Sonnet-to whittier.

o, poet, when thy spirit age is cast
In sad'ning contemplation over the earth,
And seest still in man the same great dearth
OF brother-loye thou kawest in days past;
Deem never that thy labor hath been vain
Thy years of wrestling with misdeed and wrong!
Truth with the generation groweth strong,
And age increaseth injured freedoms train,
And few of all the marshaling array
But something OF their spirit owe to thee,
For, through the darkest night, thy lofty lay
Dad feerless breathe to man ofliberty.
And when, o poet, thou but dust shall be,
will live thy strains, mans priceless legacy.

A WORD FOR THE BABIEs.-Little chub-
by ones inclined to have the Group or any
oppressionin breathing should on going to
bed be rubbed with grease about the throat
and ears, and over the heart and bowels,
well rubbed in. The smell of clean white
lard is offensive even, and the mothers should
prepare some purposely in an old tea cup,
by adding few drops of the oil of layen-
der, rosemary, or peppermint, to take away
the fresh greasy odor. In nearly all baby
ills this simple thing is remedy. 1t re-
moves the distractions of the respiratory Or
gans, and rubbed on the body is as a gen
tic cathartic. A physician once told me
that mothers curled their lips in scoru when
he first prescribed it; but when he prepared
some, gave it a pompous name, and recon-
mended it under the pleasing title, wrought
wonderful cures and was sought for miles
around him. RosELLA.

THE PERILoUs BALLoONING.

The public has already been Informed of the
safe arrival at Ottawa, q. W., on the Sd inst.
of Prof. La Mountain and MIR. Haddock, who
ascended in the balloon atlantic from Water
town, New York, on the 22d of September,
and for whose safety much fear was felt. Mr..
Haddock has written long but interesting ac-
count Of their wandering and suffering in the
wildness. 1t appears the balloouists were up
in the air some four or FIVE bours, when finding
themselves over dense wilderness, and the
darkness of the night around them, they con-
eludei to descend. They did So and passed
the night in the balloon fastened to the the top
of a tall spruce tree, aud exposed to dreneh-
ing rain. At daylight they again ascended,
and here We leave Mr. Haddock to speak for
himself.
"As the current was driving US still to the
north, we dare not stay up, as we were drifting
farther and still farther to the s'frozen tide
from which We knew there could be no escape.
MIR. L.. Mountain seized the valve cord and
discharged gas, and We decended in safety BY
the side of large spruce. We made the A.

talked over what We should do. We had not

REWARD OF HONESTY.

Johnny Moore is the name of brieht-ryed,
jolly-faced lad, twelve or fourteen years of age,
whose invalid and widowed mother, living on
Morgan street, he helps to support by the sale
of newspapers and such errands as he may
chance 10 fall in with. Yesterday morning he
chanceG to stumble against a large pocket
book, which he picked up and found to contain
a large number of bank notes and papers.
While he was meditating on the sudden
riches he had amassed, and which be had slid
into capacious pocket, or perhaps racking bis
youthful mind whether to seek for thes owner
or conceal his good fortune, gentleman rush
ed by him in an anxious, buried, nervous
manner, which convinced the boy that be was
looking for something, and he thought be knew
what.
"Have you lost anything 2" asked Johnny.
ssYes, my pocket buck, ;" was the gentleman's
answer; shave you seen it %
The little fellow expected be had be
didn't know: though. What kind Of pocket
book was it
''This led TO an adjournment to a neighbor-
ing store, where the flushed and almost breath
less individual sof the first part" proceeded TO
say that the pocket book was black one, con-
tanning 5 / 200 in bauk bills and some accounts,

flap being inscribed Robert Thomas, Coviag-

ny's eyes snapped with cheerfulness as he
placed the treasure, just as he had found it,
into the strangers hand and We opine there
was a greater joy in tbat one act than SIC, 900
could have purchased at the expense of gull
ty conscience.
Mr.. Themas hardly seemed to know which
to feel most--relief on the recovery of his
money and papers, or gratitude to the lad aud
admiration of bis honesty. Taking Johnny
by the hand, whose bounding heart (he knew
not why) had BY this tims s'splashed tears into
his eyes," the gentleman took him TO clothing
store and dressed him out, from top to toe, in
bran new suit. TAen proceeding TO a jewelry
store he purchased good silver watch, upon
which he Greeted TO be engraved these words

were appointed board ~ report upon the lost and
damaged property which had been in the service Of
the company. We Immediately proceeded upon oui
duty, and on the investigation requested every
man who reported property lost TO back his report by
deposition. We kept an account of the depOsitons
taken by the Justice and after closing the report we
gave him a certificate Of the number of dispositions
taken before him. We must have given the certf.
cate some days after closing the report. | believe
fifty cents is allowed by the statute Of the territory
for taking a deposition.
Asst regards those seven persons treated by Dr. TuZo
not FuZO, the most OF them were men that had been
in the service OF the Hudson Bay Company, and they
have q nick name. TuZO was the Hudson Bay doc

account. For instance, Aleek appears on the muster
roll by the name Of Oyhee Alexander. He is half
