Summer in tn, Country.

The bright skies, green trees, ripening
corn, broad meadows, orchards and gardens,
streams and rivers, the ever-varying and
ever-beautiful aspects of The country wear
their most inviting garb at this season of the
year; and those of as who are compelled
10 dwell in the labyfinths of brickwork,
called towns and cities, sigh for the healthy
breeze and bright face of Nature. Who
amongst us-at this time of the year, at ali
even,s-would not willingly exchange all
the pleasures of town for quiet home ia
the country!
We want wholesome air. Air, SAYS old
Fuller, is dish one feeds on every minute.
and therefore it must needs be good. We
want light, Gods eldest daughter; such a
fair, bright light as never shines in town.
We want pleasant prospect, medley of
land and water; something that shall refresh
us with lis beauty and tranquility We
want garden where we may rusticaie, and
sit beneath the shadow OF old trees gar
den that shall yield US flowers and fruits
We want home to live in, fit for the sum-
mer weather, that shall look pleasant, and
like cheerful friend, seem to welcome rs
when come home, and that shall be thor
oughly comfortable in all lis arrangements.
How we long for the pleasant walk in the
| shady lane-for the ramble in the wood,
where of old we gathered nuts and black
berries for the velvety meadow, where the
lounging kline are blinking in the sunshine
for the path through the cornfeIds, on the
yellow upland! for the wide prospect from
/ the hill that stretches away TO sea.
Lord Bacon tells US LucuIIus answered
Pompey well, who, when he saw his stately
galleries and rooms SO large and welI-light-
ed in one of his houses, said. "Surely, an
excellent place for summer, but how do you
do in winterq'
The migration OF the swallows has enga-
ged the attention of every obseuant man,
and is one of the many remarkable illus
trations of the animal instinct. Winter is
unknown TO the swallows for they leave the
green meadows before il arrives, and live a
life of enjoyment among the myrtle and
| orange groves of Italy and the palms of
| Africa. In this respect we cannot copy
their example, and indeed il would be tedi.
Gus work; and but comparatively few of rs
can adopt the plan of Luculius, possess
ourselves OF separate mansions, especially
suitable for summer or winter; but, thanks
| 10 steamboats, and railways, we can enjoy
the fresh air and green fields for a trihe,
coming back TO their homes, wherever they
may be, all the better and brighte. for our
trip-our frames invigorated by the change
of air and mode of life, and our minds
stored with new ideas.

THE UNWELCOME PASSENGER.

A cold winters night found stage load
ern bar room in New England village
Shortly after we arrived, peddler drove up
and ordered that his horse should be sta
bled for tie night. Alter we had eaten
supper we repaired to the bar room, and
soon as the ice was broken the conversation
flowed freely. Several anecdotes had been
related, and finally the peddler was asked
to give US a story, as men OF his profession
were generally full of adventures and anec-
dotes. He was a short, thicks set man,
somewhere about forty years o: age, and
gave evidence o. physical strength. He
gave his name as Lemuel Viney, and his
home was in Dover, New Hampshire.
Well, gentlemen" he commenced
knocking the ashes from his pipe. and put
ting it in his pocket, suppose tell you of
about the last thing that happened TO me
You see | am now right from the far west,
and on my way home for winter quarters.
II was about two months ago, one pleasant
evening, that pulled up at the door of
small village tavern in Hancock county, In
| said it was pleasant meant, it was
warm, but it was cloudy and likely 10 be
very dark. | went in and called for supper,
and had my horse taken care of, and after
had eaten sat down in the bar-room. II
began 10 rain about eight o'clock, and for
awhile it poured down good, and it was
awful dark out of doors.
"Now, wanted to be in Jackson early
the next morning, for expected load OF
goods there for me which intended to dis
pose of on my way home. The moon
would rise about midnight, and knew. If it
did not rain, ] could get along very comfort
ably through the mud arter that. So ask
ed the landlord if he could not see that my
horse was fed about midnight, as | wished
10 be of before two. He expressed some
surprise at this, and asked me why didn't
sop for breakfast. told him | had sold
my last load about all out, and that new
lot of goods was waiting for me at Jackson,
and / wanted to be there before the express
train left in the morning. There was
nnmber Of people sitting round while told
:
this, but took little notice of them one
only arrested my attention. had in my
possession a small package of play-cards,
which was to deliver to the Sheriff at
Jackson, and they were notices for the de-
teciion of notorious robber, named Dick
Hardhead. The bills gave description of
his person, and the man before me answer
ed very well to ii. In fact, it was perfect.
He was tall. welI-forned man rather slight
OF frame. and bad the appearance of gen.
flsman, save shat his lace bore those hard,
cruel marks which an observing man can
not mistake for anything but the index to a
yiIIainous disposition
aWhen went TO my chamber I asked
the landlord who lha. man was, describing
the suspicious individual He said he did
not know him. he bad come there that af-
iepoon, erd intended 70 leave tho next day.

They had paid pretty dearly for the whis.

StimulantS,

The Louisville Journal beautifully says
"There are times when the pulse 'lies low
in the bosom, and beats slow in the veins
when the spirit sleeps the sleep, apparent
ly, that knows no waking, in lis house of
clay, and the window shutters are closed,
and the door is hung with the invisible
Grape of melancholy; when we wish the
golden sunshine, pitchy bIackness, and ev-
er willing 10 fancy clouds where no clouds
be- This is state of sickness when physic
may be thrown 10 the dogs, for we will
have none of it. What shall raise the sleep
ing Lazarus What shall make the heart
beat music again. and the pulses dance to it
through all the myriad thronged halls in our
house of life What shall make the sun
kiss the Eastern hills again for US with all
his old awakening gIadness, and the night
overflow with moonlight, music, love and
flowersP Love itself is the great stimulent
the most intoxicating OF all-and performs
all these miracles but it is miracle itself,
and is not at the drug Store, whatever they
say. The counterfeitis in the market, but

"Men have tried many things-but still
they ask FOR stimulants. The stimulants we
use, but require the use of more. Men try
20 drown the floating dead of their own
souls in the wine cup, but the corpses will
rise. We see their faces in the bubbles
The inloxication OF drink sets the world
whirling again, and the pulses playing wild
est music, aud the thoughts galloping-but
the fast clock runs down sooner, and the
unnatural stimulation only leaves the house
it fills with widest revelry, more silent,
more sad, more deserted, more dead.
There is only one stimulent that never
fails, and YET never intoxicates-duty. Duty
puts blue sky over every mau-up in his
heart may be-into which the skylark Hap

THE FATHERLESS.

Speak softly TO the fatherless
And check the harsh.reply
That sends the crimson TO the cheek,
The iear-drop to The eye;
They have the weight oil loneliness,
In this wide world TO bear;
Then gently raise the fallen bud,
The dropping foweret spare.
Speak kindly 10 the fatherless
The lowliest of their band
God keepeth, as the waters,
In the hollow OF his hand.
'Tis sad to see life's evening sun
Go down in sorrows shroud;
But sadder still when the morning dawn
is darkened by the cloud.
Look mildly on the fatherlessI
Ye may have power 10 wiIs
Their hearts from saddened memory,
By the magic of smile,
Deal gently with these little ones
Be pitiful, and He,
The friend and father OF us all,
Shall gently deal with thee.

merchant and one of his customers:
"Sir-Your account has been standing for
two years, and must have it settled imme-

tion. If it has been standing too long sup.
pose you let il run a little while"

NY PRIVATE OPINIONS.
BY ROUGH AND READY.


Mankind are no better than robbers,
And Charity proves but lie;
Salvation is doled ont by jobbers;
Benevolence's all in your eye.
Friendships thing of convenience;
Happiness does not exist
Hope-something far in the distance
Honor-a prize fighters fist.
Con:entment is found in the gutter,
And wealth comes of robbing the poor !;
Trust steals the bread and the butter
From every grocery store.
True greatness is being successful,
No matter how wrong or how right;
True love, while it lasts, is quite blissful
But it seldom remains over night.
SANDER is something quite common;
Where IL touches II raises a blister;
It's much used by every true woman
Who is anxious to hold ''frail sister,"
True Virtue sorry old maid is,
Whose looks keep temptations away,
While fashion makes all our fine ladies
Who live only 10 make display.
Poverty is the worst of all evils;
Twill keep you in bondage for life,
Change all your relations to-deUils,
And make poor slave of your wife.
Your children are objects of pity;
Arisiocracy christians the '.brats; )"
They are kicked about over our city
Like go many troublesome rats.
Christianity dwells where the s,eeple
Lifts up lis tall form towards heaven,
And belongs to priviledged people
Who are christians just one day in seven.
Religion is something TOO holy
For common mankind 10 possess
Ii is with the meek aud the lowly
Who do soEIeIhing more than "profess."
DeceP Pion IS found IL all places
'Tis confined 10 no section or class;
We all have its mark on our faces;
To prove it-just look in The glass
The star of the north. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1849-1866, 1860-09-12

A BEAUTIFUL lDEA.-Away among the
Alleghanies, there is spring so small that
a single OK, in summers day could drain
it dry. Ii steals It's unobtrusive way among
the hills, Till it spreads out in the beautiful
Ohio.
Thence it stretches out thousand miles,
leaving on It's banks more than hundred
villages and cities, and many a cultivated
farm, and bearing-on its bosom more than
half thousand steamboats,. Then joining
The Mississippi, it stretches away and away
some twelve hundred miles more till it falls
into the great emblem OF eternity. II is one
of the great tributaries of the ocean, which,
obedient only to God, shall roll and roar till
the angel with one foot on sea, and the
other on the land, shall lift up his hands to
heaven, and swear that time shall not be no
longer. So with moral influence. 1t is a
rill-a rivulet-an ocean, boundless and
fathomless as eternity.
