At the close of this poem, the statue war- unveiled amid the shouts and applause of the multitude and the roaring of cannon. A Fugitive Gem. We find the following floating as a waif, without the name of the author: Man a bubble on the ocean's rolling wave. Life a gleam of light extinguished by the prave. Fame a meteor dazzling with its distant glare. Wealth a source of trouble, and consuming care. Pleasure a - gleam of sunshine passing soon away. Love a morning dream whose memory gilds the day.

Mothers and Daughters. In all the sweet harmonies and soothing melodies of earth, none falls with such thrilling tones of joy upon the heart as the lovirg, tender vibrations of a mother's voice. Sweeter on the ear of memory is her tremulous tones of affection, than all earth's minstrelsy. She it is who breathes the voice of risdom and of warning into the unsuspecting, innocent heart of childhood. Hers it is to write on the white and unsullied heart, lessons of virtue and goodness hers to weavo a garland of ever blooming, ever fragrant flowers around the altar of youthful, loving hearts, which shall bting its own exceeding great reward. How great the need that the mysteries of a mothers leve should encircle the daughter's pathway, to teach, guide, counsel and direct her, especially at that important reiiod of her life, when the heart is listening to the whispeiings of a new and strange love. By all means should
mothers be consulted in matters of the heart. If this were done, how much unhappiness and life-long misery would be prevented! Mothers should rear and encourage their daughters to lay the'r cares on their sympathising bosoms, and always to seek their counsel and advice. If this were done, how many mistakes and heart sorrows miglu have been averted how manv unworthy attachments and ill-assort-ed manages would have been prevented by a mother's judicious advice and counsel. Sympathy and confidence the young heart seeks as its natural aliment, and if the mother withholds it, it will surely be sought, and very probably from those in no wise capable or worthy of giving it. Very careful should the mother bo how she disregards or ridicules the first buddings of love in her daughter's tender and gentle heart, and never should their youthful attachments bo treated lightly or turned in:o ridi'tale, or marrhige interdicted, occupying, as it does, to a greater or less degree, the mind of every young girl. VS; do not wUh to be understood as teaching that marriage should be. regarded as tho Alpha and Omega of their existence; on tho contrary, it is to direct their minds to the importance and responsibility of such a relation, and to prevent the barter and sale which we confess with sVime, some mothers make of their daughters, that we have introduced the subject. There are some mothers who hold their daughters for sale to the highest bidder. Wealth, station, and rank in societyr and not morality, is a passport to iheir favor money, and rot loving hearts, they would have them ved. We would that mothers inculcated into the minds of their daughters, that to be happy they must be useful; that they, to be blest in lifo, must bs loving, dutiful and kind to parents; that to be faithful and true wives and mothers, they must have right conceptions of what their duties arc i" these sacred relations. Woman should bo an independent being, not only capable of controlling her affections, but possessed of those high and ennobling powers of mind which will give her a very strong and enduring influence that would make her scorn to seek marriage from any other motive than mutual affection, which should alonö be fo mded on good and esti mable qualities. When we have a race of educated, self-independent, noble-minded mothers, who endow, the minds of their daughters wih such sentiments tlhen shall we have fewer ill-starred marriages, fewer men and women seeking divorces from uncongenial and unkind companionj. Mrs. Nttcton. Power and E'rogrcss. Amid all the commotions of the times, the wrangling of politicians, and the general breaking up of old opinions and systems not founded in truth, science and religion hold on the even tenor of their way, as possessing principles which are imperishable. History has recorded many wondrous things in the past, but it will be her province to record many more wonderful things in the future. In the midst of our own excitements, religion is still progressive. In Kansas itself the voice of the peaceful preacher is heard, and he goes on with his work unmolested. The Sepoys of India did not kill the missionaries for their religion, but be'-anse they were classed with Uuropeans. As long as the passions of men are what they are, coflicts ai commotions will more or less mark' very age; but the healing influences of truth, morality and religion, will still be vital and vegetative. The world is made up of all sorts
of men, and women, too, for the latter are, after all, "a- power" on this mundane sphero. . They may frequently bo concealed "behind tho throne,' but they r.ro vigilant, vivacious,: perspicacious. and effective. Some writers testify to the astonishing qualities developed by many of the ladies,- amid the unprecedented scenes in India.: There are many active philosophers of the day who remind U3 tlvat we
are not passing through a lethargic .age, but that it is full of energy. In the production of this state cf things tho press has errted a great influence. There is scarcely a section of tho globe, however remote or inaccessible, but has been explored, and this century has been distinguished for the successful efforts of. skilful and daring ,aen. . Look at'Franklin, Kane, Moffatt, Layard, Bvth, Livingstone, and we would add -Frcmcnt, if ho would content himself with explorations, however bold and hazardous, and not lidiculously strive to ascend to tho heights of political power. Tho melancholy result h:is !efc him neither a President nor a philosopher; not even an engineer, and he would have made a very creditable one. Sir Humphrey Davy changed tho whole face of chemistry, but lie was not cut out for Prime Minister. The reason whv Bon. Frenkl'm not only tamed tho lightning, but tamed I politicians, and even monarchs, is" that he had a great fund of good sense, a rare commodity in these times. We hve heard and read much of Egypt, Greece, Asia Minor, and tho Holy-Land. Chateaubiiand, Madden, Eustace, Lamartine, and others, have written attractively, but the first and last of these were but traveling romancers, coloring all things with their poetic fancies. The temples, tombs, and obelisks of Egypt for centuries mocked the traveling mysterious characters nai, too, exhibited a s none could decipher. Hero there were ruir.cd halls and palaces in the e.ist there wero subterraneau works of art, curious and instructive, into the depths of which none had penetrated. Centuries had rolled over them; hoary time had consecrated them. Pages of history weie written in the earth, but none could read them. At length the man was found. Layard was the man. He was to disentomb palaces and temples from the sepulchre of ages. He was to dhinter Nineveh itself, and make that ancient city stand in the midst cf posterity; Nineveh that was destroyed G00 years before Christ, or a century and a half after Rome was founded. The same superior mind that educed order and beauty out of those material ruins, exhibited its supremacy over those wild and capricious Arabs, for they wore wonderfully managed and controlled to execute the plans of Layard; as well those in power, as the subordinate rank and file cf the children of the desert. The geniu3 of tho traveler, the antiquarian, and the philosopher, aro combined in him, and he would seem to have a mind even for parliamentary influence. We rejviec in all tho talent and genius of the ago wheresoever found. Wars must ultimately cease, and peaceful pursuits everywhere engage the attention of men. Those are citizens of the world, who, like Humboldt and Lyell, seek, in propagating knowledge, to make it availing for cementing the ftiendship of nations. Tho evangelical alliances shed their sanctifying influences over all, and the world will eventually be regenerated, for the tower is at work, and ihe progress is manifest. A Parable For Business 3Icn. There was once upon a lime, a man who kept a store, and sold goods wholesale and retail. And he became melancholy, because his customers were shv, and the times wero
hard. And he said: Lo! I am ruined, and the sensation is disagreeable.And my ruin is the more painful for mo to bear, becauf-e .it is slow in progress, even as water doth gradually become hotter in the pot wherein the lobster boileth, until the crustaceous creature shriekfclh out his soul in anguish.' ; Lo! it is better to be ruined quickly than lo endure this slow torture. I will give ray 'money away to the poor man even to the poorest which is lie that printeth newspapers, and I will thut up my shop, and wrap myself in the sackcloth of desolation, and pass my days in tho purlieus of broken banks, cursing the hardiness of the times and mending my garments. And the howling of Rome shall be 'as
the dulcet sound of Dulcimers, and they who blow the flutes and instruments of music, compared to the din I w'dl make in the cars of the wicked even in the ears of bank directors. And even as ho said, so did he; for he was not like other men's sons, who are foolish and Lnow k not, and they sny they will do so and so, performing that which 13 contrary. For the sons of men are fickle, and he that is born cf woman doth spite his face by diminishing tho length of the nose thereof. And Ig! tho printer even ho vho did publish newspapers was made glad by the bounty of him who sold wholesale and retail; and he did sound his "praises, and print them moreover, and did blow tho
trumpet of frtmo respecting that man's dealings from the rising of the sun to the goin j down of the same. And ho even the printer of pnper? did. enlarge and mngnify vpon the ?.!o:k of goods winch the trader had in hU store, and did publich the variety and the excellence, arid the newness, and the beauty, aid the cheapness thereof; till tho people yra! all of them, fir and near were amazed: , And they said.lo! this man lias gatheroil from flw fnit tinrl fWiin ff vf?r. ri-f-ly merchandise and wares of wondrous value even the workmanship of cunning artificers and we knew it not until now. Go to, then. Wo will lay out our silver and our gold in those things which the
printer piinted of, and that which he doth knew a young lady that lived in such and pub'.Uh shall be ours. For this man's ! sucli a house. merchandise is bettei than the bank notes!. ,l What, my Matilda Jane!" exclaimed ! ho.
ofthoso who promise to pay, and therein lie, even banks of deposit, which beguile j me for goods that are i a my store.. I will j still give to the printer,' and thus will I ruin mvself; I will do that which no man hath yet. dfne in my time or before me. jwiil make tho printer man, whom all men scorn for hts poverty, rich, and ho shall be clad in fine linen, and he sha'.l rejoice. And the son3 of men shall meet him in the market place, and the sheriff shall shun him, and tho scoffers shall bo rebuked, and shall take off their hats to him that was poor. And he shall flash the dollars in the eyes of the foolish ?.nd shall eat bank-note sandwiches. Yea, even shall ho light his pipe with railroad scrip, and shall cast his spittlo on the beards of other men. For I will ruin myself, and he who advertises me shall enjoy my substance. But lo! the trading man even ho who sold merchandise became rich, and even as the unclean beast lieth in tho mire, so stirred he not by reason of much gold. And tho people flocked to his store from the north. And from the south. And from the east. . And from the west. And tho printer rejoiced, and his phat did abound. But the the trader could not become poor; and his melancholy ceased, and the smih-s of happiness wro upon his face. And hi3 children did become mightv in tho land, by reason of tho dollars which many of th-3 people who read I113 advertisement had poured into the traders money bags. ' .i.

They "were pronounced man and woman husband and wife She was Matilda Jane Smith and ho is Matilda Jane Smith's husband. All parties satisfied I believe. This is all of this very interesting storv ! that will appear in this paper. If you with to read an other chapter, you will find it in ' f Cl w t i Soft Shell Led; the'Toad Hollow Gazette," and "N. Y. (3 rnp Support your Home Paper. The CIr land Heiald talks thus sensible upon the duty of supporting homo paper. Becol-'. lect, if a homo weekly paper is to be sup-, ported, home influence must do it. Every dollar sent to Eastern papers is at the expense of the local papers. A county acquires prominence through its paper more thaiif in any olher way to every one who has county interest at stake, his home paper ia a necessity. Never will such a man take a paper printed away from home until ho is able to take a second paper. Hi first paper will be his home sheet, and he will so ' identify his own interest with that of hi county paper as to consider his subscript tion as much a matter of duty as the payment of his taxes." That is very sensible talk. Every community should support-well its local paper Each county in every State, should pride itself on the support given the papers published within its limits.
