Within this album, Kate, Of thine,
Are written many verses,
And each, nay almost every line

But shall give lhee all Thy due

In these refined. enlightened days.

To write aught else Than fclsome praise
Or fail 10 feign passions
Yet shall venture 10 be plain.
And if you are offended,
shall moi sink o'erwhelmed with pam,
Nor wish my life were ended.
s.. having fixed these matters straight,
Preliminaries settled,
Zen though il may have been my fate
Your tenper to have nenlod,
/ will, in my unpublished way,
Sing out my rhyming gingle.
In which, though simple be the lay,
Some honest truths shall minsle.
How fair YOU may be does mol suii
NV purpose here 10 mention.
Your charms and graces to compute
is far from my inaenlion;
Yet this. in ehrnesl truth, I'll say,
Nor from The saving vary.
That thou II but child Of clay
No angel, b,yiPh. or fairy
Like oihcr children of the earth #

Aud blinded oft with error;
For gwen is every human heart

And better they perform their part
Who tread life path with meekness
This truth bear ever in thy MIND
'Tis one well worth possessing,
Which 10 the end thou', surely find
Will prove double blessing;
For it will teach thee what thou aEi.
How unio error given
With charity, subduE Thy heart,
A virtue born Of heaven.
To know myself is knowing u1ore
Than knew The thousand sages,.
Who. with their meiaphysic lore,

Nor deem each Hattering word and smile
As tributes 10 thy merit,
For they are often but a vile
For those who much inherit.

.Anecdote of the Horse,

There is story told OF famous
trotter belonging to a butcher,
which attracted the attention ot a
gentleman by its splendid action,
and was bought by him at a very
high price. But no long time elaps-
ed before the purchaser came to the
conclusion that he had been taken
in; the horse was decidedly a dull,
lazy brute, it was all over with his
fine trolliug; and the butcher who
sold him, was no doubt aware that
the animal labored under some un-
soundness that destroyed his former
high qualities. The gentleman took
the horse 10 its former owner, and
Indignantly denounced the fraud
that had been practiced upon him.
The butcher listened in silence to
the stormy harangue, and then turn
ing TO one of his men, who was
leaving the shop with tray Of meat
on his shoulder, he said to him,
"hcre, Dick, jump up just as you
are and see il tue horse can't trot a
-bit.n
The man did so, and off lie start
ed the horse in the very best style.
The gentleman was amazed and
confounded; II can never make him
go like tha att he said.
Chat 5 a pity, SIR replied the
butcher; Syou see it S not his fault;
But I'll tell you what it ls-you Just
please TO mount, and let me put a
tray of meat on the saddle before
you, and then l'll warrant you'll
say he goes fast"

WATER DR1NKNG-Prof. Silliman closed a
recent Smithsonian lecture in Washington, by
giving the following sensible advice to young
men:
eff, therefore, you wish for clear mind strong
muscles and quiet nerves, and long life and pow
er prolonged into old age permit me to say, al
though am not giving temperance lecture, a.
void all drinks but water, and mild infusions of
that fluid; shun tobacco and opium, and every
thing else that disturbs the moral state of the
system; rely upon nutritious food and mild di-
lucnt drinks Of which water is the basis, and you
will need nothing beyond these things except
rest, and due moral regulation of all your pow
ers, to give you long, happy and useful lives, and
a serene evening at the close"

FOOTSTEPS OF ANGELS.
BY II. w. LONGFELLow.

When the hours of day are numbered
And the voices of the night
Wake the better soul that slnmbercd,
To q holy, calm delight.
Ere the evening lamps are lighted,
And, like phantoms grim and tall,
Shadows from the ftful freight,
Dance upon the parlor wall;
Then the forms of the departed
Enter at the open door;
The beloved ones, the true-heartcd,
Come to visit me once more;
He, the young and strong, who cherished
Noble longings for the strife,-
BY the roadside fell and perished,
Weary with the march of life
They the holy ones and weakly,
Who the cross of suffering bOre,-
Folded their pale hands so meekly,-
Spake with us on earth no more!
And with them the Being Beauteous,
Who unto my youth was given,
More than all things else to love me,
And is now saint in heaven,
With q slow and noiseless footstep,
Comes that messenger divine,
Takes the vacant chair beside me,
Lays her gentle hand in mine.
And she sits and gazes mt me,
With those deep and tender eyes,
Like the stars, so still and saintlike,
Looking downward from the skies.
Uttered not, yet comprehended,
Is the spirits voicelcss prayer,
Soft rebukes, in blessings ended,
Breathing from her lips of air.
o, though all depressed and lonely,
All my fears are laid aside,
If but remember only,
Such as these have lived and died

He WEARS WELL.-A well known citizen
called on us yesterday to express to US in per-
son the qualification he felt at the nomination of
Frank Pierce. He lived he says some five years
with Gen. Pierce's father and has often worked
side by side with Frank in the harvest field even
after he had been admitted to the bar If ma
ture has any noblemen he maintains that Gen.
Pierce is among the foremost of them. He is
one of the people--frank, open hearted, access
ible to all. He is therefore personally very pop
ular
We have yet to meet the first man from N.
Hampshire, and we have seen and conversed
with numbers since the nomination of General
Pierce, Wings and Democrats who does not
speak in the highest terms of the man. He is
one whose heart beats responsive to every gen.
erous, manly impulse, emphatically one of the
people. Gin. Enquirer.

Coop MANNERs.-There can be no general
rule for good manners that supply the use ofin-
dividual judgment in their application. A gen.
eral rule may, in special cases, require to be re-
versed. The same conduct that is acceptable in
one condition of mind becomes offensive in an
other and what will please stranger is often
nuisance to member of the family. Atten-
ton in the one case has welcome appearance
of kindness and hospitality; in the other, it is
troublesome and unwecome officiousness. A
good-natured man will bear more familiarity
than reserved and unsocial one. A thick-skin-
ned man will endure ruder habits than thin
skinned one; and the ruder habits will seem
pleasanter to him than the favorite habits of his
more sensitive counterpart A well-mannered
man will find out all this with an imperceptible
glance of his eye, for he can see without staring
and will act accordingly, accommodating himself
to the temperament of his companion, and if his
companion be equally well hammered and ac-
commodating, they understand one another i'm
mediately.

JERUSALEM AS SEEN AT SUNsET.-We gener-
ally resorted to the city as the sun declined.-
Solemn, sepulchral, is the character ever i'm
pressed upon his mind. Here is a city, still TO
the eye extensive and populous, but no voices
arise from its wide area and the hills and valleys
round. The evening breeze rustles among it's
hoary tress, sweeping sadly the break to sky
surface of the ground. The red light glances
over the city, touching its domes and minarets
with last dying CLEAN, and the dreary hills are
broken into grand masses purple and vermill-
ion, while the glen below where sleep millions
OF the sons of Israel, and the sad groves which
shrouded the agony of Christ, are sinking into
shades of night.
Such is the hour to view Jerusalem. alone
seated under some ancient trees, memorable of
her past burden and guilt Then looking east
ward over the fair horizon of Moab and the des-
ert, glowing in the suns last rays, completed the
indelible impression of scene, that, for its as
sociation, is unequalled in the world Our sur
vey of Olivet would be incomplete without Wis.,
iting Bethany to which Jesus so often retired to
visit the hospitable family ofLazarus. The path
continues from the crest of Olivet, and as we
loose sight of Jerusalem, present us with sue
cession of pleasing landscapes.
The approach is through the open cornfeld;
the white roofs Of the sequestered village are
seen among groves of olives, which mark nearly
the extremity of civilization, before we reach the
solitudes of the desert. There are on the right,
the remains of the building of the middle ages,
and on the bleak hill beyond, the more extensive
ruins of castle, are converts overlooking the
Dead Sea and the Moab mountains.
In the village is shown a tomb which tradition
has selected as that of Lazarus. The pilgrim
will linger about the pastoral spot, recalling the
walks through the corn-feds, where Jesuspluck-
ed the ears of corn by the way side, or imagin-
ing the sisters of Lazarus coming to meet and
conduct him to the tomb of his friend. Of all
the walks about Jerusalem, that over the Mount
ofOlives is the most picturesque in itself and the
most pleasing in its recollection.
