The CAMP AND WORKSHOP.

The camp has had day of song;
e. The sword, the bayonet, the plume
Have crowded out of rhyme too long
The plough, the anvil, and the loom.
o, not upon our tented fields
Are freedoms heroes bred alone,
The training of the workshop yields
More heroes true than war has known.
Who drives the bolt, who shapes the steel,
May, with heart as valiant smite,
As he who sees foeman reel
In blood before his blow of might! -
The skill that conquers space and time,
That graces life, that lightens toll,
May spring from courage more sublime
Than that which makes a realm its spoil.
Let Labor, then look up and see ~
His craft no path of honor lacks;
The soldiers rife yet shall be H.
Less honored than the woodman's axe
Let art his own appointment prize,
Nor deem that gold for outward height
Can compensate the worth that lies
m In tastes that breathe their own delight.
r And may the time draw nearer still - ..,i--
When men this sacred truth shall heed,
That from the thought and from the will
Must all that raises man proceed tlg -.
Though pride should hold our calling low,
For US shall duty make it good:
And we from truth to truth shall 60

ONLY A ATklrLE-"That's right" said to my
friend Simpkins, the baker, as the sickly-looking
widow of Harry Watkins went out of his shop
door with loaf of bread, which he had given her
''that's right, Slmpkins am glad you are helping
the poor creature for she has had hard time of it
since Harry died, and her own health failed her"
"Hard enough, Sir, hard enough; and | am glad
to help her, though what give her don't cost
much-onIy trife, sir !"
SHOW often does she come z"
"Only three times a week. told her to come
otener, if she need to, but she says three loaves
are plenty for her and her little one, with what
she gets by sewing"
"And have you any more such customers, Simp-
kins z" 1 81, .ss-.-:j 3
Only two or three, sir"
"Only two or three? why, it must be quite a
tax upon your profits"
"Oh no, not so much as you suppose; altogether
it amounts to only trife."
could not but smile as my friend repeated
these words; but after left him, fell to thinking
how much good he is doing with ''only triae3'
He supplies three or four families with the bread
they eat from day to day; and though the actual
cost for year shows but small sum IN dollars
and cents, the benefit conferred Is by no means a
small one A sixpence to a man who has plenty
to aeat and drink, and wherewithal to be clothed,
is nothing but it is something to one on the verge
of starvation And we know not how much good
we are doing when we give "oniy tribe" to
good object.

We don't know who the author of the following
is-but whoever it may be, we think he sought to
have something done for him."
RUFUs CHoATE.-Rufus Choate is picture to
look at, and crowder to spout. He is about sev-
en- feet six, in his socks; supple as an eel, and
wirp as corkscrew. His face is compound of
wrinkles, 'yaller janders" and jurisprudence. He
has small, keen, piercing black eyes, and a head
shaped like mammoth goose egg, big end up;
his hair black and curly, much resembling bag
of wool in admirable disorder" or brush heap
in a gale of wind. His body has no particular
shape, and his wit and legal 'dodges" have set
many Judge in a snicker, and so confounded ju-
rors as to make it almost impossible for them to
speak plain English, or to tell the truth for the
rest of their natural lives. Rufus is great on
twisting and coiling himself up, squirming around
and prancing, jumping and kicking up the dust,
when steam's up. His oratory is first rate and his
arguments ingenious and forcible. He generally
makes ten strike-judge and jury down at the
end of every sentence. He Is great on 1owery
expressions and high -falootin "fubdubs." Strang-
ers mostly think he is crazy, and the rest scarcely
understand what it's about. He invoices his time
and elocution 1000 per cent over ordinary charges
for having ones self put through course OF law.
Rufus Choate is about so years of age, perhaps
over He is considered the ablest lawyer in New
England, or perhaps the United States. His hand
writing can't be deciphered without the aid of a
pair of compasses and quadrant. His autogra-
phy somewhat resembles the map of Ohio, and
looks like piece of Crayon sketching, done in the
dark with a three pronged fork. He has been IN
the Senate, and may be, if he has time to fish for
it, President of the United States.

% 1t is said that no sensation IS experienced,
SO far as motion is concerned, in rising from the
earth in a balloon. Mr.. Green, the famous Euro
pean aeronaut, demonstrated this fact beyond con-
tradiction. On one occasion, when he wished to
rise a little above dense crowd, In order to get
out of the extreme heat and pressure that sur
rounded his balloon, those who held the ropes, mis-
understanding his direction, let go entirely, and
the balloon instantly rose, while the aeronaut re-
manned calmly seated, wiping his forehead with
handkerchief, after the exertlons he had undergone
in preparing for the flight, and totally unconcious
of what had happened. He declares that he only
became aware of the circumstance, when, on
reaching considerable elevation, Ia few seconds
are often quite enough for that,) he heard the
shouts of the multitude becoming fainter and
