An Hour at the Old Play around. t sat an hour tc-dsy, John, DeilJe the old brook stream Where w were school boya In olden time' When manhood waa a dream The brook Is choaked with fallen leaves, The pond is dried away t I scarce believe you would know The dear old place to-day. The school-house Is no more, John, Beneath our locust trees t The wild-rose by the window aids No more waves In the breeze. The scattered stones look desolate The sod they rested on Has been ploughed by strangei hands Since you and I were gone. The chestnut tree Is dead, John, And what is sadder now, The broken grape-vine of Our awing Hang on the withered bough. I read eur names upon the bark, And found the pebbles rare, Laid up beneath the hollow side, Just as we piled them there. Beneath the grass-grown bank, John, I looked for our old spring, That bubbled down the alder path, Three paces from the swing. The rushes grow upon the brink, The pool is bleak and bare, And not a foot this many a day, It items has trodden there. I took the old blind road, John, That wandered up the bill, , 'Tis darker than It used to be, And seems so lone and still The bird sing yet among the boughs, Where once the sweet grap hung, But not a voice of human kind, Where all our voices rung. I sat me down on the fence, John, That lie as in olden time. The same half-panel In the path, We used so oft to elimb I thought bow o'er the cares of life, . O-it play-mates had passed on, And left me counting on this spot, The faces that are gone. W tailing. V JOHK O. SAXt. Of all amusements for the mind, From logic down to fi hlng, There isn't one that you can find So very cheap as " wishing I" A very choice diversion, teo, If we but rightly ttie it, And not, as we are apt to do, Pervert It and abuse it. I wish a common wish indeed - My purs was sometimes fatter, That I might cheer the child of need And not my pride to flatter f That I might make oppression reel, As only gold can make it, . , And break the tyrant' rod of teel, A only gold can break It I I wish that Sympathy and Lev, And every human passion ' That has its origin above, . Would come, and keep in fashion That Scorn, and Jealouslj, and Hate, And every base emotior, Were buried Arty-fathoms deep Beneath the waves of ocean! I wish that friends were always true, And motive always pur, I wish the good were not so few, I wish the bad were fewer ; I wish that parsons ne'er forgot To heed their pious teaching j I wish that practicing was not So different from preaching. I wish that modest worth might be Appraised with truth and candor I wish that innocence was free From treachery and slander j I wish that men their vow would mind That women ne'er wer rovers I wish that wive were always kind, And husband always lover 1 I wish In fine that joy and mirth, .

Brigg-s, ex-Gov- crnur uf MMchusctu, delivered & tem perance aJilresi some time since, in the course of which he related the following anecdote with thrilling effect: Mr. Briggs said this question cf the introduction of intoxicating drinks asaum. ed somewhat of a practical form last Spring in a thriving borough in PennsyU vania. The inhabitants had assembled, as was their usual custom, to decide what number, if any, of licenses the town should petition from the County Court, from whence they were issued. There was a full attendance. One of the moat respectable magistrates of the borough prtbided, nnd upon the platform were seated) among others, the clergyman of the village, one of his deacons, and the Dhvaician. ..i r ...!T-i .n.,n.l,l.. riii. A tt u Uie meeting dou been caueu ioi zens of the boruuurt rose, and oner a short speech, moved that the meeting pe tition for the usual number of licenses. They had better license good men and let them sell. Tho proposition secin?d to meet with almost universal favor. It was an excellent wny to get along quietly, and one and then another in their turn expressed their hope that such a course would be adopted. The President was about to put the question to th? meeting, when an object roso in a distant part of the building, and all eyes were instantly turned in that di rection. It was an old woman, poorly clad, and whose careworn countenance was the painful index of do light ufler ing. And yet there was something in the flash of the bright eye that told she had once beeu what she was not. She addressed the President, and said, with his permissi m, she wished to say a few words to the meeting. She had come be cause ane had heard that they were to decide the license question. "You," said she "all know who I am. You once knew me the mistress of one of the best estates in the borough. I once had a husband and fire sons; and woman never had a kinder husband mother never had five better or more affectionate sons. But where are they now ? Doc tor, I ask where are they now ? In yon der burying ground there are six graves tilled by that husband and those five sons, and oh! they are all drunkards' graves. Doctor, how came they to be drunkard t You would come and drink with them, and you to'd told them that temperate drinking would do them good. And you loo, Sir, addreasing the clergyman, wo'd come and drink with my hu.baud ; and my sons tho'l they migLt drink with safe ty, because they saw you drink. Deacon, you sold them rum which made them drunkards. You have got my farm and all my property, and you got it by ruin. And now," eh said, "I have done my er rand. I go back to the poor-house, for that is my home. You, reverend Sir, you, Doctor, and you, Deacon, I aim!) never meet again, until I meet you at the bar of God, where you too will meet my ruined aud lost huaband and those five sous, who, thro your means and iufluence, fill the drunkard graves." The old woman sat down. Perfect si lence prevailed, until broken by the Presi dent, who ro to put the question to the meeting shall we petitiou the court to issue licenses to this borough the ensuing year? and then one unbroken ."No !" which made the very walls re-echo with the sound, told the result of the old wo man' appeal. Educated Man and Woman. The educated man the educated wo manhow noble a spectacle do ihey pre sent ! Behold him iu the majestic beauty of bis well built and carefully developed form; his senses true' and rapid, bis strength unweakeued by low indigen cies, and undiminished by laziueas and neglect His slep is sound and dream- less. He wakes with the sun, and gases with a never ceasing wonder at the splen- did miracle of his rising. The morning tonguf birds i music to his ear. He steps forth from his chamber and treads with delight upon the freshened earth. The early breezes salute his keen senses with a healthy inrilL . The blue heavens breath a tranquil joy into his urwouiainin ated soul. The hum of tht nakeuiug world rouses his energies and draws at traction to his customary labors. If be till the earth, he walka the field with a brave and vigorous step. If a profession- unfinished task,, al man, he lakes up his with the happy consciousness that good work will bi done to day. If he be a teacher, La Roes glad ly and hopifj'ly to ihe scrne of his appointed duties, and with ever renewing interest and hope, watches over the daily growth of those the ymipg prernrs of the Und -who.e mind and characters are entrusted to hit oversight and conscientious care Ik-hold her, loo, the paragon of Intel ectual, morali and physical beauty the educated wen an the queen of the earth the charm of society the best compan ion, advier, guide, friend of man the better half of humanity. Culture hat cd ded to her natural delicacy, n new refine ment. Letters have clothed her womanly grace with a permanent charm of taste and intellect. She moves in her destined path of duty, at if the had descended from a higher sphere, to adorn, delight, instruct, and elevate society. The imput ed weakness of her sex it transformed in to strength, whose gentle power U might ier than the boasted strength of man. In prosperity the turns her affluence to the noblest uses, and becomes the almoner of Heaven. Her presence sheds upon the splendor of wealth a grace and a charm, without which riches are a vulgar show. She calls around her the creations of art and poetry bersulf the loveliest of them both. he summons order out of chaos j she turns discord into harmony ; aha scat ters moral darkness by tho genial sun shine of the soul. In adversity, her vir tues shine out with the most lustre. Her brave soul refuses to be cast down. Here, certainly, the rises to a conspicuous hight above him who is sometimes called her lord and master. With what uncomplain ing firmness sho encounters privation; with what courageous devotion she bows her beauty to the toils and hardships which sudden poverty, iikeaiuuol tuii tiuerer, lays upon her. With whht meek and soul-submission she accepts the most burthensome conditions of existence, and without a murmur leaves the enchanted bowers in which her youth was passed, to tread the rugged ways or duty through the hard realities of life itself, leaving to those who survive her, tho classing of her spotless example, and the undying memo ry of her dying amile. Can a whole community be formed of such men and such women T or is the hope thit such a result may at tome time t a i ... or otner, in some uiessea cuine, oe attain ed, the dream of a visionary f Perhaps it is ; tut every step in the moral ami in tellectual progress of the race, is a step to wards such a consumation. At ail events, it will do no harm to set the mark to aim high ; for our success will be high in pro portion. Prof. Ftlion. CaLiroaiiiA Justice. In the palmy days of the California fever, one Charley McCabe was Alrade of the county of Sau Francisco. He was a jovial fellow, and in his decisions spared neither friend nor foe. Dick Robinson, a friend of Charley's onco while on a spree, had the audacity to cut oil' a Chinamau's tail close to die head, for the which he was called up before McCabe to answer for damages. After hearing the complaint of John Chinaman and Dick's defense, our A! cade give his decision that the latter should puy a 'slug" ($50) fine; the which Dick did. The Chinaman's eyes flashed with grateful satisfaction as he held out his hand for the eight cornered gold piece. But that was not Charley' purpose, for putting the "slug" in his vest, pocket and motioning John away with his ha ud, he replied t No ! no ! John, that's for the law T The Chinaman's countenance fell as ha walked out of the court-room, not un derstanding the justice of California. The " court" adjourned and invested the fine in a champagne supper JV. Y. Lta- dtr. A Gsoo Aaot'MEXT.
