With thy red lip, redder still,
Kiaaed by strawberries on tha hill;

Thou haat mere than ha ran bur,
In tha reach of ear and eye
Outwaid sanahine. Inward joj,
Blesaing on thee, barfool boy !
O, for boyhood's psinless play.
Sleep that wakes to laughing day,
Health that mocks the doctor's rules,
Knowledge iierer learned of schools,
Of the wild bee's morning chase.
Of the wild flower's time and place,
flight of fowl, and hnbiluda
Of the tananls of the wood ;
How the lortoiae bears his shell,
Ilosr tha woodchuck digs his cell.
And the ground-mole rinks his well t
II ow tha tobin feeds her young.
How I he oriole's neat is hung;
Where ths whitest lilies blow,
Where the freshest berries grow.
Where the ground-nut trails its vine.
Where tna wood grape's clusters shiue;
Of (ha black wasp s cunning way,
Mason of his walls of rlsy.
And tha architectural plans,
Of gray, hornet artisans!
For, eschewing books and taaka.
Mature answers all be aaka;
Hand in hunJ with bar he walks,
Face lo face wilh her he talks.

Crowding years in one brief moon,

Through tha day and through the night,

Miscellany
Good Things from the Knickerbocker.
FUN FROM JOHN PHENIX.
V rather iliitik upon the whole, that
we shall violute no couGdunce, nor do any
particular hurt, by pormitiing the reader
to have a peep at the following pnwngeg
from a private letter from Joliu I'heinx,
dated from Portland, Oregon Territory,
the latter purl of August Ust. Hisepis
lie ends with a poem, which is scarcely
luss characteristic than tho letter itself:
'It gives mo unfeigned pleasure to in
form you that I am about to quit the
gloomy and never-to be-dried-up sky of
Oregon, and 'repair without unner,eary
delay' to D , on out borders. Yes,
Sir, I'm off; nervioes no longer required
on these jntlenient shores shores which,
when you read of in Irving's 'Astoria,'
you naturally wish to bliold, and ad
mire old Antor's pluck in making estab
lishments thereon, and which, when you
reach, you wish yon hadn't, and admire
still more old Astor'a gcod sense in
breaking his establishments up, and quit
ting whilo there w yet lime.
Haiti is an exceedingly pleasant and
gratifyi g institution in its wy, and in
moderation; it causesthe grass to grow,
the blosioms to flourish, and is a positive
necessity to the umbrolla maker; but
when you got to a country where it rains
incessantly twentysix hours a day, for
seveuteon months in a year, yon eunnol
resist having the conviction forced upon
vour mind that the thing is slightly
overdone. That's the case m Oregon; it
commenced raining pretty heavily on the
third of last November, and continued Up
to the Dftoenth of May, when it t in for
a long storm, which ibtt'l fairly over yet.
There's moisture for you.
'The consequence of this awful cli
mnte are just what might be supposed.
The immense quantity of the protoxide
squirted about here causes trues, build
ings, streets, everything, to present a di
luted and wishy-washy appearance. The
women lose their color, the men their
Lair, (asLod off, oil',) aud the animals,
by constrint exposure, acquire scalos and
fins. liko the natives of the grat deep.
In fno', all the inhabitants of this territo
ry have K generally tcaly appearance, and
r-'joice in a peculiar rmell. a combination
I should say. of fih tail and a mud
sucker. The rains of Orogon beat any
thing in that line I ever beheld or con
ceived of. Those that full on Noah's ark
were not more heavy; those of Nero, Ca
ligula, and I. Neely Johnson, not more
terrible, nor those of Lady Suffolk and
Moscow longer or stronger, which is a
slightly mixed metaphor of a very happy
description. So, upon the whole, I'm
glad I'm off; yes, I am quite sure of it:
and I lonrr to I'd to I , where the
people enjoy tho light of the blessed sun,
and where I can enjoy it also, and dry
my things, and read Irving's 'Astoria.'
'Howheit, there are many interesting
and curious things in Oregon; many odd
and entertaining people also therein; and
have seen much that was tunnv, anil
laughed thereat, and should havefHiiirh-
Uouiter and longer, if my monih !,,
not tilled with rain bviore 1 bad liair fin
ished, and I niiuhl perhaps regret leaving
a country in which i have hau so much
positive enjoyment, were it not that I
have chronicled all these amusing thini's
and peculiarities, and shall lie glad to get
somewhere where I can have a drv
laugh over thorn. Such a thing as 'dry
humor' in Oregon is, of course, a physi
cal impossibility.
I recoived my Knicltrlocl-tr Maga
zine for the month of Auy-ust yesterday,
and felt extremely tickled at your most
mini notice ol my productions.
I enclose a short 'Poem,' which tolls its
own story. Set to music 'sulhin, slow,
and melancholy-like and accompnmed
bv the swindle, I should think it might
be well adnyted for the parlor, the boud
oir, or tho concert-room. It is plain un
varnished tale, not only fonnded on facts,
hut wilh all three stories, and the attic,
built of these materials:
Stanzas: Lines: Song: Ballad.

Revolutionary Incidents.
The hero of the following thrilling sto
ry whs embodied in the person of a stout
blacksmith, aye, an humble blacksmith,
but in his btout frame, burdened wilh
'oil, throbbed as generous an impulse of
freedom as ever beat in the bosom of La
Fayette, oi around the heart of mad An
thony Wayne. '
it was in full tide of the retreat that a
follower of the American camp, who had
at least shouldered a cart-whin in his
country's service, was dragging a baggage
wagon from the held of battle, wl'iiea
short distance behind, a body of contin
entals were pushing forward with a body
of British in pursuit.
The wagon had arrived ai a narrow
point of the by road lending to the south
where two hiifh banks of rocks and crags,
arising on either aide, afforded just spnee
sufficient for the passage of the baggage
wagons, and not an inch more. 1
His eves were, arrested by the sio-htof
a Stout, muscular inn, aprhrently some
forty years of age, extended at the fo t of
tree at the very opening of (lie pass.
He was clad iu the coarse attire of a
mir.liiinin Ilia enat had lll'l-fl fllinLr
aside, and wilh his shirt sleeves rolled up
from his muscular arm, he ley extended
on tho turf with his rifle in his grasp,
while the fclood pourel in a torrent from
right leg, which was broken at the j
oy a cannon ball. '
The wagoner's! sympathies were arrest-1
ed by thesi 'lit. IIo would have paused
In the Very "instauce of hia flight, aud
placed the
w.tgnn, but
wounded blacksmith in his
the stout-hearted man rt-
fused.
" I'll not get into your watron," said
he, in his rough way, " but I'll tell you
what I will do. Do you see yonder oher.
ry tree on the top of that rock that hangs
over the road ? Do you think you can
lift a man of my build up there? For you
see neighbor, he continued, while the
blood flowed down from his wound. I
never meddlod with tho Ilritishers until
they eamo tramjilinir over this vallov. and
burned my house down. And now I'm
all riddled to pieces, and hain't got more
than htleen minutes in me ; but I've got
three balls in my catridgn-box, and so
iust prop me up against that treee and
I'll jive them the whole three shots, and
then, exclaimed the blacksmith. I will
die."
The waironer started his horses ahead.
and then with sudden stTort dragged the"!
wuunaeti man along the sod (o the foot
ol the tree His fare was to tho advan
cing troopers, aud while his shattered leg
liung over the bank, the wagoner rushed
on ins way, when the doomed blacksmith
proceeded coolly to load his rifle.
it was not long hefore a body or Amer
ican soldiers rushei' by wilh the Uritish
in pursuit. The blacksmith greeted them
wilh a shout, and, raising his rifle to his
shouldot, he picked tho foremost from his
spirited steed, with the exclamation :
" Thnt's fur General Washington 1"
In a moment tho rifle was re-loaded,
and again it was fired, and the pursuing
British rode over another of their fallen
office ra,
" Thnt's for myself," cried the black
smith, and then, vt ith a hand strong with
the feeling of approaching death--again
loaded, raised his rifle fired his last
shot, and another soldier kissed the sod I
A tear quivered in the eye of the dying
blacksmith.
"And that," 1 e said, with a husky
voice, wincn at rent;! hened almost into a
shout, "is for mad Anihony Wayne I"

1. It is mean.. A man of high moral
standing would almost ns soon steal a
sheep as swear. ;
2. 1 1 is vnhjar; altogethor to low for
a decent man.
3. It is cowardly; implying a fear eith
er of not being believed or obeyed.
4. It is unqentltmatily. A gentleman,
according to Webster, is a gtntiel man
well bred, refined. Such a one will '.o
more swear, thnn go iino the street to
throw mud with a clod -hopper.
fi. It is indecent; offensive to delicacy,
and extremely unfit for human ears.

1. It is ahutive ; to the mind which

8. 1 1 is t'iowuus ; showing a man's
heart to bu a nest of vipers, and every
time he swears one of thorn sticks out his

D. It is contemptible; forfeiting tho re

10. It is wicked; violating the divine

A Lesson in Hospitality and Humility.
A while ago, s young gentleman visited
a venerable man, a high dignitary of the
Church, who for special reasons, lived on
small menus, at a low ront, in a quit)
lordly mansion. Assuming that the oc
cupant of such a dwellig must have ser
vants of all sorts, the visitor on retiring,
put his boots outside the door to be clean
ed, according to cu-lorn. Next morning,
on looking out of his chamber, ho saw
his silver-haired host in dressing gown
and slippers, coming quietly along the
entry, with said boots nicely brushed and
shining liko a mirror, in his patriarchal
hands. The astonishment and mortifi
cation of the guest may bo imagined.
But let that pass. The thing to te con
sidered is the noble old man, so rendy to
do what some foolish people would coi-
aider a menial act. rather limn be wanting

Baton by Wolves. "Hire a Clerk."
A tall, routrh-shod. sharn. vicntrad.
good-natured looking individual arrived
in our city a week aio. from the "111,11111.
tains,' and rut ud at what niiL'ht be call
ed one of our third-rate houses. The
rules were like those at most other estab
lishments of the kind, boarders being tn
kon by the day, week, or meal. Jim Pol
ter (wo had taken the name from the reg
ister) had "gone in" by the week, wilh
the understanding with the landlord that
he was to be credited for what he called
"lost time" at the usual rate. There was
nothing very unusual to this arrangement
though it did not turn nut altogether to
the landlord's satisfaction. At the end
of , the f ocond day it occurred to Jim that
Im had not seen Sacramento for upwards
of a year, nnd, as a thought with him
was almost a deed, be, without saying a
word to the landlord disappeared, ile
spent the remainder of the week at Sac
ramento, and reached Lis boarding Loase
here just in time to find the proprietor
calculating that Mr. Jim Poller was in
debted for one week's board, It look
Jim not long to prove that he had ki
out of town for days, and the bill agaiist
him was out down accordingly.
"See here old feller," broke Jim,
tho bill was being altered, "ef it't all
one to yeou I'll take a squint at than ar
books." ,
"There's your account, sir," said the
landlord, pretending not to notice Jim's
last remark. "Two duy'g board fi,
C2." Jim took the bill, and eyed the puailvd
landlord as though he suspected acne
"shenpnigau," he broke out
"Want t j see them ar books!"
The landlord told him he was asking
too much that no outsider was ptrmit
ted to examine Lis books.
Jim was now satisfied lh.it all was not
exactly right, and resolved to see the end
of it.
"Give me pen, ink and paper," said
he "1 waut to show you Low to keep
books." .
lie took the pen, and, aftor having ad.
ded up various small sums, mad-) out and
handed to the amarod landlord lha fol
lowing account:

"Thar she is!" said Jim ns he pasted the
slip. "I Tuck board by the woek you
know."
"Y-e-s," muttered the Lalf choked
landlord.
"fnd the bargain was that you was to
credit aie with lost time at theusu t) rate,
you know?"
"Y-e-a."
"Well, I boarded with you two days,
you know.
"Y-e e." . "
"I didn't board with you four days,
you know?"
"Yes."
"And you owe me for that.''
The landlord took a long breath, brush
ed the perspiration from his face and cast
ing his eyes vacantly upon the ceiling,
slowly ejivculalad
"Oh yes."'
"Now, I ain't goinrj to l hard on
you," said Jim; "you feed well ami aa
I'm goiu' up country to ruorrow, we'll
