There once was a count so I've hoard it said Who felt thnt his end drew near. And he called his sons before his bed To part them his gools and gear. Ho eiilled for his plow, he called for his sword, That gallant, good and brave ; They brought him both at their father's word, And thus he his blepsiegs gave : "My first-born Son, my prido and might, Do thou my sword retain. My castle on the lordly higlt And all iny broad domain. "On thee, my well-loved younger boy, My plow I hero bestow ; A peaceful life shult thou enjoy, In the quiet vale below." Contented sank the sire to rest. Now all was given away j The sons held true his last behest, E'en on their dying day. "Now tell us what came of the steel of flame, Of the castle and its kniulit ? And tell us what came of the vale so tame, And the humble peasant wight T" Oh ask not of mo what the end may be ! Ask of the country round ! The cast le is dust, the sword is rust, The hight is but desert ground. Put the vale spreads wide in the golden pride .

II ORIIILT HIT, 1 dou't hev much conGJence iu the up per crust as bcio better than the rest ov the dish when you oome to makq fine thing or iti merits, aud look at it sonci bly. if I hev any knowlcdgo of u per crust, its claims to superiority rest cm the fact ov its bain shorter aud more scaly than the under crust, an J if wan reared un der superior advantages playa the luavo, as ho often does, he is more scaly than a pour and ignorant man kan be, aud goes a much shorter road to ruin. I hev aeen an upper crut so short as to be spoilt for all practical use, and when a man gits so shortened up with his pedi gree, or his wclth, or posishun as ouo of the upper crust ov losictj, as to look with tcora upou the worthy poor, I cant see what he is good for as fur as humauity is cousorned. I iliiiik mi landlady told me that it was more apt to get scorched than the under crut, and looks worse for tryin to be sum thing extra and failin, and when an upper crust mau gits smutted ho looks worse on ackoutit ov the airs he has put on than tho he hed ben nobody but an under crust man. Tho cook always takes more pains with the upper crust, and spends a great deal ov time and hara labor, and puts in large quantities of rancid butter to improve it, and thcu it is n't tho most substantial sort of food, aud it wouldn't be ov much con sequence if the filling and under crust didn't give it a body and relish ; and af ter all the care and expense bestowed up on the upper classes in their manners and education, it is often only to work in the poor butter that can be bought for six pence a pound, and are tustclcns at best, aud often insipid or stale, or tn.sto ov the shortuing. The plums and the sujur and the meat aro never in the upper crust, but are in the Ellin covered by it. end if the men who claim the highest place on ac koutit ov sixpenny butter in their compo sition, serve as a covcriiig for tho really worthy class, they will not hev lived in vasn. I hev ben readin this over to the cook in the hotel where I drink my morning coffee, and she says that she sumtimcs puts in the very best ov butter shoitiiing and adding her skill to good materia, makes an upper crust fit to cover the best dish iu the whole course ; which proves that an upper cruxt man may bee made ov the best quality stuff, and be an honor t3 Humanity, and mo ro to on account of skill bestowed on his education and the choice of material. A Revolutionary Ukjuniscknce. Just after the war broko out, the steward of site Manor of Livingston had been gained over to the royal cause, and carried most of the tenants in that direction. They had secretly taken the oath of allegiunco to King George, and had engaged to join the British standaid in arms as soon as a royul force should appear to protoct them. As a reward, they wero promised the fee- simtilo of their lauds. ' Information of this intrigue and treachery was givcu to the board of war, of which Mr. Morris was a member The steward was apprehend ed, his crime proved, and ho was con demned to death. Upon the question of his execution, it was prepased that it khould immediately take place to prevent escape or rescue. Mr. Morris dissuaded this course. "Fit out a sloop here nt Al bany," he recommended, "take the man down in it to the Manor of Livingston, call out the tenants, and hang him in their j presence." This was done. The next j week a draft was ordered throughout by , the board of war, and tho Manor of Liv ingston was the ouly place in it that turned out, at a moment's warning, every ma thaf was required.

Our Dos Jerrj as School-Master. a stout roa Tin ruantisi. O napa." said my boy Ned to me w we were starting for a walk, one inoruing, with Jerry, "I have taught Jerry auch a lot of things sine you have beeu away ; he can fetch Micks out of the water, and beg splendidly come here, Jerry," (taking a piece of bread from the break fa.t table) "and show papa how yon can beg." Jerry accordingly, a beautiful black retriever, which I had bought for Ned, a few months before, sat up and looked as demu'e as a four-logged stoio can Jo, til ha got the bread, when he thanked Ned by a wag of his tail. I taught him that. ppa." cried Ned- 'Ueod dog, Jerry ! But Lizzia" (Ned's sister) "helped to make him fetch the sticks." "Well, bat," said I, rather amused, " if yen teach him all tbif, Ned, dees he never taach you anything iu return f' "He, indeed ! Come now papa, what can a dog teach me ? And I am vert- glad, dear old Jerry," (brnding down aud clasping Jerry, who returned the salute by licking the boy's face) "you, a any rate, can come the school-master over one ; it is enough to have old Qogglen" (this was Ned's dreadfully irreverent name for his master, whe were spectacles) "bothering ono trom morning to night wilhhis x y x's onl his tupto, im't it? What do you think, papa? old Gojeles positively makes us learn half page of irregular Greek verbs ev?ry morning now; but we always slip them when wo can.'' "ah, well my dear boy," was my mild answered," we have all of us had to go through with the samo hard experience!, suppose. But as to Jerry, do you know I think he tries to teach you a good deal, if you have only the wit to learn ? Only Scrry is wiser tkan most masters ; he teaches chiefly by example." Now this, as I thought it would, pivued Ned, whose great failing was to think himself immensely clever. "Indeed, papa !" he cried, rather scornfully. ''And prny what is he teach ing me dow, as he is jumping about like that?" For since we have got out of the house, Jerry was running about like a mad dog, new running lack to us and leaping up, burking all the time and waging his tail, till I thought it would come off. "Oh, can't you see, Ned ?" I replied coolly. "It i his way of giving you a lesson against cruelty to onimals." "I don't seo it a bit." Why, ho is barking out as loud as ha can. Sue how how delighted I am at get ingout of deors, just as you are, Ned, when you rush out of school ! You see theieis as much difference as you thought between you and tno j I, and all other an imals, can feel pleasure and pain as your self; so remember that, the next time you pull a poor fly's wings off." "Well, come, papa, 1 am not cruel to auimals, whatever c'so I may be," pro tested Ned. "I don't think you are, Ned, intention ally, " I onswered. "By the way, how is tho last of those little bullfinches you and Tom Fucic brought home, a few days ago?" "Oh, it tumbled r'nto a pan of hot water, yesterday, papa, so we were obliged to kill it," said tho boy. "Ah, then, that makes up the six, does it not ? Let us see ; there was this : and one you said fell out of the nest; two the cat got ; and two would't eat, you told me, because you could not feed them as well as tho old bird did. So the whole six are' disposed of now. Oh no, you aro not cruel inteutionally." Ned began to see that I was poking fun at him. so ho did not answers but walked on sulkily, kicking down the this ties which hopponod to be rank along the lane-tide, i By and by we got to the river, where Jerry bounded in after the sticks and stones Ned kept throwing for him in the water. : We had amused ourselves for some time with watching him pawiag for the stones or snatching the sticks in his mouth, and after shaking himself when he got back to land.bringing us the recovered treasure. . , .',.. v. At last Ned, who never sulked for a long time at once, laughed and cried out to me ; "there, papa, now ; what lesson is Jerry giving me now? To fetch stick, out of tho river, I supposo ; but you sure ly don't want me to learn to do that?" No, Ned, 1 do not. But Jerry is try ing you now on quite a different tack, be cause he sees you have forgot already his last lesson to you about cruelty to ani mals." :". '. ' " y "Well, bow am I oroel now ?" "By not remembering, Ned, that it is a cold day for him to bo so long in the water. The sport wis very well at first both for ns and the dog , but yea never noticed that for the last fire miotutcs poor Jerry has been shivering violently with cold every time he came ont of the water. did notice it, but I thought I would see how long you would go on'" Oh, papa, I did not think of it. Poer Jeiry !" said Ned, blushing, and then, caressing his dog, who galloped off a hun dred yards a moment afterward and soon raced himself warm. "So you see that Jerry, observing you did not mind bis first lesson, was trying to give you another of quite a different kind," I went on. "What was that, papa?" "Why, I think he must have heard you when you were talking about Mr Wilson, (this was the name by which 'Old Goggles' was known to all tho world except his pupils) "and saying how much you hated learning those Greek verbs. So Jerry said to hissself. 'Now, IT, just show Ned practically what he ought to de about these verbs, and' " " ell ? Ah. pupa, you aro sticking fast !" "Net at all. 'I'll give him,' says Jerry, 'a right good example once for all of obedience, and cheerful obedience, too to show him lis ought to do things he does net like, when be knows it is right.' So Jerry plunged in time after time because you were his master and told him. And though he hated the business, and it made him as cold and miserable as was possible still he went on as long as you thought proper, and never even murmured. But I've no doubt he said to himself, as he gave himself that last Bha'.e, There! if Ned doscn't see what he ought to do abou ll 1 t. .aa a . II moso vems ancr an tnis, ne is a duller Ned than I take him to be. lie will sure ly never let himself he beaten by a dog." "Well, papa, I won't cither," said Ned, hanging down his head. "I promise you I won't slip them again." "Bravo, Jerry !" I cried, patting the poor dog's head. "You will be Ned's best master yet, I can see. But halloa, what is this? Oh, Jerry, 1 did not ex pect this from you," I said a minute af terwa'rd, as Jerry rut-bed up to a beggar he saw, aud began barking furiously at him, nod snapping at his heel. "Como away, Jerry, do you hear? Bad dog!" and Jerry came back, looking very miser able and with his tail between his le"s, while Ned began dancing about in glee and laughing slyly iu my face. 'Ha, ha, papu !" he exclaimed at last "Then Jerry does not always teach right 1 have caught you now." "Why, no, Ned," I replied; "I nm sorry to see that Jerry, after all, is like all other master ho makes mistakes sometimes. He has made one now, I sup poso. He is evidently a dog of aristo cratic tendencies, who dislike rags and tatters, and thinks such things have no busiuess in tho world ; so it is tho proper thing in his opinion to show a superb con tempt for poverty. I think I have heare young fellows in fact, 1 am not quite cer tain that I have not heard you, Ned talking about roughs and cads, meaning people probably quite as good as them selves, only poorer. Yes you were tell ing me the other day about your cricket match with the rational school, and how indignant you all were to be beaten by the cods. And perhaps, after all, Jerry only wishes to show you the absurdity of this feeling, by letting you see how silly it looks in a dog." However, Jerry retrieved his character before long ; for as we passed some farm houses on our return, a litth terrier came rushing out, and in the most insolent way began barking and snapping at our dog. But Jerry, though at first he made a pause and began wagging his tail by way of salute to tho small stranger, yet ' when ho saw the other's cantankerous, unfriend ly spirit, trottod gently on again in a dig nified way, moving neither faster nor slow er than before, ' and never taking the trouble to look aside at the barking curl When a big sheep-dog, however, bigger than our dog, and evidently wakened by the noise the terrier made, came bound ing out of the yard and flow at Jerry, the latter's wholo demeanor changed. At first iudeed he gave a gentlo wag of the tail, as much as to say, "Now, let us be friends and don't be silly," but when he saw tho sheep-dog also moant to annoy him ho rushed on him like lightning, rolled him over, and in a moment sent him back again faster than he came, and howling from a bite in the leg. i After this and a short pursuit, he resumed his stately trot whilo the terrier contented himself for the future with growling from within tbe gate. "Good dog, Jerry!" cried Ned, enrap tured at hie friend's triuvj b. "1 can tell what he meant to teach In there, pat a," hi continued, langti!bg ' lie was showing me that a real It bravo fellow won't touch a little boy, if the little on is rather impudent; but th instant a big fellow meddles wi'h him he goes at him like a brick." No bullying, eh T" I replied. Well, Ned, 1 perceive yon are begioog to God out this cunning old Jerry for yourself; so as I see the postman coming with t) e letters, IT. leave you to your lessons withi him." Good Words for the Young. Confession of Mrs. Sherman, (he Connecticut Borgia. Respectable women, of honorable and chast life and exemplary piety, who poison people at the average rate of one a year for eight years, are happily so rare in the annals of crime that we cannot pass by such an one without a moment's con sideration. The full coufessioo of Mrs. Sherman gives a pretty complete his! or j of her career as a murderess, though her motives are stated with a Lh'.ducss which at the samo time carries conviction and yet staggers that conviction by tho very honor of the deed. We will briefly state the leading facts. She was born, Christ mas eve, 1821, at Burlington, N. J., and her mother died nine months after. She was treated kindly in her girlhood, living in an uncle's family, with occasional visits to brothers. When about 20, sho began to learn the tailoress's trade and, being employed by a Mr. Owen, through his of forts became a member of the Methodist church. In her class she met Edward Struck, a widower with six children, arid! married him. He was a blacksmith, bet soon after they moved into New York and he became ono of the first metropoli tan police. He was discharged for alleg ed cowardice in kaking an arrest aud ap parently had th hybpochondria in conse quence. His old employer urged him to return to work in the old shop, but he re fused, fretted all the time, beoome morose' and took to his bed. lie refused medi - cine, ouce or twice throatoned suicide and she had to lock up a razor and pistol for fear ho would use them. Finally he be - came quite imbecilo and helpless, and wanted she should fiud places for the chil - dren. "I told him I could take care of them and he needn't worry, she says. This first case is tbe interesting oi.e, but seems to be ail there was iu it.. Ap parently this man and wife had stood by led. Her moral seusa was blunted, if each other faithfully for 18 years, and any ever was. Yet no other crime was seven children were growing up as the imputed to her so far as is kiown. .
