Forget thee ! Ask thc violent blue,
In yonder flowery bed,
If it forgets the pearly dew
That trembles cn its head.
Forget thee -' Ask the vesper star
That gilds the evening skies,
If, in thc blazing amplitude,
It e'er forgets to rise.
Forget thee ! Ask the bird of flight,
With rich and glossy wing,
If it forgets thc moorland green
Of sweet and early spring.
Forget thee! Ask the blushing roso
That opes its petals fair,
If it forget* the rain that throws .
Its fragrant moisture there.
Forget thee ! Ask the blighted btarf,
3ercft of every friend,
If it forgets thc holy spot
Where weeping willows bend.
Forget thee! Ask thc mother now,
With sad and tearful eyes,
If she forgets her cherub's brow,
So guileless in tho ikies.
Forget thee ! Ask thc harping throng
That lill the courts on high,
If they forget to sing their song
Of triumph tb rough thc sky.
Forget thee! Ask rho child of light,
Wreathed with undying flowers,
If he forgets the wreathlet bright,
Culled from celestial bowers.
Forget thee ! I can ne'er forget
A face se sweet as thine ;
Thine image is forever set
Within this heart of mine;
And when 'neath other skies I be,
And brave the ocean's foam,
Florence, my tbnnghts will turn to thec
To thee and thy bright home.
!fhe Switch-Tender's Story, a
It ran thus: "it's nigh unto eleven ,;
ears, sir, .since I atnie un this road.- n
'or the Grs: titree years I was brakes- e
tao, arni if I had stuck toit I might \cf
ave become a conduct.>r in this time- j ":
ho knows. My character was good and j1
ve always becu a steady man, but you :i
?c it wasn't to be. My old woman al? j*'
ays objected tome running on the I
fi
ain, it kept me so much away from!11
jome, not to speak of the danger, andi''
,t the end o? thc third year, when our I'"'
ittle boy was bum, she begged 60 hard j "
o give it up tha: I consented, aud tho j f
lotupatiy put me in this pluec where j11
'vc been ever since. It's not hard, I've j *r
>nly got to tend on? switch and do odd j
obs about the depot, the pay is just the jtl
ame as what 1 gut Indore, only there's j "
rjo chance lor promotion ; but then I'm :"
always at home, which makes it up. I '
live only a little ways across the bri J f'
in the outskirts rf thc town, yonder, on ? D
thc other side nf thc river-a small j S
white house with an elm tree in the v
yard-you can sec it from thc oilier end j "
of thc switch. jt(
'?So yon think the river is very brau- : w
tiful at this season oi the year? Weil,
sir, ? dare say it is. I thought so once 1,1
myself; but I don't take my pleasure ,i:
in looking at it now, nor have I doue j"'
so for many a day Its green banks au J ":
its clear water, with the sunshine spark ::
ling on it, only makes it seem the;w
crueler to mc, as if it laughed over the \f
misery it hed canned to human beings; 11
but my opinions bavn't g;/t anything to w
do with what you come to a-k mc about, T
BO I'll try and get to ?he point at once. -'

that after eatin' my break!'::-: ai, i
smokiu' my pipe, which latter opera!iou a<
I generally gits through with ab9ut?J'
seven o'clock, I started across the bridge, :aI
takin' wi;h me my little boy Willie, who ^?
W3S at this time just risiu' o'five years. ?'
Ile was awfully tickled at the idea ol 01
bein' allowed to go out with me, as his
mother kept him mostly around tho ? Ja
house, havin', like nearly all womon, j cl
great fear of the trains. I don't think, c\
sir, I ever seen a liner morniu'-the PJ
sun weil uigh up bu: not too warm, *!
with a white cloud here and there in thc ?J*
blue sky. thc trees aud grass green and
fresh, and glisteniu' with the dew, aud
underneath us thc river fiowin' bright
and clear, just as you sec it now, sir. j(
? My heart felt light, and havin' nothin' I p
on my miud-I bad just finished, payin'jj,
for my house the week before-I began I
to think ou comparin' my troubles with a<
my blessins' that alter all it would be ! w
t hard to lind a better place than this ?j
same much-abused world wc live in.
"The time-table was a little different ]
then from what it is now. Thc freight t]
i train came down at 7:.'>0 a. m., switched i "
I off, and waite" for thc express to go by, ? tl
which followed in fifteen miuutes later, j ,j
I reached thc switch about ten minutes
ahead of time-I always dn-and sittin' ,
down on the tie, I filled a fresh pipe aud \ D
smoked away, while little Willie gather-j "
cd pebbles, and thr^iug "em in the wa? w
ter, laughed and slitted at thc splash- j,
es they made.
"Finally ^rowin' bolder he ventured ' <
to thc river's edge, and pluckio' one of! "
thc lillies that grew there in abundance, i,,
he came iu great glee and laid it at my "
feet. I put the flower carefully in my 1 v
pocket so as not to bruise it. intending L.
to show it to his mother. He lisped out
that pretty blue oucs grew further down,
.od begged to go and get one of them ; (
butait was almost time for the train, ? e
I rerWcd my permission, and taking him , t
some ten or fifteen yards from thc track, ip
sat him dowB at the foot of a tree-the e
maple yonder-and nade him remain r.
there till I called. J
"The time for the train came and
passed, and still no signs of it. I grew j :
nervous and did not notice my boy. ! s
Minute af?er minute*passed away, and f
* at last when I began to bc certain that c
some accident had occured it hove in ta
sight just five minutes before the ex- j
press was due, whidi I knew could not j I
be more than two miles behind. I saw c
Rt once the cause of the delay j the train i
was r,nusu8#ly long and heavy, and the i
engine number forty-two, which the i
firemen had christened "Old Ricketty/' t
Wu the worst on the road. The switch I
Wa? all ready, but the. train moved so t
?lowly that the Jut car had hardly i
left the main track, when I heard the i
whistle-of-the; express, and the next i
Bornent she rounded the bend at full
.peed. I knew ti?nt I didn't have any
too mach time to get thu switch in po-' a
sitioo, and went at my work with a will,
when suddenly I heard a child's scream
and turning round I SEW little Willie
struggling in the water. For an instant
the sight of my child's danger overpow?
ered every other consideration, and I
sprang for thc river but befor? I got j
half tho distance the hoarse whistle of,
the approaching train rang in my ear
like a trumpet, and the thought of my
luty, and the hundreds of lives that
rvould be sacrificed if I deserted my post, '
yent through my brain like a flush of
ightning, while all the time there was
i feeling about my heart I can't tell in
;o marjy words-I only knew it was
vorse than death-beseeching me to
lave my boy.
"The whole thing couldn't have last
id more than two seconds, and how the
me feeling got thc better ot the other I
lever knew. I have no recollection of
aro ing back, but the nexr thing I re
acmber I was at the switch working
way like mad. I never had such
trength. I felt that I could have
trenched up the solid iron rails in my
go ny, and bent thom like straw; and I
lid not seem ty see anything about, mc
[istinctly, millier rails nor ties-but
lituly and vaguely, as if in a dream, or (
t a great distance. What I did secas
i lain ly as I do now, although it was be
l i rid tne, was thc clear and beautiful
iver fl.?wing on in the morning sun,
nd in thc midst of it little Willie
rca k ly struggling for help, while the
nicht, cruel waves smote him io the
ace and laughed. T had no car for the
earing rrain, but all 1 heard-orseem
d to, for I can't rightly say-were his
ries to his father for help, growing
tinter and fainter; and thea thc hor
ible bubbling sound, as he sank finally, (
ud his last breath lound its way to the
urface.
,fAt length the switch was in posi?
on, and aithoagh it's a short job at
cst, and I must have ace ?uiplishcd it
i that liuic with a quickness I can
ever again equal, yet it seemed long
r than the longest summer's day; but
: was done, and I rushed to the river
nd gazed eagerly around for some s*go
tat might tell me where to plunge in
j rescue my child; bat there was
othing, nothing but thc sunlight that
listened brightly on the little wavelets
lat smiled mockingly in my face as
?ey hurried onward. 1 don't remeiu
er anything further. There was a
n at choking in my throat, a huge
?ight o? lead seemed to fall on my
rain, and all was black. When I came
) my senes it was three weeks after
ard, with my old wom:m-God bless
er-sitting along side of me, holdin'
ry hand in hers. The doctor said I had
lade a close miss of it and at first I felt
>rry that I had lived at all ; but that
idn't last long, for 1 knew there was
nuther ono-she who sat beside me
ho had suffered more than I had and
ood it nolly, so I tried to get better
i ordern? console her. It was two
eeks moro before I got out of b-d, and j c
lite two months before 1 was able to

ian again.

til strange as ii may appear. I didn't
el like working anywhere save in the
d place ; 1 seemed to ;>e closer to my
>v there. I found thc lily he had
ithcrcd, just as I had placed it in my
ickct pocket, and gave it to his moth"?

' IP 1 ONLY II .ID CAPITAL.
"If I only had captai" wc heard a
3ung man say a few days ago as he
uffed .-?.way at a ten-cent cigar, "I would
o some thing "
'.If ? only had capital/' said another
> he walked away tr< :u a dram shop,
here ho had just paid t^n cents for a
riuk, ' I would go into business."
Thc same remark might have been
card from the young man loafing on
ie corner. Young nan with the ci?
ar, you are smoking away your capi
tl. You from the dram-shop are
rinking yturs and destroying your
ody at the same time-and you on the
treet cornorare wa.-ting yours in idle
ess and forming tad habits. Dimes
jake dollars. Time is money. Dou't
ait for a fortune to begin with. If you
ad ten thousand dollars a year and
pent it all, you would be poor still.
?ur men with power and influence did
ot start with fortunes. You, too, can
lake your mark if you will. But you
aust stop speuding your money for
rhat you dont nee l, and squandering
our time in idleness.
8rtg.lt is very evident that Mr. Horace
irceiey's cup of sweets, in his Southern
xcur>ion, is not entirely free from a cer
ain dash of bitters, as the following
taiuful narrative will bear witoess. We
xtract from tho Memphis ApyaTt x*
?ort of the philosopher's reception at
?owling Green, Ky.,
"Among the multitude raj a fat old
ountry dame, of Greeley's age-say
ixty summers. She asked anxiously
br Horace. He and my father and my
dd man were ail Vs Whigs together,
ind I must see him."'
Ur. Greeley was pointed out. The
leavy brigand io petticoats made a,
:harge and Horace west down. He
ras hugged sud kissed, and the old bat
ra? smashed, sind the greasy old coat
veli sanded, and Horace almost crashed
o death. The crowd enjoyed- the col?
isi?n no little, and we only fear that j
he story wiH go North that Creely hu
>ecD Ku Kloxed by a Kentucky
.nd Graut may be induced to
nartial Lw about it."

- On love matters and affairs which
concern the sex generally the country?

But expressions like the following show
that he has feelings which may not

To co ort a gal
And then not git her."

Ay er's Sarsap^ ;la,
ron PinBJLTYi3ic? THE BLOOB,
The reputation thia ex?
relient medicine enjoys,
is derived from its eurea,
many of which an truly
marvellous. Inveterate
coses of Scrofulous dis?
ease, where the system
seemed saturated with
corruption, have been
puriilcd an<l cored by it,
Scrofulous a ?Tee lions and
*. disorder8,which were ag.
gravatcd by thc scrofu?
lous contamination until
they were painfully afflicting, have been radically
aired in such great numbers in almost every sec?
tion nf thc country, that thc public scarcely need
tc l,c informed of ll? virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison is one of thc most destino
Uve enemies of our race. Often, thia unseen and
unfelt tenant of tho organism undermines the con?
stitution, ?nil invite* t?c attack of enfeebling or fa?
tal diseases, without exciting A suspicion of its
Sresencc. Afrain. it seems to breed infection
iroughont the hody.and then, on some favorable
occasion, rapid ly develop into one or other of its
hideous formt), either on thc surface or afton?; the
vital.-. Ia the latter, tubercles may bo soddenly
deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors formed
in Hie liver, or lt shows its presence by eruptions
jn the .?kin, or foul ulcerations on some part of
Ute body. Hence thc occasional use of a bottle
of this Sarsaparilla is advisable, even when no
active symptoms of disease appear. Persons af?
flicted with the following complaints generally
f;n<l immediate relief, and, at length, co rc, by the
n^c of thia SARS AP Al: I LL A: St. Antho?
ny's Tire. Roue or Erysipelas, TetUr, Salt
J:heit m, Seald Tirad, Ittnatrorm, Sore Eyes,
Sore Ear*, nu?! other eruptions or visible forma
of Serf futons disease. Also to the more con
rerded fern**, oe Dyspepsia, Drojtsy, Heart
Disease, Fits, Epilejisy, Smrnlgia, and
thc various I'leerous affections ol' tl^e muscu??x
nud nervous systems.
Syphilis or Venereal and JTercurial Dis?
eases are cured by it, though a long time is re?
quired fer subduing these obstinate maladies by
any medicine. But long-continued use of this
medicine will cure the complaint. Lcneorrhaa
or Whiten, Uterine Urernt?on*. and Female
Diseases, are commonly soon relieved end ulti?
mately rured by its purifying and.Invigorating
effect, Minute directions for each case are found
In onr Almanac, supplied {natta- Jthr-umatism
and (lout, when caused by accumulations of ex
traneous matters in the Mood, yield quickly to it,
as alsoJ-irer Complaint*. Torpidity, Conges*
timi or Inflammation of the T.irer, and .Tann
dire, when arising, as they often do, from tho
rankling poisons in thc blood. Thia SA BSA*
y A lil LL A is a great restorer for the strength
and vigor of the system. Those who are Jxtu
guid and Little**, Desjxnuh-nt, .Sleepless,
and troubled with Xcrroun Apprehensions or
fears, or any of the affections symptomatic of
Weak ness, will lind immediate relief and con?
vincing evidence of ita restorative power apon
