the PILOTS WIFE.

Bravely the Pilot sailed to sea,
Down the Bay and out Of the Narrows
His sail were trim. and the wind vas free,
And his crew were merry morning sparrow.
But none ware blithcr Of heart than he,
As he went sailing out Of the Narrows.
He sailed to meet the mighty ships,
From distant countries across the ocean,
With Jolly sea ditty upon his lips
That sang Of sailors brave devotion.
SO with trollin tongue, and hands on hips,
The Pilot was sailing over the ocean.
But by-and-by the sky grew black,
And he heard the growl Of the fierce norwsst'r;
SO he looked TO his boat and altered her tack,
And cried. Snow, boys, we're about TO test her;
For. sure as hoat, we're right in the track
OF a tearing, swearing old nor'wester!'
The clouds came down like Wild fowl fight,
And the north-winds roared their awful chorus;
The lightning flashed through the stormy night,
Till the skies themselves seemed split and
porous;
And the brave boat sank in the ocean white,
While crew and captain prayed in chorus!
But the Pilots wife, from red sunrise,
Sits at the Battery, waiting brayely
To see her husbands number arise
When he shall sail through the Narrow
brayely.
Al how patient and calm her eyes,
As she sits at the battery waiting gravely'
The boa,men loafng on beach and grass,
As they look on her feel their heart string'
soften;
They touch their hats when they see her pass,
To the sad lookout where she sits 50 often
"Poor things 20 they cry, "she Is eraxed, alas =
And their rough old hearts on sudden soften

A COURAGEOUS RAT. An English pa.
per relates the following anecdote:
A gentleman, worthy Of all credit, and
who may be the more readily trusted as his
story acknowledges his own defeat, was
aroused one night by heavy humping noise
on the stairs. Unable to account for 1t, he
rose. donned his dressing gown, and with
his candle in his hand proceeded to investi-
gate the cause. Anxious to redeem his
property, the owner descended after it,
The rat at first continued his exertions, but
as the enemy gained upon him, he chang
ed his tactics, and turned his front up
ward, began to climb toward his opponent.
This was just such an intruder as might
with all justice have been kicked down stairs,
but SO stern was his air, and SO menocing
his aspect, that the gentleman hesitated and
hesitation ended in retreat. His feet being
armed only with slippers, he lost heart, and
began slowly to ascend backward while
the rat deliberately mounted after him, and
thus steadily drove him back to his bed.
room. the door of which he shut in the face
Of his foe, and terminated the adventure by
retiring to bed, while the rat returned to his
well earned booty.

A Legal DeciSin.

Among tho good things floating about
upon the surface Of the newspapertorial
items, we clip the following from the Paris
correspondent Of the Memphis Daily Ap-
peal:-
"The son Of a wealthy Jew banker in
London became much attached to young
Christian, with whom his father opposed his
union. When the son found that the father
could not be induced to give his consent to
the match, he concluded to marry without
It. The father then threatened to withhold
every shilling from him, whcreupon the son
replied that if his father did not intend TO
give him anything, he would become a
Christian, and according To law he would
become entitled to one-half Of his fathers
fortune. The father, much alarmed, few
to his lawyer, TO inquire whether such law
really was in existence. The lawyers an.
swer was in the affirmative, but adding that
If he would hand him over ten guineas he
would give him plan by which he could
frustrate his sons plans. The ten guineas
were quickly produced. .Now," said the
lawyer, quietly pocketing the money, 1all
that remains for you TO do Is to become a
Christian also, and the law will not oblige
you TO leave your son cent Of your money
The Jew hurriedly seized his hat, and len
the lawyer without any further remark.

One OF THE nors.-Rev. II. w. B., q
distinguished clergyman Of Brooklyn, was
taken on stage sleigh, from the depot in
Wa New England town, where railroad
communication then ended) TO B-,a place
fifty miles distant, where he was to lecture
that night. 1t was warm February day;
the sleighing was splendid. B. was on the
box beside the young driver; the teams, Of
four horses each, were perfection; and the
result was that the fifty miles were got over
in something like four hours-pretty good
railroad time on some tracks. But It didn't
do the teams Of horses any good, and when,
some days after, knowledge Of their condi.
tion came to the ProPileto, Of 'he line' ne DC

HOME AND FRIENDS.
ny CHARLES SWAIN,


o, there's power TO soothe each hour,
As sweet as heaven designed H.,
Nor need we roam to bring IL home,
Though few there be that find IL;
We seek too high for things close by,
And lose what nature found US;
For life hath here no charm so dear
As home and friends around Us.
We of destroy the present joy
For future hopes, and praise them;
While flowers as sweet, bloom at our feet,
III we'd but stoop to raise them.
For things afar still brighter are,
When youths bright spell hath bound Us |;
But soon we're taught that earth has nough,
Like home and friends around US.
The friends that speed in time Of need.
When Hopes last reed is shaken,
To show US still, that. come what will,
We are not quite forsaken;
Though all were night. II but the light
From Friendships altar crowned us.
'Twould prove the bliss Of earth was this
Our home and friends around US.

A Coon SroRY is told Of Methodist
preac cher-and the story is true to the letter
who lived abou, iorty years ago. He
was bachelor, and We could write his real
name, but we prefer TO call him Smith. He
resisted many persuasions to marry, which
his friends were constantly making, until he
had reached a tolerably advanced age, and
he himself began to feel the need Of, or, at
least, to have new ideas OF, the comfort oi
being nurscd by woman's gentle care
Shortly after entering one Of his curcuits,
maiden lady, also Of ripe years, was rec

A Talk with our Agricultural
Readers.

We extract from the New York Observer
of Feb. 4, the following timely hints, sug-
pes,ions and questions ola practical nature,
to the agricultural readers Of tha, journal.
They are equally applicable to this or any
other latitude.
.You are enjoying that season Of rest,
which iniervenes between a campaign just
closed, and ono about 10 commencement
exactly of rest, for the farmers work never
is done, but of rest comparatively fit
season for reviewing the past aud planning
for the future. II Is impossible for us to
say what mistakes you made last year; but
this we can say positivcly,--if you will fer
ret them out, trace each to Its true cause,
and duly estimate the damage, you will bet
ter avoid mistakes hereafter.
In order to aid you in the search for past
errors, not to be mourncd over inconsolably,
but to be avoided in the future, we will put
You few plain questions. That VIC may
not seem to be wholly taken up with dol

with the higher. and come down by degrees
TO the lower interests Of the farm.
How much have you lost by a less attcn-

yours, having forfeited thereby somewhat
Of the lasting esteem and love you would
otherwise have enjoyed' How much by

THE TWO PILOTS.

Love launched a gallant little craft.
Complete with every rope;
In golden words was painted aft,

Pleasure was rated second mate,
And Passion made to steer,
The guns were handed DER to Fate,
To Impulse, sailing gear.
Merrily rowed the thoughtless crew.
Amid the billow's strife;
But soon sail bore down-sll knew
Twas captain Reasons "Life."
And Pleasure left. though Passion said
He'd guard her safe through all harms;
Twas vain, for Fate rammed home the lead,
while Love prepared the small arms.
A storm arose; the ean,a. now
Escaped from Impulses hand.

The passengers here began TO scent the

"and send Jimmy Ducks here"
The darkey was Oft in twinkling, and
there being some Curiosity as to this new
style of cooking, we tried the goose; but
for the life Of US we could not tell whether
