On the long, thorny blackberry vines. .

They pick uptbe' beautiful sea shells
Fairy barks that have drifted to bind.
They wave lrom the tall, rocking-tree tops
Where the oriole's hammock nest swings,
At night time are folded in slumber
Bv a song that a fond mother sings.
Those who toil bravely are strongest.
The humble and poor become great;
And from these brown-banded children
Shall grow mighty rulers of State.
The pen of the author and statesman
The noble and wise of the land
The sword and the chisel and palette -
Shall be held in the little brown haad.
A SHORT STORY.
By the side of the murmuring stream,
An elderly gentleman sat;
On the top of his head was his wig.
And a top of his wig was his hat.
The wind it blew high and blew strong,
As the eMerly gentleman sat:
And it tore from his head in a trice.
And plunged in the river his bat.
Thogentleman then took his cane,
Which lay by his side as he-sat,
And he dropped te tbelnrser his wig . M -In
attempting to gef out. hii hat.
His breast it grew oold with despair, ..
, . ... And full in, his eye. sadness sat; e
So he flung iii the river his cane,, , t ., ;i
' ' Tb swim with bis wfg and his hat.

separation- of brothers !
As men, the Twins have not always
lived in perfect accord; but still,
there has always been a bond between
them which made them unwilling to
go away from each other and dwell
apart. They have even occupied the
same house, as a general thing, and it
is believed that they have never failed
to even sleep together on any night
since they were born. How surely
do the habits of a lifetime become
second nature to us ! The Twins al
ways go to bed at the same time ; but
Chang usually gets up about an hour
before his brother. By an under
standing between themselves,- Chang
does all the in-door work and Eng
runs all the errands. This is because
Enff likes to so out ; Chaug's habits
aresedentary, However, Chang al

We have .often heard of remarkable
cases of "absence of mind." : Here is
one e.qual.to .anything we. ; hay seen
lately. . The man was doubtless a very

"Well, see now I grant its allO K

two hams one, part cut three ropea,'

cap'n, I am dubbersom. I feel there's
something short. Though rye count
ed 'em nine tiroes, and never, took ray
eyes off 'em while on board, there's
something not right, somehow.'7;
"Well, stranger, .the. time;is'.up;

Talking of legal witticism (and,
perhaps, the proportion of wit to talk
is less in law than, in anything else)
a story we have heard of the late
Thad. : Stevens beats any '- other.
While Thad, was a young lawyer, be
once had a case before a very bad tem
pered judge of an. obscure Pennsyl
vania court. Under what he consid
ered a very erroneous ruling, it was
decided against1' liim ';" 'whereupon ,h
threw dowii his books 'and picked 'np
his hat in a high state of indignation,
and was about to leave the court-room
scattering imprecations all around him
The Judge straightened himself to his
full height, assumed an air of offend
ed majesty, aiid asked Thad.; if 'he
meant to ."rexpress bis contempt of
this courts"; : Thad. turned to him very '
deferentially, made a respectful bow,
and replied in feigned amazement i
"Express my contempt for this court !
No, sir 1 lam trying ,to conceaj it,

leave, "but it's d d hard to db if

. Seat yourself at a table. . Attach It
piece of metal (say a : Bbilling) to , a
thread, : - Haviug placed your elbow on
a table, hold the thread between the
points of the thumb and. forefinger;
and allow the shilling to bang ; in th
centre of a glass tumbler. The pulse
will immediately cause the 'shilling to
vibrate like a- pendulum, and the vi
brations, will increase until the shil
ling strikes the side of the glass ; and
suppose the time of the experiment
be at the hour of seven,- or half-paat
seven, the pendulum will strike tha
glass seven times, and then' lose Its
tnoincutnm and return to the centre;
if. you hold the thread a sufficient
length of time, the effect will b! re
peated ; i . but not 1 until a -: snnlcient
length of time has ; elapsed' to corn
