The Rising Moon.
? BY W. B. O. PEABODT.
Tlio moon Is up! how cnlm and slow
She wheels above the hill I
The weary wind* forget to blow,
And all the world lies still.
The way-worn travellers with delight,
ller rising brightness see,
Revealing all the paths and plains,
A ? J _!M.
rvuu gnuing every tree.
It glistens where the hurrying stream
Its little rippling heaves ;
It falls upon the forest-shade.
And sparkles on the leaves.
So once in Judah's ovening hills
Tho heavenly lustre spread ;
The Gospel sounded from the blaze,
And shepherds g;izod with dread.
And still tlint light upon the world
Its guiding splendor throws,
Bright in the opening hours of life,
t And brighter at its close.
The wnining moon in time slmll fail
To walk the midnight skies;
But God hath kindled this bright light
"Willi fire that never dies.
The Knickerbocker Magazine.
"Old Knick" for July is a capital number.
We always peruse its pages with pleasure
and profit. The present number is
more than usually interesting, and uiucli
enlarged. To tlio Editor's tabic we sit
down satisfied that before we get up, wc
shall fiud something extremely funny or
pathetic. From the "Table" of the last
number, wo pick tbo following pungent
crumb, which we hand over to our readers
to taste and pass along : Those that detest
puns, or cannot discover them, will please
skip the dialogue :
'My eyes !' said the Potato to the Lemon,
'how bilious you look to-day ! Your skin
is as yellow as saffron. What can be tho
matter ?'
'Lemon. Acidity of stomach?a family
eomplaint of ours.
'Potato. Why don't you take advice ?'
'Lemon. Advice ! You know my poor
dear brother dropped off the other day ;
and without being; allowed to rest on his
toother earth, his body was suatched up
by a member of the Bar, who, instead of
acting legally, dissected him?absolutely
cut him up. 'AH tor tho public good,' said
the rascal, as he squeezed out poor Lern's
last gastric juices. Take advice, quotha!
If he was uot allowed to enter a plea in
Bar, what may I expect frotn Doctors' Commons
V
'Potato. That's true. I only hope poor
Lorn, though he was in liquor at the time,
bad strength enough to give hpn a punch
under the ribs ; he whs a rum customer to
the last, no doubt?but I must say I wish
bis skin had been fuller. Do you attend
the meeting to-night !

I met Running Vino just now with the invitations,
and he hinted that there would
be a squeeze, in which case I should decline,
as they might press ino to furnish

to their aid. But now, to bo serious, my
sweet, sweet Potato, if you should go, let
me advise you not to get yourself into water
: you'll be dished to a certainty if you
do. Onion, the strongest friend you have
on earth, brought tears to my eyes by the
bare recital of what would be the probable
consequences of your attending it. In case

think you do look better in white. Oh
another thing I would say : Keep out ol
Horse-Radish's company ; he will be sure
to get into a scrape, a greater one than In

'Mrs. Tree. Good morning, gentlemen. .
Von have heard, no doubt, that I have lost s

of our extreme admiration for the

nuts and Oaks began to rail at him, and
dive offence, it has entered the head of
Hickory?which is very high just now?to
root mo out, and remove my trembling deposits
from the bank on which I was reared
by the side of Schuylkill. Supplication is
useless. Old Hickory will not bend, though j
wo tell him of our breaking?and advise all
of you, who, like mo, have branches, to cut
and run.
'Lemon. My skin stands a double chance
; 10 uesavea?tar it L cut, I shall surely run.
Hut are you serious ?
'Aspen-Tree. Serious! I tell you the
sooner you cut-stick the better. Hickory
runs wonderfully. I'm off.
'Lemon. Gentlemen, are you ready for
the question ? All in favor of taking our

./v. oplexdid weapon.?Several months |
ago, as our readers will recollect, we noticed |
an application made by Mr. A. Le Mat, of
ill is city, for a patent for an improved re*
volver of his invention. lie has secured his
' patent, and yesterday showed us one of them.
It is beyond all comparison the finest weapt,
on we ever paw. It is a revolver of the nine
chambers, charged with conical expanding
balls, which are fired in the same manner
' as the balls of the Coil's Anny Revolver,
t Hut in addition to these there is a large
! 1 center barrel the charge of which consists of I
T fifteen or twenty huekslmt. Tlii? l>nn-?l !c I
5 independent of all the others, and is dis- j
charged by means of a sliding hammer at-;
3 tached to the regular Colt's hammer. The i
1 adjustment for the discharge of the central
1 or grape shot barrel can be affected by a
, single motion, in two seconds. In weight
} this weapon is about equal to the regular
t Army revolver, but in efficiency it far sur*
passes it.?iV. O. Crcssent.

is in us enjoyed, and though cessation from
mental labor is not expected, there is the
o advantage, on the principle just 6tated, of
a change of thought, and that to subjects of,
the highest importance to our welfare^' *

The advocate listened attentively wbile ti
lift nnkown visitor tlius briefly explained ! j1
lis business. Then,opening tbo bundle of j (
locuments, ho went through lliem with the ! j,
carolling rapidity of his professional eye. i p
They were at last laid upon the table. j
'The action which is commenced against j "

a?e entirely on thu law, and use, without j
eserve, all its technicalities and quibbles i '
iiid if the legal points in your favor are all ' ,
taled clearly and ablv to the coutt, you j ]
vi11 inevitably gain your ease.' | 1
'No man living,' said the stranger, 'can ! )
lo what you thus describe so ably but your- | j
elf. Might I venture lo hope that you <
ivould reduce your legal opinion to writing ' i
?nd thus render mu invulnerable ?'
The advocate reflected for a minute or j
wo, and then taking up tlie document I j
which at the first word of request ho had I
roughly pushed away, lie said lie would do , '
ns the stranger wished. * On the morrow, '
;it the p.nue hour, the legal opinion would I .
bo ready. J .
The client was punctual. The paper was
presented to him, accompanied with a do- '
maud, very ahruply made, for a fee of three j
thousand francs !
lie stood mute-with astonish men t.
"Von are at liberty to keep your money,' j :
said the lawver. ":md T ?in :tl lilu.rlv ?/. t
throw my written opinion in the lire.
Advancing townr.l the chinney, apparently
lor the purpose, ho was stopped by >
the visitor. ;
'I will pay the sum,' he said, 'but I must i
give you my written acceptance for it.
'The money in gold,' said the advocate, !
'or you shall not have a line!'
The client saw that it was inevitable, and
taking his leave for the moment, returned i
soon with the coin. ile paid it?but in :
revenge, after gaining his cause,ho told the !
story in every corner of Paris. The jour- I
nals got hold of it. It was soon as vu.ivi r- ;
sal as the name and famu of the groat law- !
yer himself. Lnincnts were mad-*. by the |
editors over tho grasping advantage thus!
taken of a client in his extremity, and even !
friends expressed their regrets to him for j
this betrayal of avarice. But ho simply j
shrugged his shoulders ; and as every thing ,
is soon forgotten at Paris, it passed oat of j
the public mind. j
Ten years went by ; and, a few days j
since, at a celebration of which tho dignitaries
of the courts of law formed a part,
the processiou was interrupted by r? woman, :
who suddenly sprang from the crowd and
seized the hands of Muds. Dupin, the Pr*>
cureur-Gcneral.
'It is be !?it is lie !' sbc exclaimed, as she j
burst into tears antl covered his bands with i
kisses ; 'this is my benefactor, my friend,
tho angel by whose timely kindness I was
saved from ruin and spared to educate my
children !'
'Poor woman !' 8aid M. Dupin, 'she lias
loet her reason.'
But no I she insisted on explaining to the
bystanders that there was reason Nin her
tears and gratitude. She stated it brokenly.
Ten years ago, after the death of her
husband, a claim was put in by a relative
for the property upon which she had relied
to support and educate her children. She
resolved fn rlcfpnrl linr nr\cuf>cci/-,r>
which she knew to be her own, and had already
sold half her furniture to pay the
commencement of process?when one day
a stranger called upon her. lie abruptly
announced his business. lie told her that
the suit, for which kIio was running already
into expense, would be n lossing one?that
the law was against her, though justice was
on her side?that she had better abandon
it and save what she still possessed. He
then added that, from having been employed
on the case, he had been able to rescue

from her, and that it was contained in the
bag of gold which lie laid on ths table?abruptly
taking his lenvo , and giving her astonished
senses no opportunity for thanks
or inquiry. -Tbo three thousand franca with
which she waa thus enriched enabled her to
re-establish herself with her children, and
to commence a timely support of them
And from that day Bbe had been trying in
vain to discover who was her benefactorBut
his fedAirea were ancravftH r?n hor henrf
and, thank God, she recognised and could
thank him now 1'
And so, after ten years of misappreciation,
Mods. Dirpin's 'grasping, avarice' was
explained to bis legal brethren and the pubno
as quite another thing I Like some other

which the newspapers make bun out to be,

Tiik Ink of the Ancients.?In a letter
written by Mr. Joseph Ellis, of Brighton,
England, he states lliat by making a boIiition
of iihellare with borax, in water, and
adding a suitable proportion of pure lamp
black, an ink is producible which is indestructible
by time or chemical agents, and
which, on drying will present a polished
surface, as with the ink found on the Egyptian
papyri. He made ink in the way deRcribed,
and proved, if not identity with
that of ancient Egypt, yet the correctness of
the formula, which had been given him by
thf) latft Mr. P.linrlot l? 1> CI
Pithy Savings.?Health is the greatest
of all bodily pleasures, but the least thought
of. Flattery is a sort of bad money, to
which our vanity gives currency. It is the
perfection of happiness neither to wish for
death nor to fear it. The virtue of prosperity
is temperance ; the virtue of adversity is
fortitude. Levity is often less foolish, and
gravity less wise, than ertbh of them appear.
