V Not fallen !—no. as well the tall
And pillared Alleghany fall,
As well Ohio's giant tide
Roll backward in its mighty track,
As he, Coluinhia’s hope and pride-
The siaudered and the sorely tried,
In his triumphant course sink back.
Star of the \Vesi! a million eyes
Are turning gladly unto him;
The shrine of old idolatries
Before his kindling light grows dim!
And men awake as from a dream,
Of rncteor’s dazzling to betray,
And how before his purcr beam——
The earnest of a better day.
He is not fallen !--seek to bind
The cbainless and unhidden wind—-
Oppcse the torreiit’s headlong course,
And turn aside the whirl wiud's force—-
But dream not that the mighty uiind
\-Vill bow before :lie blast of hate.
Or quail at dark and causelcss ill!
For though all else be desolate,
It stoops not from its high estate-—
A Marius ‘mid the ruins still l
He is not fallen !—evcry breeze
Thai wanders o'er Columbia’s bosom,
From wild I’eunbsc.ot’s forest trees,
From ocean-shore. from inland seas,
Or, where the rich Maguoli-.i’s blossom
Floats snow-like on the sultry wind.
Is booming onward to his ear,
A ineed the falling never find——
A praise which patriots only hear!
All haill—-the hour is hastening on.
\Vhen, vainly tried by slauder’s flame,

Politeness.
‘ In/it c.7:lrcmcZ_y glut! lo scc _7,'.su.’——Tlicre are
more lies coiitauicd in these few words than in
oil the written speeches in a lawyer’s oliice; and
szill, the expression is on the tip end of every
nut-.'s iottguc. Imagine yourself seated in your
sunclrmt sauclormiz, wrapped up in the study of
some favorite author, or communing with the
hallowed nine, when, lo! in pops a cre-litor, and
ihrows a bucket ofice water upon your burning
zhnuglusl ‘ Ila! 'lly dear friend, .l’rn extreme-
ly _g-lad to see you.” Tlicre’s a thuniper for

her lips with vexation, at the same time forcing

\Vhcn I hear a person say—‘Do call again
and see me,’ it sounds very much like ‘John,
show the gentleman out.’
If I hear a man say he is sorry fortlie losses
of his dear friend, I generally translate it, ‘ hold
'ast is a good maxim.’
There is no such thing, as sincere politeness;
to be what the fashionable world terms polite, we
must necessarily. be hypocritical. The true
cliaracteristic of sincerity is bluutuess, and a
sincere man will never have the back-ache.

A Facl.—A scrupulous Quaker. down country
had a horse up for sale. A man called to pur-
chase liim, and asked the owner if the ‘horse
would draw well?’ ‘\Vill he?’ returned the
other, ‘thee will be much pleased to see him
draw.’ Abargain wasstruck and the money
was paid. After the buyer had kept the horse
several days, he went to the Quaker and said,
‘That horse will uotdraw an ounce. You war-
ranted him to draw well.’ ‘ Thou art mistaken
friend.’ returned Auiinidab, ‘I told Iliee that
thou woulddst be pleased to see him draw. So
should I be very ruucli pleased to see him draw,
but I never could get hiui to gratify me in
that respect.’
‘ I guess you mean tobring up that young one
to be pretty sharp at a bargain,’ said a fellow to
a woman, who was rocking and singing
with all her might, to a ‘little responsibility.’-—

to tran:port all the funds received in the post-
office here, to New-York, in specie! Last week
he took down $3000 that had been scraped to-

‘ IfI were so unlucky,’ said an officer, ‘ as to,

Blislci-in_g without Pain.—An Irishman.
whose wife had been suffering under some pec-
toral complaint, called for medical advice on a
surgeon. who ordered a blister to be piu upon her
chest. The poor Hibernian interpreted the di-
iectiou he got quite literally, although certainly
not in the right way, for on going home be
searched his whole cabin fora chest; but finding
as he afterwards informed the surgeon, nothing
so like one as ‘ a bit ofa trunk where Kate kaips
her mutches.’ he accordingly clapped the blister
on the lid of the l'I'll77fL',' and his wife, by good
luck. getting immediately beuerofhcrcomplaint.

Cattle should have salt twice a week : or the
better method is to put salt where they can get it
when they please; this method is recommend-
ed by many intelligent farmers who have long
practiced it. A small quantity of salt petre
mixed with salt is very beneficial to cattle.

portion ofeight quarts of ashes to one of salt, is

lVczo Plan of b'lic/c2'n__rr Peasc.-—I’rocure a
number of slim poles, about five feet long, and
drive tlierri into the ground at the distance of
three or four yards. Pass a small line along
the poles, taking a turn on each, within three
inches ofthe ground ; raise the next turn three
inches, and so on in succcssion.till you have at-
tained the common height to \\'lll(3llUpEElSE'. arise.
The tendrils of the pcase seize and twist round
these lines, and they are supported in a more at-

are b_v the common stakes. \Vlien sprt-ail
regularly along the lines they have a fine circu-
lation of air, more advantage from sunshine, and
pods can be pullcd at all times without injuring
the plants. and as the sparrows have no twigs to
light on, the portion of the crop which they de-
stroyanil tICV0llf' IS saved. ‘I‘l)is [node is so cheap
and simple. and possesses so many advantages
that it is likely to be soon generally adopted.-

Planting" Fruit Trees.-—Let it he observed as
a general rule. always to plant or lransplantyour
fruit trees before a lcafexpands ora blossom ap-

with equal success.
D{{/Tcrcncc be/zcrcn long trzilccl and short tailed
ho/‘.5cs.—Tlie following singular ailvertisemcnt
was painted in large letters on a board. placed on
the side ofa field, in the neighborhood of Green-
wich, Eng.
"Good grass for horses. Long tails, ihrec
slillliiigs and sirtpcucc per week; short tails two
shillings and sixpcnce per work." The differ-
ence in the cliarge was made because the long
tails can whisk off the flies. and cat at their leis-
ure, wliile the short tails were running about froui
morning till night.
Ifrzifroarl A(lvcnlu.'re.—-A short time since, a
young gcntlcuian traveling from the city of New
York in Raliway. on the New Jersey Railroad,
found himself sealed by the side of ayoung lady.
richly rlrcs-zed. and cxtreincly beautiful. She
sat musing in silence, evidently a stranger to all
in the cur until after they had left the Newark
Depot, when she suddenly uianifcstcd symptoms
of uneasiness and alarm ; so much so as to at-
tract the attention of the gcnilcuiau by her Sl(lC
and prompt him to inquire into the cause. Shr-
raiscd hcr veil and in a low tone very modestly
informed him that she had lost her purse, con-
taining a ticket to New Brunswick. and every
cent of money she had with her. This money,
she remarked, was of little consequence, being
only eiglit or nine dollars. but the loss ofihe ticket
would expose her to the suspicion and perhaps
insult of the agciit and others of the car. She
had purchased ilie ticket before she left :he city.
and could not imagine where, or how she had
lost her purse containing it. The gentleman
endeavored to soothe her {I-.‘[)l')l't'.‘ll(:‘llSlHl1 by say-
ing that the price of a ticket to New Brunswick
was but a trifle. and he wo lll most cheerfully
procure one for her hefor ie left the car. She
appeared very grateful fut‘ l iis kind interposition
to relieve her from the moriificaiion of being
obliged to expose her situation to inquisitive
agents, and drew from her finger an elegant dia-
mond ring to compensate him for his kindness
and the cost of the ticket, which. of course. was
declined. At Rahway he left the car. after giv-
ing the lady his name and l'Psl(.lCHt‘.€, aiul she
went on her way. A few days afterwards he
received a letter from New Brunswick, signed
C. D. inclosiug the identical ring which had
been offered liiui, and a five dollar bill, with an
assurance that at some future period he should
be made acquainted with her true name.——

to ihein, and that needs care and food. But
there is such a thing as being penny-wise and
pound-foolish ; and iliis is one of the most com-
mon ways of being so. Many a man who has
practiced on this plan ,lli'ougli he may not have
known why he has suffered, has in consequence of
it lost his fruit, or had his hen roost robbed, his
fences broken down, his cattle stray, or perhaps
his barn or house’ burntvin the night. Bud

A 'f'r>-'c Slur]/.—A very pretty, vcry proud
hclrcss li.-id a good many suitors, and was so
long making up her mind which to have, that
some of them gave up the chase. She was
waiting for the chance ofan offer from some one
wcaliliicr than any one who wooed her. The
meanwhile, she was becoming passe. Her un-
cle a shrewd man ofilie world, spoke to her one
«lay. rcmonstratiug against her folly in not ac-
cepting somcof the suitors. She laughed and
said there was full time enough, and that a he'-
tcroffcr would yet come. ‘ Very well. my dear,’
said her uncle, ‘enough is said on the subject.
Go into that caiicbralie. and cut me the bcst cane
you can get. Brit, mind, you must not turn
back to cut one.’ The young larly $Hlll°rl at [he-
oddness of this stipulation. and proceeded to
cxeciite his br-.liest. She entered the cauebrakc.
and was met by her uncle at tlieother end. She
handed him a stunted, shabby canc. ‘This,’
said he, ‘isa sorry cane. \-"ere there none bet-
ter in be found?’ ‘There were plenty,’ said
she, ‘I saw many fine canes at first. but I did
not cut one, then. because, to siy the truth. I
hoped than as I went on. I might see better ones.
But they got worse as I weiii on, and at last ]
was oliligcil in takeihis, rathcriliau none.’ Her
uncle replied, ‘this is exactly your mvn case.
You refuse good offers now. in the vague hope

will not fiaulhcuer offers as you advance-—just
as you did not find better canes—-and at last vou

A Story, with a moral to it.
A wealthy nabob had a very pretty daughter,
named Hosiuec, who being an only child, was
spoiled at an early age, and grew up with a
temper’ that often inarrcd her beauty of its
uiost liegiiilingattractions. She chose to fix
her affections on Siidek Bug, ayoung soldier of
good family, who, hoivcver, possessed no other
portion than his sword. The fatlier yielded to
her wishes iucvery respect, and Szidck, upon
learning the good fortune that awaited liiiu fes-
itatcd not to avail himself of the young lady's
condcsceusioii. But be resolved, at the same
time, that in accepting her hand he should not
as she t1p[)'.{t1‘t?(l to expect, become her sluvem——
The ceremony was purfurini-.d, apziruncuts were
assigned to the “happy pair” in the uabob’s
palace. It happened that while they were sit-
rfmgtogetlicr the first evening of their uiarriage,
a favorit- cat presented lierself‘, purring. to the
notice of the bride.,., Sudek atteinpted to play
with it, but the aniuial,je:ilous, pcrliaps, of his
novel and superior claims to the lady’s atten
tion, SCl‘{llCll('(I him, whereupon he deliberately
drew his sword, and severing its head from the
body, threw both out of the window. Hosi-
nee saw at once thait, instead of a slave she lliltl
obtaincda master. The effect was magical;
she became one of the most submissive and
Cliarming wives inthe world.
Among Sadck’s friends was a little hen-pcck-
ed fellow ofthc name of Merdck. Talkirig to-
ellicicnt ways of securin : it is by having good
».vrought in I-Iosiiv,-e’s character by the dc cisioi:
which S-udck evince 5 on the first day of their
marriage, and reiueinbering that. his wife also
(=i tmiiiaguiit. of the first water) had a feline fa-

‘I look to you for assistance,’ continued slic

will prompt you in aiding me.’

Success crowned her cfliirts. while it added to
ihe pleasure of acquisition; she began to ex-
perience the liighcrjoy ofsclllcoiiqucst, and her
inoiher’s approbation. She gave herself up for
two years to diligent study, and-cnnqucred at
length the higher braiiclics ofarithmciic.
Louisa, the eldest ofiliree chilihcu, had been
born to ilie luxuries of wealth. aiul scarcely an

A nervous tempcrameiit and delicate system

and his mind perplexed and harrasscul, seemed
to lose its clcarness in calculation and its happy
view of life. Louisa at this period was seven-
teen years of age; her unilcrsiauiling clear and
vigorous; her passions disciplirietl; and her
faculties resting like a young fawn, for a sudden
boi:nd. ,
It was a cold autumn evening ;.the cliililren
were beguiling theinselves with wild gambols
about the parlor; M r. Simons sat leaning his
head on lzishaud. gazing on an accuinulate-d pile

‘ Hush. Robert! Comeherc. Margaret !' said
Mrs. Simons. gently: and taking one on her lap

‘I no not wish to boast, dear father,’ said
Louisa, modestly; ‘ but when M r. Random gave
