As OU Tear Sag.
As through the forest, disarrayed
By chill November, fate I stayed,
A lonely minstrel of the wood
Was singing to the solitude;
I loved thy music, thus I said
When o’er thy perch the leaves were spread ;
Sweet was thy song, but sweeter now
Thy eaml or. the leafless bough.
Sing, IitrTe bird! tby note sbali cheer
The sadness of the dying year.
When violets pranked the torf with blue
And morn'ng filled their cope with dew.
Thy slender voice with rippling trill
The budding April bowers would fill.
Nor passed ire joyous tones away
When April rounded into May;
Thy life shall {Mil no second dawn—
Sing, little bird I the spring is gone.
And I remember—welt-a day!—
Thy full blown summer roundelay,
Aa when behind a brnidered screen
Some bo|y maiden sings unseen ;
With answering notes the woodland rung.
And every tree top found a tongue.
How deep the shade! the groves how fair f
Sing. little bird! the woods are bore.
But now the summer’s ehant is done
And mute the choral antiphon ;
The birds have left the shivering pines
To flit among the trellised vines.
Or fan the uir with scented plumes
Amid the love-sick orange blooms.
And tbou art here alone—alone—
Sing, little bird! the rest have flown.
The snow has capped yon distant hill.
At morn the running brook was still.
From 4riv.»n herds the clouds that rise
Are like the smoke of sacrifice.
Ere long the frozen sod shall mock
The plowshare, changed to stubborn rack.
The brawling streams shali soon be dumb—
Sing little bird! the frost has come.
Fast, fast the lengthening shadows creep.
The sougiess fowls are half asleep.
The air grows chill, the setting sun
May leave thee ere tby song is done.
The pulse that warms’ thy breast grow cold.
The secret die with them untold.
The lingering sunset still is bright—
Sing, little bird ! ’twill soon be night.

The history of the world and its present
coudiriun has established this fact—that all
countries are poor which export erode, row
material, and import the manufactured article;
and the tendency of the people is ail the time
towards a condition of dependence. To this
there have been no exceptions, and we would
do well to “ heed the warning, and escape the
doom.” Where the great industries—Agri
culture and -anufactures—are equally de
veloped, there general prosperity is assured.

But
Yet the sun shines out the brighter
When the stormy tempest clears.
There’s never a garden growing
With rases in every plot;
There’s never a heart so hardened
But it has one tender spot;
We have only to prune the border
To find the forget-me-not.
There's never a cap so pleasant
Bat bos bitter with the sweet; .
There’s never a path str nigged
That hears not the print of feet;
And we have a helper premised
For the trials we may meet.
There's never a son that rises
But we know ’twill set at night;
The thus that gleam in the morning.
At evening are just as bright;
And the hour that is the sweetest
Is between the dark and light.
There's never a dream that’s happy
But the waking makes us sail;
There’s never a dream of sorrow
Bat the waking makes us glad;
We shall look some da; with wonder
At the troubles we have had.
There’s never a way so narrow
But the entrance is made straight;
There's always a guide to point us
To the * little wicket-gate
And the angels will be nearer
To a soul that is desolate.

that she was fond of company and would con

was more forcibly reminded than ever before
what slaves we are to the caprice of fortune—
what victims to the vicissitudes of life, over
which we have no control. Here was a woman
who once held the destinies of a nation in her
band. To win her approval augured success
—to arouse her anger meant defeat. Health,
luxury, flattery, honors—everything this world
could give, was laid at her feet. Now an old,
feeble and jailed woman, deserted by friend*,
forgotten by the world, she ekes out a bare
existence in a retired boarding house, which
overlooks Washington square. Although in
her seventy-sixth year, she&till bears the traces
of having been a beautiful woman, and though
miserably dressed, she received us with the
grace and elegance of a Queen. We found her
very accessible; the conversation naturally

Wife-Selling Tn California.
The thriving town of Workington was hon
ored the other day with a visit by a young
man from Whitehaven in charge of a pgny and
cart, the lattercnntaining a quantity of apples,
which ho offered for sale. During his wander
ing* through the town he fell in with a laborer
and his wife, and after some conversation the
laborer offered to sell his “missus” to the ap
pie dealer for two shillings. Tba offer was
accepted, and aa the woman made no objection
to the arrangement a bargain was struck, the
money was paid, and the lady set oat with her
new lord and master on her travels, and did
her best to assist him in disposing of his stock
of apples. Her husband by way ot consoling
himself for the great loss he had sustained,
spent his wife's purchase money in beer. After
the money was gone, the desolate man began
to examine the situation, and arrived at the
determination to have his wife back again.
With this view he set out in search of the ap
ed. keen-eyed man who sits in the engine,
holds ia bis hands the door lives of the
thoughtless throng who are so secure In their
luxurious ease.

And it is th# same with the magnificent
floating palaces which ply oar streams and
traverse the ocean. Is the gilded saloons the
song, the jest, sod the convivial bout goes on.
while down in the dark, hot sad stiffing engine
room, deafened by the dank ef the Ireo Joints
of the ponderous grant, puffing and groaning
in the throes of its Herculean task, the patient,
watchful, keen-eyed engineer sirs unknown,
uncared far and untbought of.
And yet, hidden away m that cell of pande-
monian clangor and darkness, and alt oncared
for aa he is. that engineer boids in the palm of
his hand the lives of all on board. One mo
ment’s relaxation of that watchful care—one
moment's closing in sleep of that watchful eye
—one false movement of that steady hand, and '
the heart of humanity would grow sick with
the tale of disaster and of death.
And then the engineer would be thought of—
then wnald his name be beard, and though his
own life had paid the forfeit of that one short
moment of fatal carelessness, his name would
be linked with disgrace, and spoken of only
with execrations and with loathing.
Bat for all this, he toils on—watches on, and
the marvelims immunity from accidents with
which the millions of people travel, tells how
faithfully he toils, how keenly he watches.

We fear not. But then we do not know as
it matters much. Social honors at best are
but frothy things. Society is something like a
stream—its strong waters run deep; its foam
and its froth floats oo rhe surface.
The engineer, the machinist, the mechanic
are the deep, strong waters. The little pop

the apple dealer was firmly resolved to have

alas for her sex—took part with tbe apple-

took refuge in a house in King street. A

As Unwelcome Guest.
Oar young friead Parker went round the
other evening to visit tbe two Miss Smiths. Af
ter conversing with them awhile. Miss Susan
excused herself for a few moments and went
np stairs. Presently Parker thought he heard
her coming, and. slipping behind the door, he
suggested that tbe other Miss Smith should
tell Miss Susan 'that be hadT gone. Bat it
wasn’t Susan; it was old Mr. Smith in his
slippers. As be entered be looked around and
said to his daughter :
“ Ah, ba! So Parker’s gone, has he. Good
riddance. I was just cornin’ down to keep
my eye on him. I hope be hasn’t proposed to
you. Mary Jane. I don’t want any such lan
tern-jawed. red-headed idiot around here. He
hasn't got the sense of a rata-buga turnip, or
money enough to bay a clean shirt. He gets
none of ciy daughters. I’ll shake the life out
of him if I catch him here again, mind me.’
Just aa he concluded, Susan came down,
and not perceiving Parker, she said ;
“ 1 hank goodness, he’s gone. That man is
enoagb to provoke a saint. I was awfully
afraid bo was going to stay ami spend the
evening. Mary Jane. I hope yon didn't ask
him to come again V
Then Parker didn’t know whether to stay
there or to bolt, while Mary Jane looked an if she
would like to drop in the cellar. Bat Parker fi -
■tally walked out, rushed to tbe entry, seized
bis hat. shot down the front steps, and went
borne meditating upon tbe emptiness of hu
man happiness, and the uncertainty ot Smiths.
He has not called since, and his life thus far
has been unmolested by the head of tbe Smith
family.
What » Instinct I
It lathe faculty of performing complex act*
absolutely without instruction, or previously
acquired knowledge. Instinct, then, would
enable animal.* to perform spontaneously ac
tions which, in the ease of man. presuppose
rati'ieination. a logical train of thought; bat
when we test tbe observed facts that are usu
ally brought forward to prove the power of in
stinct it is found that they are seldom conclu
sive. It was nn such groands that the song
of birds was taken to be innate ; albeit a ve
ry ready experiment would have shown
that it comes from theedueation they receive.
Daring the last century. Barr inton brongbt
np smqe linnet*, taken from tbe nest to com
pany with larks of sundry varieties, and found
that every one at those linnets adopted com
pletely the song of the master set over them,
so that now these linnets—larks by naturali
zation—form a company apart, when placed
among birds of their own species. Even the
nightingale, whose native sound is *i sweet,
exhibits, under domestication, a considerable
readiness to imitate ether singing birds. The
song ef the bird is. therefore, determined by
its education, and the same most be true of
net building. A bird brongbt sp in a cage
does not build the nest peculiar to its species.
In vain will yen supply all the necessary ma
terials ; the birds wilt employ them without
skill, and will often renounce all pupates of
.fetdding anything like a oaet- Does not this
well-known feet prove that, instead ef bring
guided by instinct, the bird foams how r»
build h»aest,Juat sen. nan foams to build a
house.
Aa Indian Story.
There is an Eastern story, which has its v»r-
sirtn in runny language*, of a beautiful damsel
to wh<m a goniu* of surpassing power dvsiml
to givwa talisman. He enj->ine<l her to take
herself acmes a field of standing corn; she
was to pluck the tallest and large*c ear son
could find, bat she was to gather it as she went
forward and never pause in her path, ar to
step backward in search of her object. In
proportion to the size and richness of the ear.
so would be its power as a talisman. She
went out upon her quest, says Che legend, and
entered upoa the field. Many a tall stalk of
surpassing excellence met her glance, but she
still walked onward, expecting always to find
one more excellent still. At last she reached
a portion of the field where the crop* were
thinner and the ears were stunted. She re
gretted the tall and graceful stalks site hail
left behind, but disdained to pick those which
fell so (hr below what her ideas were of a per
feet ear. But, alas! tbe stems grew more rag
ged and more scanty aa site trod onward ; on
the margin of the field they were mildewed,
and when she bad accomplished her walk
through the waving grain, she emerged on the
other side without having gathered any ear
whatever. The genius rebuked her foe Ijpr
folly, bat we are not told that he gave her an
opportunity of retriev ing her error. We ma>:
apply this mystic little Indian fable to the real
ities of daily life.
' Goals Betder.—The Davenport (tow*)
Gazette states that S.T. Parker, of that town,
baa introduced an improved grain-bindpr. at
tacbed tothe side of a reaper, the bed of which
is traversed by a aka on an endless belt that
carries the grain from before the sickle, when
cut, and lays it over an the binder. This is *
concave of sheet-iron, in which tbe grain lies
until bunnd. From a spool the twine unwinds
tbrongh the tying apparatus, is caught by a
nipper, carried around and wrapped tight on

tire sheaf drops to the ground securely bound.
