THE SCATTERED HOUSEHOLD. "How the world's aspect chatigcs.'''' The family group is gathered, And all are happy there : round, There cheerful glance and word passM For life with them were fair. A full unbroken household! It is a pleasant sight; The mother's smile is sweeter then, The father's glance more bright. There is another gathering: But one is wanting there The youth who sat beside his sire, Comes not to fill his chair. The grave-yard bears another stone, The miss'd one sleeps beneath; The cheerful smile doth yet pass round, But thou art fclf, O Death! Again there is a gathering, Bat where was she whose smile Was wont to make j our young hearts Our father's heart beguile? glad, In vain we list a Mothers voice 'T is stilled in the tomb! The happy smile is seen no more, Where mirth was, now is gloom. Once more there is a gathering, Once more an empty space, Proclaims that death has been at work, To fill a Brother's place. His grave is in a distant isle, Made by the stranger's hand; Oh, hard it is to die away From one's own native land! That group will never gather more Around that kindred hearth; 'Tis broken up what Death has left Are scattered o'er the earth; And where that humble mansion stood, There now is not a stone To mark the spot or tell of those Who to their graves have gone. THE LITTLE MAID. A LITTLE BALLAD A LITTLE ORIGINAL. There was a little maid Who wore a little bonnet, And she had a little finger With a little ring upon it. She screwed her little waist, To such a little size, That it made her little blood Rush to her little eyes. This pretty little maid Had a pretty little beau. Who wore a little hat, And gloves as white as snow. He said his little heart Was in a little flutter That he loved ih little maid And no one else but her. She smiled a little smile, When he breathed his little vows; And he kissed her little hand, With many little bows. By little and by little, Her little heart did yield, Till little tears and sighs, Her little fears revealed. A little while alas! And her little beau departed, With all his little vows, And left her broken-hearted. Now, all ye little maids, A moral I will give you; Don't trust to little men, Thcv surelv will deceive vou. THE OLD SALT. Revuen James was born in the county of Sussex, State of Delaware, in 1778, and when q'litc a lad entered the merchant service; in 1707, while on board an American privateer, engaged a French privatcer oil" the island of Gaudaloupe in which he was captured. He returned to the United States; sailed in the Frigate Constellation, Com. Ti uxton, and "in February, 179'J, fell in with the French Frigate Le Insurgente, and after a close action of an hour and a half compelled her to strike. The rate of the Constellation was 32 guns, that of the Le Insurgente 40. The former had 3 men wounded and none lulled, the latter had 41 wounded and 29 killed." Refuted and put to sen, "in Feb ruary, 1800, engaged the Le vengeance of 54, in the evening, the action continued with great obstinacy on both sides until o'clock, when the Le Vengeance was completely silenced, but sheered off during the night, in consequence of the Constellat ion losing her mainmast " Com. John Rogers, the senior Captain in the Navy at this time, served as the first Lieutenant during the first engagement. He next shipped on board the Frigate President and sailed under Com. Dale, in 1801, for the protection of our commerce in the Mediterranean against the Barbary powers; his term of service expiring while at sea, he re-shipped on board the Frigate Chesapeake to continue the same service. Li the harbor of Gibraltar, he volunteered on board the Schooner F.ntcrprisc, Lieut, now Com. Hull; gave chase to a Tripolitan sloop of war, which after some sharp shooting, blew up, it is supposed by accident. In 1803 he was one of the 60 men selected by Lieutenant Decatur to destroy v. Friaafe Philadelphia, which had suriw r 1 j rendered in consequence of accidentally irettinff atrround in the harbor of Tripoli and was then at anchor within half a gun of the Bashaw's castle, surrounded by cru siers and gun boats.

This bold undertaking was accomplished

in the most gallant manner, and was pronounced by Lord Nelson, "the most bold and daring act of the age." And we add with much regret, that even at this late day the prize money so nobly earned has never been awarded to the captors. In 1704 Com. Preble planned an attack upon the battery and vessel by means of the squadron and gun boats, which was carried into execution on the 3d of August. The first division of gun boats was in command of Captain Decatur, who had been promoted for his gallant achievement in the destruction of the Philadelphia. Reuben James was on the same boat with him, and during the engagement saved the life of Captain Decatur by an act of the greatest bravery and attachment to his commander; the incident is thus narrated in the Naval Temple, pages 31 and 32. "At this moment Captain Decatur was informed that the gun boat commanded by his brother, had engaged and captured a boat belonging to the enemy, but that his brother as he was stepping on board, was treacherously shot by the Tripolitan commander who made off with his boat. Captain Decatur immediately pursued the murderer, who was retreating within the lines, having succeeded in coming along side, he boarded with only eleven men. A doubtful contest of twenty minutes ensued. Decatur immediately attacked the Tripolitan commander, who was armed with a spear and cutlass. In parrying the Turk's spear, Decatur broke his sword close to the hilt, and received a slijrht wound in the right arm and breast, bin having seized the spear he closed, and aftcr a vi' ljut struggle both fell, Decatur uppermos; . l he 1 urk then drew a dagger from his belt, but Decatur caught hold ,,H,: a :4.ir i ui im uuu. uiuw ct pisioi iium ins pocKei, ati hi?' i v ' W llIJi? UUIIUJ IIJU I crews of both vessels rushed to the assistance of their commanders, and so despe rate had the contest around them been, that it was with difficulty that Decatur could extricate himself from the killed that had fallen around him. In this affair an American manifested the most heroic courage and attachment to his commander Decatur, in the struggle was attacked in the rear by a Tripolitan, who had aimed a blow at his head, which must have proved iaiai, naa not mis generous minded tar. ill -i I survived, and now receives a pension trom his grateful country."

Bread is now so heavy an article cf ex pense, that all waste should be guarded against; and having it cut in the room will tend much to prevent it. Since the scarcity in 17Po, and 1800, that custom has been much adopted. It should not be cut until a day old. Eearthen pans and covers keep it best. As far as it is possible, have bits of bread i " r to be pounded for puddings, or soaked tor brewis.

The Chicago Democrat states that mrinv of the merchants of that place, intend visit ing the atlantic cities tor the purpose of selecting wives. If we mistake not. there were lately forwarded, for the western market, from some place down East several wagon loads ot this article, carefully boxed; and as some of the papers said, labelled "Glass," "This side up with care." The forwarding merchants, however, hav ing torgottcn to add "keep dry," the ladies took advantage of the omission procured a quantity of the dolicious, drank thereof, and quarreled about which should be offered to the western Benedicts. The small dimensions of the cages would not admit of a fair set to, so the ladies "kicked the kivers off," and engaged in a display of science. After the destruction of much lace, and a good quantity of luxuriant curls, there was a division in the real Pizarro style. One charming maid, who had been the leader in the enterprise, drawing a line with her thimble in the sand, requested all those who had courage enough to go, to cross the mark with her. Only two passed the Rubicon, and with their companion, who flourished her scissors in Amazonian defiance marched on toward the goal of their hymcnial expedition. Whether they ever arrived our informant saith not, the others returned to the country of molasses and notions, and several of them have since become excellent wives and mothers in the home market. Xapoleon Bonaparte This renowned conqueror, who produced such consternation and astonishment in the world, who shook the most formidable kingdoms and empires of Europe, and made the mightiest potentates of the earth tremble on their thrones, descended not from kings or nobles, or any immortal line of ancestry, or from any of the titles and gewgaws of nobility; but from comparative obscurity. From his cradle he was fired with the ambition of gloty, and he commenced his career with the predetermination to do something, or die in the undertaking; and by his indefatigable perseverance and insatiable ambition, he surmounted every obstacle that impeded his progress, and arose to that towering pin nacle of fame which we so much admire. The conquerors of antiquity, when compared to this-.extraordinary personage, tq"ulfy"mayfeaVu'ft magnificent mausolems, and her sacred fanes to commemorate the achievements of her gods, demigods and conqucrers; but when all these shall beburied in eternal oblivion, the name of Napoleon Bonaparte will shine as resplcndant as. the luminary in the firmament of heaven!!! Milch Cows. The American Farmer, in the course of a long article on the treatment of cows, mentions the following circumstance. It strikes us as being worthy of the consideration of farmers, and those who keep cows. "And, let us remark, good water is essential to good milk yielding as good pasture.
