Oh robin among the branches And blooms of th e apple tree, Whistling your song, The morning long, Who's happiest, you or me ? The clear little mate a swinging All day in your tiny nest, Chirps away, In a wifely 0 way, As she's saying her lot's tho best. While, in the shaded doorway, JHerrily stitcli and sing, And watch tho road Kor th e miller's load, The coach of my miller king, Who comes to hi s royal castle And.kisses the. little queen. Though In s face is brown, Yet his eyes look down, With the tenderest smile e'er seen, Nowt have no diamonds robin, Nor laco nor silken 'tire, But mere have I Than gold can buy, Or th e wealth of the world can hire. Stately and tall my king is, His crown is his waving hair, And proud is he, As any grandee, Yet his hopes and his fears I share. •For I am queen of his household, And queen of his heart as well. Supreme 1 reign O'er his fair domain, With 1 oVe for my powerful spell. So, robin among the blossoms, Will whistle and sing all day, Ha, ha, you and I, Sing high, sing high, For Wh6 is happier, pray ? — ^Anbum Democrat* SA.TXTK.i3jft.ir JsriGMara. \ 'Tis Saturday night, and labor is done, The sun is sinking, and almost gone, Tile bolls are ringing that tell the day, The Inst of seven is passing away— Forever away*\ The days follow each other hi quick succession., and with tho same rapidity the joys of life. The hopes of the\ morning are drowned in tears ere the close of day. Life's fair pictures of to-day are graves by Saturday\ night. Sad have been the changes'since last Saturday night! Many a new-lnade grave marks the place of buried love, the fountain of sadness from which so many hearts have drunk. The bri- dal wreath has been exchanged for the badge of mourning since Satur- day night. \What withering changes come over us! The hand whose touch thrilled our hearts with rapture last week, now lies folded in death. The lips we loved to kiss have lost their sweetness; the eye radiant with love has grown cold and in- different. Last week we had con- fidence—this we have none. The friend of to-day but too often proves the enemy of to-morrow. What a suitable time for medita- tion is Saturday night. Are we nearer Heaven than we were a week ago? Have Ave kept the prom- ises so faithfully made ? Have we strewn, flowers to soften the rugged path of life 2 The record has been faithfully kept, and will stand for or against us. Look back over the past. What a failure we are mak- ing of life. See what a wreck is there strewn! Buried hopes—prom- ises broken. The buds of good in- tentions lie withered in scorching suns of neglect;—harsh words in- stead of kind ones—thorns in the place of roses. Oh, it is a fearful waste! We have planted but few flowers along the borders of our lives. Here and there a fragrant blossom rears its head to comfort us with its beauties. I would there were more flowers and fewer thorns—more true love and less deception, Dear reader, our life has its Sat- urday night also. The night is fast approaching, Om- labor is al- most done. Our \sun is sinking, and almost gone,\ With many of UB it in scarcely above the tops of the trees. The death knell will soon toll to tell the living that we are passing' away—\forever away.\ HELP O^E^-kllSrOTrEIEJa.. W r hen the Harper Brothers were burned out a few years ago, losing about a million of dollars, even While their immense building was but half consumed, with its incalcu- lable treasures of books, business men, who knew their sterling in- tegrity, came to them and offered them all the money they wanted to enable them to begin again.— Perhaps this was the fruitage of the seed sown by their noble-hearted mother, when tliey were boys. It fell on this wise. There was an old-fashioned schoolmaster in the neighborhood whose custom it was to board around among the parents of his pupils, in part payment of tuition bills; in the course of years he fell into drinking habits, winch increased .upon him, until at length he became incapacitated for the per- formance of official duties and was deposed, when he soon became so offensive in manners and dress and conversation, that he was excluded •even from the kitchens of the neigh- borhood. One dreary winter day, Mrs. Har- per's eye fell upon him, and her heart was BO much moved at his forlorn and sad condition that she determined on the instant to try to save him, brought him to her house, allowed him to warm himself by the -kitchen-fire, gave him a good dinner, replaced his filthy rags with clean and comfortable clothing; put him iu the way of doing something for himself; stood by him, encour- aged him, countenanced him, al- ways meeting him with a smile of recognition. By degrees he began to think he was a man again; he felt proud of Mrs. Harper's speaking to him, and determined to be worthy of her good opinion; went to meeting, eventually joined the Methodist church, and soon thereafter died in the triumph of faith winch its sim- ple doctrines inspire, It makes one's heart bleed to think how many mother Harpers are needed nowadays to help the fallen, men and women both; to take them by the hand, and by kind words, and tender deeds, and judi- cious help, to show them a better way; millions of immortals could be saved for earth and heaven, too. They would be paid good wages, not only in their own persons, but good deeds bring blessings by in- heritance descending even to\ chil- dren's children. •w Tins BLACK GOLD IN CALIFORNIA. —California may be destined to be known as the Iron State. At a re- cent meeting of the Academy of Sciences, in San Francisco, attention was called to the existence of iron of a very superior quality, which abounded in almost unlimited quan- tities in the State. Some samples assayed showed fifty per cent of pare iron, of the very finest kind. The iron does not exist in layers or beds but it is found mixed with tho sand on the beach. This newly discov- ered mineral sand is highly magnet- ic. California papers announce the discovery of a body of coal near Santa Rosa, in Sonoma county, whioh is said to possess tho qualities of the best bituminous coals of En- gland'—although this statmentmust be received with some grains of al- lowance until more extended testa oi its properties can be made. It is said to coke well and to produce an intense heat when burned. As no very extended geological examina- tion of the locality has been made, it is, of course, impossible to form an opinion of the extent of the bod or its economical relations. The ordi- nary lignite of California occurs within a short distance of this report- ed coal vein. If the report of its occurrence should bo verified, it will bo no less interesting than import- ant to the people of that State. In a letter to us some years ago, Mark M. Pomeroy (\ Brick \ Pom- eroy) recounted the following little affair as having come off between himself and D. K. Locke, better know as \ Petroleum V. Nasby.\ To have published at the time when we received it would hardly have been fair, as the two were then pol- itical enemies, to all outward appear- ances; but now, since thoy have dropped into the same box, we may send it forth with perfect propriety —no harm will bo likely to result to either from a digging up of old scores. True, it- does not say much for tho youthful morals of Brick, but Brick don't care for that, and, therefore, won't feel offended; so, holding strictly to the text as it appears in his letter, Brick Pomeroy, at the age of seventeen, onterd upon duties of \printer's devil\ to the Corning Journal, a paper upon whioh Petrol- eum V. Nasby (Mr. Locke) then a young man, was working in tho ca- pacity offoroman, compositor, job printer, and pressman. Petroleum was paying his addresses to a young lady in Corning, and with a view to improving his standing in hor esti- mation, he some time after Brick's arrival, presented her with a very finemuff. It was gratefully accepted with a great many thanks, of course. Brick heard of it, and on the day following tho presentation, he went to the lady and told her that Mr. Locke had sent him for the muff in order that he might change it, as it was not the one he had intended to give; not so good a one as he thought ho was buying. Brick was known as the\devil\ in the office, and there- fore supposed to de tho very boy most likely to come on such an errand, so the muff was handed over with- out a word. He took it to the fur store, gave it in exchange for other goods, and that night the \dovil\ stepped into the office fully rigged out in a fine fur cap, with fine gloves to match, etc. Matters went on between Petrole- um and his adored as formerly, though, as ho atterwards acknowl- edged, there seemed to bo an unusal degree of coldness about hor manner. He made several visits, never dreem- ing of the trick that had been played and tho lady made no allusions to the matter, of course. Colder and distant she continued to grow, how- ever, until Potroleum found himself feeling not unlike a fish out of wa- ter. It became evident that there was something wrong, and time and again he begged her to tell him what it was. \There's nothing the matter,\ was the answer that invar- iably mixed up with it a kind of con tern ptous smilo which entirely killed its force. But murder will out. Ohurch day rolled around. Petroleum weufc to church and his lady-love came. It was in the midst of winter, tempera- ture ranged below zero, and she had not brought her muff! Poor Petro- leum ! Little did the exercises of that meeting interest him. His fate was clearly written in the absence of that muff. Petroleum was brave. He resolved to find out why she had thus cast him off or die in tho at- tempt. So that evening he put in an appearance at her home. It was the same old routine. What was the matter ? Nothing ! Why had she so mistreated him? She had not that she knew of! Why she certainly had ! Was she not even endcavoiv ing to show her contempt for the simple little present he had given her ? What present ? Why the muff, of course—why did she not take it to church ? The reader can imagine tho rest. That night Petroleum turned up at the office very much\out of sorts.\ Brick was called to account and flat- ly denied having any knowledge whatever of tho affair. No one be- livt-d him, but it was useless to fret; so to set matters right with tho lady Petroleum forwarded her, \by the hands of a more trustworthy boy\ (Brick's own words), a second and much finer set of furs.—Ex. NARROW BSOAI'B.—During a class meeting held by the Methodist breth- ren of a Southern village, brother Jones went among the colored por- tion of tho congregation. Finding therB*a man notorious for his en- deavor te serve God on tho Sabbath and Satan the rest of the week, ho said: \Well brother Dick, I'm glad to sec you here. Haven't stole any turkeys since I saw you last, broth- er Dick ?\ \No no, broddcr Jones, no turk- eys.\ \Nor any chickens, brother Dick ?\ \No no, broddcr Jones, no chick- ens.\ „ \Thank the Lord, brother Dick, that is doing well, my brother!\ said brother Jones leaving brother Dick, who immediately relievod his over burdened conscience by saying to a neighbor, with an immense sigh of relief: \ Ef ho'd a said ducks, he'd had me I\ Charles Marlow was hanged in Mayville> N. Y., August 2d, for tho murder of A. M. Bachman, at James- town, August 16, 1871. The crime was one of the most revolting evor committed in western New York, Bachman, a stranger, of whose an- tecedents nothing is known, made lis appearance in Jamostown, and professed to have largo amounts of money in his possession. Two days later, Marlow enticed him into the vault under his brewery, shot him and then burned the body of his vic- tim in the brewery furnace. Marlow received two trials ; the jury in the first trial disagreeing. On the sec- ond trial he was convicted and sen-, tenccd to be hanged March 29'. A stay of proceedings was served and( tho case taken to tho Supremo Court-, but a new trial was refused, and August 2d designated for tho exo^ cution, E.
