JUNE

pY wM. II. BURLEGH.
June, with iis rosss-June!
The gladdest month Of our caprlcious year,
With its thick foliage and ts sunlight clear;
And with The drowsy tune
or The bright leuping waters, as they pass
Laughingly ON amid the springing grass!
Earth, az her Joyous coming,
Smiles as she puts her gayest mantle on
And Nature gfeets her with benisoni
While myriad voices, humming [round,
Their welcome song, breathe dreamy music
Till seems the air an element Of sound
The overarching sky
Wearoth q softer lint, a lovelier blue,
As N the light Of heaven wero melting through
It's sapphire dome on highs
Hiding The sunshine I'm their vapory breast
The clouds Goat on like spirits 70 their rest,
"a deeper melody,
Pour'd by the birds, as o'er their calIow young
Wnichiul they hover, to tho breeze Is flung
Gladstone yet not Of glee-
Music heart born, like that which mothers sling
Above their croded infants slumbering.
On the warm hillside, where
The sunlight fingers latest through the grass
Peopeth the luscious strawberry. As they pass,
Young children gambol there,
Crushing the gatherd fruit in playful mood
And staining their bright faces with It's blood
A deeper blush Is given
TO the half ripend cherry, as the sun
Day after day pours warmth tho trees upon
Till the rich pulp is riveni
The truant sohool-boy looks with longing eyes,
And perils limb and neck TO win the prize.
The farmer iu his field,
Draws the rich mould around the ten dor maize
While Hope, bright-pinion'd, points I coming
When all his toll shall yield lday8
An ample harvest and around his hearth,
There shall be laughing eyes and tongues Of
mirth.
Poised on his rainbow wing,
The butterfly whose life is but an hour,
Hovers coquetushy from flower TO flower,
A gay and happy thingi
Born for the sunshine and the summer day,
Soon passing, like the beautiful, away
These are thy pictures, Junel flowers
Brightest Of summer months-thou month Of
First-born Of beauty, whose swift-footed hours
Dance to the merry tune
or birds, and waters, and the pleasant shout
or childhood ON the sunny hills peaId out.
I feel it were not wrong
To deem thou art a type of heavens cline,
Only that there the clouds and storms of time
Sweep not the sky along; Tthine
The flowers air - beauty-music-all are
But brighter-purer-lov divine

The So OF cinderelIa.

The origin Of this nursery tale is thus
given by a French journalist. We "telE
the talc' as told to us, but It is probably
of much antiquity About the year
1870, an actor of equal talent and wealth
named Thcyenard, in passing through
the streets of Paris, observed upon a
cobbers STALL the shoe Of a female,
which struck him by the remarkable
smalness of it's size After admiring
it for sometime he returned to his house;
but his thoughts reverted to the shoe
with such intensity, that he re-appeared
at the stall the next day; but the cob
bier could give him no other clue to the
owner, than it had been left in his alb
scuce, for the purpose of being repair
ed Day after day did Thevenard re-
turn to his post to watch the re-integra-
ton Of the slipper which proceeded
slowly; nor did the proprietor appear to
claim it, Although he had completed
the siXtieth year of his age, so extrava-
giant Became his passion for the un-
known fair one, that he became (wero
it possible for a Fronchman of that dav
to be so) melancholy and miserable
His pain was, however. somewhat ap-
peased by the avatar of the little foot
itself appertaiuing to pretty and youth
ful girl in the very humblest class Of
life. All his distinctions were Ievelled
at once by love- the actor sought the
parents of the female, procured their
consent to the match, and actually mado
her his wife.

Miniature Toy Balloons.

During the recent holidays, small bal
looms made of goldbeaters parchment
colored red and filed with hydrogen
gas, have been the delightful Gift toys
Of the season to the infantile world in
Paris. Each is made with a string at
tached to it, by which it is held in the
hand Of the child, and whonit cscapes,up
it mounts, and sails along the ceiling
of the nursery or parlor, a wonder to
the youngsters.
Such toys might be successfully intro
duced into our cities. The first of them
made in Paris was by a poor mechanic
as a desperate effort to raise few francs;
they took with the public, and it is as
serted that he realized 100000 francs
profit, from the great number he made
to fill the orders of the toy dealers
It is thus, by speculative efforts Of
this kind, that many enterprising men
make fortunes Those who never ven
turo never win, in inventions, COM
merce, or literature.

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

SHARPENING EDGED Tools has long been
known, that the simplest method of sharpen
ing razor, is TO put It for half an hour in
water, to which has been added one-twentieth
Of its weight Of muratic or sulphuric acid;
then lightly wipe it off, and after a few hours
set It on a hone. The acid here supplies the
place Of whotstone, by couodiug the whole
surface uniformly so that nothing further than
a smooth polish Is necessary. The process
never Injuries good blades, while badly harden
ed ones are frequently improved by il, although
the cause of such improvement remains unex-
planned. OF late, this process has been applied
10 many other cutting implements. The work
man, at the beginning of his noon spell, or
when he loaves off in tho evening, moistens
the blades Of his tools with water, acidiied as
above, the cost Of which s almost nothing
This saves the consumption of time and labor
In whettmg, which moreover speedily wears on
the blades. Tho mode Of sharpening here in-
diCated, would be found especially advantage

The greatest charm of a letter is in
it's Individuality The best letters-the
dearest, the most cherished by the re-
ceiver, are the most natural ones-those
in which the writer truly pours out his
soul upon his poper-writes himself
down Just as he is In the mood Of the
hour. We ask our friend not only his
own thoughts and feelings, but his own
styls-his own proper expression Of
them We rightly expect from him
such a letter as no one else could posi-
bly, write, because no one else has just
the same mental organization, or stands
IN precisely The same relation TO U.S.
Do not, therefore oonstrue anything we
have said, on may say, iu a way TO make

The Love of Home.

We clip the following eloquent ez-
tract from the lecture delivered by Hen
ry Ward Beecher, in Cincinnati, upon
Patriotism
off your childhood home was happy"
said he, off your early days were fortu-
nate days of love, nothing can sever
your heart from your old remembered
home. 1t would be a glorious pleasure
to him to see the treasures Of art in the
capitals of Europe it could not
touch those deeper chords that vibrate
when he meets his boyhood companions,
and in an instant bring back the Wis
ion Of years long gone BY He might
desire to sec the sun go down from an
Italian sky, or ascend among the rising
Alps, but rather would he behold him
from his fathers dwelling, sufuso the
West and picture trees and mountains
against a golden sky, and feel as he
used to feel, when the sun in going,
took something of his very soul with him
What would he not endure to stand
where Christ stood, to rest where he sat,
or remain where he laid down in patient
burial He ewould gladly walk through
the sleepless night in solemn vigil, until
the morning light should streak through
the dew-drops on his hair-and yet it
could notmove him soasto go to the side
of the hill where his mother was buried,
and sit down there while the past came
back again, and childhood and love walk
ed before him in the blessed resurrection
of a vision. So hath it been ordained,
that our early affections come to us with
a SAVIOR that not the strongest later feel
ings can give.
None know these things so we'll as
the emigrant and wanderer, for it seem
eth that it is the body only a06icb apes
array from home-tbe heart neUer emf
CRATES. Are there any reflections so sol
acing as the very rememberings of home
the old farmhouse, the broad door
stone, the humble hearth, the meadows
where we scared up birds and found
early flowers, the trees that pslted as 19itb
chestnuts, lghen zoe pelted them ,oith clubs,
the orchard, purpled in Spring and redo
lent in Autumn? All these are in the
remembrance of every man, if it has
been his lot to be born at all, Qaughter)
that is, to be born in the country"

STRENGTH AND Power OF IDEAs.-
The Doctor, strong Webster hater,
was sitting upon Matt's bench, talking
against Webster, as was his custom:
"Ralph Waldo Emorsons ideas, said
he, 'will live forever while Webster's
ideas will die with him. Emersons
ideas have force, have power; but it is
not SO with Websters" "Thats a lie,
said Matt, "and you know it, If one
Of Daniel Webster's big thoughts got
into Ralph Waldo Emerson's head, il
would split it open like a pitcher with
ice in itl Now, get off that bench, for
You can't say anything more against old
Dan in this shop ."-[ Lowell Courier

THE SONG OF THE LITTLE
BUILDERS.
BY WIN. GLAND BOURNE.


Little Builders! build away!
Little Buiders build TO day.
Build a temple pure and bright,
Build it up in deeds of light;
Lay the corner strong and deep,
Where the heart the truth shall keep;
Lay liz with builders care,
For the temple resteth there.
If you want an honorsd name,
IL you want a spoiless fame,
Let your words be kind and pure,
And your temple shalt endurei
Wisdom standeth at the door
Come and SEQ her priceless store;
Virtue gentle guides your feet,
Whele the good and holy meet.
Set the pillar firm and strong,
Raise them with the workers songs
Toll isprayer, and toll IS praise,
Keep this worship AN your days;
Lei your life be loving deeds,
Go and help when sorrow pleads;
Let the tear Of pity mll,
When you hear the mourner call.
Little Builders! build awoy!
There is work for you t5-day'
Deeds of mercy and of truth,
Making alright the hours Of youth;
Work and prayi and joyous sing,
Ever fast 10 virtue cling,
And q temple so sublime
Shall ouuast the years Of tins.

THE CHILD is FATHER OF THE MAN
This dictuul of Wordsworth was never
more aptly illustrated than by the fol-
lowing anecdote of Henry Brougham,
the schoolboy, which we find recorded
in delicious volume of the rcminisccn-
ces Of the late Lord Cockburn, just pub
lished by Adam and Charles Black, with
the title "Memorials of his Time, by
Henry Cockburn.' Brougham made
his first explosion while in Frasers class
Cat the high school of EdinburghD He
dared to differ from Fraser, a hot, but
good natured old fellow, on some small
bit Of Latinity The master, like other
men in power, maintained his own infal-
libility, punished the rebel and fattered
himself that the affair was over. But
Brougham reappeared next morning,
loaded with books, returned to the charge
before the whole class, and compelled
honest Luke to confess that he had
been wrong. This made Brougham
famous throughout the whole school.
I remember, as well as if it had been
yesterday, having had him pointed out
to me as the fellow who had beat the
master. 1t was then that L first saw
him.

them concerning the prospects in Kan
sas, and finding itimpossible to comply
with all theirrequests propose to give
them my views through the columns
ofyour excellent paper The first ques-
tion in the minds Of the people Of High
land, seemed to be, whether there
would be any more political trouble or
not?' I hadnot been in tho Territory
twenty four hours, until I was satisfied
in my own mind, that that question
was answered beyond doubt in the
negative. The people who are now in
the Territory, came here for the pur-
pose Of making themselves homes, and
not for political speculation, The
eyes of the inhabitants are turned to the
increase Of the wealth Of its citizens -
And, as matter Of course, when the
spirit Of Improvement and enterprise
has the aseendancy We need not fear th'
