In poverty and pain
The tears hung heavy in my eyes,
But hers came down like rain,

Repressed the rising sigh;
For thinking of the days to come,
| kept my courage high.
Farewell! I said if seasons pass,
And sunshine follows rain,
And morning dawns on darkest night,
You'll see me back again.

And sailed the stormy sea,
TO earn my bread by daily toll,
An honest man and free.

And saved my little store;
And every summer gave me wealth,
And made the little more.
At length | bought the field | plough'd
The sunshine followed rain;
The morning dawn'd on heavy night,
And | went back again.

And brought her DER the sea;
A happy man, a happy wife;
To bless my home and me.

And sit beneath my own oak tree,
With proud yet grateful heart
The children smiling round the board.

Mrs. CUNNINGHAM.-The statement
that Mrs. Cunningham has gone to Paris,
is all CANNON. She is living with her
daughters in New York city, in very
retired manner, in an obscure street, and
so far from hasi ing the means Of going to
Europe, it is as much as they can do to
procure the means of purchasing their
daily bread.
A clergyman, who was consoling a
young widow on the death of her hus-
band, spoke in very serious tone, remar-
king that he was zone of the few. Such
a jewel Of a Christian-you cannot find
his equal, you well know"
To which the sobbing fair one replied,
with an almost broken heart; "rll bet
will !"
1t is beautiful to behold at wedding
the sorrow stricken air of the parent as
he gives the bride away, when you know
that for the last ten years he has been
trying his best to get her off his hands.
The most remarkable case on record is
that ola Yankee soap-man, who in a vio-
lent storm at sea, saved himself from
death by taking cake of his own soap
and washing himself ashore.
All reports as to character dea largely

a wise man, any one either as good or
as bad as he was represented"
When one advised Lycurgus, the
famous law-glver, to establish popular
government at Lacedamon, Co." said
he, I" and first make trial Of it in ,thine
own family"
1t is fearful to think of the amount of
concealed sin or crime or deceit which,
hidden, though active, all around us,
like ghosts glide in and glide out, to wor-
ry, harass and perplex poor humanity,
At a trial last week sexton, who had
taken part at marriage, was one of the
witnesses.
" Well" said the counsel, g" thought
your duty was to bury people, and moi
to marry them"
=" Certainly" said the sexton; g but we
must first have population before We
can bury them.
An Irish woman who had been con-

Judge Goule on Naturalizati ton.

The Hon. George Goule OF Troy, while
holding a Circuit of the Supreme Court in
the Third District, was applied to by a
stout FIibernian for his "papers" i'll the
manner t,lloWing. to wit
The clerk Informed the Judge that the
man wished to be naturalized, and he 1.-THE
clerk proposed to conduct the matter, as
usual at his own desk, without interrupt
ting the business of the court. The Judge
replied that he knew no business more
important than giving a man the rights
of an American citizen, and that he him
self would conduct the proceedingsn open
court. The applicant thereopon produce
ed his certificate of intention and his wit
ness as to residence, good character, &c.
After which the following colloquy en-
sued.
Judge-You say you prefer living in
this country to returning to Ireland, will
you tell me why?
Pat-This is a land of liberty yer ho-
nor.
Judge-You show that you are at
tached to our institutions, what are they?
Pat-(No answer)
-Judge-Who governs the country?
Pat-Ihe President, sure.
Judge-Who makes the laws?
Pat-Such as yer honor.
Judge-No, only administer the laws.
Who governs this State
Pat-(No answer.)
Judge-Mr. Clerk, hand me the blank
form of the naturalization oath. This
being handed to the Court, he addressed
the applicant again. There is in this
oath clause by which you are to swear
that you will support the Constitution Of
the United States.
Pat-O yis, yer honor, am ready to
swear to that.
Judge-Did you ever read the consti
tuition?
Pat-No yer honor
Judge-Or word of
Pat-No yer honor.
Judge-Did you ever hear a word of
it read?
Pat--No yer honor.
Jndge-Can you read and write
Pat-Yes sir.
JuuSe-Do you know one WORD tnaU
is i'll the constitution of the United States
Pat-Indeed | do not, yer honor
Judge-You have lived in this coun-
try nearly six years; you can read and
write, and have been all this time intend-
ing to become citizen here, yet you have
never taken the trouble to learn or know
one word of the instrument you are now
ready to take solemn oath to support.
An American born here, and living here
until he is twenty-one years old, learns
more or less of the constitution under
which he lives, as well as the rights ofcit-
izenship. At any rate, whether he does
or not, he is presumed to have done it,
and therefore the laws of the land gave
him the right to vote without the formali-
ty Of an oath; it is his birt3aagM. To
those not born on the soil the law applies
different rule, and requires from them
the oath under consideration in your case.
I hold that the due, even under the de-
cent administration of the oath, depends
in part ON the condition of the applicant
at least underestimate and | will never
allow such an abuse of the law as would
be committed by your taking that oath
in your present circumstances. You cam
not be naturalzed by this Court.

TO THE PUBLIC.
Hail honored ages of grand progression,
While each one clings to his profession,
And science moves with onward motion,
To suit each hayward thought and notion,
Bringing to light, some new invention,
More strange than modern wit can mention,
Or genius paint with true endeavor,
Though making graphic strides forever,
While reason urges proud ambition,
To strive for wondrous competition;
Yet in this age of glorious Art,
We can the need Of praise impart,
When meritorious efforts claim
A modest puff to gild the name,
And thus we call with honest pride,
Attention to the Painters Side,
Two men who bravely know their calling,
Whose works are worthy of extolling,
Two model artists of the day,
And most obliging in their way,
Moreland & Jakeman--mark the name,
In Roanoke street you'll find the same,
Call at their shop number one,
You'll get the best of Painting done,
And whether Foe, Friend, or neighbor,
They'll charge but moderate for their labor,
SO now invite each one and all,
So walk around, and give them call.

\ tragical drama has Just taken place
here. The agent of Count Sch, who
had been to the bank to receive a sum Of
$4,000 silver roubles, lost the packet of
notes on his way home. The money was
picked up by clerk, who, instead of Civ
ing the property at once to the owner, fol-
lowed him to his house and inquired the
name Of the person who lived there. The
finder of the money then returned home,
hcsitating in his mind how he should act.
When he arrived there, violent quarrel
took place between him and his wife, the
latter wishing to keep the money. The
clerk. however, on the following morning,
went to the house of the count to deliver the
sum, but the latter would not receive it,
saying that his agent had committed suicide
in the night in consequence Of the loss
Overcome with remorse, the clerk returned
home, where he found that during his alb
sence his wife hal hanged herself from vex-
alton at not having kept the money. He
Immediately cut down the boly and hung
himself with the same rope.
