'Tis sweet to know we have friend,
Unwavering as q sea-girt rock;
Where storms in vain their fury spend,
And naught butwaves roll from .he shock
Unmoyed, unllinching, there it stands,
Though oceans waves around it roar;
Unlike the gay, coquettish sands
That sparkle on the distant shore.
And such friend, methinks, is mine,
AS pure as is the morning dew;
Unchanging with the change of time,
As constant as the rock is true.
The Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1859-1865, 1861-03-07

An Awful JoKE.-A loafer, while
stopping at a tavern up the country, used
to lounge about the bar and drink other
peoples liquor. Not glass could be lef5-
alone for a moment but he would slip up
and drink its contents. One day a Stage
driver came III and called for a stiE horn
of brandy toddy Jehu immediately PLAYED
possum by leaving his brandy while he
stepped to the door. The bait took. On
returning he saw his glass empty, and ex-
claimed, with all the diabolical horror he
could affect:
Brandy and opium enough to kill for
ty men Who drank that pizen ?'
"I"' stammered the loafer, ready to
yield up the ghost with alright
'You re dead man !" said the driver.
"Wkat shall I do ?p beseeched the
other, who thought himself a gone sucker.
''Down with pint of lamp oil, or you're
dead man in three minutes - answered
the wicked driver. And down went the
lamp oil, aud up came the brandy and
opium, together with his breakfast. The
joke was told, and the loafer has never
drank other peoples liquor since.

Newspaper Articles.

A schoolmaster who had been engaged
a long time in his profession, and witness
ed the influence of newspaper on fam
ily of children, writes as follows:
have found it to be a universal fact,
without exception, that these scholars of
both sexes, and Of all ages, who have had
access to newspapers at home, are
l. Better readers, excelling in pronun-
citation, and consequently read more un-
derstandingiy.
?. They are better spoilers, and define
words with case and accuracy.
3. They obtain practical knowledge
Of geography in almost half the time it
requires others, as the newspapers have
made them familiar with the location of
the most important places, nations, their
government and doings on the globe.
/. They are better grammarians, FOR,
having become familiar with every variety
Of writing in the newspaper, from the COM
mon place advertisement, to the finished
and classical Grafton Of the Statesman,
they more readily comprehend the mean
ing Of the text and consequently analyze
its construction with accuracy.
This is a good and competent witness.
The scholar teacher. Who more compe-
tent than he to determine the real value
Of the newspaper as an aid to education
and the development of the struggling
mind We prize his testimony as every
ore else should, and would add in this
connection that the primary and absolute
advantage of the newspaper in families
consists in the familiar subjects ii presents
to the minds Of It's youthful members
subjects of common life and every day in
ciGents, in which the rising generation
feel sufficient interest, if not to enable
them to comprehend their purport and
meaning, certainly to enquire and desire
explanation from theirseniors. The habit
of reading understaudingly once acquired,
leads onward by rapid progressive steps,
until Che whole field OF newspaper iEtelli-
gence becomes susceptible of interest and
cultivation. The amount of information
which can be accumulated by an early
course of newspaper reading, extending
through the years of minority, cannot be
easily estimated

Prince Henry exchanged characters, with
out thinking of similar one, said to have
occurred in an ancient parsonage great
while ago.
The Rev Mr. Regulus was an excellent
man, rather eccentric and somewhat eco-
nomical. Jonas, a farmers boy, used
sometimes TO so with presents to the par
sonage. He was a. sharp-eyed little fell
low, but rather uncouth in his manners.
One day he brought in leg Of mutton,
laid it down without ceremony, and was
making Off
'.Ill teach that boy lesson in good
manners" said Dir. Begulus to his wife.
''Ie needs to have the clown rubbed off
him little"
"Jonas, come back here moment
Don't you know, my fine fellow, that you
shouldn't come into a house in this way,
without knocking, and with your hat on.
Sit down III nay armchair Imagine
yourself the minister, and I'll come in
with the mutton and show you how boy
ought to behave"
Jonas sits up gravely in the armchair,
and Mr Regulus goes out with the leg OF
mutton
Enter NJ: Regulus, IN the character Of
Jonas. He takes off his hat with low
bow.
"My father sends his compliments to
Mr. Regulus, and asks his pastor TO accept
token OF his regard
Jonas, from the armchair:
81 thank you. Mrs. Regulus, just give
boy ninepence."
The lesson was mutual.
