GOING UP AND COMING DOWN.

This is a simple song, 'tis true,
And songs like these are never nice;
And yet well try and scatter through
A pinch or two of good advice.
Then listen, ponous friends, and learn
Never 10 boast Of much renown;
For fortunes wheel Is on the turn,
And some go up, and some come down.
We know a vast amount of stocks
a vast amount Of pride insures;
But fate has picked 80 many locks,
We wouldn't like 10 warrant yours
Remember, then, and never spurn
The one whose hand is hard and brown;
For he Is likely TO go up
And you are likely 70 come down.
Another thing you will agree,
Crhe truth may be as well confessed,)
That Goldfish Aristocracy' t'
IL but a Scdly thing at best
And though the fishes larre and strong
May seek the little ones 10 drown,
Yet fishes all both great and small,
Are going up and coming down
Our lives are full of chance and change,
And chance, you know, IL never sure;
And 'twere a doctrine new and strange
That places high are most secure
And though the tickle god may smile,
And yield the sceptre and the crown
'Ts only for little while;
Then b goes up and A comes down.
THIS world for you and me, my friend,
Hath something more than pounds and pence
Then let me humbly recommend
a little use of common sense.
Thus lay all pride of place aside,
And have care on whom you frown
For fear you'll see him going up,
When you are only coming down.

BEAUTIFUL AND TRUE.-We rarely
pick up the Erie Observer, edited by
SLOAN, who is one of the best fellows liv
ing, without finding something good in
it. From the last number we cut the
following:
"Talk about Piccolomini Strakosch
and the other fashionable singers; there
is not mother, son or daughter in our
goodly city, or in the country either, that
connot attend better concert, without
money, and without price, every day OF
their lives, if they only are a mind to-
All they have to do is to get up at four
in the morning, throw up the window; il
it is not already up, which it ought to be,
and let in the voice of the birds. LISTEN
there is Robin-can Piccolomini
beat that?-there goes an Oriole, Jenny
Lind is nowhere; hear that Blue bird
how it stretches its little throat, and tries
to lift its voice above the rest of the feath-
cred band And now they are all in
chorus, Robin, Oriole, Blue-bird, Cat
bird, even to the little Wren; did art
ever produce anything equal to it?-did
mortal voice ever sing His praises half
as gladly, half as sweetly,or half as
effectively? We doubt itl--And yet
how few enjoy it--simply because it
costs nothing, and is not 'thefashion"

Case of Russian Justice.

Last December an officer in the ele.
giant uniform of the Chevalier Guards gal
loped along one of the most crowded and
fashionable streets in ST. Petersburg
Passing n,agasin bemodes he saw a charm
ing young girl enter. He followed her,
and was struck by her cheerful but mod
est grace, and the freshness and tender
ness which distinguished her. On her
retireing he learned that she was the
daughter of poor chino,oieh (civlian) that
the shop-people worked for her at a low
rate, from admiration Of her youth and
character, and that she would return at
six.
That officer, with two Of his friends,
indulged in a sumptuous dinner, inha-
ming his passions with costly champagne.
But exactly at six, large and gorgeous
troika IA double-seated sledge) stopped
near the magasin, harnessed with three
splendid horses. The poor Olga advan-
ccd, was instantly half stiAed in fur
cloak, lifted into the trOika, carried off to
Czarsk oZelo, where wasa convenient and
lonely house and there brutality ravished,
after Indignantly rejecting every kind of
bribe. But her resistance was so violent
that she disfgured the faces of her assail-
ants.
On her return her father appealed to
the hated police, but in vain. The po-
liece-master assured him that the crimin-
ais could not be identified. On this, her
brother, who was an officer in country
regiment, was written to. He was inde-
fatigable in his inquiries, discovered that
three officers had suddenly announced
themselves sick, to hide the scars in their
faces, wrote petition to the Emperor,
and succeeded in awaking his sympathy.
The police masterwas summoned, and the
Gar charged him instantly to procure a
true report of what had passed. This
was done. The criminal was Prince
Galitzin.
Bnt mark the punishment. The Gar
instantly compelled him to marry the
sufferer, endowed her on the spot with
half his worldly goods, making her at
once very wealthy, and then Immediately
issued ukase of divorce, leaving her en-
tirely free. All the three officers were
transported to country regiment, deep
in the heart of Russia, and were refused
any rise in military rank.
Never was poetical justice more rapid
and more complete. The sentence does
hoor to the Emperor, and almost makes
us long in certain cases for ON e---;r~
tent despot. But this is not the only in
stance in which Alexander III. has given
proofs Of good heart and great vigor
The circumstance has excited an i'm
mense sensation in the Russian capital,
and will doubtless have good results.

DIR. FRANKLIN ON DEATH.-In the
published works of BENJAMIN Franklin,
occurs the follwing beautiful and highly
spiritual passage:
awe have lost most dear and valuable
relation. But it is the will of God and
nature that these mortal bodies be laid
aside when the soul is to enter real life.
This is rather an embryo state; prepar.
alton for living. a man is not complete
ly born until he is dead. Why should
we grieve when child is born to immor-
talityY A new member added to their
happy socity? Wo arc spwitsi That
bodies should be lent us while they can
afford us pleasure, assist us in acquiring
knowledge, or doing good to our fellow
creatures, is kind and benevolent act of
God. When they become unfit for these
purposes, and afford us pain instead of
pleasure, instead of aid become an incum-
berance, and answer none of the inten-
tentions for which they were given, it is
equally kind and benevolent that a way
is provided by which we may get rid Of
them.
Death is that way. We ourselves in
some ceases, prudently chose a partial
death. A mangled, painful limb, which
cannot be restored, we willingly cut off.
He who plucks ont tooth, parts with it
freely, since the pain goes with il; and
he who quits the whole body, parts at
once with all pains and possibility of pains
and diseases it was lieble to, or capable
Of making him suffer.
Our friend and we were invited abroad
on pnrty of pleasure which is to last
forever. His chair was ready first, and

SAVING TIME.-A clergyman, who en-
joys the substantial benefits of fine
farm, was slightly taken down, few
days ago, by his Irish plowman, who was
sitting at his plow, in tobacco field
resting his horse. The reverend gentle.
man, being great economist, said with
great seriousness-"John, wouldn't it be
wecl for you to have stub scythe
here and be hubbcing few bushes along
the fence while the horse is resting?
John, with quite as serious a countenance
as the divine wore himself, replied
Wouldn't it be well, sir, for you to
have tub O. potatoes in the pulpit
when they are singing, to peel 'em a
while to be ready for the pot?"
The reverend gentleman laughed hearti

The people of the United States show
a strong prediction for light and 6c-

and new volumes issued in this country
in recent year, about onc.half were
works of fiction or imagination. In
France only about one-ninth are works ol

That innocence and peace are gone,
Without thy censure roughi

That sin-crushed heart to bear;
And they who share happier fate
Their chidings well may spare.

From Mls'ry's thorny track:
Forget not thou hast often sinn'd,
And sinful yet must be;

Republican State Convention.

Avalued correspondent suggests the subject of
our STATE Convention, and enquiries " when and
where it is to he held, and what is to be its ac-
tion?" As to The time, soe think it should be
after planting and before haying, at a time when
the farmers are most at leisure-if at leisure
they ever are-say on Thursday, the 23d, or
30h, Of June. As to. koherc 1t shall bc--we
believe 1t was held at this place last year, ut
Burlington the year previous, and at White
River junction in SO. Perhaps Rutland, St.
Adams, Windsor, or st. Johnsbury even, would
be either well enough, We believe in distribu-
ting around, 50 that all may with equal facili-
ties, mix in the doings of Conventions; butthe
State Committee are authorized to fix these
things. As to what it's action will be- there
need be no doubts The present most worthy
and faithful State officers are entitled by cour
tesy and usage to a re nomination. AS to prln-
cples-the bred Scott decision, and the partial
ity in the refusal to admit Kansas, are not yet
forgotten while the agitation of the question
of rr-opening the Slave Trade, and the hsscness
of the trials of the Oberlin rescuers, are too
prominent topics to be overlooked. Vermont
will recommend to OHIO the enactment of her
Personal Liberty laws, and extend her sympathy
