"A Touch of Katnro M^kes the Whole World tisC * On board the steamer Ocean, between Cleveland aad l)elrptt? a circ)irost?ucd occurred not long ago, which is pleasantly told by a correspondent of -the Cleveland Otrald: A young girl, apparently about 11 years of age, waa seated upon a pile of cheese boxes, with Iter two little brother*, aged 11 and IS years.

Having our sympathies aroused, wo hastily ran around among the passengers, told the 6torv, and took up a sollection to procure a state-room for the young couple. To the credit of our ladv passengers, they were the most liUxral in their donations; and in less than ten minutes we had collected $14.02.

Again (lie ol.l clock on the stairs strikes the hour of midnight; and again its solemn echoes revibrate through the old ball. A carriage drives up?there are subdued sounds of welcome, and compassion, and love ; but above all are beard, distinct in their low choking tone, the words, "Oh 1 mother! mother P' And they lay Iter where she can hear the ticking of the old clock. She is so weak that she suffers the tears to frickle down her emaciated cheeks without an effort to wipe thein away.? And the clock ticks on, nud the horns fiass; it is night agaiu, Iter pale face ooks paler still in the clear cold ravs - ? V t of the full moon. Suddenly a cloud obscures the light, a shudder passes over her, and, turning to the loving watcher by her bedside, she exclaim* in that same low choking tone, " Oh, mother, motherI" There i* silence in the tick chamber, for Ellen bleep*. Suddenly her eye* open, the look of anguish has left her features and *ho whisper*, " I have <oen liim?I am going to hsra."

And^EJIen stand* at the door. 'As she passed it, the old clock on the stairs struck twelve ; the echo has died awnv, hnt its pendulum is swinging backwards and forwards with its dull, monotonous tick,, tick, seeming every moment to grow louder nnd more solemn. Ellen >hudders; she is thinking how, since her hand had been large enough, her mother has never suffered ar.y other to wind that clock, and how often she has gazed on its curious old face with wonder. Who will wind it up to night! and, in a tone of hitter anguish, she exclaims: "Oh! mother, mother P*? Hut the door is op^n, and Stephen is there. They little think how often in the dead of night, in trial, sorrow, and even privation, will that crv go up from her heart, though it passeth not her lip*. " Oh, mother, mother I*1 and the bunds which had ro often given It the power of continuing its vibrations, which had- seemed so strong,'so. full of life, were onld, and stiff, and powerless ; the heart that had beat as regularly as its heavy pendulum, was still and nerveless, but the hands of tho old clock moved round and round ! The measurer! pulselike licking ceased not; its strength and power are still unabated; but the little fingers that once were strong entmgh to wind ifs heavy chain, now he withering and mouldering in the village churchyard. Gentleman Swearer*. It is not pleasaut to admit that the world is getting worse iustend of better, or that any reprehensible habit is becoming more prevalent and common.? Especially in a Chris ian land, and under the influence of the pnrer religion of which Americans aio somewhat inclined to boast, one might look for a higher style of morals and a more uniform outward regard for sacred things. Hut the world's standard is lower than it used to be when men were less enlightened. The catalogues of mortal sins and of renial offences have changed their proportions as we have grown in wisdom. So long as we desire to retain a respect able social position, we are called upon to abstain from murder, except it be dune according to the code; and theft and lying are acknowledged to be offences against society. The decalogue has dwindled down to these narrow limits, and in the place of the comprehensive law that applied to all relations and circumstances of life, public opinion lias established anolhei code, i stringent enough, may be, but which only effects to regulate actions that have no moral quality whatever. To discuss the subject of profane sweating, even upon this low ground, it would l>e difficult to show how the practice is profitable to the swearer^ If it is important that an excited individual should get off extra ateain by the agency of > such safety valve", why would not some more innocent expletive answer as well as an oath ? Or if nothing else will do in tlie moment of strong excitement, how does if pay to toss al>out (he Name that is above all other names in ordinary conversation?to plav with the roval titles of the King of Kings as 1 though He were some Idol divinity !? ' If there is profit in the practice, we hare 1 never been able to find it out. There are grent numbers of men in the worl I who are weak enough to abhor profanity and to shun the society of the chivalrous gentlemen who cannot utter a sentence without one or more blasphemies in it. If the influence of ' these squeamish individuals should ever hapi>en to be necessary to tho habitual swearer, he is tolerably certain to go without iu If the good opinion of the moralist has any value, it is great folly to throw it away for the sake of a mo mcntary gratification. Very j-oung men swear because they dee-ire to look manly and important, and in otrr day the quantity and quality of the blasphemies are generally In inverse proportion to the age of the swearer. There is somo show at reason about this, but the matured man must find a better excuse. We wear beards now-a days, and the hirsute adornments thnt Dame Nature furuislus better prove our manhood than any quantity of flippant appeals to the Doity can do. Tho time was when one of the most infallible marks by which the gentleman was disguised from tho blackguard, was the total avoidance of profane expressions on tho part of the former.? VV? know that swearing was a fashionable vice with some of our ancestors.? The court of the First Charles was a vast manufactory of blasphemies, and the gallant cavaliers of that day swore bv exact rule. Hut tlio tremendous fulininations which they Inul invented in inoie peaceful times, were of very little use at Marston Moore and'Naseby.? And the descendants of the men who were victors in those battles settled in America and brought with them h stricter code of morals, and the swearer was tabooed njH>n principle. Whatever may be said about tbese rare old worthies, they were certainly men of purer livca than their degenerate successors are apt to believe, and the power of their example was felt tlirouuh one or two generations. A poor Tetlow was expected to call down curses upon his own head, ami ha was an outcast because be swore, but tio gentleman was guilty of a practice that was considered utterly degrading. If there is no God of the Universe, it is great nonsense to swear by lliin, and to lug in Hi* name to strengthen an argument or to polish n sentence.? And if theie is?one holy and supreme, 'noting the fall of a sparrow, and heeding rti? lightest words of man?some l*t(cr foot-ball shotild be found than Ui* reverend name.

Beautiful Eattract. StMH.li O man I upon lire Wll'ttp? in tins stillness of tho evening hour? and gaze, not with joyotfa, but with contented eve*, upon the lasaoliful world aronnd thee! See where tire mist*, soft and dim, rise over the green meadows, through which the rivulet ; steals its way I See where, broadest and stillest, the wave expand* to theYull smile of the setting snn, and tire.willow that trembles on the breeze, and the oak that stands firm in tho storm, are reflected hack, peaceful both, from the clean glass of the tides. See, where hegrit by the gold of the harvest, ami , backed l?y the pomp of a thousand groves?the roofs of the town, bask, noiseless, in 1 lie calm glow of the sky. Not a sound from those abodes float in t* e di-cord to thine ear?only from tho churoh tower, soaring high above the rest, perhaps faintly heard through the stillness, swells tho note of the holy hell. Along the mead, low skims the swallow ?vmi uiv ?nvc, mo suver circiei, breaking into spray, ?how? the sport of the fish. See the earth, how serene, though all eloquent of activity anil life ! See the heavens, how benign, though dark clouds, hy yon mountain, blend the purple with the gold 1 O.ize contented, for good is around thee?not joyous, for evil is the shadow of good ! Let thv soul pierce through the veil'of the senses, r.nd thy sight plunge deeper thau the light which gives delight to thine eye. Below the glasg of that river, the pike dart* on liis prey ; the circle in the wave, the soft plnco among the reeds, are but signs of destroyer and victim. In the ivy round the oak bv the margin, the owl hungers for the night, which shall give its beak and itR talons food for its young ; and the sprnv of the willow trexbles with the wing of the red breast, whose blight eye sees the worm on the soil. Canst thou count, too, O man ! all the cares?all the sins ?that those noiseless roof tops conceal ? With every curl of that smoke to the sky a human thought sours as dark, as human hope melts as hileflv. Ami the bell from the church tower, that to thy ear gives but music, perhaps knells for the dead. The swallow but chafes the moth, and the cloud that deepens the glory of the heavens, and the sweet shadows ou earth, nurse but. the thunder that shall rend the grove, and the storm that shall devastate the harvests. Not with fear, not with doubt, recognize, O mortal, the presence of evil in lho world. Ilush thy heart in the humbleness of awe, that its mirror may reflect as serenely the shadows as the light. Vnhily, for its moral, dost thou gnzo on the landscape, if thy scuf put no check on the dull delight*of the senses. Two wings only raise thee to the summit of the truth?where the cherub shnll comfort the sorrow, where the seraph shall enlighten the joy. Bark as ebon, spreads the one wing, white as snow gleams the other? mournful as thy reason when it descends into the deep?exulting as thv faith when it spring* t* thy day star. [JBulver.

This Is the Read to Hell. > This terribly suggestive expression was used the other day by one of the prisoners now under sentence of d?*ath in our oobnty jail.

His widowed mother liven there still, and some of his sitters. The visitor asked him if his mother knows of iiis situation, lie replied lhal she does, and he had received a letter from her bTit a few days previously. Immediately upon his allusion to his mother, his mind seemed to wander back to the scenes of his youth, and the home of his early affections, and his face gave evidence of an intense and indescribable ang.iish of beart, so painful and terrible, that he wns pitiable to look upon, lie burst into tears, and addressing his visitor, i " v % - who was a laity. he exclaimed : " Oh, Mrs. , little did I think, i when I saw you in Ohio, that I would ever come to the dishonorable death I am doomed to die, and break the heart of mv poor old mother, and disgrace all my relations.
