“ Within thy realm no discord's jarring sound
I* heard, nor Cain and Abel there are found !”
Eastern Pm abb. —A roan was traveling
in Syria, leading his camel l>y the bridle.—
Suddenly the animid is seized with a panic
of fear—he raises himself with impetuosity,
foams and bounds in a manner so horrible
that his master abandons him in anguish and
tries to save himself. He perceived at some
distance from the road a deep stream, and
as he still heard the tearful neighing* of the
camel, he sought ?. refuge there and fell over
tlie precipice. But a shrub held him up. —
He clung to it with both hands, and cast on
every side his anxious eyes. Above him is
the terrible camel, of which he does not lose
sight for a moment. In the abyss below is
a dragon who opens his monstrous jaws, and
seems waiting to devour him. At the side
of him he perceives two mice, the one white,
the other black, who gnaw in turn at the
r|ot of the shrub which serves him for a sup
port. The unfortunate man remains there,
frozen with terror, and seeing no retreat, no
means of safety. Suddenly on a little branch
of his shrub lie discovers some fruit. At that
moment he censes to observe tbc rage of the
camel, the jaws of the dragon, the frightful
activity of the mice. He reaches out Ins
hand towards the fruit, lie gathers it, and in
the sweet tus/e forgets his fears and his dan
gers.
Do you ask who is this madman, who can
forget so ijuickly a mortal peril ( Learn,
then, friend, that this man is thyself. The
dragon of the stream is the ever-open abyss
of death. The camel represents the sorrows
of life. The two mice who are gnawing at
the roots of the shrub are day and night—
atnl iri this situation, the fruit of pleasure at
tracts you. You forget the anxieties of life,
the threatenings of death, the rapid succes
sion of day and night, to seek the plant of
voluptuousness on the borders of the tomb.
Medicine. —There is a great error commit
ted every day, in flying to medicine at once
when ihe functions of the stomach and liver
are disordered, the secretions nnnatuia], and
the food imperfectly digested. Instead of
exhibiting purgatives day after day to carry
off* diseased secretions, we should lessen and
simplify the food, in order to prevent the
formation of these hud secretions. In doing
this we have great prejudices to overcome.
The patient feels himself getting weaker and
thinner; and he looks to nourishing food and
tonics for a cure. But he will generally he
disappointed in the end hy this plan. From
four ounces of gruel every six hours lie will,
under many states of indigestion, derive
more nutriment*and strength than from half
a pound ol animal food and a pint of wine.
I have known dyspeptic patients gain flesh
and strength on halt a pint of good gruel
thrice in the twenty-four hours. The inva
lid will require a degree of strength and
firmness, if not fullness, of muscle on this
quantity*, (half a pound of fund at dinner,)
which will in time surprise his friends as
well as himself.— Dr. Johnson.
Fragments of Mythology. —The mytholo
gy of antiquity, like a garment of flowers,
was thrown around till the concerns of life,
to adorn and beautify every object that met
the eye, or entered the ear. It was spread
out, like an enchanted garden, before the
imagination, and charmed hy the half-con
cealed and mysterious events which were
supposed to he always transpiring. It peo
pled the universe with fanciful beings, and
explained the secret agencies of nature by
reference to a divinity. Most of the con
stellations were the offspring of this fruitful
mother. Ihe constellation called the Li/rc !
is accounted for, in ancient fable, in the fbl- i
lowing manner : There was a celebrated ;
poet and musician, the sou of Apollo mid >
Caiiope; his name was Orpheus. His mo
ther was one of the muses; his father gave
liim a lyre; he touched it with a master's
hand ; the music was divine. When lie
played, the rivers ceased to flow ; the fero
cious beasts of the forest gathered around
him ; and the oaks bowed their tops to listen
to his song. He married the beautiful Eu- !
rydice, but his happiness was of short dura ’
tion. Eurydice was bitten by a serpent and ;
died. Orplu us, overwhelmed with grief, :
resolved to ltd low her to the regions of death.
He descended to Hell and gained admit- I
tancc to Pluto, who was so charmed with ,
liis music, that he consented to restore to ‘
him his wife, upon the condition, that lie j
would forbear to look behind him fill he hud
passed the bounds of his empire. Thecon
dition was accepted, hut as they were very
near the region of light, the unhappy lover
turned his eyes to behold his long-lost Eu
rydice. He saw her, but she immediately
vanished away.” Orpheus, disconsolate anil
alone, wandered amongst the mountains of
Thrace, where he was torn in pi* res hy
Thracian females, who were there celebra
ting the rites of Bacchus, in revenge for the
coldness and neglect with which he treated
them. After his death, he received divine
honors and his lyre was hung up in the heav
ens and became the constellation called the
Ime
it was a beautiful thought of the ancients,
that echo was the voice of a beautiful maid
en, who, falling in love with a youth and be
ing neglected by him, was so grieved, that
she pitied away, till every (Art of her was
consumed except her voice, which became
immortal and still continues to haunt the
woods and fountains, repeating whatever
sounds may chance to reach her solitary re
treat.
There were three daughters of Erebus
and Nox, called Purccr. Their names were,
Clotho, Lochesis nnd Atropos. They had do
minion over the birth, the life and the death
of mortals Clotho presided over the natal
hour and held in her bund a distaff; Loche
sis spun out the thread of events ntid action
that were to transpire in human life ; ami
Atropos held a pair of scissois. with which
she cut tho thread ; thus ptolonging or short
ening, nt will, the course of mortal life.—
Hence we -do not wonder that these god
desses were worshipped with the must fear
ful solemnity, hy the weak nnd titnornus
children of men, over whose destiny they
had such unlimited control. For supersti
tion always shrinks from imaginary evils,
rather than confide- in the all-pcrvading good-
ness of the Author <7J M aker of all things.

Evening. —There are two periods in the
’ life of mau in which the evening hour is pe
! culiarly interesting—youth and old age. In
youth we love its mellow moonlight, its mil
lion of stars, its soothing shade and sweet
serenity. Amid these scenes, we can com
mune with those we love, nr.d twine the
wreath of friendship, while there are none
to witness but the gorgeous heaven, and the
spirits that hold their endless Sabbath there.
We look abroad on creation, spread in the
slumber of a moonlight scene around, and
wiapt iti contemplation, fancy we see and
hear the waving wings and melting song of
other and purer worlds. It accords with the
light How of youthful spit its, the fervency of
fancy, and the soft feelings of the heart.—
Evening is also delightful to virtuous age.
It affords hours of undisturbed thought. It
seems an emblem of the calm and tranquil
close of a busy life—serene and mild—with
the impress of its great Cieator enstamped
upon it. It spreads its quiet wings above the
grave, and seems to promise that all shall
be peace beyond it.
A Picture. —Look at the ignorant man.
Strong in muscle, furious in purpose —he is
a Sampson without eyes; the slave of ap
petite; the dupe if the quack; the thrall of
the fanatic; the creature of impulses and
impressions; the passive instrument in the
hands of the politic and agitator. An ignorant
man voting! Holding in his hands a ballot
he cannot read; carrying it towards the
omnipotent ballot box to drop into it the na
tion’s sovereignty ! Do you see your rela
tion to that tnan ! He is a partner to this
political firm ; you cannot withdraw ftnrn it
or throw him out; his lot is your lot—his
end, your end. An ignorant man voting is
like a blind physician who goes up to the
sick bed with a great club —he strikes—he
nmy hit the disease, he may hit the patient.
And how many blows do you dodge, annu
ally, through the lin lint box ? If we do not
educate this tremendous power of suffrage,
like the strength of Sampson, so far from
being our protection, it will but serve to
bring upon our heads, this temple of our
ancestors. We may “go ahead” with this
great mass of ignorance, but look out that
we break not down, midway in our career.
Connubial happiness is a thing of too fine
a texlureto be handled roughly. It is a plant
that will not even bear the touch of unkind
ness; a delicate flower, which indifference
will chill, and suspicion blast. It must be
watered w th a shower of tender affection,
expanded with a glow of attention, atid
guarded by the impregnable barrier of un
shaken confidence. Thus nurtured, it will
bloom in every season of life, and sweeten
even the loneliness of declining years.

MACHINE POETRY.
WORDS.
We know the meaning of most words
By sound ns well as sight;
They mean, although they have no mien,
So mind and write them right .
For thus—in “eccentricity,”
On*; sees good many c’s,
Also, in “ htibbubbuberous,”
The b's are thick as bees.
There are no i's in English “eyes,”
But e’s there are in “ease,”
A does want ye to make it “ aye,”
There’s hut one/> in pease.
Somvjudges judge the English tongue,
But kill it with a breath ;
With wind and words they sentence some
Fine sentences to death.
•
A sea-horse is a sea-horse when
You see him in the sea ;
But when you see him in a bay,
A bay horse then is he ;
Os course, a race course isn’t coarse,
A fine is far from fine ;
It is a saddening sight to see
A noble pine tree jane.
If miners are all minors, then,
Their guardians get their gains;
All glaziers extra jiuins should take
To put in extra panes;
A kitchen maid is often made
To hill'll her face, and broil it ;
A lady knows no labor but
To toil it at her toilet.
“ How do you do ?” said John to Sal ;
“Sometimes sew, sew,” .said she.
If one were ridden o’er a lot,
He might his lot bewail.
But ’twould lie of no use to him
To rail against the rail.

To hit the bat a bat.

Because it wants a mind ;

By every idle wind.

Ludicrous Story. —One of the popular le
gends of the Welch marches is that otfhbr
gan .Tones and the Devil. Morgan teHmis
own story in his own way :
“ Well, then,” says he, “ you must know
i that l had not seen his honor fora longtime,
and it was about two months from this that
l went one evening along the brook shoot
ing wild fowl, and as I was going whistling
along whom should l spy coming up but the
Devil himself ( But you must know he was
dressed mighty fine, like any grand gentle
man, though I kuew the old one well by the
S<D W IO mIB H ULBiLIL
hit of his tail which hung out at the bottom
of bis trowsers. Well, he came up, and says
he, ‘Morgan, how are yel’ and says I,
touching my hat, ‘ pretty well, your honor,
I thank ye.’ And then says he, ‘ Morgan,
what are ye looking a’ter, and what’s that
long thing ye’re carrying with ye V And
says I, ‘ Tin only walking out by the brook
this fine evening, and carrying my baccy-pipe
with me to smoke.’ Well, you all know
the old fellow is mighty fond of the baccy ;
so says he, • Morgan, let’s have a smoke, and
I’ll thank ye.’ And says I, * you’re mighty
welcome.’ So 1 gave him the gun, and he
put the muzzle in his mouth to smoke, ntid
thinks I, • I have you now, old hoy,’ ’cause
you see I wanted to quarrel with him ; so I
pulled the trigger, and off went the gun
bang in his mouth. ‘Puff'!” says he, when
he pulled it out of his mouth and he stopped
a minute to think about it, and says he—
‘Curs’d strong baccy, Morgan !’ Then he
gave me the gun, and looked huffed, and
walked off, and sure enough I’ve never seen
him since. And that’s the way I got shut
of the oh! gentleman, my boys!”
Such is the ludicrous story of Morgan
Jones, who had to do with a proper Welsh
devil, without doubt.
CC/ 3 The Thimble-Riggers, as they are to
lie seen in the boothesof the English Race
Course, are thus happily Lit off in a late
London paper.
“ Gentlemen and noble sportmen,” says
the professor of the game, a very •pleasant
looking man, in a shooting coat and freckles,
“ the cnndisliuns of this curious game is ea
sy to be taught and to be learnt. If you
have’ a quick eye to trace my movements,
which is all the chance I have, and diskiver
which thimble the little pea is under, you
wins; otherwise you loses, quite different
and permiskus.”
“ Now, here’s little Jack, the dodger, in
his round house, that never pays no taxes.
Here he goes again—vun, two, three, and
never say die ; right round the corner—out
of that vun, tip the middle, down again, and
slop into this van. Here’s the thimble as
loses, and that ’tin’s the vinner, and who says
done for a ftp-pun note. Come, farmer, say
the five.” The farmer puts his hands into
his pocket, inspects the thimbles, the money
is laid on the table, and a bystander (Mr.
Joseph Muff) looked on in breathless excite
menr. The right thimble is lifted—the
farmer pockets the money.
“ Well, gentlemen,” continued the man,
“I nevergtumbles at losing, but I’d rather
win. Them as don’t see don’t tell, and
them as do, hold their tongues, for luck’s
the real sportsman. Here goes agin—vun,
two. three—it’s my place to hide and yotir’s
to find ; out of this vun, and who’s afraid 1
different people has different opinions, but
it’s not unkivered now for any sum you like
—who says a flimsy I” “ 1 think it’s under
the one neatest to us,” observed a young
man of fashion who wore his dexter eye
turned up with black, and was moreover
adorned by a blue satin stock, brown cut
away coat, white buckskin trousers, and pa
tent. leather boots. “ It’s under this.”—
“ No, I think it’s under the middle one,” re
marks Joseph, in reply. “ I’ll go you two,”
says the gentleman to the player. “ Say the
five, sir,” replied the man. “ No, two,” re
peats Cutaway, putting down the money.
“ Pull away, sir,” answers the player; lifts
the nearest thimble and loses. “ Well, 1
shouldn't have thought it,” exclaimed the
gentleman to Muff', “ what a wonderful quick
eye you have.” “ Now, then, for another
turn,” says the table-man; “if you’ve no
money you can’t play, but if you have you
may win a fortune. Here be is, and there
lie is, and now he’s every where. Vun,
two, three—out of this vun slick into the
other. Now, you boys, keep back—l only
plays with gentlemen.” As the thimble
man turned to disperse the .crowd behind
him, the Conservative Cutaway lifts the
thimble, and showed the pea to the specta
tors, covering it rapidly again as the player
resumes his occupation. “ It’s not found
out now for a ten pun’ note,” said he. “It’s
been seen,” exclaimed the honest farmer.
“ I know that,” said the man, “ I always
shows it to the company; who’s game to
bet.” “ Take him, sir,” whispers Cutaway
to Muff, “you’re sure to win and I’ll go
your halves.” Muff is in an agony of des
peration. but he won’t venture to bet ten
pounds; he therefore wagers five. “I’ll
move them round once more, sir, if you
like,” says the player, touching the thim
ble. “ No, no,” criesthe Cutaway, “ I know
vour chesty ways, let the gentleman choose
for himself.” With nervous haste Muff lifts
up the thimble under which the “little pea”
had been seen. It was gone !
“ Bless me,” said the Cutaway, “ what a
mistake ! Look here, sir, this is the thimble
you ought to have lifted—you chose the
wrong one.” If Muff - remonstrates, he is
told “ He didn’t ought to play if he couldn’t
abear to lose.” He is advised totry his luck
agin. He refuses. The next moment his
hat is knocked over his eyes, and a visitation
of polished leather is made to Muff’s white
ducks, even at the spot where honor’s
placed.
An apt reply. —Sheridan once succeeded
admirably in entrapping a noisy member,
who was in the habit of interrupting every
speaker with cries of “Hear,hear.” Rich
ard Brinsley took an opportunity to allude
to a well-known political character of the
time, who wished to play the rogue, but had
only setiseenough to play the find. “ Where,”
exclaimed Sheridan, in continuation, and
with great emphasis— "where shall we find
a more foolish knave ora more knavish fool
than this ?” “ Hear I hear !” was instantly
bellowed from the accustomed bench. The
wicked wit bowed, thanked the gentleman
for his ready reply to the question, and sat
down amid convulsions of laughter from all
but the unfortunate subject.
Anecdote of Burns. — Burns being to dine
one day at St. Margaret’s Hill, the minis
ter’s man, honest John Brooks, who held
the plough, waited at table, &c., was told
by bis master that he would have to attend
to the duties on that day. “ Na, sir, I’ll no
do that.*’ “ Why not, John 1” “ Because,”
said lie, “ I ken weed eneugh that Maister
Burns is to be there, uud he’ll be fur mukin’
a poem o’ me.”
TIMP [I U Nl ©E
The Spirit of ’76.—A veteran of the rev
olution, in Berkshire county, Massachusetts,
whose character had long been without re
proach, was visited soon after the formation
of.a Temperance Society in his town, and
respectfully invited to cooperate with them
in their work. He replied, very kindly, “1
beg you will excuse me, gentlemen. 1 hon
or your motives, and approve your proceed
ings, and hope you will have great success.
But old people don’t change easily. 1 learn
ed to drink when I was in the army, and
have always been in the habit of taking a
little with moderation, as yon know, gentle
men ; and now, in my old age, it seems like
a necessary comfort, and I can hardly think
of giving it up. I hope you will succeed,
and that the next generation will be wiser
than their fathers; but really, gentlemen, I
think the old soldier must bg excused.”
The committee withdrew, perhaps not a
little sorry to fail in obtaining the name f
so worthy a man, but with no dimunition of
their respect or affection for one whom they
all venerated as a father.
A few months afterwards, they visited the
old man again, and said : “ We come to see
you again, sir, for we find ourselves in a dif
ficulty. We go to our neighbors who drink,
and are in danger of drinking too mflcli, and
endeavor to persuade them to give it up.—
But they all say, “Judge drinks,and
why should not we drink V’ The spirit of
’76 was touched. “Give me the paper, gen
tlemen,” said the patriot; “it shall never
he said that an old seventy-sixer was found
to stand in the way of a measure so neces
sary for his country as the temperance re
formation. I have conquered the British,
and I can give up drinking. If my name or
example can do any good, they are at your
service.”
