PICTURES OF MEMORY.. 
BY ALICE CAREY. 
A mono the beautiful pictures 
That liant,' on Memory’s wall r 
Is one of a dim old forest. 
That seemeth best of all: 
Not for its garnered oaks oldeiT r 
Dark with the mistletoe; 
Nor for the violets golden 
That sprinkle the vale below; 
Nor for the mild-white lilies 
That lean from the fragrant hedge. 
Coquetting all day with the sunbeams,. 
And stealing their golden edge; 
Not for the vines on the upland- 
Where the bright red berries rest. 
Nor the pinks, nor the pale sweet cowsilp. 
It seemeth to the best. 
I once had a little brother. 
With eyes that were dark and deep— 
In the lap of that old dim forest 
He lietli in peace asleep r 
Light as the down of thistle; 
Free as the winds that blow, 
We roved there the beautiful summers, 
The summers of long ago; 
Hut his feet on the hills grew weary, 
And, one of the autumn eves, 
I made for my little brother 
A lied of the yellow leaves^ 
Sweetly his pale arms folded 
My neck in a meek embrace. 
As the light of immortal beauty 
Silently covered his face : 
And when the arrows of sunset 
Lodged in the tree-tops bright,. 
He fell, in his saint-like beauty. 
Asleep by the gates of light. 
Therefore, of all the pictures 
Thar hang on Memory's wall. 
The one of the dim old forest 
Seemeth the best of all. 
THE DAWN OF SPRING- 
MODEL PEOPLE. 
Fanny Fern, a “model” correspondent 
J of the Boston Olive Branch,—whose contri- 
! butions from week to week, abound now 
j with gravity and anon with most pointed 
! wit and sarcasm, and who discourses alike 
| lucidly upon subjects “grave and gay, lively 
| and serene”—thus delineates certain models, 
j Wo suppose the “ scene ” is laid in the. 
I “ Athens of America,” but the characters 
j may possibly exist also in other localities: 
The Model Minister. —He never ex- 
! changes. Is not particular whether he oc¬ 
cupies a four story house or a ten-footer for 
a parsonage. Considers “ donation parties” 
an invention of the adversary; preaches 
round and round the commandments in 
. such a circular way as not to hit the pecul- 
iar-isticks of any of his parishioners. Se- 
SINGULAR COMBAT. 
Desirous of seeing a combat between a 
snake and its inveterate enemy, the mun- 
gooze, an animal somewhat similar to the 
ichneumon of Egypt,I requested the charm¬ 
er to exhibit a fight of the kind. lie instant¬ 
ly consented, as these men generally carry 
snakes and mungoozes with them, and led 
us out into the compound, a field which is 
attached to almost every house in the can¬ 
tonment. 
Having expressed our fears that some one 
in the party might be injured by the reptile, 
he proposed that the exhibition should take 
place under an enormous pheasant coop of 
worked wire which stood unused in the 
court-yard. This arrangement was acceded 
to, and, at our suggestion, the first snake ta¬ 
ken in the morning was selected for the en¬ 
counter.

No Ling's so hard, hut search will find it out.”

stead of himself; never forgets when ex¬ 
cited in debate, that pulpit cushions are ex¬ 
pensive articles. Visits all his people once 
a month, and receives their visits whenever 
they choose to inflict ’em; brings forth 
things “new and old” every Sunday, more 
particularly, new. Knows by intuition, at a 
funeral, the state of mind of every distant 
relative of the deceased, and always hits the 
right nail on the head fn his prayer. When 
he baptises a girl, never afflicts the anxious 
mother by pronouncing Louisa, Louizy !— 
Frowns upon all attempts to get him a new 
cloak; looks upon “ bronchitis, throat com¬ 
plaints,” and "journeys to Europe.” as mod¬ 
ern humbugs; never wears a better coat 
than any of his parishioners. Submits his 
private personal expenses to a committee of 
the greatest dunderheads in his congrega¬

meekness of Moses—the constitution of an 
elephant—and lives on two hundred

In a moment after, the snake, a cobra capel- 
la, the most poisonous and deadly of the . „ , . , „ „ , . 
serpent tribe, darted out. The kedgegry riend at Trumansburgh, N. Y authorizes 
pot was then taken away, and the edges of us t0 °® er Bural one year to the person, re-

but, finding this impossible, he most philo¬ 
sophically coiled himself up; freeing how¬ 
ever, his magnificent head from the fold, 
and remaining in a listening attitude. 
Presently the man produced the mun- 
gooze, and let him at his adversary. Never 
was I so astonished. This was the first time 
I had seen a mungooze, and I expected to 
see a somewhat powerful opponent. Never 
could I have fancied that so .small an ani¬ 
mal would venture to cope with serpents of 
the largest and deadliest kind. Such, how¬ 
ever. was the case. The little creature who

New-York State Agricultural Society’s 
FIRST PREMIUM 
RAILROAD HORSE PiHVI It. 
T HE above justly celebrated Powers as now made and 
sold by the subscribers, are oli'ered the public will) the 
assurance that they are ail they are represented—tliey hav¬ 
ing been very extensively and thoroughly introduced and 
tested, side by side, with all the tread powers known, of 
any note in the 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 the 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 & 
Co’s, first with the owners and makers, and heard all tlicv 
could say, and again in their absence—and theresult 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 as you have 
won the laurels fairly, it is just that you should receive a 
full reward.” 
He further says—“You know from experience that I 
have no sort of partiality for your establishment, and as a 
committee-man of said Society for years, 1 have decided 
against you oftener than for you; and if others have a bet¬ 
ter article than you, 1 would decide in their favor, if the 
decision ruined your establishment, and vice versa, hurt 
who it may.” 
With the testimony of such men as the author of the 
loregoing, 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 siqierior machine.
