[From the Mother's Magazine.] IT IS NOT HARD TO DIE. “Oh ! Mother, say, must we all die? You, sister, dear papa and I? I do not like to think I shall Lie in the deep dark grave so stilfc Mother, I’m fond of life and play, And like not be borne away, From the green fields and pleasant light, To lie where it is always night." • “Come hither child, and you shall place W ithin the earth, in yonder vase, This grain." “O, it is smooth and round ! Mother, put not in the ground Th is pretty grain.” “Do it, my love ; For by this seed I wish to prove, Tiiat it is not so hard to die, And in the deep dark grave to lie.” “How sweet a fragrance fills the room! Mother, your flowers are now in bloom ; And oh! how beautiful they seem While standing in the bright sunbeam ! Mother, I’m glad yon made me place That smooth round seed within the vase ; For more delighted now, I see The blosoms on this pretty tree, Which from that buried grain has sprung." “ Tis thus, my r love, with children young And loved to God—their bodies die, And like that grain in earth must lie, But like this flower from thence shall rise, A form of beauty in the skies, — Which quickly springing from the tomb, In paradise shall ever bloom.” miscellany. THE HOLE IN MY POCKET. BY JAMES H. PERKINS. It is now about a year since my wiG, said to me one day, “Pray, Mr. Slackwa ter, have you that half dollar about you that I gave you this morning?” I felt in my waistcoat pocket, and I felt in my breeches pocket, and I turned my purse inside out, but it was all empty space— which is very different from specie; so I said to Mrs. Slackwater, “ I’ve lost it, my dear; positively, there must be a hole in my pocket!” “I’ll sew it up,” said she. An hour or two after, I met Tom Steb bins. “How did that icc-cream set?” said Tom. “It set,” said I, “like the sun, gloriously.” And as I spoke, it flashed upon me that my missing half dol lar,had paid for these ice-creams: howev er, I held my peace, for Mrs. Slackwater sometimes makes remarks; and even when she assured me, at breakfast, next morning, that there was no hole in my pocket, what could I do but lift my brow and say, “Ah, isn’t there? really!” Beforb a week had gone by, my wife, who, like a dutiful helpmate, as she is, always gave me her loose change to keep, called lor a twenty-five cent piece that had been deposited in my sub-treasury for safe-keeping. “There was a poor woman at the door,” she said “that she’d promis ed it to, for certain.” “Well, wait a moment,” I cried; so I pushed inquiries first in this direction, then in that, and then in the other: but vacancy returned a a horrid groan. “On my soul,” said I, thinking it best to show a bold front,‘you must keep my pockets in better repair, Mrs. Slackwater; this piece, with I know not how many more is lost, because some corner or seam in my plaguey pockets is left open.” “Are you sure?” said Mrs. Slackwater. “Sure! ay that I am; its gone! totally gone!” My wife dismissed her promise, and then, in her quiet way, asked me to change my pantaloons before I went out, and to bar al! argument, laid another pair on my knees. That evening, allow me to remark, gentlemen of the species “husband,” I was very loath to go home to tea; I had half a mind to bore some bachelor friend; and when hunger and habit, in their unassuming manner, one on each side, walked me up to my own door, the touch of the brass knob made my blood run cold. But do not think Mrs. Slack water is a tartar, my good friends, be cause I thus shrunk from home; the fact ‘■Was, that I had,-while abroad, called to mind the fate of the twenty-five cent piece, which I had invested, as larger a mounts are often invested, in smoke, — that is to say, cigars; and I feared to think of her comments on my pantaloons pock ets. These things went on for some months; we were poor to begin with, and grew poorer, or, at any rate, no richer, fast. Times grew worse and worse: my pocket leaked worse and worse; even my pocket book was no longer to be trusted; the rags slipped from it in a manner almost! incredible to relate. As an Irish son<r says— = ‘And such was the fate of poor Paddy O'More, 1 hat his purse had the more rents as he had the fewer.’ At length, one day, my wife came in with a subscription paper for the Orphan’s Asylum; I looked at it, and picked my teeth, and shook my head, and handed it back to her. “Ned Bowen,” said she, “hasputdown ten dollars.” “The more shame to him, I replied, he can t afford it; he can but just scrape along, any how, and in these bard times it aint right for him to do it.” My wife smiled in her sad wav, and took the pa per back to him that brought it. The next evening she asked me if I would go with her, and spe the Bowens, and as I had no objections, we started. I knew that Ned Bowen did a small bu siness that would give him about SISOO a year, and I thought it would be worth : while to sec what that sum would do in ■ the way of housekeeping. We were ad- 1 mitted by Ned and welcomed by Ned’s ! wife, a very neat little body, of whom Mrs. Slackwater had told me a great deal, as they had been schoolmates. All was as nice as wax, and yet as substantial as iron; comfort was written all over the room. The evening passed, somehow or other, though we had no refreshment, an article which we neve/ have at home, but always want when elsewhere, and 1 re turned to our own establishment with mingled pleasure and chagrin. “What a pity,” said I to my wife, “that Bowen don’t keep within his income.” “He does,” she replied. * “But how can he on $600?” was my answer: it lie gives $lO to this charitv and $.» to that, and live so snug and com fortable too?” “Shall I tell you?” asked Mrs. Slack water. “Certainly, if you can.” “His wife,” said my wife, finds it just as easy to go without *2O or S3O worth of ribbons and laces, as to buy them. They have no fruit but uhat they raise and have giv«»~ ‘uem by country friends »hom uiey repay by a thousand little acts of kindness. They use no beer, wiiioW u not essential to his health, as it is to yours; and then he buys no cigars or ice cream, or apples at 100 per cent, on market price, or oranges at 12 cents a-piece, or candy, or new novels, or rare works that are still more rarely used; in short, my dear Mr. Slackwater, he has no hole in his pocket.” It was the first word of suspicion my wife had uttered on the subject; and it! cut me to the quick! Cut me? I should rather say it sewed me up, me and my pockets too; they never have been in holes since that evening.—[Cincinnati Chronicle. Woman. We extracted, a few days since, front an English paper, a remark, that, in the promotion of public or pri vate charities, one woman was wortli just thirteen men and a half. A young lady of this city, who possesses the means for judging, has sent us word that the ratio is nearer 18 to 1, in favor of the ladies, and she has appealed to us to sustain her as sertion. This appeal to us is well with reference to the general character of the sex, but unfortunate, as it regards partic ulars, because we are as ignorant in these matters of the ladies as uflcle Toby, whose declaration was made with so much emphasis to Squire Shandy, his brother. But our impressions are so strong of woman’s pre-eminence in works of goodness, that we are half inclined to defend the assertion, and trust to an im perfect memory for a few instances. Wc say nothing of Eve, nor will we allow her error to lie pleaded against us, —she was too recently from the side of Adam to have acquired any distinctive character, but take her daughter, perhaps her old est. When the first born of our race was driven forth from his home and his kind, he went not alone—the soothing cares of woman softened the judgment of heaven, and father, mother, home and its innocent delights, were sacrificed to the charit es of a wife, and she followed him, the accursed of God, to minister to his wants to hide, if not obliterate the mark of guilt upon his brow; to throw herself between his bloodstained bosom and the avenger’s sword! It was the woman, the mother, that sav ed and nourished the infant Moses. “My head, my head,” said the boy who had fclfcwed the fp.rdo members'* of- the family: into the field, and they hare him to his mother, and lie lay on her knees until lie died. It was woman, the daughter of Jephtha, that bowed her head submissive to the chieftain’s oath, and gave her life that she inigkt redeem a parent’s pledge. When the “Promised One” came, men and Kings indeed came and worshipped him, but woman watched his infancy, and ministered to his wants. It was woman that bathed his feet—it was woman that listened to his preaching—it was woman] that sought him “without”—it was wo man that stood at a distance and gazed latest upon his agonies at the cross, and it was woman that came first to inqnire at the tenantless grave. History teems with the efficiency of woman’s exertions, her long endurance, her ready sacrifices, and her successful labors; and now, when j ie manners of society have changed, we ii.ne only a change in the mode of her charities, none in the spirit of devotion and influences of them. I3 the “gospel to be preached to all creatures?”—woman bears the plea—her willing hand collects from a thousand sources the means to ful fil the purpose. She gathers a vast accu mulation, in particulars so trifling as to be overlooked by man, and when the or phan cries or widow supplicates, her hand can minister with a double efficacy, be cause it delicately ministers. We stop not to praise woman at the bed of sick ness, because no comparison exists at that place—there womftn is supreme. The physician may prescribe but woman must minister—she must watch, nourish, sus tain and charm to convalescence, or else her kindness must sooth the pillow, and hand close down the dimming eye. In such a situation, a woman is not to be val ued. “Her price is above rubies.” ! -A Rogue Caugiit.— An English gen tleman, residing at Cambridge, some months since had his desk broken open, and about S2OOO in gold stolen therefrom. Suspicion falling upon a son-in-law, who was employed as under keeper at the House of Correction at East Cambridge, and it being observed that a sort of inti macy existed between him and one of the cc.ivicts, a notoriously bad fellow, they where carefully watched.—About a week since, the convict applied to Mr. Watson, the master of the house, for leave to trans - plant a tree from one part of the prison yard to another, and a better location, which was granted. Surprised however, at the singularity of the request, Mr Watson ! determined unseen, to witness the proceed ings. When the hole hod been dug, and the tree in it, but before the filling “ft had commenced,the uiuWJ^acp*,- from one of the out buildings, and after examining the tree attentively and looking cautiously uhont, slid something from between his legs mio the hole, and after throwing in a quantity of dirt, which be carefully trod down, he allowed the convict to finish the filling up, which he awaited to superintend. After it was completed, the master came forward, and sending the convict to his cell, remarked that he did not like the location of the tree, and direct ed the under-keeper to take the shovel and dig it up again. This lie did very carefully, leaving a quantity of earth in the hole, which ho was also told to shovel out, —he did so, and also with it a little bag, which was found to contain a quantity of as fine gold sovereigns as ever were coined, and which have since been sworn to as the stolon property.—Of course it is unnec to add, that the dutiful son-in-law is no longer the keeper, but the kept.—Boston Mercantile Journal. The Barber’s Poi.f., which is the sym bol of the mystery of shaving by a razor, has been used for many years. Its origin is thus related in Pullcyn’s Etymological Compendium: ‘The origin of the barber’s pole is to be traced to the period when the barbers were also surgeons, under the denomination of Barber Surgeons, or Barber Ctiirurgcons, none other informer times being allowed to ‘let blood.’ To assist this operation, it being necessary for the patient to grasp a stafl, a stick or a pole was always kept by the Barber-Surgeon, together with the fillet or bandaging used for tying the patient’s arm. When the pole was not in use the tape was tied to it that they both might be forthcoming when wanted. On a person coming to be hied, the tape was disengaged from the pole and bound round the arm, and the pole was put into the person’s hand: after it was done it was again tied on, and in this state the pole and tape were often hung at the door, for a sign or notice to passengers that they might there be bled. At length, instead of hanging out the identical pole used in the operation, a pole was painted with stripes round it, in imi tation of the real pole and its bandagings, and thus came the sign.” /Eroxai’tks.

[ A Mercantile Pun.-A flock of birds flying over tho heads of twocity merchants, one of them exclaimed, “ How happpy those creaturesjife!

IN ADYA^ffe, • "-r t I; _ ■ I Origin of “Yr.s Horse.”— I man travelling through the pinewodtfs of I Georgia, arrived »t a settlement towards 1 evening, at one of the houses es whiefche stopped for the night. There hipffened to be a ball in the neighborhood, and he, being a stranger, was, as a matter of coarse] invited. During the evening, the gentle men regaled the marie* with Whiskey, and “giniwine” New* England, and the ladies amused themselves with eating roast ed potatoes— (which were banded round in place of cakes and wine,) taking the peelings off with their finger* niils.— Concluding to dance, the gentleman step ped up to a young lady who was busily employed in disposing of an enormous potatoe.and politely aaked her if she would dance with him in a set just forming? to which she replied: “ Yes.dHcwe, if I knows myself, I goes it. Here, Sol, (speaking to a friend beside) hold My Ha ter, while I trots a reel with this 'ere feller!” [Fed. Union. Nicely Caught. A few nights since a thieving rascal entered a house in the upper part of the city from the front door and commenced appropriating diversgoods and chattels to his own immediate ac count. While busily engaged another professional gentleman, a stranger, enter ed from the back door and “set up” in the same business. While both were pursuing their avocations noiselessly and in the dark, they accidentally came in contact, each thinking he had “ woke up” the lawful owner, a hard scuffle com menced, upsetting chairs and tables and raising such a tremendous racket that the proprietor was roused, who soon came to the scene of action with a candle, when the free-booters, discovering their mistake, made oIT leaving all their plunder, and escaped. It is a real pity the rascals were ■not allowed to make a “Kilkenny cat” aflair of it, and use one another up, Picayune. Farmer’s Anecdote. A farmer not more than 100 miles from Cape Elizabeth employed a shrewd neighbor to c** a pier.® grass for I®"*. Condi‘«rtlfifly that Tie should have one half of the hay. When his hay was dry his neighbor ceeded to haul it in, accompanied by the o,v ner to see the division. When he tliougfu th a t be had pitched one half on the cart, lie «.«ked old hunks if he had not got one hall » Qi ‘No, no> » wna t j, e reply and he then put „„ , nore> in asked the same question, ano ••reived for reply, ‘Not quite half yet.’ ‘Well, the other, ‘I will pitch on till you think I have got one half on;’ so he proceeded till about two thirds of the hay was on the cart, when lie was told that he had got on About one half. He then coolly observßlliat he would drive home with that Joadfbr himself, and then return and haul in the remainder for his neighbor. So the owner in managing to giving his neighbor only one third, had to take that for his own share. Sir Isaac Newton’s Courtship. It is said that Sir Isaac Newton did once in his life go a wooing, and, as he wag ex pected, had the greatest indulgence paid to his little peculiarities, which ever ac company great genius. Knowing that he was fond of smoking, the lady assiduous ly provided him with a pipe,—and they were gravely seated to open the business of Cupid. Sir Isaac made a lew whiffs —seemed at a loss for something—whiff ed again—and at last drew his chair near to the lady—a pause of some minutes en sued—Sir Isaac seemed still more uneasy —Oh t lie timidity of some, thought the lady when io, Sir Isaac got hold of her hand now the palpitations began— he will kiss it no doubt thought she, and then the matter is settled. Sir Isaac whiffed with redoubled fury, and drew the captive hand, near his head; already the expected salu tation vibrated from the hind to the heart, when, pity the damsel, gefttie read er, Sir Isaac only raised the fair hand, to make the fore finger what he much want ed—a tobacco stopper! A Chancery Prisoner. The tern key led the way in silence, and gently raising the latch of tho room door, mo tioned Mr. Pickwick to enter. It was a large, hare, desolate room, with a number of stump bedsteads made of iron, on one of which lay stretched the shadow of a man, wan, pale and ghastly. His breathing was hard and thick, and he moaned painfully as it came and went At the bedside sat a short old manib 4 cobler’s apron, who4>y the aid of SuPONI of horn spectacles, Waa reading fhMgf bible aloud. It was the fortunate le«|ne. The sick man laid bis hand umpTnui attendant’s arm, and motionestlbwge to stop. He closed the book andHud it on the bed. * “Open the window,’ «*«d the sick man. He did so. The noise of carriages and carts, the rattle of wheels, the cries of man and boys; all the busy sounds of a mighty multitude instinct with life and occupation, blended into one deep mur-
