From the N. H. Patriot.
THE FLAG OF OUR UNION.
BY MRS. MARY M GLOVER.
• Ne’er waved bentath the golden sun
A loilter banner for the brave.
Than that our bleeding fathers won
And proudly to their children gave;
Nor earth a fairer gem can bring.
Or freedom claim a scroll mote rare
Than that In which our free hearts cling.
When • Pierce and Ki g" floats in the air.
Its glorious stars in azure shine.
The radiant heraldry nf heaven;
Its stipes in beauteous order twine.
The emblems of nnr union given,
And tyrants wilh a trembling gaze
Survey its bright and meteor glare,
While giorv's heamsarniind.it blaze
And rest in fadeless splendor there.
Look freemen on its streaming folds.
As gallantly they range alar.
Where freedom's bird undaunted holds
The branch of peace asd spear of war;
While high amid the roHtng star*.
With words which every heart expand.
Within her beak serene she bears
The badge of our united land.
Behold thy star wrought ensign sweep,
Thy country's pride, the tyrant’s bane;
Unrivalled on the foaming deep,
Unconqnered on the battle plain;
Along III’ exultant mountain gale,
’Tis borne with wild tnsjeslic flow
As trailing meteor* sky ward sail.
And leave the dazzled world below!
Though France hath crushed Iter Bourbon flower
And seized the flag her valor sought,
She holds it as oppression’s dower—
\ name Is all the boon it brought;
Though Albion boasts her cross of blood,
Encrimsoned on athonsand plains,
Yet Freedom’s cause she hath withstood
And marked it with redtemiess stains.
But thine Columbia! thine’s the prize
To cheer the free and guide the brave,
To wave through Earth's remotest skies
And plant upon oppression’s grave:
Thine is the standard Freedom wrought
To rear above the lion’s form.
Whose flames their martyred fathers sought
To cheer them through the battle storm.
Flag of the free! still bear thy way,
Undimmed through ages yet untold;
O’er earth’s proud realms thy stars display,
Like morning’s radiant clouds unro led;
M av Pierce and King still pearless shine
Where every breeze our flag unrolls,
And every band and heart en'wine
To crown the hope of patriot souls.

THE MAGIC FIDDLER;
on, THE GIPSY IN THE THORN BUSH.
FROM THE GEHMAIf.
A rich man once hired a hoy, who serv-
him honestly and industriously ; he was the
first to rise in the morning-, the last to go to
hed at night, and never hesitated to per-
form the disagreeable duties which fell to
the shate of others, but which they refused
to do. His looks were always cheerful and
contented, and be never was heard to mur
mur. When he had served a year, his mas
ter thought to himself, “If I pay his wages
lie may go away , it will therefore be most
prudent not to do so; I shall thereby save
something, and lie will stay.” And so the
boy'worked another year, and, though no
wages came, he said nothing, and looked
happy. At last the t rid of the third year
arrived; the master fell his pockets, but took
nothing nut; then the boy sp^ke :
“Master,” said he, “1 have served you
honestly for three years, and give me, I
pray you what 1 have justly earned. I wish
to leave you, and see more of the world.”
“My dear fellow,” ciied the niggard,
“you have indeed served me faithful, and
you shall he generously rewarded.”
So saying, he searched his pockets again,
and this 4-ime he pulled out three crown
pieces.
“A crown,” said lie, “for each year; it is
liberal; few mas.ers would pay such wa-
ges.”
The boy, who knew very little about
money, was quite satisfied; he received the
scanty pay, and determined that his pock
ets were full, he would play. He set off
therefore to see the world; up-hill and down
hill, he ran and sang to his heart’s content;
but presently as he leaped a hush, a little
man suddenly appeared before him.”
“Whither away, Brother Merry V’ asked
the stranger, “your cares seem but a light
burden to you !”
“Why should I be sad 1” answered the
boy, “when l have three years’ wages in
my pocket.”
“And how much is that?” inquired the
little man.
“Three good crowns.”
“Lisleu to me,” said the dwarf; “I am a
poor, needy creature, unable to work, give
me the money; you are young and can earn
your bread.”
The boy’s heart was good, it felt pity for
the miserable little man; so he handed him
his hard-gotten wages.
“Take them,” said he, “I can work for
more.”
“You have a kind heart,” said the manni
kin, “L will reward you by granting you
three wishes—one for each crown. What
will you ask ?”
“Ha! ha!” langhed the boy, “you 8re
one of those then that can whistle blue!
Well, I will wish, first for a bird-gun,
which shMl hit whatever I aim al; secondly,
for a fiddle, to the sound of which every
one who hears me play on it must dance;
and thirdly, that when l ask any nno for
anything, he shall not dare to refuse me.”
“You shall have all,” cried the little man
as he took out of the hush, where there
seemed to have been placed in readiness, a
fine fiddle and bird-gun—“no man in the
world shall refuse what you ask !”
“My heart what can you desire?” said
hair and pricked and scratched his whole
bodv.
"Leave off, leave off, cried he, *T do not
wish to dance ?”
But he cried in vain. “You have flayed
many a man, 1 dare say,” answered the boy
“now we will see what the thorn-bush can
do fur you !”
And louder and faster s mded the fid
dle, and faster and higher danced the gipsy,
all the thorns were hung with the tatters of
his c-'at.
“Metcy, mercy!” he screamed at last;
“you shall have whatever I can give you, on
ly cease to play. Here, here, take this
purse of gold !”
“Since you are so ready to pay,” said
the h-iy, “I will cease my music; hut I must
say that you dance well to it—it is a treat
to see ymi.”
With this he took the purse and depar
ted.
The thievish-looking man watched him
until he was quite out of sight; then he
brawled insultingly after him :
“You miserable scraper! you ale-house
fiddler! wait till I find you alone. I will
chase you until you have not a sole to your
shoe; you ragamuffin ! stick a farthing in
yotir mouth, and say you are worth six
dollars !”
And thus he abused him as long as he
could find words. When he had sufficient
ly relieved himself, he ran to the judge of
the next town.
“Honorable judge,” cried he, I beg your
mercy; see how I have been ill-treated and
robbed on the open highway; a stone might
pity me; my clothes are torn, my body is
pricket! and scratched, and a purse of du
cats, each one brighter than the other one. I
entreat you good judge, let the man be
caught and sent to prison !”
“Was it a soldier,” asked the judge “who
has so wounded you with his sabre ?”
"No, indeed,” replied the gipsy, “it was
one who had no sabre, hut a gun hanging at
his back, and a fiddle from his neck, the ras
cal can he easily recogn-zed.”
The judge sent some people after the
boy; they soon overtook him, for he had gone
on very slowly; they searched him and
found in his pocket the purse ofgold. He
was brought to trial, and with a loud voice
declared :
“I did not heat the fellow, nor steal his
gold he gave it of his own free will, that I
might cease my music, which he did not
like.”
“He can lie as fast as I can catch flies off
the wall,” cried the accuser.
The judge said, “Yours is a had defense;
and he sentenced him to be hanged as a
high-way robber.
As they led him away to the gallows, the
gipsy brawled after him, triumphantly “you
worthless fellow ! you catgut-scraper ! now
you will receive your reward !”
The boy quietly ascended the ladder with
the hangmsn. but on tha last step he turned
and begged the judge to grant him one fa
vor before he died.
“I will grant it.” replied the judge, “on
condition that you do not ask for your
life.”
“I ask not for my life,” said the boy “but
to he permitted to play once more on my
beloved fiddle.
“Do not let him, do not let him,” scream
ed the ragged rogue.
"Why should I notallow him to enjoy
this one short pleasure ?” said the judge,
“I have granted it already; he shall have his
wish !”
"Tie me fast! bind me down ! cried the
gipsy.
The fiddle-player began, at the first
stroke every one became unsteady—judge,
clerks, and by-standers tottered—and the
rope fell from the hand of those who were
tying down the tatterdemalion, at the sec
ond, they al! raised one leg, and the hang
man let go his prisoner, and made ready
f>r the dance; at the third, al! sprang into
the air; the judge and the accuser were
foremest, and leaped the highest. Every
one danced, old and young fat and lean;
even the dogs got on their hind-legs, and
and hopped ! Faster and faster went the
fiddle, higher and higher jumped the dan
cers, until at last in their fury, they kicked
and screamed most dismally. Then the
judge gasped;
“Cease playing, and I will give you your
life!”
The fiddler stopped, descended the lad
der, and approached the wicked-looking
gipsy, who lay panting for breath.
“Rogue,” said he. “confess where you
got that purse of ducats, or I will play
in !”
HOW TO GROW RICH.
Hunt in his last number of his Magazine
says:—when man takes more plasure in ac
quiring money than expending it, he has-
taken the first step towards wealth. A
farmer will receive a few grains of an im
proved species of corn, which he will not
eat. hut will plant them, and replant the
product from yearto year, till his few grains
will become hundreds of bushels. Money
is increasable by analogous processes, and
success is within the power of any man
who shall attain to ordinary longevity. If
a man at the age of twenty years can save
from his earnings twenty-six cents every
working day, and annually invest the ags
gregate at compound legal 7 per cent, in
terest he will it the age seventy, possess
832,000. Many men who resort to life in-
surface, can save several times twenty-six
cents daily, and thus accumulate several
times the above sum, long before the age
of seventy. Nearly all large fortunes are
the result of such accumulations; hence the
men who amass great fortunes are usually
those only who live long. The last few
years of Girard’s and Astor’s lives increas
ed their wealth more than scores of early
years. To be in haste to become rich by
a few great operations, is a direct road to
eventual poverty. We cannot, however,
command long life, but we can approximate
therein by commencing early the process
of accumulation—an elongation hy extend
ing backwards being as efficacious as an
elongation forward. Every hundred dol
lars expended of what, at our legal rate
of interest, would, by compounding it an- ;
nually, become 83030, should he live to the
age of seventy. This lesson is taught j
practically by savings batiks, and wil ;
counteracts the fatal notion of the young,
that old age is the period for accumulation,
and youth the period for expenditure. By !
like principles, a young man who pays an-|
nually a premium for life insurance, loses !
not the premiums only, but the immense
increase which the money would produce,
should he invest it at compound interest,
and live to the ordinary limit of man’s life.

FANNY FERN ON MATRIMONY.
Shouldn’t I like to make a bonfire of all
the’Hints to Young Wives,’ Married Wo
man’s Friend,’ &c.,and throw in the authors
after them. I have a little neighbor who
believes all they tell her is gospel truth,
and lives up to it. The minute she sees
her husband coming up street she makes for
the door, as if she hadn’t another minute to
live, stands in the entry with her teeth chat
tering in her head, until he gets all his coat9
and mufflers, and overshoes, and what-do
you call ’em off,then chases round(like a cat
in a fit,) after the boot-jack; warms his
slippers, and puts ’em on, and dislocates her
wrist carving at the table for fear it will tire
him.
Poor little innocent fool! she imagines
that’s the way to preserve his affections.—
Preserve a fiddlestick! The constquence is,
he’s sick of the sight of her; snubs her when
she asks him a question, and after he has
eaten her good dinners, takes himself off as
soon as possible, bearing in mind the old
proverb, that too much of a good thing is
good for nothing.
Now, the truth is just this, and I wish all
women on earth had but one ear in common
so that I could put this little bit of gospel
into it: Just so long as a man isn’t quite as
sure as ifheknew certain, whether nothing
on earth could ever disturb your affection for
him. he is your humble servant, but the very
second he finds out, (or thinks he does,) that
he has possession of every inch of your heart
and no neutral territory—he will turn on his
heel and march off, whistling Yankee Doo
dle.
Now it is no use to take your pocket
handkerchief and go snivelling round the
house, with a pink m»9e and red eyes; not a
bit of it! You have made the interesting
discovery that yjru was married to make a
sort of upper servant, or house keeper,
keep all his strings and buttons, and straps
on, and then keep him at a distance, as a
house-keeper should—them’s my senti
ments! 1 have seen one or two men in my
life, who could bear to be loved (as woman
with a soul knows how,) without being
spoiled by it, or converted into a tyrant—
but they are rare birds, and shonld be
caught, stuffed, and sent to Barnum! Now,
as the ministers sry. I’ll close with an inter
esting incident that came under my obser-
vatinn-
Mr. Fern came home one day when I had
such a crucifying head ache that l couldn.t
have told whether I was married or single,
and thiew an old coat into my lap to mend.
Well, 1 tied a wet bandage over mt fore
head, ‘left all flying, and sat down to it—he
might as well asked me to make him a new
true principle of the road to wealth is first
the desire to gain, and the second to be
come your own banker. Almost every
man man who really desires to become
rich, may do so, if governed by these feel
ings and actions, and it is just as certain
that every person who takes more pleasure
iti spending than he does in seeing his pile
of treasure grow, will die poor.

THE FIR TREES IN OREGON.
The trunks are almost always perfectly
straight, and varying in height, from one
hundred and to three hundred and twenty
feet. They are very often twelve feet in
diameter al the stump, and trees that are
six or seven feet in diameter are not con
sidered large. When a tree is to be felled,
a boxing is made through the sap with an
axe, fire applied, and it will burn down
without ever touching again ; the wood is
so filled with pitch that it burns very rapid
ly, and when the tree ha9 fallen the fire
works at the roots until they are burned
out hollow, sometimes ten feet in the
ground. The cedar also grows very large
and straight and is always found with the
fir. There is occasionally an ash and cot
tonwood tree found on the banks of the
rivers, but they are scrubby, gnarled, and
seem to be out of their natural elements.
The fir and cedar comprise the timber of
Oregon, neither of which can be called
valuable for most purposes. The first nam
ed makes excellent hewing timber and
steamboat wood, but neither good for boards
to be planed or for inside finishing. There
is not a while pine tree in Oregon.

Large Plates of Glass.—The large glass
now so common in the show windows of
stores constitute one of the most cosily as
well as beautiful of ornaments. These im
mense panes are made in France, and the
process of their manufacture is thus describ
ed by the New York Mirror:
“The large plates are cast. They come
from the mould rough, and they must be
polished. What a work! It seems an im
possible one. But no—fasten down the
plate upon a firm table, and go to work
just as the marble men do with their slabs;
draw the heavy polisher backward and for*
ward hour after hour, with inexhaustable
patience, and the sharp friction after a while
prevails. As the work advances finer and
finer polishing powders are used, until at
length you find the workmen engaged with
soft rolls of cotton fabric, wet with nice pol-
nouncement is fraught with a Under if not ishing mixture, which gives the highest per-
melancholy interest. Oh menory—oh : fection of surface.
It is not strange that these plates should
cost something. Perhaps few are aware
how fast the price rises with increase of
size. Those large plates which are occa
sionally seen in shop windows, as in Slew-
LADIES SLEEYES.
Our worthy friend of the Springfield
Republican seems to be quite disturbed by
the intimation that the ladies are soon to
introduce the fashion of large sleeves, or
as they are sometimes styled, “leg-of-mut
ton sleeves.” We republish what our
brother of the Republican has to say on the
subject, begging our lady readers, to be
ware how, by reviving the fashion of large
sleeves, they distur b the equanimity of him
who so earnestly pleads against the act.
The editor says :
It is more than hinted that the old fash
ion of fifteen to twenty years ago, of large
sleeves of ladies’ dresses, is being revived.

Fast Captains and Careful Captains.—
The newspapers are discussing the question
whether it is not time for passengers lo
withhold their "plate” from the fast Cap
tains, who boast of making the “shortest
passage on record.” A majority of passen
gers would rather spend a few hours lon
ger on the passage than to run the immi-
nant risk of being drowned, or roasted alive
by making the passage in one-third of the
time. And tn crossing the Atlantic—most
persons would perfer to reach Liverpool at
twelve days, than to be hurried into Etern
ity at half a minutes notice. It takes fifty
tons more coal a day, it is stated in the New
York Mirror, to cross the Atlantic in nine
than it does in twelve.—Speed which is the
result of mechanical improvement, either
in the build of vessels, on in the driving
machinery, is a general benefit and the
proper means by which it is acquired should
receive encouragement, but that which ari

machinery, and endangering her safety, and
that of those who intrust their lives in her
is not only to be discouraged, but is de
serving of legal punishment.—Philada Leg-

TREASURES OF THE DEEP.
The Boston Courier says that within a
few weeks new efforts have been made to
explore the wreck of the British frigate
Plumper, which was sunk near Dipper Har
bor, about half way between Eastport and
Saint John, New Brunswick, with some
seventy five lives and 50,000 to $100,000 in
specie, in 1S1-5. The wreck lies forty-two
feet below the surface of the water, is of
course much decayed, and the adventurous
explorers had to overturn the washings of
sand, &c., which cover some six feet below
the bottom. The have brought up about
$220 in Spanish silver, mostly wholes and
halves, the action of the sea having made
them lighter than the original weight, and
they were blackened as if by powder, having
evidently been taken from the magazine.—
Remnants of pistols, grape shot. See.,
were also brought-up, and, as a sad ac
companiment, many human skulls. The
party will continue its explorations for the
present.
than one importer in this city has plates for
sale which are as high as eight hundred dol
lars!
Now these are great prices for a single
pane of glass. The glass is thick, indeed,
but after all, it is fragile. What a chance
for damage on a large scale! How much
mischief a careless boy may do in a mo
ment. We saw a costly pane yesterday
which had been cracked by the warpiug of
the window frame.
Mirrors have attained a monstrous size.
Ten feet is now no extra length; twelve ia
often attained. When the plates reach these
great lengths, a little increase in width adds
astonishingly to the price. A large mirior
is so beautiful a thing, that we can hardly
have the heart to reproach a man for buy
ing it, who has the means. It is durable,
and always useful. It fulfils that oft-quoted
desire of Bums—’to see ourselves as others
see us.’ ”
“CAUGHT A TARTAR.”
The Scott papers have been proclaiming
far and near, that Gen. Quitman, of Missis
sippi, had pronounced in favor of Gen. Scott
for the Presidency. But thay “barked up
the wrong tree.” The General has publish
ed a Card, contradicting their statement, in
which he thus declares for Gen. Pierce.
“I knew General Franklin Pierce pers
sonally while we were in the service to*,
gether, and since. His high intellectual
qualities, bis quick perception, and accurate
judgement of men, secured my respect,
while his nice sense of honor, bis sincerity,
his pure-minded, disinterested integiity
won my warm regard and friendship.— His
nomination was highly acceptable to me.”
Gen. Quitman speaks well, and no doubt
thinks well of Scott, as a military man. Mili
tary science, has been the study and business
of his life,and with the opportunities,and men
and means he has had at his command, it
would be extraordinary, indeed, if he had
not managed wilh success. But as a politi
cian, as a statesmaot, Gen. Q s preference
is strongly in favor of Gen. Pierce, whose
course in the councils of his State and of
the nation has been singuarly consistent,
and evincive of a powerful head and a pa
triotic heart. Old Hickory himself, the
firmest of the firm, and the true, in his day
and time, was not more true consistent, and
fitm, in his support of the broad principles
of our National Union and Constitution than
this same Gen. Pierte.—Atlanta lntelii
