How TO MAKE GOOD STUDENT.-Many
years since, when the late Lieutenant
Governor Phillips, of Andover, Mass, was
student of Harvard College, owing to
some boyish freak, he left the University
and went home. His father was very grave
man, Of sound mind and few words. He
inquired into the business, but deferred ex-
pressing any opinion until the next day.
At breakfast, he said, speaking to his wife,
"My dear, have you any cloth in the house
suitable to make Sam frock and trowsers?"
She replied, Eyes"
"Well," said the old gentleman, 'sfollow
me, my son.
Samuel kept pace with his father, as he
leisure4 walked near the Common, and at
length ventured to ask,
"What are you going to do, father?''
81 am going to bind you an apprentice
to that blacksmith" replied Mr.. Phillips
s'Take your choice; return to college, or
you must work"
81 had rather return" said the son.
He did return, confessed his fault, was a
good scholar, and became an excellent and
useful citizen. If all parents were like Mr..
Phillips, the students at our colleges would
prove better students, or the nation would
have more plentiful supply of blaeksmiths.

THE SOLDIERS STORY,

1t was in a stirring time of the Duke n
Wellingten's wars, after the French had re-
treated through Portugal, and Bedajos had
fallen, and we had driven them fairly over
the Spanish frontier, the light division was
ordered on a few of their long leagues fur
ther to occupy line Of posts among the
mountains which rise over the northern
banks of the Guadiana. A few companies
of our regiment advanced to occupy viii
lage which the French had just abandoned.
We had brisk march over scorched
and ragged country, which had already
been ransacked of all that could have sup
piled us with fresh provisions; it was many
days since we had heard the creak of the
commissaro's wagon, and we had been on
very short commons. There was no reason
to expect much in the village we were now
ordered to. The French, who had just
marched out, would, Of course, have helped
themselves to whatever was portable and
must have previously pretty well drain
ed the place. We made search, however,
judging that, possibly, something might
have been concealed from them by the pea
SAINTS; and we actually soon discovered
several houses where skins of wine had
been secreted. A soldier, sir, 1 take it,
after hot service of fatigue, seldom thinks
of much beyond The comfort of drinking to
excess; and 1 freely own that our small
party soon caused sad scene of confusion
Every house and hovel was searched, and
many poor fellow, who had contrived to
hide his last skin Of wine from his enemies,
was obliged to abandon it to his allies. You
might see the poor natives ON all sides run
ming away; some with morsel of food,
others with a skin of wine in their arms,
and followed by the menaces and stagger-
ing steps of the weary and half drunken
soldiers.
"Vino uiao!' was the cry in every part
of the village. An English soldier, sir, may
be for months together in foreign land,
and have pride in not knowing how to ask
for anything but liquor. 1 was no better
than the rest.
"Vno quiero vinO % said l, to poor
half starved, and ragged native, who was
stealing off, and hiding something under his
torn cloak; 'Vino! you beggardly scoun-
drel give me vino !"' said l.
"Tino no tengo" he cried, as he broke
from my grasp, and ran quickly and fear
fully away.
81 was not very drunk had not had
above half my quantity-and / pursued
him up street. But he was the feeter;
and should have lost him, had not made
sudden tsrn, and come upon him in q
forsaken alley, where l suppose the poor
thing dwelt. seized him by the collar
He was small and spare, and he trembled
under my gripe; but still he held his own,

Spring is coming-Spring is coming!
With her sunshine and her shower;
Heaven is ringing with the singing
Of the birds in brake and bower;
Buds are filling, leaves are swelling,
Flowers on field and bloom on tree;
Ger the earth, and air, and ocean,
Nature holds her Jubilee.
Soft, then, stealing comes a feeling ..
Ger my bosom tenderly;
Sweetly ponder as wander,
For my musings are of thee.
Spring is coming-spring is coming!
With her mornings fresh and light;
With her moons and chequered glory,
Sky of blue, and clouds of white
Calm grey nightfalls, when the light falls
From the star-bespangled sky,
While the splendor, pale and tender,
OF the young moon CLEANS on high,
Still at morn, at noon, at even,
Spring is full ofjoy for me,
For ponder, as I wander,
And my musings are Of thee.
Still on thee my thoughts are dwelling,
Whats0er thy name may be;
Beautiful beyond words telling,
Is thy presence unto me.
Mornings breaking finds thee waking
Wandering in the breeze's fight;
Noontide's glory mantles o'er thee
In shower of sunny light;
Daylight dying leaves thee lying
In the silvery twilight ray;
Stars look brightly on thee nightly
Till the coming of the day.
Every where and every minute
Feel near thee, lovely one;
In the lark and in the linnet,
can hear thy joyous tone.
Bud and blooming mark the coming
Of thy feet o'er vale and hill;
And thy presence with life's essence,
Makes the forests heart to fill.
Low before thee, adore thee,
Love creative, thee sing;
Now meet thee, and greet thee
By the holy name of Spring!

MISS PREsroN's LEcTuREs.--Miss
Ann Preston, M. D., is now delivering
"a course Of lectures, upon anatomy, &c.,
to the ladies OF this city, at SAMSON St.
Hall. Our readers knew that we high
ly approve of these lectures in general,
and OF Miss Pfeston's in particular
Judging OF the latter, of course, from the
testimony of ladies in whose intelligence
and refinement We have every confidence.
1t is very necessary that ladies should
be taught upon such subjects, and deli
cacy demands that the teaching should
be done by their own sex. While we
are not much of s.woman's rights man
and do not believe at all in the sameness
of spheres of the sexes, we do believe
in female physicians-for women. Be-
cause we desire to preserve the peculiar
delicacy and refinement which are the
greatest charms of true womanhood.- -
We would cheerfully aid in such mea-
sures as are calcular ed TO Danish medica
men from the chambers of our wives ane
daughters. II any woman desire the OF:
flee of a female physician, she desires {
good work and we hope to see the da,
when az least one such woman will BIZ
found in every village Of our land

GENERAL CAss.-The old statesman
is bowed down with Affections which
tear the fibres of his heart. With the
wound struck by the death Of the cher
ished partner Of his life yet bleeding, he
has, as just learn from Detroit, been
struck down with another terrible be-
reayement in the death of his favorite
grand-child, Lizzie Garfield, daughter of
Captain Garfield, his son-in- law. She
was bright and lovely child, at the in
teresting age Of teh, and perfectly well,
and reading in the evening, and yet that
same night General Cass was wakened
from profound sleep with the melan-
choly announcement, that she was dying.
To add to the horror Of the scene, the
father, Captain Garfield, was absent from
home, while the mothers fearless shrieks
and lamentations were filling the old fam
lily mansion, and wringing the very soul
from the down-stricken grandfather
What night that must have been =
What are political honors, what the shouts
of approving nultitudes, or of hypocrit-
ical demagogues, to heart afflicted like
that Of General Cass! But l will not
intrude longer upon private grief; my
own feelings must be my own apology
for obtruding it on the public. = Cores.

POPULATION OF OREGoN.-A census
Of Oregon has lately been taken under
the auspices Of the territorial authori-
ties, with a view of ascertaining the
population as il now stands, since the
new territory of Washington has been
cut off, The announcement of the re-
suit is looked to with some interest, and
is believed by many, it had before its
division, very nearly population enough
to form State, and secure its admission
into the Union. We have as yet seen
only the census of Washington county
Oregon, which shows the following fig
ures: 1907 females of all ages, 1927
males under 2l years of age, and l,27s
voters. These form an aggregate of 81
806 persons but whether there are any
others in the county not herein included
is not stated. Oregon has suffered much
from the attractions Of the California
gold diggings, and the continual troub
les with the Indian tribes.

Hydraulic Rams.

As the best method of answering the
inquiry often made how those ainple-
ments for raising water actually work
when put to test, we copy from the
Boston Cultivator the following article
by corresp ondent. 1t is specific and
meets the points of enquiry:
eMr. EnIToR-Your corresp ondent,
5. G. F., asks information concerning
this truly valuable machine; | will give
an outline of my experience and success
if it will benefit any one. Four wears
ago last June, | had hydraulic ram put
operation, which brings water fifteen
rods tony barn, ain ELEVATION of SO fe ct;
thence to my house, % rods further, at
another elevation Of 80 feet making SO
rods from and IA feet above the RAM
As to utility, mine is the same in all re-
spects that it was when set up it has
not had the value of six cents laid out
on it in four years. have experiment
ted some upon mine, to ascertain how
the most water could be obtained and the
NEST saved; this was done in rart by
lengthening and shortening the drive
pipe long drive pipe with the same fall
will get mp the most wafer. Mine is
now go feet long 4 1-2 inch inner diam
eter, l-S inch thick made of lead, cost
plo. The small pipe, l-2 inch, cost IS
cents to the rod. The ram is about the
size of Douglass No. 4 /; cost $l4 and
no charge for putting in operation. Was
warranted one year; will get up "a
barrels Of water day of "a hours, at
the barn, or Ii barrels at the house, and
works to my entire satisfaction. 1t
waters my garden and cows when turn
ed out at night, and makes pool for my
hogs to waliow in this hot weather.
The ram is under one foot head, and six
other feet fall IN to the drive pipe. One
foot ana one or two inches fall 10 ten
feet rise, is better than more, as that is
nearest on an equilibrium. Get some
one to put up the machine that under
stands the business, fer if this is done
right there need be no trouble with it.
The size OF the ram should correspond
with the size of the spring: my ram
was put up by Dea. Alanson Andrus, Of
Canton, CT, man that can be relied up-
on. He makes the machines and pipe
also. If your land is clay, it will eat a
lead pipe out in few years four inch
es OF sand under and over the pipe will
prevent it. Some are using block tin
pipe. which is much more durable than
lead; iron is also used for the drive
pipe"

Heroes and Martyrs.

a case of moral heroism exceeding
that imputed to KsuD IvERsoN, occur
red in Marquette county, in this State,
a little over a year ago the facts of which
were established by judicial investiga-
ton, and were related to us by Judge
Larrabee who presided at the trial.
A beautiful, fair-haired, blue-eyed
boy, abou. nine years of age, was taken
from the orphan ASYLUM in Milwaukee
and adopted by respectable farmer of
Marquette, professor Of religion and
member of the Baptist persuasion. A
girl, little older than the boy, was al
so adopted into the same family. Soon
latter these children were installed in
their new home, the boy discovered
criminal conduct on the part of his new
imother which he mentioned to the little
Igirl, and it thereby came to the ears of
the woman she Indignantly denied the
story to the satisfaction of her husband,
and insisted that the boy should be
whipped until he confessed the false
hood. The man, poor, weak bigot, i'm
PEELED by sense of religious duty, pro-
ceeded to the task assigned him, by pro-
curing bundle of rods, stripping the
child naked and suspending him by 3
cord to the rafters Of tn, house, and
whipping him at intervals for over two
hours, till the blood ran through the
tioor below; stopping only to rest and
interrogate the boy, and getting no 9TH
Ier reply than, spa, | told the truth ;
can not tell a lie )" the woman all the
time urging him to edo his duty" The
poor little hero at length released from
the torture, threw his arms around the
neck Of his tormentor, kissed him and
said 'sPa, am SO cold" and died. II ap-
Ipeared, in evidence upon the trial of this
man and woman for murder, that the
child did tell the truth, and suffered
death by slow torture rather than tell a
lie. The age Of heroism and of martyr
dom will not have passed til mothers
cease to inssil christian precepts into tn,
minds of their infant offs pring.
The man and woman, who murdered
this angel child are now in the peniten-
tiary at Waupun to which they are SEN
fenced for ten years. Madison Argus

The large bear, belonging to Gov Far
well, which has been so often visited and
admired by many of our citizens, was

is now in the market of Messrs. Conley

and any person desiring choice bit for
Thanksgiving, will have TO call early this
evening, when it will De cut up and dis

blesome of late, ON which account he has
