TREES IN THE CITY.
BY MKS. JOSEPH C. NEAL:
’Til beautiful to see a forest stn<l
brave with its moss-grown monurelis, and the
pride
Os foliage dense, to which the south wind bland
Comes with a kiss, as lover to his bride ;
To watch the light grow fainter, as it streams
Through arching aisles, where branches inter
lace,
Where sombre pines rise o’erthe shadowy gleams
Os silver birch, trembling with modest grace.
But ye who dwell beside the stream and hill,
I’rizc little treasures there so kindly given ;
The song of birds, the babbling of the rill,
The pure unclouded light and air of heaven.
Ye walk as those who seeing cannot sec,
Blind to this beauty even from your birth,
We value little blessings ever freo,
We covet most, the rarest things of earth,
But rising from the dust of busy streets,
These forest children gladden many hearts:
As some old friend their welcome presence greets
The toil-worn soul, and fresher life imparts.
Their shade is doubly grateful when it lies
Above the glare which stifling walls throw
back,
Through quivering leaves we see the soft blue
skies.
Then happier tread the dull unvaried track.
And when the first fresh foliage, ctncrald-hucd,
Is opcniugWowly to she sun’s glad beams,
How it rcealloth scenes we once have viewed.
And c hildhood’s fair, but longforgotten dreams.
The gushing spring, with violets clustering
round, —
The dell where twin flowers trembled in the
breeze, — ‘
The fairy visions wakened by the sound
Os evening winds that sighed among the trees.
There is a language given In the flowers, —
To me, the trees, “ dumb oracles” have been;
As waving softly, fresh from summer showers
Their whisper to the hoart will entrance win.
Do they not tench us purity may live
Amid the crowded haunts of sin and shame,
And over all a soothing influence give,—
Sad hearts from fear and sorrow oft reolaim 1
And though transferred to uncongenial soil,
Perchance to breathe alone the dusty air,
Burdened w ith sounds of never ceasing toil, —
They rise as in the forest free and fuir, —
They do not droop and pine at adverse fate,
Or wonder why their lot should lonely prove,
But give fresh life to hearts left desolate, —
Yet emblems of a pure, unselfish love.

NEWSPAPER SUBSCRIBERS.
The following classification of newspa
per subscribers we take from our own ex
pel cnce ami we can safely say that the
picture is drawn “as natural as life itself.
First come the
Uprights. —These are men who take
newspapers, pay for them and read them.
Observe the order in which these tilings
are done: the pay comes first—the read
ing next. These men consider they get
the worth of their money in the bargain.—
It seems as fair and just to them that the
newspaper should hi pai 1 for, as a barrel of
sugar or anew coat. They never enter
tain any other opinion. When the year
runs out, or a little before, they are on
hand with the pay. There is no more dif
ficulty with them in remembering this peri
od, than Sunday or the first of January.—
If one of them wishes to stop his paper, he
either calls or writes a letter by his post
master, in due season, like a man.—This
class is dear to the heait of the editor.—
Their image is embalmed in his warm af
fections. May they live a thousand years,
and see their sons’ sons to the fourth gen
eration. The second class now in mind is
the
l)o Wells. — rr bis class is nearly related
to the othet—so near, that it is hard to tell
where one begins and the other ends.—
These men always pay in advance in the
beginning and intend to do continually.
But memory fails a little, or tjme mishap
intervenes, and the time runs by—some
times a little—sometimes for quite a peri
od. But their recollection, though nod
ding occasionally, never gets sound asleep.
It pronounces the word in due time, —“ The
printer is not paid,” their will to do well
kindles into activity. Now comes the pay
ing up—“ Meant to do so before.—Don't
mean to let such tilings pass by.” A pub
lisher can live with such men. They have
a warm place in his memory—only a little
back of the Uprights. If such a man dies
in arreas his wife orson remembers that
lie may not have paid up for his newspaper,
and forthwith institutes inquiries. They
remember that pait of the benefit was
theirs, and estate or no estate, see that the
printer's bills are not among their father's
unsettled accounts. Next comes the
Easy Doers. —These men believe in
newspapers. They have fully settled it in
their minds that a newspaper is a good
thing. They take them tod. Sometimes
at the fast they pay up for the first year—
at any rate they mean to, pretty soon.—
If they have done so, they sit down with
the comforting conviction that their news
paper is settled for: and this idea having
once got into theii heads refuses obstinate
ly’ to be dislodged, but keeps its hold from
year to year—a truth once—now an illu
sion, grey r and rheumatic with years.
The editor marking the elongated and 1
elongating space in the accounts current of
their dollars, begins to ask if they are dead,
or have gone to California. Now he be
gins to poke bills at them They suddet ,
]y start up at the reality that they are in
arreas; and like men, as they are at the ;
bottom, pay tip. They never dispute his
bills—they know books tell better stories
than moss covered memories. If the pub
lisher has faith enough or a long purse,
and can live like a hibernating bear, he
may survive these men. But if he is mortal,;
only, woe be to him. The next class is
that of the
Down Hillers. —Here we begin to slide
over to the other side. The picture snd- !
denly gets sombre. We shall despatch the
down hillers suddenly. One of these may j
take a paper because wife wants one or
the children are zealous to read it--or a
neighbor persuades him. When it begins ;
to come lie dismisses all thought about it
further. If the editor 6ends a man direct
ly to him at the end of two or three years, ;
he may get some pay for his paper, hat
with growls and surly looks. He never j
pays any debt if he can get rid of it, and a
newspaper least of all.—Still he hates law
suits and constables and all that. A dun
has the same effect on him that a bullet;
does on a hippotamus, glancing from his
hide, or sinking into the blubber harmless.
He is always sliding down hill and soon
merges into another class, that of
The Nix Com Rouse. —No matter how
the man began his subscription, lie never
pays for it—not he. “lie don’t like that
bort of paper. It don’t give no news. He
never did like it. He didn’t want it in the
first place, and told the postmaster so.—
He sent hack one more than a year ago—
besides he never began to take it till a long
time after it came, and he hadn’t had only
two or three of them at any rate, and
those he hadn’t read.” Wipe him off.—
Here comes the
Scape Grace. —lt is enough to say of him
that he never fails to have a newspaper —
two or three of them. When he thinks
they have come about long enough for the
publisher to want pay, he sends back with
“stop it.” Or he takes up his quarters
and leaves for parts unknown. He does
not want to pay, and he don't mean to.—
Get it if you can. Enough for him.
GIVE ME*YOUR BABY.
We saw a poor woman sitting on the
steps in front of a hotel, on Fifth-street, the
other morning holding a pale yet beautiful
infant in her arms ; in one hand she held
a saucer containing a few pennies. She
was about thirty, and neatly clad, although
the dress was of the cheapest material.
One cotild see that her position of life
had been better, and perhaps a happy one
for years.
Our attention was airested by a crowd of
well dressed ladies, who were standing
around and endeavoring to beg the baby.
“What a sweet child 1 said one.
“ Poor little dear!” said another, “how
I should love it if it was my own 1”
The mother drew the child closer to her
bosom but said not a word.
Another lady, in whose face one could
see, at a glance, a fountain of charity
and love, seemed more intent in the child
than any other.
“Give me your baby,” said she, “and I
will take good care of it.”
The poor woman looked up for the first
time, with a face so melancholy, and the
tears trembled in her eyes. “No madam,
i thank you for your kind feelings, but 1 ;
cannot part with the only thing I have left
to love on earth !”
This was enough. The lady dropped a
half eagle upon the saucer, and turned i
away in tears. The others opened their \
purses, and placed their offerings in charit- j
able sociability with the gold piece. We add- \
ed our mite, and walked away a happier
and a better man.— Cincinnati Com.
THE DWELLER IN THE SHADOW
OF THE CROSS.
BY ELIZABETH M. SARGENT.
There was a Spirit missed in Heaven. —
And a child awoke to anew and troubled
being. Very strange were the sights and
sounds to the eye and the ear of the child,
and its blue eyes were filled with wonder.
The child was beautiful, and a lialoof gol
den hair encircled its brows, where the
sunshine lingered, and then threw off a
thousand sparkles. Deep blue were the
eyes that mirrored the Heaven it left. The
child grew in years, and by and by the
gray of earth crept into the blue eyes, and
the halo of golden hair was dimmed, and a
brown shadow rested thereon, save when
in the sunshine, and then the curls threw
off gleams of the olden Glory. Very gay
and gleesome was the child, save when, at
some momemts, a shadow would steal a
cross the spirit—a shadow that dimmed the
sparkle in the eye with sudden tears, like
the big drops that come before the storm.
The tears made holier the spirit? and
washed away the stains from its whiteness.
The child became a pilgrim like its fel
lows, for tlieir rest was not on earth.
Cheerful and singing it went on its way
save when the shadow fell across it. The
Pilgrim knew it was but a Shadow, but
| there was in the soul a prophetic feeling
which bade it gird, itself for a stern war
fare. No harm had come to it as it went
its lonely way. Hours of rest the Pilgrim
knew, seasons of sweet sleep—wherein
pale shadowy Dreams hovered ever the
Slumberer. And the Dreams led him into
the land of Symbols, and this was what
he saw there:
They led him across a barren, sandy
plain. The morning sun was shining
brightly, but lie was sad, for the way was !
toilsome, and a dark spirit was by his side :
—a dark spirit which clung to the hand of j
the Dreamer, nor would be shaken off.
Palsied was the Dreamer with dread,
hut still he went on, and the sun rose
higher. The heart was fainting and the
soul sick with the weary road, when sud
denly there rose to view a fair tree. A
tree whose branches were laden with ros
lO'Siaiia® nine.! ©niiitiz,
cs. all glittering with dew-drops in the
morning light. The Dreamer went be- 1
ncath the rose tree, and a shower of dew
drops greeted him and cooled the fever of
his brow’. Strength gathered he from tlieir
coolness, and new life from the fragrance
of the flowers. He went his way with
this new-gathered strength, and sought a
gain to shake off the grasp of the Dark
Spirit. The Dark Spirit grew pale, and
as the Dreamer went on his way with his
soul full of prayer for the strength given
him by the dew-drops and the fragrance of i
the rose-tree.
The Pilgrim awoke, and kept the Dream
in his heart. On went he through the j
long years, and the Shadow fell across his
pathway more frequently, till at last he
grew to loving its gloom.
There were many spirits who ministered
unto him, and one who came more frequent
than the others presented a crystal chalice
to his lips. Bitter was the diaught to tbe
taste, hut his soul was jwrified by it. Ve-
ry pale and beautiful grew the Pilgrim— ;
Grey and deep grew the eyes, like a twi
light sky seen through a sunnysshorer.w r er.
At length the way of the Pilgrim was .
1 all in the shadow, and he knew that the
hour had come; and when the heavy burden !
was laid upon him, his spirit sank not, for
; he was strong with the Faith that had
| grown like a star out from the gloom that
I had shadowed his young years—and the
j star of Faith led him onward, till his
l heavy burden was a burden no longer, but
i became as wings to the tired Pilgrim. And
lie went upward, and I saw him no more
s —but I pray for the Faith which was born
; in the Soul of the Dweller in the Shadow
j of the Cross.
HYMENEAL BLISS.
j A beloved friend once said unto me:
j “When a good man weds, as when he dies,
! angels lead his spirit into a quiet land, full
j of holiness and peace; full of all pleasant
i sights, and 1 beautiful exceedingly.’ One's
i dreams may not all be realized, for dreams
t never are; but the reality will differ from,
! and be a thousand fold sweeter, than any
dreams; those shadowy and impalpable
! though gorgeous entities, that flit over the
I twilight of the soul, after the sun of judg
\ inent has set. I never hear of a friend
! having accomplished hymentzation, with
[ out sending after him a world of good
| wishes, and honest prayers. Amid the am
’ bition, the selfishness, the heartless jost
j ling with the world, which every son of
| Adam is obliged more or less to encounter,
! it is no common blessing to retire therefrom
into the calm recesses of domestic existence,
and to feel around your temples the airs
that are wafted from fragrant wings of
the Spirit of Peace, soft as the breath which
curled the crystal light
When love, and hope, and joy were hers,
And Dutiful upon her mountains,
The feet of angel messengers.”
. No common boon is it—we speak in the
rich sentence of a German writer—to enjoy
“a look into a pure loving eye; a word
without falseness, from a bride without
guile; and hear close beside you in the still
watches of the night, a soft-breathing
breast, a sermon, and a midnigh. prayer!”
W. G. Clark.
AN AMERICAN DOCTRESS.
The medical community of Paris has
been set a talking by the arrival in this
j city of the celebrated American doctor,
I Miss Blackwell. The lady lias quite be
j wildered the learned faculty, by her diplo
j ma, all in due form, authorizing her to dose
! and bleed and amputate with the best of
I rhem. Some of them are certain that Miss
t Blackwell is a socialist of the most furi
ous class, and that her undertaking is the
j entering wedge to a systematic attack on
j society by the fair sex. Others who have
I seen her say that there is nothing very a
j lanning in her manner; that, on the con
| trary, she appears modestand unassuming,
and talks reasonably on other subjects.—
i The ladies attack her in their turn. One
i of them said to me the other day, “ Oh, it
j is too horrid, I’m sure 1 never could touch
her hand! Only to think that those long
fingers of hers had been cutting up peo
ple V I have seen the doctor in question,
and must say, in fairness, that her appear
ance is quite prepossessing. She is young
! and rather good looking; her manner indi
cates great energy of character; and she
j seems to have entered on her singular ca
reer from motives of duty, and encouraged
by respectable ladies at Cincinnati. After
about ten days hesitation on the part of the
directors of the Hospital of Maternity, she
has at last received permission as a pupil.
SISTERS OF CHARITY IN ST.
LOUIS.
I have been remiss in duty in not before
paying a tribute of praise and gratitude to
| a body of Christian and benevolent females,
I but for whose heroic conduct our list of
’ inoitality would have been swelled to a far
j greater length than even its fearful apear
j ance now presents. I allude to the “Sisters
|of Charity” of the city of St. Louis. In
every sense of the word they have proven
i themselves to be the “ good Samaritans”
;of this community. When panic and a
j larm had driven the relatives of the depar
! ted, in some of our most respectable fami-,
\ lies, to seek safety in flight from the pres
ence of the dead, and none could be found
to pay the last offices to such as slept in
death, and to robe the body for the grave,
these dauntless, self-sacrificing, religiously
devoted females have never been appealed
to in vain, but have frequently gone and j
performed that which none others were
willing to undertake. When public city
hospitals were established in every ward in
this city, where the most loathsome subjects
of this loathsome disease were huddled to
gether in large numbers, and to take care
of whom neither money nor entreaties
could secure attendants, these “ Sisters of
charity,” with heroic firmness, again threw j
themselves into the breach, and voluntarily
tendered their services to the public authori
ties as nurses. Here, in these charnel
houses of the living, for week in and week
out, they have stood as faithful sentinels
facing the arch enemy Death with a com
posure and fearlessness that nothing but!
an unbounded leliance in the overshadow
ing care of a crucified Redeemer could im
part. and contesting, inch by-inch, the com
bat between that enemy and his victims
with whom they were constantly surround
ed. And when they have found that na
ture must yield to the king of terrors, and
that the curtain of death wasrapidly draw
ing around the sufferer, upon bended knees
they could be seen reclining over infected
lips, and entreating the expiring penitent
to look with the eye of faith upon the im
age of their expiring Saviour. In the dens
of vice, and in the humble habitations of
| the most destitute among us, and that are
ever found in the outskirts and the by-pla
j ccs of all large cities, these messengers of
j mercy,philanthropy,and charity can be seen
I moving by day and by night, ministeiing
! unto the sick, comforting the afflicted, and
I . °
i gathering together helpless orphan infan
i cy, that places of refuge might be secured
; them in some of the different asylums of
our city. When I see such disinterested
; benevolence as this—at a time, 100, when
| fear has rent asunder the ties of affection
land consanguinity; when many of our
| clergy, with their families, have sought
iin flight that protection which they so
| pathetically preach, in time of health, can
only be found in God, and where almost
! every one acts upon the selfish and un
christian principle of “ Every man take
care of himself”—l feel as if that public
acknovvledment should be made which
such praiseworthy and benevolent conduct
deserves. —Letter From St. Louis.
Marriage. —We were somewhat star
tled the other day on hearing a young la
dy declare that rather than be an old maid,
! she would have the first person that would
j offer himself, even though in dalliance in
| the lap of dissipation. How little did she
j think of the misery that might attend her
i future existence, if unfortunate in her
! choice. We fear that such as these are
| too prevalent in the present age. Mar
i riage is sometimes made a transaction very
| slight, and based on too sudden an impulse
\of feeling. The partnership is formed to
; day and dissolved 10-morrow. We have
made these few remarks in the hope that
they may elicit the serious attention of
such as may- be interested, trusting that be
fore they make use of the monysyllable
yes, when the question was proposed, that
they will think of it, and be impressed
with the consideration that it is better to
live in ‘single blessedness,’ than be the
slave of a being whose feelings kave been
blunted by the giddy indulgence of bad
passions or habits. If this precaution he
observed, it cannot fail to strenghthen do
mestic happiness.
Tije Mormons. The Mormons area great
people. Their new temple at the Salt Lake
is to be a splendid building. They enclose
a lot of seventeen miles long and twelve
miles wide, with a mud wall eight feet high
and four feet thick. There are to be four
cities inside. They have discovered moun
tain rock that resembles cornelian stone
which is beutiful for temples and pillars.
The size of the temple is not stated, but its
highest point is to be six hundred feet and
can be seen eighty miles either way. On
the shores of many ot the lakes a crust is
formed an inch and a half thick. They
break up this crust, scrape off the dirt on
the bottom and top, and find it pure salara
tus. A mountain of pure rock salt has
been discovered near the Mormon settle
ment. The last end of the journey to the
Salt Lake, say two hundred miles, is atten
ded with little fatigue. Nearly all the way
the roads are good. —Boston Investigator.
A Peep at Fashionable Life.—We
take the folowing humorous story from the
Cincinnati Nonpareil:—
“A couple of lawyers who do not circu
late amongst the ‘ upper ten,’ desirous of
penetrating into the secrets of fashionable
life, adopted the singular experiment of
j mounting upon one another's shoulder, and
j peeping into windows. Several ladies in
! a fashionable mansion on Fourth street,
; the other night, were assembled in their
’ pallor around a work-table, chatting and
conversing gaily, when man tumbled
heels over head into their midst. One of
the two lawyers mentioned above had
j mounted upon the other’s shoulders in a
kind of craw-fish fashion, and was luxuri
| ating in the loveliness of the fair ones there
| assembled, when the other, through freak
or whim, gave a sudden lurch, and sent
I his colleague headlong into the room.—
; The master of the house, alarmed at the
cries of the ladies, come the room and
I ejected the gentleman as suddenly as he
| had entered. So much for a glimps of
j fashionable life.’
Human skin nailed to church doors.
I —Mr. Albert Way communicated the re
sult of a correspondence relating to the
tradition handed down in several instances
| that the doors of certain churches had been
covered with human skin as a punishment
of sacrilege. Sir Harry Englefield had
first called the notice of the Society of An
tiquaries to the existance of such a tradi
tion regarding the churches of Hadstock
and Copford, in Essex : and the Hon. Rich
ard Neville, in his ‘Antiqua Explorata,’had |
again stated the record preserved by popu
lar belief in those parishes. It appeared
that a similar tale was known at Worces- ,
ter in relation to the great north doors of
the cathedral—supposed to have been cov- j
ered with the skin of a person who had
robbed the high altar. These doors had
been renewed of late yeais, and the old !
wood-work deposited in the crypt; but by
the assistance of Mr. Jabez Allies, a por
tion of the supposed human skin had been i
obtained, which remained under the iron j
work and clamps,—the skin having evi-;
dently been laid upon the doors when first j
made. It proved onexmination by a pow
erful microscope, to be in fact human.—
Mr. Way stated that having obtained por
tions of the skin from the church doors at
Uadstock and Copford, these had proved
also, on scientific examination, to be hu
man skin. —Minutes of the Arehaological

INTERESTING AGRICULTURAL
EXPERIMENTS.
Some recent experiments in wheat and
flour go to prove that both contain water, j
and that the quantity is more in cold 1
countries than in warm. In Alsace from
sixteen to twenty per cent; in England
from fourteen to seventeen per cent.; in
the United States from twelve to fourteen
per cent.; in Africa and Sicily from nine to
eleven percent. This acounts for the fact
that the same weight of Southrn flour yields
more bread than the Northern. English
wheat yields thirteen pounds more to the
quarter than the Scotch. Alabama flour,
j it is said, yields twenty percent, more than
1 Cincinnati; and, in general, American flour,
according to the authority of one of the
most c.xtcncive London bakers, absorbs
eight or ten per cent, more of its own
weight of wither in being made into bread
than the English. The warmer the coun
try the more is the water dried out of the
grain before it ripens, and hence, when
made into bread, it absorbs more water
again, and is therefore more valuable.—
Professor Heck has written a report for the
Patent Office, in which he shows that the
presence of water unfits these articles for
preservation. The books of a single in
spector in New York city showed that in
1847 he inspected 218,679 barrels of sour
and musty flour. In his opinion the loss
on these was $250,000. Every year the
total Joss in the United States from mois
ture in wheat and flour is estimated at from
$3,000,000 to $5,000,000. To remedy this
great evil the grain should be well ripen
ed before harvesting, and well dried before
being stored in a good granery. Kiln drying
is preferable. The mode of ascertning the
amount of water is this: Take a small
sample, say five ounces, and weigh it car
fully. Put it in a dry vessel, which should
be heated by boiling water. After six or
seven hours, weigh it carefully, until it los
es no more weight. Its loss of weight
shows the original amount of water.
Crapes At All Seasons. Mr. J. F.
Allen, of Salem Mass., is said to be the
greatest producer of grapes by artificial heat
in the United States—having nine grape
ries. Some of his hot-houses are over 100
feet in length, and ripe grapes of the choic
est varieties are hanging on the vines
every month in the year. His produce this
year will be about 5000 lbs., and his ar
rangements promise to double the yield—
for market, of course. Peach trees and
apricots are cultivated in the same way.
Floral Embellishments for Farm
Houses.—l would have the windows of
our farm houses adorned with flowers, not
in rusty tin measures, and old black glazed
spoutless teapots, and glass bottles with
their necks broken off, but in whole and
hansome flower pots or neatly painted
wooden boxes, for thy really cost little or
nothing. I would have the piazzas or
porches trellised with vines. I would
have the doer yard filled with flowers and
shrubbery, and the roadside lined with
trees; here a clump and there a single line,
mingling the varieties as nature mingle
them.
