TIE PALI1 AWD THE PINE.


When Peter led the First Crusade,
A NorScman wooed an Arab maid
He loved her 1.-the and palmy grace,
And the dark beauty OF her iacei
She loved his cheeks, so rudy fair,
His sunny eyes and yellow hair.
He called she left her falher'S tent;
She followed whereso'er he went.
She left the palms Of Palestine
To sIt beneath the Norand pine.
She sang the musky Orien, strains
Where Winter swept the snowy plains.
Their natures me, like night and morn
What time the morning. star IS born.
The child that from their meetings grew
Hung, like that star. between the two.
The glossy night his mother shed,
From her long hair, was on his head;
But in its shade they saw arise
The morning of his fathers eyes.
Beneath the Orient's tawny stain
Wandered the Norseman'S crimson vein /;
Beneath the Northern force was seen
The Arab sense, alert and keen.
His were the Vikings sinewy hands,
The arching foot Of Eastern lan!s,
And in his soul conflicting sirove
Northern Indifference, Southern love;
The chastity Of temperate blood,
lmpetuous passions fiery flood;
The settled faith that nothing shakes,
The Jealousy breath awakes;
The planning Reasons sober gaze,
And Fancy's meteoric blaze.
And stronger, as he grew 10 mar,
The con,radIcung natures ran
As mingled streams from IEina flow,
One born of fire, and one of snow;
And one impelled, and one Withheld,
And one cbeyed, and one rebelled;
One gave him force, the other fire,
This, seli-cOntrol; aud that, desire.
One filled his heart with fierce unrest;
With peace serene the other blessed.
Heknew the depth and knew the height,
The bounds ST darkness and of light;
And who these far extremes has seen,
Must needs know all that lies between.
SO, with untaught, instructive art,
He read the myrIad-naiured heart.
He met the men Of many a land;
They gave their souls into his hand;
And none Of them was long unknown:
The hardest lesson was his own.
But how he lived, and where, and when,
1t matters not TO other men;
For, as fountain disappears,
10 suSh again IN later years,
So nature lost again may rise
Alter the lapse Of cen,uries-
May track the hidden course of blood
Through many Il generations food,
Til, on some unexpected field,
The latent lineage is revealed.
The hearts that met in Palestine.
And mingled meath the Norand pine,
Snll beat with double pulse in NINE.

WULES VS.. HORSES,

Which is the most profitable animal to
raise, the horse or the muleY
1st. An average lot of two-year old
mules will sell for as much as an average
lot of three-year old colts, and perhaps
more. End. 1t does not require the same
amount Of food for mule as for q horse.
3d. The mule is less liable to disease and
unsorndness. 4th. The mule lives to a
much greater age than the horse. 9th.
The mule will perform more labor, accor-

CAN LOVE EORGETf


The following exquisite and passion.
verses were addressed by Rev. JonS Mo,
TIRE TO the lady of his love, whom he sub
quently married;
Forget thee, If TO dream by night,
And muse on thee by day
II all the worship, deep and wild,
A peers heart can pay
II PRAYERS IN absence breathed for thee,
To Heaven protecting power
II winged thoughts that fit TO thee,
\ thousand in an hoGr-
II busy fancy blending thee
With all my future lot
II thou ca!lst these forgetting" thou
Indeed shall be forgot.
Forget thee Bid the fores, birds
Forget their sweetest tunes;
Forget thee Bid the sea forget
To swell beneath the moon;
Bid the falrcSt evening flower forget
To bring refreshing dew;
Thyselt forget thine own dear land,
lis mountains wild and blue;
Forget each old familiar face,
Each long remembered spot
When these things are forsot by thee,
Then shalt thou be fotgot.
Keep. if thou wilt. thy maiden peace
Still calm and fancy free
For God forbid thy gladstone hear.
Should grow less glad for me.
Yet while tha. heart is still uuwon,
Oh, bid not mine to rove
But let II nurse its humble faith,
And uncomp'aining love.
II these, preserved fer patient years,
1t last avail me not
Forge, n. then h1t ne'sr believe
That 'hau c5as' te fcTsyt.

Learn All Won Can.

Never omit any opportunity to learn oil
you can. Sir Walter Scott said. even in
stage coach he always found somebody
to tell him something be did not know be.
fore. Conversation is often more useful
than books for the purpose Of know edge.
1t Is, therefore, a mistake 20 be morose or
silent, when you ace among persons whom
you think ignorant; for a sociatility on
your part, will draw them out, and thew
will be able to teach you something. no
matter how ordinary their employment.
Indeed, some Of the most ssgsci9us re.
marks are made, BY persons of this de-
scripiion, respecting their particular pur-
suits. Hugh Miller, the famous Scotch
geologist, owes not little to the fame of
observation, made when he wa, journey
man stone mason and worked in a quarry
Soerate, said that there was but one good,
which is knowledge, and but oue evil,
which is ignorance. Every grain Of sand
helps to make the heap. A gold-digger
take; the smalles. nuggets, and i, not fool
enough to throw them away because he
hopes to find huge lump sometime. So,
in acquiring knowledge, We should never
de'pise an opportunity, however unpromi-
sing. 1fthere i,a moments leisure, spend
it over good or instructive thing with

The Pennsylvania School System.

We notice, III looking over the report
Of the State Librarian to the Legislature,
a letter from celebrated French publish
ing house in Paris, accompanying a large
present of Books for the Library. The
proprietor states in the letter, that one great
reason why be selected Pennsylvania from
other of the American States, as the one
upon which to bestow this large gift,arose
from the fact that our state had established
such huc system of public schools 1t
would thus seem that our school system
has attracted the attention of distinguished
literary men in Europe, compliment of
which our State may justly feel proud.
We recollect that when the bill was pend.
ing in our Legislature in lS54,a gentleman
residing in Ohio, who had spent many
years in connection with the subject Of
Common Schools, remarked 10 us tina. he
thought the bill the most perfect of any
school law in the Union. We had then no
doubt Of the justice of the opinion, and
have now become convinced that experience
bears it out. Many, perhaps, hoped for
too great things too soon, and hence have
been disappointed. A great deal Of time
and labor must be expended upon the best
Of systema, If it have to take place of one
30 faulty as our old. Improvement, how
ever, i, everywhere visible, and five years
more in the same ratio will place our
chocls in the Grst rank Of the Union
