A rare old fellow seldom seen
Within the than her of the great,
Who liketh best a moJest mien,
Preferring dfclf to silver plate ,
Old chum of mine, we break onr fast
Together in the morning light,
And when the busy dayjis past.
Meet by hearth again at right
The roof that shelters his grey head,
I’m sure is ever hallowed.
He often wanders in disguise ;
Yon cripple *H weary and bent,
Clad in a tattered suit of frieze
You’d hardly think our friond coi tunt i
Or that rough man who halts to pat
The little bare foot sweeper’s head,
And leaves a coin iuside his hat,
That robs him o! a slice of bread :
The sailor, he whose homey palms
Just flung the ebiverirg beggar alms.
The honest sparkle in his eyes,
The heart of gold.that throbs within
He cannot cover with disguise
Whatever garb be clothes him in
I've seen bin when the sky was black,
And by-ways splashed with falling rain,
B ending beneath a tinkers pack
Trolling a cheery old refrain ;
For wealth is good, and ancient wine—
But a merry heart makes ibe spirit shine
HOW THIiI’VII TAXIIU I S.
If the following has appeared before.it
will bear repititicn. Are not the taxes re
peated ad injinkvm 1
•They are taxed on their clothing, their
meat and their bread.
Oa their earpets, their dishes their tables
and bed,
On their tea aud their coffee their fuel
and Jijjbis ;
They are raxea so severely they can t
sleep o’ nighis.
They are taxed on Iheii offices, sloresaud
their shops,
On their store, on their wash tubs, their
brooms and their mops,.
On their shiouds. on ibvir tombstones
and after they die
They are tax.d on the coffins In which
they mutt lie,.
They are stamped on their mortgages,
n otes,‘checks and bills,
On their deeds, on their contracts, and on
their last wills •
And the Siai Spangled Banner in mourn
ing doth wave,
O’er the wealth of lire nation stamped in
to the grave,
They are taxed on all goods by kind
Providence given,
They are taxed on the Bible that points
them to Heaven ;
And when Ihry asecud to tbsir heavenly
goal. They would, if they could, Slick
St'mps on their Souls.’
“Hone, sweet n«mi:.”
Night dropped hsr shadowy vail over
London, and the mantle of mists that all
day loag had enveloped the city, grew more
ilen-c and fell in beaded drops of rain, j
The gas lights burned brightly at the cor- ,
ners. but it was a dreary night to be out
in. Yet crowds filled the street?, for even
in niglt sterms, the great thoroughfares
are never deserted. Guilt and wretched,
ntss are always wakeful and abroad. To
realize the desolation of loneliness, one
must be a stranger in a crowded city, with
a sensitive Datura, and a refinement that
shr nks from rude contracts, and uncongee
nial companionship.
Alone in (he country,.with the blue sky
above us, and the green grass bent nth our
feet, there are charms that woo us to for
gctfnlnes*. There is music in the running |
stream and beauty in the flowers that grow j
upon its banks. Some German wiiter, I !
have forgotten who, calls flowers the stars
of eav'h and stars the flo versos heaven. — ]
Fair and radi.nl flowers they ore and shed J
their brigh ness on the ,smoke-w rtatbed j
city, but in their matchless, softened and
mellowed light seem to linger more plea
santly on green fields and waving corn.
Alone in London / Dreary and desolate
reality, that swelled almost to bursting a
weary and aching heart. The stranger
gathered bis thin cloak around his shiver_
ing foitn, and drew liis bat oTer bis face,
with a sensitive shrinking from Hie crowd
that rudely jos.tled past him. 'He was alone ■'
in London, and very poor, not even a shill
ing to procure s f-anty supper.
Somewb .re in a dark part of the citv,
where tu* gaslights were few, np many]
;.dir of stairs, was Ihe garret in which he J
slept, but in it ther was nothing save the ;
darkness, one bioken (hair aud u wretched j
bed with its scanty covering.
When be (ntend this disoiate chamber j
in nights like this, on unseen company sur- j
rounded him, the spirits of the viewless j
a’r, and in the wailings of the wind, they ,
told him stnnge mysterious tales of,
wretchedness and dread, until, half wild j
with dnik imaginings, he rushed torth in i
the night and the pelting storm. Thus |
through the chilling elect and raiu he walk- 1
ed the streets, looking into the hard faces
of the passers by and wondering if in al'
London there was auoLhvr man who had no
one to care lor him, no one to love him.--
And then lie thought Lew deliciously!
strange it wnnld sum to him—a stranger
and a w and • rer for many years—to be be
loved.
lie hoped the blessed light would dawn
upon him, but in the daikness of this night
iit seemed a great way off The cloud ol
poverty and gloom that w rapped his heart
; was too cold and deep, he feared, ior hu«
j man sympathy and love to penetrate. Lie
' Beerncd to see before him, Fate, with wield

Lauds with feverish intensity, he v.endured
if at some futuro day, that a mantle of
biightness might fall upon Mm instead of a j
pall. A strain of sweet sad music broke in
upon his lonely musicgß. Over all refined
natures music has an absorbing power, and
though it olten tillß the soul with sadness,
it casts upon it the spell ol an irresistible
fascinnlion, aid the stranger panstd in bi»
| desolate walk to listen to the song. The
windows of the princely mansion were but
hall vailed, and he could see the happy
group that surrounded the piano, and the
lair girl that sang lire eoUminor air which
sank into the listener's heart.
lie was a poet, and had written songs of
tenderness arid love for others to sing.—
Himself be could not sing with such » weight
upon bis l.iart. The light of genius was in
his eye, aud the imagery of a fervid imagi
nation gathered round his brain, and the
poet’s nalive impulse, loving, warm and
true, liv.d w ithin Lis heart.
In the scasilive aud gilled the longing
for sympathy and love is far more intense

terislic Incident.
In the Religious Herald for Ibis week w e
find the following interesting iucidtat in
the life of Gen . T. J. Jackson, which give?
ns an insight into some of the thcaghts that
occupied his mind the day after the great
battle in which be won fb« immortal soobri
quet cf -’Stonewall A few days after the
first bat tic of Manassas au eager, anxious
crowd was assembled at the post office in
Lexington, Va., on the arrival of teh mail. —
The greatest excitement prevailed, aud
things ‘-from the front” were eagerly sought
after. Ihe venerable Dr. White (Faster of
the Presbyterian Church l look a letter from
the Post Office, and recognizing it as in the
handwriting of Brigadier G-eseral [after
wards “Stonewall”] Jackson, he *aid to the
crowd, “Here a letter from Gan. Jackson —
now we will have full authentic particulars
of the battle.” Th« crowd cargeriy asked
him to read aloud, and pressed round to
hear the expected stirring news from the
field of conflict. Ho broke the seal, and to
*he great di appointment of all, found ouiy
; these few lines :
‘ iManassaß Junction. July 22, 18J1
“My Doar Pastor : 1 remember that my
subscription to Domestic Missions is about
due. Please find enclosed S3O. Fours
very truly, T. J. JACKSON’’
No word about the groat battle is which
bo had played so couspieons a parts-uo time
lor inclination to tell of those heroic deeds
' wihich rcorUrtd famous, forever. “Stone
-1 wall Jackson and th* y-toocwiall Brigade”—
| but he could afford the time to send »to his
i pastor money w bicb be had promised to the
j treasury of the Lord. The example of this
j great aud good man leaches a lesson which
j many will do well to heed.

The following mode of judging
weather by the sky, is taken from
Thomson’s Coast Pilot :
The color of the skv at particu
lar times, affords wonderful good
guidance. Not only sunset presa
ges fair weather, but there are oth
er times which speak with equal
clearness and accuracy. A bright
yellow sky in the evening indi
cates wind, a pale yellow, wet, a
natural gray color constitutes a
favorable sign in the evening, and
an u favorable one in the morning.
They are full o f meaning in them
selves. If their forms are soft,
underlined, aud feathery*, the
weather will be fine, if their edges
are hard, sharp, and definite- It
will he foul. Generally speaking,
any deep, unusual hues betoken
wind and rain, while the more
quiet and delicate tints bespeak
lfine weather. Simple as these
maxims are. the British Hoard -of
Trade has thought fit to publish
them for the use of seafaring men.

that Congress will attempt to sus
