A SONG OF HOME. 
BY ROBERT 1). KNOWLES. 
They may talk to me of tUe sunny spot, 
Where the storms of Winter cometh not ; 
Of the tropic sweets, and tiie orange trees. 
Which are swayed at will by the gentle breeze. 
They may tell us too of the flowers there, 
Eclipsing in glory the cowslips rare; 
Of the glassy lakes in whose placid breast, 
The departing sun slowly sinks to rest. 
They may talk, and sing, of such charms as these, 
Of the tiopic sweets, and the Summer breeze ; 
But never shall I thus be tempted to roam, 
From the spot that nature has called my home. 
I but wish to live, and to be content, 
In the home of my youth, with a life well spent; 
And to learn at last, from the angel of death, 
Tha; the glory of life is a life-time of faith I

DO GOOD TO OTHERS'. 
A TALE FOR YOUNG AND OLD. 
“Philip, cousin Philip! don’t!” 
The speaker was a little girl, scarcely five 
years old, who was sitting on a stone step of a 
farm house door, watching very intently the 
motions of a boy four or five years older than 
herself And what was Philip Dale doing?— 
Why, he had found a poor little stray kitten, 
which had wandered into the court-yard, and 
boy-like was driving it hither and thither, 
shouting, throwing sticks and pebbles at it, 
while the hunted and terrified little creature 
ran one way and another, mewing piteously, 
and every sound went to the heart of the com¬ 
passionate little child who heard it At last 
she could endure it no longer; and running to 
her cousin, with eyes filled with tears, and a 
voice which trembled from its very earnestness, 
repeated, 
“ Dou’t, Philip, it is God’s kitty.” 
The boy stopped, and looked in her face in 
amazement; then suddenly seized the fugitive, 
which had taken refuge in a tree, he laid it 
gently in the child’s arms, and saying, “there’s 
your kitten, Clara,” he turned and left the 
yard. Little Clara ran back into the house, 
showed her treasure to aunt and sister Fanny, 
and asked and obtained permission to keep it. 
Fanny kindly took upon herself the office of 
making it clean. She softly washed off the 
dirt, brushed the fur dry, and brought from 
the kitchen a saucer of milk to feed it; and in 
no long time the kitten was lying contentedly 
in Clara’s lap purring loudly, and quite as hap¬ 
py as the little girl herself- 
Nothing was scon of Philip till dinner time, 
and when he came in he cast a sly glance at 
Clara’s new pet, as ii he almost feared it would 
complain of him. But he was safe from any 
reproof save that of his own conscience; for 
kitten could not tell, Clara would not, and no 
one else knew anything of the matter. After 
dinner he tried to make friends with Clara, by 
offering the kitten some bits of meat, which 
she took very gladly, and lapped his hands in 
gratitude, while Clara looked up with a face 
so bright and smiling, it was plain she had for 
gotten the affa'r of the morning. Philip set off 
for school, and seeing a robin, picked up a 
stone to throw at it, when a sudden thought 
checked him, and the stone fell from his hand. 
“ I suppose Clara would say that is God’s 
robin too,” he said half aloud; “and the squir¬ 
rels and the cows, and everything else. What 
a queer little thing she is! won’t even kill a fly, 
because she says she couldu’t make it alive 
again if she should.” 
And he went on pondering the matter. He 
was not a cruel boy naturally. He loved his 
parents and his gentle little cousin dearly; and 
no one could be kinder to the horse, and the 
fowls, and his dog Bruno, than was Philip 
Dale. But he had learned from his compan¬ 
ions, the wicked habit of tormenting animals 
for sport, without giving a thought to the pain 
he was inflicting; and though his mother’s soft 
“ Don’t do so, my son,” always stopped him for 
a time, she was not always "present when he 
was indulging himself in such amusements.— 
Not one word said Philip of the subject which 
had occupied his thoughts all day, until eve¬ 
ning when Fanny had gone to put Clara to 
bed, and all was quiet. Then he came to his 
mother and laying his head in her lap, and 
looking up into her clear loving eyes, told her 
of his conduct in the morning, and of Clara’s 
entreaty. And Mrs. Dale entering with ready 
sympathy into her boy’s thoughts and feelings, 
conversed with him about the animals, and his 
duties to them, and so deepened the impression 
on his mind, that Philip resolved never again 
to ill-treat any animal; and he kept his resolu¬ 
tion, too. 
Some months after, when Clara had been 
for some time at her city home, Mr. Dale ask¬ 
ed Philip one bright morning if he could go 
to town for him to do some errands. They 
lived within two or three miles of the town, 
and it was by no means a long walk for a 
healthy, active boy, and Philip joyfully consent¬ 
ed to the proposal. He took his basket and 
went merrily on, whistling the prettiest he 
knew, and speaking with the numerous acquain¬ 
tances he met, and in good time reached his 
destination. As he went forward he chanced 
to spy a boy whom he knew, cruelly beating a 
dog, which howled with pain, Philip crossed 
the street. 
“What is the matter, Jerry?” he asked, 
“what has Ponto been doing.” 
Jerry glanced round at him; but Philip’s 
pleasant face and kind tone di.-armed his anger, 
and he answered rather sullenly, 
“ He stole my breakfast, and I’ll punish him 
for it” 
And he raised his stick again, but Philip 
caught his arm. 
“I wouldn’t beat him, Jerry, he was hungry, 
poor fellow, and didn’t know he was getting 
your breakfast. Here’s a nice luncheon moth¬ 
er gave me, take it, Jerry, for I had m\ break¬ 
fast long ago; and don’t beat Ponto any more. 
He is one of God’s creatures, you know, and 
we must not abuse them.” 
Jerry hesitated, took the offered gift and be¬ 
gan to eat; for, as Phillip suspected, he was as 
hungry as the dog; and after a minute he 
stooped down, and patting the poor creature 
shared his meal with him; while his young 
friend, pleased to see if, ran merrily on to do 
his errands in town, without giving a thought 
to the loss of his luncheon. Philip little knew 
how much good he had done. While lie talk¬ 
ed with Jerry, two men passed in different di¬ 
rections; one a ragged looking man, with a 
face bearing the marks of intemperance; the 
other, handsomely dressed, with a pleasant, 
open countenance, and cheerful smile. This 
was Frank Howard, a thriving young merchant; 
the other was Joe Dennis, a poor laborer, who 
made himself still poorer by wasting his earn¬ 
ings in liquor. Howard glanced at the man as 
he passed with disgust and scorn; and Dennis, 
on liis part, looked at the young merchant with 
despairing envy. 
“ I might have been as well off as he, per¬ 
haps,” was his thought; “his father and mine 
were schoolmates and playfellows once: but it’s 
no use now.” 
It was just as they met and passed each oth¬ 
er, at the very spot where the boys were 
talking, that Philip had said the last words to 
Jerry. 
“ One of God’s creatures,” repeated Howard, 
involuntarily turning to look after the drunk¬ 
ard. “One of my brethren, then; can I do 
nothing to save him?” One instant he hesitat¬ 
ed and then slowly followed Dennis. 
“ One of Cod’s creatures,” said poor Joe to 
himself. “ Well, I suppose I’m that, only no 
one seems to think so; and why should they; 
I’m worse than that brute, for I take the food 
from my wife and children.” He paused! for 
he was close by a dram shop, where he had too 
often stopped. 
“No Iivon't!" he said energetically: “I’ll 
try once more to leave off. One of Cod’s 
creatures? If he takes care of the dumb beast 
why shouldn’t he of us? I don’t know who 
else will.” 
Joe marched on with a firmer step, for his 
resolve to do right had given him courage, and 
soon reached his wretched home. Mrs. Den¬ 
nis looked up, hastily, one or two children 
glanced timidly at their father. 
“I haven’t taken a drop to-day, Martha,” 
said he, “and by Cod’s help, I won’t again.— 
Here, Joey, take this fourpence and get a loaf 
of bread.” Mi’s. Dennis too happy to speak, 
could only throw her arms around her hus¬ 
band’s neck and cry. “ Don’t, Martha, don’t,” 
said the poor man. “ You’ve nothing to be so 
glad about; for that’s the last cent I’ve got in 
the world, and 1 dou’t know where the next 
will come from. Ah, yes!” answering her bro¬ 
ken words, “it’s easy for you to say, ‘Trust in 
lliu LiUiU,' Aji \ <_»u.Vo a, >Yoraau, but it ien’t 
so easy for me.” 
Just then a knock was heard at the door, 
and Frank Howard walked in. “Does not 
Joseph Dennis live here,” he asked. “Are you 
at liberty to-day, Mr. Deimis, and could you do 
some jobs at my store? The man I have here¬ 
tofore employed has left town, and I must get 
some one to supply his place. Will you come 
to-day and try? Perhaps we may make some 
agreement?” 
Poor Joe Dennis! he almost worshipped 
Howard as an augel from heaven. He looked 
one way and another, and finally burst into 
tears. 
“ I’ll come, Mr. Howard. I'll comej it’s very 
good of you, for there isn’t many who would 
employ a drunkard like me; but I mean to be 
sober in future. I was just telling Martha that 
I could get no work, and we’d got to starve, 
may be; and she, good soul, said the Lord 
would provide. I believe, Mr. Howard, Cod > 
sent you to us just now.” 
“1 have no doubt he did.” answered Howard 
gravely, who having followed Dennis, had heard , 
and seen all that had passed before he entered, j 
Mr. Deimis, if you will go to rnv store, and sav l 
to my clerk, Mr. Reid, that 1 sent you, he will j 
employ you; and I will be there directly, my-; 
self.” And as soon as Dennis had left the ■ 
house, the young merchant turned to the hap- j 
py, weeping wife, and putting five dollars into j 
her hand, bade her to regard it as a gift from 
heaven, and provide what she most needed, ad¬ 
ding with a smile, “ Your husband will return 1 
hungry, no doubt; I should advise you to have ( 
a good dinner ready.” 
We need hardly to say that this advice Mas 
followed; and that Dennis found a smoking 
dinner on the table when he returned at noon. 
But it may be necessary to add, that their new 
friend kept Joe in his employ, and aided his 
efforts at amendment, until, in a few years, the 
neat, nice dwelling, and comfortable, happy 
looking family which Dennis eagerly sought af¬ 
ter his day’s labors, bore but slight resemblance 
to a cheerless hovel, and pale, starving faces he 
had left. Nor was this all. Frank Howard 
having once tasted the pleasures of benevo¬ 
lence, could not resign the luxury of being the 
dispenser of God’s bounty to others. And 
many were the hearts cheered, many the homes 
preserved, many characters saved from ruin, by 
his kindly and unsought assistance. He sought 
no public notice of his good deeds; he was 
pleased to labor in secret. But Philip Dale 
often wondered why Mr. Howard always spoke 
so kindly to him, and invited him so frequently 
to his pleasant house. Philip never suspected 
that his kind care for a suffering animal had 
been the means of saving many human beings 
from worse suffering, and just as little did 
Clara think when she played with her kitten 
Friskie, now grown quite a cut, that her com¬ 
passionate pleading for her was the first link 
in a loug chain of benevolent actions. Only 
believe that no good word or deed is ever lost; 
and, in his own good time, Cod will make it 
bring forth rich fruit. 
Hatred is so durable and so obstinate, that 
reconciliation on a sick bed is the sweetest 
sign of death.— Bruyere. 
DRIVES AND STREETS OF PARIS. 
The great fashionable promenade of Paris is 
the Bois de Boulogne, where, and especially 
on a Sunday, all who can raise any sort of an 
equipage go out for a drive. The Emperor is 
making a little river there just now, which in 
August is to be filled from the Seine, and lie is 
remodeling the woods and the walks without 
much apparent, regard to francs and centimes 
—all, it is said, to keep labor out of mischief, 
by giving : t work enough to do. The Bois 
(the wood) is the resort of the Empress, with 
her courier, her out-riders, her postillions, her 
four dashing horses, her attendants, &c. I 
caught but a glimpse of Her Majesty as she 
was driven by with speed. The Bois, too, is 
the resort of capitalist* banker, general, noble- 
blernau—everybody, indeed, that can buy and 
equip the horses, and dress out sufficiently 
well their wives and their families in Cashmere 
shawls, diamond breastpins, bracelets, &c. 
The ladies in Paris, in cool •weather, dress 
but little, very little in the streets; but for a 
drive in the Bois, they seem to put on every¬ 
thing they can raise in order to make a dis¬ 
play. Hence, this is the best place for seeing 
fashionable, showy Paris, or Paris as it is, in a 
live panorama. We have no like places in 
the United States—none such as Hyde Park 
in London, or the Bois just out of Paris; aud 
hence it is impossible for us to imagine or pic¬ 
ture what a great city can show, if it tries, in 
wealth anti elegance. The expenditures for 
these displays are so large, that it seems to me 
the New V ork carriage makers and traders 
could of themselves almost pay for a Park on 
our island, in order to tempt our people who 
have money to spend iu the like way. It is, 
fur the world, a wiser expenditure than in eat¬ 
ing and drinking at balls, dinners, and parties, 
or iu furniture seldom or never used. And it 
is better, too, that the rich thus spend their in¬ 
comes than roll up or hoard up income upon 
iucome, which in the end may be injurious to 
society by its magnitude and weight. 1 never 
object to a rich man’s spending his money.— 
The more the better, if in no mischievous way. 
If the admirable municipal government of 
London aud other British cities impressed me, 
so does this the more. The streets are kept 
as clean as need be, nay, as can be, I may add. 
They are swept at night, or before the inhab¬ 
itants are up or out iu the morning; and they 
are swept in all sorts of weather, as much in 
rain as in sunshine. Where building is going 
on the lots are fenced in, or where buildings 
are being torn down. Where dust is drawn 
off or drawn in, the carts are so constructed 
that they do not shed it over every thorough¬ 
fare, as ours do, so that a load going from 
Union square to the river, often becomes no 
load at all when it gets there. The Five 
Points parts of Paris are kept just as clean as 
Genin kept Broadway. There are no dirty 
streets that 1 could find. Hence the air is 
kept comparatively sweet and pure, even 
among a population crowded more than ours. 
True, very true, London and Paris are not 
under she hot, burning, summer sun of New 
York, but their fogs and frequent rains are al¬ 
most as discouraging to the street cleaners. 
Amidst these rains the Parisian street-sweep¬ 
ers are always at work; and when the sun 
makes dust, the city is carefully sprinkled in 
all the principal streets and the principal sub¬ 
urbs. All the labor is so well regulated and 
systematised that 1 doubt if the street clean¬ 
ing of Paris, about four times as large as New 
York, costs as much as that of New York.— 
The drives in the Bois de Boulogne, a half- 
hour, or three-fourths of an hour’s drive out 
Paris, are daily and twice a day sprinkled if 
necessary. The shopkeeper who may be tax¬ 
ed, for all this doubtless receives back more 
thau his taxes, and with interest, iu the in¬ 
creased luxuries which such a comfortable and 
delicious drive tempts the rich to indulge in. 
Hundreds of carriages are kept mainly for such 
a “ turn out,” and thousands and tens of thous¬ 
ands of dollars are expended upon harness, 
saddles, liveries, carriages, robes, shawls, bon¬ 
nets, jewels, and such like things. Our dirty 
streets and the absence of all open parks or 
avenues for such drives are excluding from 
our city thousands and thousands of dollars in 
similar expenditures, though if dollar for dol¬ 
lar could be compared between New York 
and Paris, 1 am inclined to think that now 
we have, with one-fourth of the population, 
nearly as much wealth as Paris can really 
claim as her own. — Cor. JY. F. Express. 
A SHORT ROMANCE. 
The following romantic incident is said to 
have occurred a few years before the Russian 
conquest of Armenia. The Sirdar fell violently 
in love with a beautiful Armenian maiden, and 
demanded her from her parents. Their sup¬ 
plications, and those of the girl herself, were 
unavailing; for although she had a lover, she 
was not formally betrothed; she was carried off 
to the harem. 
During the night her lover entered the pal¬ 
ace gardens, and in a low voice commenced 
singing beneath the windows of the harem, in 
the hope that she would hear him. Soon a 
window was opened, and some one leaped out. 
Fearing that his singing had betrayed him, he 
fled; but as he heard nothing more, he crept ; 
back, and found his beloved caught in the 1 
branches of a tree, which had broken her de¬ 
scent to the ground. He helped her down 
aud they prepared for flight, but being over¬ 
heard, they were pursued and caught, and in 
the morning they were brought before the Sir¬ 
dar. When the latter had heard the circum¬ 
stances of the case, he exclaimed, “ 1 see that 
in the sight of Cod you were already betroth¬ 
ed. Lovers so true should never be parted.— 
Live happijy together, and Cod be with you.” 
—Baron i on Haxthavsen's Sketches. 
We avoid a snarling dog, not because we 
fear him, but because lie disturbs us; so it is 
with snarling men. 
A wish man stands firm in all extremities,

A Poetical Editor. — The editor of the 
Fall River News has taken to writing poetry, 
as the following will show; it contains as much 
truth as poetry : 
“ Breathes there a man with soul so dead— 
who never to himself has said—1 will my dis¬ 
trict paper take, both for my own and family’s 
sake? If such there be let him repent—and 
have the paper to him sent, and if he’d pass a 
happy winter—he in advance sould pay the 
printer.” 
The Explanation. —One of the two gentle¬ 
men recently conversing about the Natural 
Bridge of Virginia, remarked that there was an 
extraordinary incident connected with it, for 
that Gen. Washington once threw a dollar 
completely over it, an achievement which has 
not been performed since. 
“No wonder,” replied his companion, “ for a 
dollar in those days could be made to go a great 
deal further than at the present time.” 
A facetious boy asked one of bis playmates 
why a hardware dealer was like a bootmaker? 
The latter, somewhat puzzled, gave it up.— 
Why, said the other, because one sold the nails, 
and the other nailed the soles. 
“ I would advise you to put your head in a 
dye-tub, it is rather red,” said a joker to a sandy- 
haired girl. “I, in return,”said Nancy, “would 
advise you to put yours in an oven, as it is 
rather soft.” 
A drunken youth got out of his calculation 
and was dozing in the street, when the bells 
roused him by the ringing for fire. “ Nine, 
ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen!” he cried. 
“ Well, if it is’nt later than I ever knew it!” 
“The tree is known by its fruit.” The only 
exception to this is the dog-wood, which is 
known by its bark. 
We generally say of a mill in full operation 
that it is running; aud it is quite proper—for
