JOHN ANDERSON TO HIS JEAN. 
BY MRS. J. WEBB. 
Air — John Anderson my Jo. j 
Oil, Jean! it neeins but yesterday,- 
Since light an ony fawn. 
Ye tripped in virgin bashfulness 
• Across the flowery lawn ; 
And bright your golden hair wavcil, 
That I line has strewn wi‘ suaw ; 
Yet still ye wear youth’s winning smile, 
Tliough youth’s bright morn’s awa. 
Though your eye be no sae clear, Jean, 
As when in youthful prime, 
Sac sweetly, s.ae confidingly. 
Its melting glance met mine ; 
Though passion’s hour has fled, Jean, 
And cauld our pulses be ; 
Your mellowed look o’ kindly love. 
Still gently licairis on me. . 
And though the grave’s while blossoms, Jean, 
Are scattered on your brow. 
And in life’s glass the ebbing sands 
Are wasted thin and low •, 
No change our hearts ftan know, Jean, 
But, lang as life shall Iasi, 
VVe’ll gild our hojies o’ future bliss 
Wi’ memories o’ thi; past. 
A COUNTRY HOME FOR ME. 
1 do not .ask that city spires 
May round my mansion rise. 
But that my home may be where trees 
Are pointing to the skies ; 
Where flows the silvery mountain rill 
With a sweet and merry sound. 
And the echo of the hunter’s gun 
Shall through the woods resound. 
I cannot love the city’s pomp. 
Its fashion and its pride, 
I had rather dwell in a humble cot 
Upon the mountain side, 
Where sweetly blooms tlie Acacia iree. 
The tidip and the rose. 
And where, beside the rivulets, 
The early violet grows. 
1 would not give my ijuiet home. 
Its happiness and health. 
For all the city jialaces. 
Its pleasures and its wealth; 
1 love to breathe the mountain air. 
And roam where all is free, 
I.et others choo.se a city life — 
But a country home for me !

THE CHILDREN AND THE NOVEL. 
BY MBS. CAHOLINK A. SOUBE. 
“ Well there,” muttered Mre. Lee, in a 
somewhat petulant tone, as she laid down 
her babe, “ thank fortune, as the last one is 
abed and asleep. Now for a little comfort.” 
Carefully drawing the blankets around 
the tiny form, she rested one hand for a few 
moments upon the gently lieaving breast, 
stirred the cradle with the other, singing 
the while a low lullaby. 
Assured from its soft breathing and quiet 
limbs that it was indeed asleep, she turned 
from it quickly, drew her low rocker to the 
stand, picked up the light, and took from 
underneath a miscellaneous pile in her work- 
basket, an uncut novel. 
“ What a beautiful title,” said she, all tra¬ 
ces of weariness vani.shing with electric ra¬ 
pidity from her countenance. As lier eyes 
glanced over its pages, the dull look they 
liad worn all day disappeared, and the light 
of anticipated joy flashed in its stead. 
“ I know that I shall be pleased with it; 
1 feel that it will be interesting,” continued 
she. “ What charming names the author 
has chosen. None of your .Johns and Han¬ 
nahs, your lioberLs and Miirgarets—oh no*! 
liere is noble llodrigo, poetic Clarence, 
sweet Florilla, saintly There.se—why, there 
is not an ordinary name in the book. The 
writer must be one of unusual taste! ” 
Having hastily cut the leaves, she shaded 
her brow with one hand, grasped the charm¬ 
ing book with the other, as though it w'crc 
polished gold and she a miser, and com¬ 
menced, in the phrase of enthusi.astic novel 
readers, to devour the pages. 
Rapidly did her eyes run o\’er the flnst 
chapter. But then she turned her liead 
with a quick, impatient movement. Did 
she not hear a noise in the cradle? Yes, 
a little hand was lifted from beneath the 
cover. 
“Too bad, too bad; he’ll be awake all 
the evening now;” and .she glided with a 
noisele.ss step to the child’s side. 
But the eyelids were still closed—the 
measured breath of slumber stole gently 
from the half-parted lips, and the offending 
hand rested in- (juiet beauty upon the .soft 
cheek. 
It was a fair, sweet babe, whose little 
lieart had throbbed but one short summer. 
As it lay there, the spell of sinless .sleep up¬ 
on liis brow, it seemed the type of all things 
pure and blest. Eden with all its loveli¬ 
ness, never charmed the gaze of Eve with 
such a picture, '.fhe holier feelings of tlie 
mother’s breast w’ere touched, as if by a 
liand from heaven. The angel began to 
trouble the deep waters of her soul as she 
stood beside that cradle bed; and when, 
after a vigif of several moments, the child 
still sleeping, she bent her head and im¬ 
printed upon its lips the kiss of love, the 
healing wave flowed for an instant—then 
ebbed, for the novel was not yet read. 
^Resuming her seat, Mrs. Lee again took 
her hwk. But tlie fiction seemed to have 
lost some of its fascination. For some time 
her glass vacillated between its finely print¬ 
ed pages and her heaped up basket. She 
even put on her thimble and threaded her 
needle. But a moonlight scene, where in a 
honeysuckle bower, the noble lover draws 
a trembling girl to his bosom, and pours in¬ 
to her ears the bewitching words of wild 
courtship, acted like magic on the reader’s 
mind, and she became absorbed in the glow¬ 
ing picture. 
The second and third chapters were soon 
perused, and she was entering with interest 
upon the fourth, when a sweet voice from 
the trundle-bed called out “ mother, moth¬ 
er, mother.” 
Her ear caught the sound, but it made 
no impression upon her mind till it had sev¬ 
eral times been repeated; then turning 
quickly, in no very gentle voice she exclaim¬ 
ed, “ What do you want, Lizzie ? I thought 
you were asleep an hour ago.” 
“ I have been asleep, mother,” answer¬ 
ed the daughter, in a timid tone. I waked 
up because— 
“ Because you were a naughty girl and 
w’anted to plague me. Strange that I can’t 
have a minute’s comfort;” and going hasti¬ 
ly to the bed, she drew the clothes around 
the child and bade her shut lier eyes and 
go to sleep. 
“ I want a drink, mother; 1 can’t .sleep 
I am so thirsty.” 
The mother looked around; there was 
neither pitcher nor glass in the room. 
“ It’s always just so. I never forget to 
bring up water but you are sure to want 
some. Why didn’t you drink last night, 
when I had a w’hole pitcher full for you ? ” 
“ I wasn’t thirsty last night. Do please 
give me a drink, and I’ll go right to sleep.” 
“ I am not going to run down stairs to¬ 
night ; .so ju.st turn over and shut your eyes.” 
And she sat down again to her novel, 
leaving the thirsty child to its thouglits or 
dreams as the case may be. 
Lizzie, as she said, wanted a drink very 
much, and so she turned and tossed and 
tried to think about every thing but water, 
while that was all she could think of. 
“ If I had only one little swallow,” mur¬ 
mured she to herself, “ I guess I could get 
along till morning.” But she might as well 
have wanted a pailful; there was no pros¬ 
pect of getting an}'. By and by she sjiied 
upon the stove hearth a tin cup. “ Tdie 
baby’s milk!” said she. “Perhaps that 
would be as good as water. I wonder if 
mother would let me have it.” She look¬ 
ed toward the parent. She was absorbed 
in her book: her very being seemed bound 
up in it. The child knew too much to dis¬ 
turb her. 
But perhaps she could get it without dis¬ 
turbing her mother, and she did want a 
drink so much. She hesitated awhile, then 
crept silently out of bed, stole to the cup, 
seized it eagerly and took a swallow. But 
it tasted better than she thought it would, 
and her thirst was such that she drained it. 
Alarmed at what she had done, she Avas in 
such haste to put it back that it slipped 
from her trembling hand, bounding against 
the stove, falling on the hearth, and rolling 
thence on the carpet. 
“ Why, Lizzie Lee! ” screamed the moth¬ 
er, dropping her book and running to the 
child. “ I sliould like to know what you’ve 
been about, spilt all the baby’s milk I’ll 
Avarrant; ” as she took up the empty cup. 
Then seeing the carpet Avas quite dry, she 
seized Lizzie by the shoulder exclaiming in 
an angry A’oice, “ Avhat have you done Avith 
the milk, you little plague ? Tell me this 
minute, what’s become of it! ” 
“ I Avas .so thirsty, mother,” answered the 
child in a pleading voice, tears starting to 
her eyes, “ I could not go to sleep, and 
so—” 
“ So you drank it, did you ? you naughty 
girl,” continued Mrs. Lee Avith increased \’e- 
hemence of tone; “ drank it, and I havn’t 
another drop of milk in the house. I’ll 
teach you to do such things;” and her hand 
came down heavily upon the shrinking 
shoulder, one! two f three times! A Avild 
scream of pain burst from the child’s lips. 
Another, and another, and angry and exci¬ 
ted as the mother Avas, they pierced her 
heart as with deep arroAvs. 
The noise startled another child who 
slept in the same bed Avith Lizzie. Fright¬ 
ened from its .sound slumbers, it .shrieked 
in alarm, Avhen tlie babe, Avaking at the 
same moment, joined its A'oice Avith the oth¬ 
ers, not in harmony, but in discords, Avhich 
echo so often in the nursery, stunning the 
ear and bewildering the brain. 
With quick steps, quick hands, and a 
softened tone, Mrs. Lee strove to calm the 
tempest she had raised. Lizzie’s cries soon 
merged into piteous sob.s, but Willie and 
the babe continued their loud screams, till 
the mother, in h*r perplexity, Avould tain 
have Avrung her hands and sat doAvn and 
Avept Avith them. iShe ran from one to the 
other, soothing, singing, and caressing.— 
But they Avould not hush in the least, till 
as a last resource she took the babe in one 
arm, Willie in the other, and thus burthen- 
cd paced the chamber. Her limbs ached 
with the effort, her A'oice grew plaintive, 
lier heart .sad and sore Avith the upbraidings 
of a conscience AA'hich she had strove too 
long to stifle. She breathed sweet music 
in the ears of the little sobbing creatures 
who struggled in lier arms, but not a word 
of anger escaped from her pale lips. She 
felt she was the guilty cause of all her 
trouble. A little forethought, a little self- 
denial, a little discipline of temper, and all 
had been well. 
It was a long time ere she ventured to 
sit down and rock the children, and they 
did not soon close their eyes in sleep.— 
They would start and scream, then draAv 
back such long sighs, that the tears which 
trembled in the mother’s eyes Avould flood 
her cheeks. 
When, at last, they rested in a SAveet, 
calm slumber, she Avas at a loss hoAv to put 
them down, to release her weary arms, 
Avithout the risk of new confu.sion. There 
Avas no one she could call upon for aid.— 
No one? Yes, there was the little trem¬ 
bling creature Avhose tender skin still smart¬ 
ed with the chastisement of an angry 
mother. 
“ Lizzie,” called the mother, after a long 
Avhile, in a very Ioav, gentle tone. 
The child was quickly beside her. 
“ Bring ^our little chair, and .sit doAvn 
close to me and see if you can draw the 
baby on your lap without waking him.” 
Lizzie did as directed, and the babe was 
soon clasped to her heart, her lips breath¬ 
ing childish words of affection over its un¬ 
conscious form. 
Very carefully did Mr.s. Lee lay doAvn 
her little Willie, and for some moments .she 
sat beside him, smoothing gently his fair 
brow, twining his golden locks around her 
fingers, and pressing the softest and SAveet- 
est of kisses upon his still lips. 
Then, going to Lizzie, she took from her 
arms the sleeping babe, and placing it in 
the cradle bent over it, whisperin|^ the fond¬ 
est terms of endearment 
Sitting doAvn beside it, she coA’ered her 
face, and thought grew busy. By and by, 
Lizzie stole quietly to the chair, knelt be¬ 
side it, and buried her head in her moth¬ 
er’s lap. Mrs. Lee’s hands toyed with the 
soft brown curls that fell over it in such 
rich profusion, and several times pushed 
them off the forehead, when the child felt 
the mute pressure of her lips. For some 
time both were silent. At length Lizzie 
looked timidly- up, saying, in a touching 
voice: 
“ I am so sorry, mother, I made you so 
much trouble. I’ll try and never be thirsty 
again, Avhen you are reading.” 
The mother’s heart started; she drew 
the child to her bosom, embraced her fondu 
ly, closely, as though she thought by pres¬ 
sure to still its painful throbbings. Then 
bearing her to the bed, she sat her down, 
and hastily left the room. 
She soon returned, a glass of water in 
her hand. 
“ Thank you, mother,” said Lizzie, when 
she had quenched her thirst, “ you will have 
A good time to read now, for I shall go riglit 
to sleep.” 
With her eyes brimful of tears, the moth¬ 
er bent over her child and kissed her again 
and again. And Lizzie, feeling that she ' 
was quit forgiven, not dreaming that she had 
been more sinned against than sinning, threw 
her arms around lier parent’s neck, and 
gave back kiss for kiss. Then, nestling on 
the warm pillow of her little brother, she 
closed her Aveary eyes and in a few minutes 
was sound asleep. 
For a long while the mother knelt be¬ 
side the low couch, and when she rose and 
sat doAvn again by the stand, she left the 
novel AA'here she had dropped it, but took 
from her basket an unfinished doll, and with 
rapid fingers plied her needle. 
It Avas long ere she placed her head up¬ 
on her pillow. When she did, the doll, 
completed and neatly dressed, lay by the 
side of Lizzie; the novel, half-read, upon 
the Lehigh in the stove, a handful of light 
ashes. _ _ 
A MANLY LITTLE FELLOW. -When LicUt. 
Gov. Patterson, of Westfield, New York, 
was Speaker of the Legislature of this State, 
as is usual at the opening of the House, 
some dozen boys presented themselves as 
applicants for the place of messenger. He 
inquiried their names, and into their condi- 
tion.s, in order to make the proper selection. 
He came in the course of examination, to a 
small boy, about ten years old, bright look¬ 
ing lad— 
“Well, sir,” said he, “ Avhat is your name ?” 
“John Hancock, sir,” replied the boy 
Avith promptness. 
“What?” said the Speaker, “you did 
not sign tiie Declaration of Independence, 
did you ?” 
“ No sir,” replied the lad stretching him¬ 
self to his utmost proportions, “ but I would 
if I had been there.” 
“ You can be one of the messengers,” 
said the Speaker. 
A MOST curious instance of a change in 
instinct, Ls mentioned by Darwin. The bees 
carried over to Barbadoes and the Western 
Islands, cccTsed to lay up honey after the 
first year. They found the Aveather so fine 
and materials for honey so plentiful, that 
they quitted their grave, prudent and mer¬ 
cantile character, became exceedingly prof¬ 
ligate and debauched, eat up their capital, 
resolved to work no more, and amused them¬ 
selves by flying about the sugar-houses and 
stinging the negroes. Human nature ex¬
