commodities that our friends arc willing 10
bestow upon us for nothing, and which we
cannot afford to accept, even gratuitously y.
It seems to have been the same, at for.

tells US that, when he was returning from
the funeral Of his wife, doing his best to
look disconsolate, such Of his neighbors as
had grown-up daughters and cousins came

Il Scotchman's Sermon on Modeyg

let me caution ye, my brethren, not to be

Judge Dooly, Of Georgia, has frequently
filled page in Harper's Drawer. Many
yet Of his pranks are untold. Bob Harper,
who lived on kittIc Creek, in Wilkes

Bob WAS wag, and said he would
have the worth Of his money out of the

passing by Bob's house on the creek,
which was swoolen by heavy rain, he
wanted to know if the creek was swimming.

wrathy, cold, and shivering.
Bob was still OH his side Of the creek,

instantly. 1t is scarcely down before it be-

naming contents of the stomach and lest
there be any remnant of poison, however
small. let the white OF an egg or n teacup

the stomach is quiet; because tl,ese very
common articles nullify large number Of
vIruIent poisons than any medicines in tho
shops. In cases Of scadi"g or burning the
body, immersing the part in the cold water
gives relief as instantaneously as lightning.

BE A MAN.
By LOGAN.

Cease your whining, coase your fretting
Cease your railing at your lot;
You've no time for useless dreaming,
These complaings profit not
. What if life is not all pleasure.
Fretting wont relieve the pain
Noble souls havo never leisure,
At misfortune TO complain.
Meet misfortunc's dropping willows,
Like the sailor meets the storm,
Just to ride upon its pillows.
Till they bear him to his bourn.
Catch the breeze or you'll succeed not !;
Life's for labor, not for sport;
Quiet seas thy way will speed not,
Gains wont bring thee into port.
If you would yourself be happy,
You must happiness impart;
Bless your neighbors all around you,
Twill return to your own heart.
Let your sympathies flow outward,
With the sorrowful condolc:
Let your smiles be like the sunshine,
Cheering every weary soul.
All which you may be desiring,
May not lie within your power;
Yet, what God is now requiring,
Is, do well the present hour;
Go, and now relieve life's sorrows,
Let not indolence prevail
Hewho waits until tomorrow
10 do good, will surely fall.
Let your aim be high md holy,
And your motive strong and true;
Life has pleasure for the lowly,
Life has something still to do.
Idle hands arc always weary,
Selfish natures know no joy;
Loving souls arc ever CHEEKY,
Toiling spirits never cloy.
Onward, upward, mounting higher,
On each wave.top as it rolls;
Fill your soul with manly fire,
Labor is for noble souls.
Fight Gods battles, till your Master
Bids you lay your armor down;
lie has reward prepared,
Bear the cross and wear the crown.

THE LABORER AND WARRIOR.
DT ErES SARGENT

The camp has had its day of song;
The sword, the bayonet, the plume,
Have crowded out Of rhyme too long
The plow, the anvil, and the loom:
o: not upon our tented fields
Are freedom heroes bred alone;
The training Of the workshop yields
More heroes true than war has known.
Who drives the dray, who shapes the steel
May with heart rs valiant smitc,
As nc who sees Il foennn reel
In blood before his blow ofmight
The skill that conquers space and time,
That graccs life, that lightcns toll,
May spring from courage more sublime,
Than that which makes realm its spoil
Let labor. ticn look up and sec
His craft no pith of honor lacks;
The soldiers rifle yct shall be
Less honorcd than the woodman's axc:
Let art his own appointment prize,
Nor deem TINT gold or outward light
Can compensate the worth that lies
In tastes that breed their own delight
And may the time draw nearer still
When man this sacred truth shall heel,
That fromthc thought and from the will
Must all that raises man proceed;
Though pride may hold our calling low,
For us shall duty make it good:
And VIC from truth to truth shall 60.
Till life and heart be understood.
