HOPEFUL YOUTH.

A few evenings since while sitting al our
office window, we observed young urchn
who had Just doifed bis nursery clothes, com.
ing down Main Street on a sort Of dog trot,
stopping only to charge on the dogs he met
with, until coming up to a man sitting on the
door Of his, he stopped, eyed the man,
who little dreamed Of what was about to be-
fall him, when all Of sudden the young
scamp sprung at him, and hit him such u rap
on the side Of the head that he recned not
a little to one side. The poor mans face
turned very red as he looked daggers after
the little rascal who ran Of apparently as
little diconccrted and unconcerncd as though
he had only gently pulled pussy's tail. The
scene was so ridiculous and ludicrous, we
could not help laughing, though we honest
ly though the young hopeful "needed to be
teach'd edecation" BY the good old "Rule of
Hickory Withc. The next exploit Of the
promising little hero was 10 take hold of an
old gentemans coat tail and give itsuch pail
as to set him reeling as though he had been
fudded He enext charged furously on flock
of geese "and put them all to fight Even
the "old sturdy gander" himself, could not
withstand SO formidable an enemy. The old
hero after short resistance gave way, be-
fore the young stripling, and away went gan.
der, boy and all, until lost in cloud of dust,
they disappeared.
This rank growth scion should never be
'spilt by teachin' him this tarnal edecation." "
You see to it "ma" that no unfeelin' teacher
ever makes the back of your darlin' boy
sting by a judcious and wholesome appli.
cation Of hickory oil. 1T would spile him.

LANGUAUE OF JOY AND SoRRow-We ought
to be better acquainted with the miseries than
with the happiness of life. This is shadowed
forth by the fact that at least in the English
language the words to express what is good
and pleasurabIe, are fewer by great deal
.han those for the bad and painful. We have
colors to paint every stage of wickedness, and
and strokes for every stage of woe, let the
crime be the blacklist, we can give it name !;
let the cup be the bitterest, we can tell of the
very leas. But to tell Of the varying light of
pleasure, and all the winning ways of good
ness. we are at a loss; and the most that we
can say Of the greatest goodness is, that there
is an unknown, an indescribabe charm about
it; the most that we can say of the highest
bliss that it is unutterable.

STARVATION IN SPAIN 1t appears thai
the misrable condition TO which Ireland was
reduced few years ago, is paralleled by
what is now taking place in Spain. A writer
ina French paper says:
ain vain The venerable Bishop Of 81. JAG
ques, in presence Of more than six hundred
unfor,unates resembling moving corpses,
who daily besiege his gale, has sold his mules
and his carriages. In vain has he reduced
himself and his servants to the merest nee
essaries, 10 order that he might give the rest
10 those who perish Of hunger. All that he
or the other bishop and clergy, all that the
government eau do, according to the Espsr-
onsa, is but a drop Of water to extnguish
the confagraion. When we speak Of The
government, however, we must remember that
last contribution made by II OF 3,OOO,OOO
ofreals, has not been distributed. In the
mountains, the starving die by dozens, and in
many places fever Of the most dangerous
character are joined to the famine. Hun
dreds Of sick expire for want of nourish-
ment and medicine. The streets of our city
are encountered with old men, womsn and

with miserable rags and even worse, troub-
ling themselves no longer except 10 die in

OF what is the old man thinking?
As he leans on his oaken staff;
FROM the May day past nc shrinking,
lie shares not the merry laugh.
But the tears Of the old man flow,
As he looks on the young and gay;
And his gray head moving slow
Keeps time to the air they play,
The elder around are drinking,
But not one cup will he quaf;
Oh, Of what is the old man thinking,
As he leans on bis oaken staff
II is not with vain rcpining
That the old man sheds tear;
r is not for his strength declining,
lie sighs not to lingor here.
Theirs spell in the air they play,
And the old mans eyes are dim,
For It calls up past May.day,
And the dear friends lost to him.
From the scene before him shrinking
From the dance and the merry laugh
OF their calm rcposc he is thinking,
AS he leans on his oaken staff

place, last "Wednesday, to try our hand at
taking same pencil sketches of those
who were figuring about us. s.
BISHOP AMEs.
OF course, the Bishop. sitting on an
elevated platform, was sufficiently prom
iuent to catch our eye first. The Bish-
OF possesses, in his person, one Of the
essentials ola great man. He has suf-
ficient OF the mortal to arrest the atten-
ton ola stranger, meet him where he
may. The Bishop is not corpulent as
we understand that word, but he is what
would be denominated a portly man,
weighing, we would guess, 400, avoir-
dupoise. He Is one Of the junior Bish-
ops, having not yet been in Office two
years, but he appears as much at home
in the chair, as il "to the manor born"
His manner Of conducting the affairs Of
conference expedites business very
much. He watches every thing with a
Lynx's eye, and seldom allows 1t to be-
come tangled, however many amend
ments, substitutes, and considerations
may be piled up. As pulpit orator the
Bishop has few superiors. His voice Is
peculiar, somewhat effeminate--perhaps
little whining at first. But every
word is in the right place, and of the
right kind. The hearer at once feels
that a man Of mind is before him. and
the subject appears entirely new, though
II be one that, with most men, would be
regarded as thread-bare. We have not,
at the time Of this sketching, heard him
p, each as Bishop, but we had often heard
him before his election. He Is never
unInteresting, though at times rather
dry. At a night appointment, unless
there be large congregation. and at a
Saturday appointment, at a quarterly
meeting, he would not impress n stran-
ger as being superior man, unless there
were circumstances to "wake him up"
But at Sabbath appointment. when
the occasion Is one Of Importance, he
begins by laying a broad foundation,
and renewing whatever OF rubbish may
appearin the phraseology ofthe text, and
then proceeds to build structure, that
can but be admire d for It's symmetry, and
