Upon the plashlng steamer;
We hail the vessels coursing past,
With flying sail and streamer;
We step upon the Lobster Dock,
And smell the sickening savor;

Ilc tastes the dawning flavor !
We thread the winding! of Somca' Sound.

We bow before the majesty

The Crime of Poverty.
The writer is one of a large class, who,
convicted of a grave offense against the laws
of social life, are with more or less fortitude
bearing the punishment meted out to them.
I blush to own it, but have to acknowledge
thatI was born poor and have remained
poor for more than a score of years. My
father, owing to a defective education and
the cspousal of the principles of Christian-
ity, curly imbibed many homely notions;
and shaping his life according to the admo—
nitions of certain apparently worn out pre-
cepts and obsolete fables, found in an
ancient and venerated volume called “ Holy
\Vrit,” he was a stranger to those highly
popular and honorable pursuits by which
many of his cotcmporaries secured great
wealth, or plucc‘nnd power. He was sin—
gularly moderate in his desires, and culpa-
bly ignorant of the value of money; so
much so, that he seemed studiously to avoid
all those acute and enterprising business un-
dertakings which so often raise the projec-
tors to affluence and world-wide recognition.
Although solicited by that ubiquitous and
ill-omcncd adviser familiar to all, he stoutly
refused to appropriate to himself an inheri-
tance rightfully belonging to others, orto
traffic in whiskey—that destroyer of men‘s
souls—or to obtain capital to start in life by
rubbing his employers of a sufficient amount
to make him a respectable defaultcr. He
had neither the mate nor talent for stock
gambling, nor was be sufficiently patriotic
or public-spirited to secure, by political pal.-

creditors—when we remember how that
fond parent failed to take advantage of any
of the shrewd and honorable devices where-
by he might. have secured enormous wealth,
and we, romping our disreputable existence,
might now bask in the sunlight of unbound-
(‘tl riches and the approbation of fawning
1mrasitcs—wbcn the criminality of our im-
poverished condition and the scorn of so-

with the words of Solomon wringing in
our curs, “ All the brethren of the poor do
hate him: how much more do his friends
go far from him? be pursucth them with
words, yet they are wanting to him," we
fain would hide our heads in confusion and
cry out with Cain, “ My punishment is great-
er than I can bear !“
Now all this is an humiliating confession;
but before honor is humility, and it will
serve to show how circttmstanws, rather
than innate depravity, have marked me as
one of those whose “ friends go far from
him." Observation and the chastenings of 11
hard experience have humbled me to that
degree that I find myself under (let-p convic-
tion; andI expect through sincere repent-
ance and the leading of a new life finally to
emerge from among the proscribed and take
my place with the purseproud, gilded and

wealthy; that Miss Hannah Blanche, having
studied music and Frank, had dropped the

of commonplace nonsense with Blamtdtt, I
departed, in 110 very enviable frame of

But Blanche is rich; and when she conde-

gmu'ful I am! When her bursa spatter me

A la- Covered up Forty Feet. Deep In
a Well—lie Scratches OIL
The Plattsburg (Missouri) Beam says: A
singular and tragical afi'airoccured at Poplar
Grove, Grundy county, 111390an on the 7th
inst. One John Andrews, 3 popular and
well-to—do farmer in the neighborhood, had
a well dug some forty feet deep, and had
walled it up about fifteen feet, when it was
discovered that the wall was about. to cave
in.
Mr. Andrewa gathered up an armful of
short boards, and went down a pole ladder,
fastened to the side of the well, to lay them
new the well, so as to prevent the dirt as
it fell from filling up that part of the well
walled up. He had not more than reached
the bottom, as it was thought, before the well
caved in, filling up to a few feet of the top.
The alarm was giving and the neighbors gath-
ered, but all believing him dead, they returned
to their homeam make arrangements Income
the next day and dig him out. Mm Andrews
and two grown daughters, and several smaller
children, refused to leave the spot, but sat
on a log near the well crying, until late in
the evening, when all at once they saw Mr.
Andrews emerging from the well, covered
with clay, and coming toward them!
The children all ram, screaming, to the
house, bolted the doors and fastened the win-
dows, believing it to be their father's ghost.
But Mm. Andrews ran to meet him, scream-
ing at the top of her voice, “ Oh, John! 011,
John! is that you? is that you 5'" When she
.reached him she fell fainting at his feet.
It seems that when he got to the bottom
of the well, he looked up and saw the top
giving way. and believing he had not time
to make his mpg he slipped under the
boards which he had laid across the well,
when the whole thing fell in upon him.
All hope, at first, gave waf, and he was about
to let himself drop into the water below and
end at once his miserable feelings. But feel-
iug above, be found the clay easily crumbled,
and hope revived.
The pole ladder, it seems, was still stand-
ing, and getting hold of it with one hand,
with the other he scratched away for life,
the dirt falling into the water below as be
dragged his body slowly upward. It seems
he did not safer in breathing, as frmh air
came down the pole, around which the dirt
w 1003er pncked. In the incredible short
time of seven hours he scratcheda hole some
forty feet long, through which he made his
escape. This is one of the narrowest hair-
breadtli mpes from a horrible death on

Without going into too abbot-“e a disco.-

wheel is in proportion to its semi-diameter,
and hence that the load on a wagon should
be placed proportionally to the diameters of
the front and hind wheels. Suppose the
front wheels are four feet, and the hind wheel-
five feet in diameter—then five-ninths of
the load should rest on the hind wheels and
four-ninth; on the front wheels.
