IMPORTANCE OF RECREATIoN.-Hon Ed
ward Everett, i'll great speech at Web
ster Festival, made the following admirable
remarks upon the importance of recreation
to our people,
The Americans, as people-at least the
professional and mercantile classes-have
too little considered the Importance of
healthful, generous recreation. They have
not learned the lesson contained in the very
word which teaches that the worn-out man
is re-credted made over again, by the sea-
sonable relaxation of the strained faculties
The old world learned this lesson years ago
and found out that as the bow always bent
will at last break, so the man forever on the
strain of thought and action, will at last &C
mad or break down. Thrown upon new
continent-eager to do the work of twenty
centuries in two-the Anglo-American pop
ulation has overworked itself From morn
ing to night-from January to December
brain and hands, eyes and fingers, the
power of the body and the power of the
mind are in spasmodic, merciless activity
There is no lack of few taSteless and soul
less dissipations which are called amuse-
ments, but noble athletic sports, manly out
door exercises, are too little cultivated III
town or country.

ROUNDING PERIoD.-A subscriber in
the West, remitting his annual subscrip-
tion-appends the following: esquire j.
recently aspired to represent this county in
the next Legislature, and in hopes of OBJ
tanning the nomination he seizes all favora-
bic opportunities to address the million. A
few nights since, there was caucus at the
school-house, when Squire j delivered
one of his fowery speeches, which termina-
ted somewhat as follows: 4 say, fellow
citizens, that the inalienable rights of man
are paramount and catamount to all others,
and he who cannot put his hand on his
heart, and thank God that nothing is rank
ling within, deserves to lie in a bed-in a
bed say, gentlemen, he deserves to lie
in a bed-in bed with cracker
crumbs in it, shouted out the shrill voice of
a person anious to round the period. The
laugh was tremendous, and it is doubtful if
The Squire gets the nomination. 1t is sup
posed the cracker crumb man is the father
of small family, and has experienced the
delights ofsuch a bed"

too young to speak for herself? Why, we
are all better now for riding with this little
one, and my word for it, you'll think of her
after you go home, too" Then, turning to
the widow, he asked her to whose house she
was going. When she answered him he
said: "Oh, it's too far to ride tonight with
the poor tired baby-stop and rest with us
grandmother will give even a strange ba-
by welcome-for we've just buried our
pet at home-my daughters little one. She
made the house very cheerful for US, but
she's gone; but not forgotten No; [ be-
lieve grandmother loves all babies better
since she died; so don't be afraid of intru-
ding.
Moved by such kindness, the widow, in
an under tone, told her painful errand to
her new friend.
"Ah, ha," he said, 'well, your relative is
a kind man, if you go to him just the right
way; and folks say | know how to manage
him as well as any. In the morning I'll
drive you over there and present your case
IN the most judicious manner. Never fear;
he will be kind to you; so keep up good
heart, my poor friend"
OfNANNlAC Ny GuCA ulIlOOACu-IOI
she wept out the tears which had all day
been gathering in their fountain, under the
cold looks and sarcastic words of those
around her.
Miss Trimmer, who when not in a hurry
or crowd, was really kind-hearted wo-
man, looked compassionately at the faint
effort the young widow made toward wear
ing black for the dead.
won't you call at my shop with the la
dy, as you go by in the morning, Mr.. Bond?"
she asked; Il should like to speak with her."
and again she glanced at the straw hat, with
its band of thin black ribbon, with an ex-
preston which promised a new one.
"Well, here we are. my friend, cried the
old man. as the coach stopped before an old
brown mansion, "and there is grandmother
in the door waiting for u.s."
The little belle offered to hold the baby
while the mother aighted, and the softened
Squire handed out her carpet bag and bas-
ket.
Good night crack went the whip
and the cheerful travellers rode on to their
own homes. Light and warmth, and a cor
dial welcome for the night, and prosperity
On the morrow, awaited the lonely widow;
'and all, so said her noble friend, "because
baby had tooth, and his little brother
told of it.' Salem Register.

standing near an old gentleman, quite an
aged man, over seventy | should think with
kind benevolent face. He seemed at
tracted by her beauty, and was talking to
her with pleased expression of interest
that made one love as well as reverence the
silver hairs upon his temples. But she
seemed uneasy. She did not attend to
what he was saying. He was no dandifed
youth who might ask her to ride, or take
her to Maillard's, or send her boquet, and
SO he was not worth wasting Ler time on.
Suddenly she interrupted him in the mid
die of a sentence with 81 beg your pardon,
sir, and turning her back upon him, COM
menced conversation with a fellow who
walks Broadway with his gloves half off
to show his diamond rings AS she took his
arm to promenade she caught the old gen.
tleman's look, surprised, hurt and aggrieved.
But no expression of regret came over her
countenance. Her head was carried as ca
silly as before, and her glance as bright. 1t
was enough for me. | never forgot Flora
Goodman's rudeness to that old man. To
say the least, there is nothing more I'M
graceful in young lady than any lack of
respect or attention to old age, and it shows
great want of something, radical defect
somewhere. The jig was up for that night;
and that, my dear fellow, is why did not
marry Flora Goodman"

TToNAN's DEvoTIoN.-In the whole range
of biography or history an example of wo-
mans devotion does not present itself than
that which we find in the life of Francis
Hubert, the naturalist. When quite young
he was sent by lis parents to the village Of
Stain for the recovery of his health, and
while rusticating he made the acquaintance
of Marie Lullin, beautiful girl of seven
teen, who was equally attracted to young
Hubert. The acquaintance had scarcely
commenced when Hubert was threatened
with the loss Of eyesight-which subse-
quently took place. In proportion, howev-
er, as the misfortune of the partner whom
she had chosen became certain, she regarded
herself as bound never to forsake him, and
to the threats Of parents and entreaties of
friends she remained impregnabe, and the
moment she attained her majority, she pre-
sented herself at the altar, leading, so to
speak, the spouse whom she had chosen
when he was happy and attractive. She
proved q wife worth having

A Cosmopolitan Horse.

We had not proceeded more than a quar-
ter of a mile on the road before long,
lean. lank. sharp-featured Yankee rose from
his seat at the forward end of the car, and,
pushing himself down by my side, exclaim'
ed:

not know exactly where that town was sit
uated, but was too shrewd to expose his ig-
norance by inquiring; so, after moments
reflection, he continued:

ductor, entering the car, warming up the
spirits of the passengers with his merry
face, and destroying the story of the cos
mopOlitan horse at the same moment.
Feeling little uneasy, probably about
being questioned too closely relative to the
horse, the Yankee soon after delivering his
ticket seated himself in the forward car,
and pumped out couple of old maids until
the arrival of the train at Sandusky, where
he, in company with about eighty others,
took passage for Cincinnati

An Affecting Scene.

1t was nearly midnight of Saturday night
that passenger came to Col. S., requesting
him to go to the cabin of a settler some
three miles down the river, and see his
daughter, girl of fourteen, who was sup
posed to be dying. Col. s. awoke me, and
asked me to accompany him. and consent
ed, taking with me the small package of
medicines which | always carried in the for
est; but [ learned soon there was no need of
these, for her disease was past cure.
She is a strange child said the Col;
her father is as strange man. They live
together alone on the bank of the river
They came here three years ago, and no one
knows whence or why. He has money, and
is keen shot. The child has been wasting
away fer year past. | have seen her oft
en-, and she seems gifted with a marvellous
intellect. She seems sometimes to be the
only hope Of her father
We had reached the hut of the settler in
less than half an hour, and entered it reyer-
emily.
The scene was one that cannot be easily
forgotten. There were looks and evidences
of luxury and taste lying on the rude table
near the small window, and the bed furni
ture, on which the dying girl lay, was as
soft as the covering of a dying queen.
was, of course, startled, never having heard
Of these people before; but knowing it to be
no uncommon thing for misanthropes to &C
into the woods to live and die, was con
tent to ask no explanations, more especially
as the death hour was evidently near.
She was fair child, with masses of lone
black hair lying over the pillow. Her eyes
were dark, piercing, and as they met mine
she started slightly, but smiled and looked
upward Ispoke few words to her faith
er, and turning to her, asked her if she
knew her condition?
4 know that my Redeemer liveth,' sale
she, in voice whose melody was like the
sweetest tones of an Eolian. You may i'm
agine that her answer startled me, and with
few words of like import, [ turned from
her. A half hour passed, and she spoke il
that same deep, richly melodiors voice:
Father. | am cold; lie down beside me-;
and the old man lay down beside his dying
child, and she twined her emaciated arms
around his neck, and murmured in dreamy
voice, Dear father, dear father
My child said the old man, doth the
flood seem deep to thee?'
Nay, father, for my soul is strong
'Seest thou the opposite shore?'
L see it, father; and its banks are greer
with immortal verdure.'
'Hearest thou the voices of its inhabi
tants?
L hear them, father, as the voices of an
gels, falling from afar in the still and sol
emn nighttime; and they call me. Moth
ers voice, too, father-oh, heard it them
Doth she speak to thee?'
She speaketh in tones most heavenly
Doth she smile?'
An angel smiles! But I am cold-colt
cold! Father, there's a mist in the room
Iod'll be lonely, lonely. Is this death
father?'

New AMALGAMAToR- Grass Valley
Telegraph gives description of a new
amaigamator, which has lately been brought
into use at that place. The Telegraph says:
The principle is equally applicable to
placer diggingS as to quartz. The trial
thus far has proved highly satisfactory. 1t
is placed outside of all the other amalga-
mating apparatus, where the tailings are
suffered to fall upon the ground and pass
away from the mill. The construction OF
the machine is such as to be susceptible Of
multiplication to an indefinite extent, and
requires but moderate fall. So fine is the
gold saved by this machine, that it only
yields fraction over $5 to the ounce Of
amalgum, the most of which would float
away upon the water. We shall give full
description of the machine, probably, in
our next issue.
