The BUoKwHEAT STRAW PR1NoIPLE.-P

The BUoKwHEAT STRAW PRINoIPLE.-Per-
haps mother and marriageable daughter readers
do not know what kind of principle the buck
wheat straw principle is. We proceed to tell
them. Mrs. Payne, pioneers wife, living
near Rising Sun, Indiana, married all her
daughters, as she said, on that principle. She
thus explained her success in getting her daught-
ers, married to the first men of the country -
"You may let your buckwheat straw lie in the
open field, where your cattle run without fence,
as long as you please, and they will never e4i
straw of it but just put light, rickety fence T.
round it, let the cattle break over, and dog them
out few times; still mend up the fence, an
they will break down your fence again, and {,
up the straw clean SO with the boys and no
girls. My daughters were well raised, go.y.
looking, smart and finely dressed; they attended
public gatherings, and were much admired. [
kept my eyes Oh them, and whenever one .;
them was accompanied home by a young man
just such as | would like, would privatey- tell
some of his associates that he must never be
seen about my house again, or it would not Ja
good for him. The principle never failed to o.
ate, clandestine marriage soon followed the
new son-in-law was forgiven, and all thing,
moved on smoothly, until another daughter was
marriageable."

SIGNATURE OF THE CROss.--The mark which
persons who are unable to write are required to
make instead of their signature, is in the form
of cross, and this practice, having formerly
been followed by kings and nobles is constantly
referred to as an instance of the deplorable ig-
norance of ancient times. This signature is not,
however, invariably proof of such ignorance
Ancent,y, tie use of this mark was not confin-
ed to illiterate persons; for amongst the Saxons
the mark of the cross, as an attestation of the
good faith of the person signing was required to
be attached to the signature of those who could
write as well as to stand in the place of the sig
nature of those who could not write. In those
times, if man could write, or even read, his
knowledge was considered proof presumptive
that he was in holy orders. The word cericus
or clerk was synonymous with penman: and
the laity or people were not clerks, did not feel
any urgent necessity for the letters. The an
cient use of the cross was therefore universal,
by alike those who could and those who could
not write; it was, indeed the symbol of an oath
from its holy associations, and generally the
mark. On this account Mr.. Charles Knight in
his notes to the Pictorial Shakespeare, explains
the expression of "God save the Mark" as a
form of ejaculation approaching to the character
of an oath. This phrase occurs three or more
times in the plays Of Shakespeare; but hitherto
it has been left by the commentators in its orig
inal obscurity.

SWALLOWED HoLE-The other day, Char
lie, five years old, found one of those curious
bone-rimmed circles, which, l believe ladies
have named eyelets, and while playing in the
garden swallowed it. The family were in the
house, busily engaged on work on entomology.
when Charlie ran in with mouth wide open and
eyes distended to their utmost capacity. His mo-
ther caught him by the arm, and trembling with
that anxiety which only mother can feel, in
quired:

The urchin all agape articulated, "watern

POETRY.

Our Little LiZZie's Dead.
LINES AFFECTIoNATELY INSCRIBED TO MRS. sHRY I
JENNIE SALTzGIvER.
Gone forever is our sunbeam,
Ger our hearts deaths cast gloom,
Now our little Lizze sleepeth
In the lonely. silent tomb.
Darling lisper how we miss thee,
With thy mirthful winsome way.
Sometimes warbling childish music,
Chasing gloomy clouds away.
Now your little chair stands vacant,
All your toys are laid aside,
With the garments that how often
Thou vast robed with mothers pride.
Now thou'st gone from us forever,
Cold in death thy angel brow,
From the lips that used to kiss US
Warmth of life is taken now.
For we saw her form grow weaker,
And deaths dimness in her eye,
Heard her voice grow fainter, fainter,
Saw, at last, our Lizzie die.
Shall we never more behold thee,
Little darling loved so well?
eyes," thy angel Lizzie whispers,
"Parents come to where dwell"
"See this crown upon my forehead,
And this harp withlnf hand
Mother, father, come, III greet you
In my home-this happy land
Where the pain. of death and sorrow
Is not felt-we part no more;
Loved of earth keep near thy Saviour
If you'd reach that blissful Shore"
Words SO sweet that spirit whispers,
Parents let it cheer thy heart,
Yes the voice of thy loved Lizzie,
She from whom you had to part.
So, sad parents, could her voice
From above, fall on thy ear,
Kindly cheer you, for bright angels
Love above, their parents dear.
