GRAND SCENE AMONG THE HooP-TILTERs.-
The following was communicated to New
York paper, and of course it's true 80 Six
handsome and stylish young ladies' on their
way, apparently, from the Post Office, were
noticed standing this beautiful afternoon, on the
corner of Broadway and Liberty street, waiting
for Madison avenue stage. So presently one
came along, and, as the street was crowded with
vehicles. it was very important that they should
get into the vehicle as fast as possible. As the
first young lady, about eighteen summers, enter
ed the narrow stage-door, out sprang her i'm
mense % litter and the second young lady :,
with a most charming little "Stella ~ on her be-
wtching frizzled hair mot head, in her great
haste to follow, ran up under the hoops, and
was dragged forward, while the third young
lady got developed in like manner, and so on
until all had rushed in, pell-mell, under each
Others hoops in less time than it takes to tell it.
The horses having started suddenly precipitated
them all, like so many bricks-one knocking the
other over. 1t was, indeed, a ludicrous sight.
But, as the ladies were all alone, they did not
seem to be embarrassed at their situation and
were extricating themselves, until their loud
shouting excited the suspicious of two watchfu
policemen, who mounted the steps, thinking
they had big haul of pickpockets. At the signt
of the policemen, the young lady OF the :. oteiiA
hat, extricated herself, screaming: 1.-TWO nlen

Father dear father. come home with me now
The clock in the steeple strikes one;
You said you were coming right home from the shop
As soon your days work was done.
Our fire has gone out-our house is all dark
And mothers been watching since tea
with poor brother Benny. so sick in her arms,
And no one to help her but me.
Come home! come home! come home
Please father, dear father, come home
Father dear father. come home with me now
The clock in the steeple strikes two;
The night has grown colder. and Benny is worse,
But he has been calling for you.
Indeed he is worse-ma says he will die,
Perhaps before morning shall dawn;
And this is the message she sent me to bring
Come quickly. or he will be gone!
Come home come home. come home!
Please, father dear father, come home
Father. dear father. come home with me now!
The clock in the steeple strikes three
The house is so lonely-the hours 30 long
For poor weeping mother and me
Yes we are alone-poor Benny is dead
And gone with the angels of light
And these are the very last words that he said;
81 want to kiss papa tonight
Come home come home! come home.
Please, father, dear father, come home!
Hear the sweet voice OF the child,
Which the nght-winds repeat az they roam
O. who could resist this most plaintive OF prayers!
Please father, dear father. come home!

NEWSPAPER lNFLUENCE.-A correspondent of
the German Reformed Messenger mentions the
impression produced upon traveller from Eu-
rope while in western city, by witnessing the
eagerness of Americans for newspapers. He
says:-'' He hastily approached me with eyes
cleaning with admiration and delight" @ What
a wonderful race the American people are, was
his earnest outburst. Every man with his
newspaper See the drayman there, sitting on
the dray, eagerly reading his newspaper and
that hackman, mounted on his perch with bis
whip on his knee, diving into his newspaper,
and yonder, that laborer, stopping on the corner
to buy his newspaper ; and see that payer, re-
pairing the levee, with a newspaper just sticking
ont of his pocket, where he has just placed it
for further reading as he has leisure. So have
seen it in every American town and city There
is nothing like it in Europe. No other people,
through all its ranks, can be so thoroughly yersed
in the current information of the country ana
the world. Wonderful people these American
people," was his pointed summing up, as II to
hint ut the profound prophesy embodied in TINS
popular phase and fact. This expression brings
to view the vast educational value and effect OF
the newspaper, secular or religious, in American
society, touching our social, civil, or Individual
interests moulding and fashioning national, So
cial or political character.

Yesterday afternoon young lady with fitting
hoops and false calves was perambulating thro'

SHAKESPEARE ON TREAsoN.-The fidelity with
xhich the poet of all time painted treason will
be fully appreciated by those who consider the
applicability of the following extracts TO our re-
rebels
UyRELIAB TRAITORS.
"Treason is but trusted like the fox.
Who ne'er tame cherished and lock'd up,
will have a wild trick of his ancestors"
THE PARDON SEEKERS.
Thus do all traitors;
If their purgation did consist in words,
They are innocent as grace itself"
TREASON MURDER.
..Treason and murder kept together,
As two yoke-devis sworn TO others purpose;
Working so grossly in a natural cause
That admiration did not whoop at them.
But thou 'gainst all proportion didst bring in
Wonder to wait treason. and on murder;
And whatsoever cunning fend it was
That wrought upon thee so preposterously,
Hath got the voice in hell for excellence"

AN ELoqUEsT FRAGMESr.-One will look long
to fine better description of extreme old age
than the following, written in the year 1880, BY
Nathaniel Lee:
.Of no distempcr. of blast he died,
But fell like autumn fruit that meilowed long
Even wondered at because he dropped no sooner;
Fate seemed wind him up for fuurscore years,
Yet freshly he ten winters more
Till like a clock, out with beating time,
The wheels Of weary life at last stood still"

home and perfectly worthless everywhere.
How well we have accomplished this NAV

many years of public trial, we now make
MORE THAN HALF OF ALL THE

STATES. and that no others have ever given
such universal satisfaction. While this de-
