SELECTED I'OKTRY. Good Heart and Willing Hand. I BY CUARLKS MACHAT. ' III storms or shine, two friends of mine , Go forth to work or play, f And when they visit poor men's homes, ) They bless them by the way, Tis willing hand ! 'tis cheerful heart! The two beat friends I knew, Around the hearth come joy and juirth Where'er their faces glow. flight! Come shine?'tis bright! come dark?'lis 1 Come cold?'lis warm ere long ! So heavily fall the hammer stroke! i Morrily sound the 6ong ! Who falls may stand, if good right hand Is first, not second best . Who weeps may sing if kindly heart Has lodging in his breast. The humblest board has dainties poured, When they sit down to dino; The crust they eat is honey sweet, The water good as wine. They till the purse with honest gold, They lead no creature wrong; So heavily fall the hammer stroke 1 Merrily sound the song ! Without those twain, tho poor complain Of evils hard to bear, < Hut with them poverty grows rich, < And finds a loaf to spare ! Ji Their looks are fire?their words inspire? I Their deeds give courage high ; i About their knees the children run, ( Or climb, they know not why. Who sails, or rides, or walks with them, Ne'er finds the journey long? So heavily full the hammer stroke! Merrily sound the song ! MISCELLANEOUS. | Make Your Own Position. If the world estimated men accord- , ing to the real value of services they < render it, the farmer would certainly , stand high in its estimation; for he \ feeds all and clothes all, so far as the j raw material conduces to these results; | and the mechanic would stand equal- , lv as hiffh : since he nnt nnli- nnnef.. 0 , -' V wuguiivw , tho farmer's implements, but takes ] the raw materials and converts them t into the forms demanded for use. thoughtful mail can wear a coat, or . cut from a lout, or sleep on a coin for- j tddo bed, without realizing his indebt- . edncss to both the fanner, and the i mechanic. < But the world does not so estimate men. We may say it ought; but that , does not mend the matter; it will not. . W e may lecture the world as long as L we please ; may tell the rich man not j to despise those who have created the ; very wealth which gives him consc- t qucnee; may say to the wife of the , prosperous merchant, do not look above i, your cousins in the country; it was , the farmer, who grew the wool for your j splendid delaines ; the mechanic gave i | to it its beautiful form and colors; for ] whatever of comfort and elegance j there is in your home and about your t person you are indebted to the indns- . trial classes. But the world is a stiff- ; necked world ; it will have its way?it >, will not heed our lectures. )., How then are the workers?those! t who procure for us all the necessities f and all the luxuries of life?to gain that consideration, standing and influ-j cnce, which they really deserve??! That the world will never concede it 11 t? them on the ground of usefulness is !< quite certain. But there are other j rules by which it judges. lis judg-j/ mentis in the compound ratio of iu-M telligence, moral worth, and a decent; conformity with established usages.? .1 Let a man be intelligent, able to con- I verse well on all topics ofgeneral inter* J i est, and thoroughly read upon matters u partaking to his own employment ; letji him manifestaspintatoneeliberahgen- j i crous, just, willing to do as hewouhl be 1 i done hy; and let him conform to all the ; i reasonable demands of society, as re-j 1 gards style of living, dress, address, ;c manners, iVrc., and the world will esteem ' i h'tn, be bis employment what it may. j* If ho is high in these respects, it will ,i have to look np to see him, for it can- ;f not seo him without looking where he ; is. J>ut if ho is ignorant, shabbily t dressed, immoral, at war with the best t instincts of mankind, where else can it ,i see him but to look down ? The world j < is a pretty good judge after all. L, j* looks at men where they are, up,j< down, or on a level, as the case inavU be. _ " j I That farmers have not received the < consideration fairly due to then, Is '? conceded, There have been in our f country causes for this, which space i does not permit us to detail, but which i have now ceased to operate. Hero- ? after the farmer will be looked at just where he puts himself. There is noth- ? ing in the nature of employment to i depress him, but on the other hand thero is much to elevate. He. if i?? < will, can he as intelligent as the gene-!; rality of mankind. He can cultivate i moral worth as successfully as anyotli- i er. Silk stockings, kid gloves, and other knick-knaeks, he need not care for; hut a decent chastened conformity to I the requirements of the age and the' place in which he lives, he can and he should attain. To farmers who com-' plain that their class is looked down upon, we would say, educate yourj1 children, read yourselves up to the . i !,_ .. .. . - - L L LL . . times, cultivate the moral and social virtues, and the world will have tc look up to you in spite of its. perversi :v, for it cannot see you without.? then, and not till then, you will com nand respect for yourself, and you vill have done your full part towards lecnrinp respect for your employ nont. The world sees us about as wc ire. "Died Yesterday!" Every day is written this little sen tonce?" Died yesterday," so and eo Every day a flower is plucked froit some 6nnny homo ; a breach made ir BOine happy circle; a jewel stolen fron some treasury of love. Each da) from the summer fields of life, some harvester disappears?yea, every hour some sentinel tails from his post, and is thrown from the ramparts of tiuic into the surging waters of eternity.? Even as we write, the funeral of one who " died yesterday" winds like o winter shadow along the street. " Died yesterday." Who died ?? Perhaps it was a gentle babe, sinless as an angel, pure as the zephyr's hymn ?one whoso laugh was as the gush ol summer rills loitering in the bower of roses?whose little life was a perpetual litany, a May-time crowned with the passion of flowers that never fade. Or, mayhap it was a youth, hopeful and generous?whose path was nem mcd by flowers, with not a 6crpen! lurking underneath?one whose soul panted for communion with the greal and good, and reached forth witli earnest struggle for the guerdon in the distance. But that heart is still now, lio " Died yesterday." "Died yesterday." A young girl, pure as the orange flowers that clasped her forehead, was stricken down as she stood at the altar; and from the Aim aisles of the temple, she was borne to the " garden of slutuberers." A tall, browned man. girt with the halo of victory, and at the day's close, under hU jwii vine and fig tree, fell to du6t, even as the anthem trembled upon his ips ; and he, too, was laid " where the udo forefathers of the hamlet sleep." :\n angel patriarch, bowed with age md cares, even as he looked out upon :he distant hills tor the coining of the ingcl host, sank into a dreamless slumber ; and on his door-post was written, Died yesterday." "J tied yesterday.7' Daily, men, tvomen ami children are passing awav ; nid hourly, in some graveyard, the soil is upon the dead. As often n the morn, we find some flower that flushed sweetly, in the sunset has withjred up forever, so, daily, when we ise from the bivouac to stand against >ur posts, we miss some brother soldier, a-hose cheery cry in the sieges and struggles of the past has been as lire rum Heaven upon our hearts.

" Stick , to Him, Jimmy 1"?Two rot hers from the Kmerald Isle, a few ears since, purchased a piece of land, ot far from tho Kennebec, and went j work to clear it up. After cutting own tho large growth aud burning ver the underbrush, they proceeded o contrive a plan to get the fallen runks together in a pile, for the purpose of burning also. The land lay ipon a side-hill, and they concluded hat if they could roll a large log which ny near the summit, and place it bout half way down, they might pile ho rest against it, and thus 6ecurc the bject. But how were they to prevent t, when once under way, from rolling o the bottom and thus defeating their dan ?
