conflict seemed the point of being decided against

while amusing the enemy with mock negotiations,

A STORY A JACK KNIFE.-The Boston Ledger
tells the following: In 1856 youth, then residing
in Maine, owned jack knife which he, being of a
somewhat trading disposition, sold for gallon of
West India rum. This he retaied, and with the
proceeds purchased two gallons, and eventually a
barrel which was followed in due time with large
stock. In word, he got rich. and became the
Squire of the district through the possession and
and sale of the jack knife and an indomitable tra-
ding industry. He died worth property in real estate
and money valued at $4,000. This was divided by
testament among four chdren-three boys and a
girl. Luck, which seemed TO have been the guar
dian angel of the father, deserted the children for
every folly and extravaganza they could engage in
seemed to occupy their exclusive attention and cu-
tivaton. The daughter married unfortunately, and
her patrimony was soon thrown away by her spend
thrift Of husband. The sons were no more for
tunate, and two of them died of dissipation and in
poverty. The daughter also died. The last of the
family, for many years past, has lived the kind
less of those who knew him in the days of prosper
ity pride would not allow him to 60 to the poor
farm. A few days ago he died. suddenly and unat-
tended, in barn where he had laid himself down
to take drunken sleep On his pockets being ex-
amined all that was found in them was small piece
ofstring and ajack knife! So the fortune that began
with the implement of that kind left its simple du-
plicate. We leave the moral to be drawn in what
ever fashion it may suggest itself to the reader,
SIMPLY stating that the story is true one and all
the facts well known to many whom this relation
will doubtless reach.

WHERE THE CANARY BIRDS CONE FRoM.-There is
on association in Philadelphia, composed of about
thirty Germans, who aim at improving the breed of
Canary birds; and last month they published their
18th annual report. From that it appears that the
Ord sales of Philadelphia are confined to Germans,
and amount to $40 900 annually, and three quarters
oi that are canaries. The common original cana
fys of the least value and sell at about 81 piece;
The improved kinds bring from So to $40 a piece,
and are from Central Europe. The great majority
OF these birds were obtained from Belgium, where
they are bred in houses by the peasants who raise
them as pastime. They what are called 'long
and short breeds Birds Of the long breed are pro-
cured from Brussels Antwerp and Detz, where they
sometimes obtain extravagant prices. Their cost
depends upon the color and shape, the pure golden
yellow being the most esteemed. They are onlv
used tor the purpose of breeding and oftentimes sell
'or $50 pair. The short breed is raised by the
people of the Hartz mountains. Next to the Belgian
'he French bird is most priced.

Love and Fame.
BY HENRY T TUCKERMAN.

BY HENRY T TUCKERMAN.
Give me the boon of Love!
il ask more for fame;
Far better one Lnpurchased heart
Than glory's proudest name.
Why wake fever in the blood,
Or damp the spirit now,
To gain wreath whose leaves shall wave
Above q withered brow.
Give me the boon of love!
Ambitions mead is vain;
Dearer affections earnest smile
Than hOnOrs richest train.
I'd rather lean upun a breast
Responsive to my own,
Than sit pavilion'd gorgeously
Upon klngly throne.
Like the Chaldean sage
Fame's wnrShppers adore
The brilliant orbs that scatter light
Ger Heavens azure aoor
But. in their very hearts enshrincd,
The votaries of love
Keep eer the holy fame. which once
Ilumed the courts above.
Give me the boon of love!
RenOwn is but breath,
Whose uudest echo ever floats
From out the halls of death.
A loving eve begnies me more
Than fames emblazon'd seal,
And one sweet note of tenderness
Than triumph's widest peal.
Give me the boon of Lowell
The path of fame is drear,
And glory's arch doth ever span
A hillside cold and sere. -
One wild flower from the path of love,
All lowly though it lie.
Is dearer than the wreath that waves
To stern ambitions eye.
Give me the boon of love!
The lamp of fame shines far,
But loves soft light glows near and warm
pure and household star.
One lender glance can fill the soul
With a perennial fire;
But glorys flame burns fitfully-
lone funereal pyre.
Give ME the boon of love!
Fame's trumpet-strains depart;
But loves sweet lutte breathes melody
That fingers in the heart.
And the scroll of fame will burn
When sea and earth consume,
But tn rose of love in happier sphere,
Will live in deathless bloom!
