Nothing ialost; the drop of dew, Which trembles on the leaf or flower, Is but exhausted to foil anew, ^ In summer's thunder shower, Perchance to shine within the bowf That fronts the sun at foil of day ; Perchance to sparkle in the flow, Of mountains far away. Nothing ia lost; the tiniest seed, By wild birds borne, or breezes blown, ^ Finds something suited to its need, Wherein,'tis sown and grown, The language of some household song, The perfume of some cherished flower, Though gone from outward sense, belong To memory's after hour. "So with our words; or harsh or kind, Utterod they are not ail forgot; They leave their influence on the mind. Pass ou, but perish not! So with our deeds; for good or ill, They have their power scarce understood ; Then let us see our hotter will To make thorn rife with good ! Q-R" "what Constitutes Riches. lTo be rich,' said Mr. Marcy, our worthy Secretary of State requires only a satisfactory condition ofthc mind. Ouc mau may bo rich with one hundred dollars, while another in the possession of millions, may think himself poor ; and the necessities of life are enjoyed bv each, it is evident tho man who is tho best satisfied with his possessions, is the richer." To illustrate this idea, Mr. Marcy related the following anecdote : "While I was Governor of tho State of New York," said he, "I was called upon one morning at my office by a rough specimen of a backwoodsman 1. 1 k. 1 j wiiu scaiKiMi m uuu cominencea con vers at ion bv inquiring'if this was Mr. Marcy V " 1 replied that that was my name. 'Bill Marcy V said lie. 1 nodded assent. 'Used to live in Southport, didn't ye?' I answered in tho informative, and began to feel a little curious to know who my visitor was, and what ho was driving at. ? 'That's what I told 'em,' cried aho 1 m * his hnmtdown on his thigh with tremendous force; 'I told 'em you was the sam^ old Bill Marcy who used to live in ? . Southport but they wouldn't believe it, and I promised the next time I came to Albany to come and see you and find out for sartin. Why, don't you know me, Bill ?' I didn't exactly like to ignore his acquaintance ^together, but for the ! life of me I couldn't recollect ever having seen him before, and so I replied that ho had a familiar countenance, but that I was ndl able to call him by name. 'My name is Jack Smith,' answered the backwoodsman, 'and wo used tojjo tft school together thirty years ago in the little red school house in old Southport. Well, times has changed since then, and you have become a great man and got rich, I suppose 1" I shook my head ana was going to contradict that Impression, when he broke in: "Ob, yea, you are; I know you arc rich; no use denying it. "ion was Controller for?for a long time, and the licit we heard of you, yon was Governor. You must have made a heap of money, ami I am glad of it, glad to sec you getting along so smart. You was always a smart lad at school, and I knew you would come to something.' I thanked him for his good wishes and opinion, but told him that political life did not pay so well as he imagin-j ed. 'I suppose,' said I, fortune has j smiled upon you since you left South port V "Oh, yes,' said he, 'I hain't got nothug to complain of; I must say I've got. along right smart. Yort seo, shortly after you left Southport, our whoW family moved up into Vermont, and put right out into tho woods, and I reckon our family cut down more trees and cleared moro land than any other in the whole State.' 'And so yon have made a good thing of it. IIow much do you consider yourself worth W I asked, feeling a little curions to know what he conaid -ered a fortune, as lie seemed to be so well satisfied with his. 'Well,' he replied, *1 don't know exactly how mucn I am worth, but I think," straightening himself up, 'if all my debts were paid, I should be worth three hundred dollars clean cash."? And lie wad rich; for he was satisfied. * Coui.dn't II^i.p rr.?A brutal teaches* whipped a little boy for pressing the hand or a little girl who sat noxt to him at school, after which he asked the * child, 'why he squeezed the girl's bund ?

Long ere tho ceaseless, ever-rollong tido of the pale faced Che-mo-ke-mun, had swept away from their homes and their hunting-grounds thewar-liketribe of the Miamis, while their numerous camp-fires illumed the hills and valleys of the West, when tho braves of their tribe passed to battle along the warpath, Min-gc-no-ke-aw, (the big man) one of the gallant chiefs of the nation, felt his ire excited at the reputation which a member of his tribe, a half breed, called Francois Godfrey, had obtained for courage and persona! strength. Min-gc-ne-ke-aw claimed to bo tho bravest as well as the strongest man of his people, and would endure no rival, lie chafed like the wild boar when he heard the braves and red beauties cxt )1 tho manly leariug of his competitor, and he resolved to test the conrago and physical power of Frank in single combat. lie gave jio challenge to mortal strife with 'your humble servant* at the bottom, but meeting Frank one dav he accosted him wiUi, 'Are you a bravo man V 'Yes,' was the reply. 'Then meet me hero to-morrow morning at sunrise with your scalping knife in your right hand: we will join our loft hands, and he who kills the other is the best and bravest warrior of the Miamis.' Frank, though a man of dauntless courage and herculean strength, saw no good reason to test either in that wity^ but nothing but blood would satisfy the chief, and Frank replied. Til meet you.* At the Appointed hour the great chief strode along to-the battle ground. lie relied not only on his personal strength, but also on his great dexterity in the use of the seal ping-knife, which he had tried 011 the pale faces at JIarmer St. Clair's defeat, and all along our frontier. His dark oye flashed, as with the doep growl of a tiger, he advanced to anticipated victory.? He brandished his knife? and called on his antagonist to sing his death-song, ere his spirit was dismissed by the great chief to the distant hunting grounds of the dead warriors of their race who had fallen in battle and gone to tho far west, beyond the great rivers. Frank saw that thero was no avoiding tho deadly strife. To rofusc was to be branded as a coward and a squaw. Tho only alternative was victory or sudden death ; so he flourished his keen blade, gave n shrill whoop of defiance, and advanced. They joined their left hands, and there tbey stood, face to lace, like Fitz James and lthoderic Illia? 'fetch iooked to sun, and tky and niain, As what they ne'er might see again.' They mustered all their strength for the deadly thrust, raised their keen knives aloft, but ere they fell, Frank, the grip of whose hand was Ijjce ay iron vice, wrung the left hand of Min gc-ntvkc-aw with such tremendous force as nearly crushed the bones together. The chief, with a yell of anguish, dropped liia knife, and cried out, 'Yoidare a ]>raver and a stronger warriolthan I am ; let us shake hands and boprienda forever.' A a/id lady on being examined before airt agist rate as to her place of legal s< tlement, was asked what reason she 1 d for supposing that her deceased 1 sband's settlement was in the towi Thq old lady said.?"lie was bori find married there, and they burled iim there, and if that isn't settling hiid here, I dont know what is."

"Sakau," said a young man, the other day, "wliy don't you wear your ear-rings J" "because I haven't had wy ears pierced." "I will bore them for you, then." "I thank yon, sir, you have done that enough." A fancy-man bought ft horse of a countryman, giving therefor $40 in cash and his note for a like amount. After the note was drawn, signed and placed in the hand of the seller, the latter re marked, "I s'posc this note is eood." The buyer coolly roplied "Ax them fellers here?they've all got em." At an evening tea-party a proposal was made for a rublnsr at whist, i^ftcr several deals, an, elegant and hand some young lady thus addressed a gentleman who sat near her, "What will yon take for yonr hand ?" Tlie young gentleman modestly replied, his eye at the same time brightly beaming?v "Yours in return."
