The little ones are thirsty as they saunter home
fiNam school,
And they hurry up the bank to where, 50 sill
very and so cool,
A tiny streamlet trickles down, beneath q
Jusi how enough for chubby hands aud poutins
lips 70 reach.
The setting sun is glowing ON the autumn
tinted leaves,
and gliding with richer gold the waves Of
rpenlng sheavcs,
And, through the tangle az The hedge, warm
rays their glory shed,
Round laughing faoos pcoplng out nom hoods
OF blue and rcd.
The lane is deep and shady, ana the treasures
hidden there,
Judging from shouts Of glad surprise, are very
rich aud rare,
And on the thnIi Of Wild delight ia happy
eyes expressed
Mhen-grand disc0vcry--a boy pulls forth a
nouScs nest
And then the tempting hramhle-vreaths invite
the babes again.
Their pretty nOuthS with hlsckbcrrics 50 sweet
and ripc % stain;
And many a brown nus slips its sheath 20
share, poor little thing.
A bursting pocket with knife, six marbles and
some string.
And then the waysile tow'rets, and the grace
fUl n0lliRg grass
Seem blooming ouiy for small hands 90 gather
as they pass
And there are velvet liehens too, and moss-eups
10 be found.
ThsFe is no eno 10 an the wealth with which
these banks abound.
And 80 the happy moments Of the autumn az
terncon
Steal by, and evenings veil Of mist is falling all
too soon
Then = the glOw-Worm lights her lamp, the
little tired feet
Turn slowly 70 their cottage homes, across the
springing peat.
Oh little ones, wonder in the years that vet
shall he.
When lingering memory calls 10 mind that
lane, and riI. and tree.

were girls and bows,

CuriosIties Of Life.

Lay your finger on your pulse, and
know that at every stroke some immor-
tai passes to his Maker some fellow
being crosses the river OF death (; and
il we think OF IL, we may well wonder
that il should be 80 long before our time
comes.
Half of all who live die before they
are seventeen.
Only one person in ten thousand lives
to be one hundred years old, and but one
in hundred reaches sixty.
The married live longer than the sim
gle.
There is but one soldier 10 every eight
persons, and out Of every thousand
born only ninety-fve weddings take
place.
II You take thousand persons who
have reached seventy years, there are,
clergymen, orators, and public speak
ers, 43; farmers, 40; workmen, 33 /; sol
diers, 80 lawyers, 20 I; professors, "a
doctors, "a.
These statements are very instructive.
Farmers and workmen do not arrive mt
n good old age as often as the clergymen
and Others, who perform no manual Ia
Dor; but this is owing to the neglect OF
the laws of health, inattention 10 the
proper habits OF life in eating, drinking,
sleeping, dress, and the proper care OF
themselves after the work OF the day is
done. These workmen and farmers eat
heavy supper of a summers day, and
sit around the doors in their shirt
sleeves, and in their tired condition and
weakened circulation, are easily chilled,
laying the foundation for diarrh9a, bill
GUS collie, lung fever, or consumption.

Hoes N JAPAS.-James Brooks now
In Japan, writes There is speculation
going on, inst now, among the Japs who
have seen China, In hogs. The live hog
market has been going up and down.
Just like stock in the WaIl street market
and hogs here have their bears and
q bulls Just a. other stock, or stocks
have them. A SOW and litter Of pigs,
some time ago, sold as high as 81 500 /;
but now the bears have their way, and
they have ruined the bulls in hogs. But
they don't drive hogs here, on the To-
caido, as we do in America. When hogs
are recalcitrant, as in America, they
don't here turn tail where head ought TO
be, and drive them backwards, but in
mercy for the dear hog they tenderly
put him in q basket, and sling the basket
on pole over two Coolies shoulders,
and in this way Japs drive hogs to the
Yeddo market.

TRANSPORTING BEEF.--St Louis has
recently made an experiment looking 10
the supply OF her citizens with Texas
beef. Eighteen beeyes recently slaugh-
tered at Chetopa, in the Indian Territory,
were trnnsportated to-refrigeratiDg cars
10 that market, and found 10 be ar fresh
and good rs at the hour of starting The
transit took some three or fom days,
but, with lines fully opened, two days
would have suficed. When this interest
developes further, the live stocb trade
will probably undergo a revoluti, N, and
the barbarity Of hauling cattle packed
solid in cars, over n thousand miles TO
market, will cease. The economy OF
sending meat instead OF live stock is a
very important item, and the supply at
given points san always be regulated by
telegraph.

A LITTLE JoKE-Lord ShAftesbury,
in speech at Glasgow on mission
chapels, good books, city buildings, and
civilization generally, told story 10
illustrate the difficulty Of housing the
people wen. There was an abomi-
nable district in London, he said. He
selected n house, and persuaded the
inmates 10 allow him, at some expense,
TO whitewash the walls, and make the
place MS tidy and comfortable as posi-
bic. They consented. A short time
afterward he went there, and anything
more begrimed than the appearance Of
the house, more shocking 10 any person
caring for decency, he could not con-
coive. He said, What on earth is
this p and the reply was, Plaze your
honor, the house looked 80 cold and
uncomfortable that sent for the sweep,
and axcd him 10 give us few warm
touches. ,"

The Culture of Fish.

The American N1iifrdiisi reviews the
recent progress in fish culture in this
country. The report of the Massachusetts,
commissioners gives much encourage
ment to those who advocate restocking
our rivers with salmon, trout, shad, ale
wives, bass, etc. The great run Of shad
in the Connecticut, in the spring Of 1870,
has been by popular voice attributed 10
the artificial Matching of the fish in that
river, in 1867. Many thousand young
fry of the salmon, st. Croix salmon,
Sebago salmon, togue, and common
trout have been placed in the rivers and
ponds of Massachusetts, and adjoining
states during the past year, and il is con-
fidently expected that we shall again
have salmon and trout abundant in our
waters. Mr.. Atkins, the able commits
sioner Of Maine, in his report, enters
very fully into the subject of fishwnys,
and repeats that all those ways complet-
ed in time for the fish to ascend during
the season OF 1870 were highly success
full He shows conclusively that properly
constructed fshways can be made, at
comparatively slight expense, which viii
not only furnish n free passage 10 the
fish, but also not materially injure the
water power of the parties owning the
dams. Their construction on every
salmon, shad, and alewife river and
stream in the country is now only
matter of time for, rs il is proved that
their construction is now simply matter
Of dollars and cents, and also that the
interest received by the community is
very large on the small capital required
to be invested, the most penurious Of
dam owners will be forced by public
sentiment to keep.the fishways, which the
laws oblige them TO build, in good re-
pair" In New York, Mr. Seth Green,
"pre-eminently the practical fish-breeder
of the United States" has restocked the
Hudson above the Troy dam, with two
and half million Of young fry of the
shad. During the year, also, large
state Matching house has been built at
Caledonia, and placed under the charge
of Messrs. Green and Collins, who have
very successfully carried out q number
of experiments, and Matched n large
number OF fish OF various kinds.

An AsEcDorE OF Mrs. SmDoNs. "A
correspondent of the London Times
says Mrs. Siddons was lady's maid,

relation OF the Greatheads. She was at
Guys Cliff when young Greathead
broke his leg. He was remarkably
clever boy, and the Duchess's maid,
for his amusement during the tedious
hours of his recovery, used TO read
Shakespeare to him. The boy was de-
lighted, and insisted upon Siddons GO
ing down to the drawing-room TO read
before the Duchess and the party stay
ing at the house. Her Grace remon-
strated. She had no idea of her maid
being brought SO prominently for
ward but the boy would not be refused.
He was furious at the denial, and, with
more zeal, perhaps, than discretion, he
retorted upon his noble relative in these
words "My lady Duchess, Siddons is
one of God Almighty's mobiles, and that
is more than your Grace can say for your
self"
