An Old Poem. .
' Who shall judge a man from manners?
Who shall know him bv his dress?
Panpers may be 6t for princes,
Princes fit for something less.
Crumpled shirt and dirty jacket
May beelothe the frolJea ore.
Of the deepest thoughts and feelings ;
Satin vests could do no more.
. There are springes of crystal nect.tr
Ever welling out of stone ;
There are purple bnds, and jjolden, .
Hidden, crushed and overgrown. ' -God,
who counts by sonls, not dresses,
Loves and prospers yon and me,
While he values thrones, the highest.
But as pebbles in the sea.
Man, upraised above his fellows,
Oft forgets his fellows 'then ;
Masters, rulers, lords, remember
That your meanest hinds are men;
. Men hy labor, men by feeling-.
Men by thought, and men by fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine
In a man's ennobling name.
There are foam-embroidered oceans.
There are little wood-clad rills,
, There are feeble inch-high sap'ings, .
There are cedars on the hiiis ;
God who oonnts by sonls not stations,
Loves and prospers yon and me ;
For to him all vain distinctions
Are as pedbles in the sea.
- Toiling hands alone are bnilders . "
Of a nation's wealth or fame ;
Titled laziness is pensioned.
Fed and fattened on the same ;
By the sweat of other's forehead's,
"Living only to rejoice.
While the poor man's outraged freedom,
Vainly litteth up its voice
Truth and justice are eternal,
Born with loveliness and light ;
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is a sunny right ;
God, whose world-heard voice is singing
Boundless love to you and me.
Sinks oppression with its titles, .
As the pebbles in the sea.
Ret. Peter Cartwright at the Astor
Hocse. Some church affairs made it ntct s
ary for Mr. Cartwright to visit New York
city come years ago, and it was arranged Tor
him that he should put up at the Astor
House. It was here that his brethren ex
pected to meet him; his social and "denomi
national appointments had reference to the
Astor House as his head quarters. When
3Ir. Cartwright, however, appeared at the
Astor, there was nothing in his backwoods
appearance that suggested to its proprietors
Ins worthy position among the fathers of
Methodism; when, therefore, he requested
to be shown to his room, he was very cava
lierly tamed over to a servant to show him
up stairs. Up stairs they went up, up,
tup, Mr. Cartwright in wondering amaze
ment lost the servant apparently nntiring
in his amusement of ascending. Finally,
the servant opened the door of an apartment
np in the attic story, and pointed it out to
Mr. C. as his room. Father Peter detained
the servant while he took a general survey
of the premises repeated the inquiry if this
was the room he was to occupy and at
length appearing to be well satisfied, he dis
posed of his baggage, and very politely re
quested the servant to be good enougii to
show him down stairs again. The servant
preceded Father Cartwright down, down,
till they reached at length the street landiDg;
but, before the servant could make his es
cape, Peter inquired if he wouldn't please to
show him up again! feo up they went again,
heavenward, and at last Peter found his
room, and permitted the servant to depart
in peace. The servant, however, had little
more than found hiroselfdown stairs, when
Uncle Peter rang the bell vigorously. In
due time, up came the servant, by this time
panting with the unusual exertion.
"My good friend, I am sorry to trouble
yon, bnt I should be glad to see the clerk,
if yon will be kind enongh to send him to
my room."
"Oh; certainly."
1 And so down, down goes the servant, to
isay to the clerk that a singular old chap up
in the nprer storr wanted him to come to
iiis room. And tbaji up, up goes Mr. Clerk.
"Are you the clerk?"
'Yes, Sir."
"Well, you will place me under great ob
ligations to you, if will thow me the way
down stairs!"
And when once more down stairs, after
Uncle Peter had taken another careful sur
vey of the surroundings, the clerk very po
litely inquired if there was nothing further
he could do for him.
"Yes," says Uncle Peter, "yes, my friend,
I would be greatly obliged to you for a
broad-axe!"
' "A broad-axe!" says Mr. Clerk, in aston
ishment,; "and what do you propose to do
with a broad-axe?"
"I thought I should like to 'llaze'my uay
to my room."
It is needless to say that Peter Cart wright
was the lion of that week at the Astor;
and that it was not further required of hiui
to climb up that endless series of stairways
but, when his friends called again to in
quire for, or call upon him, they found him
aoagly euscoused iu oue of the most eligible
rooms iu the bouse. .

A ftood Xium.
In the action of many young men may
often be detected a recklessness as to the
opinions of others and the reputation they
may form by their conduct. Practically,
there are few harder lessous to acquire by
the young than that their present conduct
will build them up a reputation from which
they may wish hereafter to escape but can
not. When a young niau learns this les
son thoroughly, he has acquired a knowl
edge the value of which he shall know bet
ter by and by than he can now. : This seems
to be the line which divides wisdom from
folly, and we think some popular authors
have committed an indiscretion in the man
ner in which they speak of a young man's
" sowing his wild oats," as if it were a neces
sity for him to indulge iu vice to some ex
tent before he settles down into the sobri.
cty ami virtue of a well bred christian geu
tletnan. We protest against this perni
cious error as one which has ruined thou
sands, who but for this would have escaped.
It is indeed a very singular notiou to graft
into a young man's mind that in order to
become a model of temperance, he must
hare been stung by the adder of druuken
ness; that in order to be a model of virtue,
he must enter "the house which is the way
to hell." In respect of honesty, temper
ance, virtue, and every other grace which
one desires to be reputed as having, we hold
that the Scripture rule is the only safe one,
as given in the character of Joseph, as an
nounced in these words, ' Whatsoever a
man soweth that shall he also reap.'. We
hold and teach that a blot on the moral
charactar of even a young man is very hard
to remove, and that therefore he should
be warned not to touch that accursed
thing.
.Not long since we conversed a while with
an old friend, and spoke of a natural ac
quaintance who had attaiued eminence in
oue of the great christian denominations in
this country. His fame as a preacher and
a man ot piety was widely known, out our
friend remarked:
I knew him when he was a young man,
and cannot rid mrself of the notion that
he is a hypocrite now, as he was confess
edly then. I am not alone in this opinion;
all who knew him when he was young feels
as I do."
We could not sympathize with this feel
ing, for we believed then, and do now, that
the person alluded to is au exemplary chris
tian; but we perceive in the case an em
phatic testimony to the truth we have an
nounced, that it is a sad thing for a young
man to act so as to acquire a bad reputa
tion, because that reputation will haunt him
like his shadow as long as he lives. We
have knowu instances not a few in which
young men have beeu led to commit what
a ycung mawkish charity calls indiscretions,
but which the truth must call abominable
crimes. Some of these to all appearances
have repented sincerely and have entered
on a virtoous life. Of this number a few
have eutered some one of the learned pro
fessions, and yet we find that those who
knew their early crimes stand iu doubt of
them to this day. It was not loug since we
met such a mau; it was years since we had
seen him, and it was a thousand miles from
the place of his sin. He has of late years
led asteady and 6ober life; but when those
who knew him years ago see or hear of him
now, they fiud it difficult to shut their eyes
upon the sins of Lis youth. That stain is
indelible, and its memory will hardly be bu
ried in the grave. By this wc do not mean
to discourage the efforts of the fallen to
rise, but simply to warn the innocent to
beware how they cloud their names with
the reputation of crime. A good name is
better than great riches; it is better than
ointment poured forth.-
In looking over the list of our early com
panions, we are surprised to find so many
of them suffering the retribution of early
crime. Two of them were tempted to dis
honesty, and fell. One of these two has
since occupied high office in a western State
but that early crime could not be left at
home. Another became 6ecretly addicted
to card playing, and when on his way sonth
on a Missisippi steamer in pursuit of a
school, supposing himself unknown to all
on board, he indulged in gambling. A gen
tleman on the boat was on the point of of
fering him a lucrative situation, when he
saw him seat himself at the card table.
This yonng man has since become a vaga
bond. Another on a similar vovase on a
western river, gambled all his money away,
but has since led a better life: and vet the
memory of his misdeeds has not perished.
Many are afraid of him. Another fell in
to a sin we will not mention, and though
for vears he has sought to cover up that
crime, he niav live a hundred years a life of
good works, and yet shall find it true that
"The evil that men do lives after them.'
Our aire is one partilarly marked with
temptations to the young. The thorough
fares of our cities, aud even the quiet streets
of our villages, abound in enticements to
evil. This is an age of extravagance in ap
parel, in meats and drfnks, in houses, and,
in a word, all the appliances of luxury.
Journals are not blameless in this respect.
They have too often sounded the praises of
wealth, and in some cases have sought to
palliate crimes of men in high position.
As we see the youth growing up around us
beset by so many and peculiar tempta'.ious,
we feel called upon to warn them to beware
lest they yield to these temptations to their
life-long sorrow. We would counsel them,
when tempted, to jay as did Joseph, "How
cau I do this great wickedness, aud siu
agaiusi God?" Evangelist., .
J66 A noted French savan has recently
declared that more than three-fifths of the
suicides, which are now so frequent, are di
rectly traceable to a morbid feeling, superin
duced by a derangement of the digestive
organs huch being the case, we recomraeuu,
to any oue seriously contemplating suicide,
that he take a moderate dose of the tir&fen
berale Yegetable Pills, aud if in twenty-four
Lours he does not feel as if he had taken a
new lease of life, we will never again attempt
to "minister to a mind diseased."
Happiness. One of the editors of the
Bostcu Pot, (Col. Grceue, of course,) says:
"We have cnjoyed( the world as much as
others, but Lave never been happier thau
when a boy we louuu a parirmgu6uc&i, nu
eleven eggs in it."

Tub Spider in iiis Workshop. Few per
sons can boast of having seen the garden
spider in bis operations, says the Insect Cu
riosities. They work either in the uight or
very early in the morning. I contrived,
however, to see the architect ere he had en
tirely finished his outworks, and was indeed
delighted at the wonderful 6agacity of his
educations. He planned and executed at the
"same time. There was no guess work; ev
ery thing was done on mathematical princi
ples of exactness. His ropes, ladders aud
scaffolding being adjusted and fixed,- and
their strength thoroughly tested, the next
step was to proceed with the internal ar
rangements. These consisted of a series of
concentric circles in the formation of which
the most consummate art was manifested.
The bouse spider's net or web, is com
posed of one kind of silk only. The gar
den spider uses two kinds of silk in its op
erations. That which is employed in con
structing the radia is not au adhesive na
ture; but the reverse in the case with the
silk used for the concentric circles; conse
quently it is by these last that the prey is
secured. On paying a secoud visit he is
seen comfortably aud bodily stretched out
on the center of bis mansion, head down
wards. He had not breakfasted but was
evidently expecting company. Having wit
nessed his gigantic labors, a thought sug
gested itself that I should assist in provi
ding the company. Accordingly a wasp
which found its way in at the window was
struck down. Picking it np with the end
of a pair of partially closed scissors, I took
my position in front of the web. The eyes
of the spider, ft would appear, are so con
structed as uot to difc.ru large subjects un
less iu motion. My presence, therefore, was
quite unheeded. 1 had frequently noticed
this curious fact on former occasions. Pre
senting the wasp at the end of his scissors
his majesty first regarded it with fear; then
with a feeling of hungry delight. His first
impression was to ruu away from it, which
be did. But as it was uot quite dead, and
was struggling lie evidently feared it might
break away, and escape altogether.
Returning, therefore, he surveyed his prey
as if doubtful bow to manage him, for he
unmistakably dreaded bis sting. Herein
was seen the sagacity, instead of reason of
our hero. Placing oue toe on the head, and
another on the lower part of the wasp's
body avoiding the sting in the most mas
terly manner in this stretched out posi
tion he turned several somersets with him,
and fairly doubled him up in bis web, encas
ing him so firmly in his foils of new spun
silk that his death was immediate. He
then dragged him up to a little apartment
over-arched by ivy, aud there he sucked the
juice of his body. In the course of suudry
other experiments with this same spider. I
coaxed him to come down over and over
again, to secure other prey in form of flies,
kc, which I presented with the naked fin
ger and thumb. He seized them greedily
spun rapidly round them to entomb them in
his foils, on every occasion returned imme
diately to his apartment to continue his
feast on the savory wasp.
A Royal Wedding. Having sometime
since given our fair readers a short descrip
tion of the wedding of the heir apparent of
the Prusian throne and the Princess Uoyal
of England, we now take from the Nebras
ka City News an account of another onion
betweeu princes of the blood. The groom,
Whitewater, is a Pawnee Chief, and the
bride, Wah-muslipe-shinga, an Otoe prin
ces. The chieftain's daughter was elegantly
dressed in a red flannel shirt with deep blue
calico border, a check apron, a summer
killed boffuio robe and a white felt hat.
Her jewels were maguificeut. From either
auricular depended oruameuts of brass, tin
aud copper.
We must notjorait to mention that Miss
ah-mush-pe-shinga also wore a "red petti
coat," embroidered according to a design of
her own, with porcupine quills, represent
ing a desperate dog fight. 'Her entire
wardrobo and jewelry could not have cost
less than six thousand dollars in Fontenelle
money. The bridegroom was attired in all
the magnificence which his rank and wealth
demanded. He wore a standing shirt col
lar, a medal of President Pierce, . a blue
straight-collared soldier coat, with brass
buttons and an elegant pair of Spanish
spurs, while his stalwart loins were admira
bly clothed in an ancient coffee sack. Al
together the appearance of both the bride
and bridegroom was appropriate to their
high sphere in life.
The most sumptuous feast awaited the
guests at the residence of the bride's father.
It was spread iu a camp-kettle and suspen
ded over the lodge. It consisted of young
dog-meat, beaver tails and mule steak, fresh
fish and sugar, making altogether, one of
the most palatable and nourishing com
pounds that ever graced a royal camp-ket
tle. The horn-spoons of occidental luxury
seldom convey to the educated palate vi
ands more tempting and delicious. As for
drinks, corn-whiskey, made of red pepper.

with molasses-sweetened coffee made up the

A Beactifol Idea. Away among the
AUeghauies. there is a spring, so small that
a single ox, in a summer's day, could drink
it dry. It steals it unobtrusive way among
the hills, till it spreads out in the Ohio.
Thence it stretches away a thousand miles,
leaving on its banks more than a thousand
villages and cities, and mauy thousand culti
vated farms and bearing on its bosom more
than half a thousand steamboats. Then
joining the Mississippi, it stretches away
and away some twelve hundred miles more,
till it fulls into the great emblem of eternity.
It is oue of the great tributaries of the

Where Kthah Allen was Bcribo.
There is some doubt as : to the exact locali
ty of the grave of the old .Vermont patriot,
Ethan Allen. His remains cannot be found.
The lhirliugton Times contains the follow
ing letter, which is of more than "ordinary
interest: ? i
"West Georgia, Yt, May IT, 1858.
"Mr. C. N. lArar Sir : Yoor let
ter of the 14th s receited and coutents no
ticed. I am now in my 86th year; I lived
with Ethan Allen one year, and was living
with him at the time of his death; I think
it was in March that Allen and the negro
that worked for him went with his ox-team
after a load of hay, and when he was re
turning be was taken with a lit, and the
uegro had to hold him on the load, and
when they arrived at bis borne, the negro
took him off from thalJbd and carried hiiu
into the house on his sholder, and he died
the next day at 9 o'clock, A. M. I attend
ed his funeral and the militia were out to
bury him. They (the militia) went across
the river to Winooski, and A I leu's brother
rolled out a barrel of rum and tapped it for
them. They then formed aud marched over
to the river to the burying ground on the
hill near Winooski Falls, in Burlington,
and buried bim in the northwest corner of
the burying ground, as it vas then. I was
at the grave of Allen occasionally after
that, and there was a plank laid on his
grave with "l-Jthttn A Urn' cut into the

I do not know anything about the crave
stones. 1 do not think there was auy thing
uncommon about the depth of the grave.

"Fitcuixo In." The greatest of all nui
sances, to a respectable editor, are those
small minded gentry who believe that the
mission of of a journal is not to disseminate
uews, aid buyers and sellers by advertise
ments, but to be perpetually "pitching in"
to this or that individual. Such characters
are generally very loud and talkative speci
mens of the citti irritable, prone to hint
that they could carry on a journal, with all
its difficult details, much better than any
body else in the couctry; that they would
stir np things," and that their firm belief
is, that all a paper needs is pepper" to
make it excellent. We can imagine as we
write that we even now bear the familiar
accents, "Now I just want you to write an
article and give so and so fits," for men of
this description are gifted with a degree of
assurance which respects no duty or dignity
and suffers the possessor to believe that his
miserable fancies will actually receive con
sideration. Aud vet we can say with truth
that we never met with one of these' advo
cates for indiscriminate "pepper" and abuse,
who would not writhe with agony at the
faintest allusions to himself in tve which
fell short of ilattcrv, or who was not in fact
a coward. Men who put faith in abuse as
a necessary element in jnnrnalfsm, who taka
no interest in articles wnicu are not in some
way personal, and relish no "fun" unless it
cuts, are invariably vulgar and selfish, just
in proportion to the degree iu which snch
tastes prevail with them. It is melancholy,
to see the number of them in every commu
nity, and the degree to which they often
succeed in inspiring writers for the press
with their own spirit.
A Good IIcmored Rebuke. A certain
good natured old farmer preserved his con
stant good nature, let wnat would turn np.
One day wbila the black tongue prevailed,
he was told that ouc ot his red oxen was
dead.
"Is he," said the old man, "well, he was
always a breechy old cuss. Take off his
bide and take it down to Fletcher s; it will
bring the cash."
Iu an hour of two the man came back
with the news that "line back" and bis mate
were both dead.
"Are they?" said the old man, "well, I
took them from B to save a bad debt,
1 never expected to get. It is lucky that it
aint the brindles. Take the hides down to
Fletcher's; they will be as good as cash."
In about an hour the man came back to
inform him that the nigh brindle was dead
"Is he?" said the old man," "well, he was
a very old ox. Take off his hide, and take
it down to Fletcher's; its worth more than
either of the others."
Hereupon his wife, taking upon herself
the office of Liliphaz, reprimanded ber bus
band severely, aud asked him if he was aware
that his loss was a ludgment from heaven
for his wickedues8.i
"It isr said the old man; "well, if they
take the judgment in cattle, it i3 the easiest
way I can pay them."
Life. Life is no speculative venture with
those who feel its value and duties. It has
a deeper purpose, and its path becomes dis
tiuct and easy in proportion as it is earnest
ly and faithfully pursued. The rndest or the
most refined pursuit, if adapted to the wants
and capacities of the pursuer, has a truth, a
beauty and a satisfaction. All ships on the
ocean are not steamers or packets, but all
freigtitrbearers, fitted to their tasks, and the
smallest shallop nobly fulfills its mission,
while it pushes on towards its destined port,
nor shifts its course because larger crafts
career to the points of the compass. Let
man right himself on the ocean of time. Let
him learn whether he is by nature a shallop
or a ship a coaster or an ocean crosser;
and then, freighting himself according to his
capacity and tho market he should seek,
fling his sail to the breeze, riding with wind
and tide, if they go on his course, but beat
ing resolutely against them utliey cross bis
path. Have a well chosen aud defined pur
pose, aud pursue it faithfully, trusting in
God, and all will be well.
What Sort or an Animal a "Snob" is.
Thackeray thus daguerreotypes this auiuial.
He is speaking of English society:
"A snob is that man or woman who are
always pretending before the world to be
something better especially rioiier or more
fashionable than they, are. It is one who
thinks bis owu position in life contemptible,
aud is always yearning aud striving to force
himself into oue above, without the educa
tion and characteristics which belong to it,
one who looks down upon, despises and
overrides his inferior?, or even equals of his
owu standing, and is ever ready to worship,
fawn upon aud (latter a rich or titled man,
not because be is a good man, a wise man,
or a Christian man; but he has the luck to
be rich or consequential." ' 4
Who w'a9 "Jcnics." Col. Benton, in his
"Thirty Years' Yiew" abridgement, gives
his opinion of who was the " Man iu the
Iron Mask," in the following terse and
smooth style:
" When the anthor of this abridgement
(says Col. Benton.) was ten years old,
which was in the last decade " borrowing
Livy's division of time in the expression,)
of the last century, and before enlightened
writers had thrown darkness on the author
ship of Juuius, it was well conceded that
there was but one man in England, or the
world, who united in himself all the quali
ties of head, heart and temper, all the inci
dents of political aud persoual life, which
the writing of those letters required; but
one man who had snch power to drive the
English language such knowledge of men
and things, such amplitude of information,
such lofty and daring spirit, such Induce
ment to publish his thoughts aud conceal
his name an oratorical fame already so
great as to set him above the assumption of
that of Junius, great as it was. ibat one
man was Lord Chatam, then old and out of
favor with the king and dominant parties;
relegated (by bis peerage) to that " Hos
pital of Incurables," the House of Lords,
whence no patriotic voice could reach the
Commons of England; retired to bis coun
try seat Hayes, aud all visitors stmt but;
discontented, despairing, restless, aud seeing
no way to reach the people but through
the press, aud by means of appeals; bold
to audacity, patriotic to temerity, and the
more impressive because shrouded in the
mystery of an unknown origin. So stood
Lord Chatham aud Junius in the latter
part of the century in which they lived,
convertible characters, identical iu per
son."
The Unfinished Moncmbstof tite Moth
er of Washington. ihe unbnisued monu
ment to Mary, the mother of Washington,
at Fredericksburg-. Ya.. is fast coinir to ru-
n, and is badly disfigured with bullet aud
shot marks, beiug used by the boys as a
tareet.
The monument appears to be about half
finished, and has remained in its preseut
condition for several years. The explana
tion of this being iu such a condition is
this; A New York widower, wealthy and
very vain of his wealth, was courting, a
few years ago, a young lady connected with
the Y ashingtoii family. A monument tqJ
tue mother ot asnmgion was at mat
time talked of, and the amorous widower,
to make a displav of riches and win the fa
vor of his lady love, claimed the privilege
of building it with his own resources. By
the expenditure of several thousand of dol
lars be raised it rapidly to its present height,
but be did not rise iu Miss C.'s favor so
briskly as his stone structure rose into the
air. In fact, she absolutely discarded him
a-;d then, as was to be expected, he indig
nantly refused to pay for the laying of an
other stone. Of course the structure, as
no one else saw fit to take hold of it, has
ever siace remained at just tue heignt it

Chronicle remarks that they are far more
destructive to the crops than the grasshop
pers, and though the latter insect has fre
quently made its appearance in that vicini
ty, this is the first advent of the huge cric k
ets which now literally cover the ground
for miles in the level country east of the
town, devouring everything which comes in
their way, that is not large enough to resist
their attacks, frequently ereu eating other
insects. They are of the same species as
those in the Snako river country which are
used as food by the Diggers. The Indians
about Yreka have recently gathered many
bushels of them ic Shasta Yalley for the
same purpose. A person from Table Rock
says that the crickets have attacked his
barlev fields and that he fears his own crops
and all in the vicinity, will be cutircly de
stroyed.

found a kitten, which I brought home for a
plaything for my two children. To prevent
any dispute about the ownership of puss, I

of the kitten should be mine, that the body
should be the baby's, and Eddie, the eldest
but only three years should be the sole
proprietor of the long ana ucaumut tail
Eddie rather obiectcd at first to this divis
ion, as nutting: him off with an extremely
small share of tho animal, but soon became
reconciled to the division, and quite proud
of his ownership iu the graceful terminus of
the kitten. Oue dnv. soon after, I heard
the poor puss making a dreadful mewing,
and I called out to Eddie: "lhere, my son,
vou are hurtintr my part of the kitten, I
heard ber cry." "No. I didn't, mother; I
