The HISTORY OF TowNs.-It is getting
to be quite common to write the history
Of towns. Hardly month passes but We
see notice of some such book that has
appeared or is about to appear. 1t iswsl
to preserve an account of the early settle
.ment Of various parts of our country in
some such manner. Every town can af-
ford incidents and characters of interest,
not only to present inhabitants but also to
the general reader. Most fthe towns in
New England, in addition to the ordinary
hardships of pioneer life, had to contend
with the savages with which the country
was originally inhabited. The border
warfare that lasted over hundred years
wherever civilization met the Indian, af-
fords instances of courage and endurance
unequalled in the days Of chivalry. To
collect and record such matters is the duty
of the town or county historian.
Many of our towns have yet unwritten
histories. They mny never be written,
yet to those who have the leisure and the
inclination it will be matter Of interest
to gather up and preserve in some suitable
form all the authentic historical traditions
in regard to the town in which they re-
side. Boon the older Inhabitants whose

some and a pale-faced child was its only
inmate. She was confirmed invalid
you might trace that in her hollow checks
and the strange unnatural luster of her
large blue eyes-the fame Of life was burn
ing low on the altar Of her childish being;
yet here she was alone. The old armchair
in which she reclined, with one or two pil.
lows, and rudo pine box, was the sole
support Of her tiny blue-veined feet. There
was no carpet on the mouldering foor,a land
in more than one place door and window
had yielded to the remorseess hand of
decay, and presented a most diapidated
aspect. Yet all the scanty furniture was
arranged as neatly as possible, and there
was even some faint attempts at taste, as,
in bit Of gaily-colored chintz spread
over the childs foot-stool, and a solitary
flower placed in the window seat, where
the sunbeams could touch its emerald
leaves.
That flower it had been poor Katy's
companion long. Its royal beauty and
luxuriance seemed strangely out of place
IN the squalid, low ceied room yet it
grew and 1ourished as if in the velvet sod
of Bendem eers stream. And little Katy
lay back in her comfortless chair, and look
ed at the spl endid rose which quivcred like
a ruby drop among the leaves, and watch
ed the sunlight writing its golden message
on the crimson folds of the blossom with
vague feelingof wonder.
1t was so strange that the radient sun,
whose glory lay on marble pillars and state
ly dwellings far away should come to peep
into her lonely, lonely room.

Katy smiled and shook her head, as il
deprecating this piece OF extravaganza.

Song.

By JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.
o, moonlight, deep and tender,
A year md more ugone,
Yoer mist Of golden splendor,
Round my betrothal shone
O, elm leaves, dark and dcwy,
The very same We seem,
The low wind trembles through We
Yo murmur in my dream.
q, river, dim with distance,
Flow thu, forever by,
A part Of my existence
Within your heart doth lie
Q, stars, ye saw ON NEE sting,
Two beirgs aud one soul,
Two hear, go madly beating
To minsle and be whole
Q, happy night, deliver
Her kisses back to me,
Or keep them all, and give her
A blissful dream Of me.

The Tyrapt Sway.
BY oEOEoE 2. MORRIS.

BY GEORGE p. MORRIS.
I he heat that owns thy tyrant sway,
Whste'er its hopes may be,
Is like a bark that drifts away
Upon a shoreless sea
No compass left to guide her on,
Upou the surge she's tempest-torn--
And such is iif, to me
And what is life wien love is fed?
The world, unshared BY thee
I'd rather slumbcr with the dead,
Than such waif to he
The bark that by no compass steers,
Is lost, which way soe'er she veers-
And such is life to me

"Is it possible 2" stammered the old
man.
"Yes, it is possible am that forlorn
boy. Your money, which that night sup
piled my dying sister with luxuries and

my princely wealth. Sir, I was rag
ged, friendless boy, but my heart treasur-
ed up your kind words as priceless jewels;
and now the time has come when l may,
in some measure, repay them with inter-

The old man moved his pale lips as

THAT you will henceforth allow me to

He took tiny volume from his breast,
bound in faded velvet, with claspings Of
tarnished gilt.
"This book was my dead sisters Bi-
BILE; it lay on her pillow when she died,
and since that hour it has been my con-
slant companion. There is passage here
that has ever been present to my mind
since your kind deed gave hope and cour-

STRYcHNINE.-This poison, which has
Of late become so notorious in its abuse,

in its action on the human frame in some

in others only bringing on tetanic convul-
sions, and in lucky few no effect at all
and this does not appear to have any re-
lation to the physical strength Of the pa
tient 1t is a whiteish crystalline substance
and is extracted from the nut of tree
called strychnine nuz 10 mica. This tree
grows in Ceylon, il of moderate size, and
has thick shining leaves, with a short
crooked stem. In the fruit season it is
readily recognized by its rich, orange col.
ored berries, about as large as golden pip
pins. The rind is smooth and hard, and
contains white pulp, of which many va
rieties Of birds are very fond within this
are fat, round seeds not an inch in diam
eter, covered with very beautiful silky
hairs, and Of an ash-gray color. The nut
is deadly poison which was we'll known
and its medicinal properties well under
stood by Oriental doctors long before Eu-
rope or America had heard its name.
"Dog-killer" and "fsh-scale" are transla-

natives of Hindostan often eat it for
months, and it becomes habit, like OPT

of a nut day, and gradually increase
their allowance to an entire nut, which
would be about twenty grains. IF they
eat directly before or after food, no un.

chemical tests for it are numerous, but
only one or two can be relied upon as

The Starting-Poin of Virtue.

II is the poor mans Sabbath which is the
source of his week day virtue. The rich
may have other sources, out take away the
Sabbath from the poor and you infict a
general dissertation of character upon them.
Taste and honor, and a native love of truth,
may be sufficient guarantees for the per
f0rmance of duties to the breaking OF which
there lie no temptation. But they are not
enough for the wear and exposure Of o,di-
nary life. They make a feeble defense
against such temptations as assail aud agi-
tate the men who, on the rack of their entr-
gies, are struggling for subsistence. With
them the relative obligations hold more
singly upon the religious; and if the tie of
religion, therefore, be cut asuLder, the
whole Of their morality will forthwith go
into infringement. Whatever virtue there
Is on the humble levels of society, il holds
direct of the Sabbath and of the Sanctuary;
and when these cease TO be venereted. the
poor cease to be virtuous. You take away
all their worth when you take away the fear
Of God from before their eyes; and why thel
should we wonder at the result of a very
general deprivation among them, if before
their eyes should be held forth, on the part
OF their earthly snperiurs, an utter fearless
ness of God? the humber, it ought not to
be expected, will follow the higher classes
on the ground of social virtue, for they hav..
other aud sevtrer difficulties to Combat, and
other temptations over Shich the victory
would be greatly more arduous. But the
humber will follow the higher on the
ground of i~rreiigioh, only they will do i, in
their own style, and, perhaps, with the
most daring and lawless spirit OF thDse who
riot in the excuses of ne~ly-felt liberty
