SYMPATHY FOR THE ERRING.-Of how much
of our indignation against even a deliberate
wrong would We be disarmed, if we could but
know for ourselves a 1.-THE of all the sorrow,
and trouble, and disappointment the poor er-
ring heart had passed through what efforts
were made in youth to stand up against the
pressure of the world and how, when fallen,
from miscalculation, or an over cOnfding ma
ture or want of tact, it bravely rose up and
tried again and when hard necessity came
and drove it to the wall, how it looked around
for help, and waited, still striving to stand up
right, and fell while striving and even when
fallen, how it yearned for one more chance to
rise and be a man-how 10th at last to give
up all for lost Could we but sec thousandth
part of the struggles as they rend Cur brothers

A MoTHER's LovE-Oh there is an endur-
ing tenderness in the love of mother to son
that transcends all other affections Of the heart
1t is neither to be chilled by selfshness, nor
daunted by danger, nor weakened by worth
essness, nor stihed by ingrattude. She will
sacrifice every comfort for his convenience she
will surrender every pleasure to his enjoyment
she will glory in his fame and exult in his pros,
perity and if misfortune oyertake him. he
will be dearer to her from his misfortune and
if disgrace settles on his name, she will still
love and cherish him in spite of his disgrace {;
and if all the world beside cast him off, she
will be all the world to him. Washington

UP THE HILL A BERRYING.

On a sunny summer morning,
Early as the dew was dry,
Up the hill went a berrying;
Need tell you-tell you why!
Farmer Davis had daughter,
And it happened that knew,
On each sunny morning, Jenny
Up the hill went berrying too.
Lonely work in picking berries,
So joine her on the hill
Jenny, dear" said |, " your baskets
Quite too lalge for one to FILL"
So we staid-we two-to fill it.,
Jenny talking was still
Leading where the hill was steep,
Picking berries up the hill.
This is uphill business" said Jenny,
so is life," said /; " shall we
Climb it each alone, or, Jenny,
Will you come and climb with me p
Redder than the blushing berries
Jenny's cheek moment grew,
While, without delay, she answered,
II will come and climb with you"

Transatlantic Travel.

A recent publication by Pliny Miles, de-
signed to promote the interests Of the Gal
way line of steamers, contains the following
paragraph, showing the great increase of
travel which followed the establishment of
transatlantic steam lines:
The great tide of American travel did not
set in until after the commencement of the
American ocean mail service by the Collins,
the Bremen and the other lines Of steamers.
Up to 1850, the average number of Amer-
cans that went abroad annually was only
5492, and never did it exceed 1900. In
1850, the Collins (American) line of steam
ers was started, from New York to Liver
pool, and soon after lines to Southampton,
Havre and Bremen. In 1851, the number
of American travellers to foreign countries
was 29,362; in 1854 it was 32,64l in 1856,
there were 39,3l9, and last year over SO, ,0OO.
For thirty-three years, ending with 1850,
there were l5O,534 Americans who visited
foreign countries and returned, while in the
next six years there were lss,99s. 1t is
estimated that at least two-lhirds of all
American travellers who 60 abroad visit Great
Britain. The entire number of Americans
coming to this country cannot fall short of
10000 year.

Falsifying the Records.

We copy the following communication
from the Democratic Standard Of the 9Th
inst. If the charges therein contained be
true, and we do not doubt them, it fully ex-
presses the duplicity practiced by Duncombe
and his political wire-working friends:
am credibly informed Of the following
circumstances. When DR.. Duncombe was
about to take the oath required by the nat
uralizaton laws, he demurred to that part Of
the oath in which he is required to state the
potentate of which he is then subject.
The Deputy Clerk very properly declined to
administer the oath in any other form than
that dictated by the Act Of Congress, and
Dir. Duncombe then went through the pre-
scribed formula and renounced especially his
allegiance to Queen Victoria, of whom,
under oath, he acknowledged himself sub
ject.
But it was perceived that this sworn ad-
mission might tell against the Doctor in
the second contest in the Assembly, end
would shut up those loud mouthed partizans
who had been SO vaciferously exelaiming
against the expulsion of an american Cti-
zen" Perceiying this, the Judge of the 9th
Judicial District the political friends of
Duncombe, had the minutes, which were
drawn in the usual form, so altered, as to
suppress the fact that the oath taken by
Duncombe contained any such admission
The printed certificate furnished Duncombe,
was scratched, as it now appears, to be made
to conform to the minutes.
Are the records of our Courts to be falsi
fed, and that by the Judge upon the BENCH,
to answer political purposess

THE BOY
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

Has there any old fellow got mixed with the boys!
If there has, take him out without making
noise
Hang the Almanac's cheat and the Catalogues
spite!
Old Time is a liar! We're t,centy tonight
We're twenty! We're twenty! Who says we are
more?
He's tipsey-young jackanapes!-show him the
door,
"Gray temples at twentyv'-Yes! ,phite, if we
please;
Where the snow fakes fall thckest there's no
thing can freeze!
Was it snow / spoke of? Excuse the mistake!
Look close-you will not see sign of a flake;
We want some new garlands for those we have
she'd
And those are white roses in place of the red
We've trick, we young fellows, you may have
been told,
OF talking lin public) as if we were old;-
That boy call doctor" and this we call
"Judge;"
It's a neat little fction-of course it's all fudge.
That fellows the ''Speaker"-the one on the
right;
Mr.. Mayor" my young one how are you tonight?
That's our Member of Congress-" we say when
we chaff;
There's the '.Reverend" What's his name?-
don't make me laugh.
That boy with the grave natl cmatical look
Made believe he had written a wonderful book,
And the Royal Academy thought it was true!
So they chose him right in; a good joke it was,
too!
There's boy-we pretend--with a three-deck'r
BRAIN
That could harness team with logical chain;
When he spoke for our manh ood in syllable fire,
We called him the ''Justice"-but now he's The
Squire"
And there's nice youngster of excellent pith--
Fate tried to tonceal him by naming him Smith
But he shouted song Of the brave and the FREQ
Just read on his medal-"My country ry''-"of thec!'
You hear that boy laughing?-you think he's all
fun
But the angels laugh too at the good he has done;
The children laugh loud as they troop to his call.
And the poor man that knows him laughs loud
est of all!
Yes, we're boys always playing with tongue or
with pen,
And / sometimes have asked-shall we ever be
Shall we always be youthful, and laughing and
gay,
Till the last dear companion: drops smiling away?
Then here's to our boyhood its gold and its gray!
The stars of its winter, the dews of its May!
And when we have done with our lie-lasting
toys,
Dear Father, take care of thy children, the Boys!

The Public Debt Of Great Britain.

To secure the payment of the interest on
this debt, it appears that it is charge upon
the moneys in the Treasury in priority to all
other claims; and, in the event of the sum
being insufficient, prior charge is created
upon the first receipts of revenue thereafter.
As an additional security for the punctua pay
ment of the interest, the Bank Of England
is employed as the Government Agent
The number of accounts kept by the Bank
of England for the proprietors Of the public
debt is about 27O,OOO. The sum paid to
the bank to conduct this business is at the
rate of f340 for each million Of the debt.
The charge amounts to G25o,OOO a year!
The sum appears large in itself, but it is
doubtful if the Government could do the
business cheaper, and no one has ever ex-
pressed an opinion that it could be conducted
more perfectly, OF with greater security to
the holders of the debt. London Economist.
