The Boy and the Bricks.

A boy, hearing his father say it is a
poor rule that will not work both ways
said, If father applies this rule about
his work, | will test it in my play
So, setting up row of bricks, three
or four inches apart, he tipped over the
first, which, striking the second caused
it to fall on the third, which overturned
the fourth, and so on through the whole
course, until all the bricks lay PROSTATE.
WE'LL said the boy. each brick has
knocked down his nelghbor, which stood
next to him only tipped one. Now
| will raise one, and see if it will raise
its neighbor. will see if raising one
will raise all the rest
He looked in vain for them to rise.
Here, father said the boy, is a
poor rule, it will not work both ways.
They knock each other down, but will
will not raise each other up.
MY son. said the father. bricks and
mankind are alike, made of clay, active
in knocking each other down, but not
disposed to help each other up He ad.

Moral When men fall, they love
company; but when they rise they love
to stand alone, like yonder brick, and
see others PROSTATE and below them

The Responsible Editor.

1t is not generally known that there is
one person about this office who is par
ticularly responsible for articles, which
appear in our columns. Persons are be.
ginning to find it out, and others will
soon do so. After our last publication
an individual, who considered himself
somewhat aggrieved, came to the office
in great splutter, and wanted all man
ner of explanations and retractions.-
Fortunately, the responsible editor was
present, who distinctly told him that the
article as published, was nothing like
so severe as he had intended. The very
savage manner with which this was de-
!ivered, Gained the offended dignitary
at once, and sent him off murmuring a
the liberty of the press. Now, we
inform those who do not know it
that there is an important individual in
this Office the author of all the pr,ncinaI
matter, who delights in being held re-.
sponsible. He is dangerous man to ,rife
with. The grand hickory stick he ,wirls
in his hand, would be enough with his
daredevil look) to frighten most persons
but when we state that in the depth OF
the pocket of the remarkable check
coat he wears, he conceais one of the
most beautiful persuaders ever manu-.
featured by Colt, we are satisfied he will
be terror to all vil-doers.
We would also stale that, generally
he is occupied doing out Of door business
but that on every Saturday until on,
o'clock, P. M, he is always at the Office
perfectly ready and willing 10 give every
and any satisfaction for articles he pub

Many years ago certain sum of mon,
ey was offered by the authorities of one
the Western States, for every bears
head that was produced. The new pur
suit thus opened was followed with grear
alacrity by good many woodsmen, bu
to none did it appear SO profitable as to
a certain citizen, highly distinguished
for his intelligence, but not hitherto cele-
brated for excellence in craftsmanship
At last the steady and increasing sup.
ply Of bears heads from this quarter at

discovered that the producer had beer

The Fallen One.

All, do not spurn the fallen one
From our hearts sympathy,
Repentance may perchance atone,
And bless fsturity.
We cannot know the fiery tests.
Which have their weak souls tried;
While our own virtue may at best
Prove nought but naughty pride.
While left to our own native strength,
With nought our souls to stay;
Before our years have reached their length
We might prove weak as they.
Or should our virtue prove the best,
Our souls from dross refined,
1t will not give US s~ eeter rest,
TO slight an erring mind.
Nor will it add one lustre more
To our crowns in Heaven;
To harshly judge the fallen poor,
Whose hearts of joys are riven.
Then try to raise the fallen one,
To virtues paths restore;
Help them with faith to overcome,
Teach patience to endure.

The Sabbath Bell.
BY ELIZA COOK.

Peal on, peal OIL love to hear
The old church ding-dong soft and clear
The welcome sounds are doubly blest
With future hope and earthly rest.
Yet were no calling changes found
To spread their cheering echoes round,
There's not place where man may dwell
But he can hear Sabbath bell.
Go to the woods, when winters song
Howls like famished wolf along,
Or when the south winds scarcely turn
The light leaves of the trembling fern
Although no cloisler-chimes ring there,
The heart Is called to faith and prayer;
For all Creations voices tell
The tidings of the Sabbath bell.
Go to the pillows, let them pour
In gentle calm or headlong roar;
Let the vast ocean be thy home,
Thou'lt find God upon the foam;
In ripping swell or stormy roll,
The crystal waves shall wake thy soul,
And thou shalt feel the hallowed spell.
The lark upon his skyward way,
The robin on the hedge-row spray,
The bee within the wild rhymes bloom,
The owl amid the cypress gloom,
All sing, in every varied tone,
A vesper to the great Unknown;
Above-below-one chorus swells
OF Gods unnumbered Sabbath bells.

" I'm Just Here"

Ii is well known to our readers that in all
communities there is II class of individuals
known by the generic name of sponge and
sucker who conrive not only 10 get their
living by crook, with scarcely any labor, but
also TO travel in steamboats, and railroads,
from one settlement TO another, free gratis
and for nothing The only work they ever
perform is to exercise their wits, and this, ii
must he confessed, when they get into tight
place, they have TO perform sometimes 10 an
excr,ciaing degree. When called upon for
his fare in a steamboat or railway car, one of
these gentry has always ready some exc use
for the nonpossession OF the Tin, sucI, as
that he has lest his pocket book, containing
800 spot on the Suffolk two or three
filiies, half dozen tens, and any number of
small bills; or, he forgot 10 provide himself
with the rags or, in shifting his clothes,
left his wallet in his other pants pocket, etc.
Some time ago, one of this interesting ira
terniIy had taken passage in one of the Ken
ncbec steamers al Halowell, and, as is Gus.
tomary, was called upon, in common with
the rest of the passengers, between Rich
nond and Bath, for his 'nippences.'
One of the usual excuses was given for not
'forking over he had left Haiowell for Bos-
ton in a Tremendous hurry, and, in settling
his bill, had left his wallet on the office coun-
ter. It's a very awkward affair." said he,
to the clerk, quits me in n very disagreeable
position but as soon as reach Boston, can
telegraph to Augusta, you know, and then
adjust your lille bill. Twill be all right,
my dear fellow, in day or two.
But the clerk (who, we may as well say,
was our old friend Ariel WALTZ knew i,
would not he all right; he was thoroughly
posted touching this specios of homo, and
50 he told our hero that unless he forked ov-
er before they reached Bath, he would be
put ashore. Accordingly, the steamer had
no sooner touched the wharf at the latter
place, than the sucker was made 10 walk
The plank.
But the clerk was not without bowels =
there was just chance that he might be
mistaken, and seeing our hero-j,lst us the
wheels were beginning to move again, and
the steamer to leave The Misunderstanding
on the wharf. the very incarnation of meek
ness and resignation, he cried out to him
you may jump on board, sir, if you'll pay
your fare.'
Thank you, sir was the rayther icy reply
Il wasn't bound any farther-Bath was the
