Much as we prize the bsnevolence and pa
triotism OF fhe offers already made by indi-
vidusls anxious to pay off the national debt
at once. we cannot admit that present ap.
pearances indicate much greater success in
this way than crowned Mrs. Partington's eff
forts to mop out the Atlantic with her broom
when the ocean invaded that good old lady's
domicile. II the debt is to be paid off in the
next ten years, or within one or two genera.

resort to graduated method of taxation.

"rHE BABY LOOKING our FOR ME-

Two little busy hands patting on the window,
Two laughing eyes looking out at me,
Two rosy cheeks dented with a dimple,
Mother-oird is coming, baby; do you see
Down by the lilac bush, something white and
Saw l in the window, as passed the tree;
Well knew the apron and the shoulde r knots
of ribbon,
All belonged to baby, looking out for me.
Talking low and tenderly
To myself, as mothers will,
Spake softly-ssGod in Heaven,
Keep my darling free fromill.
Worldly gear and worldly honors
Ask not for her from Thee;
But from want, and sin, and sorrow,
Keep her ever pure and free.''
Two little waxen hands,
Folded soft and silently;
Two little curtained eyes,
Looking out no more for me.
Two little snowy cheeks,
Dmpie denied never more;
Two little trodden shoes,
That will never touch the floor;
Shoulder-ribbon softly twisted,
Apron folded, clean and white;
These are left us-and these only
Ofthe childish presence bright.
Thus He sent answer to my earnest prayer,
Thus he keeps my darling tree from earthl,
stain,
Thus he folds the pet lamb free from earthly
straying,
But misr her sadly by the window pane,
Till look above it then, with purer vision,
Sad, weep no longer the lilac bush to pass
For l see her-angel, pure, and white, and SIN
less,
Walking BY the harpers. by the sea of glass
Two little snowy wings,
Softly futter to and fro;
Two tiny childish hands
Beckon still to me below;
Two tender angel eyes
Watch me ever earnestly;
Through the loop-holes of the stars
Baby's looking out for me.

ANECDOTES OF AVARICE.

My Lord Aardwich, the late Lord
Chancellor, who is said to be uorth
$4,000, 900, sets the same value Oh half
crown now, as he did when he was
worth on,y $500. That great captain,
the Duke Of Marlborough, whsn he was
in the last stage Of life, and very iufrm,
wOuld walk from the public room in Bath
to his lodgings, on a cold dark night, to
save a silpsn-s Il chair hire. # the
Duke, who left at his death more than a
millien aud hall sterling, could have
foreseen that all his wealth and honours
ware to be inherited by grandson Of
Lord Trevor's, who had been che of his
enemies, would he have always saved a
si1pence?
Sir Iar.1es Lovther, after changing =
piece Of silver in St. Georges coffee
house, and paying for his dish of coffee,
was helped into his chariot, (for he was
lame and in6rm, and vert hct.e; some
time after, he returned to the same coffee
house on purpose to acquaiut the woman
who kept it, that she had given him a
bad half penny, and demanded another in
exchange for it. Sir james had about
S24O, 600 per annum, and was at loss
whom to appoint his heir. I knew one
Sir Thomas Colby, who lived in Kensirg-
ton, and was, I think, in tie Victua,t:ng
0ffica he killed himself by rising in the
middle of the night, when he was il a
profuse sweat, the effect Of medicine
which he had taken FOR that purpose,
and walking down stairs to look for the
key Of his cellar, which he had inadvar.
tantly left en- q table in his parlcr; he
was apprchensive that his servants might
seize the key and rob him of bottle Of
port wine. This man died intestate, and
left more than Sc, 900, 900 in the funds,
which were shared among five or six day
laborers, who were his nearest relations.

PRAYING FOR HUSBANDS.

The late NJ. John Lloyd Stephens, 81
page 81 Of his incidents of Travels in
Central America" whilst describing /,
religious ceremony which he witnessed a.
Gualan, in q chapel extemporized for the
occasion, has the following passage :-"Iu
some places people would rebel the impu
tation Of being desirous to procure hus
band or wife. Not so in Gualan. They
Prayed publicly for what they considered
a blessing. Some of Che men were SO
much in earnest, that perspiration stood
in large drops upon their faces, and none
thought that praying for husband need
tinge the cheek of modest maiden.

NEW MINERAL

A new mineral of lead has been di,z-
covered in Chill, containing 10 per cent.
of iodine Iodine has lately become very
valuable, on occount of its extensive use
in photographery, and of the discovery
by DR.. Hoffman of a new dye, having this
s!sment among its constituents. tits SAD
that one cargo of the new mineral VI!

tration of the progress that mining ad-
venture is making in South Americs, a
rhine Of hismuth ore has recently been
opened in Bolivia, about two-thirds up
the Andes-the Iljampu Mountain. Biz
muth also has lately increased in value;
and $4,000 feet above the level Of tie
