4 WORD or ADVICE.
We earnestly hope tha, the dcmonstra.
tions made On Monday aud Tuesday last
will have the effect Of showing this man
Hanson, and all others Of that ilk, that
their presence here is source Of irrita-
ton, leading otherwise innocent men IN
to trouble, probably causing the loss Of
valuable lives. The lesson of the las,
few days, We think, will not be lost up
on them, and Hanson has before this
time, no doubt, left this portion
Of State, and will hereafter profit
by our adyice-never again to show his
face among US. If be docs, We will no.
be answerablc for the consequences.

BEAUTIFUL. ODE.

BY J. q. WHITTIER.
This day two hundred years ago,
The wild grape by the river side,
And tastless ground nut trailing low
The table Of the wood supplied.
Unknown the apples red and gold,
The blushing tints Of peach and pear
The mirror Of the Power told
No tale Of orchard rare.
Wild as tho fruits he scornel to till,
These wales the idle Indian trod;
Nor knew the glad creative skill,
The JOY Of him who tolls with God.
o painter Of the fruits and flowers!
We thank thee for thy wise designs,
Whereby these human hands Of ours
In Natures garden work with thine.
And thanks, that from CUR daily need
The JOY Of simple faith is borne;
That he who smites the summer weed,
May trust thee Cor tho Autumn corn.
Give fools their gold md knives their power
Let fortunes bubbles rise and fall;
Who sows field, or trains flower,
Or plants tree is more than al.
For he who blcsses most is blest;
Aud God and man sail own his wortl,
Who tolls to live at his bcqnest
And added beauty to the earth.
And soon or late, to all that SOW,
The time Of harvest shall be given,
The flowers shall bloom, the fruits shall
grow,
II not on earth, at least in heaven.

A COOP SToRY.-In the village Of
W lived man who had once been judge
of the county, and was known all over it
by the name of Judge l.. He Kept a
store and saw-mill, and was always sure to
have the best of a bargain on his side, by
which means he had gained an ample COM
potency, and some did not hesitate to call |
him the "biggest rascal in the world. -
He was very conceited withal, and used |
to brag of his business capacity when any
one was near to listen. One rainy day, as
quite a number of men were seated around
the stove in the store, he began as usual,
to tell of his great bargains, and finally
wound up with
''Nobody ever cheated me; nor can't,
neither"
Judge" said an old man Of the compa-
ny, 'Ive cheated you more than you ever
did me-"
"How so?" said the Judge
off you'll promise you won't 90 to law
about it, I'll tell, or else [ won't; you are
too much of law character for me-"
"Let' S hear. let's hear cried half doz-
en- voices at once. "We'll bear you out in
it-go on"
"1'll PROMISE" said the Judge, ''and

"Wel, do you remember that wagon
you robbed me out Of %
Il never robbed you out Of wagon; |
only got my own"
"Well, l made up my mind to have it
back, and"
"But you never did," cried the Judge
eyes | did and interest too"
"How?" thundered the now enraged
Judge.
"Well, you see, Judge, sold you one
day very nice pine log, and bargaineG
with you for lot more. Well, that log
stole off your pile, down by the mill, the
night before, and the next day | sold 1t t.
you The next night [ drew it back home
and sold it to you the next day; and SO
kept on till you bought your own log o
me twenty-seven times"
That's a lie" exclaimed the mad Judge
running to his book and examining hi
log accounts you never sold me twenty
seven logs of the same measurement.

"By drawing it back and forth the en'

A LANTERN CANE-One of the most
unique of recent Yankee inventions Is a
cane, which is also a lantern-a stout Gle
CANT walking stick, and brilliant, steady
light. The lantern is set i'll the body of
the cane about six inches from its top, and
so as not to disfgure its proportions or
beauty, and can be lit at pleasure by pulling
the cane apart, or borne along dead, when
the cane without observation, is undistin-
ruishable from an ordinary large sized
walking stick. 1t is a useful invention toI
doctors. watchmen, editors of daily papers
Young men who 'sit up" late with people
who amt their sister, and all other classes
who have to be out o nights.

''Lord Keep My Memory Green:
BY CHARLES DICKENS.

Lord. keep my memory green,
Whatever intervene,
How rough soccer life's voyage may prove to
me;
would not lose remembrance of the good,
Nor shrink from thoughts of ills long since
withstood-
Lord, keep my memory green!
Lord, keep my memory green
The boisterous and serene,
That which hath caused tear or forced a
smile.
Let both their true reality impart,
And fix their record deeply in my heart
Lord, keep my memory greeni
Lord, keep my memory green
Through lfes conflicting scene!
But should the hand of time Obliterate
Aught from my mind, and some chance pages
blot,
Let friends and benefits be ne'er forgot
Lord, keep my memory green!
