EARTH'S NOBLEMEN.
■' I'm of that band that till the land
A And draw from earth her store ;"
Right happy indeed is the life we load,
: While" onr days are passing o'er.
Many there are ia. rich8s far
'■i<4 Surpassing the farmer's parse,
While other pursuits may yield more fruits,
Yet oftear produce mnoh" worso.
We effty not the statesman's lot,
Still clamoring for his class,
Nor hi* that fights for glory's rights,
At some redoubted pass.
No risk have we for boisterous sea,
No fears lest tempests whelms
All-we possess without redress,
While laboring at the helm.
The fruitful fields their bounties yield
A rich reward for toil;
Be ours the trade to ply the spade,
And deeply plough the soil,
! >-We walk abroad o"er carpet sod,
. . And flow'rets kiss our feet,
"Whose bdors rise to scent the skies—
i- A tribute pure and meet.
' To all we give the means to live,
As brother shares with brother,
And thus fulfil the holy will
, That bids us love each other.
Oh* life seonre from guile, and pure,
To thee my love cling ever j
With all its might and fond delight
To change from thee, no, neve? !
PLEASANT VARIETIES-
Joseph,' " said a pedagogue to a boy, who came
7 too jate one d^y> where have you been for the
".,1*51I hour'?"
"Nowhere, meekly replied Joe.
. «r "Nowhere!" fiercely echoed the teaoher, who
was wont to swagger about bis little kingdom
like a Gulliver in lilliput, "where is that?"
'•I don't know," replied Joe, as he scratched
his head, and locked down upon the floor—" I
guess it ain't anywhere.',
"And what were jrou doing there 1" demand-
ed the pedagogue, again scowling still more fir-
•cely.
-'I wan t doing anything! I had nothing to
'do, and to 1 went noichere /"
This last piece of Jogic knocked away all the
pedagogue's gravity, and amid a general tit-
tering of '-gals" and boys, Joe was told to take
his seat.
- An Irishman called on a lady and gentleman,
m%hose employ he was, for the purpose of ge-
tine some tea and tobacco.
"I had a drame last night, your honor," said
he to the gentleman.
"What was it, Pat?"
"Why, I drained that yer honor made me a
present of a plug of tobaccy. and her ladyship
there—heaven bless her!—gave mo some tay for
the good wife."
"Ah* Pat, dreams go by contraries, you know."
"Faith, and they may be that," said Pat,
without the least hesitation, "so her ladyship
. is to give the tobaccy and his honor the tay!"
Assise Too Much.—A young couple were sit-
ting together in a romantic spot with birds and
flowers about them, when the following dialogue
suSued:
"My ^ear, if the sacrifice of my life would
please thee, most willingly would I lay it at
thy fret."
•Oh, sir, you are too kind! But it just re-
« winds me that I wish you'd stop using tabacco."
. "Can't think ofit. -It's a habit to whioh I am
wedded.* "
"Very weH sir, since this is the way you
jay down your life for me, and as you are al-
ready wedded to tabacco, I'll take good care
you are never wedded to me, as it would b3 bi-
gamy." * ' =*
«. Auti-Temperance Remedy.—We presume
the most rabid teetotaller would not object to
the application of the vinous poison in the
manner following, as described by a Paris jour-
nal:
"Mr. H.. who dwells in the country, on
awaking in the night heard some one attemp-
ting to force the blind of his parlor window.
Mr. H. was alone and unarmed, but his pre-
sence of mind did not forsake him. He took a
bottle of ohampagne, cut the wire, retaining
the cork with Jiis thumb, and calmly awitea
till the burglar, having forced the blind, intro-
• duced his head into the room, when Mr. H.
let the cork fly into his face. The report was
loud, and the burglar alarmed by it, and, sup-
posing the champagne which covered hig face
was his own blood, fell to the ground, crying
for mercy. Mr- H., after assuring himself
that the burglar was alone, sprang from the
window, bound him, carried him to the village,
and delivered him to a constable."
■ 1 _____________
PRECOCITY OF INTELLECT.
Cbatterton wrote all his beantiful things, ex-
• hausted all hie hopes of life, and saw nothing
better than death, at the. age of eighteen.
' Corns' and Byron died in their thirty-seventh
year, and, doubtless, the strength of their geni-
. as was over. Rafibelle, after filling the world
with divinefoeauty, perished also at thirty-seven;
Mosart earlier. These might have produced
still greater works. On the other hand, Hande
• was forty-eight before he gave the world "as-
surance of a man." Dryden came up to Lon-
don from jge^provinces, dressed in Norwich
drugget, somewhat above the age of thirty,
and did aoteven then know that he could write
a tingle line of poetry : yet what towering vig-
or ana swinging ease appeared all at once in
i.John.". Milton had, indeed, written
i" at twenty eight, but he was upwards
of fifty what he began hia great work. Cow.
per knew nqt his own might till he was far be-
yond thirty, and be "Task" was not written
till abftut hia fiftieth year. Sir Walter Scott
,w*e also upwards of thirty before he published
hia "Minstrelsy," and all his greatness was yet
to come.
MARRIED LIFE.
Julias Moeer gives tlia fallowing counsel,
from a wife and mother :
"I try to make myself and all around me ag-
reeable. It Will not do to leave a man no pains
to attract bim> or to appear before him with a
long fece. It is not so difficult-#s you think,
dear chjld, to behave to a husband so that he
shall remain forever in some measure a hus-
. band. I am an old woman, but yon can still
prilhat yon like : a word from you at the
rigjbt time will not fail of its effeota. What
need have you to play the suffering virtue.—
The tear of a loving girl, says an old .book, is
ffte the dew drop on the rose : bat that on the
cheek of A wife is a drop of poison to her hus-
band. Try to appear cheerful and contented
And your husband will be so : and when you
bajre made him bsppj, yon will become so, not
' in appcaranoe, but in reality*. The skill requi-
red m sot so great.
'Nothing flatters a man so much as the happi-
.seas of bis wife : be is slways proud of himself
as the source of it. As soon as- yoa are cheer-
io! yoa will be lively and alert, and every mo-
nest will afford yoa an opportunity to let fall
an{.*gri*ahia word. Your education, which
gjvea you an imaiense advantage, will greatly
aiaietjoa ; and your sensibilities will become
(lie Doblest gift that nature has bestowed on
joq+ alien it shows itself in affectionate assid-
uity, and stamps on every aetion a soft, kind.
And tender character, instead of wasting itself
fa secret repinings."
How to Pack Firkin Butter.—Mr. Josiah
King, before the Allegheny County Agricultur-
al Society, gave a few particulars of the man-
nar in which trkin butter was packed for use
1m the United Jia tes Navy. It was put in
small flikif,^ttae if poseible of bass wood, that
having been found preferable as freest from
psoKgneoee ;acid. The firkins were then plac-
ed in a eask, and brine so strong as to float an
egg poured over them. It is this way that but-
ter could eireamnavigate the globe, and yet be
frfsh at the end of that time.
