RASH WORDS. 
Rash words! Oh, could I but grieve o’er the woe, 
O’er the pain of your sting, and the discord you sow,— 
Could I weep o’er the pangs cf the grief-riven heart, 
Till repentant and softened, you all should depart,— 
Oh, how glad were the sunshine, how placid the sky 
How joyous the light, of each soul-beaming eye. 
Rash words 1 How unkind on the listening ear 1 
Ye call forth the sigh, and ye mingle the tear! 
Ye come with a frown and a darkened eye, 
And truth, love, and gentleness, hover and fly. 
Ye fall on the heart ! and more dread is your power 
Tiian the storm-threatuing sky or the frost to the flower. 
Rash words, oh, forbear! From this green earth, away! 
The sun shines benignantly, how can ye stay ! 
The sky smiles in love, uncongenial to thee, 
The soft winds are whispering, “sinless and free 
Sweet notes of contentment, wild gushes of joy, 
Are reproachfully blent with your notes of alloy. 
Rash words, ah ! how grevious the deeds ye have done 1 
Y r e have darkened the light of the happy home 1 
Ye have cast o’er the spirit of gladness a cloud, 
And wrapped the young heart in its early shroud : 
Ye have breathed on the spirit o’erladen with care, 
Till it sank ’neath its load, to the shades of despair. 
Ye fell on the heart of the trusting young bride ! 
From the life of the chosen one, at her side— 
And she shrank ’neath the stroke, like a flower in the blast, 
But her spirit now rests, and the tempest is past: 
And she sweetly sleeps, in her dreamless bed, 
With the flowers at her feet, and the blue sky o’erhead. 
Ye were borne to the ears of the wearied one 
As he wandered forth from his comfortless home 1 
And ye rang in bis ear, and weighed on his soul, 
Till he turned for relief to the dead'ning bowl,— 
Ye have lured him on with the sparkling wave, 
Down the dark, dark path, to the drunkard's grave.

THE HUMP-BACKED COUSIN. 
TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH. 
Behold an extraordinary adventure of 
the latter days. If it were not an extraor¬ 
dinary occurrence, one need not relate it- 
A father of a family inhabiting the llue 
de la Michordiere, received last summer, a 
letter from his nephew, who was in the em¬ 
ploy of Hyder Abad. The letter concluded 
thus : 
“I have received the portraits of my two 
cousins, Marie and Margaret. I have never 
had the pleasure of seeing them, as I Lave 
lived with Ilydor Abad since my youth, but 
I am sure that those two portraits aro re¬ 
semblances. I will arrive at Havre by the 
ship Inos Ego, about the first of October, 
and on my arrival, lam determined to mar¬ 
ry the beautiful Mar—” 
The breaking open of the letter had de¬ 
stroyed the rest of the name. It was im¬ 
possible to tell if the cousin had asked Marie 
or Margaret in marriage. The two sisters, 
united previous to this timo, have com¬ 
menced to live in misunderstandings, each 
of them positive that it is the part of her 
name which was torn off in breaking the 
seal. 
The father employed his eloquence in 
calming the anger of his daughters, when a 
servant, sent in advance, arrives from Havre, 
announcing that his master wont to Paris 
with the evening train. 
The sevant was overwhelmed with ques¬ 
tions, and replied that his master was 
ruined, and that he had, moreover, on his 
left shoulder, the horrid protuberance which 
had caused, according to Planude, so many 
misfortune to yEsop, the Phrygian. 
The two cousins determine, hereupon, to 
remain single forever, before marrying a 
cousin, hump-backed and ruined. 
As they take this oath for the thirtieth 
time in twelve hours, the cousin arrives. 
His uncle warmly embraces him, the cousins 
make a polite bow, and turn away their eyes. 
The uncle then explains the incidont of 
the torn letter, and asks the matrimonial 
intentions of his nephew. 
“ It is my cousin Marie whom I come to 
marry,” he replied. 
“ Never ! never 1” screamed Marie. “ I 
am contented with my condition, and I will 
remain in it.” 
“ Mademoiselle,” said the nephew, “I have 
adopted the customs of the country where 
I have been educated. Read the customs 
of Hyder Abad, in Travernier. There when 
a young man is refused an offer of marriage 
ho withdraws himself from society as a use¬ 
less being.” 
“ Ho kills himself!” exclaimed the other 
sister, the good Margaret. 
“He kills himself!” replies the nephew, 
in the tone of a man about to commit sui¬ 
cide. 
“ The poor cousin!” said Margaret, weep¬ 
ing, to come such a distanco to dio in the 
bosom of his family.” 
“ I know, continued the nephew, ‘ that my 
deformity afflicts the sight of a woman, but 
in time the eyes of a woman become habit¬ 
uated to all things. I know, also, that my 
commercial business is not prosperous. 
Thrown very young into the diamond busi¬ 
ness, the only occupation of Hyder Abad, I 
lost there all the fortune of my father; but 
I have acquired experience; I am young, 
active and industrious. Those are riches in 
themselves. ’ ” 
“ Yes, yes, hump-backed and ruined !” 
muttered Marie, in a bantering tone. 
“Poor young man !” said Margaret, and 
she adds, “ my cousin, I am refused, and you 
pay no attention to it.” 
“ And by whom refused ?” inquired her 
cousin. 
“ But to your cost, by you, since you havo 
preferred my sister to me.” 
“Eh, bien !” said the cousin, “will you 
accept me, if I ask you in marriage frem my 
uncle T 
“ I will engago my father to let my cousin 
live.” 
“ YVhat 1” exclaimed the hump-backed, 
“ you consent, my lovely Margaret, to—” 
“ Save tho life of a relative ! Indoed, I 
will not waver a minute.” 
“ This is very well, my daughter,” said tho 
uncle, affected by the scene. “ Romances 
have not spoiled you. I have a very small 
income, but I ought not to abandon the son 
of my brother in misfortune. I will keep 
him here as kindred, for where there is 
enough for three there is enough for four.” 
The cousin threw himself at Margaret’s 
feet, saying: 
“ You havo saved an unfortunate man 
from destruction and death.” 
At a little distanco, Marie muttered to 
herself: 
“My sister has courage. As for me, I 
would let all hump-backed cousins die.” 
“Uncle,” said the young man, “allow me 
to make a slight toilet before breakfast.” 
Ho pressed Margaret’s hand, bowed to 
Marie, and left to change his travelling 
attire. 
The uncle and his daughters wero at tho 
table and awaited their fourth guest. 
Tho servant announced the cousin of 
Hyder Abad. 
The two girls uttered two screams, but on 
different koys. 
They see enter a charming young man, 
tall, without any hump-back, who embraces 
Margaret, and placing before her a basket, 
he says to her : 
“ Behold your marriage portion.” 
It was a basket full of diamonds. It was. 
moreover, tho hump, which thus arrived 
free of duties. 
“ See what I have carried on my shoulder,” 
said tho cousin, “from Bombay to Havre, to 
offer it to that one of my cousins who would 
accept me with my faiso poverty and my 
feigned deformity.” 
There was great joy in tho house, which 
was, astonishing as it may seem, participated 
in by Marie. It is true, that Marie loved her 
sister dearly without detesting tho diamonds. 
THE LOWLY AND THE LOVING. 
“ The alms most precious man can give to man 
Are kind and loveful words. Nor come amiss 
Warm sympathizing tears to eyes that scan 
The world aright; the only error is 
Neglect to do the little good we can.” 
Love has often more influence than talent. 
The last appeals to the reason, tho first to 
the affections : tho last speaks to tho intel¬ 
lect, but the first goes straight to tho heart. 
“ It is beautiful,” exclaims a Swedish author, 
“to believe ourselves loved, especially by 
those whom we love and value.” Yes, it is 
beautiful, certainly; but woo to us if wo 
neglect tho responsibility attached to it. 
It has been truly said, tho loving, and tho 
unselfish almost insensibly dissuado from 
evil, and persuade to good, all who come 
within reach of their soothing power; that 
no one can advance alone towards the hap¬ 
piness or misery of another world ; and little 
can the most insignificant of beings con¬ 
jecture how extensive may have been tho 
beneficial or evil effects which have attended 
their own apparently unimportant conduct. 
“ In tho heraldry of heaven,” writes Bishop 
Horne, “goodness precedes greatnessso 
on earth it is often far more powerful. Tho 
lowly and the'loving may frequently do 
more in their limited sphere, than the gifted. 
To yield constantly, in little things begets 
the same yielding spirit in others, and 
renders life the happier. We must never 
forget that wo are all appointed to some 
station which we will fill in this life by the 
wise Disposer of events, who knows what is 
suited to our various capacities and talents 
much better than we do ourselves; and who 
would not have placed us there if He had 
not something for us to do. How few there 
are who live up to their own power of being 
useful! Earth is our dwelling place, where 
each has his or her appointed sphero of 
usefulness, their mission of love and duty, 
as they pass homeward to heaven. 
A gentleman travelling through a part of 
Wiltshire, where he had not been before for 
many years, could not help observing tho 
peculiar neatness and even beauty of the 
little cottage gardens which he passed, and 
which he did not remember having noticed 
when ho was thore last. 
“ No,” replied the friend who had accom¬ 
panied him ; it has only been so within the 
last few years, since Lucy D- came to 
reside in tho village. It is all owing to 
her.” 
“ But how can one person keep all these 
gai-dens so scrupulously neat ?” 
“ You must ask her,” replied his friend 
Mr. L-. with a smile and pausing as he 
spoke to shako hands with a young and 
delicate-looking girl, plainly attired and car¬ 
rying in her hand a nosegay of flowers. 
“ Are thoy not beautiful ?” asked she, 
holding them up. “ Widow Green gave 
them to me, and she has plenty more. I was 
sure they would grow if she only tried. 
You cannot imagine how pretty thoy make 
her garden look.” 
“ She had no garden, I think, when first 
you know her,” said Mr.-. 
“No, I believe not. I do not know what 
she would do without ono now: she was 
saying so herself this very morning; and 
that it was her greatest comfort.” 
“ My friend is very anxious to understand 
how you have managed to introduce so 
many gardens into tho village, and to keep 
them in such good order. He thinks that 
it must be a great deal of trouble for one 
person.” 
“ It is no trouble to me,” replied Lucy, 
simply, and with a modest blush. “ I havo 
nothing to do but to appear pleased, and to 
speak a word of praise now T and thon, and 
accept all their little flower offerings. I was 
always fond of flowers.” 
“ But how did you contrive at first ?” 
“ I almost forget. I do not think I did 
much. I only admirod Mrs. Brown’s flow¬ 
ers, and thon she planted moro to please 
me; and by and by others began to notice 
how pretty her garden looked, and to long 
to plant some also, and to come to me for 
some seeds and cuttings. I do not think I 
did much besides telling them the proper 
season for planting, and where I thought 
they would thrive tho best. The little school 
children weed, hoping that I shall be pleased 
to see tho garden look neat and nice; and 
so I am. The gardens of tho poor aro a 
great comfort to them.” 
“Yes,” said Mr. L-, “it keeps them 
out of mischief. Many a poor man may 
now be seen working in his little garden, 
with his children around him, and his wife 
sewing peacefully in the cottage porch, who 
used to go to the public house. Many a 
happy home has sprung from the love of 
flowers.” 
Just then an old man came tottering to¬ 
wards us, holding a stick in one hand, and a 
flower-pot in the other. 
“ I havo been looking out for you all day,” 
said he to Lucy. “It' you could spare a 
moment, I have so many things to ask and 
show you.” ^ 
“To bo sure I cau,” replied the girl, with 
a kind smile; and dropping a modest cour¬ 
tesy, she •wont away with tho old man, and 
left tho two friends together. 
“Well,” said Mr. L-. after a pause, 
“what do you think of our Lucy ?” 
“ Sho appears to bo very young, and does 
not look strong; but I was thinking of tho 
power which one individual may exert for 
good over those around her.” 
“ But Lucy not only teaches and encoura¬ 
ges the poor people and the little children 
to love flowers,” continued Mr. L-, “but 
tries to win them to Christ, and to make 
them love him. Many a simple homily havo 
1 heard her preach from the lily of the 
valley, or the flower of tho field. Her in¬ 
fluence is not only exerted for good—it is 
exerted for God, who has deigned to bless 
it in moro than one instance.” 
Lucv I)-is neither gifted nor beauti¬ 
ful. Few know her even by name. It can 
only be said of her that sho loves God, and 
loves flowers. Contented and cheerful, she 
passes through life, making it seem all the 
brighter and better for her brief sojoui-ning. 
It has been well said of a kindred spirit, that, 
“ looking to heaven as her rest, and to Christ 
as her Saviour, sho seemed to have caught 
something of the calm serenity of her great 
Master, something of his purity and love. 
In the world, but not of it, sho was like ono 
going cheerfully homeward, and singing as 
she went; while she scattered around her, 
in passing, holy counsels and instructions— 
kind words and actions—the bright sunshine 
of a lowly and loving spirit.” 
There aro some who assert that, in their 
isolated position, they have influence on 
none. But there is no such thing as a tho¬ 
roughly detached and isolated individual; 
we aro all inextricably tied up and interlaced 
with each other; so that no man can live or 
act without affecting others in somo degree 
or somo purpose. If they havo no power to 
do good, we would say that it is because 
they soek it not, and would beseech them to 
arouse their dormant energies in that search 
which alone can bring happiness.

Passenger, 
If thou art a soldier, 
Drop a tear over the dust of a hero, 
who, 
Ever attentive 
To tho lives and happinses of his men, 
Dared to lead 
Whore any dared to follow. 
If a patriot, 
Remember tho distinguished and gallant 
Services rendered thy country 
By the patriot who sleeps beneath this 
Marble. 
If thou art honest, generous, and worthy, 
Render a cheerful tribute of respect 
to a man 
Whose generosity was singular. 
Whose honesty was proverbial; 
who 
Raised himself to universal esteem. 
And offices of general distinction, 
By honest worth, 
And a 
Useful life. 
The Last Proposition. —A gentleman in 
Iowa, proposes to keep cities free from 
thunder storms “ for so much a year.” To 
most people this offer would bo looked upon 
as preposterous, and yet it is not. We have 
no doubt whatever that an outlay of ten 
thousand dollars would keep Now York as 
insulated as a glass table, with sealing-wax 
legs. What a gentleman in Iowa proposes 
to do for us, has already been done for the 
vine-growers of the south of France. By 
means of a well arranged system of light¬ 
ning-rods, a whole district has been render¬ 
ed inaccessible to those destructive hail 
storms which so frequently follow in the 
train of thunder showers. What has beon 
done in France, can be done elsewhere. If 
we can teach lightning to write, we can 
teach it to behave itself.

IS IT ANYBODY’S BUSINESS 1 
[The following is submitted, for the consideration of all 
whom it may concern, by a member of the “ Mind Your 
Own Business Society,” with hope that it may be produc¬ 
tive of good results.] 
Is it any body’s business 
If a gentleman should choose 
To wait upon a lady, 
If the lady don’t refuse ? 
Or—to speak a little plainer, 
That the meaning all may know— 
Is it anybody’s business 
If a lady has a beau ? 
If a person’s on the sidewalk, 
Whether great or whether small, 
Is it anybody’s business 
Where that person means to call f 
Or, if you see a person 
As he’s calling anywhere, 
Is it any of your buainess 
What his business may be there ? 
The substance of our query, 
Simply stated, would be this: 
Is it everybody’s business 
What another’s business is ? 
If it is, or if it isn’t, 
We would really like to know, 
For we’re certain if it isn’t, 
There are some who make it so. 
If it is, we’ll join the rabble, 
And act the noble part 
Of the tattlers and defamers 
Who throng the public mart; 
But if not, we’ll act the teacher, 
Until each medler learns * 
It were better in the future 
To mind his own concerns. 
WHAT IS HAPPINESS 1 
I ask again what is happiness ? It aint 
bein’ idle, that’s a fact—no idle man or wo¬ 
man ever was happy since the world began. 
Eve was idle and that’s tho way sho got 
tempted, poor critter; employment gives 
appetite and digestion. Duty makes pleas¬ 
ure doubly sweet by contrast. When the 
harness is off, if tho work aint too hard, a 
critter likes to kick up his heels. When 
pleasure is the business of life, it ceases to 
bo pleasure; and when it’s all labor and no 
play, work, like an unstuffed saddle, cuts 
into the very bone. Neither labor nor 
idleness has a road that leads to happiness 
—ono has no room for the heart, and the 
other corrupts it. Hard work is tho best 
of tho two, for that has, at all events, sound 
sleep—the other has restloss pillows and 
unrofreshing sleep—ono is misfortune, the 
other is a curse, and money aint htippiness, 
that’s as clear as mud.— Sam Slick’s Wise 
Saws. 
Both Wearied Out. —“ I havo brought 
you this hill until I am sick and tired of it,” 
said a colloctor to a debtor, upon whom he 
had called at least forty times. 
“ You are, oli ?” coolly replied the debtor. 
“ Yes, I am !” was tho response. 
“Well then, you had better not present 
it again. There will be two of us ploased if 
you do not; for to tell the truth, I’m sick 
and tired of seeing that identical bill my¬ 
self.” 
A worthy minister noted for his wit, 
on being asked what kind of a person the 
wife of Mr.-was, replied, “ I will give you 
her grammatical character. She is a noun 
substantive,— seen, felt, and heard.”

GARDEN OR EIRE liNGINIi.- 
T HE Subscribers manufacture, and furnish to order, 
a Garden or Fire Engine, which for its power, capaci¬ 
ty and usefulness cannot be surpassed. From the size of 
the Air Chamber, sufficient power is obtained to enable 
one man to throw a steady stream of wa'er to the height 
of 50 feet perpendicularly, thereby rendering it a desira¬ 
ble article as a protect ion against fire, for washing win¬ 
dows of second and third stories of buildings, carriages, 
&c. With our newly invented Water Diffuser, as a Gar¬ 
den Engine it defies competition : the Ditfuser is a perfect 
and simple article, (which we intend to get patented,) and 
its superiority over the Rose Sprinkler, is that it will t brow 
four times the quantity of water a much greater distance, 
and spread it perfectly even, with less power applied. 
N. B.—A Garden Engine with a Diffuser of the above 
description, used in orchards and gardens, to throw soap¬ 
suds on the young trees, will destroy many kinds of ver¬ 
min likely to destroy the fruit, and he an invaluable addi¬

~ ATKIN’S’ SEEF-RAIONO REAPER. 
rsMIlS MACHINE is now offered to the public and war- 
\ ranted to be a good Self-Raking Reaper. It is also 
believed to be a good mower, but not yet having been suf¬ 
ficiently tested in grass (though it soon will be) it is not 
warranted to be equal to a machine maefe mainly or wholly
