A True and Touching Incident.

A young man and his wife were pre-
pared to attend Christmas party at the
house of friend, some miles distant.
Henry, my dear husband, don't drink
too muhc at the party to-day; you will
promise me, won't you ?" said she putting
her hand upon his brow, and raising her
eyes to his face with pleading glance.
No, Mile, ] will not, you may trust
me.o
And he wrapped his infant boy in a
soft blanket, and they proceeded.
The horses were soon prancing over
the road, and pleasant conversation be-
guiled the way.
"Now don't forget your promise y
whispered the young wife, as she passed
up the steps.
Poor thing she was the wife of a man
who loved to look upon the wine when
red. But his love for his wife, and their
babe, whom they both idolized, kept him
back, and it was not often that he joined
in bacchanalian reyelries.
The party passed off pleasantly, the
time for departing drew near, and the
wife descended from the upper chamber
to join her husband. A pang shot though
the trusting heart as she met him, for he
was intoxicated-he had broken his
promise.
Silently they rode homeward save when
the drunken man broke into snatches OF
song, or unmeaning laughter. But the
wife rode on, her babe pressed closely to
her grieved heart.
"Give me the babe, Mile, can't trust
you with him." said he, as they approach
ed dark and somewhat swollen stream
which they had to ford.
After some hesitation, she resigned her
first born, her darling babe, closely wrap
ped in the great blanket, to his arms
Over the dark waters the noble steeds
safely bore them, and when they had
reached the bank, the mother asked for
her child.
With much care and tenderness, he
placed the bundle in her arms, but when
she clasped it to her bosom, no babe was
there. It had slipped from the blanket
and the drunken father knew it not.
A wild shrek from the mother aroused
him; and he turned just in time to see the
little rosy face one moment above the
dark waves, then sink forever.
What spectacIel the idol of his heart
gone-gone forever and that, too, by his
own intemperance. The anguish OF the
mother, and the remorse of the father,
are better imagined than described.
This is no fiction, but the plain truth.
The parties we're known by the friends
of the writer, and it should be warning
to those who indulge in Intoxicating
drinks, and resist the pleading of loving
wives Christian Banner.

Remedy for Sea Sickness.

Mrs. Willard of Troy, possesses a new
remedy for sea-sickness, which consists in
forcibly e1pelling the impure air from the
lungs, and filing them with pure air.
This is her advice:
" Make your chest as small as possible
by STOPPING, drawing down your ribs, and
pressing your hands to your sides, throw
out the air by violent and long-continu-
ed exhaling, blowing it from your mouth
as if engaged in blowing up a fire. Then
change make long and forcible inhala-
ton, open yeur chest to its fullest dimen-
sions by standing erect and raising your
arms from your shoulders. Three or four
Of these long-forced breaths are sufficient
to relieve severe case Of sea-sickness.

The +" granite" is made of composition

tests have proven it's indestructibility.-
It is moulded in blocks of FIVE times the

even in New York, is said to be far less
than bricks, and it can be laid more rap

Proverbs for Farmers.

Never keep animals on short allowance
if you starve them, they will surely starve
you.
AlthougAssa dasiging land thoroughly,
your purse may be drained, yet the full
crops that follow will soon fill it up
again.
Trying ts farm without capital is like
trying to run locomotive without fuel
Money and wood must both be consumed
if they are to move the machine of the
farm or of the rail.
Always give the soil the first neal
IF this is we'll fed with manure, it will feed
all else, plants, animals, and man.
If you wish to give an energetic move
ment to all yonr farm machinery and keep
its hundred wheels in rotation be sure not
to be without a good rotation of crops.
If you allow your animals to SILVER
your fortune will be shiverea in conse-
quence; that is the farmer who leaves his
cattle to the winds, will find his profits
also given to the winds.
Heavy carrot crops for cattle will soon
return carats of gold.
Did You ever hear the musical notes OF
a starving herd Of hogs? Extinguish by
food those notesaaspeedily if you would
avoid even more annoying notes after pay
day has passed.
Fences operate in two ways-if good
they are defence, if poor an offense.

ing his new meadows, has had to cede his

ly every animal he has, and inspect its

Cant Phrases.

Cant phrases are not wholly to be des-
pissed. Worthless as they are in them
selves, they have their uses. They are
the straws in the air-the chips in the
stream, which serve to show the current
Of opinion. They are the crannies and
chinks in the professions put forward by
party, through which we may look and
discover the hidden principles by which
it is swayed. They express little, but
they often indicate much. Like the
stream which lies Immediately over seam
of coal, they may be regarded as mere
rubbish; but then it IS rubbish we are de-
lighted to find, inasmuch as it is certain
contact with mine of wealth.

The Prima Donna and the Corn.

But the next day the elegant prima dom

of the peace. An immense crowd, duly
notified by the papers, was present atkhis
singular trial. The counsel for the cos1n.
doctor commenced his case with the
lowing remarks, in the midst of the mS
profound silence
" | can readily conceive, your hondyy

But the judge cut short all further arr
gument by deciding that either Frezzolini
should show her pretty little foot; naked,
in the midst OF the court. or pay the de-
mand and costs of suit. The result could
not be doubtful. Rather than take off
her shoe and stocking in public, she would
allow any inference to be drawn prejudi-
cial to the perfection Of her pedals. But
now to stop the mouth of SANDER, she
takes long walks, and for the sake of
truth it must be said that never was she
known to walk with more grace, light
ness and activity.

Good Bye.

There is hardly a greater perversion OF
the meaning of phrase in the English
language, than is contained in the term
SO often used in parting with friends
" Good Bye" words which, in themselves
have no meaning whatever. In olden
times it was customary among pious peo-
pie, when parting from those they loved
or respected, to commend them to the
protection Of God. The phrase in French
was Dieu," to God-Aaglice, adieu,
and now used by thousands without a
knowledge of its meaning. The old Eng
fish form of expression, /" God be with
you most beautiful expression when
taking leave of friend, is superseded by
corruption of 8 Goodbye

NIGHT.

The pale moonlight holds sway tonight,
And all beneath is peace.
The worlds of light roll on in might
Above, where all is peace.
The weary sleep, in slumbers deep,
And for while have peace,
The sorrowing weep, and vigil keep;
They now may keep in peace,
Above, around, nor sight nor sound
Breathes aught but rest and peace,
The grassy mound, the sky profound,
Tell of eternal peace.
0 soul of mine! no more repine,
Striving in vain for peace.
Thy viii resign to the Divine,
And thou shalt have Co.'s peace.

TO MARY.

There's music in the wood birds note,
Heard through the evenings shade;
And in the matte warbler's song
Arising from the glade.
There's music in the torrents roar,
By thousand streamlets fed,
And the murmuring of the rivulet
Along its pebbly bed.
There's music in the joyous notes
That greet us when we come;
Of happy childhood's rapturoas glee,
That bids rs welcome home.
There's music in the wintry blast,
That whistles through the trees,
And in the gentle zephyr s. sigh,
And in the hum of bees.
But there is music sweeter far
To my fond heart than this,
Tis the music of my Mary's voice Y
That fills my soul with bliss.
A music time may never still
hear it in my dreams;
When all the beauty of her face
So bright upon me CLEANS.

The Yankees are generally supposed to

people on the globe, yet the following sto-
ry will show that some of the Germans
possess this faculty to a remarkable de-
gree:
On one occasion German residing in

to sell. Among the rest he sold dozen
or two to German hotel keeper, who,
afterwards, in demonstrating the acute
ness of his countrymen over the Yankees
said You may talk bout. your Yam

THE ROBIN.
BY ROBERT JOHNSON.

Robin red-breast, feet and free,
Whittier dost thou wing thy way2
Hast thou not some word for me,
Some news from home, sweet Robin, say I!
Thy wing unpinioned cleaves the air,
Thy voice seems tuned to heavenly strains
Come, tell nae what they're doing there,
Does discord ever fill those plains,2
Or, if thou dost not soar SO far,
Perhaps thou'n hover near my home2
If so, go tell my guardian star,
To hope, be happy, till come.
Or, should'st thou light near the brown cot
Where friends are sheltered onthe hill,
If so, dear bird, forget them not,
But tell them that love them still.
Dear Robin, though l wander oft,
So far from home and friends SO DEAR
o, wilt thou, when thou soar'st aloft,
Just stop and say you saw me here.
Yes, pretty BIRD, had thy wing
The power to soar when would be,
All worldly cares behind I'd fingi
And cleave the vaulted sky as free.
Thy voice that so enchants my ear,
Reminds me of the power on high,
Whose justice gives all creatures here,
Some token that He's ever nigh.
Thou canst not reason, yet thy song,
Is of its kind IN strains SO true,
That when thou herald'st in the dawn,
No human art can vie with you.
I love thee, for thy vocal powers
Were blended with mothers love,
While seated meath the summer bowers.
Or roaming in some shady grove.
!. But while I'd hold SO fond and free,
Some converse more bout those away,
I would that 1 could tell to thee,
And have them tell what say.
All, swift-winged one come back, 0 come
I'll ask thee but one favor more
Take these few lines to those at home,
They may be waiting at the door.
