WINTER.

"The melancholy days are come,
The saddest of the year."
Thus sung the poet long ago,
In winters season drear
But winter with its yelling SHOWS
Is not so sad to see;
For though il has its stormy winds,
1t hath its charms for me.
Give me the cheerful fire at night,
The circle at its side;
The children's merry laugh and glee,
The fathers look of pride;
AS smiling with heart of love,
He looks upon us all,
And deems his home the happiest place
Upon this earthly ball.
And then there is that mother tooS
How snilingly she looks
Upon her children at their play,
Or busted at their books.
/ would not change that mothers smile
Beside our homely hearth
4. For all the warmth of summer skies,
Or all the pomps'of earth.
And when the storm is loud without
And fills the air with SHOWS,
Then there's the pleasant parlor fire
And chatting with the beaus;
Besides, the party and the ride
And holidays so dear
o, could well enjoy myself
With winter all the year.

SEARCH OUT THE PooR-WINTER is AT HAND.
They who have comfortable homes, with the
pecuniary means to crafty their desires can con-
template without single sigh, the delight of
the iresde and the gaiety attendant upon the
proxmate season. The ball, the hop, the So
cial party are to be enjoyed; places of amuse-
ment to be literally patronized; and thousands
Of dollars expended for entertainments which
frequently confer no substantial good. But
while much gold and silver will be thus scat
tered, there will, as heretofore, be indescribable
suffering among the extremely poor-thc house
less, the hungry, the naked, the helpless-whose
hearts can be made to rejoice only by the gen.
tie influence of charity, or love,-its true signi-
fication.
Amid worldly selfshness, it is a pleasing re-
fection that there are persons interested in the
good work Of relieving the distressed. But
the laborers are few and the field extensive
"Be ye fed and be we clothed" will not suffice
therefore, in view of winter and all its rigors,
it is reasonable to suppose that the benevolent
will at once redouble their zeal, and prepare the
means indispensable to act more efficiently than
ever, in their heaven-bessed and heaven requi-
red work.

BALLOON EXCURSION BY MooNLIGHT-A re-
cent Paris paper gives an entertaining log-b book
OF an aerial voyage recently performed by nj.
Eugene GODDARD and half dozen companions,
on brilliant moon light night, M. GODDARD was
endeavorlng to demonstrate his ability to steer
the atmospheric ship rs conveniently as one RI
ding on the water, and appears to have sue
ceeded to a charm. He passed from one point
OF Paris and its environs to another, picking
up his passengers, and stated, when he finally
arose, to what points in the department he pro-
posed to travel, and fulfilled his promises with
wonderful exactness. When passing over Gil
chy, at an immense height, the scene is described
as one of fairy-lke beauty. The moon was
on the horizon, the heavens entirely free from
cloud or vapor, glittered with stars; and below,
the different streets and bouevards of Paris
were distinctly portrayed in long lines of light
At those gonglia of the city, the Place de Ia
Concorde, the Paais National, &C., the effect of
the gas lamps was to produce an atmosphere
dazzlingly phosphorescent and perfectly magi-
cal in its intense coloring; and the elevated
towers of Notre Dame, the columns and domes,
stood out in dark relief from the glaring ground.
After voyaging for some hours, the balloon de-
scended at Garges, and the party travelled costly
and safely upon terra frma back to the city.

NEW TOMB FOR HoRsE.-A Partisan pen
proposes the following English event for histo-
ry:- w. iG94 ...lrteE
At the recent races at Ascot, the famous horse
Tiberius broke his leg by bounding against one
of the posts of the barrier while preparing for
the race. His owner, Lord Milbank, lost ten
thousand pounds in bets upon him, beside his
value; and others lost heaviy-the law of the
course being that all lost bets shall be paid.

Three days afterward, Lord Milbahk gave
very sumptuous dinner The most distinguish
ed of the English Peerage was present, and the
conviviality ran high. Toward the close the no.
BILE host arose in his place. and proposed to drink
to the departed Tiberius. 1t was clamorously
received, but the speaker remained standing with
his glass in his hand.
"We drink to Tiberius," said Lord Milbank,
when the shouts subsided, "the most beautiful,
the most admirable, the most spirited courser
whose hoofs ever trod British turf" d
Shouts again rose to the roof a of
"You know" continued his Lordship, the A.
chievements Of this horse His deeds belong to
history. Fame has taken charge of his glory.
But it belonged to me-and to you, my lords

have burial worthy of his deservings. He has
it. My cook has fifty prepared him, and you

gentlemen! this meat which you have relished
so keenly-these dishes which awakened such
inquiry as to what animal could be so delicious
it was Tiberius. My noble courser reposes in
your stomachs! May your digestions be light !
At these words, the enthusiasm concentrated

of an immediate resurrection-but, with sud-
den burst of hurrahs, the idea took the turn of
a subimity, and another flowing bumper sent to

GRAND HAVEN, MICHIGAN WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER TO- 1851

An old hen, who had been scratching gravel
at little distance declared that she "never knew
what music was before"
An innocent little lamb, who loved the night
ingale, cried bah" but the ass pricked up his
ears and shouted, "turn him out! in such STEM
torian voice, that the poor young thing was
frighted half to death.
"Order, order" said the COW.
Order being obtained, gush of melody burst
from the throat of the nightingale, which instant
ly hushed every other sound. Sometimes it
melted into plaintive sweetness, and sometimes,
burst forth like an impulse of love but the pre-
vailing character was tenderness and melan-
choly, so inexpressibly sweet and touching, that
after it had died away, deep silence hung over
the crowd as if every one were waiting and
wishing for it to commence again. The applause
which ensued manifested clearly the triumph of
the rose and nightingale. The geese, who had
been asleep, each on one leg, with his head be-
hind his wing, were awakened by the GLAMOUR
and scudded across the road, after having assent
ed to the ass, who, before he trotted of, shook
his ears with wise look, and said:
1t is really astonishing how the public allow
themselves to be led away"
CURIosITIEs OF WATER.-The Edinburg
Quarterly Rerie,o is the most able foreign Jour-
nal, scientifically devoted to reviewing works of
science, especially chemical works. From it
we select the following beautiful extract on
water:
Nor is the hailstone less soluble in earth
than in air. Placed under bell-glass with
twice its weight Of lime, it gradually melts and
disappears; and there remain four parts instead
Of three, of perfectly dry earth under the glass
Of plaster of Paris statue, weighing five
pounds, more than one good pound is solidiied
water. Even the precious opal is but mass
Of flint and water, combined in the proportion
Of nine grains of the earthly ingredient TO one
of the fluid. OF an acre of clay land a foot
deep, weighing about one thousand two hun
dred tons ut least four hundred tons are
water; and even Of the great mountain chains
with which the globe is ribbed, many millions Of
tons are water solidifed in earth.
Water, indeed, exists around us to an extent
under conditions which escape the notice OF
cursory observers. When dyers buy of the dry
salter one hundred pounds each Of alum, car
Donate of soda, and soap, he obtains, in ex-
change for his money, no less than forty-tive
pounds of water in the first lot ,sixty-four
pounds in the second, and variable quantity,
sometimes amounting to seventy-three and a
half pounds in the third. Even the transparent
air we breathe contains, in ordinary weather,
about five grains Of water diffused through each
cubic foot of its bulk, and this rarihed water no
more vets the air than the solidifed water vets
the lime or opal in which it is absorbed.

BEAUTIFUL SEYTnIENT.-The following ex-
tract is taken from Motifs saddress to young men,.
1t is a gem of surprising brillancy and beauty
II would frown on vice, would favor virtue
favor whatever would elevate, would exat,
would adorn character, and alleviate the miser-
les of my species, or contribute to render the
world inhabited, like the heavens to which |
looked, place of innocence and felicity. Tho
were to exist no longer than those cphemera
that sport in the beams of the summers morn,
| would rather soar with the eagle and leave
the record Of my flight and my fall among the
stars, than to creep the gutter with the reptile,
and bed my memory and my body together in
the dunghil However short my part would
act it well, that might surrender my existence
without disgrace and without compunction."
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher uses great plain
ness of speech" in aluding to the proneness of
the public to lavish large sums of money on
popular amusements. In recent lecture he
says:
"Men love to be taxed for their lusts; there
is an open exchequer for RIGHTEOUSNESS, and for
piddy pleasure. We grow suddenly saving,
when benevolence asks aims, or justice duns for
debts; we dole n pittance to suppliant creditors,
to be rid of their clamor. But LET the divine
FANNY, with evolutions extremely efficacious up
on the feelings, fire the enthusiasm of whole
Theatre of men, whose applause rise--as she
does let this courageous dancer, almost literal
ly true to nature, display her adventurous feats
before q thousand men, and the very miser will
turn spendthrift; the land which will not pay
its honest creditor, will enrich stroling dam
seuse, and rain down upon the stage stream
of golden boxes, or golen coin, wreaths and rosy
billet doux."

Buffoonery is the corruption Of wit as knave-
ry is of wisdom.
Add not trouble to the grief-worn heart
Affcctation is at best deformity.
Brave actions are the substance of life and
good sayings the ornament of it.
Better to suffer without cause than to have
cause for suffering.
To study men is more useful than to study
books.
Equity is tho bond Of human society.
None but fools believe in dreams.
