Mimei/. — Bacon, tjin Eniilitiii philosopher, com- 

 pares money to iniinure. If siathered in heaps, it 

 'does no good, but on the contrary becomes offen- 

 I sive — .spread it, thoiiiih ever so thinly over the 

 ! surface of the earth, and it enriches the whole 

 ] country. 



I Thcrr^s no place like home. — Home can never 

 ' be transferred ! never repeated, in the experience 

 j of an individual. The place consecrated by pa- 

 rental love — by fhe innocence and sports of child- 

 I hood — by the first aBquaintance with nature — by 

 'the linkin<r of the heart to the visible crration. is 

 the only houie. There is a living; and a breathing 

 spirit infused into nuture — every familiar object 

 I has a history — the trees have tongues, and the 

 ail is vocal. There the vesture of decay does not 

 close in and control the noble functions of the 

 soul. It sees, and hears, and enjoys, without the 

 (ministry of gross mateiial substance.

 The harvest is bending o'*er valley and plnin, 

 Coine, come, to its festival labor a^yain. 



We boast not llic olive, wc want not the vine, 

 (■"or the orange and citron ^ve do not repine : 

 We look at no cllmaie wiili envious eyes, 

 i''or what nature ref.iscs, our labor supplies. 



Hut our country we serve, when we follow the plough, 



t''or 'tis seldom a ti-aitoris wiping his brow 5 



And toil that wc love, is the pledge of our faith 



To the land that we live in — through danger and death. 



Then long be that land itie abode of the free. 



Afar may its fall, in futurity be, 



And long may its harvests so beautiful wave, 



And long may they gladiicn the hearts of the brave.

A young Counsel, who was r.t'lif'r given to brou- 

 beating, had a favorite mode of mystifying a wit- 

 ness by saying, "well, sir, I slial' only ask you one 

 question, and I do not care wbicli way you answer 

 it." Mr Brougham, who was on tl e same circuit, 

 accosted his friend one mornii;^ — Well, Jones, I 

 have but one qucytinn to ask you. -ind I do not 

 care which way you answer it H: iv do you do

The olive, so stuffed, must be put into a lark, the 

 lark in a quail, the quail into a partridge, llie par- 

 -.lidge into a pheasant, the pheasant into a turkey, 

 lid the turkey into a sucking pig. Let a brisk 

 ire amalgamate weU the juices of these various 

 -rieats, and serve it up. But hold, rash man! — 

 ouch it not with your knife; throw the whole out 

 of the windov.', tave the olive, in which the quint- 

 ■;ssence of the whole of the surtounding materials 

 is cencentratcd. Sv.-al'ow the olive ; but have 

 near you a bottle of ether, for it is probable you 

 may faint with pleasure. Some epicures reject 

 •'.ven the olive, eating only the shredded anchovy.

which !\ conjurer can scarcely interpret. The 

 consequence of which is, that their children being 

 disposed to learn the first.words they hear, acquire 

 a silly and disgraceful dialect, which very often 

 affects their speech, more or less, during life. It 

 were we'l if parents would recollect the impor- 

 tance of spe.Tkinu to children, and endeavoring to 

 make them spe;ik in the language of correctness. 

 This cannot be effected if they use, or suffer oth- 

 ers to use that sort of baby talk, which so often 

 misleads and abuses the faculties of children. —
