The Old Buttermillz Pail.

Oh. when revert to the long -gone-by pleasures,
And think of the dreams that made lustrous
my y0nth.
And bid sweet remembrance bring to me those
treasures.
Which twinked like stars in the aznre Of truth.
How sweet is the thought which, with strongest
emotion.
Rolls over my brain like wave Of the ocean
When my mind turns to scenes that sought with
devotion.
When drank to my Gil from the Buttermilk Pail.
Let the msantbrope pine-let the long-visaged
languish-
For things which are trfng, and scenes that
are blest
Let the sorrow-faced mourner sing ditties of an
guish.
And weep for tue hopes that have fed from his
breast
Yet sigh not at all for the days that are ended.
When Joy like heart-feeding mama descended.
When down on my marrow-bones gracefully
bended,
drank with my nose in the Buttermilk Pail.
When but young lad, with my heart overflow

With temper as strong as tenpenny nail
How oft al the rate Of 2;40 a-going,

Oh. if there be scenes that are good TO remember,
OF the fair days Of childhood, which long ago

Oh, bring me the apples of golden September,
And the dishes of sweet milk mixed rightly
with bread
And give me the Indian-pudIing all yellew,

Capital Story of Boswell and johnson.


We have not met with a story for some
time as well told as one in the rev volume
of Angeles "reminiscences of Boswell and
johnson. Angelo, it seems, gets it from
the landlord of the inn where the lexco-
grapher put up.
johnson gets off the pony, and the poor
animal, relieved from the giant, smelt his
way into the stable. Boswell ushered the
Doctor into the house, and left him to pre-
pare for his delicious treat johnson feeling
his coat rather damp from the mist of the
mountains, went into the kitchen. and threw
his upper garment on q chair before the
fire. He sat on hob near little boy who
was very busy attending the meat, and John
SON did not like the appearance Of his head ;
when he shifted the basting ladle from one
hand, the other was rot idle, and the Doc
tor thought at that time he saw something
fall on the meat, upon which he determined
to eat no more mutton on that day.
The dinner was announced Boswell ex-
claimed My dear Doctor, here comes
the mutton-what a picture Done to
turn, and looks SO beautifully brown p The
Doctor Uttered, and after a short grace
Boswell said:
suppose am to carve as usual what
part shall | help you to "
The Doctor replied i did not tell you
before, but | have determined to abstain
from meat to day
Oh, dear, this is quite disappointment,
said Bozzy.
Say no more / shall make myself am
pie amends with the pudding
Boswell commenced the attack, and made
the first cut at the mutton How the
gravy runs What fine favored fat-so
nice and brown, too Oh, sir, you would
have reshed this fine prime piece of mutton!
The meat removed, in came the long
wished for pudding. The Doctor looked
Joyous, fell eagerly to; ; few minutes near
Iy finished the pudding The table was
cleared. and Boswell said
Doctor, while was eating the mutton
you seemed frequently inclined TO hugh

IN her life of George Washington, just
published, Mrs. Kirkland gives us a little
closer view of that stately lady, Mrs. Mar
tha Washington, than other writer's have
done
If we were to give our private opinion,
says Mrs Kirkland we should say that Mrs
Martha Custis Washington, with her large
fortune, her strong domestic tastes and af-
fcctions, and her dutifu common sense char
actcr, exercised her full share of influence
over the Commander-in-Ch Chief of the armies
of the United States Of America. She had
a very decided way Of speaking, and as she
never meddled in public affairs. we can east
y imagine the General letting her have her
own way in pretty much everything else
A guest at Mount Vernon happened to
sleep in a room adjoining that occupied by
the President and his lady. Late in the
evening, when people had retired to their
various chambers, he heard the lady deliver
ing very animated lecture to her lord and
master upon something which he had done,
that she thought should have been done
differently. TO all this he listened in the
profoundest silence and when she, too, was
silent, he opened his lips and spoke, now,
good sleep to You, my dear = This anec-
dote of the great man in his night-cap is
quite characteristic of him, bnt it is equally
so Of most lords and masters, who, we i'm
agnc, all receive curtain lectures as Mr..
Caudle and Washington did, in profound
silence. Experience, probably, teaches
them that it is the better way.

The BABY IS DEAD--A long black scarf
trimmed with broad white ribbon. hangs
upon the door knob. A dcath-lke stiffness
pcrvades :he entire mansion all within
moving with the SofteSt tread and speaking
in softeSt whispers, as if fearful of disturb
ing the rcpose of some loved one. Those
passing along the street observe the somhre
scarf, and the instant change in the connie
nance betrays the thought, the baby is
dead p Yes, the baby Is dead, and not
only these who have been familiar with its
sparkling eyes, but the stranger who re-
ceiyed the intelligence from the scarf on the
door, feels that house has been robbed of
a precious idol. How deep was the love
that had clustered around the innocent babe
and oh how terrible is the blow its death
inhcts.
The baby is dead 1t no longer clings
in innocent love to its mothers bosom, or
S!irs with fondest joy its fathers heart It's
prattIing has ceased forever, and its once
laughing eyes are closed in an eternal sleep.
But even in death it seems to have lost none
OF its sweetness. 1t lies so calmly in its
silkcn-cushioned coflin prepared with so
much care it has been arrayed in its cost
liest garments, its pure brow trimmed with
a fragrant wreath, and flowers have been
scattered over its lovely form Bs it is thus
arrayed. the babe seems only to be sleeping
but, alas it is that sleeping which hath no
waking
The baby is dead Around it are gath
cred many whose Sympathies it has aroused.
and whose love it has excited. The minis
ter leans over the cold form, and touched
with the sight, tears trickle down his cheeks,
while he excaims Thus saith the Lord
Suffer little children to come unto me, and
forbid them not, for such is the kingdom of
heaven
The baby is dead 1t is about to be shut
forever from the sight of those who loved it
as no others could Oh how the mother
clings to the lifeless form, and as she i'm
prints the last fervant kiss upon its cold
cheek, how her very heart-strings seem to
break. And the father, though he has
manfuIIy braved tolls, cares, and dangers,
now feels unnamed, and weeps like a child,
as he bends over the corpse of the lost one.
Sympathy, at other times consolng, is now
of no avail, and the heart of both suffer the
deepest anguish
The baby is dead The tears have wet
its grave, and crushed hopes lie buried with
it, Though its mortal existence may have
been brief, its death has desolated a joyous
home. Sweet babe Orators may an
nounce a nations loss in death of patriots
great and true, and poets sing in touching
strains the memory of the dead, who have
accomplished mighty things-none but an-
gels of heavenly birth will record the life, so
pure and beautiful, so early lost

THE ingratitude of man to his fellow man i. 50
L often met in life, that testimonials, prompted
by the finer feelings of the heart are oasis in the
life Of those who sacrifice their best days in philan-
thropc devotion to the alienation of the ills OF
frail mortality. Empircsm floods the columns
of our press with fraudulent and fictitious letters
singing peans to the worth of their egotstcal
charlatanism. Below we append letter from a
worthy man who, brief period since seemed
destined to shuttle off this mortal coll who
looked forward to his dissolution with that pleas
ure which only those weighed down by the heavy
hand of disease can. Contrary to hope, the ability
of skilful physician has restored him to his for
mer health. Relieved from his terrible situation,
and impelled by gratitude, he makes known his
case and remedial agent, and his statement is au-
thentcated by notary public. The demands of
society imperiously command its publicity and it
is given more to warn the unwary than to sound
the praises of physician Of whom scores Of like
cases can be cited
