Schools Out.

Did you ever pause and contemplate
that particular and peculiar phase of hu-
man nature developed by the existent
school boy when released from study and
and discipline-when ''school is out" and
he is on his way home?
Ordinary humanity, when released from
the tolls of the day, is prone to to seek
rest and relaxation. The boy scorns all
such eliminate ideas. He is composed of
but three parts-legs, arms and yell, and the
yell is the biggest part of him. His legs
and arms have been kept in irksome COM

exercised. His voice has been ssething
and swelling in him for hours, and now
must have vent.
As soon as he is clear of the school-house
steps he stops and deliberately yells yell
that is ear-splitting, but which has no more
object, meaning or direction than the mid
night vociferation of mule, and vet it

he is no respecter of persons and is utter
ly Indifferent as to whether he runs down
a smaller boy, spins an aged citizen three
times around or mashes a girls hat over
her eyes in his headlong career.
Nervous ladies hug the sides of the
houses as he rushes by in a drove like
whirlwind and screams like a steam
whistle.

to enchant and rejoice the eye at every

A matchless round of sunset-gilded lands

Translucent horizons, with here and there
A feck ofrosy mist-a film of gold;
And radiant vistas of the mountains old,

The ship Brown Brothers arrived
at Boston on the 9TH ultimo from
Port Madison, Washington Territory,
taking there the first cargo Of ship
spars and deck planking ever re
ceived from the Pacific Coast. The
homeward voyage was made in 12s
days. The first shipment of this
kind to the Atlantic was landed at
Bath last year. The Brown Broth
ers was built at Newburyport with
the view of being employed in the
transportation Of spars from Puget
Sound, and as more than ordinary
strength Of hull was required for this
service, extra expense was made to
make her the strongest ship in the
American mercantile marine, and her
builders succeeded in this object, ac.
cording to the opinion of nautical
judges. Her original cost was about
$4,000.
