A Hoy drop of crystal dew Pall from the sky above, And lighting In a flow’ret’s cup It nestled there in love. “’Tie mine!” the joyous blossom cried — “Of mine own.self a part! Nor sun, nor cloud, nor wind, nor rain, Shall force It from my heart!” The morning mists were scattered wide Beneath tbe sun’s warm ray; And In the noonday’s burning glare The dew-drop passed away. A cry of sorrow rent the air— The walling for the dead; The anguish of a stricken heart That weeps Its idol fled. But hark! there sounds a gentle voice, Like some Eolian strain: It speaks to sooth the mourner’s grief, And bid her hope again. “It is not dead—that little gem— The object of thy* love t The sunbeam on glad wings of light Hath carried it above! ” The flow’ret raised her drooping head, As grateful for relief: She listened to the cheering voice, And stilled her selfish grief. There are who mourn a treasure lost— A jewel rich and rare, With which that brilliant drop of dew ’ Twere folly to compare. . To such this word of hope Is given, “Your loved ene did not die, But on some kindly angel’s wing ’Twas carried up on high. And now In rays of purest light . That little sparkling gem Shines like a glorious star within, The Saviour’s diadem.” Philadelphia, April 16th, 1860. .THE INVITATION. Come, sweet Spring, O, come, To thy woodland home, - Where the lonely flower sleeps In the germ that Winter keeps, Snug in the ground, WhiTe the saow he wildly heaps All around. Come, sweet Spring, release, Now thy efforts ease, Till upon the blooming land, Fresh from out the frost’s cold hand, All shall tell of thee;— Clad in robes of thine shall stand, In beauty free. Come, sweet spring, ne’er stay, Why, 0, why, delay! While the songster gently calls. Perched upon the same old walls, Whence one Autumn day,' As the coming' frost appalls, He flew away. Come, sweet spring, draw near, And the weary cheer, O’er whose cheek a pallor sits, O’er whose days a sorrow flits, Ever hov’ring by;— Thine to smooth the. brow that knits With pain e’er nigh. Come, sweet Spring, O, haste, Make the wintry waste Smile beneath the fresh-blown breath, Over forpst, over heath, Making*gladsome, gay; Sing the song of Winter’s death, Sing, nor stay. A VISIT TO WESTMINSTER ABBEY. A LETTER TO A CIIILD. Yesterday we visited Westminster Abbey, The Abbey was completed by Sir Christopber Wren, but commenced long before his time. The stone Was originally of a light buff color, but the atmosphere and smoke of the city have so affected it that it has become very gray—almost black. I Would like to take you into the centre of this building, and watch for a moment to see how you would open your eyes, and almost hold your breath, as you gazed at the lofty arches and vaulted roof, so high that you seem almost to he looking into the sky. Have you never, when walking through a forest in' the noon of a summer’s day, as you gazed at the grand monarchs of the wood, stretching their giant limbs toward the sky, and listened to the suppressed murmurs of thousands of insects and ofairping of birds, now resting from their morning carol, felt a strange awe creeping over you, as t&oUgh you must tread lightly where God in his works was so distinctly seen and heard? Even so I felt on gazing at Westminster Abbey. All around me lay the dust of the mighty dead; — kings, noblemen, bishops, poets, artists, philoso phers, and statesmen. Their names and deeds are recorded on suitable tablets or elaborately carved monuments, with all manner of devices. Here you read of a king who departed-this life A,' D.lOOO, then of a queen who died in a. d. 1200, an archbishop A. D. 1300—then a long list of royal personages who figured largely in the six teenth and seventeenth centuries—names familiar to ns all in history; the eruel Henry VIII.; the unfortunate Queen of Soots, slumbering by her rival, Elizabeth of England, and by her side, also, her sister Mary, and the young King Edward VI., who died at the age of sixteen. Then, in another part of the building, are the names of Handel, Johnson, Newton, Garrick— the poets, Milton, ShakspOare, Cowper, Young, Goldsmith, Thomson, Chaucer, Southey—of statesmen, Pitt, Pox, Canning, Grattan, Wilber foroe, with a host of other names renowned for military exploits. More recently the members of, the loyal family have been buried at Windsor, but the Abbey will probably long continue to be the plaee of sepulture for many of England’s greatest mpn, A. portion of the building is divided into small chapels, set apart and decorated as family toihbs. Some of these are very beautiful, parti etilarly the one called Henry the Seventh’s. In the Abbey, too, are deposited the chairs used at the various coronations of all the kings and qdeeos for many generations. As specimens of handsome furniture, they would hardly bring the firift prize at a London exhibition, but an antiqua riih Would eagerly grasp at them, and no traveller pass& them without inspection. You Will recollect that' this has been the scene of all the coronations. We gazed with interest at the spot. Queen Victoria, then a maiden of only nineteen summers, received from the highest ec elesiastioal dignitary of the realm her Bymbol of royalty, at once investing her fair young head with a nation’s eares and honors. What a scene! We tried, for a mdment, to imagine it. The different memtors of the royal families, near or remotely connected, on either hand,, the high dignitaries of church' and state in their robes of office, the mili tary,gus»rds, the noble band of peers and peeresses, the erdurds of distinguished 1 persons in court cos tume, all with eyes turned to the young, blooming j girl, whom a nation stood ready to welcome as its Queen 1 . Service is performed w the choir of the church every afternoon. During this time strangers are not permitted to walkabout, and must either'leave or attend the service. We lingered for a time to listen to notes of the organ as they reverberated again and again through those lofty arches, and then slowly walked away, querying whether a sight of any of the world-renowned churches on the continent could afford us as much pleasure as our glimpse of time-honored Westminster Abbey. Independent. I WE HAVE GOT A BABY AT OUR HOUSE. The Boston Post is the author of a good story of a bachelor friend: Our friend was riding a day or two ago through Athol, in this State, when he overtook a and boy apparently on their way to school. The little girl appeared to be five or six years old, and was as beautiful as a fairy. Her eyes were lit up with a gleam of intense happiness, and her cheeks glowed with hues of health. Our bachelor looked at her for a moment admiringly. She met his glance with a smile, and with an eager voice sa luted him with, “ Have yon got a baby?". He was struck aback by the question, and something like a.regret stole over his mind as he looked upon the animated and beautiful little face before him. “No," he answered. “Weil," she replied, draw ing her tiny form proudly up, “we have,” and passed on, still smiling, to tell the joyous news to the next one she might meet. What a world of happiness to her was concentrated in that one idea —the baby! And in her joy she felt as if all must have the same delight as herself; and it was a matter of affectionate pride to her that lifted her little heart above the reach of ordinary envy, for in the baby was her world, and what else had she to crave? Such was the reflection of our friend, and he remembered it long enough to tell it yes terday in State Street. THE MEMORY- OF CHILDHOOD. It is wonderful bow these simple, early memories, which lie dormant during those fervid morning hours when tbe soul is doing its forenoon work, come gliding sofitly back as we lie in the noontide shade j weTook backward past the hill of difficulty, the giant’s cave, and all the rugged, broken path to that beautiful meadow-land Of our childhood. Yonder is ttfff roof that sheltered us—whether it be a stately mansion or a one-story brown cottage, weighs little in our afFections now—there is the or chard on the hill-side —its favorite trees aU re membered by name, the little brooklet, whose every turn and eddy is daguerreotyped, here gurgling noiselessly over its pebbles—there spreading it self into a broad shallow, which once looked vast and awful as tbe oceans —there are tbe stepping stones which we crossed with balanced arms and timid misgivings to the cowslip path on the other side —those stepping-stones! how natural they lookl How many little tender bare feet have rested trust ingly thereon, and worn into them a sacred and loving history!—Y onder are the rooks—-the great, fearful, rugged rooks —the kind, hospitable, shel tering rocks, under whose shoulders we have crept in many a shower. But dearer than orchard, and brooklet, the rock, dearer than the cottage whose curling smoke still and forevermore wreathes itself up toward tbe clouds, are the forms of those we loved, father, mother, brother, sister and neighbor. They are all there, and they change not. But these are not the same brothers and sisters that we call by that name now, scattered up and down the earth, divided in interests, but still infinitely dear to us —these that we greet as wo He in the noontide shade, are our own band of child faces, one /amity unchangeable in feature and aspect, immortal in love and youth. Land of our childhood! Beau tiful land! Who tells us that there were thorns in the hedge-rows and briers in the path-way? We remember it not. We see only roses in the hedgerows, and feel only the soft turf under our feet. There are banks of violets for us and prim roses ia the meadows. The forests have borne us a harvest of nuts, and the peach trees invite us to banquet upon them. Come, let us be joyful to gether, for no one can ever rob us of this delight. TEACH THE CHILD TO SING. The Musical Review thus answers the question, “At what age should children commence vocal music ?" A child should be trained to the tones of mu sical sounds, as he is to words, from early infancy. The mother and the father, the nurse,—all three about him are and will be his first instructors,;and if in their teachings they utterly neglect music, much valuable time will be lost—time that can never afterwards be wholly recovered. First, he should he made to hear tones, either vocal or in-- strumental, or both. Very soon, even before he can articulate words, he will begin to imitate them, and will himself produce tones. Simple melodies, chaste and beautiful, united to pure and appropri ate words, should be constantly presented to his car by the mother’s voice. Very soon the child will learn to sing; it will be as it is often called, singing by rote —the only way in which any one, juvenile or adult, can first be taught. If the child has been thus accustomed to hear singing in the nursery till he is eight years old, he will .then sing as readily and as accurately.as he speaks; we be lieve more so. And now is the time to commence learning to read music, as it is to learn to read words. He is now quite as young as in ordinary eases is expedient to acquire a knowledge of mu sical signs of notation. But before this time, at tention should be given to taste in respect to the delivery of both words add tunes; that which is called expression should receive careful attention fromlthe first. But the child should be drained under tbe guidance of common sense, to which it will not be amiss to add a little physiological ex perience. For example, the child should not sing when fatigued, or immediately after eating; there should be regular daily practice, but according to tbe physical strength of the pupil. - After the change of voice, which usually hap pens at fifteen or sixteen years of age, is completed, the vocal exercises. may gradually become more difficult, more severe, more taxing, and with the previous training, a year or so of vocal culture will quite suffice for all the domestic and social pur poses of song. Of course, more time than this will be required, as well as talent, a fine voice, etc., to make the professional vocalist. One thing more; unless one has been taught to use his voice .in singing freely as a child, he will never, in all probability, ever acquire much control over bis vocal organs. If one neglects learning to talk till he is grown up, he will not then findit an easy task. E. J. XT. London. CHILDREN’S CONFIDENCE. The annexed article (copied from Life Illus trated) we commend to the perusal of parents. It contains good practical advice; “Do you want to learn how to make the chil dren love you? Do you'want the key that will unlock the innermost recesses of their natures? Then sympathize with.them always. Never allow yourself to ridicule any of their little secrets. Never say, ‘Oh, pshaw I’ when they come to show you a new kite or marvellous top, and ‘I can't be troubled,’ when the hard knot won’t be untied, and two and two obstinately refuse to make four on their little slates. Kites and knots are only the precursors of older thoughts and deeper trials which the parents may one day.plead. in vain to share! Don’t laugh at any of a Child’s ideas, how ever-odd or absurd they may seem to you; let them find your sympathy ready in all their won derments and aspirations. Is there any man so wise in his own conceit as to have forgotten that there was a time once when he, also, was a child? The little folks are too much crowded out in this world; people generally seem to think they ean be put in anywhere, or made to eat anything, or crammed into any out-of-the-way corner, to amuse themselves anyhow. We don’t agree with these cross-grained wiseacres. Children'have just as much right to the car window and easy seat as anybody. It don’t take much'to make a child love you and trust in you, and the benefits to him are absolutely incalculable. Oh, how much bet ter it is for children to bring all their cares aud troubles and temptations under the gentle eye of a wise parent! What a safeguard it is for them to feel that there is always a kind ear to listen to their doubts and grififs, and a gentle shoulder for their little heads to nestle against! Respect their rights; never think you can say bitter things in their presence, or do unjust actions. They are the finest discriminators of fair and unfair ip the world. Somebody says: ‘When you are inclined i to be cross with children for being slow to learn, ' just try a moment to write with your left hand. See how awkward; it proves/and then remember i that .with children ; itis all left hand!’ I .Preserve JmeticMfi; 1 0 bgtirnn and wt (lyanplist. ns from those precocious infants who spring up ready-made philosophers and casuists; cherry cheeked little orphans are infinitely preferable. Above all, do not be ashamed to let -them know that you love them. Remember, they will be men and women some day, and the slightest word which may influence their future lives should be come a thing of moment in our eyes.” THE MOTHER MOULDS THE MAN- That it is the mother who moulds the man, is a sentiment beautifully illustrated by tbe follow ing recorded observation of a shrewd writer: “ When I lived among the Choctaw Indians, i held a consultation with one of their chiefs, re specting the successive stages of their progress in the arts of civilized life; and, among other things, he informed me that at their start they made a great mistake—they only sent boys to school. These boys came home intelligent men, but they, married uneducated and uncivilized wives—and the uniform result was tbe children were iill like their mothers. The father soon lost all his inte rest both in wife and children. ‘ And now/ said he f if we would educate but one class of our children, we should choose the girls; for when they become mothers they educate their sons.’” This is the point, and it is true. No nation can become fully enlightened when mothers are not in a good degree qualified to discharge the, duties of the home-work of education. LADY MORGAN AND YOUNG LADIES. In a tete-a-tete conversation on the subject of some young ladies who had been suddenly bereft of fortune, Lady Morgan said with an emphatic wave of her dear old green fan: “They do every thing that is fashionable imperfectly; their sing ing, and drawing, and dancing, and languages amount to nothing. They were educated to mar ry,.and had there been time they might have gone off with, and, hereafter from, husbands. They cannot earn their own salt; they do not eyen know how to dress themselves. I desire' to give every girl, no matter what her rank, a trade—a profes sion, if the word pleases you better; cultivate what is necessary in the position she is born to; culti vate all things in moderation, but one thing to perfection, no matter what it is, for which she-has a talent—drawing, music, embroidery, housekeep ing even; give her a staff to lay hold of, let her feel ‘this will carry me through life without de pendence.’ I was independent at fourteen, and never went in debt.” PRESCOTT’S HABITS. “His habits were methodically exact; retiring early and ever at the same hour, he rose early alike in winter and in summer at the appointed moment, rousing himself instantly, though in the soundest sleep, at the first note of his alarm bell; never giving indulgence to lassitude or delay. To the hours which he gave to his pursuits he adhered as scrupulously as possible, never lightly, suffering them to be interfered with; now listening to his reader; now dictating what was to-be written; now using his own eyes sparingly for reading; now writing by the aid of simple machinery devised for those who are in darkness; now passing time in thoughtfully revolving his great theme. For this reason, at the period of bis life when he rode much on horseback —and when he was an excellent and fearless rider—it was his choice and his habit to go out alone; and in his stated exercise on foot, you might be sure that, when by himself, his mind was shaping out work for the rest of the day.” Mr. Bancroft described the personal appearance of Mr. Prescott as follows: “His personal appearance itself was singularly pleasing, and won for him everywhere in advance a welcome and favor. His countenance had some thing that brought to mind “the beautiful dis dain" that hovers on that of the Apollo. But, while he was gentle, and humane. His voice was like music, and one could never hear enough of it. His cheerfulness reached and animated all about him. He could indulge in playfulness, and could also speak earnestly and profoundly; but he knew not how to be ungracious or pedantic. In truth, the charms of his conversation were unequalled, he so united the rich stores of memory with the case of one who is familiar with the world.” EASILY AMUSED. The French seem to us to be in general a na tion of children—amused with the smallest thing?, “pleased with a rattle and tickled with a straw.” They will stop in the street, and stand gazing with the greatest interest on two dogs at play, or. some thing as trivial as that. We have seen fullrgrown men playing at ball with children, in the garden of the Tuilieries on a Sunday, and enjoying the game quite as much as the children. Men and women patronize, with the greatest delight, those dizzy arrangements found in all .places of-public resort, those wooden .horses which go arpjind in a oirele by means of a crank. It is well known with what facility a crowd.can be collected,in, Paris. Qne has but to stop, and point at anything, aud lie will be immediately surrounded. We were much amused, the other evening, by an illustration of this, which we saw in the Passage des Panoramus on the Boulevards. A large crowd, almost block ing up the passage, Had collected before the win dow of a confectioner’s shop. We stopped, of course, thinking that there must be some thing im portant to attract so many people, but we looked in vain for the cause. We inquired of several per sons, but they seemed to be no wiser than ourselves. On pushing up near the window, and still making inquiries, we were pointed to a tall, fine-looking, lady who was making, purchases in the shop, and whose sole singularity seemed to be, that she bad, a dress very long behind, or “ un grande queue,” as a Frenchman remarked.. She occasionally glanced out of the window at the crowd, and appeared em barrassed by so much attention. At last she finished her purchase and left the shop by a door on the other side. The crowd then dispersed with expressions of disappointment, that she did not emerge by the front door. It was certainly a case of aggravated curiosity. ' The shop; windows, are a great source of amuse ment to thp French, and they are well worth, look ing at. Almost all the stock shop is gene rally exposed in the window. Ornjis not ashamed, fearing to hfe considered green, as in New 'Jork, if be stop arid examine; The exhibitions of this; kind in the Palais Royal, and ori the Boulevards, have been especially brilliant during the Christmas and New Year’s season. Besides the regular shops, there were all along the Boulevards, during the time, numerous 1 little booths erected on the edge of the sidewalk, exposing for sale all sorts of toys for “etrennes,” or gifts. On Christmas and New Years’ days, which, happened on Sunday, the Boulevards, with their gay, holiday appearanee— the laughing, chattering, happy crowd, which was a crowd indeed—the shouts of the keepers of the booths, attracting attention to their wares—the in vitations of travelling venders—all formed a scene very lively, and very strange to an American who happened to recollect what day Of the week it was. Cor. Springfield Republican. THE FLOWER GARDEN. As to situation, the flower garden should be, if possible, gently inclined to the East or South, and never to the West: or North, if such :an exposure can be avoided. A flat garden,-or one with steep descent, is not desirable. In most cases,'however, thcre.can be no choice about the situation. The soil should be deep, neither heavy nor. light, and moderately rich. If wet, it should by all means be well drained. , ' , The walks should be formed of such materials as will always afford dry walking. At the bottom should be six inches of small stones, oyster or clam shells, broken bricks or similar substances, Covered with several inches of good clean gravel. They should be six feet wide for main walks, and three or four feet for. the remainder. If the garden be very small, the walks should all be straight, and ■ the arrangement formal; if on a larger scale, they should be winding, and a more natural and easy design adopted. The edgings for ihe flower-beds may "be of gra«s, cut six inches to a foot in width, box, thrift, dwarf ins, or similar plants. In selecting the situation for a flower garden, eare should be taken that it should exposed to the view from the-windows of that part ot the house most used by the family, so that m case of bad weather, the pleasures of the garden may be still enjoyed to some extent. No large trees should be allowed o n the grohnd allotted to the flower gar den, as they injure plants by their foots, shade and drip. Almost all jihnts require a full exposure, during a great partm? the day, to the rays of the sun Worth Knowing— Transplanting Trees. —lf the commissioner, of ; the Central Park would give strict orders to mark the north side of the trees with red chalk- before they were taken up, and when set out to have the tree put in the ground with its north side Jo the north in its "natural position, a larger pr.oporfiou would live. Ignoring this law of nature, is the cause of so many trans planted trees dying. 1 If the 'north side is exposed to the south, the heat of the sun is too great for that side of the tree to bear, and therefore it dries up and decays. j TDOTE FOR ARSENIC.—M.

NATIONAL MUSIC. The power of music has been felt in all ages, It gave rise to the ancient story of Orpheus and Amphion. and it has kept pace with all advances towards civilization. As its varying strains have floated through the their animation has led the hero and. the heroine on to victory, their sweetnes - h ~ soothed, the troubled spirit, and their tenderness softening the natural; heart and awakening some pure and gentle emotions, has afforded a lasfe Uf:|(!fcrci;nty joys; - -Natiros;which have made the greatest progress in this science and art, possess the most enduring source of hap piness, and are the most radiant with genial influ ences upon surrounding nations. * Diversities, in national music, which are ob served, by every student of history, and- felt by every traveller, are .due to a corresponding diffe rence in the, circumstances, of nations. The tem pest, the mournfulJsigb of, the coming storm, or the roar of its furyj(and the deep, angry, and in cessant roll of the Ocean; constantly falling upon the ear, give rise to the most stirring modulations; while th< ong of birds and the busy hum of in sects, the prevalent sounds of nature, the breeze and the purling stream, and the absence of striking scenqry beget those gentler emotions which are expressed in. the pleasing, yet heart-touching, met lody. Great must. be the contrast, between the music coming from the sunny plains of Lombardy and that rising from the awful scenery of. the Alps, or the wild the Northern, Seas. Italy is : appropriately called the “land'of song.” Its clear, el.astic genial climate give flexibi lity and clearness © the voice. is sim ple, yet passionate; Whilst that of Germany is profound, complicated, grand and sentimental.

He works at very great disadvantage. When a man has hard work to do, he naturally rids himself of all unnecessary ligatures, clothing, and weights.
