BT CHARi,i-:a HifiXSX
A traveller through a dusty road
Strewed acorn-j ou the lea,
And one took root and sproutcdJp,  '
And grew into a tree.
Lore sought its shade at evenin; time,
To breathe its early vows,
And Age was pleased En heataif noon,.
To bask beneath its bougha
The dormouse loved its dauglng twigs.
The birds aweet music here
It stood a glory in its place,
A blessing evermore!
A little wpring bad lost its wy
Among the grass and fern .
A passing stranger scooped awell,
Where weary men might tiru.
He walled it in, and hung wth care
A ladle at tbo briuk—
He thought not of tho decdhe did,
But judged that toil mvjht drink.
He passed again—and li ! the well,
By summers never fried,
Had cooled ten thousfod parebJng tongnes,
And sared a life leside!
A dreamer droppid a random thought;
'Twas old, aid yet 'twas new—
A Simple fancy cf the brain,
But strong inoeing true j
It shone upon * genial mind,
And lo ! its light became
A lamp of Jife. a beacon ray,
A monitory flame.
The thought was small—its issue great;
A watch firo on the hill,
It shed its radiance far adown,
Aod cheer* the valley still 1
A nameless man amid a crowd
That thronged the daily mart,
Let fall the word of hope and love,
Unstudied from the heart *m
A whisper oo the tumult thrown—
A transitory br^atL—
It rtised a brother from the dust,
It saved a soul from death '.
O germ ! 0 fount! 0 word of love!
0 thought at random cast!
Ye were but little at the first,
But mighty at the last.

Using a "U'liuic EjfS*
A friend told us a atory a few days hiiicc, illustrating thu free, generous character of tiie liish
which we consider too good to be lost, and therefore give it to our readers.
Our friend'a wife being in delicate health, it was
resolved that a girl should be procured to do the
koase worlc, that the lady might have au opportunity to recover her health and spirits.
After visiting aa intelligence olficc for two or
tliree morniuga, a Que buxom lass of about twenty
years of age, but six. months from sweet Ireland, j
waa selected and instructed as to the duties that
would be expected of her.
''Now, then," says the lady, "pour the ground
coffee into tho pot, then pour in the hot water, aad
after a few mluutea' hulling, put in one half oi an
egg," tho lady Illustrating each description by
demonstration. " You understand, don't you ?'-'
■ays the lady.
" Indado I do, mum," was the response, ** Bile
ihe coffee, grind in the wather, and dhrop in the
half of an egg.   Isn't that it, mum?''
11 All right," replied the lady. « Now, then, tomorrow morning we'll see how well you remember it."
To-morrow morning came, and the coffee was ns
good as could ba expected. The third morning
came, and to the astonishment of our friend and
wife, the coffee was undrinkable and nauseating ;
even the odor of it was sickening, Bridget was
called, and questioned a3 follows :
" Bridget, did you first put the ground coffee in
the pot V
"Iudade, I did, mam."
" Did you then pour iu the hot water V}
" Sure I did."
"How long did you let it boil ?"
"Five minutes, mum."
" What did you do then V
''I put in the egg, mum."
" Just as I sho\wd you the other morning ?"
"Well, to tell the truth, mum,"  says Bridget,
giving her garments a hitch with her  brawny
hands, "to tell ye the truth, I would not put in
the half of the egg, as yo told me, but the e?;g was
a bad one, aud I thougAt ye wouldn't mind about
kaping the half of it. and so I dhropped in the
critter as it was."

answered by Catharine herself. He hurried off to,
see her—lie was burning to embrace his long-lott
Catharine—but wlten he reached 'her residence,*be
found that she was Catharine Birrthe no more!
She had been M*i Catharine tfe Tithau-Lanei.-

Here was a blow, aad a hard one, to a person
who had lived and loved as long and as ardently

back for Kngiaud. "But he found out that, not-

ascertained, of all the satisfaction or gttitilicatioii
the old man had.
It is difficult to conceive' a more romantic case,
of enduring attachment; but hqw was it all
brought to light? It seems.that on first ascertaining that his beloved Catharine was a grandmother, Mr. Anderson made a-will giving all his
property to a nephew of the same name ; but after
residing for a space in-her vicinity, ho changed
his mind, revoked his former will, cut oil Iiis nephew, and bequeathed everything to his ancient

Revolutioxary E.km'!.niscij.\c':e3.—In 1S2G, after
all-save one of the band of.palriots whose slgna-
tu^'es are borne on the Declaration of Independence htul descended to the tomb, and the venerable Charles Carroll, of Maryland, alone remained
among the living, the government of the city of
New York deputed a committee to wait on the illustrious survivor and obtain from him,* for deposited the public hall of the city, a copy of the
Declaration of 177(1, graced and authenticated
anew with his sign manual. The aged putriot
yielded tothe rerjuest, and affixed by his own hand,
to acopy of that instrument, the grateful, solemn,
and pious supplemental declaration which follows :
Grateful to Almighty God of the blessings
which, through Jesus Christ our Lord, he has
conferred on my beloved country in her emancipation, and on myself iu permitting me, under circumstances of mercy, to live io the age of 89
years, aud to survive the fiftieth year of American Independence, and certify by my present
signature my approbation of the Declaration of
Independence, adopted by Congress on the -ItIt -of
July, 1776, which I originally subscribed on .the
I'd day of August of the same year, and of'which
I am now the last surviving signer, I do hereby re*-
cominend to the present and future generations
the principles of that important document as the
best earthly inheritance tiieir ancestors could bo-
cfueath to them, and pray that 'the cUSil and religious liberties they have secured to my aninlr-y
may be perpetuated to remotest posterity and
extend to the whole family of man.

A potato merchant, at Baltimore, who had lately married, after a breach of promise to another
lady, was followed to market on Saturday by the
injured fair one and severely • cowhided, Th.
lady cut him very severely about the face, and
greatly disfigured his physionomy. The ugcur-
rence caused a great deal of talk. «i yic market,

whipped by a woman, many persons called upon
him for their potatoes, and in a short tiua? he had
