had told him Christmas morning,
As he sat upon my knee,
Holding fast his little stocking,
Stuffed as full as it could be-
And attentive listening to me,
With q face demure and mild,
That old Santa Claus, who filed them,
Did not love naughty child.
"But we'll be good, won't we mamma"
And from off my lap he slid
Digging deep among the goodies
In his crimson stocking hid;
While turned me to the table,
Where tempting goblet stood,
Brimming high with dainty egg-npg,
Sent me by a neighbor good.
But the kitten there before me,
With her white paw, nothing 10th,
Sat, by way of entertainment
Lapping off the shining froth;
And in not the gentlest humor
At the loss of such treat,
confess rather rudely
Thrnst him out into the street.
Then how Benny's blue eyes kindled!
Gathering up his precious store
He had busily been pouring
In his tiny pinafore
With generous look that ihamed me,
Sprang he from the carpet bright,
Showing by his mien indignant,
All babys sense of right.
iCome back, IIarney !" called he loudly,
As he held his apron white
You shall have my candy rabbit,
But the door was fast and tight,
So he stood abashed and silent,
In the centre of the floor,
With defeated look alternate
Bent on me and on the door.
Then, as by some sudden impulse,
Quickly ran he to the fire,
And eagiIiy, the while his bright eyes
Watched the flames go high and higher;
In brave, clear key he shouted,
Like some lordly little elf
"Santa Claus, come down the chimney,
Make mamma behave herself!''
II will be good girl, Benny"
Said |, feeling the reproof;
And straight recalled poor Harncy,
Mewng on the gallery roof.
Soon the anger was forgotten,
Laughter chased away the frown,
And they gambolled meath the live oaks
Till the dusky n ight came down.
In my dim, fre-lghtcd chamber,
Harney purred beneath my chair,
And my play-worn boy beside me
Knelt to say his evening prayer.
Good bless papa-God bless mamma,
God bless sister''-then a pause;
And the sweet young lips devouty
Murmured-"GqA bless Santa Claus

Lie the lashcs, long and sleek,
Like caressing, clinging shadows
On his plump and peachy cheek.
And bend abuve them weeping
Thankful tears-Oh, undefled

For the blessing of ii chila.

The Rirth.PIaces of Capt. Nathan Hale and
Rev. Lorenzo Dow.


The birth place of Capt. Nathan Hale,
the martyr to American Liberty was on
an elevated spot near Wdngoo'bog Lake, in
Coventry, Conn. twenty miles from Hart
ford The large house of two stories is
still standing, amid number of fine su-
gar maple trees, and in good preservation.
Capt. Hale graduated at Yale College in
1773. The ardent glow of patriotism in
duced him in an earl y period of the Revo
luton to enter the army, as captain in
the light infantry regiment, commanded
by Col. Knowlton, of Ashford. After the
defeat of the Americans on the 9th of
August, 1776, and their retreat from Long
Island, Gen. Washington BECAME extreme
ly desirous to gain some knowledge re-
spec,ing the enemys future operations.
Notwithstanding the extreme difficulty and
peril of the undertaking Capt Hale VOL
unteered his services to the commander in
chief. Having disguised himself and
erqssed over to Long Island, he proceeded
| to the British encampment, obtained the
necessary information, but at the moment
of his leaving the island, he was recog-
nized by relative, who was refugee,
and betrayed He was taken before Sir
William Howe, who, without the formali-
ty of a trial, ordered him to be hung the
meet morning. This peremptory order
was carried into effect in cruel, barbar-
Gus, and rcvengeful manner. He met his
fate with composure and frmness. His
last words were, "tbat be lamepted that
he had but one life to lose for his country"
About twenty years ago the influential
citizens of Coventry, with aid from the
Connecticut Legislature, erected an impo-
sing Quincy granite monument on Q lofty
eminence in South Coventry, to the men,
ory Of this renowned patriot who at the
early age of twenty-one was SO soon called
to give an account to bis maker. 1t is a
noticeable feature of the town, forty feet
in altitude, and fifteen feet square at the
base, with the following Inscriptions

The well known Rev. Joseph Hunting

he marked out as 2 future gospel teacher

Ghe 0Norld's Progress,
Religion, aud Material Progress $.

The Hcumenical Council which was
opened on the Sth inst, at Rome with i'm
pressive solemnities is the first which has
been held since the Council of Trent,
which body met December 13, 1545, three
hundred and twentyfour years ago-a
long vacation, indeed, fruitful of cxtraor-
dinary events, and during which the world
has made greater material, political and
scientific progress, than it had for a thous-
and years before. The Christian Church,
WHICH had seen the setting sun of ancient
civilization, was beginning to catch the
first glimpses of the morning star of new
era, but was still surrounded by society
in its childhood, and the clergy was con-
tnuing to exercise over mankind that as
tendency which belonged to the only class
which had any knowledge of philosophy or
public law. But the period when not
one man in five hundred knew the alphabet,
and even princes could not read their own
DEGREES, was already in the pangs of labor
with tie birth of a new creation in every
branch of natural philosophy, in sciences,
arts and discoveries. The invention Of
printing, which had then been made, was,
even in its first rude beginning, torch
leading the way to the unprecedented ac-
tivity which the human mind has since
exhibited in the innumerable inventions
tending to promote the commerce of life,
in all the arts and sciences, and ip law,
police and government.
If We would form ap estimate of the
mechanical advance which has been ac-
complished since the Council Of Trent as
parqtiyely regent are most of the diseqy,

Strawberries AT the time Mr.. Hovey
brought opt his wonderful Seeding Straw
berry, We had but very few good native
varieties most of them were too small to
attract attention. We had European
varieties by the dozens, but they were the
same as they are at the present time
comparatively worthless when brought
side by side with our best native sorts.
The growing of Hovcy's Seeding gave
the public such surprise that it set every
body to raising Seedlings, and now that
once famous berry is far in the background.
New and superior seedlings have come
forward in such abundance, that the man
who would attempt to decide which was
the best strawberry in cultivation, would
be thought a fit subject for the Lunatic
Asylum.
