Ami when the savage, grim and dire,
lfi bloody work began,
For a champion brave I have been told.
Mile Stamlish was tho man.
But oh, his heart was made to bow
With grief and uain full low,
For sickness on tho pilgrim band
Nowdealt a dreadful blow.
t
In arms of death so fast thev fell
Thsy scarce were buiied.
And his dear wjfc, whose name w. .Kos,
Was laid among the dead.
His sorrow was not loud, but deep,
For her he did bemoan,
And such keen anguish wrung nis heart.
He could not live alone.
Then to John A Men he did ask, i
John Allien was his friend,
And said "friend John, unto 111 y wish
I pray lliee, now attend.
My heart is sad, 't1s'ry gad,
My poor wife Rose it gone.
And irftliis wild and siivage land
' I cannot live alon. . "
. i
To Mr. William Mullins. then
I wish-you would repair,"
A ad sec if he will give 'ne lea've
To wed his daughter fair."
Priscilla was this daughter' name .
Comelp and fair was she.
And kind of heart she was withal,
A a any maid could lie.
Jolm Alden to oblige hi friend,
Straightway to Mullins went,
And told his errand like a man,
And asked for his consent.
Now Mr. Mullins was a sire,
Quite rational and kind,
And such consent would never give,
Against hii daughter's mind.
Ho told John Alden, if his child
Should Is; inclin'd that way,
And Captain Staudish was her choice,
' He had no more to say.
He then call'd in his daughter dear,
And straightway did retire,
That she might with more freedom spenk.
In absence of her sire.
John Alden had a bright blue eye,
And was a handsomo man,
And when he spoke, a pleasant look
O'er all his features ran.
He rose and in a courteous way
His errand did declare;
And said, "fair maid, what word shall I
To Captain Staudish hear ?"
Warm blushca glow'd upon the checks
Of that fair maiden then ;
At first she turn'd away her eyes,
Then look'd at John again ;
And then, with downcast, modest mien
.S'he said with trembling tone,
"Notf-prithee, John, why dost thou not
Speak for thyself alone V
Deep red then grew John Alden's face;
' He. bade, the maid good bye ;
Wut well she read, before he went,
The language of his eye.
No matter what the language said,
Which in that eye wan rife
In one short month Priscilla was

The Coal Merchant.
Jemmy, my fpn, just throw into trie Joad of
pine coal a basket of tlu best maple, birch and
alder, and scatter it about well ; it needs some
thing to make a jingle. Now I'll start for mar
ket. Have some coal lo-day, marni ?
W hat sort have you sir r
As nice of the kind as you ever saw the best
part of it maple, birch and alder, with a pine stick
hern and there. .
We'll have a dozen bushels.
The bin is filled, the dollar paid, and the mer
chant drives on to the next door. Soon as the
dust suhsided. the bin is visited, and the quality
discovered. The master smutly-nosc is sent for,
he comes back and coolly looks upon the bin.
Now sir, I want you to lake this piiic coal and
(hose brand-ends, and give me my dollar, or I
will let the neighbors know what a cheat you are.
A cheat! Why good woman 1 never heard
such a charge before in my horn days. I told
you just what the coal was before you bought it.(
Did you" not say that the greatest part of it was
frotn hard wood ? . ''"',.
No, miirm, I said the bent part and so it is.
You did not tell me that it was half brands
ends. ' Ciood Woman, I told you lherc was a pine stick
here and there, and you 11 fhem here and there
if they had been burnt, we shpuld have called
it pine coal. No, no, marm, you do us great in
justice to say that we coal merchants cheat.

The Smile. There are few persons capable
of smiling gracefully. A really graceful smile,
emanating from the heart, playing lightly and in
beauty around the lips, casting an expression of
pure benevolence over tho countenance, ant bear
ing, as such a smile wl, the mark of intelligence
and of a (rank and pen disposition, is a rare gift
indeed, and proclaims the possessor a member of
the aristocracy of nature. Without the stars and
ribbons, the marks of her royal favor, he may
stand, perhaps on a higher pedestal than many
who bear such brilliant decoration. Never lake
the the trouble of asking 1 botjd from a per
son wha can really -smile,. dread no de

imposed upon by a,ner, grimace, or distortion

is the science of sleep. It says that one man can

The language of bird.
The Bobolink, or conquedlo, is celebrated
throughout New England for the great variety of
speeches attributed to him. He is a great chat
terer, and always seems to be talking with rapidi
ty while he is singing. Some of his notes cer
tainly bear a resemblance to the word which is
given to him as name. Among tho ludicrous
phrases which ho is often heard to utter, the fol
lowing dialogue is given: Bobolink spies one of
his comrades half burled in the tall grass, and,
soaring .above him, he vociferates: "Winter see
hlc, winter secblc, conqucdle, conqucdle, hid in
the clover, come pay me, come pay me, you've
owed 1110 seven-and-sixpenco more than two
weeks, and now yon mean to cheat me!" Upon
hearing this conqucdle rises, up with quivering
wing from his hiding place, and wies out with
exulting voice, as he poises himself in the air:
"Wadolink, wadnlink, whiskodink, whiskndink,
dance a single jig; I've nothing for you; waichee,
watchee, say another wor.d to mo and you may
whistle for it all your life time!"
Not only the wild birds but our domestic poul
try are occasionally heard to make ' some very
significant remarks. It is a remarkable fact that
the common ducks invariably call out " Quark,
quack, tjuackr whenever a doctor's sulkey pass
es by their flock. But the most extraordinary
of all the speeches of Ihe feathered tribe is that
of chanticleer, which may be regarded as decid
ing a controversy that has long been waged in
the civilized community. Old chanticleer awakes
in" the morning,fl;ips his wings, and vociferates
at the top of his voice., "Women rule h-e-r-r .'"
Immediately. Irom a netghboting roosl, another
answers: "So' they Jo h-e-r-e!" This is no soon

I conclude with that interesting lilllc birdcall
ed tho wood pewee, an inhabitant of our woods,
that seems like some benighted wanderer, flying
from tree to tree, and crying "pe-a-wee, pe-a-wee,"
in such a plaintive manner as to attract
your attention more than the sweetest warWing.
Sometimes he seems to be actually imploring
your sympathy, and endeavoring to relate to you
his grievous misfortunes. .

S'ew Mode of Making 'Soap- The Westmin
ster Carolinian mentions the manufacture of a bar
rel of soap by Mrs. Moul, of that toirn, without
the aid of fire. The whole process of change j"
from ley to soap is effected by the heat of the suir,
without ahy trouble. It mnst be regarded as an
cconominal improvement on the old process.
We know of an economical house wife in this
city who has been iti the habit lor many years of ,
manufacturing, in the manner above indicated, al(4 .
the soft soap she required for household purpo 1
ses. The process is exceedingly simple, it 6e-T'
ing only necessary lo use an old barrel as aley
hopper, and draw ofTevery now and then a buck
el of ley, which poured upon the grease, that
should be placed in another barrel and set in a '
position where, it is exposed to tht rays of the
sun buLlabegvejetover Jn rainy weather. In
this manner, with the aid of occasional stirringT
the soap will be fit for use in a few weeks. One
barrel of ashes and four pounds of rendered fat -will
make a barrel pf soap. It is necessary, how
ever, to rend up the fat, a it may be thrown into ,
the barrel in any state snd will, be consumed by
tho ley,--JVa. Int.
