A Beautiful Picture.

The man who stands upon his own soil,
who feels by the law of the land in which he
lves-by the law of civilized nations-he is
the rightful and exclusive owner of the land,
which he tills is by the constitution ot our
nature under wholesome influence not cas-
lily lmbbed from any other source.-He feels
other things being equal-more strongly
than another, the character Of man as the
lord of an inanimate world. Of this great
and wonderful sphere which, fashioned by
the hand of God. and upheld by His power,
is rolling through the heavens, a part is his
his from the centre to the sky. 1t is the space
on which the generation before moved in its
round of duties, and he feels himself connec
ted by link with those who follow him, and
to whom he is to transmit home. Perhaps
his farm has come down TO him from his faith
er. They have gone to their last home! but
he can trace their footsteps over the scenes
of his daily abors The roof which shelters
him was reared by those whom he owes his
being Some interesting domestic tradition
is connected with every enclosure. The fa-
vorite fruit tree was planted by his fathers
hand. He sported in boyhood beside the
brook, which still winds through the mead
ow. Through the field lies the path to the
vlllge school of earlier days He still hears
from the window the voice OF the Sabbath bell
which called his father to the house Of God,
and near at hand is the spot where his pa
rents laid down to rest and where when his
time has come, he shall be laid by his chill
dren, these are the feelings of the owner OF
the soil Words cannot paint them; they
flow out of the deepest fountains of the heart,
they are the life spring Of fresh, healthy
and generous nat onal haracter.-EdWGrd

Stop Thief.

The scamp who broke into our Office, last
week, and stols our clock, and broke our
shears and poker, in attempt to break open
our desk to get four cents, is requested TO re-
turn the same forthwith, as--like other breth-
eren Of the quill-we are not particularly
flush. besides, we miss the tick of that clock.
The shears. too we find great loss. The
"devl' SAYS the thief coud not have been a
generous minded man, OF he would have had
some compassion on the poor editor-unabie
as he is TO buy new pair, he has TO make
the paper with more original matter, We
think he ought to be published, for not re-
garding that old maxim, "Honor Among
thieves" BY destroying our shears, he pre-
vented us from stealing copy. However il
the poor contemplate wretch will bring back
the clock, make good the shears, and present
us with a new poker. we think the "devil'
will regard him as having some conscience
left yet.-M Y. Budget

EE Here is another story from Rnicke,-
bocker's "Children's Gossip" too good to 60

"A little fellow was forbid by his mother
to 60 to the brook 20 swim. One day he
broke her command. and in putting on his
shirt got the wrong side out. His mother
quickly discovered this and knowing he had
been disobeying her orders. asked how bis

under which the little rogue staggered for a
moment, but frightened up, he replied tri-
umphantly. %! l-I--guess turned it get

A smile, a tear, a glory; longing after

There is poetry in the harmoni o. nature.
