANCIS BROWN.
Voice Of the Morning! sweetlySwild
As The tameless tones of forest child;
Breaking from rocks onsthe mountain steep,
Waking the wilds of the woodland deep;
Calling the sun to his upward way,
And man to the hopes of another day.
Voice of the Twilight sad and low,
Signing where valley fountains flow
Breathing deep by the ruined towers,
Lingering late with the folding flowers,
Sitting the throb of the oceans breast
And hushing the weary world to rest,
Voice of the Midnight! deeply lone,
Filling the soul with thy solemn tone,
Calling up thoughts Iikethe troubled waves.
Waking the echoes of ancient graves,
Telling of hidden things that lie IS.
Far in the past eternity.
Voices Of Earth! We have many tones;
Where forests wave,or the ocean means,
There is no silenee-for deep and strong
Rolls on the tide of eternal-song,
Thro. Natures realms; but its hottest part
Is heard in the depths Of the human heart
Voice of the Absent ringing still.
Throl the spirits shade like hidden rill;
Pefehance but lonely stream of tears,
: Yet sweet with the breath Of our brighte
years; @ ~
For ever thy wandering wave flows on x
:. Thr0 the withered roses Of summer gone,
Voice of the Dead that returns. at times,
Like bird from. the far untrayeled climeS
Though sent in. the wintry hours of life,
!. And heard in the pause of the tempest
strife,
Yet breathing still Of those brighter skies
That shine where our land Of promise hes
Thou speak'st in. the love of long ago,
Te heartsw have laid their treasures loN
Oh! the whispersof living love may-changt
And its pleasant voices grow coldly strange
But the grave is true to our early trust
For the golden harp-strings cannot rust!

MISCELLANEOUS. NJ

The USEFUL AND THE BEAUTEUL--The
tomb of Moses is unkn0wn; but the traveller
slakes his thirst at the well of Jacob. The
gorgeous palace of the wisest of inonarehs,
with the cedar, and the gold, and IVORY, and
even the great temple of Jeruselam hallowed
bv the visible glory Of the Deity himself--are
gone; but Solomonss reservoirs are as perfect
as ever. Of the ancient architecture of the
Holy CITY, not one stone is left upon another;
but the pool of Bethesda acommands the pill
grim's reverence at the present day. The COL
umns of Persepois are moldering into dust;
! but its cistern and aquednets remain to chal-
| lenge our admiration. The golden house OF
| Nero-is mass. of ruins; but the Aqua Claudia
still -pours into Rome its limpid stream. The
! temple OF the sun at Tadmor in the wilderness
has fallen: but its fountain spark les as freshly
| in its .rays, as when thousands of worshipers
throuqed its lofty eolonades. 1t may be that
London will share the fate of Babylon, and

Good Breeding.

The following anecdoie is related by Mr..
Walkerin his amusing and instructive publi-
cation, sThe Original" as affording fine in
stance, of the value of good breeding or po-
liteness, even in circumstances where it could
not be expected to produce any personal ad-
vantage:
.Aa Euplishman making the grand tour to-
ward the middle of the last century, when
travellers were more objects of attention than
at present, on arriving at Turin sauntered out
to see the, place. He happened to meet areg-
iment of infantry returning from the parade,
and taking position to ssee it pass, young
captain evidently desirous to make display
before the stranger, in crossing one of the nu-
-merous water courses with which the city is
interested, missed bis footing, and in trying to
save himself, lost his hat. The exhibition was
truly unfortunate; the spectators laughed, and
looked at the sEnglishman, expecting him to
laugh too. On the contrary, he not only re-
tanned his composure, but promptly advanced
to where the hatshad rolled, and taking it up
presented it with an air Of unaffected kindness
to its owner. The officer received it with .
blush of surprise aid gratitude, and hurried tt
| reloir1 his company. There was murmur 0i
/ surprise, and thestranger passed on. Thougl
! the scene ola moment, and without q wore
spoken, it touched every beart--not with ad
miration for mere display OF politeRess, bu
with warmer feeling for proof Of that tru
charity @wbich never faileth." On the regi
ment being dismissed, the captain, who was
young man of consideration, in glowing terms
related the circumstance to his colonel. ,Th
colonel Immediately mentioned it to the geneE
al in command; and when the Englishman re
turned to the hotel, he found ah aid de-cam

The ALPINE HoRN.--We have heard
of..The Alpine Horn" but we never knew,
until very recently, that it was an instru-
uent made from the bark of cherry
tree, and that it was used like speak,
ing-trumpet. to convey sounds to a great
distance. sW hen the last rays Of the sun,
saws modern traveller .giid the summit
of the Alps, the shepherd who inhabitss
the highest peak of these mountains takes
his. horn and cries with loud voice:
Praised be the LordF--As soon as the
neighborfng shepherds hear him, they
leave their hnts;and repeat these words
4 The sounds are prolonged many minutes,
while the echoes of the mountain and
erottoes of the rocks repeat the name Of
1 God. Imagination cannot picture any
4 thing more solemn or sublime than such
a scene. Daring the silence that succeeds,
1.-THE shepherds bend their knees and pray in
