THs RUINS OF THE STATE HousE.-We
were surprised to find, on recent inspection
of the ruins Of the State House at Montpelier,
that the walls, instead of being solid granite or
mainly of granite. are in fact for the mos, part
of brick-iaced with stone. The brick wallis
something over foot and half in thickness,
and the granite facing in SIX inches thick. or
the heavy .Doric columns in front two apparent
" uniniured the other four are more or less
cracked and faxed at the top and bottom. In
our private opinion ii will be found impossible
to reconstruct the building, 10 it's present shape
on its present site, if that be desirable' without
taking down the walls, and building over irom

estimated that the new dictionary of DIR. Wor-

which are to be found in no other lexicon of

forego that meal.
AT length, Mrs Mellen rolled up her work
and rose.
'She is going to get supper, thought Mr
Mellen. Il am very glad Of it, for am quite

however great personal sacrifice
By this time, Mrs Melen had advanced Ia

Oh mother, get my bonnet, do,
want to go and play;
And hurry. mother, tie my shoe,
Or sis will run away.
Oh mother, do unite this string,
It's in hateful knot;
And tell me where put my sling,
really have forgot.
Mother, see here, my dress is loose;
wish you'd hook il up,
Oh lear, want a drink so bad,
Ma, take me down the cup.
Mother, want long, strong string,
To make my kite fly high
Give me more paper for the tail,
I'll make it reach the sky.
I've cut my finger, mother, oh,
Do tie a rag upon it;
And mother, here, do sew this string
Again upon my bonnet.
And mother, sew this button on
My pants, see how they look:
And mother, won't you stitch those leaves
Into my spelling-book'
Oh! mother, mother, comb my hair,
And wash my face right clean;
The girls are all a-going to walk
Tonight, upon the green.
Tonight, just after school, you know,
The mistress said we might;
And mother, must have some cake
And cheese, to fix things right.
Oh mother, pick these stitches up,
I've dropped half a score;
And see! there's one all ravelled down
A dozen rounds, or more.
Mother, where is my jumping-rope
Mother, where is my hat!
Mother, come help me build my house;
Mother, John plaques my cat.
Thus hour by hour, and day by day.,
These little things intrude-
Till many a mothers anxious heart
Is weary and subdued
And to her ever troubled ear,
The sacred name of mother,
By being ever dwelt upon,
Sounds worse than any other.
But let each mother pause and think
Wow much she has at stake;
How many thousand, tiny drops
1t takes to fill u lake.
Remembering that her noisy boy
A statesman bold, may be,
And strong in truth and right, may teach
A nation to be free.
With glowing words of eloquence
Maintain Jehovah's plan,
Till vice shall hide its head for shame,
And nations bless the man.
Or, when her head is growing grey,
That daughter kind and true.
With feeling heart and ready hand,
The "little things" will do.
Let these reflections nerve and cheer
Each weary, fainiing one,
With patient hope, to 10 her work,
Till all her work is done.
For not on earth can there be found
Through all lifa's v"riai plan,
A nobler, greater work, than hers,
Who rears an honest man.

Mr.. Buchanan in Washington.

MIR. Buchanan's quiet arrival, accom-
panied by an intimate friend who is in
nowise politician, and has no sellishness
in his regard for the President elect, was
an admirable example of his character
There was no affectation about it. He
neither avowed nor concealed his purpose
of coming. He did not shut himself up
when he arrived--establishe no side door
clique to his apartments in the National
Hotel--but like man of the people, was
accessible to the people. The conse-
quence is that he has not been pestered.
Do you ever remember month before
an Inauguration arriving without some-
thing pretty definite being fixed regarding
some one member of the cabinet?? 1t is
so now. Reporters here look wise and
write owlishly; but depend on this, not
one person has yet been rendered cabi-
net appointment; and no doubt, as the
fashion is now days, the meh least talked
of will be likely to be selected.
Mr.. Buchanan looks the President bet
ter than any man have seen here.

the peculiar turn OF the neck gives the

New Minister to the United States.

Lcrd Napier having been appointed the
representative of her Majesty at Washing
ton, on the occasion of the completion of
diplomatic intercourse between England
and the United States, willleave for Amer
lea on the 7th of February, AMI will be
accompanied by the new consuls to be
appointed in the place of those whose
srequatur had been withdrawn last sum-
mer.
Lord Napier is not peer of the Uni
ted Kingdom. He is only Scotch no.
bleman, but he is the representative of one
of the most illustrious families in British
history, and, whatever his own personal
merits be, he is related to an immense
number of heroes and distinguished men.
He is descended from the renowned Sir
John Napier, of Merchiston, who invent
ed logarithms; his father was the we'll
known Chinese commissioner and his ma
ternal grandfather is Admiral, the Earl of
Dundonald, who distinguished himself
with Lord Cochrane, in the service of the
South American Provinces, in their war
of independence, and in the Greek war.
He belongs to the family of the histo-
rian of the peninsular war, of the gallant
hero of Scinde, and of the eccentric Ad-
miral Napier, of whom we have lately
heard so much: Lord Napier was former
ly attached to the British legation in Ma
plies; and since the close of the Crimean
war he has been residing on his estate in
Scotland Heis represented as grave
man of bushes. but, as he is hirty-eight
years old, and has not been sent on an in
dependent mission before, it is not prob
able that he is man of brilliant intellect
