How motionless and still I
jix day* of toil, poor child of Cain,
Thy strength the slave of man may be ;
Che seventh thy limb* escape ihe chain—
A God bare made thee free!
Ah, tender was the law that gave
This holy respite to the breast
To breathe the gale, to watch the wave,
And know the wheel may rest.
But where the waTcs the gentlest glide.
What image charm* to light thine eyes !
The spire reflected on the tide
Invites thee to the skies.
To teach the soul its noblest worth,
The rest from mortal toil is given;
Bo snatch the brief reprieve from earth.
And pass—a guest to heaven.
They tell thee, in their dreaming school,
Of power from old dominion hurled,
^Fhen rich and poor, with juster rule.
Shall share the altered world.
Alas! since time itself began,
That fable hath but fooled the hour,
fach age that ripens power iu man,
t But subjects him to power.

Ono bright republic shall he kuown;

: The Schoolmaster's in that Bed.
* The following is one of many incidents
that follows a ‘boarding round schoolmaster;
I had been teaching in Lewis county in
this State, and this term was boarding
round. One evening after schoool ono of
my scholars stepped up to me and said :
. Mr. Jones, father said you would come
jfbome with me.”
T Veny well, I replied and forthwith set
tout for my patron’s house which was distant
*ome two miles. Now be it known, James
jiMcHenry—for such was his name—had
ftwo daughters, the pride and enmity of
the whole community. I heard so much
[about them that I was anxious to see them,
fit seemed, however, I was to he disappoint
EU.
When wo arrived I learned the girls
had gone to the party on the other side
of the creek; so I went to bed execrating
the luck which deprived me of seeing
them that night. The night had well ad
vanced when I heard one of the girls
coming home, and passing into the ad
■oiuing room she warmed horsolt before
orne coals which were on the hearth.
iseems the old lady and gentleman slept
the same room which I was not aware
then. Having warmed herself she
•ned to leave the room when the old
n spoke: Girls said he, -the school
stor's in your bed.’
Very well, said Sarah, and passing
ought the room I slept in, went up:
irs. About an hour had elapsed when
beard Judy, the other one come.—
j stood at the door a long time talking
i her sweetheart, then entered softly,
irobing herself, she eutered the room
ere I lay in her stocking feet, carefully
undressed herself, and coming to the bed,
prepared to get in. Now it happened 1
lay in the middle, and turning hack the
clothes, she gave me a shake and said in
a suppressed whisper:
f “Lay over Sarah-’
1 I rolled over and whipped the corner
, of the pillow in my mouth to keep from
fclaughing. In she bounced hut the bed
[would squeak. The old man heard it and '
bcalled out:
| Judy'(
Sir! was the respond from the bed i
| beside me.
‘The schoolmaster’s in that bed.’
I AVith one loud yell, and 0, heaven ! j
she landed on the tloor, aud tied with the
| rapidity of a deer up stairs. She never
I heard the last of that J can tell you.
1, Tiie AVaxer-Spouts of the Gar.at
y Basin.—One of the most remarkable plie
gfnomenaof the great interior basin of western
[ America, between the Sierra Nevada, is
I the water-spouts, or great masses of water
|that fall suddenly out of the clouds, and
Ptear down the valleys like a tornado of
h water. A late A'irgiuia ^Nevada) paper |

“The citizens of Dayton were thrown ;

J n wafer-spout had hurst, and was destroy
ling everything in its maddened course, as

lof wood were carried away as if they wore
< bundles of straw, and it is supposed that
| a number of wood-choppers who reside in
If the canon have been lost, as there were a
I great many persons engaged in wood cutting
| there. This water-spout equals the one
| which occured in Esmeralda county two
j years ago, when a party consisting of Mr.
I 'll ugh Glenn, his wife and mother, were
I then traveling in a carriage. The water
Lepout burst upon them, killing Glenn's
* wife and mother, and destroying the car
I iriage. One of the horses was so badly
i injured that he died shortly after. Last
< week a water-spout broke in Austin,
| (Nevada,) and for a short time the main j
s street was flooded, destroying abode houses,!
: injuring stores, etc. The amount of dam
I age was several thousand dollars- These
| wafer-spouts account for the topographical
S, appearance of the country, which shows
that they have been quite frequent; and
the large boulders that are seen isolated j
. on alkali flats and deserts no doubt have
jf been washed there by water-spouts.”

Old Government Java, sells for less than half
the price.
Osborn's Java Coffee!
Has been Steadily used for years, by thou
sands of persons in all parts of the Country,

Largo Capacity, great strength and
unequalled speed, simplicity and
completeness of operation,
are qualities peculiar to
THE NONPAREIL
hashing fUadtiuc.
It isn Squeezing)Machine construct
ed on strictly mechanical principles, and the
experience derived from five years' extensive
use in families, hotels and public institutions
proves it to be of lasting value to the purchaser.
The manner of operating the Nonpareil, by
rotary motion acting on a crank-shaft (with
balance wheel,) which moves the plungers al
ternately, is the simplest, least laborious, and
most powerful that can be devised for the pur
pose, and accomplishes the work with the
greatest rapidity and the least possible labor.
The great speed with which the machine per
forms work will be understood from the state
ment that it is geared to give six strokes of the
plungers for one. turn of the handle, or, when
worked leisurely, about four hundred strokes
in a minute. Safety to the fabric washed is
insured by the entire absence of rubbing.
A girl or boy of fifteen can work the ma
chine, and do a week's washing for a family
of six or eight persons in two to three hours'
time; and it mag be relied on to cleanse, the.
clothing thoroughly, without assistance from hand
rubbing.
