POETftY. ’1 lie DriiHknrd’w Daughlir. BY 0. IV. BUNOAY. Out on the street, wiih naked feet, I saw the drunkard’a little daughter ; Her tattered shawl was thin and small; She little knew, for no one taught her. Her skin was fair, her adburn hair Was blown about her pretty forehead; Her sad, white face wore sorrow’s tracw, And want and woe that were not borrow’d. Heart-broken child, she seldom smiled; Hope promised her no bright to-morrow ; Or, if its light flushed on her night, Then up came the darker clouds of sorrow. She scf'ly said, ‘‘We have no bread— No wooa to keep the Are a burning." The child was ill, the wind so chill. Her thin, cold blood to ice was turning. But men well fed and warmly clad, Anti ladies robed in richest fashion, P isued on the side where no one cried To them for pitv or compassion. That lone night fL and, and then the light* Os tosv day in beauty shining, Set dome, »nd spire, and roof on Are, And shone on one beyond repining. A-lecp—alone—as cold aa stone, Where no dear parent ever sought her, In winding at eet ol snow and sleet. Was found the a- nnkard’shf' less daughter. God’s Time. P itmed ‘odisaf p :tcincuts a* usual.” ‘ D ti I say ‘as usual,” ag ift V"icn re plied. “You Komictiraea arc wonderful ly prospered.” ‘Y'es, I say as usual," was the quick aDgry response. ‘T find tie path blocked up whichever way I turn; try as bard a- I may, something or other upsets all tny plans. I might as well give up, one ume as another ” Peitap- it isn’t tbc right time, M said the soft voice aga'm; may be God would prove you before he ble-sesyou; perhaps lie sees that you are not prepared for prosperity. We must take the bless ings thankful yas they come, and the disappointments too, as part of his lov ing di-oipline. Everything comes best in G si's time.” Y'«, joy or sorrow, sunshine or cloud, (1 ntv t r pover y, al! come in “God’s time.” However much our own (flfori* may bring to us, it is well to remember ihat G and alone orders our successor our failure “God's time,” —the best time we shall always find it to be if we but look for his guiding and wait on him. Disnp p imtuents, viewed and reedved aright may prove the richest bles-ing*. “God’s timo,” —not that we must idly wait fur the sun of prosperity to shine upon uj, but humbly, earnestly, faith fully do each duty as it arises, leaving the rest wiih G"d Ilis time will bring u-gladness and prosperity, if be secs it inrour good. Titus trusting, we shall always “be glad iu the Lord,’' even “though the caith be removed, and the mountains he carried into the midst of the sea, though the waters thereof roar and he troubled, though the mountains -hake with ‘he swelling thereof.”— American AJfssenyer.

Os course we have been on it. Who would not*have been on one ? Show us uny inlttriml machine constructed thr* ugh the ingenuity of man for the breaking of bones, rij s ing open of cut icle, damage of eyes, warping of Lack bones, perpetrating of contusion* on head, or anything of that sort that tve have not been on or dare not try. Ve locipede is a good thing, if you don’t have too much of it; and you can’t have too much of it unless you get more than you want. Everybody rides velocipedes now-a-days. The ladies ride them. Men ride fhem The hoys ride them. Men ride them for fun. and ride them in earnestness And the confounded-est. stand-up tingest thing a man, womaa, or chi and ever saw, is a velocipede. They are erected on two whoe’s; one wheel being immediately in front of the other wheel, and the other wheel being immediately behind tother wheel. This makes it more binding on the pan of the operut' r. There are no axle trees, no yard arms, bolster, Irb st ror other paraphenalia pertaining to ox carts, wagons, bo —sleds, rail road cars, steamboats, balloons or arty other invt ntions t«r locomotion vet discovered '! here ia a little thing runs thr. ugh one wheel on which it rt-vilv s it comes straight up> like the national tux, then slants back four perches live I nits, and six degrees; ihen jabs downward to the little thing iri the hind wheel, and thus ends the first chapter, and likewise the Dext.— At the front end, when it is not going hack wind, there is a contrivance re semiring an auger, by which ihe am ir tious g 'est tun s, returns, unturns, overturns, and turns out of the way. Because of the auger hi Iront no one should consider the velocipede a per fect boro. Instead, it is a perfect go er; for many a man is learning to go on it, has started his gore in more pin ees than lightning ever struck the one j eyed pilot. Tue c incorn has a spine,' or backbone, which is used as a roof j for the two wheels The wheels are | three quarters ol an inch wide. The J backbone, or roof, ia an inch and a quarter wide. On this backbone is I affixed a cast-iron pad, resembling in i shape the frontispiece of some Dutch target company’s parade cap, except that the points ol the pad are so ar ranged as to hurt you where a man would not be hurt for ten cents, while mourned on the aforesaid invention of agony, providing be could h ip it. As a hcrsobuckist we have been called a success Once we rode a mule Ou another occason ure rode a brindle cow homo from the fair, not to add to our comfort, but to pay the aforesaid bovine for Dot drawing the premium On alffcther occasion we undertook to ride a speckled steer, but for some rea son or other his finis department had a tudden inclination to elevate itself into the air, and wa dismounted over hie heud, simply because the mane of the beast did not amount to much for banging on purp ses On unother occasion we rode a savv-milf saw for half an hour, but we never tried it agnin. But we did try the velocipede We got as'ride of and started. Immedi ately after a gentleman was discovered lying on the ground, it the merriment of lookers on. Once more we mounted the breach, if by these words a cast iron pad may be called, and under took to projtel the invention. Just then a gentleman struck his head with extreme violence against the curbv toDe More merriment. Another attempt, and just then a gentlemm was discov ered sprawling upon the ground wuth iis lett ear full of mud. Moro meiri ment, but not on the part of the Vic tim Pretty soon we got well under way, by the aid of two m n to push and a small boy to steer, while we were ijetting used to the contrivance, but at such an hour as we knew not of our aamstams departed from us.— We made two lunges ahead, and while endeavoring to turn <*ut for a young lady cramped the wrong way, codided, took tier on the invention in front of us, and we both went off to gether, to the damage of a $lO hat and a $23 Grecian bend Th** glorv of that hat *nn that bend departed w th much quickness, never more to return. As for the lady, we prav the Lord to pa don her for (tie feelings she enter ains toward us, for real y we could not help it! Wed, we tried it again Undtrtook to cross the street, and accidently ran our contrivance plumb against the hind end of a charcoal wagon.

The following anecdote of the late- President Lincoln has never l ean pub lished and unlike, perhaps, some of the siories ntDihuted to li ra, is an set ual fact During Mr. Lincoln’s prac tice of his profession of the law, long before he w as thought ol for president, he was attending the Circuit Court which met at Bloomingdule, Illinois.— The piosecuting attorney, a lawyer by the name of Larnon, was a mas of great physical strength, and took par ticular pleasure in athletic sports, and wes so fond of wrestling that hi* pow er and experience rendered him; a for midable and generally successful o; ponent. One pleasant day in the fall t Lutnon was wrestling near the court house with someone who had chal lenged him to a trial, and in the ecuf fle made a large rent in the rear of hns unmentionables. Before be had time to make any change, he vras called in to court to take up a case. The evi dence was finished, and Lamon got up* to address the jury, and having on a somewhat short coat, his misfortune* was rath»r apparent. One of the law yers, for a joke, s arted a subscription pap r, which was passed iront one member of the bar to another, as they sat by a long table fronting the bench, to buy a pair of pantaloons for Lamon, “he being,” the paper eaid, “a poor but wor by young man.” Several put down their names with some ludicrous subscription, and finally the pnper waa laid by someone in front of Mr Lin coln, on a [ilea that he was engaged io writing at the time, fie quietly gianctd over the paper, and immedi ately took up hi* pen and wrote after his name ; “I can contribute nothing to tin sndt in view."—licnch <{; Bar.
