One rose whose fragrant blossom Blooms for thee alone ? One fond, confiding bosom. Whete thoughts are all thine own? One gen le star to gu'de thee, And bless thee on thy way, That e’er when storms betide thee, Will lend its gemle ray ? One crystal fountain springing Within life’s dreary waste, Whose waters still are bringing Refreshment to thy taste ? One tuneful voice to cheer thee. When sorrow ha« distressed, One breast when thon art weary Wbeteon tby head to rest? Till thst sweet rose has faded. And cold that heart so warm, Till cloada thy star have shaded, Heed not the paasing storm. i Till thst kind voice that blessed thee, Ail mute in death doth lie, And tbe fount that oft refreshed thee To thee is ever dry. Tbon hast no tie to bind thee To this dark world of care ; Then let no sorrow bind thee— Yield not to dark despair. For the Dawson Journal. Random Thought*of an Hour. The last word of our title suggests many thoughts. How im-ignificent an hour, when compared wiih the vast immensity of time; yet who can tell the weight ci its influence upon the world ? what has been done or undone in this narrow space of time As we follow the ascent of our great est and best men, noting the fact that their origin was bumble and obscure, or perhaps what the woill o Idly terms dsreputable. They felt the power within them; and the result of an hours's deliberation, is a determina tion to evince that power— not for sel fish interests; but lor the glory of him who pave it. We see its results ex panding as the youth bravely meets poverty, want, or w hat is harder sti l to meet cheerfully, the bitter contempt of tiis fellows. Yet nobly he presses onward, feeling within a consciousness of his worth and integrity—yea his su periority to those, whoso contemptible prejudice would retain iit» , until bis po ition is one which his man ly efforts justly merit. Then, man. cold and unfeeling as you were when ha needed jour sympathy aod friend ship, you now hug him to your besom as your dearest friend. Ilia noble heart has long since forgiven your ftu kindness; but does he trust you as a friend? Ah no! experience has but too well tought him that shou’d the tide of popular feeling be turned against him, your voice would swell the current. All are n-t thus ;he has friends who are worthy of tba name — honest and faithful they were, in his earlier struggles—true th'-y still are, and independently would they comfort and succor him in adversity. Independence thou rarest of virtues How truely noble the man who brave ly dares the displeasure of tbe sway ing multitude—independently and j openly obeying the generous impulses of his heart, sticks to hia friends, not! because the world applauds him for it; but because he is true and faithful — reputing tbe sentiment that •“Ft iendahlp to but a name, A chiirm that lull# to sleep,; A shadow that follows wealth and fame, And leaves the wretch to weep.” There is, in his estimation no neu tral position between right end wrong —hi espouses the former and oppos s the latter His life is a living exam ple of the Golden Rule. Wo like to contemplate such a character, and how it cheers, strengthens and eomforts us to come in contact with such. Would their number cou'd be multiplied ; if so, what a change in the moral aspect of our country—the rapid strides of the demon of intemperance would be cut short; and vice of all forms receive a check. In the nrdkt of our political difficul liea it is truly sppaUng to note the ef fect of vice upon the youth of our laud. They frequent those dens of the lower regions, where the poison that ruins bo h soul and body is dea't out by tbe commissioned agents of the evil one himself. Many before they can scarce ly be termed youths have been beast ly drunk Mothers, we appeal to you ; make ' home hapj y, let its attractions be such j that they will lure your sons ba.ik.— j Mothers, wives, sisters, ail unite in this noble effort; let not our people be j branded ss a “nation of drunkards.” | Again we say make home happy, let, tbe father, husband, son, and brother j know that you feel his absence—that your greatest pleasure is to make him forget the bufferings be has met in his daily toils, and repay those toils with a deep and feeder affection—never let the sunshine of affection become dim to tne family c : rcle ; but let its bright and invigorating influence be always felt and seen. An hour has passed, other things demand our attention. Mothers thinx of our closing thoughts; there is truth in them. A happy home is tbe beet earthly eecurity against vice. My Experience nt n Nmv Eng land Mewing Circle. TLe Christian lidtes of th's C ngreea tion are invited to meet Thursday evening »t the revid nee of Mrs. Sniv cllor, to form a Sewiug Soctetv A full attendance is required. Such, tny dear hearers, read a notice, I found "n my desk this morning, and I read it in hopes you will profit there by. Says I “Bully,” not in a bully spirit, but in a sot of puritanicle meanior, and concluded to eo. Mrs Sniveller— Mrs. Deacon Suiveller lived in a large white bouse, iu a stone patch, under a bill, down by hrr husband’s button up. Mrs. Suiveller was a leading horse so called, in the team of benevo olence at Bultonville. She had a little peaked, red ncso, about right to open clam ! with, a Dcrvous j rk to her head, spiral entieers, and » waterfall tbe size ofa plumb pudt’.i g, but filled with more ingredients. D aeon Sniv ■ Her passed the plato Sabbaths, and took the fuuds hegne to count. M'». Sniveller generally ettve with great lib erality on the next S ibbath. I wanted to go. I borrowed hoop?, skirts, waterfalls, etc., I puffed my front hair, slung my waterfall on tuy bump cf obstinacy, bo's’ed an onion in the reticule I carried on my left arm, shouldered a green cotton U'nbrelh, took a piece of rcu fhncel to make a shirt for some little innocent bud on the tree of Abolitionism, and sallied forth jurt as tbe yankee clock struck tw\ \ Mrs. Sniveller was in. The front parlor, and the midd'e parlc r was full of noblewomen while tho beet bed room was full of bonnet*, green umbrel las, and reticules in which to eariy bome sweet-cake, tar.'a, buiscuits, plum pics, apple cores and such little things a’yly slipped from Mrs Snivel ler’s table. Mrs. Sniveller did'nt, know me I told her I was little Sallie Sqniggle, as what hid Jived there ten years before, and been South teaching sku'e. ‘ L'rdy massy, so it is 1 Why how natural you do look 1 Bless me! Let me kiss my dear Sally who has es caped from tho wretches 1” And an gellic Mrs. Sniveller cumc near putting —v. -■ 0“ • «te hors du oombat with the end of her u so 1 I was iutroduced. Nineteen women were glad to see me and kissed their dear S lfie. till my waterfall got skew ed clear round under my left ear and I began to feel a rising sensation in my throat from the hugging then and there given, or words to that effect. After ihe Society was organized, I was kept so bury answering questions, that I came near not finishing tbe baby envelope that I was working on, and should not, had I not taken long s'icbcs at p ople do >n ben-vole t tewing. Mrs Si iveller said : “Now Sally, aint that rre Southern people the hntefullest proud people the world ever did see ? Cousin John who wtnt down as a sut'ler, brought noma two trunks of tbe silks, laces, jewelry that was real gold, and set with purty stones that was real diamonds and worth a power of money. He found ih<m in bureaus, trunks, clrset?, and sich places Thesneskiug, eownrd-meo had gone off to kill our good people, and tho women were at work in hoepi tals, and all John had to do, was to whip a lot of little children and help himself. I knew them are folk? are a wicked mean ungrateful set, and ought to be killed ” Mrs. Puritan want and to know if it was true that the people in the South actually cooked Hei dinners on Sun day, if they did she really hoped that hereou'in in Cmgress would issue a law, that when any man in the South cocked a biled dinner on Su dry, he should be hung before dmnDer, and bis biled dinner be 6ent North. Mrs. Pinchbeck hoped the war would continneron, till there was no more end of nothin Fur her part it was all staff shoot the people suffering during the war. Her Jnsiah had a contract and made two hundred thousand dollars the Arete year rs the war. and when her ■ brother, Reverend Pcaknose Rmter 'came home from tbe war where be had I periled his precious life eating preserves Iso they would not hurt sick soldiers, I and be brought borne more than fifty gold watches, and agoldelasp Bible and is now used every Sunday in one ; of the Buttonville Churches. Mrs. Squeak said the people of the South were nothing but murderers, for when her brother, C lonol Fibre Hun ter was on the field doin’ nothin’ but seein’ how much ct ttoo an army team cculddraw, so he could tell if it was a good team, some cowardly gorilla shot a hole clean through him, and wou’d’ot even send bis cloth< s home for her Jede diah to wear out, and she hoped that if another war ever did come, aome of those sinful men out West, would go down and do it to ’em agin, not that she cared so much for her brother, but she wanted them are clothes for Jedediab. Mrs. Cockeye said she hoped there would be a whole pausel of wars, fer her cousin, dear Benjamin (the Beast,) had made lots of money during tbe late war, and had supplied nearly all of her rela tives with spoons, watches, silverware etc., and said that it was right the war should go on, for her cousin was safer in the war, than before a Court of Jua* 1 tiee even, and mid it was a ohristian du- ty to ieta'l obii dan wars be oontuiued so long a» there was anybody to ooutin ner ’em. M s Sniveller here rpake again: ‘‘Weill don’t can no how. The South should he lought! What ri, b had they to have <0 fn picket by nig gers without a-king our oor.s ut '/ Aod they wtro rich.

Never think of tbo satu-fac-tiro of seeing others hap py. but rather, if you fee a smiling face, be jealous, lest another shou’d enjoy what you have not.

Poisons.— A plaiu farmer says; “It ii now over twenty years since I horned that sweet cit w >uld cure the hi e of a rattle snake, not knowing that it would cur’ other kinds of poison. Practice, observation and experience, have taught me that it will ci real kinds of poison, both en man mid b ast. 1 think no farmer should be without a bottle t.f it in Li* h u«e. The patient must take a spoon ful of it internally, and bathe the wound for a cure To cur ■ a horse, it requires eight timisas much as it docs lor a man. Here let mo say of one of the most ex treme cases of snake bites in this neighborhood.

It will cure bloat in caitle by eating too freely of fresh clover, it will oure the stings of bees, spiders or other insects, and will cure persons who have been poisoned by low running viac growing in tho meadows called ivy. G. neral D. H. Mill, in a lute num ber of Th* Lund We Love, says: We had t*«o prrticukir friends in the old United Ktates army ; the one born North of the Fuequeliannah, the other Sou'll of it Both adhered to the United States Govtrnment. The Northern man took the fie’d aid fought us obstinately ; the Southeiu man kept out of harm’s way, but se cured a paying position as teacher.— After tha war he wrote the latter a brief business letter, which he refused to answer. The former learning that he had fallen into the hands of tha “Blessed Bureau ” and other benevo lent institutions, sent us a kind invita tion to bring the wife and little rebs to spend the summer months with him. It is easy in this case to answer ti e question, “which now of these two thinkrst thou is neighbor unto him which fell among thieves ?” A young lady, accompanied by a lady friend, called into oue of the stores in Hartford recently, and after they had gone, the clerk found the calves i of her hmbs on the floor, the lady hav ing evidently lost them off unknowing- j jy This is one of the most painless cases of ampututiou wo have ever heard of. Which is at once the easiest and hardest of occupations ? The musi cian’s ; for he p'ays. Every d< tiukard must choose between the two alterna tives—sobriety, or u premature grave.

I heard nf a g’od man once who said, “Inever Hid anything that 1 was aib m ed to tell my mother.” It ia a great thing to be able to say that, and I am afraid there arc very few boys now-a-days who can say it.

Tw.i TnungVnrpontere, named respret ively Robert Brown and Thomas J n«s were very foni of dropping in Mr. Smith’s parlor, and spending an hour or two with his only daughter, Mary. One eveuiug, when Brown and Mary had discussed almost every topic, Brown suddenly, in bis sweetest tones, struck out aa follows : “Do you think Mary, you could leave father and mother, this pleasant borne, and all its ease and comfur's, and em igrate to tho fir West with a young carpenter, who has hut little besides his strong hands to deprnl upon, and with tiru search out anew home, which it should be your joint duty to beautify, and make delightful and happy like tbb?
