IP ID llfll 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. [Literary World. id asfsiyyyajn 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 Institute. TFffls 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. Atwcrtisemcnts.
