THE MERRY SLEIGH.

By LIEUT.. PATTES, U. s. y.
Jingle, jingle, clear the way,
'Tis the merry, merry sleigh.
As it swiftly scuds along,
Hear the burst of happy song;
See the glca,n of glances bright,
Flashing o'er the pathway white;
Jingle, jingle-how it whirls,
Crowded full of laughing girls.
Jingle. jingle-fast it flies,
Shooting shafts from roguish eyes
Careless archers I'll be bound.
Little needing whom they wound;
See them with capricious pranks,
Ploughing now the drifted banks,
Jingle, jingle-mid the giee,
Who among them cares for me?
Jingle. jinglc--on they fiow,
Caps and bonnets white with snow,
And the faces swimming past
Nodding through tho feecy blast;
Net single robe they fold
To protect them from the cold.
Jingle, jingle-'mid the storm,
Fun and fr,lic keeps them warm.
Jingle, jingle down the hill,
Ger tho meadows. past tho mill,
Now tbs slow. now tits fast,
Winter will not always last;
Every pleasure has its time,
Spring viii come and stop the chime.
Jingle. jingle-clear the way,
IT'S the merry, merry sleigh.

MUTATIONS OF MATTER.-It is stated In an
interesting article, recently published in the
Scientific .4merieGn, that, with very near APP
Proclamation to truth, the human family inhab-
iting the earth has been estimated at 200, ,00O,-
600; the annual loss by death is lo,000,0OU.
Now the weight of the animal matter OF this
immense body cast in the grave, is no less
than 92i 600 tons, and by its decomposition
produces 1900, ,000, 100000 cubic feet ofgas-
eous matter. The vegetable productions of
the earth clear away from the atmosphere thus
generated, decomposing and assimilating them
for their own increase. This cycle Of changes
has been going on ever since man became an
occupier of the earth. He feeds on the lower
animals, and on the seeds of plants, which, in.
due time. become part of himself The love-
animals feed upon the herbs and grasses, v1Ic|
in their turn, become the animal; theubf IL
death, pass again into the atmosphere, aud arg
ready once more to be assimilated by plants:
the earthy or body substance alone reTnafni0x
where it is deposited; and not even this, M
less sufficiently deep in the soil to be outcf
the absorbant reach OF the roots of plants and
trees. Nothing appears moro canibalizing a5|
to see flock of sheep grazing in country
church yard, knowing it to be IN undeniable
fact, that the grass they cat has been nurtured
by the gaseous enlanations from our immedi-
ate predecessors /; then following up the fact
that this said grass is actually assimilated by
the animal, and becomes mutton, whereof we
may perhaps dine next week. Truth is stran-
ger than fction,' and here is q truth that ex
emplifes the proyerb. 1t is not at all difficult
to prove that the elements Of which the living
bodies OF the present generation are composed,
have all passed through millions of mutations.
and formed parts Of all kinds OF animal and
vegetable bodies, in accorddnce with tAc un-
erring law of nature, and consequently, we
may say with truth, that fractions OF the ele-
ments of our ancestors form part Of ourselves.

Juvenile Agricultural Society.

We have been highly gratified in reading
an account published in She last number Of
the GeHesee Farmer OF an Agricultural So.
ciety got Up 10y some boys and girls in Ohio.
We give the following abridcement Of tho
account as given that paper.
The Society was established in 1850, and
called the Greene Township Agricultural
Society" ana is conducted by young men,
or rather By Juveniles uader tweEty.on
years of age, (nonc over that age being a.
lowed full membership
Their annual exhibition this year took
place in the town CT Chcviot, Hamilton
county, Ohio, and they made an exhibition
they may well be proud Of Both fruits and
vegetables were exceedingly fine, and the
handiwork Of the young women especially
admired.
!, was first organized by hve boys. They
held their first exhibition in small cottage,
and the total number of members was tif-
teen. Next year they built booth for theic
increasing wants, 40 feet by Is. This year
QS55) they had 10 members. Finding that
their booth was not large enough to accom-.
modate them, they built for their next cxhi-
bition booth in the shape Of cross 100
feet by So, They still use the same tent,
putting it up and taxing it down themselves
every year. This year their member list
shows l25 names, aud they are starting Ii
brary for the of the Society.
We think the Ohdboys have set noble
example TO the boys Of the United Siatcs.-
These young persons who have thus united
TO improve themselves in agri. ultural and
other industrial arts will irnbbc sentiment Is
and obtain knowledge that Will be valuable
to them all their lives, and through them be
valuable to the Country
Mr.. Rossley, who communicated this in.
formation to the Genesec Farmer, thus says
Of it: This Society is an honor to the
members and community. Conducted by
young men as that society is, think it can
not but improve and make them better able
to take the place Of their fathers; .or it is to
young men that this country uGs; look to
see carried ut the more enlightened princi.

FoNDSEss OF GREAT Men FOR CHILDREN

FoNDSEss OF GREAT Men FOR CHILDREN
Richter says that the man is to be Stunned
who does not love the society of children
Henry w. was passlonately fond OF them,
and delightct in their little gambolS ana ca
prices One day, when crawling around his
room on all fours, on his hands and knees,
with the Dauphin on his back, and the other
children about him, urging the King to gal
op in imitation of horse, an Ambassador
suddenly entered and surprised the royal IA
miiy in the midst of their fun. Henry,
without rising to his feet, asked:
"Have you children, Mr.. Ambassador ?"
"Ycs, SIR"
ain that case proceed with the sport,
replied the King.
The Duke of Wellington was exceedingly
fond Of children, and was general favorite
with them. He enjoyed their gambols, took
part in them, and was constantly presenting
them with little kcep-sakcs and presents
The opera was his chief amusement, and he
was frcquenter of both houses, as well as
of the ancient and first class concerts.
Napoleon, like Wellington, was fond oI
children. lie used to take the infant King
of Rome in his arms, and standing in front
of mirror with him there he made the odd
est crinaces in the glass. vt breakfast he
would take the child upon his knee, dip his
finger in the sauce, and daub his face with
it; the child almost always pleased, appear
ed to delight in the rough caresses of his IA
ther. Those who on such occasions had q
favor to solicit from the Emperor were al
most sure of being favorably received.

EASTERN SAGACITY.-The Sultan of W ada

round in the rear of the Eorian army and
interposed between them and their country.
They believed, however, tina. he was utterly
routed, and loudly expressed their joy
One yiZer remained silent, and on being ask
cd by his master why he did not share in the
general JOY; replied that he did not believe
in this easy victory, and offered to prove
that the enemy's army was even then
marching toward them.
How wilt thou do this z" said the Sultan.
Bring me she camel, replied the vi
zer with 4 man that knows how 20 milk.
The camel was brought and well washed,
and the milk was drawn into a clean bow,
and placed with man to guard il, on the
top Of the Su!tans tent.
Next morning the vizer caused the bowl
to be brought to him, and found the mi X
quite black So he went to the Sultan and
said
Master, they are coming down upon US,
and have marched ali night
.How dost thou know that :"
Look at the biackcned milk"

The dust raised by the feet of the horses
has been carried by the wind :"
Some laughed at this explanation, but
others believed it and looked anxiously to.
