Song of the Ducks.

One little black duck, one little gray,
Six little white ducks running out to play,
One white lady duck, motherly and trim.
Eight little baby ducks bound for swim!
One little white duck holding up its wings.
One little bobbing duck making water rings.
One little black duck turning round its head,
One big black duck--guess he's gone to bed.
One little white duck running from the water,
One very fat duck-pretty little daughter.
One very grave duck swimming off alone,
One little white duck standing on a stone.
One little white duck walking with its mother,
Look among the water reeds, maybe there's an
other,
Not another anywhere? Surely you are blind,
Push away the grass, dear; ducks are hard to
find.
Bright little brown eyes DER the picture lnger!
Point me all the ducks out, chubby little finger!
Make the picture musical, merry little shout!
Now where's that other duck What is he about
l think the other ducks the incest duck of all;
He hasn't any feathers. and his mouth is sweet
and small,
He runs with light step, and jumps upon my
knee,
And though he cannot swim, he is very dear to
me.
One little lady duck, mOtherly and triH;
Eight little baby ducks bound for swim;
One lazy black duck taking quite nap;
One little precious duck, here on mammals lap .

you do not need any further argumen

A Dose FOR MosoUIToEs.-As the
season for these pests is approaching
we will give a recent South Carolina
prescription which we have seen. We
cannot vouch for it-but it will cost
little to try it. Take off gum camphor
a piece about one-third the size Of an
egg, and evaporate it by placing it in
a tin vessel, and holding it over a
lamp or candle, taking care that 1t
does not ignite. The smoke will soon
fill the room, and expel the mosqui-
toes. One night was terribly an
noyed by them, when thought Of and
tried the above, after which | never
saw nor heard them that night, and
the next morning there was not one
to be found in the room, though the
window had been left open all night.

Little Sandie.

In Edinburgh two gentlemen were
standing at the door of a hotel, one
very cold day, when little boy, with
a poor, thin, blue face, his feet bare
and red with the cold, ard with moth
ing to cover him but a bundle ofrags,
came up and said,-
"Please, sir, buy some matches Z"
"No, l don't want any" the gentle
man said.
"But they are only penny a box"
the little fellow pleaded.
"Yes, but you see we do not want
a box" the gentleman said again.
"Then | will gle ye twa boxes for
a penny" the boy said at last.
"And so, to get rid of him." the
gentleman who tells the story in an
English paper, says, "I bought box.
But then l found l had no change, SO
l said, 4 will buy box tomorrow
$40! do buy them the nicht, if ye
please the boy pleaded again. Twill
rim and get yc the change, for l am
vera hungry
$50 gave him the shilling and he
started away; and ! waited for him,
but no boy came. Then l thought |
had lost my shilling; but still there
was that in the boys face l trusted,
and did not like to think i'll of him.
Well, late in the evening servant
came and said little boy wanted to
see me. When he was brought in, l
saw it was a smaller brother of the
boy that got my shilling; but. if posi-
BILE, still more ragged, and poor, and
thin. He stood a moment diving in-
to his rags, as if he were seeking
something, and then sald,-
"Arc ye the gentleman that bought
the matches frae Sandie 2"
AYES
"'Well, then, here's fourpencc out
of your shillin'. Sandic Gamma come !;
he's no weel. A cart ran over him
and knocked him doom, and he lost
his bonnet and his matches, and your
sevenpence; and both his legs were
brocken; and he's no weel at a. and
the doctor says he'll dee. And that's
all he can gle ye noo,' putting the
fourpence down on the table, and
then the moor child broke down into
great sobs.
$50 l fed the little man" the gen.
tleman goes on to say, "and then |
went with him to see Sandie. | found
that the poor little things lived with
a wretched, drunken step-mother ;
their own father and mother were
both dead. l found poor Sandie ly-
ing on a bundle of shayings. He
knew me as soon as | came in, and
said,-
4 got the change, sir, and. was
coming back, and then the horse
knocked me doom, and both my legs
are brocken. And o Reuby, little
Reuby am sure l am deein and
Who'll! take care O ye Reuby, when |
am game? What will ye do Reuby p
"I took the little sufferers hand
and told him | would always take
care of Reuby. He understood me,
and had just strength enough to look
at me, as if he would thank me; then
the light went out Of his blue eyes,
and in a moment

Where the wicked cease from troubling
And the weary are at rest

A curious stone, believed to DC
Druidical, has just been discovered In
a field near Dingle, England. 1t Is
eight feet long, four feet broad and
about two feet in thickness. In the
middle of it is a hole, fourteen inches
square, and as many inches deep, which
is neatly cut with a chisel, and the
lower end of it coming to a point, or
tapering from top to bottom. Such
stones are a believed to have been used
in ancient times to consecrate marrl-
apes and other contracts by the join
ing of hands through the hole in the
stone.

The " City of Boston"
BY ROBERT ROLAND,

There sailed out noble ship one day.
From port by a bourdless sea;
And she carried the hopes of many a soul,
As with music and banner she gave the whole
Of her parting from port of glee!
Ne'er sailed ship with more pride and state,
Meier sailed ship. with more precious freight
There were souls of worth-there were parting
hands,
There were brows of beauty and sundered bands !
There were sturdy men, who no danger fear;
There were lisping tones, that we love to hear;
There were lovers and husbands, and careless
mirth.
As the ship sailed gaily away from the earth!
There were pride and power, and strength untold,
The pride of wealth and the power of gold;
There signals afar, and the cannon's boom,
As she went down the narrows to meet her doom
Far out on the trackless sea!
Far out on the boundless sea!
And at sunset hour, on that happy day,
The landline of home far behind her lay
So sailed that noble ship away
There sailed from that port, t,co ships that day,
Far out on the treacherous sea:
1ncy DOtu Wclou duCuOT Wucu tne uOOnlluc lay
All calmly north'ard across the bay
Only one was seen as they sailed away,
And one was under the lee.
And the ship unseen carried never a soul,
And its helm was held at Deaths control;
And it had no banner or cleaning sail,
As it onward sped with no signal hail
Within it no lovers, or husbands, or wives.
Within it no hOpes-and no precious lives
But within it, alone. is a shadowy form
Who maketh a jest of the gathering storm
Deaths pilot bark under the lee!
For the grand old ship, in its pride and state.
Rushes on unchecked to its terrible fate.
Far out on the limitless sea,
With pilot boat under the lee
This shadowy pilot assumed the sway,
When the ship left port on that happy day
Unseen-yet seeing-to guide the way,
Never more,
To the shore
That has passed away,
Or haven on Englands lee.
Through the heaving bilow and passing zone,
He is guiding that ship to the great unknown!
Friends look in vain-months pass away;
No tidings-no word-srnce that fatal day;
No message from the sea
And never again shall the noonline lay
For that noble ship on the quiet bay
AS when from that port she sailed away.

The TOMATO.-Dr. Dio Lewis con-
demns the free use of tomatoes, as
causing bleeding of the gums, loosen
ing Of the teeth, and irritation of the
membrane lining the intestinal canal.
The Newburyport Herald thinks the
Doctor is right, and the editor says
his observation tends to confirm that
opinion. He says:
1t is certain that we'll person does
not need medicine, for the very fact
that it is adapted to a diseased state
of the system proves that it cannot be
also adapted to the opposite, or
healthy conditions, as in the latter
case it very frequently creates the
very symptoms that it cures in the for
mcr Homeopathy, fact which all
schools of medicine now recognize to
a greater or less extent. The tomato
is eminently medicinal, it having, as
is well understood. specific action
on the liver, as direct and almost as
potent as mercury, the analogous &C.
ton of the two articles being indica-
ted also by the secondary effects On
the gums and teeth. But as the TEN.
permanent and dietetic habits of Amer.
leans predispose them to billiousness

A PERSIAN TALE; OR, LITTLE
THINGS NAY BE UsEFUL.-There was
once a prince who, being much dis
pleased with one of his mobiles deter
mined to punish him. The prince
commanded that he should be shut ur
in a high tower. Into this towel
there was only one entrance, which
was walled up Immediately after the
nobleman had been placed there
Thus all hope of escape seemed to bt
cut off, and the unhappy man was lef
to perish. Inside the tower there va.
a long winding staircase, by which th'
prisoner reached the top. While
looking down from there, he observed
his wife, who had come, indulging ;
faint hope that she might be able, b.
some means or other, to aid her hus
band in escaping from his place o
confinement. On inquiring if sh
could be of any service to him, he re
piled: "Oh! yes; 60 and procure
black beetle, little grease, a skeil
of silk, a skein of twine, and lons
rope" The poor wife fastened tt
obtain what her husband asked for
wondering, no doubt, at the strange
ness of his request. She soon re
turned, furnished with the things
Her husband then directed her to pu
the grease on the beetles head, t.
fasten the silk to its hind leg, tn
twine to the silk, and the rope to th
twinc, and then to place the beetle O.
the wall of the tower. On being Sc
at liberty on the wall, the beetle
smelling the grease on its head, an
not being able to discover where
was, crept up to the tower in scare
OF it till it arrived at the top. Th
nobleman caught it, and taking tn
silk from its hind leg, carefully dre'
it up. When he came to the end
the silk he found the twine, and mex
he came to the rope. Fastening thi
to crook, he let himself down, AM
thus made his escape.
