The Blue Bird A Spring Song.
Y WM. VOSDICK.
Gentle harbinger of Spring,
Bird of the heaven hue,.
Bearing ou thine airy wing,
Summer's sofbeal blue ;
Oh 1 welcome back thy ruddy breast
And music breathing month,
Sweet herald I of the brecxy West,
And of the spicy South.
The bright-hued courier of the sun I
0'd Winter hears tby strain,
.And drawing up his snowy cloak,
Goes slowly down the plain j
And in his tracks, In robes of green,
' The Spring comes, dancing gay,
And April draws the curtain screen
That hides the blushing May. ,
Oh I welcome back sweet Messenger I
Thou hast a guiding chart,
'Tis Memory's needle, made to stir,
The compass of thy heart t
Thou ridest In the sunshine's car,
Born on the South wind's breath
Led by the ley, Polar Star,
And the evenings in the West.
Sweet Envoy of the gentle Spring I
Oh I bring me tidings, true,
, That I shall see a blossoming
; Upon life's tree anew.
. But if thou canst not bring Love back,
. I prithee Bird, depart I
For fairest skies will seem but black,
' Without a Rpring at heart. .
1 The Elon and the Skunk.
. , a dream
I met s lion in my path,
(Taws on a dreary autumn night,)
' Who fave me the alternative
To either run or fight.
I dare not turn npon the track,
. ' I dare not think to run away, ' " -'-For
fear the lion at my back
Would seize me as bis prey.
So, summoning fearless air,
Tlioujh all my soul was full of f rlgh
I said unto the forest king, -.
, j "I will not run, but fight."
' We fought, and, as the fates decreed,'
1 conquered in the bloody fray 5
For soon the lion at my feet
" A lifeless carcass lay. ,
A llt'le skunk was standing by,
' And noted what the Hon spoke ;
And when he saw the lion die,
The lion's tracks he took.
He used the lion's very speech,
For strt tchlng to his utmost height,
He gave me the alternative .
To either run or fight. '
I saw he was pr pared to fling
Fresh odors from his busby tail,
And knew those ordors very soon
My nostrils would assail.
So. summnninr a humble air.
. ; i .
; Though all my soul was free from fight,
I said unto the dirty skunk
I'll u , but will not tight.
MOBAL.
As years begin to cool my blood,
I rather all would doubt my spunk,
. Than for a moment under' ske
. To fight a human skunk.
. Common Sense.
She came among the gathering crowd,
A maiden fair without pretence,
And when they asked her humble name
She whispered mildly, ' Common Sense."
Her modest garb drew every eye,
Her ample cloak, her shoes of leather;
And, when they sneered, she simply said,
.. " I dress according to ths weather."
They argued long and reasoned loud
. Indubious Hindoo phrase mysterious,
While she, poor child, could not divine
Why girls so young should be so serious.
. They knew the length of Plat's beared
, And how the scholars wrote In Sa: urn )
She studied suthors not so deep,
1 And took the Bible for her pattern.
' And so she said,4 Excuse me, friends,
1 find all have their proper places,
And Common Sense should stay at home
With cheerful hearts and smiling faces.'
New Boots.
" These boots were never made for me,
They are too short by half ;
I want them long enough, d'ye see,
To cover all ths calf."
- Why, sir," said Last, with stilled laugh,
"To Alter them I'll try i
' But if they cover all the calf,
They must be six feet Hgh.n '

Educational Rliatakes.
Hitherto, parents have erred lamentably
in civinir superior advantages of educa
tion to the boys instead of die girls ; nnd
this is as much in reference to the pros
perity and happiness of their own families
as in reference to the interests of society
nd the race of man. What educates
children f Home inlluence J the spirit of
those who abide most in the family, who
are daily, hourly, fixing the impressions
they make on each individual of thatfam-
V hose influence tn the family is
predominant! Whose presence there is
most constant T The husband's? as he
urries in to irienls, and rushes out to the
allucinations of business. No; the one
idea of pecuniary gain absorbs all his en-
rgies. The sons 1 JNo ; they find homo
dull place. I he mother is interested
solely in household economies, or engag-
u in discussing the merits of anierent
stuff's and stylos; and the sisters have de
tailed the attractions of the last bi-nux,
issucted the toiletts and characters of their
mates, nnd condemned the five last pr
ties. Mo the boyt nre ofl", seeking society
elsewhere.
No, no ; not these. The mother and
the daughters give lone to home music.
It tne gins nave wen-iurnisneu minus mm
greeable mnnners, home will attract ;
they will radiate all around its horizon an
irresitible beauty, one which will draw to
them their brothers' hearts, and fix them
in that charmed pot which will become
to them literally holy, from associations
clustering about reliued, gentle, intellect
ual sisters. Boys heed such influences
to keep their spirits loyal to purity and
home, to keep their feet from questionable
resorts, from saloon dissipation, from
street amusements, to Veep their souls
from the woman that fialkrtth with her
IPS.
And with the example of such sisters
constantly before them, they would be
come what theV should be, instead of ths
degenerate beings puny, ugly, vicious
which are often sent, like a brood of vi
pers, from the bosom of their home, to
poison the world. Holier still, the chil
dren cf such mothers would start into be
ine under the best circumstances. In
stead of assuming a mere apology for ex
istence, they would waken from nonentity
into Lite, with a favorable prospet lor
life's excellence and' enjoyments. -
Will the reader recall some noteworthy
examples? Of President Ldward
mother, it is said : one received a su
perior education, was dignified and Com'
manding iu appearance, nfiabto and gen
tie in her manners, and was regarded as
surpassing her husband in native vigor of
understanding. Me had a thorough
knowledge of the Scriptures and of theol
ogy, and singular conscientiousness, piety,
and excellence of character." His father,
also, was a ltarned, excellent person
1 This distinguished man, the son of such
parents, married a woman of superior
minds and attainments, and their descend
ants are amon? the most talented of the
Eastern States." ' J ' '
Lord Bacon's mother " was distinguish
ed both as a linguist and a theologian.
She corresponded in Greek with Bishop
Jewel, and translated his Apologia from
the Latin so correctly that neither he nor
Archbishop rnrker could suggest a single
alteration, she also translated a series
of sermons on Fate and Free-will, from
the Tuscan of Bernardo Ochin)." " Her
sons, Anthony and Francis, were two of
the most extraordinary men of any age ;
and her care of lliein attests her chnrac
ter. Francis felt this: in his will, he
says: "I desire to be burried in St.
Michaels Church, near M. Alton
there was my mother burried.' Bacon's
mother was one of the five daughter of
the eminently good'and learned Sir An
thony Cook. He attended personally to
their education, thinking that " wo oen
are as capable of learn'ng as men."
These five daughters rewarded the care
ful culture given them by their father, in
tb.9 happiness they gave him.
They were familiar with book, pen, the
needle, housewifery iu hall and kitchen
neither did they neglect music and danc
ing. They were distinguished for their
excellent demeanor as mother of fami
lies." :
The mother of Milton "was a womaa
of incomparable) virtue and goodness."
But Miltou seems to have had a low idea
of woman, if we judge from bis neglect
of his daughters' education, thus entailing
on them and their posterity, poverty, lg
norance, and dt-gradation. rotsibiy. Mi

Shendnn said, beautifully, " women
govern us; let us render thorn ponea ;
the more tliev are en mhtencd. so much
the more shall we be. On the cultivation
of the mind of tho women depends the
wisdom of men. It is by women that
Nature writes on the hearts of men."
Life lUiutrated.
rnoNooAniv. The art of phonog.
raphic reporting is the best ever invent
ed, but nevertheless sometimes leads to
mistakes. Not long since, a member of
Congress was muking a speech, in which
e intimated that truth was much dearer
to him than party, quoting the Latin,
Jlintricus Socrates, amicus Plato est sad
major Veritas." (Socrates is my friend,
.i . - it. i t.
luto is my inena, out truin is muuu more
iny friend.) I his appeared tne next
morning in the . report as follows i MI
may cuss Socrates, I may cuss Plato," said
Major Veritas !
Ihe sounds were somewhat alike, but
ten there was a little difference in the
meaning.
On another occasion, senator liright
had something lo say about bis constitu
ents and " actual settlers." , Now it some-
imes happens, that the signs for words of
liferent sense are in phonography so
nearly alike, that the right word can only
be judged by the context. On this occa
sion the reporter did not probably write
out his own report, but left it to some
careless clerk, and the consequence was,
that Mr. Bright was astonished the next
day to see his constituents referred to as
catlli sleaUrt, in bis speech. - " Actual
settlors" and " cattle stealers" being re
ported by the same signs in phonographic
writing.
Mobal Taniiency. " Where iayour

as be was inquiring of Mrs. Partington,
with regard to the proclivities of Ike,
who bad a bard name in the neighbor

meant morally tending," said the visitor
solemnly, ntraightening himself up like
an axe-handle. " Yes," said she, a little
confusedly, as though she didn't fully un
derstand, but didnt wish to insult hiuiby
saying she didn't, " yes I hope he'd tend
morally, though there's a great difference
in shop keepers, and the moral tenderness
n some seems a good deal less than in
others, and in others a good deal more.
A shopkeeper is one you should put con
fidence into, but I've always noticed some
times that the smilingest of them is the
deceivingest. One told me the other day
that a calico would wash like a piece of
while, and it did iutt like it. for all the
color washed out of it." " Good morning,
ma'am," said the visitor, and stalked out
with a long string attached to bis heel by
piece of gum that bad somehow got up
on the floor beneath his teei2io.ton
Gazette. ;
What's a Visitation. Mr. Spear
man, or isewton Hail, at the recent dinn
er of the Durham County Agricultural
Society, was reminded, by the absence of
the clergymen, of a story which perhaps
he might he permitted to relate, as be bad
it from a very good source, viz, from a
very exccileut divine who was himself a
rebendary of the cathedral church of
Wham. Two honest farmers in riding
along together encountered a lagre num
ber of clergymen, and one of them said
to the other, " Where be all these par
sons coding from T' To this his friend
replied. " They have been at a risita
Hon. The other, no wuei than b fore,
says, What's a visitation I" and the an
swer was, " W by, it s where all the par
sons goes once a year and swops their
sermons." (Laughter.) His friend on
being thus enlightened, quietly remarked,
" J-Mng a, nut our chap mun get the
worst on it every time." (Roars of Laugh
ter.) -

says, a journal, our friend B , of Mo

A B'hoy's Apoloot. Thev had a
ball at Waverly the other night, which
brought out some remarkable expressions.
Among other frarMnraftonj. the following
instance of cool apology took place.
Bill P is known " all over," and
Bill was at this ball in all his tlorv; and
the whisky was plenty and palatable;
The evening passed of rapidly, end Bill
had, about ten o'clock, become very happy.
Stepping up to a young lady, he request

After a few momenta. Bill is accosted 1
by a brother of the young lady,' and
charged with having insulted bis sister..
Bill denies, but professes himself willing,
to apologies, if he has done wrong, and
accordingly steps up to the young lady,'
when the following conversation ensued, i

Winter and Tremont streets, I noticed a

charges were considered proved, and he
was duly convicted, s The members eat'

At length the presding - bishop asked,'
