with chiIdren's clamor and heavy care,
II seemed that mine was the "iion's share
And John with look that told he heard,
Went ON To his work with q calm absurd
Weary and heartsick all OF the day,
The heavy hours went slowly away
The night came down. but no John returned,
To where the hearth fire sulkily burned;
1 gave the children their supper and bed,
And crouched by the Goals with an aching head.
o was It dream-that seemed to be john
So weary and painfully hammering on,
Seemed to be laboring over my strength,
Till the long. long day was over ut length
With cruel words and a haunting sneer
Flung often at him by the overseerS
o was It a dream that, the day now DER
They doubled his task and abused him more,
That the patient mind had but one refrain,
81 bear, for my home and the living to galn;
But the word had spoken nNld its smart,
And was like fire in the patient heart.

A leap in my heart moves me on to the door.

JOHN ADAMS PUPILS.
Lively Description of His School ana
Certain Thoughts Thereupon.

A Lively Description of His School ana
Certain Thoughts Thereupon.
After taking the degree of Bachelor
of Arts at Harvard, John Adams taught
school at Worcester, Mass. In the fol-
lowing letter. written March 15 1850,
he gives lively description of his
school and certain thoughts thereupon..
The letter is to Judge Richard Cranch,
of Boston:
Il sometimes in my sprightly mo-
ments consider myself in my great
chair at school as some dictator at the
head of a Commonwealth. In this little
State l can discover all the great gem
iuses all the surprising actions and rev.
olutions of the great world in minia-
ture.
81 have several renowned Generals
but three feet high, and several deep
projecting politicians in petticoats. l
have others catching and dissecting
flies, accumulating remarkable pebbles,
cockel shells, etc, with as ardent Curl
osity as any virtuoso in the Royal So
ciety.
''Some rattle and thunder out A, B,
c, ETC., with as much fire and impetuos-
ity as Alexander fought, and very often
sit down and cry as heartily upon being
outspelt as Caesar did when at Alexan-
der's sepulcher he recollected that the
Macedonian hero conquered the world
before his age.
'At one table sits Mr.. Insipid, fop-
pling and fluttering, spinning his whir-
ligig or playing with his fingers, as gaily
and wittily as any Frenchified coxcomb
brandishes his cane or rattles his snuff
box. At another sits the polemical di-
vine, plodding and wrangling in his
mind about Adams fall in which we
sinned ALL as his primer has it.
SIN short, my little school, like the
great world, is made up of kings, poll
ticians, divines, LII. d. s, fops, buffoons,
fddlers, sycophants, fools, eoxcombs,
chimney -sweepers and every other char
a,ter drawn in history or seen in ths
world. Is it not then the highest pleas
ure to preside in this little world, to be-.
stow the proper applause upon virtuous
and generous actions, to blame and pun.
lsh every vicious and contracted trick, to
tear out of tho tender mind every thing
that is mean and little, and fire the
newborn soul with a noble ardor and
emulation? The world affords no greater
pleasure. Youths Companion.

BANKRUPT PRINCES.

German Mngnates Who Have Recently
Been Declared Insolvent.
Bankruptcy appears to be becoming
fashionable among the great Princes Of
Germany. Within tho last two months
Prince Albert, of the sovereign house Of
Waldeek; Prince Charles, of the reign
ing family of Liechtenstein, and Prince
TrautmannsdorH, have all three been
declared insolyent debtors and placed
"unter curatelle," and now Prince
Frederick ~. of Salmiyrburg has been
subjected to similar ignominy.
Forty-four years OF age and the pos
SCISSOR OF numerous titles, including
that OF a Rhinegrave and of similar
Spanish Grandee OF the first class, his
debts at present amount to about So
600, 900. During the course o! the legal
proceedings IL was shown that until his
fathers death he had been forced to
content himself with u paltry allowance
OF Sl,200 per nnnum, which, although
possibly sufficient for the wants of an
ordinary mortal, was far from adequate
for high and mighty Prince, who re-
fuses to smoke any thing but Havana
cigars at So apiece. Under the circum-
stances, it is not surprising that 1t
should have been tobacco merchant
who first instituted the steps that
finally landed His Highness in
the Bankruptcy Court and re-
suited in his being placed ''un-
ter curatelle." This 'unter ouratelle"
condition is one that is exceedingly un-
pleasant 1t Is equivalent to declara-
tion of perpetual minority, and the per-
son on whom It is imposed is not only
declared incapable of managing his own
affairs, but is practically outlawed and
deprived OF the electoral franchise. and
almost every other right of citizenship.
No civil contract entered into by him is
valid. His signature Is OF no account
In point OF law, and from the legal
point of view he is nobody--as unsub-
stantial as the family ghost and as ire
sponsible as a babe unborn. Prince
Trautmannsdortf was the president OF
the Austrian Jockey Club, where he LOST
