Gooseberry Bracelets.

A few Sabbaths ago, "lady gay enter

Invergordon, and not little disturbed the
serious mood, if she did not excite the envy,
of a group of fair ones in aneighboring pew,
by display Of something new and inter

so novel, SO beautiful and elegant did these
ornaments appear on the lady's wrist. that
the curiosity of the neighbors was intense
ly excited. What could they be? where
could she have got them? what might be
their valuc?-were questions thought, but
not spoken, and much less answered. The
attention of an elderly gentleman was also
ATTRACTED to the novelty, and it required all
his discriminating acumep, assisted by a
pair of specs (Which he wiped for the pWr-
pose). to discover what the bracelets were

Boyhood in America.

l throw down remark or two on an un-
occupied page, upon the character which
b'yhood is taking on among us, or rather
upon the new and extraordinary relations
which are arising in this country between
the young and the more advaaced in life
1t is without precedent in all history!--
There never was any shing quite equal to the
presumption of the young, or to the meek
ness and acqulescence of the elders in this
matter. Men advanced beyond the middle
of life, are called cold fogies" by their ju-
niors, and, as if this were not slang unfit for
the street, it is carried up into Congress, and
grave Legislators accept the title, and handy
1t about in their speeches as good jest
In society, and especially in our cities, peo-
pie are scarcely married and settled in life,
before they are regarded as on the "shady
side" of their day, and are treated accord
ingly, and by whom? Why. boys and girls
between the ages Of seventeen and twenty
one. l hear constant complaints of this, and
my reply is constantly the same; "If there
is not manly and woLaanly sense and au-
tholity enough among you to repress and
put down such folly, you ought to suffer-"
But this extraordinary Difference does not
stop here; it extends to noisy and imperti-
neat boys in the streets, in public places, at
railway stations, and wherever boys congre-
gate. The elders say, "This is free
country; what right have we to the street or
the station more than they? They may in
suit lis if we interfere; throw sticks or stones
at Us, and what can we do?" 1t is a fact :;
this language is used; l have often heard it.
With q view to satisfy my curiosity on this
point, and perhaps to feel the public pulse,
l have put the following question to half a
dozen gentlemen in one Of our cities, and
have inifor@:ly received the same answer ::
"lf, as youare going down town, you should
approach dozen boys playing on the side
walk, and obstructing it so THAT you could
not conveniently pass, which would you do
would you say" boys, you must not
gather here in this way and occupy the side
walk" Or would you get down off from the
sidewalk into the street, go round, and
come OIL to the walk again when you had
got by" and they all said, "We should 20
round" Now, if men choose to abdicatc all
the rights, all the proper authority of man.
hood, they can dc. so; but ! must say that |
know of no greater, or more gratuitous, or
more periIous mistake they could commit
Men can speak gently and firmly to boys
and be listened to. But if not. if every
thing is to yield and give way before the
needless rush of youthful mpertinence, this
will become, before many years, an intoler-
able country to live in
But the subject is too vast to be discussed
in a note. Our democratic Difference, in
some directions, is going great deal too far;
and our absorption in business is such,
fear, that we have no. time for many Of our
duties and least Of all foi cur domestic du-

From the Olive Branch,
THE GRAVE.
BY TISDLEY JOHNSON.


IT'S sad to think of the cold, cold tomb,
All shrowded in darkness and mantled in
gloom;
Where the low creeping worm, and the rep
tile dwell,
In the lonely depths of their earth bound CELL
Where no glad voices strike on the ear,
In tones of rejoicing exquisite sRd clear;
Where the cold, Shiny snake, IN that land
of despair,
Reveals in glory and triumph there.
Then when l lay down in silence to rest,
Let not earth's clod lie cold on my brea t;
When my eyes grow dim, and feeble my
breath,
When l calmly sleep in the arms of death,
When my heart ceases to beat, to throb no
more;
When all has vanished, that seemeth so fair,
o, bury nae then, but not-not there.
For in that land on sun sheds IFS beams,
There Aoweth not SO fair mrror'd streams,
No beauty is there, no sweet-Scented flower,
No hope 10 light up the pal coyer'd hour;
No sunlight, no pleasure, no happiness there
All, all is Shrowned in hopeless despair.
Then when / depart from this world SO
bright,
Oh mantle me not in that graves dark night;
Let not the cold sod repose on my breast,
When calmly | sink to eternal rest;-
Then hear my prayer e'er l sink to sleep,
Ere ye lay me low in my winding sheet;
And my soul will be fre' d from sorrow and
care,
Ifye bury me not in that laad of despair.

From the Ohio Statesman.
Lines on the Death Of Daniel
Webster.
BY MARY NEVILLE.

Mute are the lips of eloquence, and still
The heart that beat SO late with mighty tho't
And cold the brow whose majesty might fl!
A World, with genius and with wisdom
fraught-
Webster is dead-he of the magic tongue
From whence resistess words with grandeur
rolled,
AS some rare harp in lofty numbers strung,
Gushing with melody untamed and bold,
He who so lately in the Senate halls
His country guided with his counsel sage,
Now lieth passive whilst upon him fall
phe mantle and the shadow of the grave
No more among the mighty of his race,
A proud DER topping column shall he stand,
With greatness written on his Lordly face,
And genius glowing in his accents grand.
He dies but not to perish, for his name
Enrolled among the worthless of his cline,
With peerless Washington tear shall claim,
And in his country's annals proudly shine
And when the wise and brave in counsel
meet,
Gathering to shield the land in dangers hour,
His reeollected voice shall schoing sweep
Backon their hearts in wisdom and il power.

Kings Evil, or two in a Bed.

Good stories ale now so scarce none
should be lost, and the following told us by
Mr.. j. II. McVickcr, the Yankee comedian,
is among the best we have ever heard:
At a small village, not thousand miles
off, a number of stages arrived, filed with
passengers; who were obliged to stop at a
small tavren, in which there was no great
supply of beds The landlord remarked
that he should be Obliged to put two re

passengers, had made uphis mind to- snooze

Change Of Color in Fish.

Thc following paragraph is from "Sport.
ing in Sutherlandshire" England:
The change Of color in fish isvery remark
able, and takes place with great rapidity.
Put living black burn trout into white
hssjn. of water, and il becomes, within half
an hour, of a light color. Keep the fish
living in white jar for some days, and it
becomes absolutely white; but put it into a
dark-co!ored or black vessel, and although
on first being placed there the white colored
fish shows most conspicuously on the black
ground, in quarter Of an hour it becomes
as dark -colored as the bottom of the jar, and
consequently difficultto be seen. No doubt,
this facility of adapting its color to the bot
tom of the water in which it lives, is of the
greatest service to the fish in pro;ee citing it
from its numerous enemies. All anglers
must have observed that in every stream
the trout are very much Of the same color
as the gravel or sand on when they live;
whether this change of color is a voluntary
or involuntary ACT on the part Of the fish, |
leave it for the scientific to determine.

Impertinence we'll Punished,

Some English people were visiting an ell
egant private garden at Palermo, Sicily, and
among tie little ornamental buildings, they
came to one upon which was written "Non
operite," that is, "Don't open" This pro-
hbition only served to excite their curlos-
lty, and they very unclvilly proceeded to
dlsobey the hospi!able owners injunction,
On opening the door a forcible Jet OF water
was squirtcd full in their faces-7a very Just,
though not very severe retribution.

conversation with an old American who,
from his grey locks and apparent age, might

Stqtes, lately arrived at st, Louis, were the
three MISS Hunts, who are just in from the
Plains. These ladies formerly resided in

any considerable progress in their journey
across the Plains before the cholera, in all

among them. and when they reached the
