POETRY.
Is this the Spot '3 ,
Is this the spot where once so well
My taskless childhood loved to stray?
Where now the sweet bi.it nameless spell,
That lured mine idle stops it way?
The charms which then my fancy fed,
In-vain I now essay to find; -
The spirit of the place has tied,
And left its grosser part behind.
The rocks are not. so quaint and gray.
The leaves are not so fresh and green,
The brook upon its noisy way
Is cheerless through the sylvan scene.
I'm not enraptiired now to hear
The warb‘ed joys of every bongh,
The wreatliing sky so blue and clear
Has but a common prospect now.
’Tis I have changed ! for nature still
To childhood’:-i heart is just as deal‘,
And forest, waters, field and hill.
Have music for its listening ear.
The dream of youth that comes to all,
Has passed like inorning’s starry train,
Sweet memory may its form recall,
But cannot give its power again.
The silvery strcamlet of the glen,
\Vhich loves and furies hover o'er,
Has flowed into the haunts of men,
And lost‘. its beauties evermore!
MISGELLANY.
Big Brindle.
In Nashville, many years ago. there re-
sided a gentleman of great hospitality, large
fortune, and although uneducated, possessed
of hard knot sense——Col. \V. has been also
Judge of the county court.
I-lis elevation, however, had made him
somewhat pom_ ous, and he was very fond
of using big words. On his form he had a
large and mischievous ox called Big Brindle,
who frequently broke down his neiglibor’s
fences, and committed other depredations,
much to the Colonel’s annoyance}
One morning, after breakfast, in presence
of some gentlemen who had stayed wit.h him
over night, who were now on their way to
town, hecalled his overseer,and said to him,
“Mr. Alleo,l desire you to impound Big
Brindle, in order that I may hear no more
animadversions on his eternal depredations.
Allen bowed and walked off, puzzled to
know what the Colonel meant So after
Col. W. had gone to town, he went to his
wife and asked ‘her what Col. W. meant by
telling him to impound the ox. ‘
“ Why,” said she, “ the Colonel meant
to tell you to put him in a pen.”
Allen left to perform the feat, for it was
no inconsiderable one, as the animal was _
very wild and vicious, and after a great deal
of trouble and vex-ation, he succeeded.
“ Well,” said he, wiping the prespiration
from his brow, and soliliquizing, “ this is
impounding, is it? Now I am dead sure
the Colonel will ask me if] impounded Big
Brindle.
The next day the Colonel gave a dinner
party, and as he was not aristocratic, Allen,
the overseer, sat down with the -company.
After the second or third glass was discussed
-the Colonel turned to the overseer, and said,
“ Eh, Mr. Allen, did you impound Big
Brindle, sir '2"
Allen straightened himself, and looking
around at the company, said :
“ Yes, I did, but old Brindle transcended
the impannel of the impound, and scatterin-
phisticated all over- the equanimii-y of the
.-forest.”
'l‘he company burst into an imi-node-rate
fit of laughter, while the Colonels face red-
dened with discomfiture.
“ What do you mean by that, sir 2" said
the Colonel.
“ Why, I mean, Colonel,” said Allen,
“ that old Brindle being prognosticated with
the idcaof the cholera, ripped and tared,
jumped the fence, took to the woods, and
would not be impounded, no how !”
This was too much ; the company roared
again, in which the Colonel was forced to
join, and in the midst ofthe laughter Allen
left the table, saying as he went, “I reckon
the Colonel won't ask me to impound any
more oxen.” ,
Remedies.
For Ambition—Go into the churchyard
and read the grave-stones; they will tell you
the end ofambition. The grave will soon be
your bed-chamber, earth your pillow, cor-
ruption your father, and the worm your
mother and sister.
For Rcpimi/ig—Look about for the halt
and blind, and visit the bed-ridden rand
afflicted, and deranged ; and they will make
you ashamed of complaining of your lighter
afliictions.
For Despondency—Look at the good things
which God has given you in this world, and
at those which he has promised his followers
in the next. He who goes into his garden
to look for cobwebs and spiders no doubt ‘
will find them ; while he who looks for a
flower may return into his house with one
blooming in his bosom.
Tm: Caxniis or V1n'rUs.—The charms
and comforts of virtue are inexpressible ; and
can be only be justly conceived by those
_ who possess her.- The conciousnees of Di-
vine approbation and support, and the steady
hope of future happiness, communicate a
peace and joy, to which all the delights of
the world bear no resemblance.
2G’ Where the-first_human eye bent lov-
ingly over thy cradle——where thy mother
first bore thee joyfully on her bosom-—where
thy father engraved the words of wisdom on
thy heart—there are thy afi'ections—there is
thy country. ‘
‘I
' The Bible in my Trunk.’
A few evenings ago I was present at a
tea-table where the conversation turned upon,
praying ‘before l'o‘lk;’ some of the party
contended that, where two travelers chanced
to lodge in the same room for lg night, it
would look Pharisaical for one or the other
to kheol down and ‘say his prayers’ in
presence of the other; while the other part y
defended the propriety of it, and asserted it
to be a duty. As an illustration, an incident
was related, where two members of our
Church—eat home good men enough-—both
got into bed pr-ayerless, for fear of praying
beforethe other’s eyes. This conversation,
which was very iiitcresting, and in course of
which many striking illustrations were ad-
duced to prove the healthy example of never
neglecting prayer, induced a clergyman
present to relate the following anecdote,
which I think worthy of preservation, and
perhaps may do some good :
“When I was a young man,” said the
clergyman, " l was a clerk in Boston. Two
of my rooin~mates at my boarding-house
were also clerks, about my. own age, which
was eighteen. The first Sunday morning,
during the three or four long hours that
elapsed from getting up until the ringing of
the Church-bell for -worship, I felt a‘ secret
desire to get a bible, which my mother had
given me, out of my trunk, and read in it;
for I had been so brought up by my parents
as to regard it as a duty at home to read a
chapter or two in the Bible every Sunday.
[was now very anxious to get my bible
and read, but I was afraid to do so before
my room-mates, who were reading some mis-
cellaneous books. At length my conscience
got the mastery, and I rose up and went to
my trunk. I had ‘half-raised it, when the
thought occurred to me that it might look
like over-sanctity and Pharisaical; so [shut
my trunk, and returned to the window. For
twenty minutes I was miserably ill at
ease; lfelt I was doing wrong. I started
a second time for my trunk, and had my
hand on the little Bible, when the fear of
being laughed at conquered the better emo-
tion, and I again dropped the top of the
trunk. As I turneil away from it, one of
my room-mates, who observed my irresolute
movements, said laughingly,
-“ ‘ll what’s the matter? You seem
as restless as a weathercock l ’
“I replied by laughing in my turn; and
then. ,_‘concei\'ing the truth to be the best,
frankliy told them both what was the matter.
“ To my surprise and delight, they both
. had Bibles in their trunks, and both were
secretly ~wishin‘g to read them, but were
afraid to take them out lest I should laugh
at them.
“‘ Then,’ ” said I, “ ‘ let us agree to read
them every Sunday, and we shall have the
laugh all on the one side.’
“ To this there was a hearty response;
and the next moment the three bibles were
out; and I assure you we all felt happierall
that day for reading‘ in them that morning.
“ The following Sunday, about ten o’clock,
while we were reading our chapters, two of
our fellow-boarders from another room -came
in. When they saw how we were engaged,
they started, and then exclaimed-—
“‘Bless us! what is all this? a conven-
ticle !’
“ In reply, I, smiling, related to them ex-
actly how the matter stood ; my struggle to
get my Bible from my trunk; and how we
three, having found we had been afraid of
each other Wllllolll a cause, had now agreed
to read every Sunday.
“‘Not.a bad idea,”’ said one of them.
“ ‘ You have -more courage -than I have. I
have a bible, too, but have not looked into
it since I ca-me to Boston; -but I'll read it
after this, since you have broken the ice.’
“ The other then asked one of us to read
aloud, and both sat and quietly listened till
. the bell rang for church.
“That evening, we three in the some
room agreed to.have a chapter read every
night by one or the other of us at nine
o’clock, and we religiously adhered toyour
purpose. A few evenings alter this resolu-
tion, four or five of the boarders (for there
were sixteen clerks boarding in the house)
happened to be in our room talking when
the nine o’clock bell rang. One of my room-
mates, looking at me, opened the Bible.
The others looked inquiringly; I then ex-
plained our custom.
“‘ We’ll all stay and listen,‘ ” they said,
almost unanimously. "
“ The result was, that, without an excep-
tion, every one of the sixteen clerks spent
his Sabbath morning in reading in the Bible;
and the moral effect upon our household was
of the highest character. I relate this inci-
dent,” concluded the clergyman, “ to show
what influence one person, even a youth,
may exert for evil or good. No man should
ever be afraid to do his duty. A hundred
hearts may throb to act right, that only await
a leader. I forgot to add that we were all
called the ‘ Bible Clerks.’ All these youths
are now useful and Christian men,and more
than one is laboring in the ministry.”
E7iergy.—By J upiterl how that fellow
works! Everything falls before him. No
obstacle is too great for him to\surmount——
no ocean too wide for him toleap—no moun-
tain too high to scale. He will make a star
in the world, and no mistake. Such are the
men who build our railroads, dig up the
mountains in California, and enrich the
world. There is nothing gained by idle-
ness or sloth.. This is a world of action;
and, to make money, gain a reputation, and
exerta happy influence--you must be ac-
tive, persevering, energetic. They must not
quail at,shadows, run from lions,nor attempt
to dodge the lightning. Go forward zealous-
ly in whatever you undertake, and we will
risk you any where and through life. Men
who faint and quail, are a laughing-stock to
angels, devils, and true men. ,

Sham» Hays and ’ his Bull‘ Race.
Some forty years ago, the managers of a
race course near Brownsville‘, on the Mo-
nongahela, published’ a notice of a race,
one mile beats, on a particular day. fora
purse of $100, “ free fir anything with four
legs and /mi-r an.” A man in the neighbor-
hood, named Hays, had a bull that he was
in the habit of riding to mill with his bag of
corn, and be determined to enter him for the
race. He saidnothing about it to any one,
but he rode him around the track a number
of times, on several moonlight nights, until
the bull had the hang of the ground pretty
well, and would keep the right course. He
rode with spurs,.which the bull considered
particularly disagreeable; so much so that
he always bellowed when they were applied
to his sides.
On the ’ morning of the race Hays came
upon the ground “ on horseback” on his bull.
Instead of a saddle, he had a dried ox-hide,
the bead part of which, with the horns still
on, be had placed on the bull’s rump. He
cairied ashort tin horn in his hand. He
rode to the judges’ and offered to enter his
bull for the race, but the owners of the hor-
ses that ‘were entered objected. Hays ap-
ealed to the terms of the notice, insisting
that his bull had “ [our legs and hair on,”
and that therefore he had a right to enter
him. After a good deal of “ cussin and dis-
cussin,” the judges declared themselves coin-
pelled to decide that the bull had a right to
run, and was entered accordingly.
When the time for starting arrived, the
bull and the horses took their places. The
horseracers were our of humor at being both-
ered with the bull, and at the burlesque
which they supposed was intended, but
thought: that would be all over as soon as
the horses started. When the signal was
given they did start. Hays gave a blast
with his horn and sunk his.spurs into the
bull's sides, who bounded off with a terrible
bawl, at no trifling speed, the dried ox~hide
flapping up and down, and rattling at every
jump, making a combination of noises that
had never been heard on the course before.
'l‘he horses all flew the track, every one
seeioed to be seized with a sudden deter-
inination to take the shortest cut to get out
of the Redstone country, and not one of
them C0l1l<l be bI‘0.Uglit back in time to save
their distance. The purse was given to
Hays, under a great deal of hard swearing
on the part of the owners of the horses.
A general row ensued, but the fun of the
thing put the crowd all on the side of the
bul.l. The horsemen contended they were
swindled out of the purse,and that, if it had
not been for H:Iys’s horn and the ox hide,
which he ought not to have been permitted
to bring on the ground, the thing would not
have turned out as it did. Upon this, Hays
told them that his bull could beat any of
their horses, anyhow, and if they would put
up a hundred dollars Jgainst the purse which
he had won, he would take off the ox-hide,
and leave his horn, and run a fair race with
them. His offer was accepted, and the
money staked. They again took their
places at the starting-"post, and the signal
was given. Hays gave the bull another
touch with his spur, and the -bull gave an-
other tremendous bellow. The horses re-
membered the terrible sound, and thought
all the rest was coming as before. Away
they went again, in spite of all the exertions
of their riders, while Hays galloped his
-bull around the -track again, and won the
money. From that time they nicknamed
him Sham Hays. He afterwards removed
to Ohio, but his nickname stuck to him as
long as he rlived.—N. Y. Spirit oft/be Times.
I-Ioxnsr FARM!-:RS.—-TWO farmers having
a dispute as to some land, on action at low
was commenced to determine it. On the
day fixecl,one of them called on his opponent
to accompany him to the court, that each
might give his own statement ofthe case.
Finding his neighbor at work in his
field, he said to him, “ is it possible you
have forgotten our cause is to be tried to-day '2”
“ No said the othe , “ I have not forgotten it,
but I cannot well ‘spare time to go. You
will be there, and I know you are an honest
man, and will state the case fairly, and justice
will be done. And so it proved; for the
farmer stated his neighbor’s claims so clearly
that the cause was decided against himself,
and he returned to inform his opponent that
he had gained the property. Such a cha-
racter is worth more than the wealth of the
Indies.
' 113' Sir Joshua Reynolds once asked Dr.
Johnson, by what means he had attained his
extraordinary accuracy and flow of language.
"Johnson told him, that he had Early laid
down as a fixed rule to do his best on every
occasion, and in every company: to impart
whatever he knew in the most forcible lan-
guage he could put it in, and that by con-
stant practice, and never sufferiiig any care-
less expression to escape him, or attempting
to deliver his thoughts without arranging
them in the clearest manner.
Kindness.-—The language of reason, un-
accompanied by kindness, will often fail of
making an impression; it has no effect on
the understanding, because’ it touches not
the heart. The language of kindness, no-
associated with reason, will frequently be
unable to persuade; because, though it may
gain upon the affections, it wants that which
is necessary to convince the judgment ; but
let reason and kindness be united in a dis-
course, and seldom will even pride or preju-
dice find it easy to resist.——Gisborne.

that the starboard sorrel boiler of the Troy
horseboat has exploded, and that old Whitey
