"GooD MORNING. Every body says good
morning in New York-till after dinner. The
higher the circle man moves in, the later he

This sautation Is sort of sliding scale OF

higher he stands. The man who says ..good

Depend upon it he works for a living; he foots
it down town. mornings, and carries his dinner
in small tin pail with Young tin pail inverted
upon the top of it. The reports himself

There's another that bids you good morning,

There comes one at six full past, who say
s.good morning" still. He's up to 2l2.' on tn
scale--the very boiling point of respectability.
And there on the curb-stone side of the walk
steals poor devil, who. for the matter of di
ming, is not on the scale at all He never dimes
he could say "good morning" all day long, wer

Song OF the Southern boy.

Oh ! cannot live III the northern cline
When the winds are wild and chill
For my heert then longs for its southern home
And beats with southern thrill
And dream Of the calm clear lakes that lie
In depths of the silent wood
And think of the placid southern sky,
Which shadows their solitude.
And often think OF the wild deer free
And mock birds JOYOUS lays.
And the prailies broad. where the eye can see
TO the far borrizons haze.
Where the moss man builds his palmetto hut,
And none but the hunter G.,
wish to paddle my light piroque
Ger the depths Of the broad bayou.
Oh still there my fathers house I see,
Mid the perfumed orange grove;
And brother and sisters are calling me-
Come, dearest, and share our love-
aTis the home where affection holds its reign
Where the hears's best feelings flow
Then cannot in northern climes remain,
But must to my hearts home 60.
must 90 where the Mississippi glides
Through the valleys rich and broad;
Whare the wild bees hum and the owlets hide,
in the grand and painless wood.
Ere the flowers have gone to winter death,
And the ice-king breathes his spell;
must HE away from the chilling breath,
And bid you long farewell.

SrRoNG MEN.-lTilo, celebrated athletic of
Cnltono in Italy, early accustomed himself to
carry the greatest burdens, and by degrees be-
came monster in strength. He was several
times crowned ct the Pythian games and six
times at the Olympian. He presented himself
the seventh time, but no one had the courage TO
enter the list against him. He was one of the
disciples of Pythagoras, and TO his uncommon
strength the learned preceptor and his pupils
owed their lives. The pillar which supported
the roof Of the school-room suddenly gave way,
but Milo supported the whole weight which the
pillar had supported, and gave the philosopher
time to escape.
1t is said that Augustin II, King of Poland,
could roll up a silver plate like sheet of paper,
and twist the strongest horse shoe asunder
Al Frenchman who was attached to the circus
in this country, was able to resist the united
strength of four horses, as was witnessed by
hundreds in various parts of the country.
