THE OLD LOG HUT.
BY B. SINCLAIR, ESQ.

BYB. SINCLAIR, ESQ.
Down by the river our log hut stands
Where father and mother once dwelt,
And the old door latch that was worn by hands,
And the church weren we knelt.
Years, years have passed since that happy time,
But the river keeps rolling along,
And the ripping sound on the messy bank,
Is singing that same old song.
CRoRUs.-Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream,
And all that's past is gone you know
The future S but dream.
There stands the tree we used to climb,
And the mill with its rolling din,
And the old wharf boat there 1t used to float,
Where the school boys used to swim.
High grass grows Per the masters grave,
And the birds and the bees, the blossoms, the
trees,
Are singing the same old song.
CHoRUs.-Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream,
And all that's past is gone you know
The futures but dream.

Washington once asked him

The ways Of Advertising for wife are
various but perhaps the following mentioned
by The Hull Advertiser, is the most ext'aor-
dinary "A rustic, residing near the village
of Kirbvunder-Dale wanting wife, provld-
ed himself with large placard, and printed
upon it. "Wan,ed, woman 10 make wife
Of, with liule money, TO 60 to America"
This he placed on his hat, and planted him
self in front Of the Church door on Sunday
last, when the congregation was leaving.

ESCAPE OF FONTANE.

ESCAPE OF FONI ANE.
During the seige Of Ly ons, the poet Fon-
tame had been shu. up with his family in
the midst Of the cily in ruins. Full Of alarm
for the fate Of his young wife and infant, he
resolved, a, all risks, to escape if he could
Having "blained a passport, difficulty
arose as to how he could carry away some
plate and Other valuable articles, then con-
sidered quite snli-republican. Among these
valuables was a chalice. a n1esent from a
sovereign, on which an able artist had en-
ersved the arms of the King Of Sardinia
Fontane greatly dreaded lest this chalce
should be discovered, as being vessel used
in the service of the Church, and bearing
the arms Of king. it would tell as three
fold proof Of aristocracy. However, he de-
cided on taking it., and has,ened to the house
Of q friend, who had been nursery gar
dener.
The poet then laid aside all his (eudaI
ornaments, and set abou. exchanging his
clothes TO give himself another appearance.
Having dressed himself in vide pan,a-
looms, and shoes stuck full Of large nails,
his hair cropped off and every grain Of pow
der removed, he emerged from the garden
er's house in the character Of laundress's
porter, with heavy basket Of clothes on
his shoulder-lhe plate and chalce careful
ly packed under the linen. His young
family followed few PAGES behind him
with the passport, but they had to pass close
to the terrible instrument Of death for there
il stood, always ready for use. FonIane
shuddered. His wife turned pale. To them
their situation was awful! But reason and
necessity urged them on. Fontsne resolved
to &C. decided part. He walked up in
from. Of the gulloine, grasping the baske,
firmly with his hand, and loosening the
leather strap as if TO ease himself, he look
ed steadily 8. the scahold.
A man fruffisnly appearance, who atten-
ded as if he were guard Of the guillollne,
came up 10 him.
':Are you afraid" said he to Fontane.
sstha. you look in this way a. the national
razor ?"
"Afraid," said Fon,ane; edo you ,ske
me for Federals,, tina. should be fright
ened at the sight Of q guillo,ine /! Sacre
bleu! Look a. me do you see anything
like an aris,ocra, in ny face -
"Whst sre yon?" said a second interroga-
tor, addressing Fonlane.

"And this good woman :"
"Wha, question:" said Fontane. "Look

''Ah that's right. - said the miscreant
s'you're good one. Down with muscadins
and aristocra,s. Viue la Republigue F.! and
Tiue la Guillotine 20
Fontane could no, join in this sanguinary
cry. He saw his wife trembe and took
her hand.
"Come, wife," said he, "le. US have q

ARGUMENT.-Never wase arguments on
people who don't know logic from log
wood, which is the case with half the folks
who love dispulalion. The best reply to a
s'olid dogmalisl is to say, "Cer,ainly-no
doubt Of tits as clear as mud" There
is no poser like sPrigh'lv scquiescence To
your eternal wrangIer. Let him have his
own wav, and you confound him at once.
Leave him TO himself, and you make him so
uncomfortable that he will leave you; ''a
consummation devouily to be wished."-

FEMALE ACCOMPLISHMENTS coun-
try like this, where there are no arstocrs,ic
distinctions, and where almost every lady
is called upon 10 take charge. if not assist
in a household, the education should be
made as practical as possible, so ,ha. mans
wife would dt least be able 10 understand
lamb friccasees as we'll as Lambs essays,
end lobster sauce as well as Crabbe's tales
The ar, Of sewing on shir,-buuons should
not fall in the Bas,le of Prague, and the sci-
ence Of darning stockings be lost TO the
world in the mazes Of the waltz. The pos
session Of all the useful aud practical arts Of
the good housewife are not inconsistent,
with The possession Of the highest accom-
plishmenls, and why they are SO commonly
separated, we are q, loss to conceive.
