He sits in winter’s sleet, and the snow is round his feet, But he cares not for the cold ; For his little cheerful heart thinks the snow as fair a part As the summer s green and gold. On the branches, bare and brown, with their crystals for a crown, Bita the little winter-bird, In the dark and cloudy days, lightening the ; n i tohely ways, With his constant,chreoring word. To hia- mission he is true; God has work for him to do, With his little song to cheer ; In his sweet life's simple speech, lessons high and glad to teach, In the dark days of the year. Oh! his little heart is strong, and he never thinks it wrong That to hiip this lot is given ; Never envies birds that sing in (fee summer or the spring Underneath a heaven. So he is a teacher sent, with a lesson of eon . tent, To all spirits that are sad : And his song, with richest freight, comes to all the desolate, Bidding sorrow’s self be glad. i Would’st thou choose thy time or way? does the little poet say, God hath ordered these for thee ; Where thy life can praise him best, he has set thee—only rest, And his purpose thou shalt see. Ye around whose life the snow lieth heavily and low, Takes lesson from the bird, As God giveth you a day, 6trivc to charm the gloom away. Whether listened or unheard. • God hath singers, many a one, that can praise him in the sou, As the happy cherubim; But I think the songs they raise who aro toilers in dark ways, Are a sweeter sound to Him, Not by outer joy and sweetness does Ho judge of life's completeness, But by surer test of worth. It may be He gives the grace of his heaven’s highest place To the lowest of the earth. —— # ♦> -• NUTTING TIME. nr riTZ-JAMES o’briex. The nuts arc ripe and the day is fine, Hie purple hills in the sunlight shine, And the brown nuis redden the trembling tops Of each gnarled tree in the hazel copse. The copse is tilled with the happy noise >f laughing girls and climbing boys, And the b- ateu branches yield their fruit, That heavily drops at each old tree's root. finder the brow of the copse crowned hill, Ethel and I sit silent and still, And I hold in mine her soft white hand, The smallest and whitest in the land. lather your fruits, ye lads above, And fling the nnts at the girl you love; The only fruit that to me was dear I have gathered to-day in the white hands here. UHoccUancons. The National Union Party. In one of his recent able speeches in New York, Senator Wilson thus described the achievmenls of the Union parly since its formation. It is u glorious n-coid : ‘•L t me rapidly sketch its achievments. It came into being eleven years ago to maintain the cause of Ainericau and uni versal liberty ; to resist the encroachments of slavery, which claimed more than 500. 000 square miles of -the public lands. It denounced the infamous declaration of Judge Tarney, that the negro had no rights a white man was bound to respect.” In Kan sas it repelled the bloody ruffians intent on enslavement; in Congress it rebuked the Locomplot) swindle. It chos-' Tor its stand ard bearer the sainted Abraham Lincoln. [Applause.] It received the Government from the hands of the corrupt Democratic pnrtv, with its armies scattered and de bauched, its navy crippled. With three vessels and a few skeleton regiments of regulars to begin upon, it raised two mil lions of men, six hundred ships of war, three thousand trillions of money, to meet the most colossal rebellion the world ever saw. Its every individual was fired with a love of liberty and a love of liberty and a love of Union. [Cheers.] No Republican was ever found firing at his flag or shooting down its defenders. Of all the swarms in Rebel gray, most of them were the leaders of the Democratic party, and the men who clung to the party, were the ones to demand a cessation of hostilities, and proclaimed the war in behalf of the Union a failure. All the 325,000 who now sleep in untimely graves on fields red with their blood, are the victims of the treachery, the dishonesty, and the folly of Democrats, so-called. — Well the Republican party has saved the Union, defeated its enemies, and they are now crawling up the steps of the White House for pardon. It has done for Ameri ca what Cromwell did for England. Is this a record that it should be ashamed of?— What has tho Democratic party done that it should live ? [Cheers.] no gentlemen ; the Union has a bright and glorious future.— It h 9 wrought more of good to the world, and in less time, too. than any organization that ever existed. You have reason to be ” proud of it. It will continue the work.— It will protett all men. of whatever race, : in their lives, their labor, their homes and 1 their persons. It will care for the widows and families of its fallen heroes. It will secure the sacred fulfillment of that debt incurred for the safety of the country as a religious obligation.” —g ■■ A Curt Answer. Some years ago, an old sigo-painter, who was very cross, very gruff, and a little deaf, : was engaged to puiuL the Ten Command . meats on some tablets in a church not five miles from Buffalo. He worked two days at it, and at the end of the second day the pastor of the church came to see how the ! work progressed. The old man stood by, smoking a pipe, as the reverend gentle man ran his eyes over the tablets. “Eh !” said the pastor, as his familiar eye detected something wrong in the wording of the 1 precepts ; “why, you careless old person, you have left a part of the commandments out ; don’t you see ?” “No, no such a thing,” said the old man, putting on his spectacles ; “no, nothing left out—where ?” “Why, there !” persisted the pastor ; “look al them in the Dible ; you have left , some of the commandments out.” “Well, what if I have ?” suid old Obsti nacy, as be ran his eve complacently over his work ; “what if l have ? There’s more 1 there now than you’ll keep !” Another and a more correct artist was employed the next day. JgyNearly all brave men have been fine ly organized, utid thereby of nervous tern* > peraments. Julias Caesar wasmervous, so was Bonaparte, so was Nelson. Tbr Duke, of Wellington saw a man turn pale os he marched up to a battery. Said he : "That man is a brave man ; be knows bis danger and faces it. M Deaths of English Kings and Queens. William the Conqueror died from en mous fat, from drink, and from the vio lence of hi* passion*. William Rufus died the death of the poor stag* that he had hunted. Henry the First died of gluttony. Henry the Second died of a broken heart occasioned by the bad conduct of his chil dren. Richard Occur de Lion died like the ani mal from which his heart was named by an arrow from an archer. John died, uobody knows how, but it is said of chagrin, which we suppose is anoth er term for a dose of hellebore. Henry the Third is said to have died a’ natural death. Edward the First is likewise Raid tohave died ofa“ natural sickness' 1 a sickness which it would puzzle all the college of physi cians to denominate. Edward the Second was most barbarous ly und indecently murdered by ruffians em ployed by his own mother and her pafu nionr. Edward the Third died of dotage, and Richard tho Second of starvation, the very reverse of George the Fourth. Henry the Fourth is said to have died “of tits caused by uneasiness,’’ and uneasi ness,” in palaces in those times wus a very common complaint. Henry the Fifth is said to have died “of a painful afflict ion, prematurely!” This is a courtly phrase for getting rid of a king. Henry the Sixth died in prison, by means known then only to his jailor, and known now only to Heaven. Edward the Fifth was strangled in the tower by his uncle, Richard the Third. Richard the Third was killed in battle. Henry the Seventh wasted away as a miser ought to, and Henty the Eighth died of carbuncles, fat and fury, while Edward the Sixth died of a decline. Queen Mary is said to have died of a broken heart,’’ whereas she died of a sur feit, from eating too much of black puddings. Old queen Bess is said to have died of melancholy, from having sacrificed E.-scx to his enemies—her private character not being above suspicion. James the first died of drinking, and of the effects of nameless vice. Charles the First died a righteous death on the scaffold, aud Charles the Second died snddeuly, it is said of apoplexy. William the Third died from consump tive habits of body, and from the stumb ling of his horse. Queen Anne died from her attachment to “strong water,” or, iu other words, from drunkenness, which the physicians politely called dropsy. . George the First died of drunkenness, which his physicians a8 politely called an apoplectic fit. George the Second died of rupture of the heart, which the periodicals of that day termed a visitation of God. It is the only instance iu which God ever touched his heart. George the Third died as he had lived— a madman. Throughout life he was at least a consistent monarch. George the Fourth died of gluttony and drunkenness. William the Fourth died amidst the sympathies of his subjects.— The Crisis. Opening of Congress. From the Washington Star. The Capitol was densely crowd d by vis itors to-day, for the purpose of wiinessing the opening scenes of Congress. Since last session considerable improvement ha" been made to the interior und the Halls begin to assume their intended appearance. The old railing and walls which obstructed the passage from the rotunda to the Con gressional Library has been removed, and a neat white marble railing substituted. — In the rotunda several new paintings are displayed, and the ceiling is still unfinished, a platform, used by the artists engaged in painting the upper portions of the arch, obstructing the view into the apex of the dome. The staircase leading to the top of the dome is completed, and a number of parties, for the first time, cl tubed to the lofty height, to obtain a view of the city and its euvirous. The passage from the eastern portico of the south wing to the Hall of Representatives is also finished, adding very much to the beauty of that portion f the building. The old Hull in its new dress presents a very fine appear ance. The floor of marble tile is all laid down, and several busts of distinguished men are mounted on pedestal within the high bronze railing which borders the nar row passage. A new carpet, imported from France, has been put down on the floor of the House, and new furniture has bee • ad ded to many of the adjacent apartments.— With the exception of the increased num ber of desks for members, the hall presents, however, the same appearance as last win ter, the carpet being light green, with small orange colored stars. No change i> noticeable in the Senate wing. By 12 o'clock all the corridors surround ing the Hall of Representatives were block ed up by the throng, hundreds making strenuous efforts to force a passage into the reporter’s gallery, which by great ex ertion on the part of the doorkeeper, was ' preserved exclusively for the members of the press. The families of repre sentatives of foreign Governments fill ed the gallery assigned to the Diplomatic Corps, many being compelled to stand in the isle and*doorway. During the call of the roll by the Clerk of the House, the space in the rear of the members’ desks was occupied by crowds of visitors, whom the doorkeepers were unable to eject.— There were quite a number of Southern Represoutives present, most of them taking seats among the other members. Baptizing a Sinner. Poor people have a hard time in this world of ours. Even in matters of re ligion there is a vast difference between Lazarus and Dives, as the following anec dote, copied from an exchange, will illus trate : . Old Billy G had attended a great re^ vival, and in common: with many others he wus “converted’’and baptised. Not many weeks afterwards, one of his friends met him reeling home from the court-grounds with a considerable brick in his hat. “Hel lo, Uncle Billy,” said the friend, “I thought you had joined the church ?’ “So I did,” answered Uncle Billy, making a desperate effort to stand still ; “so I did Jeemes. and would a'bitt a good Baptist, if they hadn’t treated tne so everlastin’ mean at the water.

NO. 829. - ' ..i—— “Young America.” If there is any one thing more ominous of evil to our country than another, it i* that of tobacco smoking on the part of the young men. This habit has long been on the increase and is now, probably, more rapidly extending than ever before, Go where you will, on steamers, ferry-boats, stages or railroad cars ; stop where you must, in hotels, depots, public halls. ect„ in all such places ami on all occasions where a crowd of people assemble, there the to bacco smoßcrs will he also. Nor does the common notice, “No smoking allowed,” prevent their intrusion int& parlors, pri vate rooms and other placet where deeen cy is a commandment. And who are those (icasons, so bold in filthiness; so lost to shame ; so tinfonsCious of their own imper tinence and offensiveness;; so reckless of the feelings and opinions atid rights of oth ers, and so seemingly destitute of all sense of pnriety or propriety ? They are mostly young men ; many of them are mere boys. Three quarters, if not nine-tenths, of ull the tobacco smokers who obtrude them selves into crowds, and puff tbeir foulness into every body's face, with no respect for ; persons and no regard to notices to the contrary, are young men. Their fathers and grand fathers, if they smoko at all, usu ally have some sense of propriety left.— They smoke in private in their own places. They seem to know that others have rights and noses as well as themselves. But with "Young America” this is very different'.— Our young men seem to prefer to do their smoking ip the most offensive manner pos sible, and where they can render* themselves as disgusting as possible. They seek the crowd, they smoke while walking with a la dy in the streets. They stride into public room-, pii vale houses, and parade them selves, with a lighted cigar or a burning pipe in tbeir mouths, alternately ejecting suffocating smoke aud nauseous spittle, as unconcernedly about the wishes or opinions of others, and with us much self complacen cy and moral obliviousuess as might be expected from a donkey or a goat. Can uothing be done to prevent these caraca tnres of humanity from becoming the fath ers of a race of degenerated pigmies, whose existence can only be a disgrace to human nature and a cause to the world ?— Herald of Health. Fashion and Women. The laws of fashion are as inexorable as the laws of Moses. An exchange gives the following view of the matter: ••Fashion kills more women than toil and sorrow. Obedience to Fashion 4b a trans gression of the laws of womau's nature, and greater injury to her physical aud mental constitution than the hardships of poverty ami neglect. The sluvewoman will live and grow old, and see two or three gener ations of her mistresses fade and pass away. The washerwoman, with scarcely a ray of hope to cheer her in her toils, will live to see her fashionuhl. sisters all die around her. The Mlchen-maid is hearty and strong, when her lady has to be nursed like a sick baby- It is a melancholy truth, that fa.-hion-pampered women are almost worthless for all the great ends of human life. They have but little force of human character; they have still less power ol moral will, and quite as little physical en ergy,,. a They live for no great purpose tftrough life; they accomplish no worthy ones. They are doll-forms in the hands ol milliners and servant, to be dressed and fed to order. They dress nobody; thee feed uobody; they instruct -nobody; they ble-s nobody, and they save nobody. 'They write no books, the set no rich example ol virtue and woman life. If they rear chil dren. servants and nurses do all 6ave to conceive and give them birth. And when reared, what are they?

Tho “mothers,” likewise, seemed especially anxious to screen tbeir little innocents heads from prying curiosi ty, folding them closely to their breasts, and permitting only the neat little feet and legs, encased iu tiny shoes aud stockings, -o be exposed to the gaze of the passen gers. The detectives were on the alert, and at the first station this side of the riv er where several of the possessors of the passive juveniles left the train, one of the officer* politely requested permisson of a lady to hold her “baby ’ while she alighted. Struck with the unusual weight of the in fant, <fc the excessivesolicitude of the moth er, the officer commenced an investigation, and on removing the wrappings discovered that the interior was a tin case, fashioned after the similitude of a veritable baby, fill ed with from three to five gallons of whis ky.

Mr. Editor :-I have been sendin’ my dater Nancy to school lo a schoolmaster in this naborbood. Last Friday I went over to tho school just to see how Nancy was gittin’ * along, and I see’s things I didn’t liae by no means. ’The schoolmaster was lamin’ her things entirely out of the line of eddy cation, and. as 1 think improper. I set awhile in the school house and heered one class their lesson. 'They was a spellin, iatid I thbt spelled quite exceedingly.— Then cum Nancy's turn to say her lesson. She said it very spry. I was shockt! and determined she should leave that school. 1 have heered that gramar was an uncom mon fine study, but I don’t want any more gramer about my house. The lesson that Nancy sed was nothin’ but the foolishest kind of talk, the ridicles luv talk you ever seed. She got up, and the first word she sed was, “I love 1” I looked rite at her hard for doing so improper, but she went rite ou and sed : “Thpu lovest, he loves,” and I reckon yon never heard such a rig germyrole in yonr life—love, love, and noth in’ bat love. She sed one time, “I did 16ve.” Sez T, “Who did yon love ?” Then the scholars luffed, but 1 wasn’t to be put off, and I sed. “Who did you love, Nancy ? I want to know, who did you love ?” The schoolmaster, Mr. McQuillister, pat in, and he said he would explain when Nancy finished the lesson. This sorter pa cyfied me, and Nancy went on with awful love talk. It got wus and wus every word. She sed, “I might, could or would love.” I stopped her agin, and sed I reckon I would see about that, and told her to walk out of that bouse. The schoolmaster tried to interfere, but I wouldn t let him say & word' Hesedlwasa fool, and 1 nockt him down and made him holler in short or der. I taulktthestrate thing to him. I told biiii Ide show him how hede lain my dater gramer. I got thp nabers together, and we sent Mr. McQuillister off iu a hurry, and I reck on tharl be no more gramer techin in these parts soon. If you know of any rather oldish man in your reegett thatdoant teech gram er, we wood be glad if you wood send him up. But in the footure we will be keerful bow we employ meu.

A Tight Place.— Brother G—, in times of revival and protracted meetings, always stepped iu and took charge of the singing, lie was very fond of that interminable song that begins with “Where, 0 where is good old Adam ?” and might end with the last man. He had passed through the patri archs and prophets of the olden time, and the disciples and blessed women of the New Testament, when John the Baptist occurred to him. “Where, 0 where is John the Baptist?” Safe in the promised land. “He went up”—-but still there was dificulty in fixed the Baptist’s ascession.— At length with desperate energy he pat it through. He went up without any head on, safe in the promised laud.” Two Ways of Fishing. —When men go fishing for trout, says tbn Rev. Dr. Bellows, they take a light, tapering pole, with a fine silken line attached, and a sweet morse! of worm on the end. They noiselessly drop the line into the water and let it Boat to the fish, who nibbles, and by a slight twitch is safely lauded on the bank. But when men go fishing for souls, they tie a cable on to a stick of timber, and an anchor is a hook. On this a great chunk of bait is stuck, and with this ponderons machine grasped in both hands, they walked up and down threshing the water, and bellowing at- the top of their voice, “Bite or be damn ed.” “Let II er Go.’’—“l was.*’ said a reverend gentleman, “attending divine service in Norfolk, several years ago, during a season of excitement. While the officiating cler gyman was in the midst of a most interes ting discussion, and old lady among the congregation arose and clapped her hands and exclaimed : Merciful Father, if I had one more feather, in my wing of faith I would fly to glory.’ The worthy gentleman, thus interrupted, immediately replied, “Good Lord stick it iu and let her go, she’s but a trouble here.” “That quieted tho old lady."
