In the cool and quiet nooks, Uy the side of running brooks; lu Uie forest's tjreen letreat, With the branches overhead, Xestling at the old tree's feet, Chouse we there our mossy bed. On tall cliffs that woo the breeze, Where 110 human footstep presses, And no eye our beauty sees, There we wave our maiden, tresses. In the mouths of mountain eaves, Whence the rapid torrent gushes, Joying in the spray that laves, As it wildly foaming rushes. In the deft of frowning walls, On old ruins sad and hoarv, Filling up the ancient halls With u new and verdant glory. Where the shady banks are steepest, Sheltering from the sunlight's glow, Loving best the shadiest, deepest" Whore the tallest hedge-rows grow. lu the pleasant woodland glade.?, Where the antlered deer are straying, Lifting there our lof:y heads, " c There our mimic groves displaying. Then the treacherous marsh's bosom, Decking with our regal pride, There alone allowed to blossom, (Boon to ad our kin denied.) Though vre boast no lovely bloom, Thai can rival with the iiowers ; Though we fling no sweet, perfume; Thjugh no varied hue is ours Yet hath nature framed our race In a mold so light and fair, Tliat a beauty and a grace fehed we round us everywhere.

I tried to talk to some of my friends about the change in uie Kerman the State Senator from mv district haw-hawed rioht r "Dammed if that ain't a good 'uu!' said Kerman. ' Keeled hist term, boys?

I found it was no use saying I should never sell my vote again. I was wasting my breath nobody would believe me. For awhile I confess I was ' mulvathen d.' I didn't know w hat to do at all. At hist the idea struck me that, if the lobby wouldn't let me earn a clean reputation, Pi! make something out of Vm for a good cause by the dirthy one. So the next day there appeared in the Ar us.

'Men,' says the gnod Look, 'will praise thee when thou doest good to thyself;' and at that period of his life Mike Iteiliy got both praise and pudding without stint. The lobby could not rest con tent until it had got me safe on the simplest enterprise.

With no further words than a good-mot uing he was tinning toward the door. " ' One instant,' said I. ' Mr. Peg hammer, I see you mean to leave that check on Hie table.

" Ar;d Mr. IVghammer solemnly .. .:. i. 1 1 . . . . J wiiuuiew, making a lioise with his umbrella in the vain attempt to hide that he went down stairs chuckiing "The next day all the Albany pa pers published a card as follows: " 4 The Treasurer of the fund for erecting a home for Soldiers' Widows and OrphnnS begs to acknowledge the receipt of iflT.Viu for that object, contributed by Apollos l'eg hammer, Lsip' " Of course, Peghammer took the papers, but he only smiled at me, half reverentially, as he met me in the street. " When I tell you that I held in terviews similar to that just related with over a hundred lobby men be fore the last week of the session, and that the final decision of all the im portant bills had been fought till then, you will understand that 1 had a good fishtfid of greenbacks for all the widows and orphans, and that some thing over a hundred contributors to their fund were smiling in foolish expectation of my working ' the gi and pious dodge' as much for their interests as they supposed I had for my own. ' Imagine then the dismay with which these life-members of my ; chanty heard me calmly vote against, ! nine-tenths of the measures to whose support tl ic had meart to commit I me, and it) favor of half t! e improve- I uu-nts they had forced money on me ,' to stifle!

" ' Och boy, boy! IIow did yc kill ycrsellT groaned me father. " ' Dead :ts a herring!' sighed Con nrcssman Toom ey .

They went together to a doctor, and consulted as to whether there were not some way of shutting me up in an asvlum before 1 ruined myself. Finding no hope in that idea ihey re turned and it the most ancient Hi bernians e ver heard such a final jaw ing as. they game me, they're an ol der order than I took 'em for. At list, not wishing to stop longer than I could keep p rfectly good-'empercd, I told them I had provided for them to sleep together in my large double lied, and, without further parley, set off for a ballroom in DoVe street, where I knew they could not track rue. Before I got over to Congress Hall the next morning they had re turned to New York in disgust, Ieav- mg no memento save a paper in my father's hand, conspicuously waft-red over the clock-case, to say with a terse grandeur worthy t f Ossian: "'From the O'Reillys to their treacherous offspring Banishment' (with a big B.) "The last day of session, when I had voted for or agai 1st every thing on w hich I intended the world should ever have my legislative opinion, 1 withdrew the restriction upon visi tors, and allowed every body to en ter my room that asked for me.

In JIarrisburg, Pa., the old leather hose of some of the fire com panies was greased with it, and found to become almost as soft and flexible arui new leather, Leather belts for transmitting motion to macutnery wiM usually last from three to five years, according to the wear and tear they are exposed to ; when greased with castor oil they will last ten years or more, as they always remain flexible and do not crack. Beside this advantage, castor oil will prevent slipping, so that a belt three inches wide, impregnated with it, will be cental to a belt four and a half inches without castor oil. It is necessary, however, to wait twenty.-four hours, til! the oil has disappeared from the surface end penetrated the leather, otherwise the freshly greased surface will cause slipping. The rats and other vermin detest anything impreg nated with castor oil, and will not touch it another advantage. Extensive Hide. A prominent leather dealer of Philadelphia re cently sokl two sides of leather weigh ing one hundred and two pounds at twenty-five cents per pound, amount ing to $51 00 The leather is the hide of an extra fatted ox which was killed at one of the barbacues pre ceding the election of Gen. Harrison to the Presidency, about twenty-five years ago. It was originally tanned for belting purposes, but being a re markably good pattern hide, and extra well tanned, it was kept many years as a specimen. By frequent oilir.g it has been kept in a fine state of preservation, and is now as soft and pliable as when first tanned. The pureha-er will use it for pump valves in a mine in Pennsylvania. An Old Corporation. One of the tildest co-operative concerns in the country is the Nrtrthfield (Conn.) Knife Company, which was started by a number of striking workmen twenty years ago, with an investment of five dollars for each man, and has been carried on successfully in the same manner ever since. Though the beginning was small, the business and the capital of the corporation has increased, dividends have been de clared, the workmen capitalists have , ti n r i ? , bcCnmc We!1 ff' lf n0t Ilfky. and to-day the stock is above par, and the work of the Company holds a high rdace in the market. -1 . ; l .i.ii'.an..i'L.'e'w.M'uiLUis SHE TIIE OTIIEIl SIDE.-' Have you ever thought cf what a world of advice is contained in these few words? IIow much pain, and injustice, how much unnecessary un happiness might be avoided by atten tion to their meaning ! lit collect the story of the two knights w ho, sip proaching each other on opposite sides of a burnished shield supported on a column at a road crossing, ex claim in the same breath, the one on the beauty of this golden shield, the other on the excellent Workmanship of this silver shield. This slight dif ference led to a warm argument, end ing, as the story goes, in their placing each other " ho"s du combat." A good Samaritan passing by restored each to consciousness, and leading them around the innocent occasion of their combat, showed them that it faced gold one way and silver the other, and sent them on their way with a very favorable impression of the beauty of " See the other side." Rut to me these words say more, and I imagine they may be remem. bered with advantage in a variety eif circumstances. Briefly let me tell you some of the lessons. When you are sorely tempted ; when sin pre sents her fairest face to lead you from your path, hesitate, halt, and wait till you can calmly contemplate " the other side." Never, when you hear one propose a work to be accomplished, tell him " that is impossible ;" check the word on your lips. That which is to-dcy looked upon as impossible will to morrow be accomplished. Yea, tho' twenty attempts have failed, discour age not another, but recollect there may be still another point of view still another side, pjkich, being seen, the thing is done ! And one step farther: Are yoa in trouble ? Are you poor ? Do you find it hard work to get along, young man ? Do you "earn your bread by the sweat of your brow 1 ' Ihese may rot be misfortunes ! Trouble may serve to moderate your over estimation of worldly good, may turn you from " the things which are seen'' to the contemplation of " the things which are not seen,'' " the things which are eternal,'' and the baptism of trial work out your salva tion ! And why complain of pov erty ? Study the lives of these who stand out in bold relief for the good they have done the world. How many of them have owed their emi nence to the necessity which coni peded them in their youth to battle with the world and carve a path for themselves through all obstacles. No, don't complain ; but rather turn to account even the mountains in your path, and, you may rely upon it, if you do your best, you will say, It lean v:ell as ii was, when year liave rolled on and you have at length reached a point from which you can look back and " see the other side.'' Staktling Pictuke of Taxation. A committee of the New York Constitutional Convention on the finances of that Stale give a startling picture of the taxation to which her citizens are subjected. The debt of the State is set. down at $13,351, G?S.'2'2, and of cities, villages, coun ties, and towns at $So,000,0C0, mak ing a total of -$133,:35LG8S.2d. The proportion of the national indebted ness chargeable to New York is esti mated at $500,000,000, making the total of State nnd national indebted ness $033 331,082 20. The assessed valuation of property is S 1,030,-132, . 015. The annual taxation is estimated as follows : Taxation by the State ?12,?.0i,(V)0 00 Do. by counties and towns, S2, 0011,000 00 Do. by Cities and villages, is, 000,000 00 Internal revenue taxat ion ... .

Varnish for Rollers. Take one pint of beer or ale and add four oun ces of brown sugar to it, and you will have a mixture that will put a "face" on a roller that has lost its suction, and make it take in a short time af- ter applying it. llie mixture or "varnish" is to be npplied with a j sponge. Printers will understand it. j Tomato Wine. Take small rine tomatoes, pick off the stems, put them in a basket or tub, wash clean, then smash well and strain through a linen ! rag ; (a bushel will make five gallons pure;) then add two and a half to three pounds of good brown sugar to j each gal on, then put it into a cask ; and itt it lermenf as for raspberry wine. If two gallons of water be i added to each bushel of tomatoes the j wine will be as good. coAir'iicriciAi.. statistics. At the great council of raibad men held in Portland, Maine, Tasc July, measures were discussed look ing to th continuation of the No fib. ern Pacific Railroad as the great line of transportation between the two oceans. General Stuart, of the U. S. Engineer Corps, made a speech principally relative to the Niagara ship Ciinal. He said he had surveyed four different lines, varying from eight to sixteen miles in ftnth, at an estimate cost of $ 1 2,000.H)0. President Lincoln, lb whom he re ported his results, said that the canal could be built for one day's expenses of the war. He had carefully esti mated that the transportation of graiii through this canafcs would be eight cents cheaper per bushel than by any other route, and that a toll of only two cents a bushel would pay for tho canal in five yo?trs; and that wheat could be sent by it and this route to Portland, so as to open a profitable market in France and elsewhereori the Continent. At this juncture, tho meeting became so decjued in its de monstrations in this regard, that a resolution was introduced and passed unanimously, 'That the Niagara ship) canal ought and must be built; and Maine will not be backward in her Congressional delegation and other wise in aiding the good work along.' Gen. George P. Shepley made ii witty and forcible speech, in which he declared that the proposed road would result in a grruid cordon line of iron road that should be on tho same general parallel of latitude from Canton, across Asia, Europe and America, from the mundane Orient to the Occident. The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser notices the enormous grain trade of the West, and its rapid increase, ai follows : The unparalleled development cf the West in population and produc tion will, in the ensuing thirty years, give a trade between the West and New York equal to upward of $3,009, 000,000, to go through the canals when they shall be made sufficiently capacious for its accommodation. There will be this amount of trade, aside from that by the railways. A canal boat, of the size now navigating the Erie canal, two hundred and fifty tons burden, will carry as much hh one railway train of twenty-five cars. From seventy to eighty boats of th class can be laden with grain and dis patched eastward in each and e'verv twenty-four hours. If the canals should be ignored, and the entire business now done upon thern should be transferred to the railroads, it would require four freight trains to be dispatched daily by the Central, nud lorty by the Erie, m addition to the business they are now doing. Twenty-five years ago the grain trade of th.s city was between two and three million bushels annually. It now averages from fifty to sixty mil lion bushels iinmial'y, in addition to the Hour trade. The receipts of grain at this port iu one day last year was upward of three milbon bushels. The receipts of grain here on MondaP last, were upward of seven hundred thousand bushels, besides upward of a million of staves, and six millii feet of lumber. Estimating the re sults of the future by the past, the time is riot far distant when the grain trade at this point will be a hundred million bushels annifally. A move ment of sixty million bushels of grain by rail would require 0,657 trains of twenty-five cars each, eoual to seven teen trains daily, by each of the two roads during the entire navigation season of two hundred days, and yet the grain trade is scarcely one half the tonnage to be moved. Stamping Letters. A South Carolina paper says : An old negro woman, on Tuesday last, gave a let ter to the mail agent on the Carolina train, at a station near Branchvillc, and asked him to send it for her. Tiie agent said the letter roust bo stamped. The old woman became indignant, said the darkies were free, and " Whar de use of freein' de cul lud pussons cf you don't, free de let ters, too and finally yelled out, " IIow many stamps he want, eh ?" The mail ager.t said" three !" Down went the letter and down went tho old woman's heel. " Dar! dar ! dar! Dar's three stamps; dat enuff, eh ?" She was in angry earnest, and the bystanders were amused accordingly. The agent saw the joke, volunteered to pay the money stamp, ana mas doubly stamped, the letter was sent to its destination.
