A bright-eyed boy set out one day— “My boat,” said he, “too long reposes; The morn of life is genial May, i But June brings forth its fairest roses ; To yonder shore I long to flee; My boat and I are light and free.” Upon tlic tide he speeds away ; Laughs at the thought of age and sorrow— Feels that for him this sunny day Will melt into as bright a morrow ; Could these fond hopes but live and last— But ah ! the little boat moves fast. The blossoms from the earth’s green breast To life and light are sweetly springing, Around the summer’s sheeny crest The birds of song are blithely singing ; While joys his silly heart beguile, The little boat speeds many a mile. Our pleasures are not made to last, The brightest links are often parted ; The boy looks round into the past To see the place from which he started ; But not a thing his childhood knew The little boat has left in view. He looks above, the beaming sun Is moving in his noontide glory, And all the trophies he has won Are wrapped in life’s ideal story ; The stream of time is rough and high, The little boat moves swiftly by. And now he tastes the cup of care, But though the waves are dashing fleetly, The flowers still bloom, but not as fair ; The birds still sing, but not as sweetly ; The treasures that he seeks to find The little boat oft leaves behind. He seeks at last a land of rest, Dreams of a home among liis fathers ; The sun is sinking in the west, The mist of eve around him gathers ; His palsied arm resigns the oar, The little boat obeys no more. So speeds away the tide of time ; raiewell, old n> Bowed uown He goes unto a mystic clime, And he will reach it on the morrow ; In darkness now the boat and guide Are lost upon a boundless tide.

The Vaine ol God iu Forty eight Languages. As Louis Burger, the well known author and philologist, was wa king in the Avenue des Champs Elysees one day, he heard a familiar voice exclaim ing: <l Buy some nuts of a poor man, sir; twenty for a penny!” He looked up, and recognized his old barber. “ What! are you selling nuts ?” said he. “ Ah, sir, I have been unfortunate.” “ But this is no business for a man like you.” “ Oh, sir, if you could only tell me of something better to do,” returned the barber with a sigh. Burger was touched. He reflected a moment; then tearing a leaf from his memorandum-book, he wrote for a few moments and handed it to thf titan say ing, “ Take this to a printing office and have a hundred copies struck off; here is the money to pay for it. Get a li cense from the Prefecture df Police, and sell them at two cents a copy, and you will have bread on the The strangers who visit Paris cannot refuse this tribute to the name of God printed in so many different ways.” The barber did as he was bid, and was always seen at the entrance to the Exposition, selling the following band bill : THE NAME OF GOD IN FORTY - EIGHT LANGUAGES: Hebrew—Elohim, Eloali.

Madagascar— /annar. Peruvian —Pucliocamuiae. A few days after Burger met the barber. “ Well,” said he, “ lias the holy name of God brought you good luck ?” “ Yes, indeed, sir. I sell on an average a hundred copies a day at two cents each, or two dollars; but the strangers are generous ; some give me ten cents and others twenty. I have even received half a dollar for a copy, so that, all told, I am making five dol lars a day.” “ Five dollars a day V “Yes, sir, thanks to your kindness.” “ Ah!” thought Burger, as he walked away, “if I were not a literary tjian I would turn peddler or publisher; there is nothing so profitable as seiiing the learning or wit of others !” qf —No enjoy ment, however incon siderable, is confined to the present moment. A man is the happier for life from having made once an agreeable tour, or lived for any length of time with pleasant peo ple, or enjoyed any considerable interval of innocent pleasure.— [Sydney Smith. —Women charm, as a general thing, in proportion as they are good. A plain face with a heart behind it is worth a world of heart less beauty. Men who have tried both uniformly agree to this, Don Piatt on Funerals. I consider our funerals a remnant of barbarism that ought to go out with the twin relics. When one dies, and the little household is stricken with grief, there comes the hour that makes privacy a necessity. We instinctively shrink from the gaze of the world.— That moment is seized upon for the undertaker to introduce, under the name of friends of the deceased, all the neighborhood. The remains of one once so dear to the grief striken family receive an ovation from heartless curi osity and hypocritical ceremony, and while one hack, as I have said, will generally carry out all the grief that really follows the body to the grave, a loog string of carriages, hired at an enormous expense, are filled with peo pie who care little for the departed when alive, and less now that he or she is dead. They go to the grave talking politics in a subdued tone, and return hilarious, from the reaction that follow.- self restraint. It is but a beastly busi ness and ought to be done away with at an early day. The cost attending these funerals is of itself sufficient reason for their be ing abolished. Many a poor family is actually left without bread in this ab surd attempt to make a brief show of respect to the dead. No one is bene filed but the undertaker, and the profii accruing to him front this hollow, ub surd ceremony, gives us reasons t< terminate it at once. Heavy specula tions at any time are disagreeable ; but when the speculator sits on the coffin and preys on the dead, we ought to bt horrified. The young bride, as I have said, was actually buried in the dress she wore when married —veil, orange blossoms, white satin, and all. The corpse made, under the circumstances, a ghastlj It.n. inn a pleasant thing to I, u~T w ’W . lTirv*- 'nrttz-n 43—,- ter had this show beeu dispensed with., I would have liked it better if thi whole crowd had been turned from the door, and no one left to the burial ser vice but those who with tearful eye alone were fit for it. But then, thesi are ultra notions, and shocking to the apDroved tastes of the company. Hired hacks, with dirty drivers, will form long processions, carrying people who cared nothing for the deceased, and ending only in profits for the undertaker. When a stupidity of this sort gets hold of the beloved people, it is astonishing with what tenacity it clings and lives. I never met with a man or woman who, when reasoned with, did not concur with me in this condemnation of funeral ceremonies ; and yet, each in turn has tens to assist, or get up, something of this sort.

Gabe Min* shall presided with accustomed dignity He announced the object of the as*, semblage to be the consideration of the case of a member who had indulged in the expression— ‘ That’s the sort of bonanza I am.” The offense was unanimously re garded as enormous,and it was thought the punishment should be severe. “ It’s a bully good opportunity to make an apalling example,” said oDe. “ A gallus chance,” said another. “ We certainly ought to bounce him one,” exclaimed a third. “Any gentleman that is guilty of such a remark should catch fits,” ejacu lated a fourth, “ lie should have a roof put on him,” interpolated a fifth. “Yes, a regular mansard,” thun dered a sixth. “Give us a rest,” interrupted the president. “ It’s my put in, I think We can’t knock the spots out of this slang habit by talk, but must appeal to the pocket to do it.

The following strange, eventful record of a journeyman printer’s life is taken from a journal, which paper asserts it correct to the let ter. Itdevelopes what a man can do if he likes, and what queer, en terprising, and unselfish fellows the majority of printers are: “The life of a printer is, to say the least, one of variety. I left home at the age of nine, and was apprenticed to the printing busi ness at thirteen ; since then I have visited Europe, been in England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Fnnce, in Canada, Nova Scotia, Labrador, South America, West Indies, and all the Atlantic States of the Union, from iVlaine to Louis iana—have lived in twenty-seven cities and towns of the United States. I have been a sailor in the merchant service, and have sailed in all manner of craft—ship, barque, brig, schooner, sloop and steamer—in the regular army as a private soldier, deserted and got shot in the leg. I have studied two years for the ministry, one year for an M. P., traveled thiV all the New England States, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia, as a journeyman printer, generally with little else than a brass rule in my pocket. I have been the publisher of three papers—two in Massachusetts and one in Maine. At one time I had $7,550 in my pocket of my own, I have been married twice, • nd aui near twenty-six years old!

Track.) lo p,„ fhg numerous acci- ( dents to which railroad iran.,„ „ re liable from one car jumping the track, it is proposed to apply to cars a kind of shoe, consisting of a clamp-like arrangement which is affixed between the wheels of each truck. This runs about two inches above the rail, and if anything hap pens to throw the wheels from the track the clamp at once grasps the rails, holsd the car on the track and brings the train to a speedy halt. Such a shoe will, it is claim ed, prove a great saving of railroad rolling stock, and will add one third to the strength of the truck, it being constructed of iron and weighing five hundred pounds. It is found by experiments made with cars provided w’ith this device that the arrangement insures perfect se curity against the class of accidents it is designed to meet; and it is al so estimated that, on account of the additional strength which such an attachment must necessarily supply, a car must last twice as long, on an average, with as with out it.—[N.
