T.— Come, love, shall we be wandering ' 

 The flowers ihcir swreii arc squandering, 



The idle gale« adown the valc», 

 Are lingering and pondering. 



P. — O, whal a charming man you be, 



How fancilul, 1 van, you be,

Pkturei nf Father and Son. — An old woman, 

 who Hliowcd the lioiise nnil pictures at Towccstcr, 

 expresses liefself in these reiiinrkublc words :- 

 "That is Sir Robert Fanner; lie lived in tl 

 fountry, took care of lii.s estate, built this house, 

 and paid for it ; inanu;.'cil well, khvciI money, and 

 dieil rich. — Thai is his son ; he was made a lord, 

 took a place at court, spent his estate, and died a 

 beggar." 



Curious Ltnartf. — One I'liilip Jtusqtict, who 

 lately died at Anisterdain, has bequeathed a leifn- 

 r.jr lo ft certain Unievolont Society, on condition 

 that two fruit trei-s shall be planted over his (,'rave, 

 and that ihc fruit sliall be publicly Hold at auction 

 every year, in order to prove that tlio reoeptiicles 

 of the deail may be rendered u^'l■ful and l;i;ncfi- 

 c«al to the living.

at Madrid, the tiauglilor of a grandee of tbo first 

 class, Is entirely blind. She takes part at the 

 halls, in the ipiadrillcs, and wolt/es, with remarka- 

 ble spirit anil accuracy. An American traveller 

 dwells upon her beauty ami intelligence, and ob- 

 serves — " her eyes do not bear testimony lo their 

 own imperfection ; they have only a pensive cast, 

 which they seem to borrow from their half closed 

 litis and silken lushes J^'at. Cazelle. 



THE GLASS BLOWl^R A.NUDAM IJUM.DER; 

 Or, Ruin wilt not protect lithtr from Jlnit or Cold. 

 The Class Blower. — At a Temprriuioe meeting 

 recently held in the vicinity of this city, a respect- 

 able gla.us blower ob.served, that a year or two 

 since, in a very hot day, his fellow workmen de- 

 termineil to keep tip work in spite of the heat, by 

 the help of ardent spirits, lie f xpressed his sur- 

 prise that they should think of drinking rum in 

 such weather ; and they were etpially surprised 

 that he should think of working without it. The 

 exiieriment was tried, " and," said the glass blow- 

 er, "during the day, 1 saw one of the ruin drink- 

 ers fall at my feet, and he was a corpse in four 

 hours ; another fell and died in twelve hours ; 

 four or five were carried out of the glass house, 

 and were with difliculty recovered to health, and 

 of the rest of the rum drinkers, every man gave 

 out and quit work. I myself was uninjured." 



The Dam Builder. — A corfcspondcnt informs 

 us, that a short time since, in building a large 

 dam across the Shetuoket river, not far from Nor- 

 wich Landing, Conn, about 100 men were em- 

 ployed, who were under the necessity of standing 

 for many days during the hours of labor with 

 their bodies half covered with cold fresh water ; 

 and the whole work was finished without the use 

 of a drop of ardent spirit. Instead of this, the 

 men were freely supplied with hop beer, coflTee, 

 and other niilil drinks ; and so entirely were 

 lliey ))leastd with the result of the e.\pcriinent, 

 that when a Society was about to be formed at 

 the Lnndintr, these men marched down in n body, 

 witli their foreman at the head, to join the Tem- 

 perate Society. — .V, Y. Observer. 



A Frenchman assured one of our friends that 

 his countrymen never buy an article at the .sel- 

 ler's first price. " For instance," said he, " one 

 of them came into my store the other day, and 

 priced a ])air of .«ilver buckles. I asked seven 

 dollars. ' Eleven ! I give you nine." ' Seven is 

 the ])rice, .sir, not eleven.' 'Seven! I give you 

 five !'" — Philad. Chronicle.

The Differtnce. — The Turks are called Infidc 

 and .\tlieists, Init they attribute their successes 

 the tiivor of Almighty God. — The Russians 

 professed Christians, but they supplicate the blei 

 ing of the God of H'ar. 



Seven kegs of powder were exploded at ol 

 blast on that section of the Ohio and Chesnpeal 

 Canal of which I'armenio Adams is contractor, 

 few days since. From eight hundred to a llio 

 Hand tons of solid rock were thrown up by tl 

 explosion.

Remarkable Circumstance. — Within a few days 

 Mr lliiskell lost a cow in consequence of the bile 

 of a snake — and what is very remarkable, several 

 of his hogs that had eaten of her carcase, have 

 also died from the eflbcls of the poison. We 

 communicate the fact for the bentfit of farimr.". 

 [By the way, poke-root, boilcil soft, and applied 

 as a poultice, is a sure remedy fiir Ihe bilo of a 

 snake. Wc published this remedy ihrco or fimr 

 years ago, and have lind the satisfaction to Icorn 

 that it saved the lifit of a valnalilc horse for a stili- 

 .scribcr. We have also received an ackiiowliil;,'- 

 ment of its eflicacy through a IVnnsylvaiiin pa- 

 per. Il was matiu kiiuwn to us as a cure used by 

 the Indians in Missouri. — Staunton Spectator.
