BOYS WANTED.

The Philadelphia City Item lets off
the following: What are we TO do for
boys? When we were boy, there
were lots Of boys, but they have grad
ually grown scarce. until now there is
hardly boy left. AS we walk through
the streets we read in shop windows,
"Boys Wanted" When We pick up
a newspaper, the first advertisement
that strikes our eye is-"A Boy Wan
ted" In word everybody wants a
boy.
Now, in view Of this great scarcity Of
boys what are we to do? What shall
we do for substitute to light our
fires, sweep our Office and run our er-
rands?
The other day little fellaw about
fourteen years Of age, (begging his
pardon, we took him for boy,) ap-
piled to US for q situation.
"What can you do?" we inquired.
"a little ofalmost everything" was
the reply.
"Are you quick at your errands?"
"Well, sir, l don't much like to do
errands."
"Can you sweep and dust well?"
"Why, sir. young men don't sweep
any nowadays. The women folks
have monopolized that branch of the
business. 1t isn't
He was going on TO say sweeping
isn't genteel, but he hesitated to state
his conviction.
ful?"
"Why, I'll sitin the Office and an
swer questions when you are out"
"And how much do you ask for
this service?"
"In the neighborhood, sir, of three
dollars"
'.In the neighborhood?"
-'Yes sir
"Whst do you mean by neighbor-
hood?'
simply three dollars, sir-a trifle
more or less"
"And you can neither sweep or run
errands?"
"Oh, "a little vexed. I could. but"
"But what?"
'1t amt exactly the thing"
"Yet at your age, we 4"
"Damn me SIR" picking his hal
and striding towards the door, ''yoa
don't take me for a Boy do you?"
Amused but not astonished, we ask
ed ourselves the question-what are
we to do for boys?
If some enterprising Yankee would
undertake to get up a lot of boys
he could make a large fortune il
a short time, for never in our rec
ollection, have boys been in such de-
mand.

THERE ARE Two WAYS TO LIVE ON
EARTH.

M CHARLES SWAIN.
There are two ways TO live or earth
Two ways TO judge-to aet-to view;
For all things here have double birth
right and wrong, ialse and tfue
Give me the home where kindness socks =
To make that sweet which seemesh small;
Where every lip In fondness speaks,
And every mind hath care for all.
Whose inmates live In glad exchange
ofpleasurcs, fee from vain expense;
Whose thoughts beyond their means ne'or
range;
Nor wise denIals give ofepsel
WHOM n neghbor's fortune nnd.
No wise, no impulse, 10 complain;
Who feel not, never felt, the mind
To envy yet another's gaini
Who dream not OF the mocking tide
Ambitions foiled endeavor meets
The bitter pangs ofwoundcd pride,
Nor fallen Power that shuns tho streets.
Though Fate deny Its giIttering sore,
Loves wealth Is still the wealth 10 choose
For all that Gold can purchase more
Are gauds, II Is no loss 10 LOSE
Some beings wheresoe'e they 60,
Find pought to please, or to exait--
Their constant study butlo show
Perpetual modes Of finding fault.
While others, In the ceaseless round
or da wants, and daily care,
Can yet Gull flowers from the common
ground,
And twice enjoy the Joy they sharol
OH happy they who happy make,
Who, blessing, still themselves are blesu
who something spare for others sake,
And strive Ia all things for tho bestl

THE KANSAS EmIGRANTS
by J. @. WHITTIER.

We cross the prairie as OF old
- The pilgrims crossed the sea,
To make the West, as they the East.
The homestead OF the free,
We 20 to rear a wall OF men
On Freedoms southern line,
And plant beside the cotton tree,
The rugged Northern pine!
We're flowing from our native hills
As our free rivers flow;
The blessing OF our mother land
Ison us as we go.
We go to plant her Common Schools
On distant prairie swelIs.
And give the Sabbaihs OF her wild
The music OF her bells.
Upbearing, like the Ark OF old,
The Bible In our van,
Wego 10 test. the truth OF God
Against the fraud of man.
Wen sweep the prairie as OF old
Our fathers swept the sea,
And make the West, as they the East,
Pas. The homestead of the free.
The Rev. Mr.. Boynton resuming,
stated that there were 12,711, $40 acres
of land in Kansas open for pre-emp-
ton settlement, and $4,000 which,
according to treaties with the Indians,
were to be sold, and part of the mon
ey given to the Indians, but of these
last 528,UOO acres belonged to the
Delawares, upon whose lands there
were already 1900 squatters claiming
pre-emption. and though they had no
right to be there, it was doubtful wheth-
er government could drive them out;
hence, Is million acres Of land may
be said to be open for pre-emption
settlement.
The cost of the agents in travelling
was $500, but in the spring it will cost
an emigrant S25 to go, and then he
may have years to buy his land at
government price, 81 e5 per acre.
This squatter law-squatters allowed
pre-emption on l60 acres, but by club
bing together the get 240 acres, as no
one dares to object to it.
The lecturer spoke of the advanta-
ges of timber and prairie land. Hedg-
ing for fences, and the advantages ol
Kansas for stock growing. He then
showed the relative commercial pros

A PLEDGE TO THE DYING YEAR.


Fill to the brim lone pledge of the past,
As it sinks on its shadowy bier;
Fill to the brim tits the saddest and last
We pour 10 the grave OF the year.
Wake the light phantoms of beauty that Won us
To linger awhile in these bowers,
And flash the bright day. beam of promise upon US,
That gilded life's earliest hours.
Here's to the love-though it fitted away,
We can never, no never, forget
Through the gathering darkness Of many a day,
Our pledge will we pour TO it yet:
oh! lrail as the vision, that witching and tender,
And bright on the wanderer broke,
Wheu lren's own beauty in shadowless spleador,
Along the wild desert awoke.
Fill to the brim !-our pledge to the glow
Of the heart in its purity warm,
Ere sorrow had sullied the fountain below,
Or darkness envelop' d the form;
Fill to that life tide oh. warm was it gushing,
Through Adens of arrowy light,
And yet like the wave in its wild revels rushing,
Twill gladden. the wine-cup tonight.
Fill to the past!-from its dim, distant sphere,
Wild voices in melody come;
The strains of the by-gope, deep-echoing here,
We pledge to their shadowy tomb;
And like the bright orb that in sinking filings back
One CLEAN DER the cloud-cover'd dome,
May the dreams of the past in futurity track
The hope of a boiler home!

FALSE ARIsTocRAcY.--Und this caption the Ed
itor Of the New Orleans Crescent himself high
souled and wholesoued Virginian rebukes the Rich
mond Enquirer Tor a silly paragraph that has been
going the rounds Of the papers, after the following
fashion:
The old aristocracy of Virginia were well-bred
race courteous and kind to high and low. Ofinso-
lence, of wanton insult to any one, no body of men
was ever more incapable Nor indeed, would the
spirit of the common people there have endured any
lordly airs. For it was and is n land at once of
good manners and of independence. Never there
fore, was there greater libel than what we are
about to quote from one of the journals, the Rich
mond Enquirer:
Virginia, in this confederacy is the impersona-
ton of the well born well educated, wellbred aris
tocrat She looks down. from Der elevated pedestal
upon her parreaU, Ignorant endmacious Yankee
villifes, as codly and calmly as q marble statue"
The editor who writes with such baseborn arro-
gance as this belongs to that lowhunG set of dema
gogues who have constantly done their bestby every
vulgar art to pull down not merely all aristocracy
in Virginia, but all worth.
Mother of statesmen and of States shall any lel-
low born by mistake upon your soil, be suffered to
hold, in your honorable name such disgracefu Ian
guage as this to our brethren of the North ! Call
your servants about you and have him thrust out Of
doors.
Here, brothers of the Press! 1t is you that can
spread far and wide the shame of dishonest as the
praise of becoming things, This chap is not only
a lackey playing the lord but evidently disunon-
list, Hustle him hand him around keep him
agoing on with him toss him, the shuttecock Of
your scorn, from end to end of the Union Then
spurn him. the foot ball of your Indignation, out of
it.
