BABY BUM.
Winsome baby Bum!
Brighter than the stars that rise
In the dusky evening skies,
Browner than the robins wing,
Clearer than a woodland spring,
Are the eyes Of baby Bum
Winsome baby Bum!
Smile. mother. smile!
Thinking softly all the whilo
OF q tender. blissful day,
When the dark eyes SO like these
OF the cherub on your knees,
Stole your girlish heart away,
oh, the eyes of baby Bum,
Rarest mischief they will do,
4 When once old enough to steal
What their fathers stole from you!
Smile, mother, smile!
Winsome baby Bum!
Milk-whit lilies half unrolled.
Set in calyees of gold,
Cannot match his forehead fair,
With its rings ofyeliow hair!
Scarlet berry cleft in twsin
By wedge OF fpearly grain,
In the mouth of baby Bum,
Winsome baby Bum!
Weep, mother. weep.
For the little one asleep
With his head against your breast!
Never in the coming years.
Though he seek for It with tears,
Will he find 50 sweet a rest.
oh, the brow Of baby Bum.
Oh, the scarlet mouth of Bum,
One must wear its crown of thorns,
Drink it cup Of gall must one,
Though the trembling lips shall shrink;
White with anguish as they drink.
And the temple sweat with pain
Drops of blood like purple raini
Weep, mother, weep!
Winsome little baby Bum
Not the sca-shelfs palest tingc,
No, the daisy rose vi hite fringe.
Not the softes., faintest glow
= OF the sunset on the snow,
Ismore beautiful and sweet
Than the wee pink hands and feet
OF the little baby bum
Winsome baby Bum
Pray. mother. pray
Feet like these may loose the way,
Wandering blindly from the right.
Pray. and sometime will your prayers
BE to him lik. golden stars
Built through darkness into light.
Oh the dimpied feet of Bum.
In their silken sfeekins dressed
Oh the dainty hands of Bum
Hid like rose leaves in your breast
These will grasp at jewels rare.
But to find them empty air;
Those shall falter many a day.
Bruised and bleeding by the way,
Far they reach the land of rest
Pray. mother. pray

To SchOOInaasters.

A School teacher in Stonington Connecticut
in 1856, used some violence upon pupil il
order to compel him to obey theiorders of school
and recently he has been arraigned on complaint
of the scholar far assault and battery. After
hearing the case Judge Sanford charged the jury
substantially as follows;
l. That the teacher of public school has the
right to establish rules and regulations for the
government of his school, provided that the same
are reasonable and necessary tor the mainten
ance of discipline, the preservation OF order,ano
the enforcement of proper subordination IN his
schol. fs.7
2. That he is clothed with power to use al
means that are reasonable to enforce these rules
and regulations that are proper and necessary
for the good government and well being OF his
school.
8. That in case of open INSTRUMENTATION and
refusal to obey his lawful commands, he may e1
ercse all the reasonable force that is necessary
to suppress such insubordinat.on, and to com
pei obedience to such lawful commands.
4. That whether the rules of the school Were
reasonable. and necessary for its proper govern
ment; whether the plaintiff violated these rules
and whether the means resorted to by the teacher
to subject the pupil were improper, and the
force that he used unreasonable and greater
than the exigencies of the case demanded, were
questions offered for the jury to determine.
The jury, after brief elaboration, rendered
verdict for the defendant. Halsey and Pratt
for plaintiff; Wait and Starkweather for de-
PENDANT.

Oregon Apples.

The people of the Atlantic States have heard
a good deal Of what wonders are produced in
fruit-growing on the Pacific side of big
couutry. Yesterday we had ocular demonstra-
ton of the fact that apples with old, familiar
names, grow in Oregon to enormous sizes and
great solidity-say double the ordinary SIZE
j oseph Hamilton went out to Oregon, across
the Plains, in 1847, and settled ultimately in
Lynn County, about 100 miles from Portland
Here he established farm and in time began
to think of getting fruit in time. At first he
planted seeds ; then he iprocured scions, and
grated the seedlings and now he has apples in
such abundance that he cannot dispose Of them
because his ne ghbors also have them, and OF
such excellence and size that Dominic Samp-
son might well say: ''Prodigious p

A New Source of WealtEa-TEse Oil
Trade.

We see by the Pittsburg papers, that there is
considerable excitement in that region of coun-
try, respecting subteranean reservoir of oil
which has been recently discovered Compa-
MES are engaged in digging wells to obtain oil
When procured in its crude state it ellis for 60
cents more per gallon. 1t does not cost more
to pump it up than / cent per gallon and cents
more per gallon will pay for barrels and trans
portation to Pittsburg, New York or Philade-
phia. The refined oil is sold at much higher
figure. This oils petroleum. a butuminous sub
stance, which is found floating on the water of
springs. The excitement does not appear to be
altogether speculative, though pooiby that may
have something to do with the published ac-
counts. One singular fact is mentioned in con-
nection with these oil pits. In many places in
the valley of Oil Creek the ground is covered
with pits, hundreds and thousands of them evil
IDENTIFY dug for the purpose ofgathering oil, and
at period so remote that trees $50 years old
are growing over them. The query is, by whom
were these pits dug, and for what purpose was
the oil gathered

The Proposed American Leyia-
than

Rollin German, of Buffalo, has taken out a
patent for his improvement in steamships. 1t
is reported that Mr.. German, in connection
with some of the leading capitalists and bust
ness men of Buffalo, proposes to build an ocean
steamer on his novel pan three quarters Of a
mile long, with the expectation of propeling her
100 miles an hour. The enormous length, in
proportion to breadth, must necessarily ensure
speed, and had the inventors estimate been 80,
rather than 100 miles an hour, with fair show
of economy in power and strength of hull, con-
siderste men would have more confidence in his
enterprise which is at most but an experiment

great drops, wrung forth by anguish
