A GOOD CROW STORY.

The pathological reporter of the
Bunker Hill Aurora is responsible for
the following:
A few days ago very large flock
Of crows visited Chelsea beach, to
obtain food, it being difficult for them
TO get enough elsewhere-the ground
being covered with snow, and the
brooks and ponds sealed up with ice.
They numbered by estimation a thou.
sand, or more,a and were probably from
the South journeying horthward. they
were very hungry and would eat
rockwecd, seaweed, muscles, clans, OF
any animal matter which they could
find. A couple. of gunners on the
beach from Maiden, who informed us
ofthese facts, state that they shot tif:
teen wild ducks that day and evening,
some of which they did not find until
next morning; and in the meantime
the crows had picked their feather.
off, and eaten their bodies, all except.
ing the skeletons, which were picked
clean. One duck had dived under the
ice in creek, and died there, and the
crows picked down through the ict
and eat the flesh all off his breast.

"Hc who labors for mankind, without q

We clip the above from the 'sWi

long to the aoiStseia persuasion; it CO

dom in it, it is not very obvious to MS
and VIC think it is greatly liable to be
abused in aplication: This is an age
of. reforms, and aliitust every one
thinks he has mission as a !efort,1er=

enough for ever one to be a rcformer,
the mistake is in going away from
home to find q stub jeUt for reformation,

most effective way to work for the
good of mankind is to make the mos,

Of all the pitifhl objects one ltieets, the
most so are those deluded beings who
imagine they ate doing God and
Humanity service by spending all
their time and energies on reforming

llREnTY IN RIilrAlN.

Real liberty is plant of very SLOW
growth. They have been cultivatins
for centuries, in Great Britaia, th,
rude original: until it begins THANKS t
the improvement to Which it has beer
siibjected!i to look very much like the
genuine thing. Wheh England, .
short time ago, got UP her penny
Journals, we did think She was iii q
fair way to become (except in natne)
truly republican. We thought thai
the spirit of democracy had waved its
pinions to soma purpose over tina,
country-tor we look on the disscmin'
|tion of universal intelligence as the
first element in the composition OF
liberty. Who would have believed,
before that, in such an innovation
Upon aristocratic principles, even in a
Kingdom so liberal in its Interpretation
Of hunian rights? We considered the
reign Of blgdtrj atid i1tUlereltce over.
We fancied that church sutrenaey
and exclusive privileges were all ap-
preaching their ettd, and we rejoiced
at the coming millennium.
We were mistaken, however. Lib
erty is easily enough planted; but does
not flourish in all its vigor and health
fllness, without assiduous care and
patient" painstaking. The penny
journal system, as 4 system has failed
in England. The people were not
prepared for it. The masses were not
sufficiently educated, III advance, to
enable them to appreciate a newspaper
at its real worth; nor were they favor
ed with sufficient political Influence to
make a newspaper deeply interesting
to them as an exponent Of the popular
opinion. The penny journal system
was ahead Of the age in that country.
1t must bide it's time. 1t will sttcceed
BY and by, when the public mind has
been ripened for its use. Now it is a
supcrduity. But the time is coming
when universal suffrage and universal
education will do their work. They
will pave the way for the penny press.
They will make it a necessity. And
then, with general knowledge Of
ofhuman rights, will come a generous
expansion Of political sylnpathies.-
Thus will liberty ''beautiful on the
hill tops . becompjust as beautiful in
the plains and valleys of Great Britain.

WAR AID Ahf.

In his second lecture on the
Political Economy of Art" Mr..
Ruskin speaks Of the balefal influence
which war exerts on art:
''Fancy what we should have
around us nov, if; instead Of qurrel.
ling and fighting over their work, of if
even in their conquests, instead or ef;
facing the memorials Of those who
succeed and subdued, they had guard
ed the spoils of their victories. Fancy
what Europe would be now, if tho
delicate statues and temples of tho
Grecks--if the broad roads and mas
site walls of the Romans lift the noble
and pathetic architecture of the mid
die ages, hnd been ground to dust by
mere h,tmah rage. You talk of the
scytl.e oftFiaee, a,adsts,e tooth Of Time
It tells you, Time is toothless and
and scythless; it is we who gnaw like
the worti1--:we who smite like the
scythe. It is who abolish ourselves
ourselves who consume.
We are the mildew, and the flame
and the soul Of man is to it's own
work as the moth, that frets when i,
cannot fly, and as the hidden fame
that blasts where it cannot illume.-
All the lost treasures ofhuman intel
lect have been wholly destroyed by
hutt1ah industry Of destruction
the marble would have stood It's two
thousand years in the polished statute
as in the Parian cliff but we mer
have ground it to powder, and mixed
it with our own ashes. The walls and
the ways wonld have stood-it is VIZ

Ex-PREs1DENT BUCHANAN.

Mr.. Buchanan's style of living, since
his ret,trh liott1e,is as it has always
been when here, plain and unostenta.
tious. Occasionally he is visited by
some Of his personal friends, who are
treated with the hospitality which we
might expect to receive from polite,
well-ihformed country gentlemen
zone of the olden time." His four
years association Among the refined
and brilliant circles Of Washington,
has hot in the slightest degree, dis
posed him in his retirement to initiate
the flash and fashion which blazed
around him there. Everything is
quiet and unobtrusive, strictly in ac-
cordance with the Democracy of the
old school, and entirely stripped Of it's
court tinsel or its tnitniekery. Al
though the owt1er Of as fine span Of
horses as I have ever seen, and a su-
|perb carriage, he prefers walking into
the city to church on Sabbath morn
ing, and during the week to the post
Office, where he can usually be found.
This will not bc the case, however,
after the Republican, Mr.. Cochran and
his assistants, have taken possession.
But no doubt his quarters then will be
equally agreeable. He discusses little
now about Government affairs, his
appetite in relation to them,no dottbt,
having long since been fully satisfied;
and quite as little of prominent and
distinguished men, his experience, like
that Of many others, being that they
are not always the safest counsellors
or those in whom the largest amount
Of confidence can be reposcd. He il

Like spectral hounds across the sky,
The white clouds scud before the storm
And naked in the bowling night 81
The red-eyed light house lifts its foriii.
The waves with slippery fingers clutch
The massive tower, and climb and fall,
And, mnttering. growl with baffled rage
Their curses on another world.
Up in the lonely tower he sits,
The keeper Of the crimson light
Silent and awe struck does he heaf
The imprecation Of the night.
The white spray beats against the panes
Like some wet ghost that down the air
Is hunted by troop Of ficnds,
And seeks q shelter anywhere.
