AN EVENING REVERE.

One rainy eve sat me down, beneath the murky
skies,
Where sleepy hogs were gruntinga and tobacco sheds
arise;
Where bulI-frogs sing the lOudest, and the lurid
VapOr shoots
thought was running through my mind, and water
through my boots;
And as a sudden thunder-clap far in the distance
4 sunk,
Once moreI reused up my ideas, and this was the
thought thunk:
Oh, is there not some happy land-a land beyond
the seas
Where pot-pie smokes in boundless lakes, and dump
Inns grow on treesH
Can gingerbread be found IN stacks, and smearkase
by the ton?
And when you do job of work, you get the "ready
John?"
Where Natures lesson may be read in every babblng
brook?
Where bumble-bees don't sting a chap, and muley
bulls don't hook?
Do people there get milk from COWS, much as from
thepumps2
Does chOlic ever come about, the measles OF the
mumps?
Do lovers fear for rival swans, to run them off the
track?"
And do they find the girls at home, and never get
the "sack?'
Do husbands bear upon their snOuts the mark Of
finger nails?
Do lambs skip DER the yerdant hills, and wag their
woOlly tails?
And in that land that's far away, do mad dogs ever
bite?
Can "green Oues see the Elephant" at fifty cents
sight?
Do scents of oysters reach ones nose, upon each
passing breeze? -.
Do people fear for bed-bugs there, or dream Of
+ feas?
Do trousers rip without cause, or brogans eVel
pinch your corns?
And does the whisky make you ''yorked" at half q
dozen "horns?'
As if that land were nigh, there came strange and
pleasing smell;
And then upon my list'ning ear the sound of foot
steps fell;
At length heard a deep-tOned voice, which seemed
to.mutter "Ayev'
1 looked around-it was goat-it only hOIlereG
"Bahv'
My tFain of thought was broken Off-my happy
vision fed
quickly hustled to my feet, and scalnpered off t.
bed

A "BU1LYu CHARGE.

The Knickerbocker is responsible
for the following "charge" given by a
Justice Of the Peace, in a certain Re
.plevin case. The "Charge of the
Light Brigade" was circumstance, .
in comparison:
"Gentlensen Of the Jury: This is an
action of repleyin, brought BY
against -, for the purpose of OBJ
tanning the canal boat Ocean Wave,
No. Two, levied on by said -, as
the property of said -. I shall
charge you as to the mode of constru-
ing evidence, namely: If you have
reason to believe that any witness in
this case has wilfully, mahciously, de-
iberately and contrary to the peace
and dignity of the State of Ohio, sworn
to that which is false in single in
stance you are bound to believe that
he has lied throughout"
Mr., B, for plaintiff, inquired
"What if he be corroborated?"
The Court with much dignity re-
piled: "wait till | am done"
"And if you should find the afore
mentioned witness is corroborated OF
sustained in any particular by any
other witness you are bound to believe
that said last named witness lied also
in every particular of his statement! ]
am also requested to charge you thai
you find in your verdict the value oi
the property at issue.
CATER some deliheratinn I have con.
cluded not to do that but will simply
say: if you find, in your finding, what.
ever at that time you may find; on the
other hand, gentlemen, if you find, il
your finding, that you have not founG
your will not have found-in you
fnding-what you ought to have found
Now gentlemen, you have heard the
testimony of the witnesses, the argu.
ments of cOunsels and nly charge. Take
the case.''

ONE THAT NEVER THANKED GOD.

In.the days when German rational
ism began to send its floods of ruinous
infdelity over the old German land,
one of those humanity illuminated wor-
shippers of reason instead of God in
Christ, came in his journeyings to the
humble house of an old-fashioned,
sturdy German farmer, who, with a
firm devotion, held fast to the faith
and piety of his ancestors. The con-
ceited, unbelieEing iJlIminatus had,
everywhere among the villagers, met
the ancient, child-like faith and religi-
GUS devotion. AS usual, he had been
talking glibly to'his grave host, of the
folly of the old Bible faith, the non
sense of prayer, and thousand SINH
lar topics of the infdel philosophers
of the hour. When they sat down to
their evening meal, the host reverently
returned thanks to God, the giyer of
all good, for the food before them
When they began to eat, the guest re-
marked:
"You are very pious still, in this
region; l believe every body here yet
prays?'
"By no means," said the good old
Christian, call do not pray and give
thanks; | know of an exception;
have a pig in my sty that never thanks
God before eating"

CRADLE AND ARM CHAIR,

In his Thanksgiving sermon sketch
edin the Tribune, Henry Ward Beecher
said, "No house is complete without
two pieces of furniture-the cradle and
the old arm chair. No house is full
that hath not in it babe and grand
father or a grandmother. Life becomes
more radiant and perfect when it's two
extrrmes keep along with it. The two
loves who watch the cradle and serve
the chair are one. But how different
in all their openings and actions. To
the child the heart turns with more
tenderness Of love. To the aged parent,
love is borne upon series of reverence.
Through the child you look forward
through the parent backward. In the
child you see hopes, joys to come,
brave ambition, and a life yet to be
drawn forth in all its many-sided ex-
perience. Through the silver haired
parent you behold the past, life done,
its scene enacted, its histories register
ed. IF God calls you to follow your
child, you send it to heaven that God
may rear it for you, saying, take it, oh,
Father, too soon snatched away, and
keep it; and keep me till the WEAKNESS
of life is ended, and l go too.
But when the parent goes, ripe in
years, his life blameless, his fruit
gathered and garnered, we give his

THE BOY OF THE TIMES.

We like an active boy, says the
Soatthren Organ, one who has the i'm
pulse of the age-the steam-engine-
in him. A lazy, plodding, snail-paced
chap might have got along in the world
fifty years ago, but he won't do for
these times. We live in an age of
quick ideas: men think quickly, speak
quickly, eat, sleep, court, marry, die,
quickly, and slow coaches are not tOle-
rated. Go ahead If y0u aE youI
boiler" is the motto Of the age; and
he succeeds the best in every line of
business who has the most of do or
die in him.
Strive, boys to catch the spirit of
the timess be up and dressed always,
not gaping and rubbing your eyes as if
you were half asleep, but wide awake,
whatever may turn up-and you may
be somebody before you die.
Think, plan, reflect as much as you
please, before you act; but think quickly
and closely, and when you have fixed
your eyes upon an object, spring to the
mark at once.
But above all things be honest. II
you intend to be an artist, carve it in
the wood, chisei it in the marble; if a
merchant, write it in your day-boOk
and spread it in capitals in your ledger.
Let honesty of purpose be your guild
ing star.

ANGELS IN PETTICoATs.-A funny
correspondent Of the Portland Tran
script, says:
81 have recently gin up all idea Of
women folks, and come back to parliti-
kal life. I am more at home in this
line than in huntin' the fair sects.-
Aingills in petticots an "kiss me
quicks" is pretty to look at, I gin in,
but darn 'em, they are slippery as eels,
and when you fish for 'em and get a
bite, you some how or other find your
self at the wrong end of the line, they've
cotched you! An when you've stuffed
'em with peanuts, candy, and dogger-
types, they viii throw you away as
they would cold tater. LeastWise,
that's bin my experience. But I've
done with 'em now. The Queen Of
Sheber, the sleepin' beauty, Kleopatry' s
needle, Pompey's piller, an Lots
wife, with a steam engine to help 'emi
couldn't tempt me. The very sight Of
bonnet riles me all over"

A friend of ours thus eulogizes his
musicalattainments: 81 know two tunes
the one is Aud Lang Syne, the other
isn't; [ always sing the latter"
Voltaire defined a physisian as an
unfortunate gentleman, expected every
day to perform a miracle; namely, to
reconcile health with intemperance.
Old Joe Bartlett honestly says
"To see an old man with one foot in
the grave and the other quiverfng on
the brink, laughing at morals and ridi-
cuIng religion, is the most detestable
picture of human depravity which the
heart can conceive, or the imagination
point"
tits the distinguishing characteristic
of merit, to be ever active in laudable
persuits.
There is meaning in all things.
Even virtue itself hath it's limit, beyond
which it ceases to be virtue.
If men wish to be held in esteem,
they must associate with those only
who are estimable.
Ifyou would have thing kept secret
never tell it to any one; and if you
would not have thing known Of you,
never do it.
The happiest man in the world is the
man with just wealth enough to keep
him in spirits and just children enough
to make him Industrious.
When you get into fit of passion
just walk out into the air, you may
speak your mind to the winds without
hurting any one or proclaiming your
self a simpleton.
Punch, sometime since, said lady's
bOnnetwasa 'pretender to the crown"
1t is H'pretty much the same" yet only
| it has an addition, this Spring, of a
pigeon tail attached, widely spread out
over the neck and shoulders.
Justice may be defined as that virtue
which impels us to give every person
what is his due.-G0ldsmith.

ceiYes the best usage from them who
never invited it.-THOmas Fuller.

NOT HIS MOTHER.

There was apine coffin borne through
the drifting SHOWS. At the graves
verge the lid was thrown back, and the
face of the sleeper was revealed. It
was face marked with time and care
was not a lire of beauty in it;
it was the countenance Of a poor, plain,
old woman. And yet / heard bitter
sobs and choking sighs not far from
my elbow, and looking up saw the
chlaren of the deceased approaching
to take the last look at face which
was dear and beautiful to them. The
affections never yet clung to an object
without investing it with degree Of
lovehness, and was there ever q kind,
gentle mother, who was not beautiful
in her children's estimation!
The hair which is tucked away under
the muslin cap, may be thickly thread
ed with silver-the forehead may be
furrowed, and the eye lustreless, still
it is associated in the mind of the
child, with love which never slumber-
ed, and a gentleness which nothing
could ruffle.
How carelessly the sexton tramped
around the grave, treading the fresh
earth in among the new fallen snowl
1t was not his mother he was burrying
you could see that at glance-it
was a poor, plain old woman; almost q
pauper. The cords ratified, and the
clods afterward rumbled. Heaven COM
fort the motherless, in such an hour as
that!

PRINTERS PROVERBS.

Never inquire thou of the editor the
news, for behold it his duty at the ap-
pointed time to give it unto thee for
five cents.
When thou dost write for his paper,
never say unto hiln-"What thinkest
thou of my piece?'' for it may be that
the truth would offend thee.
1t is not fit that thou shoulds ask him
who is the author of an article, for his
duty requires him to keep such things
to himself.
When thou dost enter into his Office,
take heed unto thyself that thou dost
not look at what may be lying open,
for it is not meet in the sight of good
breeding. Neither examine the proof
sheet, for it is not ready to meet thine
eyes, that thou mayest understand it.
Prefer thine own county paper to
any other, and subscribe Immediately
for it and pay in advance, and it will
be well with thee and thy little ones.

THE HOUR OF PRAYER.
Ny God! is any hour so sweet,
From blush Of morn to evening star,
As that which calls me to thy feet,
The hour of prayer?
Blsst is that tranquil hour Of morn,
And best that hour Of solemn eve,
When on the wings Of Igaysr upbogne,
The world leave!
For then a daySpring shines on me,
Brighter than morn's ethereal glow;
And richer dews descend from thee
Than earth can know.
Then is my strength by thee renewed;
Then are my sins by thee forgiven;
Then dOst thou cheer my solitude
With hope of heaven.
No words can tell what sweet relief,
There for my every want / find,
What strength for warfare, balm for grief,
What peace Of mindl
flushed is,,each'dOubt; gone every fear;
My spirit seems in heaven to stay;
And cen the penitential tear
Is wiped away.
Lord! till reach yOn blissful shore,
No privilege so dear shall be,
As thus my inmOst soul to pour
In prayer to thee.

JOHN BUNYAN's FLUTE.-The fut,

JOHN BUNYAN's FLUTE.-The flute
with which John Bunyan beguiled the
tediousness of his captive hours, is now
in the possession of Mr.. Howells,
tailor, Gainsborough. In appearance
it does not look unlike the leg of a
stool-out of which it is said that Bun
yam, while in prison manufactured it.
When the turnkey, attracted by the
sound of music, entered his cell to as
certain, if possible, the cause of the
harmony, the flute was replaced in the
stool, and by this means detection was
ayoided.-LdncOZushire (Eng.) Times.

OCEANIC MOUNTAINS.

The portion of our globe that is
covered with water is now just begin
ming to be made familiar to us. The
persons who have been foremost and
most instrumental in searching out the
causes of the various phenomena of
the sea, that are so well known and so
little understood, are our countrymen,
ProfessorBache and Lieutenant Maury.
The former, in lecture which he lately
delivered upon the subject, says that
the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean is
traversed by arrange of mountains,
similar to the chain running some
distance back from the coast, and the
Gulf Stream pursues its way over the
tops of these ridges, and evidently
bears some intimate relation to them.
In the gorges of these mountains are
found strips of cold water, from the
north, and water is found even so far
down as latitude 20 degrees south only
30 degrees Of temperature. These
cold streams run in exactly an opposite
direction to the warmer currents, which
prevail in the Gulf Stream, that is to
say, they run from northeast to south
west. Professor Bache could not
pretend to say in what manner this
knowledge of the differences in tenn
perature may be made available for
commercial or other purposes.
