EVENING STAR. WHAT I* TH4T, MOTHTB ? *t ?uxor What U that. M?*h?; The lark, ay child! The morn ha* but just looked oat snd smiled. When lie starts from Ins humMe, graeey ne*l And u up and away, wi h the dew in lus bn-iwt And a hvmn in hi* heart, to yon. pure hnfht sphere, To warble it oat hi hi* Maker's ear. Ever, mv child, b> thy momma lay* Tuned, like the lark's, to thy Maker'* praise. What u that. Mother' The dove, my son ! And that low. sweet voice, like a widow "s moan. < Is flowing out from her g?ntle breast Constant and parr, by that lonel> neat. As the wave is poured from wme crystal uru; For her distant dear one's quick return. ETer, my son, be th n like the dove; In friendship as faithful, as eonetant In love ! What is that. Mother Tho eagle, boy! Proudly rvecrin* his course of joy; Finn, on his own mountain vigor relying, Briasnru the dark storm, the red bolt defying ? I lis wine o i the wind, and his eye in the sua, He swerv-s not a hair, but b?ar* onward, right on. Bov. mav the eajle's flight ever be thine. Onward, and upward, and true to the line. What u that. Mother t The swart, my love! He is flea in* down from his native grov? No lowd or<? now, no nestliiur nigh, He is fr<atm; down by hiinstlf to die. Death datk. n* his eye and unplume-? his wings, Yet his sweetest song is the Ia<t he sings. Live so, my love, that when d atb shall some. Swan-like and ?weet. it may waft thee home! Tfli Idler.?The idle man Is an an noyance?n nuisance. He is of no bene fit to any body. IT* k> an intrusion in the busy thorough!*?-' of every day life, lie stauds in our pat., and we push him contemptuously aside. He is of no ad vantage to any body. He annoys busy men. lie makes them unhappy. He is a unit in society. He may have an in come to support him in idleness, or he may " sponge" on bis good-natured friends. Uut in either case he is despised. Young men, do something in this busy, bustling, wideawake world. Move about for the benefit of mankind, if not for yourself. Do not be idle, God's law is that by the sweat of our brow we shall ?arn our bread. That law is a good one, and the bread we tat is sweet. Do not be idle. Minutes are too precious to be squandered thoughtlessly. Every man and every woman, however exalted or however humble, can do good in this short life if so inclined; therefore do not be idle.?Fireside Journal. QncK Digbstioh?Healthy Food.? Of all the articles of food, boiled rice is digested in the shortest time?an hour. As it contains eight teuths nutritious i:latter, it is a valuable substance. Snipe and p:gs feet are digested almost as quickly. Apples, if sweet and ripe, are next in order. Venison is digested about as soon as apples. Roasted potatoes are digested m half the time requirtd by the vegetables boiled, which occupy more than three and a half hours; more than beef or mutt- n. IJroad occupies three jiud a quarter hours; shewed oysters and boiled eggs arc digested in three and a hall hours, an hour mere than is required by the sam*- article raw. Turkey and goose arc converted in two and hall hours, an hour and a half sooner than chicken^. Roasted veal, pork and salted beef occupy live and a half hours, the longest of all articles of food.?Scientific Amencnu. Getting Excited.?The editor of the Portsmouth Chronicle thus commences a leader: '? The signa of the times are ommou*. The world is turning over very fast. "Wisdom sprouts out of sap head*, like toad stools from a manure h^-ap. We shall soon Fee wonders. Won't it be a glorious tune when all the girls wear breeches, and gn a rourting ?

A bid received after time, via: 3 p m oi the 16th May, 1855, or without the gu?Tanty required by law. or that combines several routes in one sum ol compensation, cannot be considered in comi*-tition with a regular proposal reasonable in amount. 12.
