VIRTUOUS OLD AGE. 
BY MRS. E. JESSUP EAMES. 
CITY HOUSES IN THE COUNIRY. 
Thrbe score and ten! and still th&dews of youth 
Lie on his withered brow and temples hoary ; 
The same good, guileless, simple Heart of Truth 
Beats in his breast; and like a crown of glory 
The locks of snow full round his honored head, 
And sanctify his visage dim and faded,— 
And wisely now,—the passion-fires that fill 
The Soul, have purified themselves; and aided 
By God, and Nature, he has reached Old Age, 
Yet holding slill his childhood’s fresh spring Heaven 
Through summer prime, down to life’s evening stage; 
Though time indeed hath whitely bleached and riven 
The spirit’s outer shell; its ruthless hand 
Hath cast no stain upon the inner life! 
But left him still in all its hopeful beauty 
The vanished past, with happy memories rife; 
And conscious of a life of well spent duty, 
He gazes down upon his spirit’s page, 
And reads the record of a virtuous age!

THOUGHTS ON LABOR, 
The idea is prevalent among a class, and 
unfortunately a lftrge class of society, that 
labor is disgraceful and degrading. This 
idea has given birth to a horde of idlers, 
some with wealth and a multitude without, 
who like drones in the hive, are but a curse 
to, and a tax upon their producing brethren. 
“ He is a mechanic,” “ He is a laborer,” spo¬ 
ken with a sneer of scorn, have driven from 
so called refined society, many a man far 
more worthy than his egotistical and self- 
sufficient despisers. 
Labor degrading ? indeed ! Why then, 
was it instituted by the all-wiso Architect of 
worlds and their inhabitants ? Why ren¬ 
dered necessary to the health and happi¬ 
ness of the only earthly being formed in his 
image ? Why Avas the first and most per¬ 
fect of men (placed in Paradise and sur¬ 
rounded with purity and bliss) required to 
dress and keep the garden ? These are in¬ 
quiries of some importance, and the practi¬ 
cal reply to them by multitudes of vain and 
conceited persons, is not very creditablo to 
their intellects. 
This pride in idleness, which pervades so 
largo a portion of the human race, is most 
assuredly of a deeply injurious tendency; 
not only so, but its absurdity is so great and 
manifost as to render it supremely ludicrous. 
To see a being in the form of a man, and 
a thing who calls herself a woman, dovoting 
their time and talents to the puerile task of 
adorning their persons, reading novels, or 
torturing a poor innocent piano, is certainly 
a heart-sickening sight. 
Late hours at night, and still later in the 
morning and the day spent in an endless 
round of frivolous amusemont, have become 
the very essence of fashionable life. Gen¬ 
tility and uselessness are synonymous 
terms yet the refined beings who thus scorn 
and disdain the labor are not ashamed to 
derive their subsistence from the products 
of his toil. Far from it, ten to one their 
fathers are working upon the farm or in the 
shop, and their mothers in the kitchen, to 
support them in idleness, while they 
are so much better clay than that 
whence they sprung, that for them to labor 
would be “awful vulgar.” So preposterous 
is this idea of the debasing effects of labor, 
that were it not for its prevalence and evil 
results, it would be unworthy of notice. 
Ho who violates the laws of his being, is 
tho degraded man, and must suffer the pen¬ 
alty of the infraction, this is Nature’s decis¬ 
ion, and from it there is no appeal. Let us 
compare tho laborer and the votary of fash¬ 
ion, and by this touchstone test their res¬ 
pective merits. The first is healthy and ac¬ 
tive in body, sound and vigorous of mind; 
the latter is diseased and helpless, dull and 
imbecile. The former fulfils tho design of 
his creation and is a pillar of the common- 
wpalth ; the latter consumes the product of 
another’s toil, and is a clog upon the wheels 
of society. It is plain that the laboror reaps 
the reward of the observance of the natural 
laws, and equally evident that the idler 
suffers the penalty of their infraction. 
Young man, you who wish to live instead 
of merely existing—you who aspire to use¬ 
fulness and distinction—be not afraid of la¬ 
bor ; the organic laws of body and mind de¬ 
mand it; thou shalt work, is a mandate of 
Nature, stern and imperious. There is a 
sphere in which you can act, a place upon 
earth for you to fill, a work for you to do. 
And you, young woman, who cherish a 
thought above the earth upon which you 
troad—you who disdain to be a parasite, 
and to exist as useless “ as a painted ship 
upon a painted ocean ”—there is a path in 
which you may tread, a circle which you 
may adorn. Work with body and mind, 
work with a hearty good will—so will your 
labors be blessed, and mankind benefited 
because you have lived. j. g. 
We find tho following pleasant episode in 
one of tho ciiapters of Allen’s “Rural Archi¬ 
tecture,’’just published by Saxton, and copy 
it because we know it will please our coun¬ 
try readers. After speaking of cellar fur¬ 
naces and “air-tights” and other “ city fix- 
ins,” the author says: 
A farmer’s house should look hospitable 
as well as be hospitable, both outside and in; 
and the broadest, most cheerful look of hos¬ 
pitality within doors, in cold weather, is an 
open fire in the chimney fireplace, with the 
blazing wood upon it. There is no mistake 
about it. It thaws you out, if cold; it stirs 
you up, if drooping; and is the welcome, win¬ 
ning introduction to the good cheer that is 
to follow. 
A short time ago we went to pay a former 
town friend a visit. He had removed out 
to a snug little farm, whore he could indulge 
his agricultural and horticultural tastes, yet 
still attend to his town engagements, and 
enjoy the quietude of the country. We 
rang the door bell. A servant admitted us; 
and leaving overcoat and hat in the hall, we 
entered a lone room, with an “air-tight” 
stove, looking as black and solemn as a Turk¬ 
ish eunuch upon us. and giving out about 
tho same degree of genial warmth as tho 
said eunuch would have expressed had he 
been there—an emasculated warming ma¬ 
chine truly ! On the floor was a Wilton car¬ 
pet, too fine to stand on; around the room 
were mahogany sofas and mahogany chairs, 
all too fine to sit on—at all events to rest 
one upon it he were fatigued. The blessed 
light of day Avas shut out by crimson and 
Avhite curtains, held up by gilded arrows ; 
and upon tho mantle piece, and on tho cen¬ 
ter and side tables were all sorts of gim- 
cracks, costly and worthless. In short, there 
was no comfort about the whole concern.— 
Hearing our friend coming up from his din¬ 
ing-room beloAv, where too. was his cellar 
kitchen —that most abominable of all appen¬ 
dages to a farm house, or to any other coun¬ 
try house, for that matter—Ave buttoned our 
coat up close and high, thrust our hands in- I 
to our pockets, and Avalked the room, as he ! 
entered. 
“ Glad to see you—glad to seo you, my 
friend 1” said he, in great joy; “ but dear me. 
why so buttoned up, as if you were going ? 
What’s the matter ?” 
“ Mv good sir,” we replied, “you asked us 
to come over and seo you, ‘ a plain farmer,’ 
and ‘ take a quiet family dinner with you.’ 
We have done so; and hero find you with all 
your tOAvn nonsense about you. "No fire to 
Avarm by; no seat to rest in; no nothing like 
a farm or farmer about you ; and it only j 
needs your charming better half, Avhom we 
always admired, when she lived in tOAvn, to 
take doAvn her enameled harp, and play 
‘ In fairy bowers by moonlight hours,’ 
to convince one that, instead of ruralizing in 
the country, you had gone a peg higher in 
town residence ! No, no, we’ll go down to 
farmer Jocelyn’s, our old schoolfellow, and 
take a dinner of bacon and cabbage with 
If he does occupy a one-story house, 
and Fanny, Patty’s tAvo rosy-cheeked daugh¬ 
ters. almost as pretty as their mother was at 
their own age, to knit a bead bag and work 
a fancy chair seat! And then we had ap¬ 
ples and nuts, all of the very best—for Joce¬ 
lyn Avas a rare hand at grafting and manag¬ 
ing his fruit trees, and knew the best apples 
all OA r er the country. We had, indeed, a 
capital time ! To cut the story short, the 
next spring our friend sent his fancy furni¬ 
ture to auction, and provided his house Avith 
simple cottage furnishings, at less than half 
the cost of the other; which both he and his 
Avife afterward declared Avas infinitely better, 
for all house-keeping purposes. He also 
threw a neat Aving on to the cottage, for an 
upper kitchen and its offices, and they now 
live like sensible country folks; and Avith 
their healthy, frolicksome children, are 
worth the envy of all the dyspeptic, town- 
fed people in existence. 
THE PARIS COMMISSIONAIRE. 
him. 
he lives up in sunshine, has an open fire 
place, Avith a blazing Avood fire on a chilly 
day, and his ‘latch string is always out.’ ” 
Our friend was petrified—astonished !— 
We meant to go it rather strong upon him, 
but still kept a frank, good-humored face, 
that showed him no malice. Ho began to 
think he Avas not exactly in character, and 
essayed to explain. We listened to his story. 
His good Avife came in, and altogether, avo 
had a long talk of tbeir family and farming 
arrangements; how they had furnished their 
house; and how they proposed to live; but 
wound up Avith a sad story, that their good 
farming neighbors did’nt call on them the 
second time—kind, civil people they appear¬ 
ed, too—and Avhile they Avere in, acted as 
though afraid to sit down, and afraid to stand 
up;—in short, they Avere dreadfully embar¬ 
rassed ; for why, our friends could’nt tell, but ' 
'now began to understand it. 
“Well, my good friends,” said we, “you : 
have altogether mistaken country life in the j 
outset. To live on a farm, it is neither ne- . 
ccssarv to be vulgar, nor clownish, nor to af- 1 
Sir Francis Head, av hose brilliant contri¬ 
butions to the London Quarterly have 
made him famous, has just produced a work 
Avith tho quaint title “ A Faggot of French 
Sticks,”from which we extract an interesting 
paragraph : 
In Paris this social luxury has been so ad 
mirably supplied, that, like iced water at Na¬ 
ples, the community could nowjjhardly ex¬ 
ist without it- Accordingly, at the inter¬ 
section of almost all the principal streets, 
there is posted by the police ari intelligent, 
respectable-looking man—there are about 
12.000 of them—cleanly dressed in blue vel¬ 
veteen trowsers and a blue corduroy jacket, 
on tho breast of Avhich is affixed a brass tick¬ 
et, invariably forfeited by misconduct, bear¬ 
ing his occupation and number. The duties 
of this commissionaire are not only, at vari¬ 
ous fixed prices, to go messages in any direc¬ 
tion. and at determined rates to perform in¬ 
numerable other useful services, but ho is 
especially directed to assist aged and infirm 
people of both sexes crossing streets crowd¬ 
ed with carriages, and to give strangers 
avIio may enquire their Avay every possible 
assistance. The luxury of living, wherever 
you may happen to lodge, within conve¬ 
nient reach of a person of this description, 
is very great. For instance, within fifty 
yards of my lodging there Avas an active, 
honest, intelligent, dark, blue-eyed fellow* 
who Avas to me a living book of useful knowl¬ 
edge. Crumpling up the newspaper he was 
usually reading, he could, in the middle of 
a paragraph, and at a moment’s notice, get 
me any sort of a carriage, recommend me to 
every description of shop, tell me the color 
of the omnibus I Avanted, where I was to 
find it, where I was to leave it, how* I ought 
to dress to go here, there, or any Avhere; 
Avhat was done in the House of Assembly 
last night, Avho spoke best, w*hat Avas said in 
his speech, and what the Avorld thought of 
things in general. 
GRAVE OF WASHINGTON’S MOTHER. 
In 1832, an attempt was made to erect a 
suitable monument over the grave of “Mary, 
the Mother of Washington.” Gen. Jack- 
son and many other distinguished gentle¬ 
men, attended and took part in the ceremo¬ 
nies of laying the corner stone. Mrs. Sig¬ 
ourney Avrote a beautiful poem for the occa¬ 
sion, and the President delivered an eloquent 
and appropriate address. Twenty years have 
passed aAvay, and the paragraph beloAv will 
show the progress of tne work during that 
period : 
“ A correspondent of the Low’ell Courier, 
Avriting from Virginia, says that while in 
Fredericksburg, which was for somo time 
the residence of Washington while a young 
man and where he was made a mason, ho 
had tho curiosity to examine the house in 
which Washington lived. It is a spacious 
brick edifice in most excellent order, and 
though untenanted now*, bids fair, with prop¬ 
er oversight to last for many years. The 
ceiling and walls are adorned with excellent 
stucco Avork, the stairways wide and the halls 
very commodious. Back of the house is the 
grave of Washington’s mother; which is in 
a sadly neglected and dilipadated condition 
For some reason or other, it neA'er Avas fin- 
foct ignorance. Simplicity is all you require, ; ished, a part of the marble lying in a rough 
in manners, and equal simplicity in your 
furniture and appointments. Now just turn 
all this nonsense in furniture and room 
state not ten feet from tho foundation on 
which it should rest, and thus in the very 
birth State of the immortal Washington, 
dressing out of doors, and lot somo of your constant dishonor and disrespect are shoAvn

When we are alone avo have our thoughts 
to watch; in our families our tempers, and 
in society our tongues. 
Take away the feeling that each man 
must depend upon himself, and he relaxes 
his diligence. 
town friends have it. Get somo simple, com¬ 
fortable, cottage furniture, much better for 
all purposes, than this, and you will settle 
down into quiet, natural country life before 
you are aware of it, and all will go ‘merry 
as a marriage bell’ with you, in a littlo time” 
—for they both loved the country, and Avere 
truly excellent people. We continued, “I 
came to spend the day and the night, and I 
will stay; and this evening we’ll go down to 
your neighbor Jocelyn’s; and you, Mrs. N., 
shall go with us; and we will sec Iioav quiet¬ 
ly and comfortably ho and his family take 
the Avorld in a farmer’s way.” 
We did go; not in a carriage and livery; 
but walked the pleasant half mile that lay 
between them; the exercise of which gave 
us all activity and good spirits. Jocelyn was 
right glad to see us, and Patty, his staid and 
sober wife, with whom Ave had romped many 
an innocent hour in our childhood days, was 
quite as glad as ho. But they looked a little 
surprised that such “great folks” as their 
now neighbors, should drop in so uncere¬ 
moniously, and into their common “ keeping 
room,” too, to chat away an evening. IIow- 
evor, the embarrassment soon wore off. We 
talked of farming; we talked of the late 
elections; we talked of tho fruit trees and 
the strawberry beds; and Mrs. Jocelyn, who 
was a pattern of good house-keeping, told 
Mrs. N-how she made her apple jellies, 
and her currant tarts, and cream cheeses; 
and before wo left they had exchanged ever 
so many engagements,—Mrs. Patty to learn 
her new friend to do half a dozen nice little 
matters of household pickling and preserv¬ 
ing ; while she, in turn, was to teach Nancy 
to the sacred ashes of his mother,

A LESSON FOR THOSE WHO SCOLD. 
“ And I dare say you have scolded your 
wife very often, Newman,” said I once. 
Old Newman looked down, and his wife 
looked up to reply— 
“ Never to signify—and if he has I de¬ 
serve it!” 
“ And I dare say, if tho truth Avere told, 
you have scolded him quite as often.” 
“ Nay,” said tho old Avoman, Avith a beau¬ 
ty of kindness which all the poetry in the 
Avorld cannot excel. “ How can a Avife scold 
her good man, who has been working for 
her and her littlo ones all tho day ? It may 
do for a man to be peevish, for it is ho who 
bears the crosses of tho Avorld, but avIio 
should make him forget them but his own 
wife ? And she had best for her own sake, 
for nobody can scold much Avhen the scold¬ 
ing is all on one side.” * 
Contentment produces in somo measure 
all those great effects which the alchemist 
usually ascribes to what he calls the philos¬ 
opher’s stone; and if it does not bring riches, 
it does the same thing by banishing the de¬ 
sire of them. If it cannot remove the dis¬ 
quietudes arising from a man’s mind, body 
or fortune, it makes him easy under them.—
