The following yarn, which was related by an old
friend about the procvities of ancient mariners III
the city of New Bedford, to draw upon their imagl-
nations is good:
A dozen old captains were seated round old Uncle
johnny Coggshals grocery store, one winters day.
Saws old Captain Ben Nash, " guess got more in
the West Indies for herrn than any other man about
this place." ~,

passage and got there just at the nick of time and

"How much did you get Uncle Benz" asked some
of the old salts, who, with pencil i'll hand, were
making notes to try to catch Uncle Ben foul GLOW

"WeD, can't say exactly how much, but put the
money back into the barrel after the herin was out,

Era,I,e CITY OF NEextCo.

The Charleston Courier has an interesting letter
from n correspondent in the city of Mexico, from
which we extract the following sketch of the appear
ance of that city:
"Mexico, in its prominent aspects, is striking
and attractive capital Its architecture particularly
in its churches and public edces, cannot fail 10 I'M
press the stranger. Its spacious streets us open
plaza, fanked on one side by the cathedral on the
other by the ample proportional palace its charming
Alameda with its shady avenues and winding walks,
together with its farreachng smoothly graded passo
where beauty and chiyalry daily meet, vieing with
each other in richness of display and genuine cour
tesy, are all most inviting and imposing.
but Mexico is not an industrial city. Its thorough
fares are ever thronged from early dawn, where
crowds are seen Of aged matrons and charming seno
ritas vending their ways to mathis, and through the
whole day with dense population But 1t IS not tnt
stirring multitude which characterizcs our Atlantic
cities. There is through the mass an absence OF bust
ling animation a listess nertness, moving to ahu
fro, seemingly without aim or object, void at once
Of occupation or amusement. A passing lnclaelGi =
picture shop rapidly draws around it a listesS null
tude. 1t is true most of these are Indians, VINO ecu
ter in the metropolis, from miles around 10 t1alhc
their little wares and spend the hours IN sluggish III
activity. -,
"There is, indeed great display OF wealth, ana
apparently scarcity of the precious netas; ba'
in the absence of prominent resources or STRIKING III
dications of busy traffic, you inquire, whence COMES
it? You look in vain for those stirring marts where
the mercantile operations of a city concentrate ana
are pursued on great and extensive scale None Of
those gigantic workhouses Or merchant palaces when
| Won witness in our Broadways and Chestnut steeetS
few of those confusing dns from the rumblng wheels
of loaded drays, the clankng noise ofbusy workshops
or the hoarse. harsh whistle of the steam-pipe Re
tail Shops scattered the city, would seem the
chief depository of traffic and even the famous Par
| tails where these are collected and where beauty
and fashion congregate, are meagre and Insignificant
by the side of our Hayne and King streets,
1.-The capital, indeed would seem to be the centre
not of the realization of wealth. but rather OF its eX
| penditure. Here would appear to be concentrated
the riches acquired elsewhere, and the chief competi
ton to be in its vain osentation and grandeur OF dis
play The striving industry is one Of dissipation, moi
of acquisition. The Alameda and the Pasco are the
busy marts where the only rivalry is displayed, ant
its fruitful enterprises developed in sumptuous dress
costly jewelry, and expensive equipage, and wher
the real struggles of life portrayed in earnest CT
forts to contend with and Guido one another"

\ Lock OF HAIR.-Few things in this world are
as delightful keepsakes Nor do they ever, to the
heart at least, to the eye, lose their tender, their
powerful charms. How slight, how tiny memorial
saves a beloved one from oblivion worn on the fin
ger or close to the heart, especially if they are dead
No thought is so insnpportable as total, blank forget,
fullness when the creature that once laughed and
sung to us, and wept close at side, or in our arms
is as if her smiles, her voice. her tears her kisses
had never been. She and them all swallowed up in
the dark nothingness of the dust. Of all keepsakes,
memories, lecs-most dearly, deVotcdy is cherished
beautided has long mouldered in the dust, how
spiritual seem the undyng glossiness of the remain
ing! All else go to nothing save and except that
soft, smooth FURNISHED and glorious fragment of the
soft apparellng that once hung i'll clouds and sun

Early to Bed and Early to Rise.
BY ELIZA COOK.

Early to bed and and early to rise"
Ave, note it with care down in your brain,
For it helpeth to make the foolish wise,
And uproots the weeds OF pain.
Ye who are walking on the thrones OF care,
Why sigh for softer bower!
Try what can be done in the morning sun,
And make use Of the early hour.
Full many day forever is lost
By delaying its work till tomorrow,
The minutes of sloth have often cost ..-
Long years of bootless sorrow
And We who would win the lasting wealth
Ofcontcnt and peaceful power.
Ye who would couple Labor and Health,
Must begin in the early hour
We make bold promises to Time
Yet alas too often break them
We mock at the wings of the King of Kings,
Aud think we can overtake them.
But why loter away the prime of the day,
knowing that the clouds may lower?
Is not safer to make lifes hay
In the beam of the early hour?
Nature herself ever shows her best
Of gems to the gaze of the lark
When the spangles of light on the earth's greer
breast
Put out the stars Of the dark
five love the plrest pearl Of the dew,
And rich the breath of the flower,
If our spirits would greet the rich and the sweet,
Go forth in the early hour.
Oh! pleasure and rest are more easily found,
When we start through mornings gate,
Tosum mp our figures or pillow up the ground,
And weave the threads of fate.
The eye ooketh brig and the heart keepeth light
And man beh0ldeth the conqueror's power,
When, IeaGyand brave he chains time as his slave,
By the help of the early hour.

POETRY, MISCELLANEOUS AND TALEs+
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.

i One morning of the first sad Fall,
Poor Adam and his bride
Sat in the shade of Eden's wall
But on the outer side.
They heard the air above them famed,
Alright step on the sward,
And 10 they saw before them staHu
The angel OF the Lord 4
Behind them, smiling in the morn,
Their forfeit garden lay;
Before them, wild with rock and thorn,
The desert stretched away.
She, blusbing in her fig-leaf suit
4 For the chaste garb Of old
He, signing DER his bitter fruit
For Eden's grapes of gold.
:sArise - he said, "why look behind
When hope is all before,
And patient hand and willing mind
Your loss may yet restore!
al leave with you spell whose power
Can make the desert glad,
And call around you fruit and flower
As fair as Eden had.
al clothe your hands with power to lift
The curse from off your soil
Your very doom shall seem gift,
Your loss gain through toll.
g Go, cheerful as yon humming-bees
To labor as to play
While, beam:ng over Eden's trees,
The angel passed away.
The pilgrims of the world went forth,
Obedent to the word
And found, where'er they TILED the eartn,
A garden of the Lord
Once more, oh white.winged angel stand
Where man still pines and grieves,
And lead through toll to Eden land
New Adams and new Ewes!

Abrdgemcnt of a sermon which took up an hour
in delivering, from these words Man is born to
trouble
My friends the subject falls naturally to be divided
in four heads:
!. Mans entrance into the world.
2. His progress through the world.
). His exit from the world and
4. Practical reflections from what may b., sail.
First then:
|. Man came into the world naked and bare.
:. His progress through it is trouble and care.
3. His exit from it none can tell where
!. But if he does we'll here he'll be well there.
Now can say no more my brethren dear
Should preach Oh this subject from this time to
next year. Amen.

THE Va:sahond---A story OF II Life.


For the past two years very tall anu singular
looking woman Enthusiastically clad has ateratcd her
existence between the streets OF the city and the va
grant quarters. She is deaf and dumb, and though
Otherwise free from crime, she has nevertheless m
bbcd SO strong passion for drink that she Is ire
ulienty found by the watChncn u companion OF hogS
IN the kennel The name of this WretChed olltra>t is
Mary Dclknap although she is more generally known
NV the SOuLi4qnet Of the Lady Of Lyons. There Is
much in this poor creatures hstoryto realize the Old
adage Of truth is stronger than hctIon as VIII be
seen by the following brief outline
Fifteen years ago she was an accomplished dG1lStuSf,
and as such was engaged by the RAvEI troupe, with
whom she confined for several years. At that time
her graceful figure and uueen-like appearance at
one of whom, an accomplished Iibertlnc, succeeded IN
veig.iug her from the path OF vrture, when leaving
the troupe with which she had been So long engaged,
She became his mistress
The rest which follows is the old story her Sc
lucer with the provcrblal tichlenes5 of NDertne,
soon deserted her, and a severe lit OF sickness ana
malignant fever not only made terrible ravages upon
her personal appearance, but even destroyed those
blessed attributes OF hcnignant nature, speech, and
hearing. Since then she has been a Wanuerer ana a
yuwAbOHd until about two years since she found her
way To this city, and became associated with some OF
her SEX her passion for strong drink increasing as
she fell lower in the depth Of degradation Reason
ut length tOtered upon its throne, and she became q
hopeless imhecile, when her vicious companions find
inc her Il burden, turncd her forth, and for long
period She has had asylum but the Vagrant quar-
tprS of the prison. On Tuesday evening, alter day
absence from her only habltation, she had cOntrlVed
the means again to steep her senses III bchtial III
toxcution and in that state was conveyed to the
watch house. from whence yesterday morning she
was remanded by Judge prulcn tor another hrict
space of five days, to the city lrlsol-lCmcinnall

OK REMEDIES FOR BuRHs.--Dr. Reese gives it as his
opinion that but few if any Of the terrible burns and
scalds which result in death would prove fatal if
a few pounds of -four could be promptly applied to
the wounds, and repeated until the inflammatory
stage had passed. He says he has known the most
extensive burns by falling into cauldrons of boiling
oil, and even moulten copper, and yet the patient
was rescued by this simple and cheay remedy, which,
from its nfal!ibe success, should supplant all the
ice, turpentine, or pain extractols, every one of
which has been tried thousand times with fatal re-
sn1fs
