BE KIND.
Be kind to thy father; for when thou wast young,
Who loved thee so fondly^s he?
He caught the first accenft that feli from thy
tongup, ^
And joined in thy innocent glee.
Be kind to thy father; for now he is old,
His locks intermingled with gray;
His footsteps are feeble, once fearless and bold?
Thy father is passing away.
Be kind to thy mother; forlo! on her brow
May traces of sorrow be seen;
Oh, well mayst thou cherish and comfort her now, j
For loving and kind has she been.
Remember thy mother, for thee she will pray
As long as God giveth her breath;
With accents of kindness, then, cheer her lone
way ' mwinrt-'- """ -*
E'en to the dark valley of death.
Be kind to thy brother; his heart will have dearth,
Jflhe smiles of thy joy be withdrawn;
The flowers of feeling will fade at their birth,
If the dew of affection be gone.
Be kind to your brother, whoever you pre;
The love of a brother shall be
An ornament purer and richer by fir
Than pearls from the depths of the sea.
Be kind to thy sister not many may know
The depth of true sisterly love;
The wealth of the ocean lies fathoms below
The surface that sparkles above.
Thy kindnessshall bring to thee many sweet hours
And blessings thy pathwaj to crown;
Affection shall weave thee a garland of flowers,
More pleasant than wealth or renown.
GO IT, BOB-TAIL.
A specimen ot ine genua HooBier was
found by Captain , of the steamer ,
in the engine room of his boat while lying at
Louisville, one fine morning in June. The
Captain enquired to know what he was doing
there?
"Have you seen Captain Perry?" was the interrogative
response.
"Don't know him; and can't tell what that
has to do with your being in my engine room,"
replied the Captain angrily.
"Hold on! that's just what I was getting at.
You see, Captain Perry and I walked down
town together. Captain Perry -asked m" to
take a diink, and so?I did; I knew that I (
wanted to drink, or I wouldn't have been so ;
very dry. So Captain Perry and I went to
the ball?Captain Perry was potting in some
extras on one toe. I sung out, "go it Captain
Perry, if you burst your hiler." With that a
man steps tip to me, and ssivs he, "See here,
stranger, you must leave."
Says 1, "What must I leave fur?"
Says he, "You're making too much noise."
Savs 1, I've been in bigger crowds than this,
i .'.....i..0...1 a:.r..? i ??
aim niauv; inwir 11wiov, ?iiiv* uru in inivo uuuiti.
With that he tuck me by the nap of the
neck and the seat of the breeches?and I left.
As I was a shoven down the street, T met a lady
I know she was i ladv by a remark she
made. Says she, "Young man I reckon you'll
go home witn me?" i
Politeness wouldn't let me refuse, and so I |
went.
I'd been in the house but a minute, when I ,
heard considerable of a knocking at the door.
I know'd the chap wanted to get in, whoever
he was, or he wouldn't have kept up sucli a
tremendous racket By and by says a voice,
"Ef you don't open I'll bust in the door."
And so he did!
I put on a bold face?and says I, "Stranger
does this woman belong to you?"
Says he "she does."
"Then," says I, "she's a lady I think, from
all that I have seen of her."
With that he came at me with a pistol in
one hand and a howie knife in the other, and
being a little pressed for room, I jumped thro'
the windy, leaving the bigger portion of my
cont tail. As I was streaking it down town
with the fragments fluttering to the breeze, I
met a friend. I knew he was a friend by a remark
he made. Says he, "Go it, Bob-tail, he's
a gamin' on you!"
And that's the way I happened in yoor engine
room. l'in a good swimmer, Captain, but
do excuse me if you please, from taking water.?Louisville
Journal.
Novel iray to evade Toll.?A few days ago,
some young men, near Doddington, being unable
to pay toll for a donkey which theyBiad
with them, dressed it up with a coat and hat,
and raising it on its hind legs, proceeded to
support it through the gate, with these consoling
words, "Come along, brother, yon ben't so
drunk as you pretend to be."?Liverpool Paper.
The World's Fair.?Wo understand from
the National Intelligencer that the Secretary
of the American Committee Mr. Kennedy, received
by the Cambria a copy of the "Official
Catalogue of the Great Exhibition of the Industry
of all Nations," published by authority

are from all the civilized nations of the
earth?from tho Yellow Sea, the Burnmputra

Alice Glen.
I noticed one day, in my ride towards home,
an old worn chaise, in which was seated a
young man, a fragile looking creature, with
cadaverous cheek and hollow eyes, that glistened
fearfully with each roll in the socket.?
The loose fold of garment that hung over his
form betrayed its shrunken proportion; his
hands were childishly folded, with a meek air,
upon his lap, and his posture, backward swaying
and listless, indicated extreme exhaustion.
TU. _i.J _t?:? -i 1 i?e Li
i iic wuni uiu uuuiau biuuu ueiurtr a niaruie
worker's shop, wliere, fronting the door; along
the smoky building, and on all sides, white
shafts, gray stones, and brown slabs uprose,
ghastly shapes yet beautiful, with angels and
cllerubs sculptured thereon, some pictured with
willows, some with doves, some with graceful
urns, many with sorrowful faces of mourners
bending over departed hopes, bnried with the
cherished dead in the church yard.
It seemed a gloomy stopping place for one
apparently so near his end ; and yet the serene
countenance of the wan invalid was- suffused
with a glad, almost hoi)* expression, that softened
its ghnstliness and made its sadness more
spiritual. Day after day, as I passed, I met him
always in the same place, either being assisted
by some friend into the old chaise, or sitting so
listless, yet so patient, waiting the progress of
the laborers engaged with their work around
him.
By chance I met a friend who knew the invalid.
I mentioned carelessly my opinion of his
apparently hopeless case, and wondered, as
any passing stranger would, who he was, and 1
what drew him so frequently and statedly to J
the shop of the marble-worker. 1
"He is a doomed man," replied my compan- |
ion, "and being fully aware that his time is short, <
he is superintending the work of his own mon- 1
nmerit "
I was startled, and looked my friend fixedly 1
in the face. "It is a heartless whim," I ex- <
claimed impatiently, "a living man watching ]
the progress of his own tomb-stone." j
"No, not heartless," be replied, "only singu- i
lar." George Uennet, that is his name, was <
once a yonng man of good health and good 1
exj>ectations-? by-the-by, that latter was his i
ruin in a manner; never a more humble, pa- i
tiently-waiting heir did I see, sir, than that i
same young man ; but," he added with erapha- J
sis, "when his uncle died, and tbe splendid for- 1
tune came?fine fortune and no mistake, sir? 1
he was off and away on the broad road, to dis- 1
sipation. Beginning with moderate prodigality
to rid himself of this golden encumbrance,
I.*: desiressoon knew no bounds. He gradually i
threw offtherestraints which once a sense of du- j
ty, engendered by a mother's pious teachings, j
bad kept him under, plunged into fashionable i
follies, forgot God, ruined a good constitution,
and soon sank ail but a small portion of his
fine legacy. Poor fellow, in his case the race (
was to the swift; hut it has ended in his destruc- (
tion. Now here comes the romance.
In his humbler days he really loved, and engaged
himself to a Miss Glen, a pretty intelligent
girl of Scotch descent, one of the most
amiable creatures I ever knew; but she had '
only a lew thousands, say ttiree at uie most, to 1
bring as a wedding dowery. She never doubt- '
ed his truth, nor would she believe the least report
derogatory to his reputation. Ah! well,
but women are loving and forgiving creatures,"
soliloquized my friend with an absent air, (he
was a bachelor,) and for full three minutes he
was silent.
" Did he ever marry her?" I asked with a
concealed feeling of impatience.
"Never;" ho exclaimed abruptly, " no; he
wentto Philadelphia, dangled arouuda few golden
satellites, front thence to Europe, came back to
the States, paid court to a lady of wealth, and
would willingly have wedded her, but did not,
for the very good reason that she learned to despise
his character.
After an absence of three years he visited
Boston again, a wreck in body and fortune. I
met hiiu first, and well remember how heavily
he loaned unon mv side as we walked together
through the old familiar tiioroughfares. He j
said nothing about bis prospects or disappoint- ,
ments, but talked of various subjects, mostly of
politics and Europe, till we by merest accident !
stood opposite the old ground?you remember,
Copp'a Hill.
1 forgot to say that I too had been for many j
months absent Bonnet expressed a wish to
walk through, and did it not seem strange that
he mado a pause, from very weakness and wea- .
riness, opposite a small, smooth, white stone,
that was familiar to neither of us ? and when 1 ,
would have led him farther on, he pushed aside
the long, damp grass, and fell to conning the
inscription.
Judge of my surprise, as well as his remorse,
when I read the following:
Sacred to the memory
of
AT.TP.F. ftT.PM
who died September 15,18?,
of consumption.
Aged 19 years.
Lore knows no change in heaven.
I do not like to dwell on what followed.? ;
Beunet was smitten to the earth, conscience 1
being his next accuser. There he writhed, 1
pressing his cold forehead to the colder stone, J
at intervals exclaiming, wretch, wretch, wretch, '
and oh! Alice. 1 tell you sir, the mere sight of
that agony was hard to bean what must huve .'
been the eudurancc. 1
Well sir, he staggered out the church-yard, j
npnoolnfr Vila an! lad Imndkerchief to his mouth, | '
|/l UlvJ 0VI4V<M
and depending entirely on mo for support. I '
s&w his hand was slightly stained, and by degrees
the linen orimsoned, growing with every
moment deeper and more scarlet
"Bennet, you are bleeding!" I exclaimed, J
starting with affright; and closing my urm a- i
bout him, I beckoned to a haokman who was '
passing, helped the poor, fellow into the carriage,
and by the tim? I got bim home, sir,
there was hut little life in him I assure yon.
Since that he has never rallied, until this
spell of fine weather; he has been here now
regularly every day, come In; yonder is the
marble, look at the design."
We stepped into the shop, and the man who
was working at the stone paused, u ith his hand
upon its top.
It was pretty, unique, and calculated to arrest
the attention. Two little cherubs held a
scroll, unon which, amid the fancifnllv arran
ged flowers, could be traced the words, "Alice
forgive; God has forgivenThen followed
the name; age and date were left out, and this
quotation of scripture came next in order "For
he that soweth to his flesh, shall of the flesh
reap Corruption; hut he that soweth to the Spirit,
shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting."
"Ah! my dear -sir/' said my friend, after a
long silence, "were I an atheist, the perfect
pattern which poor Bennet's* recent life affords,
would shake my doubts of Christianity, apd
scatter them to the winds; does not thitfshow,"
and he [>ointed to the stone, "a holy fearlessness
of death and its grim appurtenances?"
We walked home together in a thoughtful
mood; the next day I missed the chaise, the
next and the next following. I met my friend
again, be toid me the yonng.man was dead.

Investig a. rioif.?Fear not investigation?
Careful investigation of a subject, of whatever
order of science, morals, or religion, is always
attended with more sun-shine than datftTOBs. *
On matters of religion I have met with many
persons who are totally averse to testjpg- the
opinions which they have formed, from a> fear
that they will be led to abandon them, or that
they may become unstable in their faith. Bat
let such a beclouding, paralyzing idea be excluded
from the mind, instantly on its first appearance.
If we ore right in oar views of subject,
by a more thorough and frequent examination
of it, we shall be elevated and strengthened
therein. Troth will appear more beft&tiful,
and afford more bappines?as the aim- of
reason rises with an increasing power to Its
meridian glory. Bat on the other band, should
investigation nrodnce temDorarv instability.
fear not, far it is far more preferable at any
time to be unsettled in the belief of doctrines,
than to be immoveable bolted down ?
wrong.?Star in the West,

Many presses in the country appear to have
no8t extraordinary notions of the powers of the
President of the United States. They ssenr
;o think that he is supreme, add that even If a
meeting ot tree citizens snouia Happen id malemble
together to consult for the common
jood, he has a |>erfect right to order otftrthe
innv and navy to disperse them. Snob is the
'idiculous ptory now going the rounds in. the
papers, that Mr. Fillmore had direeted an aimed
"oree to cruise about Charleston, for .thenar3030
of watching the movements oftbe eeceders
n South Carolina. The President baa a
much better sense of bis authority under
;he Constitution than this. Sach is Ws weak
iesa that he admitted to Congress he was not
endowed with sufficient powers to sopprtgsa
legro mob in Boston, and be requested it might
je increased. The idea then that he can by
lis mere fiiat order out the forces of the United
States, to put down the movements of the free
people of a sovereign State in the confederacy,
s supremely absurd.?Norf. Argus.
Submission Argument.?We take the following
extract from an article in the Southern
Patriot, a submission paper in South Carolina"We
said too, that the largest slaveholders
in our country had not been the mostpromioent
in this agitation. It looks bad to see a
little fellow who does not own a slave,making
such a fuss about not being allowed by tho
Federal Government, to carry his negroes to
California! and wishing to destroy the government.
and involve the country in revolutioa and.
war, because the right had been denied him by
the people of California themselves."
A very fair specimen of the arguments nsed
by submissionist generally. It a man is poor, if
he does not own fifty or one hundred negroes,
he has no rght to think, no right to couqiiain;
and if he does manifest a disposition to resent
aggression, his poverty is urged against him,
and ho made a subjcot of ridicule. South Carolina
is not the only place where suafcargu*
monts are used; for it strikes us that we have
beard them urged in this part of the political
vineyard. It is time for the people, the sturdy
yeomanry of the country to look to this, and
rebuke at the ballot box, such abominable anoyance
on the part of men who would have them
bow their neck in humble submission to Northjrn
outrage and oppression.
