JOHNSON, CAMPBELL & CO. Maecm ; Ga , March ’69—2m POETRY. ScluiilzciTs I'lliIom» A NKW BALLAD, RY HANS DRKITMAN. “Hans Breitman” has caught the veloci pede fever. Ilia euthusiastn is tempered somewhat, howevor, by the fact that a friend ol his, named iichnitzerl once made n won derful velocipede which killed tbe inventor, whose melancholy death is set forth in the following ballad: Herr /Schuitzerl make a philosopede, Von of de newest kind; It vent mitout a vheel in front, And hadn’t none pelilnd. You vheel vas in de mittal, dough, And it vent as sure as ecks. For he sthruddlcd ou de axei-dree Mil der vheel petween bis leeks. Uml ven he rant to sthart id off He paddled mit his veet, Uud soon he cot to go so vast Dat avery dings he peat. He run her out ou Broader shtreed, He shkeeted like der vind, Ilei 1 how he passed de vancy chaps, Und lef deni all pehind 1 Dc vellcrs roit de trotting nags Pooled oop to sec him bass; De Deut.scherß all erstattnished saidt: “Potilmnsend ! TK«s tat das f" Boot vaster shtill der Schuitzerl slewed On—mit a ghastly smile ; ne tidn’t toouch de dirt, py Not vonce in half a mile. Oh, vot ish all dis early pliss? Oh, vot ish Amu’s sooeksews? Oh, vot ish various kinds of dings? Und vot ish habbiness? Ve find a pank rode in de shtreedt, Next dings ber pank ish preak ; Ve falls, nnd knocks our outsides in, Ven ve a ten-shtrike make. So vas it mit dor Schnitzerleio On his philosopede, Ilis feet both eh lipped outsideward shoost Ven at his exdra speed. He felled oopon der vheel, of course; De vheel like blitzee flew; Und Schuitzerl lie vas sehnitz in vact For id shlished him good in two. Und as for his philosopede, Id cot so shkared, men say. Id pounded onward till it vent Ganz teufelwards afay. Boot vhere i-h now der Schnitzcrl’s soul? Vhere dos his shbirit pide? In Ilimmel, troo de endless plue, It takes a medeor ride. A Woinnii’s Dream. She sat alone in the moonlight, her benutifu! cheek resting upon her hand, so soft and white and dimpled. Y 7 ou could tell, as you looked at her, that her thoughts were far away, and that she was thinking of something beauti ful. Her eyes were wistful; her lips were softly pressed together; the dim ples in her cheeks had died out, and only tbo dimple in her chin remained, that little rosy cleft, tbe impress of Love's finger. She was less glowing than at times, but none the less lovely. I thought to myself, as I 10-iked at her that she was nearer Ileavtn than we coarser mortals, and I longed to know whither her pure tieart turned i'self I approached her; she did not hear rne. I spoke ; she did not answer. I touched her softly on the arm ; site looked up and smiled, a far-away smile, such as an angel might have given. “You arc thinking very intently,” I said Bho answered, ‘YYs,’ in a subdued tone of voice, as though that which was on her mind was too holy for dis cussion. But I persisted. “Will you tell me what your thoughts were?” 1 asked. She shook her head. “You could not understand,” she said. ‘ I could try,” I said humbly ; “I am coarse and rude, l know, but I could strive to comprehend ” She smiled sweetly, but still with th at tar-away look in tier dark ej’es. “No, not coarse,” she said, “but you are a man. It is so different with men; were veil a woman you would understand at once Now, perhaps, you may smile, may laugh at me.” ‘Believe mo. n >,” I whispered; “I adore the beautiful, the pure, the true. Let me know your sweet thoughts.” She gave me her hand “I will till you,” she said. “I have thought of nodiing else all day. Lust night I lay awake thinking of it. lam wrong, oh ! if I am wrong, Edgar, I tremble to think of it.” “Y 7 ou cannot be wrong,” I said. She gave mo her other hand. “You think not?” she said, “ah but you cannot bo so good a judge as a woman I thinn—l believe—” “Y'S, yes,” I whispered, bending nearer; “yes, Angeline.” “I am almost sure,” she said, in ac cents softer than the ripple of falling water, “almost sure, Edgar, the blue fringe will look better on anew walk ing suit than purple velvet. Don’t you think so ?” C3TA few evenings since, with joy ous spirits and gorgeously arrayed, I sal lied forth with charming Clara, for a dashing promenade. Ab, what strains of magic power swell tho chord of youth ful pride, a3 one treads the walks of fashion with a beauty by bis side! Cla ra, with grace betwitebing, seemed to trip on fairy feet, and each passer turned to view us, sailing gladly up the street; thrilled this heart for my fond affection’s queeD, beating lime with quickest meas ure, to ber crinoline. Suddenly my charmer faltered, as il shocked by some great ill, wails the anguish of her feat ures, seemed my very soul to stiU; light ly on my arm she languished, and 1 cried in anxious far—speak, inv darling Cla ra—tell me what’s the matter, dear!— Metbinks her gentle form grew lesser by the collapse of her gown, as she sighed in trembling accents, “Love, my skele ton is down!” Printers’ accounts are said to bo like faith-—‘The substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen.’ Allan’* Kiltie Story. “I AM THE DOOR.” It was a rainy Sabbath, too wot for Johnny to go to church, and so father and mother left Allan home to take caro of him. The playthings wore all put away, except Kitty; so Johnny played with Kitty till lie made her an gry by trying to take her up by tho ears, as Allan took his rabbits. Then she jumped out of the window, and Johnny saw her no more that morn ing. S “Allan,” ho said, “I wish I could jurt go and look into my box of play things. I won’t take out one. I just want to look at them ; that wouldn’t bo breaking tho Sabbath, would it?” “It would he going into tempta tion,” said Allan; “and you know you prayed this morning, ‘Load us not into temptation.’” “O dear,” sighed Johnny ; “then I wish I was at church.” “Como,” said Allan, “I will preach you a little sermon ” “Well,” said Johnny, “I will lis ten.” 8o Allan look the great Bibio, nnd found this text, which was so easy that Johnny could read it himself; “1 am the door.” “Here is a test for a little boy who is four years old,” said Allan, “for it has just four words in it, one for every year; the first word is‘l.’ That has only one letter in it. This moans the Lord Jesus, the good Saviour who loves little children. The second word is ‘am.’ That has two letters in it.— When Jesus says ‘I am tho door,’ of couse he doesn’t mean that he is the door like that you shut just uow ; but this littie sermon is to show you how he is like a door. The third word is' ‘the,’ which has three letters. Jesus says ‘the dour' because there is only one door into tho kingdom of heaven. Tho fourth word is ‘door,’ which has four letters in it. A door lots people into the house; and if there was no door they could not get in. So the Lord Jesus lets his people into the kingdom of heaven; and if it was not for him, they could not get in at all. “A door keeps out the rain, and the dogs and thieve?; and so Jesus keeps all evil and hurtful things out of his beautiful heaven. Now, when ■you want to get into a house, you go straight *o the door; and so if wo want to go into the kingdom of heav en, we must go to Jesus and ask him to let us in.” So Allan kneeled down, and little Johnny by him, and they prayed to the dear Lord to make them his own good children, so that they might go into his beautiful city when he comes. Child'B Delhjht. Cliiiicsc Parable on llo*pitali* ID Fold, in the course of his wanderings, coming to a village, knocked at tie door of a rich woman, and begged permission to enter. “What!" said she, “do you think I receive into my house every rov ing vagabond? No, indeed, it would be unbefitting a resp/ ctable womarjgo your way!” Then he went to tho cotfago of a poor woman, who at once kindly begged him to enter. She set before him the only food she had, a iittle goat’s milk, broke a piece of bread into it, *‘M iy Fohi bless it that we may both have enough!” Blic then prepared for him a couch of straw; and, when he fell asleep, perceiv ing that he had no shirt, she sat up all night and made him one out of gome liuen she had mule by her own haul la bor; iu the morning she brought it to him begging he would not despise her Door gift. After breakfast, she accom panied him a littlo way; and at par'ing, Fohi said, “May the first work you un der take last un it evening!” When she got home, she began to in asure her linen, to s -c how rnuoh was left; and she went on measuring, and did not come to the end of it until tbo even ing, when her house and yard were full of liner.; in short, she did not know what to do with her wealth. Her rich neighbor, seeing this, wag sorely vexed, an 1 resolved that such good fortuue should not escape her aga n. After some months the traveller came once more to tbo village: she went to meet him, pressed nim to go to her house, treated him with the best food she had, and in tbe morning brought him a shirt of fine linen, vvlroh she had made some time before; but all night sho kept a candle burning in her room, that the stranger, if he awoke, might suppose she was making his shirt, After broakfast, she ticcompßaicd him out of the village; and when they parted he said, “May tbe first work you undertake last till evening!” She wont her way him c, thinking the whole time of her linen, and anticipa ting its wonderful increase; but just then her cows began to lew. “Before I measure my lincD,”said she, “I will quickly fetch the cows some water ” But when sho poured the water into tbe trough, her pail never emptied; sho on pouring, tbe stream increased, and soon her house aDd yard were all under water; the neighbors complained that ev erything was ruinod; the cattle were drowned, and with difficulty she saved her own life, for tho water never ceased flowing un>ii the setting of the sun. BfPuA blacksmith of a village io Spain murdered a naan, and was con demned to be banged. Tbe chief poas ants of thc placo jtiiucd together and begged tbe alcade that the blacksmith might not suffer, because be wat neces sary to the place, which could not do without a blacksmith to shoe horses, meud wheels, etc.“But,’thc alcade said, how, then, can I fulfil justice?” A labor er answered, “Sir, there are two weav ers iu the village, and for so small a place, one is enough; hang the other.” yol. o. money TS. Enterprise.. Mr. I\, a wealthy man, retired, from business, was urged by a friend to engage in a mercantile scheme, from which large profits wero apparent. “You are right,”" Baid ho, “as regards tho probable suc cess of the scheme, but L shall not em bark in it. I have too rnuoh money a»Y ready.” lie was asked to explain, and re marked: "Yes, I would not arose the streot to gain thousands. I should be' happier if my inoomc wore less; lam old and in a year or two, whatever I pos sess will avail me naught. My daughr ters aro dead, and I have three sons whom I dearly love. My own cdiioa— ! Hon had boon neglected; my fortune wa» gained by honest labor and careful eoon omy; I had no timo for study, but J re solved that my sons should have every advantage. They each received a clas sical education, and then I gave them the choice of a profession. Tho eldest would be a physician; the second’ chose the law; the third resolved to follow my footsteps as a merchant. This was to my mind; I was proud of my sous, and trusted ono day to see them distin guished, or at icast usoful to their fellow men. I spared no expense in their train ing; they had never wanted money,, for 1 gavo each a liberal allowance. Never had men fairer opportunities; but look at tho results; tho physician has no pa tients; the lawyer no clients; while tho merchant—instead of following my ex ample—is about visiting bis conntiog room! In vain I urged them to greater dilligenco. What is tho response?— ‘There is no use, father—we shall never want money, we know you have enough for all.’ Thus, instead of being ener getic and useful members of society, my sons are more idlers and men of vaiw display. Had they been forced to strug gle against difficulties to gain their pro fessions, and were even now dependent on their own exertions for support, they would in all probability have done cred it to ihomsclves and me.”— l*hrcnolo<jic~ al Journal. Nebraska Life. A citizen of Nebraska thus posts an Eastern correspondent who speared a variety of questions as to tho territory and life there; “What kind of a country do you live in ?” “Mixed and extensivo.

He asked tho usual question, whether there was any reason why the ordinance of baptism should not be administered. After a pause a tall, powerful looking chap, with an eye like a blaze, who was leaning on a long rifle and looking on, rotnarked; “Elder, I don’t want to inter* sere in this yere business any, but I want to say that this is an old sinner you have got bold of, and I know that ono dip won’t do him any good.
