A squirrel, he sat on the topmost limb Of a fine old hickory, graceful and slim, For his breakfast he'd run over heather and heath, And now he sat cozily picking his teeth. And there. as he sat, gently fanned by the breeze, That rustled the leaves of the old forest trees, A poor wounded dove came and perched by his side, And to his "good morning" thus trembling replied: "I warn you, Sir Squirl to run for your life, Lest sorrow you bring on your children and wife, A hunter is coming, with dog and with gun, As a friend I'd advise you, Sir Squirrel, to run; Take warning, I pray you, from my bleeding breast; And hasten away to your leaf guarded nest." "Pooh! pooh !" quoth the squirrel, I scorn thus to run, I fear not the hunter, his dog, nor his gun," "Goodbye, then, Sir, Squirrel, ere yet 'tis too late, I go, and leave you alone to your fate." Away sped the dove over heather and heath, And the Sqirrel sat cozily picking his teeth. But soon came the hunter, with dog and with gun, And then the poor Squirrel would gladly have run, i : But a victim he fell to his folly and pride, And after scorning good conusel the poor Squirrel died. . . . . . , MORAL. 1 We are apt to forget in prosperity's hour, That round our bright path dark misfortunes may lower; . , We neglect to prepare 'gainst an unhappy fate, And mourn o'er our folly save when 'tis too late.

"You know she's pretty, don't you tho' ? And smart, with all beside, So if you'll write a piece for me, 'Twill cause a loving pride, And all the world of rivals brave, Could not our love divide." "I know she is, dear Sam, " says I, "All that true hearts desire, But poetry might fail to win, Or even to inspire ; - . So, in the sad event, mj pen Would beg leave to retire."

Indianapolis, 1854.

S3I?TING THE RESPONSIBILITY. i We clip the following from the Chambers (Ala.) Tribune. It is one of the last of the wag Hooper's stories, and to our thinking, one of the richest: , ! While attending court, recently, in the adjoin- ; ing county of Randolph, a friend who is fond of i jokes of all sorts, and who relates them almost as humorously as -'his Honor," gave us the following, vouching for the substantial, sub-lunar existence of the parties and their present residence "in the county aforsaid." Brethren Crump and Noal were both members of the Primitive Baptist Church, and both clever, honest men, who paid their taxes and debts as the same annually accrued, with a regularity at once christian and commendable. If, when set- ' tling day came round, brother Noel was "short," brother Crump was sure to be in funds; and on the other hand, it almost seemed providential, how, if brother Crump fell "behind" brother Noel always had a surplus. Thus borrowing from and lending to each other, worshipping at the same church, and living only a mile apart, an intimacy gradually ripened between them; so that at last they did not hesitate to speak in the freest and most familiar manner to each other, in regard to their respective foibles. Now, it came to pass that brother Crump, during the liveliest period of the cotton season, drove into Wetumpka and disposed of his "crap" of ten bales at the very fair price of 12 cents per lb. It was more than he expected, and as the world was easy with him, he determined to invest, and did actually invest, a portion of the proceeds of the sales of his cotton in a barrel of whisky, paying therefor at the rate of precisely two pounds of middling cotton for one gallon of

"ditto whisky. Of course it was "narrated in the settlement" that old man Crump had bought a whole barrel, and after a few weeks people began to observe that his nose grew redder and his eyes more moist. The idea that brother Crump was drinking too much diffused itself in the neighborhood, until, as one might say, it became epidemical. People talked and talked, more especially "what few" of other denominations of Christians dwelt thereabouts. Brother Noel was "sore troubled" at the scan dal which circulated about his brother and friend, and especially regretted the injury it brought to the '"ciety" at Sharon. So one morning he stepped over to brother Crump's, and found the old man in a half doze in his little porch. "Won't you take a dram?" .isked brother Crump, as soon as he was aware of the presence of his neighbor. "Why, yes, I'm not agin a dram when a body wants it." ' Brother Crump got his bottle, and the friends took a dram apiece. i "Don't you think, brother Noel," said Crump, "that sperits is a blessin'?" "i -e-s! responded JNoel, "sperits is a blessin , but according to my notion, it's a blessin' that some of us abuse." "Well, now, brother Noel, who do you think abuses the blessin'?" "Well, it's hard to say but people talk don't you think you drink too much, brother Crump?" "It s hard to say it s bard to say, returned Crump. "Sometimes I've thought I was a drinkin' too much then agin, I'd ihink may be not. W hat is man? A weak wurrum ot the dust! What the Lord saith, that shall be done! So I left it to the Lord to say whether I was goin' too fur in sperits. I put the whole ' sponsihility on him; I prayed to him, ef I was drinkin' too much, to lake away my appetite for sperits." "And," continued Crump, "I've prayed that prayer three times, and he haint done it! So I'm clear of the 'sponsibility, any way." "The Lord's will be done!" ejaculated Noel, and after taking another dram went home, thinking all the way how cleverly brother Crump had shifted the responsibility. " i Grafted Chestnut Trees. The Cincinnati Gazette publishes an interesting letter from Mr. Sheldon I. Kellogg, to the Wine-Growers' Association, dated Bordeaux, France, on the cultivation of the chestnut. He says: ; " I have been much surprised in seeing the great dependence of the poorer classes make upon the large chestnut for their daily food. It is cultivated in this neighborhood in great abundance for this purpose. All classes use them more or less; the rich having them daily brought upon their tables as desert, either boiled or roasted. It is often made into soup, which is highly esteemed. .They are cooked in a multitude of ways, and I know of nothing of a farinaceous nature which is so very delicate and nourishing. The marron, or large chestnut, is the produce of the wild chestnut after being engrafted. The wild tree, at three or four years of age, is cut square off, say four or five feet from the ground. The stump is then split twice. These splits intersect at right angles at the centre of the stump. There is then inserted one good sized branch of the same tree in every section of the splits, making four branches in each stump. Care is always taken to make the bark of the branches and the bark of the stump join each other as closely as possible. The graft is then surrounded with clay and moss, to prevent the outflow of sap, and it scarcely ever fails of success. The period selected in this climate for this operation is the month of February. The produce of this graft is usually a fine, large, beautifully colored marron, about the size of our buckeyes. They are much more delicate in texture and flavor than our own wild chestnut. They are never eaten without being cooked. The tree is a very beautiful one, being, though not so hisjh as ours, much more dense in foliage, and shading a larger space of ground." Gen. Scott's Opinion, of the War. Correspondence of the Charleston Mereury. . Washington, Monday, Jan. 8, '55. I had recently the pleasure of hearing the criticism of General Scott on the war in the Crimea. I look upon Scott as one of the great captains of the age. and I listened with great interest to his ideas, He says the allies committed a great blunder in delaying the attack upon Sebastopol as long as they did; that immediately after raising the siege of Silistria, they should have attacked Sebastopol, at which time there was a comparatively small force in the Crimea; that the allies cannot take Sebastopol unless they receive reinforcements, giving them a superiority of force to the extent of from thirty to fifty per cent.; that the Russian regular soldiers are the best troops in the world for defense; they never fly, but perish, unless ordered to retreat. He thinks the allies labor under a great disadvantagein having two commanding generals; that the joad to victory is through unity of design. The inference I would draw from General Scott's ideas is, that-Sebastopol will not be taken, for I doubt whether the allies can throw such a preponderance of force there as is necessary. The General further said that the allies could not re-embark now without immense loss of men and all the materials of war in camp, except the weapons in their hands.

MAIN E PROHIBITION We last week looked down into Maine, which enjoys the proud distinction of having been the first American State perhaps the first fully organized political community to abolish and absolutely prohibit the traffic in Intoxicating Drinks. This important step was taken nearly four years ago, amid the sanguine predictions of adversaries and the raven croaking of timid friends of Total Abstinence that they were "going too fast," "running the thing into the ground," and "ruining the Temperance cause." These doleful prognostications were not deferred to, for Neal Dow led the force arraved against the destructive sway of Alcohol. ' An act of Prohibition was passed, which in due time went into effect, and has now been over three years a rule of conduct for the people of that Eastern State. Of course, it has, like other laws, been violated, under the influence of Appetite or Avarice; but,' though repeated and laboriously concerted efforts have been made to overthrow it, (the Governor and all the members of the Legislature being annually chosen,) every such effort has met with signal discomfiture, and the Prohibitory principle has steadily increased in popularity un

til now, when along with the new governor, Dotn branches of the Legislature are heartily and almost unanimously advocates of not only maintaining but strenfftheninc it, and a Committee is , now engaged in perfecting the details of a bill calculated to give it the utmost possioie eiuciency. That Committee, we understand, are now hesitating on this point "Shall we sweep away at once all the Liquor Agencies, arhrm the inutility of all Alcoholic Beverages to subserve any laudable purpose Mechanical, Medicinal or Religious and forbid the sale of such beverages under whatever circumstances?" Or, "Shall we tolerate the deference to what remains of ancient ignorance on this subject, and allow Liquor to be sold for certain specified uses other than that of potation?" We believe a majority of the Committee, at present, inclines to take the strong ground, and say: "There is no legitimate use for Alcoholic Drinks, and none shall hereafter be sold in this State, save in violation of law." The question here involved is surrounded with practical difficulties, and we share the Committee's hesitation with reirard to it. If there were no other judgment but ours to be consulted in the premises, we would say at once, Alcohol, like other deadly poisons, may sometimes be useful as a medicine, or in some chemico-industrial process; but ff so let it be prepared, kept and dispensed as Alcohol an undisguised, undoubted poison and not in the deceitful and treacherous guise of a potable fluid. And, as to the Eucharistic or sacramental observance, we indignantly repel the assumption that any deadly poison as Alcohol demonstrably is can be a fit or tolerable symbol of the redeeming blood of the Savior of Mankind. ' But whether the public mind in any State is as yet sufficiently enlightened to approve and uphold legislation which utterly and absolutely outlaws all alcoholic potables, no matter how disguised or upon what pretext desired, we do not judge. If there is doubt in any case, it may be best to incline to the side of caution, and carry Prohibition no further than it is morally certain to be sustained. But there is no doubt that Maine is abundantly ready for a far more stringent inhibition than the present, and that the present Legislature will enact accordingly. The penalties for illegal selling, and especially for the first offense, will be enhanced, the transporters of surreptitiously imported Liquors by Railroads and otherwise will be subjected to fine if not imprisonment, and the dispensation of Liquor for medicinal and fcindred uses will be taken up very short if not entirely abolished. Of so much we have ample reason to feel confident. The pretense that as much Liquor is sold now in Maine as in former years is impudently false. We spent three days in traveling through the State without seeing a glass of it, or an individual who appeared to be under its influence; and we were reliably assured that, at the Augusta House, where the Governor and most of the Leristure board, not only was no Liquor to be had,' but even the use of Tobacco had almost entirely ceased. ; And all accounts agreed 1 that in the Stale Capital the illicit sale of Liquors is greatly less now than it was even a year ago. ' ' It must be borne in mind that Maine has nearly a thousand miles of boundary, and that all her neighbors authorize the Liquor Traffic, while her sea-coast is frequently and deeply indented with bays and sounds, to and from which small craft exporting lumber, lime, potatoes, fec, and bringing back goods and knick-knacks, are constantly plying. There is not another State in the Union which would labor under so great physical and geographical obstacles in enforcing Liquor Prohibition as Maine does. All honor, then, to her1 pioneer resolve and her immovable persistance! ' K Y. Tribune. 1 Items Concerning American Writers. Rev. Francis Wayland, D.
