Ah 1 my heart is weary waiting, Waiting for the May. 1 Ahl my heart is si®k with longing, Longing for the May- Longing to escape from study, To the fair young face and ruddy, And the thousand charms belonging To the summer day: Ah! my heart is sick with longing, Longing for the May. * Ah! my heart is sore with sighing, Sighing for the May— Sighing for their sure returning, When the summer beams are burning, Hopes and flowers that dead or dying All the winter lay: Ah! my heart is sore with sighing, Sighing for the May. * Ahl my heart is pained with throbbing, Throbbing for the May— Throbbing for the seaside billows, Or the water-wooing willows, Where in laughing and in sobbing, Glides tbe stream away: Ah! my heart, my heart is throbbing, Throbbing for the May. ‘ Waiting, sad, dejected, weary, Waiting for the May— Spring goes by with wasted warnings, Moonlight evenings, sunbright mornings: Summer comes, yet, dark and dreary, Life still ebbs away: Man is ever weary, weary, Waiting for the May. — D. Fbrence MacCarthy. THE TOUNO COLLECTOR. My first experience in collecting money for foreign missions! The name that headed my list was ‘ Mrs. John Wylie.’ As I ran up the granite steps that lead to her beautiful home, I pleased myself with the thought that here I should receive a large sum, perhaps twenty or even thirty dollars, for the Wylies are one of the wealthiest families in Brookfield. I was obliged to wait in the drawing-room a full half-hour for the lady to appear, but the time passed quickly enough, as I had an opportunity to study the fine paintings that adorn the walls. At length Mrs. Wylie came down with a slight apology for having detained me so long; and here I must con fess that, as I observed her elegant dress, so admirably corresponding with the furniture and adornments of her drawing-room, I was, for a moment, so foolish and wicked as to wish that my lot in life was like hers—that my home was as luxurious, and that I might dress as my fancy dictated, without being compelled to count every dollar. I made known my errand without hesita tion, and waited a moment for the response of which I felt so confident. But it came not. I I never contribute to missions’ said Mrs. Wylie coldly. ‘I do not approve of giving money to go no one knows whither. I be lieve Mr. Wylie gives a trifle; you must go to him, Miss Allison,’ How she chilled me to the very heart! I had not a single word to say—not one argu ment to offer in behalf of the poor 1 heathen, but with a silent bow I left her and went out into God’s sunlight, thanking him that he had withheld riches from me, if their posses t ion would make me selfish or proud. My next stopping-place was at Mrs. Al ly’s. I found her in her nursery surround < d by her children; there are five of them, including the baby, who was laughing and crowing in her arms. ‘ I had Ellen show you up here,’ she said, ] deasantly, ‘ beeause I guessed your errand, tut down, please, and my little folks shall bring tbeir mites.' In a moment there was a pattering of busy feet across the carpet, and presently four small boxes were brought, and t heir contents emptied one by one into mam ma’s lap. She counted it over with five pair of bright eyes fixed on her smiling f*.ce. Fifty cents from Charley; sixty-two from L-icy; thirty-seven from Ruth, and' twenty nix from Robert, making in all just one dol lar and seventy-five cents. Here the baby, attracted by the bits of shining silver, stretched out his little dim pbd hands to grasp them, whereupon Ruth said it was because he wanted to send some money as well as the rest. ‘ And so he shall,’ said Mrs. Almy, draw ing out her purse and unclasping it. £ Ben nie shall give this pretty new dime with his own little fingers.’ The children shouted in concert as he dropped it in his mother’s lap, and then looked up in her face with a pleased smile. ‘ Mr. Almy left ten dollars for you when he went to the store'this morning,’ said Mrs. Almy, after the little people were quiet, ‘ and here are my two which I wish were ten times as much. I do love the cause of mis sions, and try to teach my boys and girls to love it too. only way, Miss Carrie, to make gene roivi and liberal men and women is to bring up children to habits of generosity and libe ral! ty ; if they learn to deny themselves in youth they will do it when they are older, in stead of being satisfied with giving a dollar or two which they might not even miss.' Mrs. F , the next in order on my list, is a wealthy widow with one daughter. 1 Certainly, I will give something,’ she said, in answer to my request. * I never re fuse anybody; people always think you are so mean if you do. What is my proportion, Miss Allison V ‘I cannot tell, Mrs. F . Every one gives as they feel it to be proper, and as they are inclined,' I replied. . ‘ Well, lam willing to do ; my share,’ she said, drawing out her purse.; ‘You may put down my name for a dollar.’ I did so, and left her well satisfied with her liberalty. My next call was at Mrs. Henry’s door, and here I was met with an argument against missions which I had never thought of be fore. ‘ It is all folly,’ she said, ‘ to give to this object. You have to give 50 dollars in order to get one to the heathen; it has to pass through so many hands before they reap any benefit; and then look at the long string of salaried officers that pretend to transact the business! No, no, I don’t want anything to do with Buch complicated machinery!’ Now i very well knew that this was an excuse made to quiet the qualms of con science, and I was sure it was anything hut valid, yet I could not answer it, and I began to wish that Mr. Hope had not asked me to be one of the collectors. I felt utterly dis couraged, and was tempted to go directly to the Parsonage, and tell him that I was unfit for the office, but at that moment a text of Scripture came to my mind which I could not but apply to myself. It was this: ‘No man having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.’ Surely, I was unworthy to name the name of Christ, if I could not perform a service for him that "required some patience and self denial on my part! After dinner I again set forth with fresh courage, for mother had comforted me by her sympathy and gentle words. From two o’clock until five I was busy, making ten calls and receiving fiften dollars, but I will not give an account of them all, for some were too disagreeable to recall. I want to forget them as soon as possible. Mrs. Shelby gave fifty cents and hoped tbe money would be well appropriated; Mrs. Ripley had just purchased new carpets for her parlors, and her spring dresses, and ‘bad not a cent left;’ Miss Yates was ready with two dollars, and a pleasant smile; Mrs. St. Clair, the widow of a former pastor, gave ten dollars; the doctor’s wife contributed fifty cents, and * hoped it might do good to somebody;’ Mrs. Porter gave a dollar, and after her I came to the last name on my list for the day—Phoebe Beach. Phoebe is a poor colored woman, and lives by herself in a very small room but a few rods from the church. She has a few kind friends who delight to supply her wants, and who take turns, a week each, in so doing. As I entered her humble abode, Phoebe was just eating her frugal supper of bread and cheese. ‘ How do you get on with your work, Miss Carrie ?’ she asked with interest as I took a seat by the window; ‘ your mother told me that you was goin’ to help collect the mis sionary money this week.’ ‘ Yes; I have been quite successful, I sup pose; this is my first day, and I have al ready received about thirty-two dollars., ‘Now that’s good!' cried Phoebe, a bright smile beaming on her dark face. ‘ I’m glad the dear Lord has opened the hearts of his children; my mite wont make, your purse much heavier, hut I’m glad you called for it; I don’t like to be passed by.’ She arose from her seat as she spoke, and with feeble steps tottered across the room to a table drawer from which she took an old stocking foot. ‘Aint it a queer pocket-book, Miss Car rie?’ she said, laughing heartily. ‘ Well, ’tis good enough for such a poor old critter as I be, least ways it’ll hold all the money I shall ever have to put in it!’ Then site gave me her ‘ mite ’ —six half dimes done up in a bit of white paper. ‘0 Phoebe,’ I said, ‘isn’t it more than you can afford ?’ What a look of reproach she east.upon my face as with tearful eyes she said, ‘ Now don’t ye, miss, don't ye. say such a thing as that; it’s only a drop in the bucket, but it does my heart good to give it. Only think what the dear Lord did for me! Oh! I hope he will bless my offering; I’ve prayed over it morn’n once, and I know he’s heard me. I wish I could give more.’ * Your prayers are worth more than all the money I have taken to-day,’thought I, as I bade her gopd-by, and walked slowly homeward. Poor Phoebe 1 yes—poor in this world’s riches, but what an inheritance is laid up for thee in heaven; how rich shall be thy crown, in the day when the Lord maketh up his jewels! Mother had a bit of poetry for me to read when I had eaten my supper. I like it so well that I will copy it here: ‘ In days of old, some brought their gold. Some silver and some brass; If hearts were cold, the thing was told By little gifts, alas! The women wove; they showed their love, With scarlet, purple, linen ; Some brought goat’s hair, wrought with much care, Thus ready, ancient women! Bracelets and rings, and all such things With willing hands they brought; The king of kings loves him who brings His offerings unsought. We’re told that men were ready then To do with all their might ; Oh, tell me, when shall all again In giving take, delight? ‘Who loves the Lord, and keeps his word, Will try to do some good; His heart’s a chord that strikes for God, As every Christian’s should.’ ROBERT lURGUSOFS DEATH-BED Robert Furgusox, the immediate prede cessor and prototype of Robert Burns, inhe rited both his genius and his virtues from his mother. His death-bed was a most affecting scene. He was stricken with insanity in his twen ty-fourth year, at which early age he had written a considerable number of very beau tiful and affecting poems. He was carried, by his broken-hearted and widowed mother, to the only asylum then established for the insane in- Scotland. Visiting him a short time before his dissolution, his mother and sister found him in bed, quite peaceable. He re<i.ucsted_his mpther_tqgather the bedclothes round him ancTsit ontheDM*tfesra@Tnmyfus" sister then took her seat on the other side. He looked wistfully up into his mother’s face. “ I was very cold,” said he, “ before you came, mother. This is very kind of you.” Then addressing his sister, he said— “ Ellen, dear, I wish you would sometimes wing your sewing, and sit and work at my bedside.” No reply was made, but both mother and sister were in tears. ‘‘What ails you, dears?” inquired the dying poetj fancying that he was a little child again. “ Why are you sorrowing for me, mother? I was cold, very cold; but I feel quite warm now you have come. Mother,” he continued, “ I don’t recollect saying my prayers before I got into bed to-night. Will you let me say them, to you now ? And then will you sing for me ?” He repeated then, childlike, the prayers he had been used, when an infant, to repeat at his mother’s knee. : ' 7 “ Mother, he added, when he had finished, “you have often told me that if I was a good boy, I should go to heaven when I died. I think I am dying now, and I know God will take me to heaven for Christ’s sake, t?T7?i P ra y ers > dear mother.” “Ellen,” he continued, addressing his sob bing sister, “ don’t cry, dear. Be good to mother when I am gone, for then she will have no one to care for heron earth but you. You, will come to heaven to meet me, won t you ? _ * . Chaplain Stewart, in the United Presbyte rian, thus describes scenes which transpired in the grey morning, as Gen. Scott was about to leave Washington: On entering we learned that the old hero had already arrived, and was seated in a little side-room-almost alone. Having no mutual acquaintance, we used the American privilege, presenting our own com pliments, myself introducing the young ladies with the remark, That although just arrived in Washington, they could not think of allow ing General Scott to take perhaps a final leave of his Generals and the capital without being present to see, him off. ‘The young ladies have done me great honor in coming out such a morning,', was the courteous re sponse, as he took each one cordially by the hand. We wished him God’s blessing on his present journey as well as on all the remain der of his pilgrimage. “ I need it, much/,’ was his unaffected reply, “ for I am a great sinner, and have been one all my life.” The manner in which these words were uttered, so affected each one present that no response was attempted—-all were silent. This, how ever,' was but brief. A bustle was heard at the door. It was the ■ entrance of General McClellan and his staff, with all the Generals of the army conveniently within reach, toge ther with several members of the Cabinet. With heads uncovered and with reverent tearing, each one jipjproaehcd and' succes -si-rcly'greeted the worn-out giant, who mean while remained seated, being unable to rise without assistance. When all had paid their respects, General McClellan again drew near, as though to receive the falling mantle from the retiring commander. The old General took his hand and uttered in the kindest and most affectionate manner, language to this effect; “General, allow not yourself to be embarrassed by ignorant men. Follow your own judgment/ carry out your own ideas, and you will conquer. God bless you!” Equally brief and touching was the re sponse of the young chieftain, on whom the mantle of the great old man was now fall ing. ; — Carrie, Allison. “ I thank you, General. 'I will remember your counsel. May your health improve, and you live to see your country again united and prosperous. ■ God’s blessing accompany you! Farewell!” The train was ready. Two aids assisted the old man to rise. As he and the young General walked side by side and in silence to the ears, the contrast was most striking. The one appeared as a giant, the other, as a little hoy. ’ , 1 : The power of discovering a comic point, of appreciating a humorous hit, and enjoying the fun of a droll position, is a gift not to be despised. It is not a vain, silly, or unbe coming thing, as some moping owls and, grave dullards suppose/ It is, indeed, like all hu and Mtxit&zt dirattgcliht. “ Mother,” he added, after a pause, “please lift up my head and let me rest it on your bosom, it aches so bad.” , , The weeping mother raised her son s nean and rested it on her bosom, as she had done when he was a little child.” “My head doesn’t ache now,” he mur mured. “ Oh, now lam so happy. _ I know we shall all three meet in heaven; and the once strong man sank peaceably to sleep, and in that sleep passed away to death on the same breast upon which he had lam for res in earlier and happier days. , , It would. be a beautiful and affecting sub ject for a painter to delineate on canvas. Thayer's Some Monthly . OUR NATION. Ie ANY ONE will take the pains to run over the headings of the fast-day sermons, so ela borately reported by the enterprise of the New-York dailies, it will be perceived that, « with one consent,” they make the nation out a culprit, under the -bastinado, for about every national crime under the sun. Our own minister prayed for “ this wretched, na tion.” As soon as we got home, we horrified our family by an out-an-out disclaimer of the whole thing, and told them we didn’t be lieve a word of it, that the nation was “ wretched,” or a sinner above all others— that the Almighty was angry with it; on the contrary, it was nearer being a Christian nation than any other on the face of the earth; and enumerated its “ works,” the on ly solid sign of a true faith; its missionary", tract, and Bible operations; the millions ex pended voluntarily every year for objects wholly benevolent and religious: the very fact that a national fast was appointed and observed with great uniformity throughout the land showed that this was a government which looked through clouds, up to the Maker of the universe, to lead it aright. We contended that there was not only no evi dence of the Divine displeasure, but the strongest that could be given of his smiles,, in that the earth had never yielded a larger increase; never before was there such a call from abroad for every pound or bushel of produce our people could spare ; and never, in our memory, had been a year more free from epidemic diseases, than this same of eighteen hundred and sixy-one. The very cost of war was a blessing ; for the rich, who had more than they could use, had to pay for it into the hands of the poor and indus trious and that thus would the laud,he flood-: edwith money; and never sinee we-have been a nation, has there been as much gold and silver in the country as at this hour.— We said further, that the war was not to be regretted, and that God would bring a na tional good out of it, that would open up a more glorious future to it than could other wise have been done. But fearing that we might he considered as getting up an op position meeting to our honored and beloved minister, we broke short off, and began to J talk about something else. Although, if we could have had our say out, we would have enunciated further, what Dr. Davidson, with great frankness, tells as a truth which multi tudes only dare whisper, and which the mag nates disclaim with particular pains, that, in this war, “ Slavery is the cause and object;” that the South intended thereby to extend its area, and to perpetuate it; and .that the North intends, as the war has been forced on her, that Slavery shall not be extended, and that it shall cease on this continent. The Doctor argues that, if Slavery be a crime, and the North is seeking to cut it up by the roots, there is no reason why God should he angry with the North; hut reason for the re verse ; hence, with a wise and admirable sen tentiousness, he entitles his discourse: “ A Nation’s Discipline; or, Trials hot Judg ments.”—Sail’s Journal of Sealth. FAREWELL TO GENERSL SCOTT. MIRTHFULNESS. man faculties, liable to abuse, and capable of being perverted to evil; but it is essen tially a good gift, and ought" to be turned to the good account of which it is susceptible, and to manifest itself in the increase of the cheerfulness, the happiness, and the affec tion of social and family life. We might go further; —we might say, and adduce much evidence to support the proposition, that, as humor is discerned only by those who can, to some extent, catch the feeling and spirit of the humorist, So tfie sense or discernment of humor is one phase or department of sym pathy, and thus the springs of mirthfulness and of kindness are not far distant; and many a home, amid the alternations of joy and sorrow, that darken or brighten the course of life, has found an ever fresh glad ness in the comic vein and joeund humor of some merry and mirthful member of the family. Many of the best men we have ever known —the best .in the highest sense of the term —with the best heads and the best hearts, have been men who thoroughly ap preciated, and heartily enjoyed, true humor. —North British Review. ANECDOTE OF REF. DR. M’LEOD, (FATHER OF DR. NORMAN M’LEOD.) The Rev. Dr. t M‘Leod tfas proceeding from the manse of D——to church, to open a new place of worship. As he passed slowly and gravely through the crowd gathered about the doors, ah elderly man, with the peculiar 'Mhd ofi miliat district bright, smooth and of a reddish brown—ac costed him, “ Doctor, if you please, I wish to speak to you.” “Well, Duncan,” says the venerable Doctor, “ean ye not wait till after worship ?” “ No, Doctor, I must speak to you now, for it a matter upon my con science.” “ Oh, since it is a matter of con science, tell me what it is; but be brief, Dun can, for time presses.- “ The matter is this, Doctor. Ye see the clock, yonder, on the face of the new church. Well, there is no clock really there, nothing but the face of a clock. There is nojtruth in it, but only once in the twelve hours.j Now it is in my mind, very wrong, and quite against my that there should be) a lie on the face of the house of the Lord.j’ “ Duncan, I will con sider the point; * Bab I am glad to see you looking so well; you are not young now; I remember you for many years; and what a fine head of hair you have still!” “Eh, Doctor, you are joking, now; it is long since I have had any hair.’'- “ Ohj Duncan, Dun can,: are you gomg'into/the house of the-Lord with a'He upon yoW head?”.

I would npt, however, advise that the first experiment of t this character be made across the ocean, but ! that the feasibility, of the project should be thoroughly tested, and experience accumukted by voyages over the interior of our continent. It is true that more eclat might b<j given to the enterprise, and more interest excited in the public mind generally, by the immediate attempt of a passage to Europe; but Ido not think the sober sense of the[ more intelligent part of the community would be in favor of this plan; on the contrary, it' would be considered a premature and.foblbardy risk of life.” Rock Oh..- —In j 1.826 an account of the Little Muskingum legion, in Ohio, was pub lished in Sillimanp Journal, in which the statement was made that in boring for salt water vast quantities of petroleum was ob tained, which was luginuing to be in demand for lamps in workshops and manufactories. The writer says It affords a clear, brisk light when burnt h this way, and will be a valuable article for lighting the street lamps in the future cities of Ohio.” Though this account was publisl ed in 1826, the* discovery was made in 1811, and yet this mine of wealth was sufferec to lie unappropriated in the heart of this co ntry for thirty-five years.
