Honor.

The purest treasure mortal times afford,
Is spotless reputation; that away,
Men are but gilded loan or painted clay.
A jewel in ten-times baird up chest,
Is bold spirit in a royal breast
Mine honor is my life; both grow in one;
Take honor from me, and my life is done.

that every man that lives to discretion

Have YOU spied gentle maiden,
Blossoms in her hand,
And her ringlets quite o'erladen-
Smiling soft and bland
If you saw her, did she tempt YOU
With her winning wiles
You pursuing, she retreating,
Beaming eer her smiles
HE'D she toward the gold of 0phir,
Or the ocean lies;
Wooing, charming, and beguiling,
CHANGING eer her smiles ?
Did she point to Fame's fair beacon,
Torched to light the way;
Crowned with garlands interminged,
Fair with leaves of bay
I've pursued her since the morning,
She has fed my sight;
Darkness grim hath closed around mo
Like the shades Of night.

On my weary way,
Till I find the sunny maiden
1t will ne'er be day.

My motherl on thy brow see
The marks of weary care;
And midst thy raven locks old Time
Has placed his signet there.
Thy once bright eye is faded now,
The fire Of youth burns dim;
What matters it, the loves still bright
That giows for thine within
have outwatched the love of friends,
Who, former ties forgot
Have seen them fade away as those
Who Uere, but aoao are not.
Oft in the vista of the past,
Thy love retains its place;
In each and every act of thine,
Its purity I trace.
A boon, my mother dear, I crave,
For one SO thoughtless, wild;
When at the throne of grace you kneel,
Pray for thy hayward child.

TO YOUNG MEN.
BY " CoNFUCIUs.

Young man, be active-improye the
passing moments, for it is precious sea-
son. You have not the promise of long
life. To-day is yours, tomorrow may
never come.
at is painful sight to see young men
lounging about month after month, Meth
er working nor desiring to work; while
-perhaps-poor parents are toiling from
morning till night, to support them from
disgrace, which their own thoughtless-
ness and laziness is fast bringing upon
them. But how many such sights are to
be seen in every community? How
many are found, who have not that sense
of true shame, which is necessary to force
them off the lounger's seat; but enough
of that false pride, which will not allow
them to take hold Of employment, if it
does not happen to be genteel and profit
able. Alas! the fate Of such is sealed;
they will 90 down to the grave unpitied,
unmourned, and soon to be forgotten by
all"
Young man, have you desire to be-
come useful Have you high and holy
aspirations? Be actiUe. Would you win
a good name, and exert happy influence
on those with whom you are associated !?
Be energetic-be patient be perseyering.
ssToil; either with the hand or the BRAIN
for this is the only true manhood-the
only true nobility"

A Floral Love Letter.

A late English paper contains letter
purporting to have been written by young
gardner, to a young lady whom he loved,
and whom-he wished to wed. Whether
exactly such a letter was actually written
and sent by the gardner, l have not the
means Of knowing, nor is it of much con-
sequence. The letter is an ingenious. one,
by whatever means it came to see the light.
1t reads thus:

THAT HoRRID Howl. The scream
of the steam whistle, rs our readers well
know, is some,' when it warns people to
keep off the track, be they deaf as
post but few, we presume, have ever Ia
ken the trouble to enquire as to the me-
chanical means by which it is produced
The following descriptionso of the instrument
is going the rounds, credited to the Rqit-
road Record: The whistle is formed Of
two cups, placed one above the other, and
opening one towards the other. The lower
cup is nearly Glledby ballor gland, SO as
to leave narrow aEnular opening Of l-32
inch in width, around the edge of the cup
is hollow, and It's lower edge is about one
inch or one and half inch from the lower
cup. BY admitting steam through valve,
to the lower cup, telescopes through an
annular opening and impinges against the
edge of the inverted cup. This produces
the sound. The heaviest whistles for loco
Z motives ara six inches in diameter. The
: hollow upper cup is made of sheet brass

A couple of curious Weddings.

*' x = We have heard of two mar
riages of recent occurrence here. One was
asmarriage romantic 1t was of stock
trader in the upper part of the city. The
wedding took place in Church hundred
young ladies dressed Ike houris, acted ast
bridesmaids, and an equal number of young
gentlemen. They formed a procession a
long the street which was distracting tol
behold and entered the marital home from1
a street carpeted with flowers Highrevel-l
ry was held to a late hour and as matri-
mony is contagious, small epidemic of
weddings is expected to rage soon.
The other was marriage dramatic. A
respectable young citizen wooed and won
beautiful young lady, equal in station to-
himself. The wedding day was fixed, and,
everything in preparation; when the young
lady suddenly discovered as many a one
before her has done that her afianeed was
not the saint he pretended to be and in
her modification she discarded him He
then put on dgnifed airs, and told his friends
that he had broken off the match, because
he had discovered that. the young lady s
family was not a srespectable as he supposed
This reached the ear of the young lady s
brother in-law and he took it upon himself
to.interfere in friendly way. The young
man was on board a steamer which had hel
smoke up for departure. The brother-in
law there found him; introduced himsel
politely, and in the most persuasive manner
in the world-namely. by putting one hanc
on the young mans shoulder, and with th,
other fumbling in his own coat pocket
asked him so step ashore and get married
The young gentleman awoke to a sense Q
his unjustness, and consented.
In half an hour he was married and haI
py ;'the brother-in-law acting sgroomsman
and wishing him joy when the ceremon
was over.
Now who is prophetic enought otell wbic
of the above marriages will end in th
greatest happiness.

The eSssmGre Williamson case.

We publish, in another column, a commune
cation from an esteemed correspondent, in re-
PLY to some editorial remarks we took occa-
sion to make in relation to the decision OF the
Supreme Court in the Williamson case. Our
correspondent does not relish those remarks,
though he does not pretend ''to gausay the
law of thr case as laid down by a majority Of
the Court - and concediug that point, as we
understand him to do, We feel at loss 10
know why be should find fault with our re-
marks on the subject. In the article referred
to, We confined ourselves to the case as ii was
presented to the Supreme Court for its deci-
sion Satisfied that that tribunal had no iu-
Fisdiction over it. and that il could not, with
out arrogatag 70 itself the exercise Of unau-
thorized and unwarrantrd power, step in be-
tween Williamson and Kane, ana release the
former from the clutches of the Iatter-sat-
isfied Of this we did not hesitate to express
our appreciation of the decision of the Court,
and commend the Judges for faithful discharge
of their duties. This was the utmost of our re-
marks. We neither expressed any admiration
for nor commendation of Judge Kane'S conduct.
Nor did we say aught condemnatory Of Pass
more Williamson. All we meant to do, and
we believe did, was to express our approval OF
the decision of the Supreme Court. and Com
