THAT DAM ROARING.

A young buck went TO see the daughter of
a Presbyterian elder lately, whose house was
near mill dam. 1t being the spring OF the
year, the waters made considerable OF roar as
they tumbled into the dam. The modest young
gentleman tapped lightly at the door at first and
received no answer. He tapped again-slill
no answer Again and again he repeated his
knock, but still he was unheard. Mastering
up courage, he proceeded to inhc some severe
thumps on the door, which brought the slad
old gentleman out.
81 suppose" said the youngster, who had
10y this time become slightly savage, from be-
ing compelled to wait so long, 81 suppose you
could not hear me knocking for the dam roar
ing"
"The dam roaring What do you mean
sir! How dare you speak in that way ~ salC

young man swear in his presence.

Have you the impudence to insult me with re

youth, ~ intended TO say that ! presume

words
"Insult on insult" shouted the infuriale
man; and he rushed at the poor fellow wit

SELF EDUCATION.

How is an acquaintance with science to be
obtained by men who have but small amount
OF leisure, a scant supply of hooks no appara-
tus worthy Of the name, and the opportunities
of attending lectures few and rare! We have
no teachers, no lectures, no apparatus, you will
say. Now in answer 10 this, wish TO place
before YOU grea, truth, winch somehow seems
TO have been overlooked in our educational dis
cussons. 1t is this, that learning must come
from within, not from without-that listening
to a lecture is not learning-ihat looking al a
man making experiments does not teach you 10
manipulate in science. Only think of man
learning to make shoes, or to sing or 10 play
on musical instrument, by attending lectures
on shoemaking or music. He who wishes TO
mount, must grid up the lons of his mind
Lectures and teachers are all very well 10 keep
idle boys to their work and TO stimulate the iE-
dolent. All mental improvement resolves lsel
ultimately into selEimprovement. Be assured
that the differences between the facilities which
the rich and poor respectively have for acquir'
ing know ledge are not so great as is commonly
imagined, especially in this country, where Z
man can procure for few shillings the very
best manuals and text books in. almost any
branch of literature or science. lie need moi
even 60 to that expense he may join an inst
tuition, such as this, and have the use of all the
books he may require for few pence. Yor
may buy Euclid for a shilling, an arithmetic
for the same, a treatise on chemistry for a cou
pie of shillings, These are yonr best teachers
Your books will not tire of giving you infor
nation they will repeat it for you again an(
again. If you have misunderstood anything
they have said, or are slow TO comprehend
them, they will wait patiently for you unit
you are ready to proceed with them. They
will put up with your i'll humor, they will bea
with your mistakes, and it will cost you bu
little to keep them. But, you will say, thougI
books are cheap, and may be easily procured
we have no apparatus, aud apparatus are scarce
and dear, beyond the means of the poor man t.
obtain. Now, here is another error. Their
is great deal too much talk about apparatu
for teaching science, and the necessity there
that the State should manufacture it, and sup
ply it at cheap rate to schools and institution
like this. A man who is eager to learn-wh
is determined TO know his subject-may, if

Quite different, but not less satisfactory, was
the first esculatory experience Of Dominic
Brown. He had reached the mature age of
fye-and- forty without ever having taken part
in this pleasant abal exercise.
One of his deacons had very charming
daughter, and for year or two the Dominic
found it very pleasant to call upon her three or
four times week. In fact, all the neighbors
said he WAS "couring" her, and very likely he
was. though lie had mol the slightest suspicion
of it himself.
One Monday evening he was sitting as usual
- her, when a sudden idea popped into his
head.
Miss Mary" said he, ave known you a
lorg time, and never thought Of such thing
before bu, now ! would like YOU to give mt
kiss. Will you'"
Well Mr.. Brown" replied she, archina
her lips in tempting way, " if you think ii
would not be wrong, have no objections
4" Let US ask blessing first, said the good
man, closing his eyes and folding his hands
d" For what We are about to receive, the Lord
make Us lhanhia.."
The chasle salute was then given and warm
y returned.
"Oh, Mary, that was good ' cried the Dom
/ nie, electrified 10y a new sensation. " Let Us
/ have another and return hanks
Mary did not refuse: aud when the opera
lion had been repeated, the Dominic calculate,
/ in transport of JOY,
" For the creature comforts which we hav,
now enjoyed, the Lord be praised, and ma,
they be sancliiied to our temporal and eierna
good"
History says that the ieryent petition of IN
honest Dominic was duly answered for in les
than a month Mary became Mrs. Brown.-LJ

TWO SORTS OF KISSING.


The neatcsl Of all neat things, the story Of
the Widow Lambkin, of whom DR.. Meadows
took so much toll when they crossed the bridge
on a slcigh-ride, reminds me, says a down-east
friend, of one of our Maine young fellows, who
thus describes the battle and final victory, in a
fair fight for kiss Of his sweetheart
"Ah, now, Sarah dear, give nc a kiss
just one e.-and be done with it,"
- won't so, there now.
"Then | shall have to take it, whether or
no."
Take it, if yon dare !"
So at it he went, rough and tumble. An
awful destruction Of starch now commenced

HALLOVvED BE THY NAME.
DY ELIZA COOK.

DY ELIZA COOK.
List to the dreamy tongue that dwells
In ripping wave or singing tree
Go, hearken to the old church bells,
The whistling bird, the whistling bee;
Interpret right, and ye will find
'Iis "power and glory" they proclaim;
The chimes, the creatures, waters, winds,
All publish, "hallowcd be Thy name"
The pilgrim journeys till he beeds,
To gain the altar of his sires;
The hermit pours above his beads,
With zeal that never wanes nor tires;
But holiest rite or longest prayer
That soul can yield or wisdom frame,
What better import can it bear
Than "Father, halowed be Thy name ~
ne savage, kneeling to the sun,
To I'VE his thanks or ask boon;
The raptn ,,os of the idiot one,
who laughs to see the clear, round moon; ;
The saint, well taught in christian lore,
Moscm PROSTATE at US haine-
All worship, wonder, and lore,
And end in, 'hallowcd be I l'y name y
What er may be mans faith or cree,
Those precious words comprise it stiL
We trace them to the blooming mind;
We have them on the flowing rill;
One chorus halls the Great Supreme;
Each varied breathing is the same
The strains may differ, but the THEME
Is, Father, halowed be Thy name'

"What do yon think will become Of you! ="
said Mrs. Partington TO Ike, as they were GO
ing from church, where he had tipped over a
cricket, peeped over. the gallery, attracting the
attention of boy in pew below by dropping
pencil tied with string, upon his head, and
drawn hideous picture of dog npon the
snow white cover of the best hymn book.
" Where do you expect to go to! You have
been acting very bad in meeting" continued
she, and could hardly keep from boxing
your ears right in the midst of the lethargy.
You didn't pay no interest, and | lost all the
thread of the sermon through your tricks" "
| didn't take your thread" said Ike, who
thought she alluded to the string by which the
pencil was lowered upon the boy, that was
fishing line" "Oh Isaac" continued she
earnestly, "what do you want 10 act like the
probable son for! why don't you try and be like
David and Deuteronomy that we read about
and act in reprehensible manner'" The
appeal was touching, and Ike was silent, think
ing of the sling that David killed Golah with
and wondering if he could make one.

NEGRO HUNTERS IN TowN--An application
was made bya distressed ''chatte" owner on
Wednesday evening to one of our lieutenants
of police for aid in securing two lively speci-
mems of his personal property, at large about
town. The officer Indignantly told him he had
no such duties to perform, nor would he per-
form them if he had.
"Shant want some help to get the two boys
away from the city"'
Well,I ruttcr guess you ,0i0," was the signif-
cant reply.
A DARK OFFENCE AND A LIGHT PUNISHMENT.
"A large brute Of fellow, and black as the
ace of spades with a mouth that looked like a
tomato run over by cart wheel, was brought
up before the police court yesterday charged
with indecency and brutality toward bright
little mulatto girl eight years old Justice
DWolf fined the fellow $25 and sent him TO
bridewell for 80 days. When it is considered
that the fellow has been up twice before for a
like offence, II is a little singular that light
penalty was administered.
