QUAINT OLD SONG. 
Ys who would have your features florid, 
Lithe limbs, bright eyes, uuwrinkled forehead, 
From Age's devastation horrid, 
Adopt this plan; 
'Twill malts, in climate cold or torrid, 
A hale old man. 
Avoid in youth luxurious diet. 
Restrain the passions’ lawless riot, 
Devoted to domestic quiet, 
Be wisely gay; 
So shall ye, spite of Age’s fiat, 
Resist decay. 
Seek not in Mammon's worship, pleasure; 
But find jour richest, purest treasure, 
In books, friends, music, polished leisure, 
The mind, not oentB 
Make the sole scale by which ye measure 
Opulence. 
This is the solace, this the science, 
Life's purest, sweetest, best appliance. 
That disappoints not man's reliance, 
What e'er his state— 
But challenges, with calm defiance, 
Time, lortune, fete.

TWO NAMESAKES.

Chapter III. 
The year of Philip's sojourn at school was 
nearly half gone. He had studied as only those 
can who know that th8 moments for learning are 
few and precious. He wee naturally somewhat 
grave and thoughtful, the shadow of hia mother’s 
sorrow had been reflected on bis young luind, but 
he had withal us ardent au appreciation of mirth 
and sport, as other youths of his age. This, ad¬ 
ded to hia many good qualities, his superior schol¬ 
arship, his willingness to assist others, bis frank 
and easy good nature, soon won for him the regard 
of all hiB school-fellows to whom poverty was not 
synonymous with degradation. And this number 
was large; indeed I think that Bchool-boys every¬ 
where, as a class, are ready aud willingto do honor 
to the nobler qualities of their comrades. If there 
is one among them who excels in mental or phys¬ 
ical accomplishments, they are proud of his suc¬ 
cess, and share in the glory. 
Even as Philip ranked among the first in his 
class, so, too, was he among thefirB* on the cricket 
ground and in their other athletic exercises. In 
short, he was popular. There were some, of course, 
who looked on him with envy and jealousy; but 
of these none more so than Lansing Turner, who 
felt every honor added to his rival, as he chose to 
consider him, a personal affront to himself. He 
might, had he chosen to do so, have become his 
equal, though not in the same respects. Hia deli¬ 
cate frame aud inferior strength, unfitted him to 
be his competitor in games of muscular power or 
agility; but as a student he bad the advantage of 
him, inasmuch as he could learn with greater 
rapidity, and recite with an easy, self-assured man¬ 
ner that’gave the impression of information. But 
he was;fond of ease and disliked the labor and 
discipline necessary to excel. Broughtnp with no 
specific aim in life, withont feeling the importance 
of improving his time, he let golden opportunities 
slip by nuheeded, while others, with less than hia 
natural ability, pressed forward and eclipsed him 
Thus early in life he had imbibed the pernicious 
idea that wealth and social poailion were the only 
distinctions of consequence, and he had expected 
to be valued accordingly. It was with much cha¬ 
grin, there foie, that he found that in his relations 
with the Faculty, and the majority of the scholars, 
he was greatly mistaken. Stung with jealousy and 
mortified pride, that one so far beneath him in all 
things which he considered of value, as Philip 
Noble, should take precedence of him in scholar¬ 
ship, he applied himself diligently to his studies 
and succeeded, by a new examination, in taking 
his place on an equality with him, Once there,he 
did not for an instant doubt his ability to keep 
pace with him, 
Lansing was not without hi3 admirers. There 
were in the Academy boys of much the same stamp 
of character, some of whom possessed equal 
means, and those who did not, sought to make np 
the deficiency by qualities which rendered them 
as acceptable companions. When surrounded by 
these it was bis darling ambition to be thought the 
“ good-fellow” of the cla= s, and it served well the 
interests of his friends to flatter and encourage his 
self-love. 
The time of the Annual Exhibition, or Class 
Day, drew uigb,and many an anxious heart beat in 
youthful breasts at thought of the honors then to 
be won or lost. In addition to the usual exercises, 
there was to be a Valedictory Address by a mem 
her of the graduating class, who should be elected 
by vote, aud many and various were the surmises 
as to who would be the successful candidate. In 
elocution and composition, Lansing Turner was 
by no means superior to many of hia associates, 
but as his appearance was prepossessing, and bis 
voice agreeable, be generally made a pleading im¬ 
pression. For many reasons it was his mother’s 
earnest desire that the honor in question should 
fall to bis share, and partly to gratify her, and 
partly to gratify himself, he was willingto achieve 
it if possible. 
It was pretty generally understood that Turner 
and Noble were the most popnlar members of the 
class, but it was uncertain which had the best 
chance. There were six candidates, and when the 
ballot was taken, the two rivals were found to 
stand highest and equal. It waB therefore decided 
that tiicir orations should be written and a com¬ 
mittee appointed to judge of their comparative 
merit. Lanetxo almost despaired at this, and but 
for his mother would have resigned his position, 
thinking retreat more honorable than defeat She 
cheered and encouraged him, however, and did 
not consider it, improper to aid him what Hhe 
could, and felt confident that he could not fall_ 
Copied by another hand and withont signatures, 
the documents were at length submitted, and to 
his own astonishment, for he considered Lansing 
much more “ clever ” than himself, Philip was the 
favored one. 
We will not pause to speak of the joy and ma¬ 
ternal pride which this event gave to Mrs. NoBLE t 
but pass on to the great and important day.

Chapter IV—The Valedictory. 
The hall was fall to overflowing, and the Benees 
almost swam in the wildering maze of flattering 
fans and moving heads, the hum of myriad voices, 
and the oppressive breath of mingled perfumes.— 
Grey-haired men and clergymen conversed in low 
tones of "affairs of church and state.” Mothers 
waited, with anxious facep, the parts which those 
in whom they were interested were to play. Sis¬ 
ters and "sister’s friends” whispered, and with 
animated looks and gestures pointed out their 
brothers and those among the students for whom 
they felt especial concern, while young men loitered 
here and there, chatting with each other and their 
young lady acquaintances. 
It was a busy Beene, but when the aged minister 
arose and lifted bis voice in prayer, perfect still- 
nets fell upon the throng. Then muBic, clear and 
soul-thrilling, filled the house, snd every heart 
leaped, every eye grew bright. One after another 
the youthful aspirants performed their respective 
parts, with greater or less credit and approval, 
until the lengthening shadows warned them that 
the parting hour was near. As toe last one left 
the stage, a dead silence succeeded, broken by a 
loud and enthusiastic burst of applause from the 
students, as Philip Noble appeared. Confused 
by this unexpected greeting, he stood s moment 
in silence, half bewildered. Raising his eyes and 
looking around to recover his self-possession, they 
rested on the pale face and earnest gaze of his 
mother, aud behind her, with his arm resting in 
that of a friend, stood Mr. Farkbk. The blood 
rushed to Pdilip's face, but it brought power to 
his tongue and life to his clouded senses. The 
thought of his mother and his kind friend, gave 
him strength, and his thoughts poured forth, at 
first in an eager, excited stream, but gradually as 
he lost himself in his feelings, he spoke calmly, 
sensibly and earnestly. 
He spoke of the youth who, iresh in the vigor of 
life’s morning, goes forth to sow with a careless or 
provident hand the seed s of t i me,which shall become 
the harvest of hia age. How much o ;bis precious 
seed falls in "waste places” of unprofitable employ¬ 
ment, how much is withered amid the "stony 
Pisces” of irresolution, neglect, and idleness, how 
much is “choked by the weeds” of evil example 
and unholy passions. He reminded them that 
"the race ia not to the swift, nor the battle to the 
strong”? Integrity of puipose, patient persever¬ 
ance and Christian benevolence towards all man¬ 
kind, were, he said, a suier passport to honor and 
success in life, than the moBt brilliant talents or 
the moat flattering fortune without them. He 
spoke of the pleasnre that he had derived 
from hia Academic year, the memory of which 
would ever be dear, as he hoped the benefit 
would be lasting. He thanked the assembled 
Faculty, friends and fellow-students for their kind 
attention, and predicted a bright and honorable 
future for the latter, many of whom weie about to 
enter on a wider sphere of learning and usefulness 
in their collegiate course. Here an involuntary 
sigh rose to his lips as he thoeght how limited 
must be the scope of his own future for want of 
those advantages which so few appreciate. 
As the closing words of the young Valedictorian 
died away, three hearty rounds of applause attest¬ 
ed the delight of his comrades, and the admiration 
of the andience. 
Lansing Turner sat with lowering brow and 
curling lip, and while his conscience acknowledg¬ 
ed his rival’s superiority, he hated him for it; but 
sought consolation in the thought that thin would 
be his only triumph, as he had not the means to 
compete with him farther, and their paths in life 
would henceforth be so widely dissimilar. 
While PnrLiP was speaking, the gentleman with 
whom Mr. Parker was standing, observing in him 
an interested listener, inquired if he knew him, at 
the same time pointing to the programme, which 
bore in full the name of Philip Lansing Noble. 
While the crowd was dispersing, Mr, Parker, who 
with Mrs. Noble and a yonng lady, Mr. Parker’s 
niece, remained to wait for Philip, took advantage 
Of the moment to inform his Iriend in a few brief 
remarks, of the relation in which he stood to the 
young man, aud also introduced him to Mrs. 
Noble. The gentleman bowed courteously and 
congratulated her on having so promising a son. 
Mrs. Noble's face flushed crimson, and became 
instantly pale again, but her agitation passed for 
natural emotion. Riohahd Lansing did uot recog¬ 
nise Grace Lee. 
As soon as possible, Philip made Ihb way to his 
mother, and was introduced to Mr. Parker’s niece, 
Miss Ophelia Bhiare, and his friend, Richard 
Lansing, whose name, as the Mayor of the city, was 
already familiar to him. Mr. Lansing shook him 
heartily by the band and said smilingly, “1 am 
proud to have a name in common with yon, my 
young friend, and I hope we ehull yet be better 
acquainted.” 
It wrb an eventful day for both mother and son. 
Chapter V.—Excelsior. 
It was the evening after the school exhibition, 
and Mrs. Noble and Philip were at home and 
alone once more. The latter, who seemed to be 
musing on some weighty matter, at length broke 
the Bilence by remarking, 
“I believe, mother, that there is no truer saying 
than Hhe more we have, the more we want.’_ 
When I bo ardently desired to go to the Academy, 
I thought that could I attain this object I would be 
satisfied, aud would allow iny ambition to rest 
within the bounds of my circumstances. In fact, 
I thought I bad no wish to go to College, and I 
scarcely knew whether I had either talents or pre¬ 
ference lor any particular business. But in my 
zeal to make the mo9t of the Bhort time allotted to 
me, I have roused a spirit of emulation, a longing 
for knowledge within me, which I fear I can never 
silence or satisfy.” 
"Nor should you wish to silence it, my son, for 
when once Bitch a desire is born in the mind, it 
will have sustenance; and unlesB smothered, it 
will of itself overcome every obstacle iu the way 
of its acquirement. I know that you are sadly fet¬ 
tered by circumstances; I think I feel this almost 
as keenly as you do yonrself; but you must keep 
a br- ve heart and aim high. You ran scarcely 
aim too high, for though with your utmost perse¬ 
verance you cannot reach the summit < . your de¬ 
sires, still you will have the satisfaction of know¬ 
ing that you are constantly iislcg and moving 
onward in the world. There is scarcely anything 
impossible to a young man with health and sense, 
with ‘heart within and God o’erhead.’” 
“That is true, mother. I know that yon are 
right, and when I do not let my discontent get the 
belter ol my reason, toy own heart always tells me 
the same. But somehow within the last few days, 
I have been unable to keep my mind from dwelling 
on the thought that so many of my school fellows 
would leave the Academy for College. Fellows of 
no better natural ability than myself, many of 
them not as good, have ri b parents and influen¬ 
tial friends to lend them a helping band and an en¬ 
couraging word, and how will many repay them ? 
By wasting—worse than wasting— the advantages 
that would be as precious ss life to me.” 
Mrs. Noble sighed and was silent; she felt that 
it was but too true. 
“But I pain you, dear mother; excuse my child¬ 
ishness. I am like the little boy who would not 
look at his beautiful toys because he could not 
have the moon for a plaything. I forget how grate¬ 
ful I should Lc for the advantages I already enjoy. 
I am going to make the best of it, and with ‘Ex¬ 
celsior,’ lor my ensign, perhaps I shall yet over¬ 
come this great bugbear oi poverty.” 
“ Well done! That was spoken like a man, and 
like my son. And now what are your plans, or 
have you not yet formed any?” 
“Yes, I am going to-morrow to make arrange¬ 
ments with Mr. Parker for entering his service 
again next week, if he will take me, I had almost 
begun to dream of one day becoming a physician, 
but that must be by and by, when that old friend 
looks lesH cadaverous.” 
As he spoke he tossed hia pocket-book into the 
air, with an effort, to stimulate the cheerfulness 
which he did not quite feel. 
The next day Philip called upon Mr. Parker, 
who was very glad to see him, hut being occupied 
with business of importance, said that he would 
be obliged to him if lie would either call at his 
house some evening, or wait until the beginning 
of the week. Philip had scarcely left the count¬ 
ing-room before Richard Lansing entered it.— 
Whatever Mr. I'avkf.r’s I _-.r.-.es9 may have b< ■ u, 
it was instantly laid aside for the new comer. 
"Now about this young graduate, you toid me 
something of; he has just left here, I think.” 
“Yes, he came to Bee me about coming into my 
employ again; but I read the poor fellow's face 
like an open book, bo I told him 1 was busy at pres¬ 
ent, and recommended 'riin in take BOme little ex¬ 
cursion between tbia and Monday. The faot is, 
just as I expected; the fellow has such a craving 
for learning, that the mere taste which he has been 
able to get, by this year at the Academy, has only 
sharpened his appetite, and made the prospect of 
coming back to the oldojunting-room taste rather 
mouldy.” 
During some further conversation, Mr. Parker 
gave his friend as fall an account of his protege as 
he was able from his acquaintance — adding, as a 
voucher for his moral character, the possession of 
so excellent a 
“She is a fine-iocking womaD, truly, and looks 
as if she were born to a better fortune,” replied his 
friend. "Do you know who she was?” 
“ I believe she was quite delicately brought up, 
and wae, I think, the daughter of a clergyman of 
the name of Lee, in tome town in this State.” 
Mr. Lanstno started to his feet, and walking 
hastily to the window, stood looking out He 
pressed his hand to his head, but it could not press 
back the hot blood in his reins; so he turned 
again to his seat, ar.d murmuring something about 
headache, not sleej Hg weD, and the close room,he 
resumed the conversation. He had long meditat¬ 
ed speaking to Mr. Parker on a subject of some 
importance, and thought the present as good au 
opportunity as any. It was the establishment of a 
fond to enable a few deserving young men to pur 
sue their studies in some profession from which 
they were debarred if poverty. He did not with, 
for the present, to condnot such a scheme person¬ 
ally; for should it rot answer his wishes and ex¬ 
pectations, he Bbould discontinue it. Therefore 
he was seeking a suitable person to whom It might 
be intrusted, and should it succeed to his satisfac¬ 
tion, he would take measures to make it a perma¬ 
nent institution, lie wished Mr. Parker to under¬ 
take this trust, omi the experiment should be begun 
with but two student*, one of whom Mr. Pareef. 
should select, the other himself. Each was to 
choose his profe slon and pursue it under Mr. 
Parser's direction without any knowledge of the 
Bource of aid, and ;ach was to refund from time to 
time, 89 they became able to do so, small Bums 
towards liquidating their debt and aiding others 
in turn. 
Ry the time P iilip made his appearance, on 
Monday morning, this business had been satis! oo- 
torily arranged, and Mr. Parker had the pleasnre 
of communicating to him the fact that he was the 
student of hia choice; and he might "set about, 
becoming a doctor as fast as he pleased.” The 
poor boy could scarcely believe his senses until 
ho had read the articles of agreement over and 
over, and even then he was half blinded by tears 
of surprise and Joy, 
It is needles.. 1o dwell on ti e feelings of Mrs. 
Norlk op learning the good fortune of her son.— 
She strongly suspected that Mr. Parker was him¬ 
self the author of it, and that be took this method 
of modestly concealing his benevolence. Never¬ 
theless she rejoiced, and her heart answered “truly 
Thou wilt not behold 'the righteous forsaken, nor 
their seed begging bread.’”

A Lad of Spirit. —When Lt. Gov. Patterson was 
Speaker of the N. Y. Assembly, some dozen boys 
presented themselves for the place of Messenger, 
as it is usual at the opening of the House. Ho in¬ 
quired their names, and into their condition, in 
order that he might make the proper selection.— 
He came, in the coarse of his examination, to a 
small boy, about ten years old, a bright, intelligent 
looking lad. 
“Well, sir,” said he, “what is your name?” 
"John Hancock, 8ir,” was the answer. 
"What!” said the Speaker, "you are not the one 
that signed the Declaration of Independence, are 
you?” 
"No, sir,” replied the lad, Btretching himself to 
hia utmost proportions, "but I would, if I had been 
there.” 
“You can be one of the Messengers,” said the 
Speaker.
