And a light from the'dim old Ps.st, coming down Through the misty night, ia around them thrown. And glimmers upon thein all. We walk among them, and scarce can see Through the midst of blinding tears; There are genjs of beauty, cankered by rust, And rarest jewels covered with dust— The treasures of vanished years. There are faces, and voices, and glances, and song* Sung in life's early day; There s a father s blessing, a mother's prayer •God sare n.y ehitdt'—as sho breathed it there, And gently passed away. There s a house by the brook, with its rusty porch, And the shady elms at the door; i here are children s voices that sung tiiero with glee, And one—oh! how sweet was the melody, Ere death swept the harp-strings o'er! There's the ineadow-path where we loved to walk, When the toil of the day was o'er. With no one beside us. Oh! how we yearn For the loved and the dead who may not return, With smiles to greet us more ! Oh! many and rich are the treasures that lie In Memory's secret cell! And voices come sounding sad and low. From the shadowy realms of the 'Jongago,' Like songs from some fairy shell. mSLELMIEOUI, From Godey's Lady's Book. HOW FIVE BACHELORS KEPT HOUSE. BY MAIIY CLARKE. It was p wartii ev Cr.icg in early June and in the parior of a pleasant house in street, in the handsom city of Phil adelphia, a merry party of young folks were holding a warm, laughing discussion. Susy Arnold, the young hostess, who kept house for her brothers, Ilarry and George, took one side of the question, while three other gentlemen, beside her tall brothers, opposed her. Charles Gray, a blue-ey<M curly-hcaded man, whose fair, round face and boyish air formed an ap parent contradiction to the assertion fcs made of having five years before attained his majority ; Joe Norris, who from a Span ish mother inherited jetty hair and eyes, and pale complexion, and from his father, a tall, hue figure and a frank ingenious ex pression; and Milton Dacres, whose small figure and bashfull ways, accounted fully for his nickname Minnie; these three, with the masters of the house, waged playful war upon tho little brown-eyed maiden who sat so upor. j&esofa. ' Say what youjdease,' s&U Susy, 'you will never convince uie of the superiority of man in the capacity of housekeeper.' ' But I maintain,' said Joe, ' that men can keep house without women, but jthat women can not do so unless we will asist them.' ' For instance,' .said Ilarry, 'when your hired girl was sick last winter, Sue, how would gush a as you have brought up coal, kept up the funjace £re, and lift ed about weod, unless your two brothers had gallantly relieved you of the care ?' 'Not to mention that the furnace fire went out three' ' A truce,' said George laughing. ' That was my fault, but accidents will happen in the best regulated families/ ' 1 only wish you could keep house ; for I would accept Aunt Jane's invitation to travel with her this summer, were it not for leaving you.' ' I have an idea' cried Charles Gray— an idea which, if you will agree to act upon it, shall fully cure the women of the insane notion of their indispensability—ahem ! that word nearly choked me.' The uugallant sentence should have quite strangled you,' said Susy. ' Present company always excepted,' was the reply. ' The idea ! let's have the idea.' ' Suppose we keep house here, while Miss Susy travels.' ' Here!' cried Susy, aghast. ' Yes, why not ?' ' But,' said Susy,' I'm sure Jenny would not stay.' 'We don't want her; we want no wo men.' Visions of muddy boots on her parlor so fas, cigars in the flower vases, pipes on the centre tables, spittoons in the best bed-room, and frying pans in the library, flitted through the young lady's mind ; but before she could remonstrate, Harry said— 'So be it! Horrah for bachelor's hall. Pack up your trunk, Susy!' ' h\it Harry*— ' Glorious 1 cried Charles, ' not a petti coat within the doors for a month/ ' But,' again said poor Susy. ' No fusses about tobacco smoke in the curtains,' chimed in George. ' But, brother' — ' Won't it be gay? said Minnie. ' Gay V groaned the little housekeeper. ' Lay in a supply of cigars, George/ sug gested Joe. ' When do you go, Miss Susy.' ' Monday, then ! We will come, bag and baggage, on Monday morning/ With many a flourish, amidst the gayest jokes, George wrote out a solemn contract, by which they bound themeselves to ask do service of any kind at a woman's band WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, 1862. for one month from the date of the follow ing Monday, June, XStJO, and all put their signatures to the important document.— Susy, seeing that her brothers were really in earnest, tried to think that she was glad to go, and added her laughing directions to the |many scheme? proposed. At a late hour the conclave broke up, and Susy re tired with a head full of sore misgivings. Monday morning rose faiy and clear.— Six o clock saw Susy drive away from the door in a carriage, the trunk strapped be hind, the lady s pretty travelling dress and the shawl of her cousin and caviliea all be speaking travel. Susy saw the servant de part to spend a month with her mother in the country. Nine o'clock witnessed the meeting of the youug bachelors. 'Now then,' said George, after the first greetings were over, ' I, as the eldest host, will take charge to-day. As Susy says, when are you going down town ?' ' I have pcthfog to do fo day, so I'll stay to assist you,' said Minnie.' ' Thank you.' ' What's for diuner ?' said Joe, trying to look like the head of a respectable family, and failing most deplorably in the attempt. ' Yoifll 3ee at three o'clock.' ' Is that the hour V c \es,' said George, 'and remember I wait for no one. Punctuality is the soul of dinner, as somebody once sa>d before I mentioned the fact.' Having seen the others off, George and Minnie went into the library for a smoke, to prepare them tor the Herculean task be fore them. 'See,' sai.d George, producing a cook book ' we are safe.' ' Mrs. Hale ! that's a woman 1' cried Min nie. ' Whew ! never once thought of that.— We will stick to the contract. My dear madom, I am sorry'to appear rude, but I must show you back to the book case.' 'What's for dinner,' said Minnie. ■ Roast lamb, potatoes, green peas, aspar agus, and strawberries.' 'That'll do. don't you have to shell peas or something V ' Yes that's easy enough.' ' It's awful hot,, said Minnie, after a short silence. ' Horrid V ' Suppose we sheli the peas up here.— It's cooler here than in the kitchen. I suppose there's a fire there ?' ' Of course.' ' I'll go bring them up.' ' They're in a basket on the table. Just leave the rest of the things davn there.' Shelling peas was rcpid work, even for unaccustomed fingers, but it is a matter of taste whether the thorough smoking they had from the actively puffed cigars improved their flavor. ' Now, what do you do with them,' said Minnie. 'There ain't fciany of then;.,' he added, as he looked at the little green balls rolling about at the bcttorp of the huge market basket and then eyed the large pile cFshells on the floor. ' You boil then;, of course,' was the answer of George. ' Oh ! suppose we go down.' ' Well, come along,' said George, taking up the basket. The fire burned brightly; Jennie had left all in good order, and the prospect was not bad for the amateur cooks. ' W hat do you boil them in, George V ' Oh, anything.' ' But where is it V ' In some of the closets, 1 guess.' Susy would surely have fainted could she have seen jthe overhauling of her neat ly arranged closets that followed. ' This ?' Minnie dragged forth a pot large enough te boil about twenty pounds of meat in. 'Yes/ In they went, unwashed. ' Hot water and cold/ ' Either.' 'All right; that's done.' ' Now the asparagus; how do you fix it/ ' I wonder if you roast mutton in this thing!' said George, nolding up a large pudding dish. ' I guess so. Put it in the oven, don't you ?' ' Y-e-e-s.' George determined to find a book on cookery written by a man, the very next day. 1 You boil asparagus, don't you George?' ' Yes, here's a tin thing that' 3 Icr.g and shallow; I guess that's for such things/ And a dripping pan came forth from the closet. The asparagus fitted iu like a charm, a3 both men declared, and water was added and all set on the range. The mutton next went, on the pudding dish, into the oven. ' Come let's go up stairs again ; it's fear fully hot here/ said George. But the dinner ?' ' Oh, that's got nothing to do but to cook until three o'clock/ ' Oh, George, here's the potatoes ?' Another pot was procured, and the po tatoes, with about two gallons of water to the half peek of Murphies, put on the fire. Smoking, chatting, reading, and a little practice on the violin, filled up the morn ing, though George declared it was horrid slow, and Minnie wondered what on earth women did themselves. Half past two brought home three hun gry men to dinner. J.caving the cooks to • dish up,' they all adjourned to the parlor to cook themselves. That it was dusty there, was Dot noticed. .Jennie had made the beds before she left, but dusting the parlor was Susy's work, and her early start had prevented her from doing it ' George'—Minnie's voice was rather doleful. ' What! ? ' The fire is out.' ' Gut!' ' I wonder ifan/thing is cooked ?' 'The asparagus is burnt fast to the pan.' ' So is the meat!' The potatoes!' ' Broken all tq pieces, floating about in the water.' 'The peas are all mushy, Miunig!' ' Punctuality is the soul of dinner,'cried Joe, froii fhfi parlor; it's ten minutes past three.' ' Go set the table,' growled George. It was unique in its arrangements, that table, as the gentlemen sat down to dinner. The meat figured on an enoriaogs dish, with au ocean of white china surrounding it shrunken proportions. The potatoes, in little lumps, unskined, were piled up in a fruit dish; the green pass which Minnie £ad with indefinite difficult fished from the meat pot, was served on a red earthern plate, and the stalks of asparagus were in the salad bowl! The tablecloth was away, and the napkins were omitted altogether. ' Where's the gravy,' was Joe's first question. ' There wasn't fi.ny.' ' The meat is burned,' cried one voice. ' It's stone cold,' cried another. 'What is tcis V said another, digging into the pile of peas. ' Faugh !' followed a daring attempt to eat some asparagus. ' Never pind/ said Joe. < Home was not built in a day.' Give us some bread and butter, and pickles, George.' 'No, not pickles, preserves,'said Char ley.' 'Susy locked both up,'said Harry, laugh ing. 'She declared a'woman put them up, and that if we wanted them we must pre pare them for ourselves.' Minnie produced the strawberries and some sugar, and the gentlemen declared they had dined superbly. ' Von fellows clear away,' satd Minnie, 'we're tired.' 'You wash up, don't you " queried Joe 'Yes.' 'Where's the water?' 'ln the hydrant.' 'Wlvat do you wash 'em in ■' 'Pan, I guess.' Away went Joe on a voyage of investi gation. .and returned soon" with a tin dish full of cold water. The 'leavings/ as Harry termed the remains of the sumptu ous dinner, were thrown from the window into Susy s jlower beds, and armed with a bar of soap and a fine damask table napkin, Joe began to wash up. 'How the grease sticks?' Perspiration streaming from every pore, he rubbed manfully at the greasy plates and dishes, and if the water was cold, he certainly was not. 'I have wet my shirt front!' Splash No. 1. 'Good for white pants !' Splash No. 2. '■That weut into my eyes;somebody wipe this, my hands are wet. Don't rub them out, Hal!' The table was cleared at last. Five damp, greasy napkins thrown into a corner of the room, testified that the dishes were washed and wiped. The water followed the leavings, and the quintet sat down to cool ofi. (Do oigfrs assist tfcatoperation?) Spite of the superb dinner, five ' inner men called, like Oliver Twist, for more, at abou.t 7 o'clock. 'What's for tea?' Four voices echoed it. 'Let's have coffee; I can make coffee,' said George. 'Apd a steak; I can cook it,' cried Joe. 'There's bread and butter,' said Harry. George went for the steak ; Minnie un dertook to make the fire; Harry cut the bread; Joe set the tabic; while Charley cleared the kitchen by sweeping the pots and pans used at dinner in a closet, wash ing being omitted in the operation. Minnie, blowing and puffing making the fire, was saluted with— ' How it smokes!' 'What ails this fire, Min ?' Ilarry discovered the cause, pulled out the damper, and a merry blaze repaid him. The coffee boiled, the steak sputtered in the pan, and the men panted, perspired, whistled, and used improper words over the heat. ft was a good supper, and piling up the dishes —ft was too hot to wash—the five bachelors returned to the parlor. It was involuntary, but each pair of eyes rested for a moment on the seat Susy was wont to occupy. A little music, more talk ing, and still more smoking filled the time till midnight, when each one yawned him self off to bed. Harry, who was the one to lock up, was tjie latest. The kitchen looked dreary; no fire, greasy frying pan placed as a helmet over the coflee pot, bits of bread lying about loose, dirty pots here and dirty dishes there. The parlor in dis order; chairs stood in forlorn coufusion ; smoke hung over ail. The dining room, with its pilee of dirty enp saucers and plates, its unswept floor, greasy napkins, and smoky almqsphere, was wofst of )1, and Harry inwardly admitted that somehow the house did not look as comfortable as usuaj. There was f'uu the next morning making up the beds. The milkman and baker had vainly knocked for admittance, and finally Tctitgd iu disgust, and the bachelors break fasted off the stale bread left from the night s feast, and the coffee black and sweet. Every man clear up his own room.' The order given, each started to obey. .Joe pulled oft the clothes from his bed. and having laid tfie bolster and pillow on, proceeded tq put on first a blanket, next a spread, and fiually the two sheets, finishing cfi the whole by putting himself on the top to rest from his toils. Minnie, after pul ling all ths clothes off one sde in trying to tuck them in cu the other, and then cor recting the mistake by tucking them in on the other side and pulling them off the first, put his bolsters op qyer the pillow, and con cluded it would do. Charley merely smooth ed his down, sagely observing that if he pulled the things off he never could put them on again. Ilarry and George, who shared the same room, having followed Charley's plan, put on an extra touch by sweeping the room, and leaving a pile of dust lying in the middle of the entry. Three day's experience convinced them that bachelors' cookery was slow starvation. Steaks and coffee for breakfast were follow ed by coffee and steaks for dinner, and both for tea. Char'ey suggested that they should have their meals scot from a restau rant. 'All men cooks, so we stick to the con tract,' was his final observation. The motion was seconded and carried by a unanimous vote. By this time every dish, plate, napkin, pot and pan in the house was dirty, and jcj'fully concluding that they wouldn't want them any more, the gentlemen piled them up in the kitchen sink, on the floor and ta ble and left them. 'Harry'—it was George's yoice—'Haven't got a clean shirt.' 'Nor U 'Nor I.' •Nor 1..' 'l've got one.' 'Nor a handkerchief, nor a collar, nor a pair of stockings, nor—' '§top ! Two weeks since Susy went, and no washing day!' There was a dead silence. 'Who knows how to wash ?' No answer. 'l—l've seen it done,' Baid one faint voice, owned by Charley. 'Y'ou soap the things and rub 'em on a board.' 'Can anybody iron ?' They all thought they could manage that part. The kitchen was opened for the first time for ten days. One cry burst from five lips. Tables, chairs, floor, dresser, sink, were one mass of roaches, collected by the greasy dishes. They overran every piace. 'Shut the door. Now for it,' cried George, and dashed at the invaders. Bedlam seem ed to have broken loose. In reaching after one of the 'critters' Charley upset the table. Crash went tha crockery. Screams of laugh ter, cries of disgust, blows thick as hail, comments on the heat, jokes, warnings flew about for an hour, and then the panting party ceased from fheir labors, and viewed sternly the ' cold corpuses' of their foes. A scream from Minnie— ' There's one down my back ?' George cried —'Jce, there's one on your hair!' 'Don't mention it. Look at the fellow on your shirt sleeve.' A general stampede for the bath room followed. ' Let's wash up here,' No sooner said than done. The soiled clothes were collected from all the rooms, and the boards and soap brought up from the kitchen. Joe and Harry washed, blistering hands and streaming foreheads testifying to their efforts—Cold water required a great deal of rubbing, and somehow the things had a yellow tinge after all, as George rem irked as he rung them out. Minnie objecting to going into the yard, hung them over the chairs in the dining room and the banis ters in the entry as fast as George and Charley wrung them out. Dinner time came and found thejn still at work. Din ner eaten, the dishes carried off by the waiter from the restaurant, they changed places, and the washers wrung and hung up, while the others washed. Six o'clock saw the last shirt hanging in damp limpness over the parlor chande lier ; the handkerchiefs waved from the mantlepiece, and the stockings dangled from the bars of the Canterbury. ' They always iron the next day, so they can dry in the night,' said Harry. After another slaughter of roaches in the morning the fire was lighted, the irons put en, and the clothes collected, rough, dry, for the final touches. Every man had vis ions of smooth, clean linen to repay him for his unaccustomed efforts. Such is hope! Charley took the first step. Planting his iron on the front of a shirt, a smell greeted his nostrils, and he lifted it again to behold a large brown mark, the precise shape of the flat-iron, burned on the bosom of his 'go to meeting, shirt.' Minnie's iron, being almost cold, was travelling New Series—Vol. XVI, No. 27, briskly up and down his shirt, but produ cing no visible effect. It was humiliatiug but true, that Joe took an order to a gentleman's furnishing store that morning for a supply of linen, and the 1 washed clothes' were consigned to the 1 pot closet' to await Susy,s return. Susy's return ! How can I describe if.! Eyery man on that day found he'had an imperative engagement abroad, ana the tie maiden found an empty house. She went first to the parlor. Dust lay in piles. One curtain was torn from the cornice, and lay in limp folds against the window. Cigars lay about loose, some whole, some half smoked, some reduced to a mere stump; spittoons were in every corner; the chairs were ' promiscusly deranged; on the cent er table three bottles, two demijohns, & pack of cards, and about two dozen tum blers replaced her pretty books. The pi ano bore two pairs of boots, deposited there when the owners were too tired to go up stairs, and forgotten afterwards; the Cant erbury had a dish of chicken salad repos ing peacefully upon it;cn<? ottoman sup ported a hat and cane, another a coat; every chair can ied some relic of the departed guests here a handkerchief, there a cigar case, on one a pocket comb, on another a toothpick. Susy was dismayed ; but, like a brave little woman, determined to face fill 1 the muss,' at once. The kitchen came next. As we have described it on the eventful ironing day, so it remained, roaches inclusive, me andering everywhere. The library was next in order, and was the counterpart of the parlor, only more so; dining room dit to , bed rooms to match. Susy looked at the washboards in the bathroom, the market basket in the bath room, the parlor chairs in the kitchen, (' It was the nearest,' Joe said when they brought tb.sja put;) the frying pan in the bedroom, (Charley broke his basinf) the bread pan iu the spare room (' for dirty water' Joe said;) the dish clothes in the bed rooms (towels all dirty.) She contem plated the fioors, unswept for a month ; marked the dust, the accumulation of i similar time, and then weut to her own room, the only orderly, because untouched place in the house. A little note lay on the ta ble: 'We own the beat! It takes a woman ! We beg pardon! We'll dq so po more 1 Clear up, and invite us to dinner. FIVE REPENTANT BACHELORS' The First Printed Book. It is a remarkable and most interesting fact, says a secular paper, that the very first use to which the discovery of printing was applied was the production of the Bible. This was accomplished at Mentz, between the years 1450 and 1455. Guttenbprg was the inventor of the art, apd JVpst, a gold smith, furaished the necessary funds. Had it been a single page or an entire sheet, which was then produced, there might have been less occasion to have noticed it; but there was something in the whole charac ter of the affair which, if not unprecedent ed, rendered it singular in the current of human events. This Bible was in two fo lio volumes, which have been justly praised for the beauty and strength of the y 'per, the exactness of the register, and the lus tre of the ink. The work contained twelve hundred and eighty-two pages, and being the first ever printed, of course involved a long period of time, and an immense amount of mental, manual and mechanical labor; and yet, for a long time after it had been finished and offered for sale, pot a single human being, save the artists themselves, knew how it had been accomplished. Of the first printed Bible, eighteen cop ies are now known to be in existence; four of which are printed on yellum. Two of these are in England, one being in the Grenville collection ; one is ip the Royal Library at Berlin; and one in the Royal Li brary of Paris; of the remaining fourteen copies, ten are in England—there being a copy in Oxford, Edinburgh, London, and seven in the collection of different noble men. The vellum copy has been sold as high as eight hundred dollars.— Weekly Argus. The meaning of 'Hurrah !' —A great many people have shouted' Hurrah!' 'many a time and oft,' but comparatively few know its derivation and primary meaning. It originated among the Eastern nations, where it yeas used as a war cry—from the belief that every man who died in the bat tle for his country went to heaven. It is derived from the Scalvonic word 'Hurrag,' which means 'To Paradise. British Mines. —An English writer esti mates that from the various mines of Great Britain a total annual product of over $207,- 000,000 is obtained. Some of the coal mines are sunk to an enormous depth —one at Duckenfield being 2,504 feet deep. A copper mine at Jpesayean is 2,180 feet deep. Many other tin and copper mines are ap proaching tbeee depths; and under the At lantis waves, in BotaTlack, Levant, and oth er mines, man is daily pursuing his under ground labors at a half a mile from the shore.
