Ho
How now, Hornyhand,
Toiling in the crowd,
What is there in thee or thine
! Task thou seediest me sad mine -
Looking down so proud T
Thon'rt the bee, and I'm the drone !
Not so, Hornyhand !
6it beside me on the sward ;
Where's the need to stand f
And we'll reason, thou and I,
. Twixt the preen grass and the sky.
Thou canst plow and delve.
Thou canst weave and spin.
On thy brow are streaks of care.
Iron-gray's thy scanty hair.
And thy garments thin.
Were it not for such as them.
Toiling mom and night.
Luxury would lose its gauds.
And the land its might;
Mart and harbor would decay.
Tower and temple pass away.
Granted. Hornyhand -'
High's the work yon do!
Spring-time sowing-. Autumn tilth,
. And the red wine's lusty spilth.
Were not but for yon.
Art mud arms, and all the pride
Of our wealth and state,
gtart from Labor's honest hands
Labor high and great.
Sire of Plenty, friend of Mirth,
Master .of the willing Earth.
Yet, good Hornyhand,
Why shouldst thou be Tain ?
Why shouldst builder, plowman, smith.
Boastful of their strength and pith.
Scorn the busy brain T
Working classes, self-bedubb'd f
As if none bat they
Labor'd with incessant toil.
Night as well as day,
With the spirit and the pen
Teachers, guides and friends of men !
Drones there are, no doubt ;
Yet not all who seem :
Flesh and blood are not the whole ;
There's a honey of the sonL
Whatso'er thou deem.
Is the man who builds a book.
That exalts and charms.
Not as good as he who builds
With his brawny arms 1
What were Labor but for Thought T
Baseless effort, born of nought !
Many a noble heart.
Many a regal head.
Labors for our native land
Harder than the horniest . hand
For its daily bread.
Painter, poet, statesman, sage.
Toil for human kind.
Unrewarded but of Heaven,
And the inner mind.
Thon reeantest T So ! Tis done !
Fass from shadow into sun !
Variety.
Keep your temper in disputes. The colJ
bsmmer fashions the red-hot iron into any
shape needed.
It is not well to be much displeased with
harmless delusions that tend to make us hap
py. Learn not to judge too rashly of any one,
either in respect of good or evil, for both
are dangerous. Plato
There is a certain species of pride which
contradicts the ordinary symptoms of the
feeling, and appears most derated when it
would be reasonable to expect it should be
depressed.
It is a singular fact that duels and sui
cides are unknown among the Turks. They
believe in predestination, and are rigidly op
posed to the idea of hastening death by ar
senic or gunpowder. The conduct of the
Turks in this respect may be therefore held
op as a model for polite imitation.
Never. Never tip your beaver to a fine
lady, and pass a poor widow without seem
ing to see her.
Never pass an aged man or woman, with
out making a reverential obeisance, nnless
your house is on fire.
Never break your neck to bow at all to a
"sweet sixteen," with a flounced dress, who
is ashamed of her old fashioned mother: or
to a strutting collegiate who is horrified at
his grandmother's bad grammar.
Never keep a boy to black your boots and
attend to the stable, while yon frighten your
wife out of the idea of keeping a nurse for
the twins, by constantly talking of " hard
times."
Never converse with a lady with a cigar
in yonr month, or smoke in anybody's com
pany without apologizing for the same.
Never remind people of personal deformi
ty, or of the relatives who have disgraced
them.
Never leave a letter unanswered, and use
the stamp which was enclosed to you to
" reply with," on a letter to your own sweet
heart. Never ride in a fine carriage and keep a
a score of servants, while yonr widowed sis
ter trudges on foot, and toils for her daily
bread.
Never wear a finer coat than the mer
chant you owe for it, or the tailor whom you
have not paid for the making.
Never turn a deaf ear to a woman in dis
tress, because you cannot see how you would
be the gainer by her bettered condition.
Never wound wantonly the sensitive nature
of the constitutional invalid ; nor by rude
jests and sarcasms, send a blush to the tem
ples of modest merit.
Never jest with a single woman about the
anxiety of all women to be married ; nor
tell your wife you married her because you
pitied her lonley condition.
Never go to bed at ten, leaving your wife
up till two, with a sick baby ; and look pitch
forks at her at the breakfast-table, because
that meal is half an hoar too late.
Never hear ungracious strictures upon the
conduct of a woman, with a quiet smile, in
stead of saying in thunder tones, " it is false,
sir."
Never fall back from a bargain after the
articles of agreeement are drawn up. and
only need your signature to make them pcr-
iec.
Mlsstoirrllle Benevolence.
Br CHARLES CASTLETOX.
In the snug, cosy bar-room of the " Far
mers' Inn," at Missionville, sat six yonng
men. It was a ccld, bleak evening in De
cember : and the wind that howled and
drove without, drifting the snow and rat
tling the shutters, gave to the blazing fire
and steaming kettle additional charms and
comforts. There was Peter Hobbs, a youth
of five and twenty, who seemed to be the
leader, par excellence of the party. He was
a good natnred, intelligent, frank looking
man, and was really a noble-hearted citizen
Then there was John Fnlton, a youth of the
same age, who worked with Hobbs, both
being journeymen carpenters. Samuel Green
was a machinist : Walter Mason, a tin-
worker ; Lyman Drafce, a cabinet maker,
and William Robinson, a clerk. They
ranged, in age, from twenty-three to twenty
eight, and were really industrious youths,
receiving good wages, and maintaining good
characters for honesty, sobriety and general
good behavior. Yet they were looked upon
by some as nngodly youths, and given over
to perdition. True, they belonged to no
church ; and, amid the various conflicting
creeds by which they were surrouuded, they
had not yet settled down upon any one in
particular, believing that there was good in
rJl of them, and evil among the members of
each.
On the present occasion, they were all
of them smoking, and the empty mugs which
stood npon the table near them, showed
pretty conclusively that they had been drink
ing something besides water. The subject
of the cold winter had been disposed of ;
the quality of the warm ale and cigars had
been thoroughly discussed, and at length
the conversation turned upon the missionary
meeting, which had been held in the town
on the previous Sunday.
" I don't know but this missionary busi
ness is all right," "said Sam Green, knock
ing the ashes from his cigar with his little
finger, " bnt at the same time I don't be
lieve in it. Them Hindoos and South Sea
Islanders may be savage and ignoraat by
onr scale of measuring folks, but that is no
reason why we should send all our monev
off there, while onr own folks
at home."
are starving
" Did you put any thing into the box "
asked Lyman Drake.
"No," I didn't. When they shoved it in
my face, I told 'em I'd left all my money
home and so I had."
"You're about right, Sam," said Bill
Robinson. " But I did more than you did.
When the box was handed to me I spoke
right out, so that everybody around me
heard. I told tbe old deacon if he'd take
up a subscription to help the poor folks in
our own town, I'd put in soaething."
" What did he say to that V
"Why, he said souls were of more con
sequence than bodies, bo 1 just said back
that I guessed he'd find it hard work to
save a soul out of a starving body. But
you see that aren't the thing. They wont
try to save the souls, nor the bodies, either,
of their own townfolks. Now, when 'Squire
Trneman came here to settle, they tried
quick enough to save his soul. Yon see
his body was already salted down with ten
thousand dollars, so his soul was worth
something to 'em. That's the dogs of it.
Wbv don't they try to save poor old Israel
Trask's soul, and his wife's too V
" Wasn't there a committee of the church
that visited old Israel last month V queried
Drake.
Yes there was," answered Sum, giving
his cigar an indignant shake ; "and what
did they do ? They went there four on
'em and found the old folks suffering for
want of food and clothing. They tried to
make the old man believe that their religion
was the only true oue in the world, bnt he
wouldn't. So they gave him three tracts
and a little cheap book, and then went awav.
That's what they did. By hokey, afore I'd
give a cent to such chaps to send off to feed
their missionaries in Bangwhang and Slap-
flam Islands, I'd throw it iuto the fire."
" But these missionaries are honest peo
ple, and do some good," remarked Peter
Hobbs, who had not before spoken on the
subject.
"Of course they do," responded bam.
" Bat would't it look better of 'em to begin
some ot tucir cnarmes ai nome i nj
ngo, I judge of a man's order by the way
his own shop looks, and not by the way he
may fuss around on another roan's premises.
And just so with these jmuanthropists. i d
rather see how much their religion does
towards keeping the Gentiles of their own
town, than to go away off to the other end
of the earth to look f oft the fruits of their
Christianity. Them's my sentiments,"
" And mine, too'' tittered Walter Mason,
who had just thrown away the stnmp of one
cigar, and was about ugnting anoiner.
" Jost think, they collected last Sunday, to
send off to the Hindoos, over two hundred
dollars. Now, that would have made half
the poor families in this town and I don't
know but all comfortable for the winter.
There was Mr. Netherly worth forty thous
and dollars he put in a ten dollar bill. It
was a great, new bill, and he opened it and
held it uo. and even turned it round, so't
everybody could see it before he let it drop.
Then at the end, when the box was taken
up into the pulpit, the deacon whispered to
to the minister ; and the minister got up,
and said he, taking hold of the corner of
the rich man's bill : ' Here is ten dollars
from one brother. Let that brother be as
sured that this deed is remembered of him
in heaven.' Yes, that's what he said ; and
Mr. Netherly held up his head, bowed very
low, and then looked round at the rest of
the congregation, as much as to say, ' tliaf
me.' Now I know of another thing that
1 guess 11 be remembered in heaven, along
side of this one. Last week, poor old
Trask Uncle Israel called at Netherly's
with some baskets. You know the old man
gets out staff in the summer, and then in
the winter makes it up. Well, he went
there, and asked Netherly if be wouldn't
buy a basket. No, be didn't want one.
Then the old man told him bow he and his
poor wife were suffering, and he asked him
if he couldn't help him in some way : and
what d'ye think Netherly said 1 Why, he
said that he had to pay taxes to help sup
port a poor house, and told Uncle Israel
that he'd find help there, if he'd only apply
to the selectmen 1 Now what d'ye think of
tnat, en v
" Why," returned Sam, " I think if he's
got an account in heaven, he'll find a balance
against him, when he comes to settle up."
" So he will," responded three or four of
the others.
For some moments after this, the party
smoked in silence.
" Now, look here, boys," Hobbs at length
said, throwing his half-smoked cigar into
the fire, " there's a good deal of truth in
what what's been said in fact, it's all true ;
bnt before we blame others we onght to do
something ourselves. Now let us six go at
work and see what we can do towards alle
viating some of the distress about as. What
say you ?" ,
The other five looked on in wonder.
" But," 6aid Sam, " how are we to do It ?
We aren't among the favored ones. We
wasn't born with silver spoons in our
mouths."
" I should like to do it," added Drake "
bnt what's the use f We couldn't do much,
any way not enough to amount to any
thing." A nd so the others expressed their opinions
in like manner. They all " would like," but
where was the money to come from f"
" Listen," said Peter, and they all turned
towards him with a real deference, for they
knew that he never wore a cloak over bis
heart, and that when he spoke in earnest,
his meaning had depth in it. "Now I
have formed a plan. There is Uncle Israel j
and his wife : then there is the poor widow j
Manly, with four little children, suffering I
for the want of the actual necessaries of life; 1
and then there is Mrs. Williams she is i
very poor. Her son, Fhihp, who is her
main stav, was sick all the summer and fall.
and is sick now ; so the woman got nothing
Ironi her little patch of land, and is now ab
solutely reduced to beggary, with herself
and sick son to support. Now let us take
these three cases in hand, and support them.
" But how V asked three or four voices,
anxionsly, for they really and fully sympa
thized with the noble plan.
" I'll tell yon resumed Peter. " Here,
Tim," he called, turning to the bar-keeper,
" how much is our bill ?"
" Let's see," responded that worthy, com
iug up, "There's two cigars apiece, three
cents each that's thirty-six. Then the ale
three pints eighteen cents ': and wiue
three gills that's eighteen more makes
just thirty-six more ; and twice thirty-six
is seventy-two seventy-twe cents in all."
" Come beys," said Peter, " lets pay an
equal share to-night. Let's give ninepence
apiece.
So the "boys" paid up, and after Tim
had gone, Peter resumed:
" Now you see what we've spent to-night j
for nothing. I'll begin with you, Sam.
How much do you suppose you spend each
day for cigars and ale? Now reckon fairly." I
" Let's see," was Sam's response, after
gazing into the face of his interrogator until
be baa luriy got noia ot tne idea. " 1 cer
tainly average four no, fire cigars a day,
and I suppose they average three cents
apiece. Then domes my ale but I couldu't
tell how much that amounts to, for I don't
drink it regularly, but perhaps six cents a
day."
" That's just twenty-one cents per day
utterly wasted," said Peter; " and I'll own
up to wasting twenty-fire per day. How is
it with you, John?"
" I'll say twenty-five."
" And you, Walterr
"Just about the same."
" Lyman?"
"The same.". ,
"Bill?"
"The same"
" Now look at it. Here we are, a little
worse than wasting a dollar an.l a half per
day. But let us put our loss at a shilliug
each ."
" No, no," cried Sam, who saw through
the whole plan, " let's give honest measure.
I'll own up to the twenty-five. Let's go the
whole, if any."
" Yery well," returned Peter; " then let
us each lay away a quarter of a dollar eve
ry night, and at the end of a week we'll put
our savings all together, and then go on our
mission. What say you?"
With one voice the other five joined in
the plan. The novelty of the thing may
have pleased them ; but the real incentives
lay deeper down in the natural goodness of
their hearts. There was uo written pledge,
but they took a more sure method.
At length it became known that the poor
families in Missionville had found friends.
People were wouder-struck when they dis
covered how happy and joyous these once
miserable wretches had become; Sud more
still, when, one Sunday, they saw Uncle Is
rael and his wife, and Mrs. Manley, with her
two older children, enter the meeting.
Of course the truth leaked out, and we
can imagine where the public eye of sympa
thy and appreciation was turned. Before a
month was out, more than fifty people had
engaged indirectly in the work by placing
money, food and clothing in the hands of the
original six, for them to dispose of as they
deemed proper.
It was a glorious day for Missionville
when those six young mechanics met in the
village bar-room and concocted their plan.
How maav professed Christian churches arc
there in our land which would be benefitted,
and even Christianized, by following the ex
ample of the six noble youths who still
stand at the head of the Missionville Benev
olence !

of avoiding disappointments is not to expect

Moral Suasion.
iou will know it not, i can inform yon
thereon that tbe chiet city ot California is
somewhat iufested by Chinamen.
An acquaintance of onrs was junior part
ner and occasional salesman in a firm whose
business it was to sell fish-hooks, cod lines,
rope's ends, and other odds and ends. One
day, a John Chinaman, followed by a train
of about ten of his countrymen, ranged tan
dem fashion, entered the establishment, and
after peering around for a few seconds, ex
claimed :
; " Cotton seine twine got him ?"
" Yes !" was the answer.
"How much takee V "
" fin iiaIIah an nnnnj)
uv uvuui urn puuiiw
" Um ! give fifty cents ?f
"Get out !" said the Jun8r partner, with
a menacing gesture, and lbhu Chinaman
departed, followed by- bis u!,' and bis coun
trymen. ...
The train passed and repassed the door seve
ral times, and at lenght re-entered. John,
looking around as though he had never been
there before, again inquired:
"Cotton seine twine got him?" i
"Yes!"
" How much takee T"
" One dollar a pound f
" Um ! give sevenfo-five cents.?
" Get out !" cried the excited partner, and
the Chinese population departed as before.
The wild-geese procession paraded past a
few times and then re-entered. 1 he spokes
man, after gazing around some time, lifted
up his voice a third time, and thus spoke :
" Cotton seine twine got bini ?"
" Yes 1 ! P
" How much takee ?"
The salesman whispered to Patrick, the
porter, to haud him a cleaver. This bad, he
grasped the astonished John Chinaman with
bis left hand, and raising his (leaver, with
the right, exclamed : " Oxe dollar a pocnd
SIP
John gave one look at the clearer, another
at the face of the salesman, and felled out :
" IJtakee one hundred ponnd !'
The bargain was thereon closed. So much
for moral suasion. Porter's Spirit.
How to get Hid of Rats. There is a pub
lic house on the St. John's called " Rat Tav
ern." The name originated thusr
An American was traveling np the river
during a thaw in winter, when snow and
water were nearly knee deep. Late iu the
afternoon he came to this tavern, cold, wet
and hungry, and called for dinner. He was
told rather roughly by the landlord that tbe
dinner hour had passed, and be must wait
till tea. He then asked for a cold lunch, as
he was faint and hungry. After some
grumbling, this was brought on. The stran
ger ate and asked for his bilL
" Fifty cents," was the reply, in a growl
ing tone. " Dinner is a quarter, but a lunch
is out of season, and you must pay fifty
ceuts."
The traveler paid the bill, and sat down
to dry himself. Soon a cheese was brought
in by the maid very much mutilated by the
rats. The whole race of rats received a
volley of abuse from the enraged and indig
uant landlord.
" And why do you keep ratsP said the
Yankee. " I can give yon a receipt that I
can warrant you will keep every rat away."
" Ah! aud how much will you charger '
" 0, about fifty cents.'
The landlord, somewhat complacent, re
turned the half dollar.
" Now," said he, " for the receipt."
" Well, sir," said the Yankee, " whenever
a rat comes to your house, cold, wet and
hungry, give him a cold lunch and charge
him half a dollar, and I'll be bound he'll
never come again!"
Sax Fk"axcisco Maxi-factcres. To em
employ our mechanics and laborers, and to
save a portion of the immense drain of gold
which semi-monthly leaves our shores, are
two important features in the political econ
omy of California. The Sau Francisco Su
gar Refining Company gives its aid in both.
It employs sixty men, manufactures from
brown Manilla a pure white sugar, which
equals tbe best article imported, and is ca
bled to supply the whole of California, Ore
gon and Washington with this great staple.
The raw sugar costs ten cents per pound,
the refined is laid down here from New York
at sixteen ceuts. Thus over one-third of the
amount paid for white sugar will be retained
here by the operations of this company.
Their works on Price street, near Folsom,
are in active and saccessful operation. We
have compared a sample of the first products
of their labor with the white sngar made by
Stuart, of New York, and that by Love-
ridge, of Philadelphia, (the two leading
brauds.) and we find the home article equal
to them in every respect. Forty thousand
barrels will be turned out annually by tbe
San Francisco Co., and this must soon 6top
the importation from the Atlantic States.
Connected with the works is a steam cooper
age, also giving employment to a number of
hands, aud making superior barrels from
Oregon yellow fir. We wish- the new enter
prise every success, and none can doubt it
who will visit the scene of their operations.

Chung Bacon. TheEuglish ueversmoke
their bacon. They sny :
" Oh, the troubles folks hare taken
To smoke and spoil their bacon."
The Canadian Agriculsurist, taking the
same view, says that curing bacon is like
the Irishman's mode of making punch. He
said " Tut iu the sugar, aud then fill it up
with whisky, and every drop of water yon
put in after that spoils the punch." Just so
with curing bacon. After being properly
salted, peppered at the hock end, every drop
of smoke you put about it spoils the bacon.
Another mode of saving bacon has been
given by a correspondent jf the New Eng
land Farmer. He says be was entertained
at the house of a friend, and at dinner he
had reason to compliment him on the excel
lent quality of his bacon, and inquired to
know his niethod.of preparing and preserv
ing. To our surprise, says he, we were in
formed that that portion of our meal was
cooked eight months before. He stated that
it was his practice to slice and fry bis bacon
immediately on its being cured, and then
pack down in its own fat. When occasion
comes for using it, the slices, slightly refri
ed, had all the freshness and flavor of new
bacon just prepared. . In this way onr friend
had succeeded in " saving his bacon" fresh
and sweet through tbe hotest weather.
