SONG TO SPRING. 
Are :— ,l Do they miss me at forme.' ' 
Thou art welcome, fair Spring, with thy sunshine, 
With thy clouds, and thy oft gentle showers, 
That unlock the ice-fettered rivers, 
And cover their hanks with sweet flowers. 
O’er the earth, long exposed to the bleak winds, 
Thou throw’st the grass as a screen ; 
On the trees, that were naked and leafless, 
Thou bestow’sta mantle of green. 
From the young thou recei v’st a welcome : 
For the drear scenes of winter ill-mate 
With the fresh, glowing pictures which fancy 
And hope, ever active, create. 
By the old thou art heartily welcom’d, 
As a semblance ef earlier days, 
When the heartstrings were chorded to pleasure, 
And vibrated quickly to praise. 
In the hearts of tl*> poor and the needy, 
Who have striven ’gainst hunger and cold, 
Thou reviv’st thehopes almost banished, 
And awakenost joys manifold. 
Then we’ll sing while thou reign’st so mildly, 
And rejoice at the change thou hast wrought. 
For thou’st vanquish’d the tyrant, old winter, 
And much to our happiness brought.

A STRAY LEAF 
FROM THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A SEAMSTRESS. 
BY WM. K. C. KNOWLES. 
“ 0, but for one short hour I 
A respite however brief ! 
No blessed leisure for love or hope, 
But only time for grief! 
A little weeping would ease my heart, 
But in their briny bed 
My tears must stop, for every drop 
Hinders my needle and my thread I” 
Pekhaps it may be thought unnecessary, by 
some, to again repeat the old story of the 
needle, and its attending sufferings ; and more 
especially to head the repetition with an ex¬ 
tract from Hood’s threadbare “Song of the 
Shirt.” Yet, speaking from my own individ¬ 
ual experience, that song is not unlike a piece 
of old brass—the more the friction, the bright¬ 
er it shines! When the wrongs are redressed 
which inspired that effusion, it will no longer 
be necessary to keep it in remembrance. 
I can well recollect the first time that my 
mother and myself applied for work at the 
counter of a large retail clothing store. It 
was during a year succeeding one of the great¬ 
est commercial revulsions that ever stunned 
the mercantile world. Previous to that time, 
we had been a family of supposed wealth; 
yet our riches were not as wingless, but that 
they might have been more so; and their 
flight was as sudden as unexpected. My fath¬ 
er, for some time before in the hist stages of 
consumption, died soon after, and my mother 
sought employment at once, for stern necessity 
urged us away from grief and tears, to hard 
and unremitting labor. Several avenues of 
toil were searched, hut without success. As a 
last resort, we solicited employment at the 
counter of a merchant-tailor, and were fur¬ 
nished with a half-dozen fine shirts, and a 
dozen coarse ones, to make at starvation prices. 
To prove that such was the case, let me enter 
into a more minute detail. 
Of the two classes of shirt-sewers, my mother 
represents one, and I the other. That is, she 
did the fine sewing and I the coarse. Had I 
spent more time, during our prosperity, in 
learning to sew with neatness and dispatch, it 
would have availed me more than proficiency 
in music and embroidery. But it was no time 
then to repine, and I set about learning with 
a willing and teachable spirit. We only need 
to change places in the world, to correct many 
of our false ideas of life. The fine shirts were 
to be made in the best style, and which style 
required about eighteen or twenty yards of fine 
sewing and stitching. It took my mother a 
trifle over two days to complete such a one.— 
Two weeks of ceaseless labor were spent on 
that half-dozen shirts, and yet the remunera¬ 
tion was only seven dollars and a half; and 
that, too, when bread, and fuel, and rent, were 
alarmingly high. 
The amount which I received for my sewing 
ran even behind this, although I finished two, 
and sometimes a part of the third shirt, in a 
day. And yet when I took them back to the 
store, and told my employer that I could take 
no more home to make at those prices, I was 
coldly answered, that the rate of my wages, 
by hundreds of others, was considered good 
pay. I left the store with tears in my eyes, 
as I suppose the “hundreds of others” had 
done before me. When I reached home I sat 
down to think. I was willing to work, but 
not without a corresponding remuneration. I 
considered my labor worth more than a dollar 
and a half a week, and resolved on bringing 
home no more coarse sewing. 
“Mother,” I said, as we drew up around 
our supper-table, “it is evident that I must 
bring home no more coarse sewing ; and I 
think I can suggest a better plan. You must 
bring home the next time double the amount 
of fine sewing, and I will do the plain work, 
and you the stitching.” We tried this meth¬ 
od, and I was a little better paid than before. 
I made the bodies, done the gathering, and 
sowed on the buttons; while my mother 
stitched the bosoms, wrists and collars, worked 
the button-holes, and gave the whole a finish¬ 
ing touch. 
In this way the days were numbered to 
weeks, and the weeks to months. The winter 
wore so slowly away, that it seemed as if it 
never would be spring. Over exertion had 
prostrated my mother with a protracted illness, 
and want and suffering stared us in the face. 
Even work was scarce, and wages at the same 
low rate. Labor as I would, from ten to four¬ 
teen hours a day, and then sit up four and five 
hours in addition, to wait upon my mother, I 
could not earn enough to purchase the neces¬ 
saries of life. Every valuable souvenir of better 
days had gone for food and fire, and nothing 
remained. I looked over my trinkets again 
and again, in the hope that some stray coin, 
or ring, would greet my sight, hut as often 
closed my drawer, and sat down to cry. No 
wonder that I gave up in despair—no money, 
nor food, nor fire ; my mother sick, and rent 
unpaid. 
My dear old friend and school-mate, Emily 
Clinton, went South the year before my father 
failed,and knew nothing of our present distress. 
Had she been made acquainted with the exist¬ 
ing state of affairs, I should long before have 
received a tangible proof of her unwavering 
friendship. Foolish girl that I was, not to 
have corresponded regularly with my best 
friend. And then her brother George, too, 
manifested an interest in my welfare which 1 
sometimes thought was more than mere friend¬ 
ship. The last letter which I received from 
Emily was little more than a severe reprimand 
for my brevity and reserve. In conclusion, 
she thought it would be advisable for her to 
come and ascertain the cause. I almost feared 
she would, for George would of course accom¬ 
pany her, and thus see the humiliating descent 
that our family had taken since their departure. 
0, pride ! 0, poverty!— how galling when 
allied! 
During my mother’s sickness, I had fallen 
back upon coarse sewing again. It was on one 
Saturday afternoon that I started for the store 
of my employer, with a dozen finished shirts. 
While on the way, 1 was told that prices had 
taken a serious downward tendency during the 
week. I entered the store with a palpitating 
heart, for I had been so thoughtless as to have 
no price named lor the last sewing I had taken 
home. I laid my bundle on the counter, and 
the clerk examined it as critically as usual.— 
Then hanging them carelessly across the show- 
frame, he drew out the money-drawer and 
counted out the amount which was due—and, 
reader, it was one dollar and twenty cents !—ten 
cents a piece for making shirts in the best man¬ 
ner ! My heart was too full to speak—I burst 
into tears! I could not help it, even though 
it concentrated the rude gaze of the idlers upon 
myself. As 1 turned quickly away, 1 caught a 
glimpse of a gentleman, muffled in furs, bend¬ 
ing forward to catch a second look at me—our 
eyes met—I had a faint recollection of having 
seen him before. I hurried home, and wept in 
the bitterness of grief. My eyes were still red 
with weeping, when I heard a hesitating rap 
at the door. I opened it, and a lady and gen¬ 
tleman stood upon the threshold. 
“ Emily Clinton,—Claka,” said the lady, as 
she rushed towards me, and threw her arms 
around my neck. It was indeed my old friend 
and school-mate, returned, in company with 
her brother, from a Southern tour. As Emily 
unclasped her arms from my neck, George 
stepped forward and grasped my hand cordially 
and feelingly. In his gaze there was an ex¬ 
pression of tenderness, which was more than 
kindness. I think I blushed some, but thought 
perhaps it was unnoticed by them. 
From that time forward my mother and my¬ 
self have wanted nothing which money could 
procure— George claiming it as his perogative 
to furnish his mother-in-law with a home, 
and home comforts, as well as one for her 
daughter. I look back upon that year of suf¬ 
fering and toil, when the needle was our only 
means of support, as a dark chapter in the 
history of life. Its experiences are not without 
a lasting benefit, and no applicant for needle¬ 
work shall solicit employment at my door and 
be turned away unsupplied, nor be compelled 
to labor for a mere song. 
ASA AND IRA. 
Asa and Ira were two brothers, whose farms 
lay side by side in a fertile intervale. 
When the corn, the oats and the barley 
were springing up, the weeds took advantage 
of the rich soil and came up with them. 
“ Do you see,” said Asa, “ what a hold the 
weeds arc taking ? There is danger of their 
choking out the crops entirely.” 
“ Well, well we must be resigned,” replied 
Ira ; “ weeds as well as grain were a part of 
the Creator’s plan, and there is no use in mur¬ 
muring about them.” 
And he laid down for his usual afternoon 
doze. 
“ 1 can only be resigned to what 1 can’t 
help,” said Asa. Ro lie went to work and 
plowed and hoed until his fields were clear of 
weeds. 
“ The army worms are in the neighbor¬ 
hood,” said Asa to Ira one day. 
“ They have eaten through the adjoining 
meadows, and are moving towards ns.” 
“ Ah,” exclaimed Ira, “ they will surely de¬ 
stroy what the weeds have not choked out.— 
I will immediately retire to pray that their 
course may be stopped or turned aside.” 
But Asa replied, “ I pray betimes every 
morning, for strength to do the work of the 
day.” 
And he hastened to dig a trench round his 
land, which the army-worms could not pass— 
while Ira returned only in season to save a 
small portion of his crops from their ravages. 
“ l)o you see, Ira?” said Asa, another 
morning, “ the river is risiDg very fast. There 
is but a slender chance of preventing our 
farms from being overflowed.” 
“Alas! it is a judgment upon us for our 
sins, and what can we do?” cried Ira, throw¬ 
ing himself in despair upon the ground. 
“ There are no judgments so severe as 
those which our own sloth brings upon us,” 
replied Asa. 
And he went quickly and hired workmen, 
with whose help he raised an embankment that 
withstood the Hood, while Ira witnessed with 
blank looks and folded hands the destruction 
of his harvest. 
“ There is one consolation,” said he, “ my 
children, at least, are left me.” 
But while Asa’s sons grew up strong and 
virtuous men, among Ira’s there was a drunk¬ 
ard, a gambler and a suicide. 
“ The ways of the Lord are not equal,” 
complained Ira to his brother. “ Why are 
you always prospered, while I am afflicted, 
and my old age disgraced ?” 
“ 1 only know this,” replied Asa, “ that 
Heaven has always helped me to treat the 
faults of my children as I did the weeds, the 
caterpillars and the flood ; and that 1 have 
never presumed to send a petition upward 
without making Toil, my right-hand servant, 
the messenger of my prayer.” —Lucy Larcom.

THE MARE’S NEST. 
BY JONATHAN PUNCH. 
This is Sebastopol. 
This is the nest that lay at Sebastopol. 
This is the Turkey all forlorn, 
That made the nest that lay at Sebastopol, 
This is the Mare awake at morn. 
That kicked the Turkey all forlorn, 
That made the nest that lay at Sebastopol. 
This is the Bull with a Coburg horn, 
That gored the Mare awake at morn, 
That kicked the Turkey all forlorn, 
That made the nest that lay at Sebastopol. 
This is the Cock of his uncle born, 
That crowed for the Bull with a Coburg horn, 
That gored tho Maro awake at morn, 
That kicked the Turkey all forlorn, 
That made the nest that lay at Sebastopol. 
This is the Eagle all Hung(a)ry torn, 
That screamed for the Cock of his uncle born, 
That crowed for the Bull with a Coburg horn, 
That gored the Mare awake at morn. 
That kicked the Turkey all forlqm, 
That made the nest that lay at Sebastopol. 
This is the Bear with a growl of scorn, 
That growled at the Eagle ail Hung(a)ry torn, 
And bit the Cock of his uncle horn, 
And chased the Bull with a Coburg horn, 
Into the sea all worried and worn, 
And swallowed the Turkey all forlorn, 
That made the nest that lay at Sebastopol. 
WONDERFUL DISCOVERY. 
Something" wonderful is constantly turning 
up. Sometimes it is a big lump of gold, and 
sometimes it is a big egg; at one time it is a 
Maine giantess, and then again it is four ba¬ 
bies at a birth ! The latest marvel is a sort 
of geological pair, a man and a woman of 
stone, or rather a couple of petrifactions, re¬ 
cently unearthed in Venango Co., Pa. The 
man is a rare specimen! He has a quartz 
and gneiss head, a sandstone body, and car¬ 
boniferous or slaty feet! It is presumed he 
has “ a heart of flint” and “ a soul of ada¬ 
mant.” Doubtless he is one of the New York 
“ hards,” of the “ adamantine” sort, whom re¬ 
cent events had driven into the ground! 
The Cincinnati Columbian is very proud of 
this hard case. It expects to smash geology 
all to pieces with him. Perhaps it will, but 
we are not yet quite prepared to fall down 
and worship such a graven image. We can 
have no respect for a man with carboniferous 
feet; he must belong to the Fern family. As 
for liis quartz head, it is plain none but a bib¬ 
ulous fellow could have one of such dimen¬ 
sions. He is evidently not a Maine Law man, 
and therefore cannot expect to be popular 
down east. 
Adolphus gets Inspired. — “Dearest, I 
will build thee a cot all covered with ivy, in 
some secluded vale, close by a purling brook, 
meandering over its pebbly bottom, incessant¬ 
ly babbling in dulcet tinkling strains ‘ love, 
love, love,’ where the atmosphere is redolent 
of soothing, spicy Aromas, that make the 
eyes languish, and the heart dissolve in the 
liquid fires of love—where the balmy morn¬ 
ing zephyrs sigh in the dense forest’s leafy 
maze, chanting love’s melody—where the tiny 
songsters, that whirl in ethereal space, warble 
! naught but love. I will plant thee a garden 
of gorgeous loveliness, culled from nature’s 
most ardent designs, warmest tints, and sweet 
smelling incense.” 
“ Dolphy, dear, don’t forget to leave a patch 
for cowcnmbcrs, and inyuns,—they’re so nice 
pickled.” 
“ Father, did you ever have another wife 
besides mother?” “ No, my hoy ; what pos¬ 
sesses you to ask such a question?” “Be¬ 
cause I saw in the old family Bible where you 
married Anna Dominy, 1838 ; and that isn’t 
mother, for her name is Sally Smith.” 
A lady, on being asked to join the Daugh¬ 
ters of Temperance, replied that &he intended 
to join one of the Sons in the course of the 
week. 
A little minx boasted to one of her little 
friends that “ her father kept a carriage.”— 
“Ah! but,” was the triumphant reply, “my 
father drives an omnibus !”

NEW CROP OF SEEDS. 
FOR THE SPRING OF 1855. 
Thk old and woll known ROCHESTER SEED STORE, for 
tho last ten years managed by the subscriber, has been 
removed from 29 Buffalo stroet to 84 Exchange street, 
two doors above tho Clinton Hotel. 
Claiming to know, from experience, something of the 
value to the grower, of good, fresh seeds, as well as the 
necessity of having such kinds as will give the greatest 
and best return to labor, this branch of the Seed busi¬ 
ness has received special attention, and purchasers may 
rely on correctness. Our motto is “ never knowingly to 
deceive a customer.” 
It is our intention to keep all the varieties of Soeds de¬ 
sirable to be grown in the Northern States. 
Fife’s or Scotch Spring Wheat, grown in Canada; may¬ 
be sown as late as the middle of May. Good crops were 
grown from this variety last year in Monroe County. 
Osage Oraugo, Flower Seeds, Bird Cages, Bird Seed, 
&c. Ordors by mail promptly attended to.
