TROUTING ALL ALONE.

/ went trouting I went trouting,
And the morning Sun asiant
Threw its amber glances siyiy
Where the birds their mathis chant
And the hooks held witching shadows
On their dewy dusk of stone,
And because my heart asked nothing,
/ went trouting all alone.
%. angled where the water
Swept the pebbles clear and slow,
and the sky smiled down upon me,
And the brook laughed mp below;
But trout was never startled
Where the silver eddies shone,
And my heart kept asking softly
Why l trouted all alone.
Then there came a brown-haired phantom
And how true to life it seemed
Looking up with dimpled smiling
Where but now the ripples cleaned:
SO l smiled to see it smiling.
But the phantom face had flown,
And u maiden stood beside me
Who'd gone trouting all alone.
Then the morning hurried swiftly,
And the moon stood in the sky.
But trout had neither captured,
Though couldn't tell you why;
And there came promise softly,
Ere the evenings crimson sh one,
That whenever WE went trouting,
We'd go trouting all alone.

THE UNION Gun CoMPLErE.-The monster
sUnion" gun, recently cast at the Fort Pitt
Works, has been completed, and is now being
removed to the Pennsylvania Railroad depot,
whence it will be shipped to Washington, and
thence to Old Point Comfort, with as little de-
lay as possible. 1t is intended for Fortress
Monroe, and will be put in position immedi-
ately on its arrival at that point. The "Union"
is heavier than the ssFloyd," and will throw
ball between six and seven miles. 1t is perhaps
the heaviest piece of iron artillery ever manu-
fuctured, and the result of the experiments
which it is proposed to make with it will be
looked for with interest.

A MATTER OF INTEREsr.-Cast your eye up
on that noble brick house. How firm il stands,
and how durable it seemSi Displace one brick
from its walls and the effect is hardly noticea-
BILE. But repeat the practice every day, and,
although it may take weeks to accomplish,
sooner later, you will have the structure
crashing down to the ground. So it is with a
business, from which, each month, you detach
certain sum to pay interest on borrowed
money. The loss is barely felt at first; but,
as time rolls on, and the drainage is still in
dulged in, you find yourself tottering TO cer-
tain fall.

FERACITY.-The groundwork of all manly
character is veracity. That virtue lies at the
foundation of everything solid. How COM
mon is it to hear parents say, 81 have faith in
my child so long as he speaks the truth. He
may have many faults, but know he will not
deceive me. l build on that confidence"
They are right. 1t is lawful and just ground
to build upon. And that is beautiful conf
dence. Whatever errors temptation may be-
tray child into, so long brave, open truth
remains, there is something to depend on,
there is anchor ground, there is substance at
the centre. Men of the world feel SO about
one another. They can be tolerant and for
bearing so long as their erring brother is true.
1t is the fundamental virtue. Ordinary COM
merce can hardly proceed step without a
good measure of it. If we cannot believe
what others say to us, we cannot act upon it,
and to an immense extent that is saying that
we cannot act at all. Truth is a common
interest. When we defend it, we defend the
basis OF all social order. When we vindicate
it, We vindicate our own foothold. When we
plead for it, it is like pleading for the air of
health we breathe. When you undertake to
benefit lying man, it is like putting your
foot into the mire.

NEWPORT News PoINr.-The origination OF

NEWPORT NEWS PoINT.-The origination OF
the name OF this Point, lately made notorious
by the advance of Gen. Buffers force, is thus
explained s'The early colony on James
River was at one time reduced to a straitened
condition, and some of its members started
down the James River, with the intention of
proceeding to England. They reached the
bend in the river, which is at present an OBJ
ject Of interest, and paused for some days.
When they were about to sail, they saw a ship
coming mp the Roads, bearing the British en-
sign. They delayed till it should arrive. 1t
proved to be Lord Newport's ship with his
Lordship on board, who brought the intelli-
gence that the ship which ne colony had long
before dispatched to England for supplies,
and which was many months overdue, was
near at hand, bringing much needed re-
lief. Meantime, his Lordship distributed
provisions among the colonists, who, from
these circumstances, named the place 'sNews-
ports News" on account of the good tidings
which his Lordship brought to them.'

A MILITARY P1a.-During the last war with

A MILITARY PIG.-During the last war with
Great Britain very remarkable circumstance
occurred in connection with the invasion of
Canada. A company of Kentucky volunteers
destined for Shelby's army had their rendez-
yous at Harrodsburg, in Kentucky, and form
ed sort of nucleus or ralying point for the
military recruits of that part of the country
When they marched from Harrodsburg towards
the Ohio river, having got mile or two on
their way, they noticed two pigs fighting, and
dalayed their march too see it out. After
they had resumed their march, the pig which
had been the victor in the contest, was observ-
ed to follow them. At night, when they en-
camped, the pig found shelter near, and
halted also. The next day the pig accompan-
led the troops as before; and thus it marched
every day and halted every night with the SOL
diers, or near them. When they came oppo-
site Cincinnati at which place the troops were
to cross the Ohio in ferryboat, the pig on
getting to the waters edge, promptly piung-
ed In and swan across, and then waited on the
other side until the whole cortege crossed o.
yer, and then renewed its post on one side of
the moving column. Thus the animal kept
up with the troops until they crossed the
State of Ohio aud reached Lake Erie. On the
journey, as the men grew familiar with their
comrade, it became pet, receiving share of
the rations issued to the soldiers, and destitute
of provisions as the troops found themselves
al tiihCS, uO OlS vi putting tlo huiiC
to the throat of their fellow soldier. What
they had was shared, and if the pig Jared scan
tily as the rest at times, it still grunts on, and
manifests much patriotism in its own line
as the bpeds it accompanied did In theirs.
At the margin of the Lake she embarked with
the troops and went as far Ball Island. But
when offered passage over into Canada she
obstinately refused to embark second time.
Some of the men attributed her conduct to
constitutional scrupies, and observed that she
knew it was contrary to the Constitution to
force military pig over the line. She there
fore had leave to remain. After the campaign
had closed, the troops re-crossed the Lake,
having left some of their horses on the A
mercan side. AS soon as the line formed,
to the great surprise of the troops, there was
the pig on the right of the line, ready to re-
sumo her march with the rest. By this time
the winter frost had set in, and the animal
suffered greatly the homeward march.
She made out however to reach Maysville,
where the troops re-crossed the Ohio river.
There she gave out and was placed in trusty
hands by Gov. Shelby, and finally taken to
the Governors house, where she passed the
rest of her days in ease and Incidence. There
are many in Kentucky who can now attest the
truth OF this remarkable story.

LARoR.-There is vast amount of foolish
discussion and false sentiment 10 regard to the
respectabllity of labor professions. Every in
dustrial pursuit that is honest and promotive
of human well-being, is respectable, honorable
and dignifed. The chimuey-sweeper is only
a vulgar laboraS and his calling mean one,
when he sinks below ard demeans his toll.
Let him pursue his work steadily and earnest
ly, and he is entitled to as much respect as
the telescope maker. The profession OF labor
has no essential merit in itself, beyond being
more or less productive; the merit belongs
entirely to the manner of its pursuit. Some
pride themselves on living above and indepen-
dent of labor, scorning all its pursuits as low
they do not earn, and it is sufficient punish
ment for them that they can see nothing in
their desire or destiny but an utter antipode
to the generally revealed character Of God and
man. Others pride themselves upon the ex-
cluSveness or aristocracy of profession, as
though honor and dignity came to labor from
isolation instead of usefulness. These would
call labor honorable, in proportion as they
could handle it without soiling their gloves.
1t is hard to say which of the two is most vul-
gar, he who decries and scorns all labor that is
soiled or soiling-all common, every day toll
or he who values labor only as it is begrimed
with dirt, and turns up his nose at the man
who works with hands and face cleaner than
his own. Both immensely vulgar, and
both will have to learn much before they tru-
ly understand the nature and dignity of honest
labor.

RENovATIoN.-The editor Of the New Eng

seryiceable. He Immediately removed the
soil from around the trunk of sickly tree in
his garden, supplied its place with charcoal,
and was surprised at its sudden renovation
and subsequent rapidity of growth and the
tenacity with which the fruit held on to the
branches, and the unusual richness of its fla
yor when mafured.
