started. I threw my light away, and left
my horse TO pick his way. A moment la
ter I heard a crash-a horrable sriek. The
wheels were off. Then came the rush Of
the horses, tearing along after me with the
wreck OF the wagon. Finally they seemed
to fetch up in the woods. One or two
shrieks heard, as swept on, leaving them
far behind. For sometime I hurried my
horsE-you better believe did. 1t was a

rHH BEsT ESTATE.
BY cHAs. SWAIN.

The heart it hath its own estate,
The mind it hath its wealth untold;
1t needs not fortune to be great,
While there's a coin surprising gold.
No matter which way fortune leans,
Wealth makes not hap piness secure,
little mind hath little means
A narrow heart is always poor.
Stern fate the greatest still enthrals
And misery hath it's high compeers;
For sorrow enters palace halls,
And queens are not exempt from tears.
The princely robe, the beggar's coat,
the scythe and sword, the plume and plow
Are in the grave of equal note
Men live but in the eternal 'sNow -
Still disappointment tracks the proud,
The bravest meath defeat may fall;
The high. the rich, the courtly crowd
Find there's calamity for all.
'Tis not the house that honor makes
True, honor is thing divine:
Il is the mind precedence takes
1t is the spirit makes the shrine
So keep tho u generous heart,
A steadfa st and contented mind
And not till death cossent to part
With that which friends together bind.
What's uttered from the life within
Is heard not by the life without;
There's always something to begin
'rwixt life in faith and life in doubt.
But grasp thou truth, though black appear.
The rugged path her steps have trod-
She'll be thy friend in other spheres
Companion in the world of God.
Squatter sovereign., 1856-03-11
The Snow Squall.
BE ELIZABETH nouroN.

The north wind is blowing piping blast,
Aud whistling loud in his slee,
And he shakes the tree as he hurries past
In his race so wild and free.
And the voice of the tree in plaintiye moan
complains Of his rough salute,
and breathes rlurmuring signing tone,
Lake the notes Of broken lutte.
10
how the feathery snow fakes dance about,
on the north winds breath upborne,
as >, ne hings them aloft with exalting shout
10 the clouds he has madly torn.
NOW they glide along with an airy grace
Upheld by his baoyant wing,
VOW before his car at furious pace,
Are swept by the stormy king.
ohe moment, like the birds thro' the air,
TN m whirling cloud they fly,
me aexe o'er the landscape brown and bare,
spotiess robe they lie.
~ ~ me sportive wind in his wanton play
Aophrts them from the plains,
SENDS them careering far away,
40 as soasd Of his dirgs like Strains.

A Practical Bon Hot.

Everybody who has travelled much on
ou1 Northern railroads, must have noticed
that in many of the cars the name of the
makers, "Eaton, Gilbert s. Co.." is con-
spiculously posted.
Not long since, in one Of these cars,
passenger by the name of Gilbert was
travelling with couple of friends, and
seeing another sign over the above to the
effect that passengers are requested not
to crack nuts IN the cars his innate love
of fun was awakened.
At the first stopping place he filled his
pockets with peanuts, and distributing
them among his friends, they were all soon
busily engaged in eating them, and strew-
ing the floor with the shells.
The conductor in passing, gently intima-
ted that it was against the rules, and poin-
ted to the printed notice. I
"Oh, yes" said Gilbert, 81 see, l see
that, but you see by your own rules we
are privileged.
The conductor, thinking that they would
soon stop without any further trouble, pass
ed on.
On his next rounds he found the same
party still at the nuts, and making a great
display of shells on the floor. Out of pa
tience, he now spoke up qsite sharply
and said to Mr. Gilbert:
"You must comply with the rules of the
company if you travel in these cars"
Certainly, certainly, we will but you dc
not seem to be aware that and my compa
ny are expected from the rules you refer
20.
"No, I do not know anything Of the sort
nor you either; and there is no use of hay'
ing any words about it; you must stop o.
quit the cars
"Be quiet minute" replied Mr.. Gilber
and will convince you. To be sure i
says, Passengers are forbid to crack nut:
in the cars," but right underneath is writ
ten, 'sEAT on, Gilbert and Co." Now my
name is Gilbert; and this is my company
and we are doing as we are told.
The conductor gave it up.
