CnARGTY.--Night kissed the young
rose, and it bent softly to sleep. Stars
shone, and pure dewdfops hung upon
its bosom, and watched its sweet slum-
bers. Morning came with It's dancing
breezes, and they whispered to the
young rose, and it awokc joyous and
smiling. Lightly it swung to and fro
in all the lovelincss of health and youth.
ful innocence. Then came the ardent
sun god, sweeping from the east, and
smote the young rose with its scorch-
ing rays, and it tainted. Deserted and
almost heart broken, it dropped to the
dust in its loveiness and desp 'ir. Now
the gentle brcez', which had been gam
boiling over the sea, pushing on the
hoinc bound bark, sweeping over hill
and dale, by the neat cottage and still
brook, turning the old mill, tanning
the brow Of disease and trisking the
curls Of Innocent childhood, came trip
ping alorg on her errands of mercy
and love, and when she saw the young
rose she hastened to kiss it, and fnndly
bathod its head in cool, refreshing show
ers, and the young rose revived, and
looked and smiled in gratitude to the
kind breeze; but she hurried quickly
away, for she soon perceived that de-
licious fragrance hid been poured on
her wings by the grateful ros", and the
kind breeze was glai in heart, aud went
away singing through the trees. Thus
charity, like the breez", gathers fra
GRANGE from the dropping flowers it re-
freshes, and unconsciously reaps II re
ward IN the performance OF lis office of
kindness, which steals on the heart
like rich perfume, to bless and to cheer.

OF our country, which, when considered with
reference to the enlightenment of our mass,
and the good order and intelligence likely to
prevail in all classes of society, as the result
of their universal diffusion and very liberal
encouragement, cannot be too highly estima-
ted. They exist in delightful unison with our
other republican institutions, and reflect their
true character. In no other land are the
springs SO abundant whence flow copious
streams of political, social and personal hap
piness.
Then, permit me, not only to recommend,
but to urge You to engage with earnes:ness and
assiduity In the noble and worthy enterprise
which you have commenced. Drink deep at
the crystal fonnt. Let not your present priv
ileges pass unimproved. The season which
you now call your own viii soon have passed
forever. The wheel of time will sh ortly carry
you and it into the shades and realms of de-
parted glory. Upon you will soon dcvolve the
anxieties and cares belonging to and insepara-
bic from the duties of administering the af-
fairs of your country. The liberties purchas-
ed by the blood of your ancestors will be en-
trusted to your guardianship and protection
The ranks of philosophers, statesmen and d.
vines will soon have to be supplied from your
number. Prepare yourselves, then, nolc, for
these anticipated duties and responsibilities.
Let no morality be neglected, but let every ef-
fort be Sanctified by the influences of strictly
religious principles, and conscience approving,
gather laurels upon the mount of virtue and
intelligence, and yours win be pleasant lifo
and happy death.

of the falsehoods in the world. There are lies
of custom and lies of fashion lies of padding
and lies of whalebone lies of the first water

like circus rider, strides two horses at once;

gerdemain, keeps six plates dancing at time;
lies sandwiched between bargains; lies in liv-
cry behind republican coaches, in all the pomp

As stars see them not, although the skies
Arc brilliant with their light; all arc forgot,
And Fancy in them sees alone thine eyes
Dark globes of beauty, floating bright and clear,
Amid their pure and liquid atmosphere.
The sound of waters and the song of birds,
In youth and spring were joyous to my ear;
Br-t now hear in them alone thy words,
Soft as that music, to my heart more dear;
L thee feel again my youth and spring,
And in thy whisper hear the May-birds sing
Oh tell me not how sweet the breath of kline,
How fresh the rose, how fair the Iily's bloom
No petals check is fresh or fair like thine
Thy breath Is sweeter than the hays perfume

On BREEDING HoRsRs.-Thcrc Is probably n
greater amount of carelessness and indifference
about securing good or an improved breed
Of horses than there is about COWS, cattle and
sheep. There are probably too greater num-
Dor Of imperfect or third rate animals OF this
species than of any other. At all events, We
think that in the course of one days calling
on our neighbors-or the farmers of any neigh
borhood-we could find ten cows or oxer which
would suit us, or fifty sheep, for one horse
which We would wish to own. One reason of
this may be that NE kill off or sell off poor
calves and poor lambs, while we never dispose
of colt in the same summary way. Another
reason, probably, is that farmers generally
seem to consider any shape or sort of an ami
NAL, on the female side, good enough to breed
from. Accordingly, old, broken-dowa, in
Jured and diseased mares are frequently en-
ployed for this purpose. For this traditional
notion, and the practice founded upon it, il
would perplex any of its votaries 10 render a
good and valid reason. 1t seems to require
no great amount of proof TO make it credible,
on the other hand, that the value or tho pro
geny depends fully as much, if not more, on
the dam than on the sire. If there be any
truth in the established axiom that sslike pro
duoos like there should be more care than
there usually is, in selecting the female

THELADYINGRAY SILK.

| The New York correspondent of the Phila
delphia Sunday Mercury, in referring to the
| fact that the Hon. james Quiggle, formerly q
member Of the Pennsylvania Senate from Clin.
ton and Centre counties, had taken ap his res
| idence il the ''Quaker City, relates the fol-
lowing amusing anecdote -
| Sonle years since, on the road from Lancas-
ter to Philadelphia, on a blazing hot summer
day, Judge Jim Pollock, ( your present Gov
ernoT,) Hon. Jim Quies3se,( then plain Lawyer
q is5,e,3 D ard your -sa,rresrouden; who knew
the former well, but not the latter, were alone
in the rearnost car of the train. Jim Pollock
was looking out of the car window, at place
where the train stopped to water, when sud-
denly he drew his white handkerchief from
his pocket, and began vigorously, waving it in
the air, at the same time bobbing his head out
of the window in very vigorous manner.
ssWhat are you about, Judge ?'' asked Mr..
O., without rising from his seat.
"Why, don't you see yonder? There's a
lady waving awhitc handkerchief, and Pm
returning the salute--some acquaintance
made formerly. 1 suppose2'
Judge P, ceased, but in fey moments he
again looked out and resumed the operation
with his cambria.
S'Who is she, Judge7'' asked Mr.. O., as he
lounged in one corner of the car, with his ne
ther extremities curled up like gigantic cap
ital Z.
''Wcll, the fact is, don't exactly know
I'm quito near sighted, and can't recognize
her, but she is dressed in grey silk, and stands
yonder, under big maple tree, near my friend
John BIS house,
By-and by the locomotive gave a snort, and
the train began to move. Judge Pollock again
firted his cambric to the lady in final salute,
and this tine Jim Quiggle thought he would
have peep at her. So he crossed over to the
Judge, and pobing out his head, took view,
but didn't see the lady. Nevertheless, the
Judge kept on waving his handkerchief, the
rolling down his face with the
effort
ssWhere is shea L don't see anybody
said Mr.. O., after scanning the landscape,
without observing any female.
ssThere 20 the rather petulant reply; |
adon't you see that lady in the grey silk dress,
standing under that maple tree, waving white |

There was suppressed snorting sound, and
Jim Quiggle rolled over on the seat, red in the
face as boiled lobster, while your correspon-
Dent picked him up in state of virulent par
oxyism of laughter, and laid him out upon the
seat. After sacrificing all the buttons on his
rest and Wristbands, he explained to the
Judge the occasion ofthe cachinnatory spasm.
The Judge had been exchanging salutes for
wenty minutes with old iron grey mare
whose long white tail, as it tapped away the
lies, had been taken by him for a white hand
,erchief, waved by a lady in a grey silk dress
The Judge didn't swear, but he changed the
ubject to sawmils, the only portion of which

Col. Fremont is thought to be the rich est
man in the world, at this time. The Presi-
dent has signed the patent confirming his
title TO his Fgreat Mariposa claims in Cali
fornia. This nice little estate contains mp
wards of seventy square miles, situated about
two hundred and fifty miles easterly from San
Francisco. Messrs. Palmer, Cook, &C., tho
California bankers, own one undivided half of
the tract, and Col. ]. C. Fremont the other,
which, many persons believe, makes him the
richest man in the world. Colonel Fremont
bought this immense gold region in 1916, for
the sum of $4,000, and was laughed at for the
recklessness Of his investment. 1t has alrsa-
dy yielded some thirty-fly millions of dollars,
and its resources, both mineral and agricultu-
raj, are said to be inexhaustible.
