A GALLOWS SOKKK.
It was n fait an<l lovely morn
Ae ovor dawned on land or sea ;
The wind wub playing with the loavc?,
And 1 felt light and free ;
Arrd oa I sped along ray way,
While here and thoro I run,
i heard ft fellow-man thua any:? '
* Christ have merey on my aoult?
My fellow-man hue nonol "
l eioopea Donenin a nnwuiorn iroo,
And marked the passers by ;
And eiletico htuig on cvory lip,
Save him wondemned to die;
And ua I sat bcntmlh its shade
That seemed to mock tho biiii,
I heard the pinioned wretch exclaim:?
" Chri6t hnve inerey on my sonl I
My follow-mon has none!"
f went my way nmid the throng?
The old and young were there;
Even children too I did espy,
"Whose brows woro knit with care;
And as I lint the prisoner"* words,
He knelt and thus lie^nii: ?
"Christ hnve mercy on my soul! ?
Aly fellow-man has none!"
The gallows on his vinion broke!?
He ahnddered, heaved a nigh ;
With faltering voice ho uttered thus:?
" I um too young to <iic 1"
And up to Heaven 1?.-humbly epoko:?
I nn> 11 wretch undone!
Olirint. Imve merey on my sotil!?
My fellow-man has none I"
Tbo fiitnl hour came at last- ?
His lump wiie growing <lnn ;
No mourner gathered there to shod
One burning tear for him.
The ninn of God knelt not iu prayer ?
No 1 leaven by h'in was won.
Christ have mercy on his soul! ?

*H? WONDERS AND THE TRIALS OF SCIENCE.
'J ho Albany eom>p'Mutant of the New
York Courier writes thus: i
It is surprising what sacrifices men will ;
make on the pursuit of scientific work. I
found the rooms of the Stale Taxidermist, i
Mr. Iliiri-I., of the most interesting in the i
H:ato Hall. Here, in the midst of the most
deadly poisons, his labors are continued. It <
is a woik which admits of no cessation i
when it is commenced. The preservation of c
tho specimen, to be well ?1?>n?*, must be immediate.
It is a light between decay and
tho mineral, most aetive for death?most j
powerful against tho grave. When Mr. j
Hurst took the great moose, which is the I
pride of-the collection, he remained in his <
room for twenty one days, never Icavintr it <
for food or ftlocp, refreshing his strength
only l>v the brief interval <?f a parenthetical
luncheon or nap. The forest monarch
was lo be continued in all the form of life,
and the hand of Scicncc was to win that
re6?!t by daring the use of the power which
is of such tenfold potcr.cv when not under
gu:ird.
The Taxidermist's arts as it is illustrated
ia the skill of Mr. Hurst, has accomplished
that which tho priests and cunning men of
Ancient Egypt never wrought. IIo has
proved thnt the. very body of the dead may
be k.'pt in all tho semblance of life?no
shrivelled, blackened, frightful mummy, but
the form, the rounded outline, the position
in which the soul moved when man was
among his kind, are made enduring by this
Hit. It is a triumph of science dearly
bought by tho Hilist. IIo submits to a
dreadful content between the Hcting arsenic

the Appearaueo of health, (i.he mask
these substances lewl t"> friends,) it is often t
with difficulty that he can proceed to his
labor. The duties of the State Taxidermist f
will not find zealous competition. He takes t
his honor by a conflict in which none will r
seek to bo at his side.
Mr. Hurst has just finished two deer's {

Sherman & Co. They arc supeib. The

it as if it were a cherished relic of the time .

only seienee could have persuaded mortal
man to undertake.
Poor Soil.?An inquisitive Yankee was
Manning at a tavern door, it) tho lower purt
of Jersey, watching a funeral pass by. At
tho head of it was a large manure cart,
moving along very slowly, and making no
offer to turn out for the procession. The
Yankee was astonished at this want of attention
on the part of the driver of said
cart, and turning to a Philndelphinn, who
wft? standing by, ho remarked :
" I guess tho folks aint very perlite abeout
here; tu hum, where I lire, they always
tnrn out for a funeral."

marked tho Philadelphian, gravely. j

A PARABLE FOB BUSINESS MEN.
There was oijco upon a time h nian wlio
kept a storo, and Bold goods wholesale and
retail.
And lie bocanio melancholy, becauso customers
were uliy and times bad.
And ho said : "Lo 1 I am ruined, and the
sonKaliou 16 disagreeable.
And my ruin is tho more painful to beari
because it is slow in progress, even as water 1
doth gradually hocome hotter iti lite pot
wheroin the lobster boileth, until thecrusta- 1
ceous shri eke til out his soul in anguish. '
Ijo ! it is belter to b? ruined quickly than '
to ondure this f.low torture. '
I will give my money away to tho poor 1
man?evou to the poorest?which is lie who (
printclh newspapers, un<l 1 will shut up my <
sbop and wrap myself in tho sack cloth of '
desolation, and pass my days in tho purlieus '
of broken banks, cursing the hardness of tho 1
times and rending my garments. '
And the bowlings of Homo shall bo as 1
tin: dulcet sounds of dulcimers, and they 1
who blow llutus and instruments of music, '
compared to the din I will make in the cars '
of tho wicked?even in the ears of the bank c
directors." v
And even as lie said, so bo did ; for bo v
was not like oilier men's sons who arc foul- T
ish and know it not, and they say they will 1
do so and so, performing that which is con- "
trary. . * I'
For I bo sons of men arc fickle, and lie 1'
that i-> born of woman doth spite his face '
by diminishing the length of the nose c
thereof. o
And lo! tho printer?even bo who did '
publish newspapers?was made glad by the M
bounty of him who sold wholesale and re. !l
tail ; and lie di<l sound his praises and print &
ihem moreover, and he did blow the I ruin- M
pot of fame respecting that man's dealings,
from tlie rising of tlio sun even to the go- 11
iug down of the same. A
And he?even tlie printer of the papers si
?did magnify and enlarge upon tlie stock w
->f goods wliieli the trader had in his store, s'
md did publish the variety and the cxcel- g
lence, and the newness, and the beauty, and h
th'- cheapness,thereof, till the people?yea! vv
ill of them, far :inJ ne.ar, were amazed. s'
And they said lo! ibis man hath gath- '?

Jizo is bolter than ihe bank notes of those g
who promise to pay and therein lie, even b
tanks of deposit which beguile U3 of our g
nonov, and swindle us like sin. -s3
But that trailer was still sad, and he said, v
he money that these people bring me fur a
lie goods in my store will I still give to the 11
irintor, and I will ruin myself; I will do n
hat which no man hath yet done in my ?
,imc or before me. I will make the printer- 11
nan, whom men scorn for his poverty, rich, Sl
ind lie shall be clad in finu linen, and shall 111
rejoice in new boots. a
And tlie son? of men shall sock him in P'
lie market place, and tlie shcrill' shall .slum S1

And ho shall flash the dollars in the eyes s:

Yea, even shall he light his pipe with

For I will ruin myself, and who ndver?

animal parasites there were three or four
species, and of tho vegetable one or two. c,
In fact, the only persons whoso mouths t,,

various agents was also noticed. Tobacco cc

in the least. The same was true of the ni

from tho " Maine Law," which, ho contended,
should be applied to all other alcoholic

on the ground of its extraordinary and

A school lonelier relates iho following
amusing incident : One day I saw a little
fellow with his arms around a little witch
of a girl, endeavoring, if I interpreted the
manifestation right, to kiss her.
" Tommy," said I, "what are you doing
there ?"
" Nothing, sir," "Yes," said the bright
eyed little witch ; "he walh try in* to kith
mc, that ho walli, thii," and eyed him
keenly,
"Why, Lucy, what prompted him to act
so ungentle-manly right here in sehooll V
I asked,-anticipating some fun.
"O ho hitched up here, and lie wanted i
mc to kith him, and I told him that I I

you would?" I asked in a pleasant manner.
"O," slu! replied, with an air vaivctte. \

Here the whole school, which had been .

laugh, while our little hero and heroine
blushed deeply.
