The Rich are not the Happiest.

A man in his carriage was riding along,
A gaily dressed wife by his side;
In satin and laces she looked like queen,
And he like king in his pride.
A wood-sawyer stood on the street as he past
The carriage and couple he eyed,
And said, as he worked with his saw on q log,
81 wish / was rich and could ride"
The man in the carriage remark cd to his wife,
"0nc thing would do if could
I'd give all my wealth for the strength ana
the health
OF the man who sawoth the wood"
A pretty young maid with bundle of work,
Whose face as the morning was fair,
Went tripping along with smile of delight,
While humming loye-breathing air.
She looked in the carriage, the lady she saw
Arrayed in apparel so fine,
And said in whisper, " l wish from my heart
Those satins and laces were mine."
The lady looked out on the maid with her work,
So fair in her calico dress,
An said: "I'd relinquish position and wealth,
Her beauty and youth to possess"
Thus 1t is in the world, whatever our lot,
Our minds and our time employ,
In longing and signing for what we have not
Ungratcful for what we enjoy.

SMALL FARMS AND PLENTY OF MAN
URE.-H. p. Sloan, in the Rockford Reg
istcr, talks right to the point as follows !:
=" If farmer has but forty or eighty
acres to cultivate, and has stack-yard
or barn to which he draws all his grain to
thresh, and there lets his stock live thro'
the winter, converting all his straw into
manure, he can make manure enough to
keep the forty or eighty acres in as good
condition for growing good crops from
generation to generation. Also, small
farm, thus managed, is much more profit
able, in proportion to large farm con-
Quoted in the usual way. There are few
or acres to pay taxes upon; there is less
money invested; there is less fencing to
make and keep in repair, leaving the own
er much less expense, and greater prof
it according to the capital invested and
expended"

vorable for navigation, was the most SO
for health, and thank God our precautions
were successful. The Kroomen, from
Sierra Leone have had more of il than

that SO far from Europeans being unable
to work in hot climate, it is the want of
work that kills them. The Portuguese all

them settle down, and smoke, or drink

AT the same meeting Mr.. Folsom in
troduced M. Du Chaillu, the African
traveller, who read paper detailing his
adventures for four years in Central Af-
rica, under the meridian, among the can
nibal and other tribes. The trade of
these savages, he said, seemed to be con-
fined to an exchange of dead bodies on
which to feed. Human bones were found
in large quantities, everywhere around
their villages. He was never in danger
amongst them, inasmuch as he was re-
garded as magician, and they were
afraid of him. The tribes of negros in
Central Africa, other than the cannibals,
were numerous. He had visited 25 of
them, but found, Notwithstanding that,
the country was generally very sparsely
populated.
The gorilla, that terrible monster which
bears such an unpleasant likeness to man,
formed perhaps the most interesting topic
of M. Du Chaillu's lecture. It's existence
was long doubted by naturalists, and to
America belongs the credit of discovering,
or rather re-discovering it. The lecturer
exhibited the skull of one these animals,
and gave description Of their habits,
size, strength &C., in terms with which,
from their frequent publication, readers
are sufficiently familiar, but which were

their hands upon their chest "a mode of
expressing. their anger) is audible at n
distance OF one mile.

WARDS Ice BoAT-Wiard's Ice Boat
was put into successful operation at Prai-
rie du Chien on the 1lth inst, and proves
a decided success. The trial trip 10 Lafay-
cite, distance of thirty-two miles, was
made in 2:l0, returning in two hours and
carrying twenty passengers. On the 18th
inst, at p. NJ, the boat left with a
large party for Galena, instead of St.
Paul, on account of there being less snow
on the ice in that direction.
Professor Wizard hopes to make the
trip from Prairie du Chen to Dunleith, in
less than five hours. The inventor and
his friend are greatly elated with the sue
cess of the ice boat, which will prove n
new era in steam navigation. Orders
have been given for the construction of
another ice boat, which, when completed,
will run between Galena and Prairie du
Chen. Rockford, ILL.,, News.

Daniel Webster on Abolitionism.


Daniel Webster, in the United States
Senate, spoke as follows:
Snow, sir, this prejudice has been pro.
duced by the incessant attrition of aboli-
tion doctrines, by abolition presses, and
abolition lectures upon the common mind.
No drum head IN tie longest days march
was ever moro necessarily beaten than
the feelings of the public in certain parts
of the North. They have been beaten
eoery month and every dag and every
hour by THE DIN AND ROLL AND RUB-A
DUB OF THE ABOLITION PRESSES AND ABB
CLIFTON LECTURERS, and that it is that
which has created these prejudices."
And, again he declared:
Il am against agitators North and
South. And against all narrow and To-
cal contests. am an American, aud |
know no locality in America. My heart,
my sentiments, my judgment, demand of
me that | should pursue such a course as
shall promote the good, and The harmony,
and the union Of the whole country. This

chapter"

The shades of night have fallen beau
tifully upon all the weary world. The
moon beams gladden. all the hills. The
stars come out like angels of love and
mercy. All are sleeping, forgetful and
happy, yet linger by the open easement
to gaze upon those bright beauties of ma
ture, to drink in one draught of heavens
own pure air. Yet am sorrowful; and
on this glorious eve, at this hushed mid
night hour, all thoughts and feelings seem
to turn back upon incidents of the past
when in boyish glee | went my way re-
joicing. Now tits not so. All JOY seems
hushed, days steal on; / sleep and waken,
but no change. Yet life is what we make
it. Why not call back images of JOY and
gladness as those of grief and care! We
came forth in childhood's morn to gath
er flowers. Because in our way we have
dropped few, we will not sit down to
weep over the lost, but rather amuse our
selves by admiring those We have left us.

The earliest recollection of my life is the
calm, blue eye of n devoted mother, as
she bent over my couch in infancy and
taught me "Our Father which art in
Heaven" And often in after life, when
my wayward heart would have led mo
into folly and crime, the glance Of that
mild eye, the pressure of her soft hand,
and the music of her mellow voice, re-
strained me; and, to-day, my mind calls
up no holy joy of my early life in which
her memory, like an ever present spirit,

FRESH AIR.-Give your children plen-
ty of fresh air. Let them snuff it until
it sends the rosy current of life dancing
joyfully to thci temples. Air is so cheap,
and so necessary with all, that every child
should have free access to it. Horace
Mann beautifully says, "To put your
children on a short allowance Of fresh air,
is as foolish rs it would have been for
Noah, during the deluge, to have put his
family on q short allowance Of water.-
Since God has poured out an atmosphere
of fifty miles deep, it is enough to mako
a miser weep to see our children stinted
in breath.

The Bitter Bitten.

High up in air, the sea-mew spies
An oyster lying on the strand,
Gaping with open shell to inhale
The summer breeze from off the land.
To seize the luscious morsel quick,
With sudden swoop and deadly pick,
The sea bird darts his horny beak
Between the oysters shell;
But, closing on it quick as thought,
The bird is by the oyster caught!
And nipped so tight and WELL
That, strive and struggle as he may
To free his beak and get away,
He keeps him captive, firmly bound,
Till with return tide he is drowned.
Who to themselves would all appreciate
OF that they SEQ deserve the sea-mew's fate !;
Nor doth he fail to meet it, soon or late,
Whose nose is thrust in everybody's plate.

CATCHING BEEs.-A simple contri-
vance has been invented by M. Dagon, of
Moret-sur-Loing, in France, for receiving
and iuclosing bees from the hive, or when
swarming. 1t consists, says the London
Bulletin, of an elongated muslin bag,
distended on cane hoops, and opening and
shutting at the mouth by q running string.
The bag being attached to the branch on
which the bees arc swarming, and the in-
side rubbed with honey, all the bees will
soon make their way TO the bottom, when
tho mouth can be closed and the bees con-
veyod away in the bag. The same con
trivance is applied 20 abstract the bees
from the hive and obtain the honey.
