Would that every one could realize the vast
importance Of these little words: think, speak.
act In this world, where character is con-
tinually in a state Of formation, and scarce
ever reachess climax, it is no little thing, but
1t behooves US that we reflect how to speak,
think and act. In our lives is not visible the
effects of our actions, but their influence will
show themselves when our bodies are laid
beneath the sod. The influence of many words
and actions never dies, but like circles in wa
ter when stone is cast into its bosom, keeps
widening. till we can scarce define Il, or our
eyes reach its boundaries. Many times our
words and actions may touch chord in the
harp of humanity, the influence of which will
yibrate througho 1t eternity; and it is tho
same If the influence be for good or evil
Not thought is in our mind, not word es-
capes our lips, moi an action is performed, but
that God Is witness Of. How important is it.
then, that our every endeavor be for the good,
and that we weigh well every thought, word
and action. five do this, our influence will
assuredly be good, and such that we shall ney-
er have cause TO regret.

The Home of the Poet Perci.

The quaintiooking house occupied by the
late James G.. Percival, at New Haven, Con-
necticut. was sold at auction on Wednesday
last for si,7oO. to satisfy mortgage. The
poet was State Geologist of Wisconsin at the
time of his death, in May, 1856, but died with
out property, except his poems, house, and
library, all Of which were mortagaged. The
house. like its owner and occupant, was among
the curiosities Of New Haven. Both were
nearly inaccessible to the public. The dingy.
brown stone tenement, located in the suburbs
of the city, was built in manner to secure
the most effectual retreat from that society
which he has so studiously stunned. Neither
window nor door is visible to the passer- by,
and the only entrance is at the rear, which is
is approached by path winding from the
road. Two small windows, well protected by
heavy shutters, are inserted in the gable ends.
In this retreat the poet lived alone with his
library, seldom permitting an intrusion upon
his seclusion. The library, which contains
some 10000 volumes, will probably be pur-
chased by the State Of Wisconsin, which has
expressed desire to obtain il. It is now
stored in the hospital at New Haven, in one
troomiof which Percival passed several years
Of his lonely life. He was never married.

Hans Anderson.

In letter to the Tribune, written from Co.
penhagen, Bayard Taylor gives the following
description of Hans Anderson, whose works
are SO popular in this country:
On The dav after my arrival sent note TO
Hans Christian Anderson, reminding him of
the greeting which he had once sent me
through mutual friend, ana asking him to
appoint an hour for me 10 call upon him. The
same afternoon, as l was sitting in my room
the dooor quietly opened, and a tall, loosely
joiuted figure entered. He wore neat eve
aing dress Of black, with a white cravat, his
head was thrown back, and his plain, irregu.
lar features wore an expression of the greatest
cheerfulness and kindly humor. recog-
nized him at once, and forgetting that we had
never met--so much die he seem like q ia
miliar ,aintance--cried out, eAndersonp =,
and jumped up to greet him. "Ah,n said he,
stretching out both his hands, sshere you are
How should have been vexed if you had
gone through Copenhagen and had not known
It." He sat down, and had delightful
hours chat with him. One sees the man so
plainly in his works that his readers may al
most be said to know him personally. Heis
thoroughly simple and natural, and those who
call him egotistical forget that his egotisn is
only naive unthinking sincerity, like that Of
child. In fact, he is the youngest man Of
his years that ever knew. "When was
sixteen," said he, "I used to think to myself,
when am twenty four then will be old in
deed-but am now fifty-two, and have
Just the same feeling Of youth as at twenty"
he was greatly delighted when Braisted, who
was in the room with me, spoke Of having
read his "Improvisatoro in the Sandwich
Islands "Why, is it possible" he exclaimed
"when lhear OF my books going so far round
The earth, sometimes wonder if it can be real.
ly true, that have written them.o He ex-
planned to me the plot of his new novel, ct,
Be or Not To b, ]" and ended BY presenting me
with an illustrated edition of his stories. esNow
don't Forget me-" said he, with a delightful
entreaty in his voice, as he rose to leave, s.for
we shah meet again. Were it rot for sea-
sickness, should see you in America: and
wso knows but I may come in spite of it %,
God bless you, Anderson! I said, in my
thoughts. 1t is so cheering to meet man
whose very weaknesses are made attractive
through the very candor of his nature .l ~

Net first the beautiful and then the true:
First the wild moor, with rock and reed and pool,
Then the gay garden, rich in scent and hue.

But first the sorrowfal, and then the glad:
Tears for day, for earth Of tears is FULL

Not first the bright, and after that the dark;
But first the dark, and after that the bright:
First the thick cloud, and then the rainbows are;
First the dark grave, then resurrection light.

Long night Of heavy clouds and veiled skies;
9hen the fair sparkle OF the Morning Star,
That bids the saint awake, and day arise.

A Remedy with one objection.

General D. was more distinguished for
gallantry ia the field than for the care he Law
ished in personal cleanliness. Complaining
on certain occasion, to Chief Justice B.
of the suffering he endured from rheumatism,
that learned and humorous Judge undertook
to prescribe remecy-"You must desire your
servant" be said to the the General, ssto place
every morning by your bedside tub three
parts filled with warm water. You will then
get into the tub, aha having provided your
self with apound Of yellow soap, you must
rub your whole body with it, immersing
yourself occasionally in the water, and at the
end Of a quarter Of an, hour the process con-
ludesby wiping yourself dry with towels,
and scrubbing your person with flesh brush"
''Why," said the General, after few mo-
ments' reflection upon what he had just heard,
.Sthis seems to me nothing more nor less than
washing yourself" SWELL" reioined the
Judge, III - open 10 that objection =, ~.

ca A gamekeeper on an estate near Loch-
ame, who had been annoyed by the depreda-
tions OF foxes, discovered kennel in glen
at the sice of a small loch. While watching
one evening for the appearance Of the tenants
he observed brace of wild ducks floating
on the loch; in little while fox was seen
approaching the water side with cautious
steps; on reaching 1t he picked upa bunch Of
heather and placed it in his mouth, so to Gov.
er his head; then, slipping into the water, and
immersing all but his nose, he Aoaled slowly
and quietly down to where the birds were
quacking with delight, in fancied security,
seeing nothing near but bunch of weeds
In due time he neared the ducks, dropped the
heather and seized one Of them, with which
he returned to the lochside, and was making
off to his young with the prize, when the keep.
er, who had noted all his movements, closed
them BY the discharge Of his double barrel
gun.
