HUMBLE WORTH.

That his dress is course and bare;
Tell me not that his daily pittance
Is workmau's scaniy iare.
Tell me not his birth is humble,
That his parentage l. low;
Is hr honest in his actions!
That is all want 10 know.
10 this world to be relied on?
Has his character no blame?
Then care not if he's low born
Then | ask not whence his name.
Would he from all unjust action
Turn away with scornfu eye?
Would he then defraud another,
Sooner on the scaffold die ?
Would he spend his hard gained earnings
On brother in distress?
Would he succor the affl cted
Aud the weak ones wrongs redress
Then he is man deserving
OF my love and OF my esteem;
And care not what his birth place
In the eyes of man may seem.
Let it be low. thatch'd howell;
Let il be clay.buit cot
Let it be parish work.house-

The Judge had, by this time, unobserved,
taken from his pocket the beautiful shawl,
and folded it at full length one way, and in
a narrow form the other, and i, being of a
very fine texture, appeared more like an
elegant sash than like valuable shawl

A Hundred Years AGO.


The Pittsburg Post, aluding to the near

OF Old Fort Duquesne says:
Gone hundred years ago there was not d

to look back at it through the vista of histo.

was as far from fool. as any man under
the sun and the pest Of his life was a ter.

to walk" with an air quite iocosej; though
he said, soto roee "l'm bound to &c, rid of
your talk" All primed for lark, he re-.
paired to the Park, and stood on the s,eps
OF the Hall, resolved that while light, he
would view the great sight, and at evening
attend the Green's ball. Soon music of
drums through the atmosphere comes, and

giving muscular jump, he struck at the
man who was nearest al hand, and hit him
a murtherin thump. Then quick as a flash,
the police made dash, and Dennis, tor
nohin' at ALL" was shockingly bound with
old rope By the pound, and dragged to
room in the Hall. When safely lodged
there, the old justice did stare, to see such
a good looking chap, hauled up for the
crime, of selecting such time, for giving
fellow slap. Then Dennis eyclaimad
