WHY BE UNHAPPY.

What's the use to be unhappy,
What's the use to fume and fret
What's the use to look behind you,
Nursing up the vain regret
What if life is clouded over
With its sorrows dark and wild
What if fortune does not look sternly?
Hath she never sometimes smiled?
Why, if you must taste the bitter,
Will you fling the sweet away?
Fighting even with the crosses
That you meet from day to day.
Why disquiet those around you
With complaints you should suppress
Weary, those whom duty bids you
Still to comfort and to bless
Look at yonder little insect,
Sporting in the suns bright beams;
Listen now, and hear the music
Ofyour laughing little streams,
Look at nature all around you,
And above, where'er you stray!
Mute creations ever singing!
Happy | it seems to say.
What's the use to be unhappy?
What's the use to fume and fret?
Pluck up courage, laugh at trifes,
And you may be happy yet.

RUSSIAN BABIEs.-It is said that Russian ba-

ed out and the rest of the body left in block
The appearance is caused by their being rolled up
in tight bandages, Qeaving only the head out,) so
that they may be put away out of mischief and
danger. On going into Russian house, you may
find one little fellow left a shelf, another hung
to wall on peg, third hung over one of the
main beams of the roof, and rocked by the mother
who has the cord looped over her foot.
"Why, that is child"' you exclaim, looking close
to be sure You are not mistaken.

you cannot help asking-"When was it washedr'

Grave Yard Robbery in Albany,

A little after midnight on Saturday
night, cry for help wa, heard to pro
eced from one of the grave yards oD the
hill. Some half dozen men, in porter
house near by, went to the rescue of the
person from whom the cries came. On
crossing the grave yard fence, and CROP
ing among the graves they found the re-
quest for help to proceed from a person
in what appeared to be a half dug grave.
In bis arms was corpse, while upon him
wss such quantity of dirt, that be could
not move an inch. Shnvels were immii-
ately obtained, aud the strange man in
the strange grave rescued from his peril
Gus position. 1t was then discovered
that he was a resurrcctionist. He con-
fessed that be and another rascal By the
name Of Johnson had been hired to pro-
cure dead body for physician for ff
teen dollars; that after reaching the yard
he entered the grave, raised the lid of the
cofiu, took out the dead body, and was
just in the act of passing the same to John
son, when the grave caved in upon hin
in the manner in which be was found.
The moment the disaster occurred,
johnson made good his escape, and fed
towards Schenectady. The man found
in the grave gave bis name as Bellew, and
says be resides at Troy. Mr.. Bellew
having been freed from death, was offer
ed choice of puni, ,bment-an arrest for
felony, or a hundred lasbes on the bare
back With raw hide. Mr. Bellew pre-
ferred the latter. The raw hide was pro-
cured, and Mr. Bellew treated tothe hun
dred lashes By young man named Van
Keuren. He submitted to the inlictiou
like a martyr, without making any out
cry whatever. Having received the hun
dred lashes be was allowed to dep art
He also put towards Schenectady. Mr..
Van keureu and friends having admins
justice to the resurrectionist, replaced the
corpse in the coffin, and again filed in
the grave.
