which is often the case
Under the windows are long wooden
benches, and before these the table, set
around with wooden chairs The unfailing
chest, with its various compartments, is
near, and on it a tin pail and copper wash
basin book shelf is suspended over, and
on nail at its side towel and brush -
On a little table in the corner is the felio

door rests The family gun,polished TO bright
ness. The next article is a curious relic of
the olden times, and here we are able to
stale exactly what marked the times as old
When they use this term, they mean the
age OF oatmeal pudding made so thick that
the spoon would stand upright in the centre:
These are the days their grandmothers still
remember, and the great wooden spoon
hangs by string to the wall, as does also
the bread knife, with the initials of The heads
of the household thereon, and the date of
their marriage. II is curious article on
which to preserve the record of so important
an event; but being the one they would
oftenest have 10 use, it is not, on the whole,
so Inappropriate. A slate, an almanac,
loohing-glass, and pair of scales, occupy
their wonted posts, and in accordance with
their humble Offices, the cats dish, the
cricket, the cradle, and standing stool. I'm

Forest clock.
Near the window is the loom. Does il
seem marvellous how one of those beautiful
aud delicate tissues of green, of gold, or
purple can come forth from the midst OF
such medley without spot or blemish g
We can only answer, that we wonder all
the same, though everything is remarkably
neat The loom is like any other, except
that it is more light and delicate in its con-
struction. The reed, through which the
warp is drawn is fine as gossamer, and the
shuttle for the filling might answer for

winds on beam like any other web, o!

break, and fingers which are not at all fairy

lerity, q . we watch the checks and stripes
or figures formed with Eever-ceasing inter-
est and amaZement.
These are the homes, and the happy
homes, OF free and industrious people, who
may be said TO lack nothing that is abso-
lutely necessary 10 comfort and happiness.

is seen in exclusively manufacturing dis
lricls, and none of the luxury attended upon

A NEW SONG.
BY OLIVER wENDELL HOLMES.

We sing "0ur Country's" song tonight
With saddened voice and eye;
Her banner droops in cIouded light
Beneath the wintery sky.
Well pledge her once IN golden vine
Before her stars have SET;
Though dim one reddening orb may shine,
We have country yet.
'Twere vain to sigh DER errors past,
The fault of sires or sons;
Our soldier heard the threatening bias:
And spiked his useless guns;
He saw the star-wreathed ensign fall
By mad invaders torn;
But saw il from the Fashioned wall
That laughed their rage to scorn +!
What though their warlike cry is flung
Across the bowling wave,-
They smite the air with idle tongue
The gathering storm who brave.
Enough Of speech the trumpet rings;
Be silent patient, calm
God help them if The tempest swings
The pine against The palm!
Our strength has slept unfelt;
The furnace fire is slow TO flame
That bids our ploughshares melt;
lis hard 10 lose the bread they win
In spite of Natures frowns,-
To drop the iron threads we spln
That weave our web of Towns;
To see the rushing turbines stand
Before the empIled fumes,
To fold the arms that food the land
With rivers from their looms
But harder still for those who learn
The truth forgot so long;
When once their slumberine passion burn
The peace al are the strong
The Lord have mercy on the weak,
And calm their freuzied ire,
And save our broiher's ere they shrek,
'sWe played with Northern firel''
The eagle hold his mountain height
The tiger pace in his den!
Give all the country, each his right
God keep us all Amen

asking M. Thomas 10 give hIm his daugh-
ter in marriage. As the old fellow, without
beng seen had witnessed all that had trans
pired, and liked the youths appearance. he
al once granted his prayer, on the condition
that the demand should be official, by the
gallanl's father. Here was the difficulty
The father of the lover, M. Gorges, was a
dry goods merchant, having handsome
store in one of the most brilliant quarters of
the city, and he looked for something better
for his son than rag merchants daughter.
However, as there was nothing better Tor il,
the youth broached the subject TO his pa
rents. Al first he was laughed at; but as
he frequently returned TO the charge, his
father ard mother, in the hope Of diveuing
by other means from this mad project, in
vited Thomas 10 a family dinner, in order
TO talk this matter over. II was hoped that
the ridiculous figure the old man would
cut, and his inability 10 give his daughter a
respectable marriage portion, would put an
end 10 the affair.
The invitation was accepted. and the par
ties came. AT the dessert the merchant
endeavored TO jest with old Thomas and
turn him into rIdicule. This didn't seem
to work particularly well, and nothing re-

The Coronet Of Toll

The sweat.drop is the jewel in the coro-
net OF toll When man was driven from the
Paradise-garden, it was declared TO him
that in the swea. of his brow he should eat
his bread. If The history of ages is credible
that edict has never been annuiled. Either
from corruption OF mans primitive tastes,
or the force of wants consequent upon The
change, the earth, though mellow and gen.
erous 10 toll has steadily refused 10 yield
spontaneously the frniis OF Eden. To salts
iy hanger and thirst, 10 defend the body
from heat and cold. and TO shelter it from
storm and danger, man has been compell-
ed TO tax an invention and exert powers,
which his original simplicity might have
avoided. God did not turn him from his
earthly paradise without good provision for
his new wants. Sterile as the unbroken
iurf seemed. IL yielded to the stick and the
iron and when the dry seeds were cast
into it, The rains, and dews, and sunshine,
nourished them into plentiful haryests-
But necessiiy-the overcoming calls Of
human want, which are as angel in6rmilies
have allowed man no cessation from la
Dor.
To live, 10 generate and fulfill being
tsfaded but not lost, f" be has been forced to
toll from duty to day, prov:dentially permit

yon6 supplying immediate wants. In the
perpetual summer of Eden nature supplied
all things; out from that man came as a
savage, without plan or capitol beyond the
capacity of his hands and the fruitfulness of
the earth. Step by step he emerged from
the dependence of ignorance and folly-he
emote the forests-funowed and drained
the earth-reared his dwelIings-whiIe
broad fields, filed with focks and herds,
and popuious cities, crowned with domes
and spires, rose before him, until he is now

Appearances Deceitfnl.

In one or the narrowest and dirtiest streets
in Paris, on the ground floor of crumb-
ling old house, is .he shop of Monsieur
Thomas, rag merchant. In the back part
is a sort OF glass Office, in which an ex-
ceedingy pretty girl not long since trans
acted the business of the establishments
This young girl was Mademoiselle Julie,
old Thomas daughter.
No, great while ago an elegant looking
young gentleman chanced TO pass through
the dirty street, and invoIuntariIy stopped
TO admire her. The next day he came
again, but il was not chance that brought
him there; for, after pausing on the street,
as before, he entered the shop under the
pretence of asking the way, but in reality
to approach nearer the object of his sudden
admiration. A very few words sufficed 10
confirm and fasten first impressions, and
he was about 10 60 away in a very disco1-
solate state of mind, when, in among the
old junk which the shop contained, he OBJ
served a pile of old books. Seizing upon
the excuse TO prolong bis stay, the young
man turned over the laltered refuse, and
purchased several of the books, promising
the fair sales.women that he would from
time to time replenish his library at her es
tablishment. He must have been very
s,udious that day, for early the next morn
ing he returned and obtained another sup
ply. So too, the next, the next, until
troubling himself no longer about the oil
