MISOET iT ? /X JTY, Philip,*my King. Thc following poem, written by Miss Mu locb, (the author of "John Halifax,") is so exquisitely beautiful, that we are sure our readers w;ll thank us for republishing it: PHILIP, MY KING. "Who bears upon hit baby brozo, the round and top of sovereignty." Look at mc with thy ?arge brown eyes, Philip, my King! For round thee the purple shadow lies Of babyhood's regal dignities. Lay on mv neck tay tiny hand, With lovers invisible sceptre laden, I am thine Esther, to command Till thou shalt find thy Queen handmaiden, Philip, my liing! Oh! thc day when thou geest a-wooing, Philip, my King! When those beautiful tips are sucing, And some gentle heart s bars undoing, Thoa dost enter love-crownecb and-here Sitter! all glorified- role kindly, Tenderly, over thy kingdom fair; For wc that love, ah! we love so blindly, Philip, my King! I gaze from thy sweet mouth up to thy brow, Philip, my King! Ave, there lies the spirit all-sleeping now, That shall rise like a giant and make men bow As to ono Gbd-throncd amidst bis peers; My Said, than thy brethren, higher and fairer Let me tiebold du e in coming years! Yet, thy head necdetli a circle rarer, Philip, my King! A wreath not of gold, but palm ono tU?>. Philip, my King!

" Suddenly Mr. Choate asked him: "Was there a moon that night?" . "Yes, sir." "Ah, yes, a moon-" "Yes, a full moon." "Did you see it?" "Not a mite." "Then how do you know there wsis a moon?" "The. Nautical Almanac said so, and I'll believe that sooner than any lawyer in the world." "What was the principal luminary that night, sir?" "Binnacle lamp aboard thc Chal? lenge:" "Ah; you tire growing sharp, Mr. Barton." "What the blazes have you been grinding me this hour for-to make me dull?" "Be civil, sir; and now tell me what latitude and longitude you crossed the Equator in?" ' SSho'-you're joking. " "No, sir, I am in earnest, and I de? sire you to answer me." "I shan't." "You refuse, do you?" "Yes-I cant." "Indeed! You are chief mate-of a clipper ship, and unable to answer so simple a question?" "Yes, "tis the simplest question I ever had asked me. Why I thought every fool of a lawyer knew that there ain't, no latitude/at the Equator!" That shot floored Rufus, THE INFLUENCE OP NEWSPAPERS. -A school teacher, who has been engaged for a long time in his profession, and witnessed the influence of a newspaper upon the minds of a family of children, writes as follows: I have found it to be tho universal bud. without exception, that those scholars of both sexes and of all ages, who have access to newspapers at home, when compared to those wno have not, are: 1. Better readers, excellent in pro? nunciation, and consequently read more understandingly. 2. They art; better spellers, and de tint! words with ease and accuracy. 3. They obtain practical knowledge of geography in almost half the time it requires others, as the newspaper has made them acquainted with the location of the important places of na? tions, their governments and doings on tlx! globe. 4. They are better grammarians, for having become so familiar with every variety of style in thc newspapers, from the common-place advertisement to tin; finished and classical oration of the statesman; they more readily comprehend the meaning of the text, and consequently analyze its construc? tion with accuracy. 5. They -write better compositions, using better language, containing more thoughts, more clearly and moro connectedly expressed. G. Those young men who have for years been readers of newspapers, are always taking tho lead in debating so-J cieties, exhibiting a more extensiva j knowledge upon a greater variety of subjects, and expressing their v/ews with greater fluency, clearness and correctness, in the use of laugw*P?
