Too proud to acknowledge defeat.

How often the friends we hold dearest
Their noblest emotions conceal,

Lave secrets they cannotreveal.
Leave base minds to harbor suspicion,
And small ones to trac our defects

TIE Two Workers.

Two workers In one field
Toiled on from day to day,
Both had the same hard labor.
Both had the same same small pay.
% With the same blue sky above,
With the same green grass below,
One soul was full Of love,
The other full of voc.
One lsap'd up with the light,
With the soaring of the lark;
One felt it ever night,
For his soul was ever dark.
One heart was hard as stone,
One heart was ever gay,
Cne worked with many u grOnn,
One wbiStled all tho day.
One had q flower-cl; d cot ..,.
Beside merry mill,
Wife and children near the spot
Made it sweeter, filirer still :; rir,g.
One a wretched hovel had
Full of discord, dirt and din,
No wonder he seemed mad,
Wife and children starved within.
Still they worked in the same field,
Toiled on from day to day,
Both had the same hard labor,
Both had the same small pay;
But they worked not with one will,
The reason let me tell
LO! the one drank at the still.
'7i And the other atthe we'll.

A REMARKABLE TRER.--It would seem
rs if nature, having finished the rest of
the world in an orderly and sedate
frame of mind, gave way to her frolic-
some tendencies in Australia. Can any
thing be more essentially ludicrous than
q kangaroo, or tree which sheds it's
bark instead of its leaves? Australia is
the farce of creation. Bat amid all its
oddities we now and then find specimens
of the useful and magnificent. Among
them is the Eucalyptus, remarkable
tree, which attains the height of five
hundred feet, thus reaching dimensions
which enable it literally to throw into
the shade the far-famed gigantic trees of
California. But as if to vindicate it's
native Australian right to the peculiar,
it combines what has never before been
known to unite in a tree, great rapidity
of growth and great oompactness of
fiber, which give it a great economical
value for mechanical purposes, and make
it invaluable as means of restoring the
forest growth in those regions which
have been dsnuded it. 1t has another
psculiarity, which makes it still more
available for the latter purpose, which is
its adaptation to the arid and waterless
portions of the globe in warm climates.
- A tree planted in Algiers fifteen years
ago has attained tho volume and the
qualities of an oak hundred years old,
and from tree planted three years ago
has sprung tree now four feet in cir
cumference at the base. 1t is now being
introduced In. Italy, upon the bare sum
mits and mountain. ridges, aad as its
leaves sxhaie delightful fragrance and
exercise aPoworful and miasnatic infiu-
ence, perhaps it may counteract and drive
back the deadly blight which has for
centuries been creeping up from the
Pontine marshes upon the Eternal City,
and has made desert of busy Roman
lite and the site of gorgeous Palatial
villas: 'e'if.
We must not omit to add that tie
bark of this remarkable tree is very haro
and yery rich in tanning. We hope some
enterprising horticulturist will introduce
the tree into this country. What q mag
nificent tree it would DO for oar streets
aud public squares, towering hundreds
of feet above our houses, and shedding
upoh the whole air the GOODNESS OF it's
shade and the sweetness Of its perfume.

Select Poetry.
ToilI0n.
ny N. A. BUTrERYlELD, ", D.

When yalply, In life's early morn,
Ye strive high up to write thy name.
In flaming let,ers--of renown
Upon the pinnacle Of fame; ~ l.s
Be not disheartende u ye fall, l
Whats'sr, perchance, may bc.thy fate,
But manfully Withstand the gale,
With patience thy reward await.
Not by one single, mighty stride,
The lofty mountain top is gained,
But step by step we scale It's side .
And soon the highest peak ascend.
The warrior braves the cannon's roar,
Oitstrides amid the murderous flame
Where thousands fall to rise no more,
Ere honor crowns his lustrOus name.
This poet labors long unknown,
Tolls in dark oblivion deep,
Till justice, from her golden.throne,
go With lasting fame his efForts.erown.
The mighty rulers of the land
Reach not their station In day,
But labor long with heart and hand
Ere they thssruling sccpter sway.
Think not to sit thee idly down
And look for Heaven with bounteou
hand
With lasting fame, thy head TO crown,
But labor with willing hand,
And wait with patience thy reward,
For Fortune is a lazy god"
Who ne'er subject seeks to find,
But bids us toll to gain his.smies.

THE ISsLuENcE. or SLEEr.-After

appetite for, and finally come to like that
morning that does not begin at all.

malignities might burn us up. But the

OF feeling, the hypochondriac suspicious,
