In good time, There came to us a child, the minature Of her on whose dear breast my babyhood Was nursed and cradled; and iny happy heart, Charged with a double tenderness, received And blessed the precious gift. Another fount Of human lore gurgled to meet my lips, Another store of good, at rich and pure, In its own kind, as that from which I drank, Was thus discovered to my taste, and I Feasted upon its fulness. " With the gift That brimmed my cup of joy, there came a grace To her who bore it of fresh loreliness, If I had loved the maiden and the bride, The mother, through whose pain my heart had won Its new poisession, fastened to my heart With a new sympathy. Whatever drass Our months of intimacy had betrayed Within her character, was purged away, And she was left pure gold. Say, I should pay, Whatever goodness had not been revealed Through the relation of her heart to mire As loving maid and mistress, found the light Through her maternity. A heavenly change Passed o'er her soul, and o'er her palid face, As if the uuioiscious yearning of a life Had found full satisfaction in the birth Of the new being. Her long weariness Was but a trance of peace and gratitude ; And as she lay her babe upon her breast Her eyelids closed I could but feel that heaven, Should it hold H the good of which she dreamed, Had little more for her." A Page for the Young. MARGERY. The bells of the village church had been ringing sweet and clear, and the sound was borne on the summer air miles away, making solemn mu sic, which was very pleasant to a little lonely heart. On the steps of the farm-house, watching the shadows, or looking; now and then with a wishful glance toward the bright sky, sat Margery. Margery who? 4 That was all, she had no other name she said, when strangers questioned her. Farmer James had found her one wintry night on a iiow2rift by the road side She waswariay wrapped and sheltered from the storm. Sever al changes of clothing, a sum of motiey, a paper on which was written Margery.' were in a -basket near. ' Site had been kept by the farmer's , ! wife, wkj (tpcd soce day to be re warded, and who at first built many air-castles, which had for their foun dation the coming of Margery's rich friends. She was sure they were rich she said, for the child' clothing was fine and soft, wtd the lace opon tho Tittle dresses was worth more than her best Sunday gown. But as years passed and these un known persons gave no sign, she grew weary of her charge, and by degrees indifference gave way to act ual unkitidness. Poor little Margery, what had she- done, and why wag she so unlike the j happy children whoai she sometimes met She often wondered, as she did that Sunday afternoon, sitting in the sunshine, how many miles off, heaven was, and whether she could walk there if she tried? 44 1 wish I knew which road to take, and had somebody to go with mt, for I am so tired of 4i"vwtg here!'' Little children who, with folded hand, say 41 Now 1 lay me down to sleep," who are laid to rest by loving hands, with mothers' good night kisses on their lips little happy ' children how blest aro you who j who had buried her own little daugh read wonderingly of this child, whose j ter was sitting by the child at the life was so unlike your own! Margery had been taken once by a kind neighbor with her children, to the village Sunday school. There she heard, for the first time of a beau tiful place called heaven, the home of God and bis angels. The good old minister was talking of Jesus, of the little ones whom he had blest while on earth, whom he still loved in heaven, where after death good chil dren would go to bo shining 3Dgels in the sky. Margery went home like one in a happy dream. She scarcely heard the scolding words that Mrs. James poured out like a torrent. She should not always have to be scolded and beaten. She should not always be tired and lonely. There was some -one who would love her, if she only could reach him; there was a beautiful home If she only knew the way mere. She kept tho sweet thoughts io her littlo sad heart; dreamed of them wheo. she slept, aud took comfort in them as siio went apoo her errands day by day, or tended the fretful child whose mother had so little pity for her desolation. One morning when the ba?y dame seemed to be in an unwonted mood, more gentle than she remembered to have seen her, Margery .ook cour age and ventured to ask information on the subject that had occupied 80 many of her thoughts. ' If you please ma'am hoir. far is it to heaTeti?'' The astonished woman dropped her iron, putting in danger thereby her good man's Sunday linen. " What put that icto your head I'd like to know?" Poor frightened Margery, for once her anxiety to hear something of the blissful home she was deter, mined to seek, gave her courage. 44 1 heard the minister talk about God in heaven, and I thought if it wasn't too far and I could find tho way I'd like to get there." 44 Well, I never," said Mrs. James, and turning fiercely upon the child, 44 Do you think its a J)lat;e for the like of ycu because, if you do you're mistaken, I can tell you. Try to get there indeed! I think you may try! Now just do you go and shell them peas, and don't let me hear you talk such foolishness again!'' So tho child went out once more into the shadow that had so long been like a pall on her heart, and the great hope that had been as a sunny gleam for a little while, suddenly Hided out of her yearning heart. But the longing was still there. Margery had never been taught a prayer; she did not know that God could read her every thought aud wish; that his eye of love was always watching over her; if she had, she would not have fallen asleep so often, with her cheek wet with tears, or have looked around on the meadows, and up iuto the sky as then, with such a hungry feeling for love and kind ness. She was alone, as she had often been Sabbath days; no mother's loving fingers fashioned damy robe for Margery: 44 she ought to be thank fal" Mrs. James told her, 44 to have ! such decent clothes, it wasn't every ! one who would give them to her but lor her part, she couldn't abide j rags!"' Tho decent clothes, however, made so poor n show that she did not j choose to exhibit the child who wore them, to gossiping ncitgWjers. So the little girl staid quietly at home, alone, as I said before, except that 44 Watch," the house dog, mov ed lazily after her when she walked about, and sometimes rubbed his cold nose against her hand, and wagged his tail, A3 much as to say, 44 Don't fret, here is one friend for you-!'' And the great Friend above all others, whom Mfcrgery did not know, looked down upon the lonely child, and saw how desolate her young life was. So it was, that bat a few more Sabbaths found her in the ac customed place npon the doorstep, or in the meadow, or looking -oat .it night, from her littlo window, at the: shining stars. There came a time, when a dread ful fever took from many homes, one and at3tkcr, who were sadly missed, and its fatal touch was laid on Mar gery, for whom no one cared on earth, but who was .Just as precious in God's sight, as those whose graves were wet w'uh many tears. The bright spirits whom we can not see, though they aro often near, watched over Margery A neighbor last, and thinking she asked for water took it to her- 44 Isu't it beautiful, beautiful'' said the little one, 44 1 shall get to heaven after all, they've como to show me the way! 44 Isn't it beautiful?" and with a smile on her lips, and a EgHt in her eyes that made her face gloriously fair, the sou! of little Margery was borne up to the Beautiful Land, and the songs of the angeii weleoaied her, where she could never be sad nor lonely any more! Love Sickness, A correspondent of the Knickerbocker says: It is my duty to impress on you ifte certain fact that one half of our young people lose their senses when they lose their hearts. One of our party has al ready written five letters to his lady love, and he goes about groaning and sighing in a most pitiable manner. He has no appetite, ncd sleeps at the top of the house, close to the moon, lie cannot stand by one of the col umns of the piazza without putting his arm around its waist, and I caught him kissing an apple to day because it had red cheeks. Ask yoar neighbor to subscribe for the ETZErsiSE. Tht Uajrward 9Iin. A correspondent of the Bulletin lately vis ted Sutter creek, where Hay ward's celebrated mine is situa. ted. Readers have all heard of the wonderful riches of this mine, and perhaps also of the more wonderful perseverance of its proprietor, who for years worked against discourage ments and disaster, until his san guine anticipations were realized, and he tapped the golden stream which has since flowed so liberally. Once and again, we are told, he seemed to have exhausted all his resources, but with indomitable nerseveranco he pushed the enterprise forward, and wealth crowned his efforts. And this some people call good luck. It is the working out of the proverb of the wiseman, 44 The hand of the dili gent maketh rich," with a Yankee commentary, 44 Never say die." That unforttrnaVe Englishman who in Grass Valley committed suicide and destroyed his family with him self, because his mining schemes had been unsuccessful, had only to put one blast more iuto his tunnel, and he would have reached the lead and triumphed but he hadn't the pluck. Let every man, whatever bo his bus iness, pnt in one more blast before he draws trigger ou his own brain. We are told that Hay ward is about to turn his mine into a joint stock com pany. We think he will manage it best himself. We have an old proverb : F'or he that by the plow would thrive, Himself must either hold or drite. From the unpublished poem of mine, says the writer I quote again : Who would from mines hiw pockets fill, Himself must pick, or run the mill. . -- One of those strange phenomena which are observed occasionally in nature, says the Stockton Independ ent, was noticed Thursday night aboard the Julia. In coming up the Bay, in deep and apparently still water, the vessel commenced rocking to and fro, bringing her gunwale nearly under the surface. So violent and so undulating was the motion fur a minute or so, that passengers could hardly keep on their feet. The Tulare, a short distance astern, ob served the motion of tho Jala, and the consternation on board, but ci perienced nothing unusual herself. The occurrence is of so extraordinary nature, and so unaccountable, that unless some plausible explanation could be given, one might almost doubt the evidence of tho senses of those who violate strange freak of the waters. Is the veritable sea-serN pent n denizen of the inland Califor nia waters', or was this a subterranean earthquake? m The Grass Valley Xational says that John Williams, a Cornishman who stole quartz specimens from tho Bush Crctk quant mine, and who was convicted therefor in Sierra couuty, wa released on bail on ac count of some flaw in the indictment, aud will await the action of the next Grand Jury. This -case illustrates some of the beauties and consistencies of common law, to wit: The prison er testifies that Ik stole tho quartz, told where and how ho get it, which all went to prove that he did not steal anything. The law is that real estate cannot be stolen, and the counsel for the prisoner claimed that the quartz'; was real esttte if taken from the ledge and carried away im mediately. The excitement in the newly discovered gold asd silver mines in Industry, Me., increases, and the promising land is being rapidly ses cured by speculators, to one of whom is granted, in theSanguage of a recent deed, 44 one sixteenth of all the min ing interest in roy farm, with the privilege of darning, flowing, digging, blowing, aud raising the devil in general." Rev. Wm. W. Cooke, who has just been appointed an assistant min ister of Trinity Church, New York, is well known as one of the finest tenors in that city. The senior as sistant minister receives 7,000 per annum, with an extra allowance of $2,000 per annum. The junior as sistants, $4,000. The salaries of all the ministers of Trinity have lately been advanced. The Washington Star has been sold by its proprietors to three young inea two of them now io the estab lishmentfor $100,000, one third each. That transfer was to be made November 1st. The net carnlacs of the concern for ten years range from 820,000 to $40,000 per aonum. The gold mines for the colony of Victoria, yielded from January 1st to July 1st, of this year, $15,000,. 000 It contains ?3,378 miners. Of these IOjOQO are Chinamen. Can't Fill the Order, A friend who resides in the At lantic States wishes u, says tho Ad vocate, to send him a sample of the mammoth trees of California. He asks for a section of one of the largest ten or twelve feet, or less, in length, and the full size of the trunk. Let us see if the order can be filled: Six muscular men can fell a giant, using immense augurs to cut him down. It will require from twelve to fifteen days to make him bite the dust. Its huge body, nearly four hundred feet long, lies level on the earth. As it is over thirty feet in diameter, its upper surface is about equal ;n height to the walls of a three story business house. A cross-cut saw fifty feet in length would proba bly do to saw off a section of the fal len tree, but it would require a vast deal of scafolding and muscular force to accomplish the ta.sk. The forest of giants is two hundred miles from the ocean, and there 1m not a truck in America suited to carry this sawlog out of the moun tains; and were it on tho wharf at San Francisco, there is not a vessel on the Pacific that would find it con venient to stow away such a block of wood. A few years ago, an enterprising gentleman succeeded in taking a sec tion of the bark from one of those trees a large one which is known as the 44 Father of the Forest." He took it to New York and placed it on exhibition. More than this canuot be done. We have stood in those forests and gazed on those taplings, and we have a just idea as to their immense and frightful proportions. But one who has only seen the scrub growths of the Atlantic States can form no just conception of a full grown tree, such as the Pacific slope only produces. lu a short tke the railroad will be completed, and then our eastern friends can come over and see on what a grand scale this portion of the world has been constructed. It would be a pleasure to send Friend J., a chip or two of oar tree, bist it is not convenient. Artless Saiir-Licur. One of the sweetest incidents, says an exchange, which we have notfced for many a day and one which shows the effect of early training, assisted by a pure and undefined imagination has just fallen under our observation. It is thns Telatcd: A lady visited New York City and saw on the sidewalk a ragged cold and hungry little girl, gazing wishfully at some of the cakes in a shop-window. She stopped, and taking tho little one by the hand, led her into the store. Though she was aware that bread might be better for the cold child thau cake, yet she desired to gratify the shivering and forlorn one, she bought and give her the cake she wanted. She then took her to another place, where she pro cured her a shawl, aud other articles of comfort. The grateful little crea ture looked the benevolent lady full in tho face, and with artless simplicity said, 44 Ate you God's wife?'' Did the most eloquent speaker ever em ploy words to a better advantage? Alarming rumors are in circula tion ? Antwerp as to the critical state oJ tho dykes in Holland. It is asserted that the weirage of the eastern branch of tho Scheldt, in al tering the course of the river, has acted in a disastrous manner on the dykes. They are menaced at sever al points, and they must all be strengthened, an immense labor, which will cost millions, and perhaps cannot b finished iu tinns to prevent a disaster. Colonel Austin, of Mississippi, made a speech in Representatives' Hall of the Tennessee Capitol, on the 1st instant, and undoubtedly rep resented Southern Democratic eeuti merits when he said that the only means of restoring peace to the coun try was the enfranchisement of all whites and the ro-eirslavement of all blacks.

A Christmas party will be given by L. Dillcr Esq., at the Court House in this city, on the veing of the 25th. An Amailag Story. A green hoosier, who had followed a bacon wagon from Tennessee, found himself for the first time in Augusta, Georgia, and in pursuit of a fresh supply of 44tangleleg whisky." He slowly as a coon approaching a trap, entered a highly decorated sa loon, and after mucri misgiving and hesitation, the premonitory chills of a 41 big skeer" chasing each other in rapid succession down his back, he modestly ventured to ask the attend ant to fill his jug. While this was being done he chanced to raise his head, and his eye fell on a three foot by seven mirror behind tho counter, in which he was fairly represented; but he did not begin to known him self. Behind him, on the wall, was j a fine large painting of a royal Den- gal tiger, in attitude ready to spring forward. He hstartly dodged aside, shouting as he went: 4- Run, you cussed infe'nal ugly fool, thar's a striped boar cat as big as a yearling, fixing to kiver you!" Pale and trembling he strode w here he bar-keep was filling his jug. 44 Say, gin me that jug just as it is, empty or full, and run and shut that door, (pointing to the mirror.) durn quick, cf you don't want your glass truck ground up, and your harslet tore outer you, for thars the devil to pay in that ar back room!'' Seeing the whisky-seller rather slow in his motions to suit his hurry, he put for the street with his eyes stuck out and hair erect saying: 44 Durned ef that feller don't have sassidgo meat to sell oon, ef his lifs spared. Well, I've seen cats, hearn of cats, wild cats, sow cats, but, oh, my, sich a cat!" Here he stole a suspicious look back at the house and shook and scratched his head. 44 1 wonder if that breed of hos cats am pJ-eflty around her? Say, mister, how fur is it to theTenessee line?" He beat the wagon back to Ten essee six days, and the United States mail two. And he is telling his grand children to-night about the 4 orful Irass cats thy keep runin round loose in Augusta, as big as yearlins," and ventures an opinion how they procure 4'thar yearthen war" and :4sassidge" meat by 44 skarin smart folks away from thar jugs and lettin the cats chop up the darned fools," and wonders how Augusta manages to hold her own in popula tion, considering the latitude the 44 boss cats" have. Poultry that have fetd the range of grain fields are in good condition for early fattening for market. Con fine and feed them liberally and al low plenty of water with ashes or dust to wallow in. Feed well while the warm weather cowtisaes, as they will fatten much faster and eat less grain than when it becomes cold. Promote the laying of bens that are shut up, by feeding .with scraps of refuse meat. Fowls eat a variety of food : all kinds of grain and seeds, and preparations made for them ; also most sorts of vegetables, raw or cooked, and they aro fond of a cer. tain qnantity of animal food ; insects worms, grub9 aud maggots they search for witli avidity. Potatoes form one of the most economical ar tides of food; but it is cssen tial not only that these should be boiled or steamed, but that they should be given warm, as hens do not relish 44 cold taters." In most houses there are many well known scraps and refuse that will serve fowl, such as crumbs of bread, fragments of pies and puddsngR, aad eveij bits of meat and fish. MiintI see you home from meetiu' Peggy?" 44 No you shan't du no sich thing, I'm otherwise en gagea." well l swan, i guess you've missed it this time, for I've got my pockets chuck full of ginger bread." 44 You may take my arm, Jonathan." Paul could preach two whole years in his owu hired house in pagan Home. But papal Home forbids the Protestant follower of the Apostle to worship God with bis friends in his own hired hou.e. Pagan Horn was more tolerant in Paul's day, than papal Home in oars. . It is erceodiogly important that every yoang man wlto expects to be at farmer, and, every young lady who hopes to be a farmers wife, be well and thoroughly educated in the sci ence of agriculture. It will at oce add immensely to the probabilities of success, ami be a constant source of moral and iuttllcctual improvement. Sir.Mwl( Man" Men who with scanty early ad vantages have made their own - way to fortune or high position, are en titled to all credit and respect for0 the energy, perseverance anD self denial by which they have attained success. There aro many such in the United States, who are amSmr our best and most public npiriton citizens. In almost every sphere of life, at the bar, in the pulpit, in tho professors chair, in high ofDcesQof trust and responsibility, as well as at industrial head of great commercial and industrial enterprise", are to b found men who, starting without ed ucation or friends, have sturdily fought their own battle in life until the struggle ended in victory. Wo repeat it, such men are worthy of all honor. And yet it is possible that the disposition to admire 44 self msde men" may be carried too far, especf. ally when the very faults and defi ciencies which aro almost inevitablo in individuals who have had such an experience as theirs, are cited as vir tues and excellencies, and made tho theme of unstinted praise. There have been men of this description, 0 nor are such specimens rare in our country, who have succeeded in en tirely emancipating themselves frorfi the prejudices which are the natural result of their experiences. Hut it is safe to say that the majority of persons who have made their own way without help who have en dured self denial and privation who lived coarsely, aud enjoyed few of the comforts of iife until after a long struggle they began to reap the re wards of their exertions it is safo to say that the majority of such aro prone to narrow utilitarianism iu their views, a&d exclusive devotion to purely practical ends aud purely material success, a contempt, for lib eral culture and for the graces and ornaments of life, which are very far from being traits to be admired or praised. Tlieir own early eudurano of the discipline of poverty cause them to regard such discipline at necessary or beneficial for all; their own success, ocheived without help or early advantages, has impressed them with the idea that no help ?hou!d be extended to the young man setting out in his career, and that education is a hindrance rather tkaa a benefit in the 6tnurgle for practical success. Because they 44 earned their first shilling," and are proud of it, and lovo to talk about it, they are persuaded that it would be well for every boy to be compelled to do it; because they have 44 succeeded in life," with very little schooling," they have come to despise the high er branches of education, and to speak of 44 book learning1 with utter contempt. Such men arc, neverthe less, useful citieen, despite the rmr rowness of their views. Let us hon or them for their good -qualities, but avoid the infectiou of their hardneM and illiberal utilitarianism; for io fact, the snobbishness that reveals itscli in the worship of wealth is not a whit more despicable thaw the grovelling worldlirress that -accepts the 44 self made man" as the highest ideal of an American citizen. A II CHAN BODI' AJiDTIIZ HoCf.SOr tiik Day. Stat yajrself at a tabic. Attach a pice of metal (sny a shill ing) to a thread. Having placed your elbow on the table, hold tho thread between the points of the thumb and forefinger, and allow tho shilling to hang in the centre of a glass tumbler; the pulse will imme diately cause the shilling to vibrate like a pendulum, and tho vibrations will increase until the shilling strike the sides of the glass ; and suppose the time of experiment be the hour of seven or half-past .seven, the pen, dulum will strike the glass seven -times and then lose its momentum and return to the centre. If you hold the thread a suSicient length of time the effect will be repeated ; but not until a suflkieiit space til time baa elapsed to convince you that the perittvent h complete. We need net add that the thread must be held uPa q steady hand, otherwise the vibrating motion will be counteracted. At whatever hour of the day or night titc experiment is made, the coinci dence will be tho same. Don'r Dkink. No man is safe who Las once formed the habit of looking to driuk for solace, cheerful ness, or comfort. While the world goes well they will likely be temper ate, but the habit is built, tho rail road to destruction is ready for use, the rails are laid down, and the sta tion bouses erected; and the traia m on the line waiting only for the loco motive.
