An OLD POEM.

Then Hercses went to unbind Pumetheua the ancient
that he sailed the length Of the great ocean in nj
ben pitcber-l
Brother man, where's thou art.
That are suffering grief and woe
Fram this fable take new heart,
Feel the lesson il doth show
God-ike mind in bsdy frail
That can stem the Wintry sea,
Breasting storms with taftered sail
Struggling with adversity-
Know that triumph ever blesses
him y h"m courage still Possesses
When the storm hath pressed thee sore,
And the wrecking rocks are near.
Fearless gaze upon the shore
Though il show but stern and drear;
Wariiy direct thy helm,
Grzsping it with stezdfast hand,
Fearful hearts aizht storms o'erwhelm,
Timid ones ne'er reach the land:
Keep thine eyes undimmed by fear,
Thou shalt safe 10 harbor steer.
Seest thou on life's dreary coast
Al thy fortune wrecked and gone
All that made thy mauhood's boast
Vanished like the dews Of dawn
Friends that toasted at thy board.
Eyes that looked with love on thee
Thank thy fate that such horde
Fled thee with prosperity.
Now thou know ST their value WELL
And the true from false canst tell
When the gods aroused ire
Bound Prumetheus tn his rock
In revenge for theft Of firr
Barred him to each storms rude shock;
And. to add Disgrace tn pain.
That his soul might feel the smart
Bound him with the felon's chain
Set vulture grief to gnzv his heart;
All their malice proved but naught,
Resolution lived in thought
Thus though sorrows harass life.
Still the brave will with them cope;
Hearts and arms grow strong with strife.
And. though bound gain wider scope.
When Anteus touched the gr0und,
Wrestling with the demi- god
He arose at each rebound,
Fresher frum his mother sd; 80
Though his falsehood did not thrive.
Let Il teach the true 10 strivei HA
Let them thus ffum every fall - -
With renewed vigor rise.
Till. at last. they vanquish all
That dispute the wisbetfor prize.

REMOVING PAINT FROM WINDOws.-Inexperi-
enced painters, when painting window castings
and sashes, frequently spatter paints in minute
dots over the surface Of many Of the panss, where
it is left until it becomes dry and hard. Neat
workmen always have q clean cloth or sponge,
which is dipped in q little spirits of turpentine,
After the print has become dry and hard, strong
seapsuds will not remove il without q vast deal
Of hard rubbing The most economical way to
remove dry paint from the panes is to make a
small swab, having handle some eight inches
long, dip it in little diluted Oxalic acid and rub
off the paint with the swab.

A correspondent ofForest and Stream,
who had been on hunting expedition
ON Banana river, writes: My attention
was called TO a disturbance among the
mangroves Of little islet near, and
soon there tapped into view black
duck, a female, evidently wounded.
Close in her wake followed a sly looking
coon, his attention so occupied with the
duck as not to notice me till fairly IN
view. Then he hesitated, but the duck
brushed so near bis nose that he again
took up the pursuit throwing a glance
occasionally at me. II was interesting
to watch them; keeping Just ahead OF
her pursuer, the duck would beat the
water quickly, all time in evident pain,
and would so delude the old fellow that
he finally seemed 10 think Of nothing
else but catching her. What a puzzled
expression his shrewd face wore when,
after nearly placing his paw upon her,
she would escape. Then he would stop,
look at me as il to say what the deuce
does all this mean?' and arching his
back, would again pursue with long
leaps. For over quarter OF an hour
did the duck play with him, till having
enticed him sufficient distance from
her nest, she few away. If ever the face
of sharp.nosed coon wore a sheepish
look, it was the face Of that same coon.

charge of duck shot.
