PARODY.

Oh don't you remember the boys, Ben Bolt,
| The boys with noses so red,
Who drank with delight whenever they met,
And always went drunk to beds
In the old graveyard, in the edge of the town,
In corners obscure and lone,
They have gone to rest, and the gay young sprig
Have dropped off one by one?
Oh don't you remember the jug, Ben Bolt,
And the<pring at the foot of the hill,
Where oft we've lain in the summer hours,
And drank to our utmost fill
The spring is filed with mud sBen Bolt;
And the wild hogs root around
And the good old jug, and its whiskey sweet,
Lies broken and spld on the ground.
Oh! don't you remember the tavern Ben Bolt,
And the bar-keeper, kind and true,
And the little nook, at the end of the bar,
Where we swallowed the rum he drew?
The tavern is burnt to the ground, Ben Bolt,
The bottles are cracked and dry,
And of all the boys" who "spreed" it there,
There remain but "you and I"

THE REINDEER AND THE SEAL.

Probably there il no animal that can be found
upon our globe which is more absolutely nec-
essary TO The existence Of a race OF men, than is
the Lapland reindeer, or the Greenland SEAL
In the reindeer The Laplander finds nearly all his
wants supplied. They furnish him with food
and clothing their skins cover his tents and
form his bed of their milk he makes cheese
and the whey which remains he considers re-
freshng beverage; from their sinews he manu-
factures bow strings, bird snares and thread for
sewing. Their horns he sells to be converted
Into glue; their skins also, and tongues, which
are esteemed great dclicacy, are sent TO Eu-
rope and exchanged for comforts and luxuries ;
and then the reindeer yoked TO sledge and
guided by light cord attached to his horns or
by The voice OF his driver, conveys his master
through The longest and most difficult journeys,
and when hard driven will run fifty or sixty miles
without stopping. The only food which this
faithful domestic requires is moss, and the Lap.
lander receives more pleasure from the conem.
pla,on Of single field clothed with this essen
,al article, than he would experience from wit
Messing the richest and most beautiful landscape
of a Southern zone.
But not less important than the reindeer to
Lapanders is the seal to the Greenlanders.-
Its flesh supplies them with substantial food 4;
its fat furnishes oil for lamp light and kitchen
fire. and is used rs sauce in their culinary affairs
the oil is also highly valuable rs an article OF
traffic, and is barered for all kinds Of necessa-
res. With the fibers Of its sinews the Green
landers can accomplish the finest sewing. A
portion of the enlrals are used for windows and
doors (resembling ground glass in utility as
well rs in appearance) as well as for shirts, and
the bladders they attach to their harpoons.-
Even the blood, when boiled with o'ler ingredi-
ents, is used as soup For want Of iron the
bones were formerly manufactured into all sorts
Of domestic implements and working tools, and
their skins used for covering their tents, ma
king their boats, clothing. and many other artl-
ces.

Immortality, the execution Of which was worthy
of the composition, and the old anthem" Child
of Mortaiiy"-which carried all away by the
majesty and force Of its meodous power. The
four parts were admirably represented, in the
execution Of the last piece by Messrs. llsley
(bass,) Greeley (tenor) Mrs. Branscromb (treb-
le,) and Mr.. Bosson (allo). II may seem invid-
ous TO praise any particular ones where all were
so good, but the ones named were especially
conspicuous in solos, which were given with
much beauty.
The concert closed with "Old Hundred" in
which The audience joined most heartily. During
its performance, the high backed pews of the
old church, the singing seats,the sounding board,
the gown and bands Of old formality, the ward
ems and lithing men, all swept, like the spirits of
Kossuth's countrymen, before our gaze, and the
years that came between, with their changes,
were momenarily forgotten to be recalled by
the drum and fife of fire company taking an
evening airing outside
The evening was as pleasant n one rs we ever
passed. MIR. Slow, who was present, said il was
worth all the Italian operas, allho' it was doubt
ed if he had ever heard one.
Old singers whD had sat in the "seats" fifty
years ago, couldn't keep still. but beat time and
surg with the rest, and Col. Fay, more conspic
nous than any one else; sang all over. From
boots TO cooked hat he was one mass of music.
He sung in every hair, in every figure of his
body; in every article Of his clothing.

CASTING "DEvIL" OUT or CHURcH-A
Methodist Minister Arrested for Assaulting a
Distiller.-We arc indebted 10 our friend, J.
NJ. Eells, of Marietta, Ohio, for the following
graphic sketch We are assured that the facts
transpired substantially as narrated:
"a methodist clergyman who has been Ia
boring in this vicinity, was, not long since,
preaching to his people on the miraculous pow
er of the Apostles over the demonac spirits of
their day. AS he was pursuing his theme, the
audience were suddenly startled by voice from
some one in the congregation, demanding, in
= halfquerulous half.authoratve tone, WHY
don't preachers do such things now-a.days? In
an instant every eve in the house was turned
upon the individual who had the effrontery thus
10 invade the sacredness Of their sanctuary
"The speaker paused for moment, and fix.
ed his penetrating gaze full upon the face OF
the ques,ioner. There was an interval of in.
tense silence, broken at last by the speaker in
resumng his subject. He had not proceeded
far with his remarks, before he was again inter.
rnpted by the same imperlinent inquiry. Again
he paused for time, and again resumed his
subject. Not content with silent rebuke, our
redoubtable questioner demanded again, why
don't the preachers do such things now.a.daysH
and curling his lips with sneer of sefcompla.
cency, drew himself up pomponsly in his seat
"Our reverend friend (who, by the way, is
young man Of great muscular power) calmly left
the desk, and walked deliberately to the pew,
where the interrogation sat, and, fastening one
hand firmly upon the collar of his coat, the 9th.
er upon the wastband of his unmentionables.'
lifted him square ont of the seat, and bore him
down the aisle to the entrance. Pausing for a
moment there, he turned his eyes upon his au.
dieace, and in clear, full voice, said, And they
cast out the devil in the form of distiAer,' and
shifting The action 10 the word, out went the
knight of the mash tub, leap-frog fashion, into
the street
"'The good pastor quietly returned to his
desk, and completed his discourse. After clos
ing the services, rs he was passing out of the
church, the out cast distller, with an officer Of
the law, escorted our clerical friend to the office
OF a magistrate, to answer for an assault upon
the person Of said disier After hearing the
case, the magistrate dismissed the clergyman,
and roundy reprimanding the complainant, fin
cd him for molesting the services of the sanctu-
airy.
"Since that day we believe he has never for
a moment doubted the power OF Methodist
preachers TO cast out DEVILS at leastswithin the
Ohio Conference"

HEART-HOMES.

Genius hath its trumphs; fame its glories;
wealth its splendors success its bright reward;
but the heart only hath its home.
Home only! What more needeth the heart
what more can it gain? A true home Is more
than the world--morc than honor, and pride and
fortune; more than all Of Earth can give, tho
how much less; the light the MONDAY summary
not yield, and yet the tiny flame one pure beam
OF love enkindleth, and sympathy maketh to burn
forever.
Home, how more than beautiful thou art!
how like an unlaught religion--a golden link
between the soul and Heaven, when the pres
ence of pure hearts makes thee radiant, aud the
music of their affection floats, like the chorals
Of unseen cherubm, around thy tranquil hearth
Homes with hearts in them are the teliural
Paradise, whence there is no expulsion in which
there is no forbidden sweet; where the tree of
knowledge bears the fruit Of peace, and the a.
ward oflove. The hardened form Of sin pauses
at their portal, anxious TO spoil the fair peace
within; but Mercy holdeth her grateful vigil
there, and her gentle tears turn the arch.fos
away.
Within such homes ever reigns content, and
sparkles the reviving fount, whose magic wa
lers can lave the wearied spirit into new born
strength, and despondency into rosy hope
again.
Even the air of such hath its falling bless
ings; and blossoms which the outward sense
perceiveth not, ope in fragrance; and their soft
petals rest, with the power of prayer, against
the soul, seeking shelter in their delicious qui-
etness.
Bulwarked with congenial affection against
the clash Of the external World, and defended
by virtuous truslfuness from the vicious fcvers
and the false struggles without, the sharer Of
true Heart Home forges the flushed to- morrow,
and carking cares are rocked 10 rest on the warm
bosom OF sympathetic love.
The night.shadows of everyday life fall not
upon the roof of his tranquil home; and the
rough winds of ordinary existence rattle not at
his myrtle bound easement. The unshaded hour
is Away in his bosom, and CLEANS out upon his
home in a flood of rayfuncss that no cloud can
obscure.
Rich visions rise and float away, and rise
again for aye in the holy temple of beloved
home, with an amending splendor; and tho
heart which there worships and is worshipped
in return, hearkens unto self.created hymns with
rapture, and wonders at their melody.
That heart, commingled with the soul that
dies not, WILL when the disc of time dims in the
glory of eternity, hear those hymns again; and
the liberated spirit will rejoice that the harps Of
Heaven first reached il with their symphonies
amid the holiness Of its earth formed Home.

tie bare legs very cold with these lace ruhes
they are not half so nice rs black Jim's wooden
stockings. Wish had little pair of warm
rubbers. Wish had n long sleeved apron for
my bare arms and neck; wish might push my
corls out of my eyes, or have them cut off,
Wish my dress would stay upon my shoulders,
and that it was not too nice for inc t0 get on the
floor and play nine-pins. Wish my mamma
would go TO walk with me sometimes, instead
Of Betty. Wish she would not premise me
something "very nice" and then forget all about
it. Wish she would answer my questions, and
not always say, "Dont bore me, Freddy
Wish when we 60 to the country, she wouldn't
make me wear my gloves, lest | should stan
my hands" Wish she would not tell me that
all the pretty flowers will poison me;''
wish could tumble on the hay and 90 into the
barn and see how Dobbin eats his supper
Wish could make pretty dirt pies. Wish
there was not bit Of lace or satin, or silk, in
the world. Wish knew what makes mamma
look so smiling at aunt Emma's children (who
comes here in their papa's carriage,) and so very
cross at my poor little cousins, whose mother
works so hard and cries so much. Wish knew
what makes the clouds stay up in the sky, and
where tho stars go in the daytime. Wish
could get over that high hill, where the bright
sun is going down, and just touch it with my
finger Wish | did not keep thinking Of things
that puzzled me, when nobody will stop TO tell
me the reason for anything. If | ask Betty,
she says, Don't be fool Freddy" wonder
if Betty knows much herself! wonder why
mama don't love her own little boy? Iwonder
when | am grown man, if | shall have to look
nice all the time, and be so tired of doing
nothing! [Ove Branch

A MOTHERS PRAYER.-A mother had heard
of the arrival Of her sailor boy outside the Cape
and was awaiting his return with the anxiety a
mother alone can know. With faith strong in
God, she prayed for his safety. News came that
the vessel was lost
The father, an unconverted man, who had
preserved sullen silence, now wept aloud
The mother observed :" lie is in the hands of
Him who doelh all things WE'LL" and again the
subdued and softened spirit bowed. commencing
her son and her husband, in an audible voice, to
God.
In the morning, the little gate in front of the
dwelling turned on its hinges, the door opened,
and their son. their lost, loved son. stood before
them. The vessel had been driven into one Of
the harbors on the coast, and was safe. The
father rushed TO meet him. His mother, hang.
ing on his neck, earnestly exclaimed "my child
how came you here!" "Mother," said he as
the tears coursed down his sun.burnt face, " /
knew you'd pray me home"
What spectacle Wild reckless youth, nc.
knowledging the efficacy of prayer. 1t seems
he was aware Of his perious situation, and that
he labored with the thought" My mother prays;
christians prayers are answered, and may be
saved" This reflection, when almost exhausted
with fatigue, and ready to give up in despair,
gave him fresh strength, and with renewed cour-
age he labored Till the harbor was gained.
| Christian mother, pray for that son who is
likely TO be wrecked in the storm Of life, and his
prospects be blasted forever. He ye: may be
saved.

THINGS THAT LIKE "PowERFULLY."-I like
TO hear candidates for office agree in politics with
every man they converse witl-i. looks so much
like principle.
like to hear men denounce others for things
Of which they themselves are guilty-it looks
so much like consistency
like TO see young women peep through the
windows or the cracks of half opened doors, to
catch glimpse of the young men and when they
come in their presence appear over mOdest-it
is so admirable
! like to sec plenty of churches yet having no
ministers to preach in them-it looks so much
like wise disposition Of charity's funds.
like to see parcel Of young men stand be-
fore n church door Mt the close of service, and
stare every female full in the face as they pass
QUIT looks so much like good breeding.
like 10 see woman out in the morning scra-
ping up chips to build fire and her husband in
bed--it shows she thinks more Of him than she
does of herself
like to see n merchant and mechanic keep
their shop doors and windows closed until the
sun is an hour or two hight shows they are
independent and ask no favors Of their custom
ers
like to see young women walk the street on
Sundays in their silks, with holes in their stock
ings--it shows that they are more attentive to
things above than below.
like to see men crowd around the bar room
on Monday morning before sunrise--it shows
their anxiety to get at their weeks employment
in good season.
like to sec women send their butter to mar.
ket in dirty cloth--it shows economy, as it
saves washing.
