■BPH^^^Tabout a boy.. 
“ Nothing— less than nothing—and vanity!’ 
We stood beside the window sill. 
The little lad and I; 
Within the room was sober gloom, 
Without a sunset sky. 
I drew him forward to the light, 
That 1 might see him plain; 
That sudden vie.w thrilled my heart through 
With a delicious pain. 
I leant his head back o’er my arm, 
And stroked his crisped hair— 
The dear, dear curls, o’er which salt pearls 
I could have rained out there! 
I looked beneath his heavy lids, 
Drooping with dreamy fold; 
What visioned eyes I saw arise! 
But nothing shall be told. 
Gaily I spoke: “ Could I come back 
Nine years, and he gain nine, 
I would not say what ill to-day 
Had chanced this heart of mine.” 
He laughed—all I.mghed—I most of all. 
But I was glad l ween, 
That the vvhoie room lay in such gloom— 
His face alone was seen. 
He talked to me in school-boy phrase; 
I gave him meet replies— 
] mine, not what; my sense was naught, 
Or lived Irt in my eyes. 
I could not kiss him as a child, 
I only touched bis hair, 
Or with my hand his broad brow spanned; 
But not that it was lair. 
He strange to me—as I to him, 
We never met before; 
Yet I woul l fain brave mickle pain 
To see the lad once more. 
But why this was, and is, God knows! 
Ami I—! know with joy. 
I’ll find among His angel throng 
An angel—like that boy! 
THE MECHANIC’S WIFE; 
OR THE RESULTS OF PERSEVERANCE, 
“ Well, Augustus,” said Marianne, as the 
former entered a little room, which, with¬ 
out carpet, curtain, or ornament of any kind, 
served as kitchen, sitting room and nursery, 
“ we are really settled at housekeeping. 
Don’t it seem comfortable after so many 
privations ?” 
“ Yes,” answered the young husband, 
trying to smile, as he glanced, first at his 
handsome wife, then at the neat little pine 
supper table, and then at the cradle, where 
slept a blooming little boy of six months; 
“ but mine is such a life of toil, that I have 
no time to enjoy any thing, not even to 
play with Fred.” 
“ But it seems to me,” returned the wife, 
thoughtfully, “ that it need not be just so. 
We are not in debt; we both have health; 
and I am willing to be very economical, in 
order that we may have time for enjoy¬ 
ment and improvement, too. Say, shall we 
make the experiment?” 
She handed him a cup of tea as she spoke, 
and looked up into his face with a sweet 
hopeful smile; but his face was deadly pale, 
and an unbidden tear stood in his eye as 
he answered moodily — “ 1 don’t know how 
that can be. Every moment taken from 
my labor, is so much taken from our scanty 
income. We. cannot afford to attend places 
of public amusement—in our present low 
style of living, we cannot mingle in the first 
society, and 1 will never consent to enter 
any other than yood society, if we live alone 
—and as for improvement, my education 
was so neglected in my childhood, that 1 
have lttlle taste 1 for reading—and besides, 
we have nothing to read.” 
“ 0 yes,” said the wife, “ we have enough 
to begin with. Here is our beautiful new 
gilt bible, which we must read morning 
and evening, and here is our paper, with 
good improving matter enough to last one 
or two evenings in a week, and you can 
easily have a share in a public library to 
fill up the rest.” 
“ But how shall I find time, my good 
planning wife?” 
“ Thank you, dear Augustus, for the 
condiment, and now I will plan on: We will 
rise early and work diligently all day.— 
Then if you think you need to work longer, 
you can bring your work into my room, or 
I will take Freddy into the shop, ond one 
of us will read and tend the baby, while 
the other works. Won’t that be a good 
plan ?” 
“ 1 rather think it will,” said the husband, 
beginning to show a litile more interest, 
“ but I’m thinking also, that my hesitating, 
blundering manner of reading will not be 
very edifying to you I shall make hut 
sorry work of it.” 
“ Well, suppose you do. I have a good 
Webster’s Dictionary, and we will have that 
open before us, and look out every word 
which we cannot pronounce, and every word 
of which we do not understand the mean¬ 
ing. If our progress is slow at first, we shall 
have nobody to laugh at us, and we shall 
soon find ourselves improving rapidly.” 
Augustus smiled incredulously,butseem- 
ed disposed to encourage his wife to go on, 
and therefore said with some animation, 
“you are indeed a noble planner. But 
what shall we do on the Sabbath? I sup¬ 
pose you expect to advance fast in the 
march of mind,” when we have a whole 
day to ourselves.” 
“ Yes,” said Marianne, “ I think we may ; 
though our arrangements must be some¬ 
what modified—You know we have a seat 
in Dr. O.’s church. You must join the 
young men’s Bible Class, and prepare the 
lesson in the morning while I attend meet¬ 
ing. Then I will stay in the afternoon, and 
let you go to the afternoon service and the 
Bible Class. In the evening v\e will read.” 
“ I’ve no objection to that; but as a com¬ 
pensation for my Bible Class, you must join 
the Ladies’ Sewing Circle, and I will lake 
care of Fred, one afternoon in the week to 
let you go. 
“Thank you, dear husband, I will gladly 
accept your offer, if you will let me stay 
alone one evening in a week, while you at¬ 
tend our excellent Lyceum lectures. And 
now let us begin this very evening. I feel 
that eveiy moment is lost till we do. We 
have much encouragement. Only think of 
the many learned men who have educated 
themselves, and risen to respectability and 
usefulness wholly by their own exertions, 
even after they were somewhat advanced 
in life. Roger Sherman, for instance, and 
Elihu Burritt, and a host of others.” 
The young wife became enthusiastic as 
she proceeded, and would have spent the 
whole evening in her disquisition upon self 
education, had not Freddy, awaking from 
his nap, required some maternal attention. 
Augustus took up the Bible, and read a 
good chapter in Proverbs, on the practical 
duties of life, and declared that he had nev¬ 
er before read such a chapter. The plan 
was fairly begun. 
Augustus was a pale, spare young man 
of nine and twenty. His education, as lie 
said, had been sadly neglected in his youth, 
lie had been bound apprentice to a coarse 
vulgar shoemaker in the country, and had 
unhappily settled the question in his own 
mind, that he was doomed to ignorance, 
and a low degrading employment for life. 
He had imagined also that his relations 
were willing to lose sight of him, and his 
sensitive nature was stung to the quick.— 
After a few years of vexation and toil, he 
wandered far away from home, and friends, 
and familiar association, and wonder it was, 
that he was not hurried away by the whirl¬ 
pool of error and vice, and dashed upon 
rocks of utter destruction. 
He had, however, been favored with the 
instructions and prayers of a Christian moth¬ 
er; and had seen examples in his own fami¬ 
ly, of high purpose, and noble and success¬ 
ful effort. He had, therefore, preserved an 
unsullied reputation, had acquired a little 
property, had married an intelligent, cheer¬ 
ful, healthy girl of twenty summers, 
had removed to a “city of shoemakers,” 
where his occupation was honorable, and 
where his aspiration after respectability and 
independence might hope to be realized. 
But on the afternoon preceding this con¬ 
versation, he had been unusually annoyed. 
He had suffered some embarrassment in 
in getting settled in his humble tenement 
—had sustained some losses, and heard a 
bitter sarcastic remark from an aristocrat 
of the place, which crimsoned his pale cheek, 
and sent him home through a cold drizzly 
rain storm, wearied in body, depressed, vexed 
in spirit, and almost determined never to 
make another effort. 
He was, and supposed he ever must be, 
a poor shoemaker of L. 
Twenty years had elapsed, and a family 
group were arranged around a marble cen¬ 
tre table, in the parlor of a magnificent 
house in the city of L-. A gentleman 
of some fifty years, had just divested him¬ 
self of his outer garments, and dressed in a 
rich velvet gown and embroidered slippers, 
sat reading the journals of the day. A 
lady some years younger, sat by his side, 
her face beaming with intelligence, benevo¬ 
lence, and gratified pride, as she gazed first 
at her dignified and honored husband, and 
then at the lovely group of children around 
the table. One was a noble youth, just re¬ 
turned to spend his College vacation at 
home—another was a tali graceful girl of 
sixteen, who had finished a long recitation 
to her brother, and was preparing to cheer 
the circle with her ever welcome music on 
the piano. A bright boy of twelve was per¬ 
forming a problem in mathematics, and a 
little cherry cheeked girl was drawing pic¬ 
tures on her slate, and teazing every body 
to teach her. 
Presently the door bell announced a vis¬ 
itor. A person entered and presented a 
subscription for religious charity. Put me 
down a hundred dollars, said the good man, 
and the collector departed blessing the 
giver. When he was gone, the gentleman 
said, “my dear, did you think to send the 
coal and flour to the poor woman at the 
corner?” “Yes,” said the wife, “and 
Frederick and Mary have been round to 
that sick family, and carried the clothes and 
medicines.” “ Yes, papa,” said little Kate, 
looking up from the house she was draw¬ 
ing, “ they carried away my new stockings.” 
“ Shall I send and get them back again,” 
said the father. “ 0 no, ineeed,” said the 
child, “ I sent them. Poor little Charley’s 
feet were cold and bleeding.” 
The father now remarked that it was time 
for family worship. In a moment all was 
silent. Books, slates, papers, and work 
were all laid aside. A neat gilt bible, bear¬ 
ing the marks of constant usage was bro t 
The son read an interesting portion. The 
whole family joined in a familiar hymn, and 
the father lead in prayer, and worshipped 
the Father of mercies in spirit and truth, 
from the fulness of a grateful heart. 
After an interval of silence, the son look¬ 
ed up as if from a reverie and said, “Father, 
I think I have heard you say, that your 
youth was neglected, that you were once 
poor, illiterate, almost an infidel, and en¬ 
tirely discouraged. It would be extremely 
interesting to us, to learn by what means 
the Mayor of this good city, the honored 
Trustee of our College, the Superintendent 
of our Sabbath School, and the deacon of 
our church, has arisen from so unpromising 
beginnings, to his present station.” 
The eyes of the good man filled with 
tears, his lip quivered, he covered his face 
with his handkerchief, and for some time, 
no whisper was heard from the astonished 
audience around him. He was thinking of 
the poverty and ignorance of his early days 
— of religious errors which had well nigh 
caused his destruction—of the way in which 
a kind and watchful Providence had led his 
thoughtless steps, amid all the dangers 
around him—of the blessing he had re¬ 
ceived in his lovely, admirable wife—of the 
days of toil, and nights of hard study, in 
which she had shared, and cheered him on 
like an angel of light and love—and lastly 
of the countless blessings and honors which 
now surrounded him. At length he un¬ 
covered his face, and amid stifled sobs, said 
lo his wife, “Tell the children, dear, the con¬ 
versation we had together, just twenty 
years ago to-night, around our little pine 
tea table.”

WHITTLING. —A YANKEE PORTRAIT. 
nv BEV. J. PIERl'ONT. 
The Yankee boy, before he’s sent to school, 
Well knows the mysteries of that magic tool, 
The pocket-knife. To that his wistful eye 
Turns, while he hears his mother’s lullaby; 
His hoarded cents lie gladly gives to get it, 
Then leaves no stone unturned till he can whet it; 
And in the education of the lad. 
No little part that implement hath had. 
His pocket-knife to the young whitiler brings 
A growing knowledge of material things. 
Projectiles, music, and the sculptor’s art, 
His chestnut whistle and his shingle dart, 
His elder'pop-gun with its hickory rod, 
Its sharp explosion and rebounding wad, 
Ilis corn-stalk fiddle, and the deeper tone, 
That murmurs from his pumpkin leaf trombone, 
Conspire to teach the hoy. To these succeed 
His how, his arrow of a feathered reed, 
His wind-mill, raised the passing breeze to win, 
His water wheel that turns upon a pin; 
Or if his father lives upon the shore, 
You’ll sec his ship, “ beam-ends upon the floor,” 
Full-rigged, with raking masts, and timbers staunch, 
And waiting, near the wash-tub, for a launch. 
Tims by his genius and his jack-knife driven, 
Ere long he’ll solve you any problem given; 
Make any gim-crnck. musical or mute, 
A plow, a coach, an organ or a flute, 
Make you a locomotive or a clock, 
Cuta canal or build a floating dock, 
Or lead forth Beauty from a marble block;— 
Make any thing, in short, for sea or shore, 
From a child’s rattle to a seventy-four:— 
Make it, saitf I?—Ay, when lie undertakes it 
He’ll make the thing, and the machine that makes it. 
And when the thing is made,—whether it he 
To move on earth, in air on the sea, 
Whether on water, o’er the waves to glide, 
Or, upon land, to roll, revolve, or slide, 
Whether to whirl, or jar, to strike or ring, 
Whether it he a piston or a spring, 
Wheel, pully, tube sonorous, wood or brass, 
The thing designed shall surely come to pass;— 
For when his hand’s upon it, you may know, 
That thcre’s go in it, and lie’ll make it go. 
Found Him at Last.— Mrs. Jemima Jip- 
son never could goto bed without first look¬ 
ing underneath, to sec if somebody was not. 
stowed away there. But her search had 
olways been bootless. At last, however, 
ane night she spied, (or thought she did, 
which Is all the same,) the long looked for 
boots and legs. 
“Oh! Mr. Jipson!” she screamed out, 
“ there’s a man under the bed!” 
“Is there?” coolly brawled her husband 
_“ well, my dear, 1 am glad you have 
found him at last. You have been looking 
for him these twenty years.” 
A devotee of Bacchus stepped out of 
a hotel at Elmira, the ether evening, and 
his perceptive faculties not being particular¬ 
ly distinct, tumbled unawares into the lock. 
After paddling around about half an hour, 
he succeeded in getting out and obtaining 
admittance into the house. Shaking his 
hat by the stove, he exclaimedI say, 
(Inc) Mister, this may be a darn good tavern, 
(hie) but think your house (hie) has got a 
1 c-e-t-l-e larger cistern than it can well 
afford.” _ 
Proof of Insanity. —One of our courts 
decided the other day, that a man was in¬ 
sane, “ because he paid money to a lawyer 
without taking a receipt.” 
Punch says an Astronomer being asked 
what the use of an eclipse was, replied— 
“ 0, I don’t know. It gives the sun time 
for reflection.” 
“ Attempt the end, and never stand to doubt; 
Nothing’s so hard, hutsearch will find itout.”

Remarks. —Those who contribute to this de¬ 
partment will much oblige ns by great care in the 
construction and copying of their Enigmas—that 
they may be printed correctly, and not occupy too 
much the attention of those to whom time is worth 
more perhaps than to the writers. We would much 
prefer Enigmas on Historical and Scientific subjects, 
to those on the names of the authors, or of any pri¬ 
vate individuals.

constant, without the aid of an air vessel. The packing 
is self-adjusting, very durable, and cannot well get out of 
order. 
These pumps are well calculated for all the purposes for 
which pumps or hydrants maybe used, viz., Factories, 
Steamboats, Tanneries, Breweries, Distilleries, Railroad, 
Water Stations, Hotels, Mines, Garden Engines, Sec. The 
highest testimonials will be given.

FIRST PREMIUM 
RAILROAD IIORSE POWER. 
rpHE above justly celebrated Powers as now made and 
X sold by the subscribers, are offered the public with the 
assurance that they are all they are represented—they hav¬ 
ing been very extensively and thoroughly introduced and 
tested, side by side, with all the tread powers known, of 
any note in tiie country, and been preferred. 
The Chairman of the Agricultural Society's Committee 
on Horse-Powers, in a communication written several 
months after the awarding of premium to Hie above Horse- 
Power, says: “ I spent much time at the late State Fair, 
[Sept. 1850,] at Albany, in examining the various Horse¬ 
powers, viz. Wheeler’s, Allen’s, Ham’s, and Emery Sc 
Co’s, first with the owners and makers, and heard all they 
could say, and again in their absence—and the result most 
fully convinced me that yours was the best, and if I want¬ 
ed one, I would give, TWENTY DOLLARS more for 
yours than any others on the grounds; and ns you have 
won the laurels fairly, it is just that you should receive a 
full reward.” 
He further says—“ You know from experience that 1 
have no sort of partiality for your establishment, and as a 
committee-man of said Society for years, I have decided 
against you ol'tener than for you; and if others have a hel¬ 
ler article than you, 1 would decide in their favor, if the 
decision ruined your establishment, and vice versa, hurl 
who it may.” 
With the testimony of such men as the author of the 
foregoing, when, together with the changeable gearing, and 
other important improvements adopted since last season, 
make it the most convenient, durable, efficient, and eco¬ 
nomical Horse-Power now made; and the public may rest 
assured of being furnished by us with a superior machine.
