AVhy am I sad io sad the livelong day ?
Oft from my bosom steals tlie weary sigh,
And down my check the pi-naive tear will stray
Ah; why; ah, why?
'Tis not that I am friendless! many a face
Beams on me still 08 in the hours of youth,
And many a hand clasps mine in warm embrace
Of love and truth.
'Tis not that I am feeble; I can tread
The savage steep and lay tlie red-doer low,
Or swim the torrent when it in turners rca
In wintry flow, ,
'Tis not that I am poor; with loud aeilalm
Men tell the glories of my lordly line;
Ancestral acres, riches, honors, fane
Ail, all are mine.
'Tis not that I'm unloved: tho brightest eve
That ever beamed hath blessed mo with its ray,
The sweetest lips that ever framed a sura
Pressed mine to-day.
Then wherefore sad ? ah, here I see I've penned
I ivc scparnto stanzas, so it s ncany time,
By all tho rules of comic verso, to end
My gentle rhyme
With artless mention of the next-door cat

1)E GOBBLES.
A FASHIONA RLE MYSTERY.
When we were at school together De Gobbles
and I were Intimate friends. In fact, as we
fought each other with great punctuality once a
week. I mav sav wo loved one unotucr nice
brothers.
After we left school we did not meet for many
years. He went abroad, and I stayed at home,
which was one of the chlcl reasons why we saw
so little of one another.
Be had been in England about a year, when
learning his address, I resolved to cull on hltn.
When we parted at school I lent him half-a-
crown and my pea-shooter, and I wished to see
If he had a soul of honor and would return them.
I called at his chambers In the Albany and
was at once ushered into his room. He was sit
ting on the sofa in an embroidered dressing-
gown. His countenance wore a strange air of
depression and bewilderment.
Do Gobbles, my boy," said I, with all the
warmth of our old affection, "how are you ?
'Because the one kicses his missus, and the
other miees his kisses," said he, gazing at me
in a vacant manner.
"Why. hullo!" I exclaimed, -'What is the
matter ?"
He nave a sicklv smile, and suid "When its
a-jar."
I could sec that his braiu was affected. I was
the rrey of conflicting feelings, because painful
ns the spectacle was, it was gratifying to think
that the friend of my boyhood was capable of
suffering from an affection of the brain.
"My dear De Gobbles," said I, sitting beside
him and taking his hand, "what ails you ?
"Because he's a head-seentcr," was his reply,
which at once convinced me of the hopelessness
of his disorder.
In time and by degrees, combined with dry
sherry, I got him to be more cool and collected,
He told me his sad story.
lie loved and was as he fondly hoped bo-
loved again. The lady of his choice moved in
good society, and so did De Gobbles.
His adored had one failing. Sho spent her
whole time in constructing or solving riddles.
It was owing to his constant efforts to engage
her affection by sharing her pursuits that my
poor friend was reduced to such a state of men
tal prostration that everything in the form of a
question appeared to him in the light of a riddle,
The course of true love had gone smoothly
enough with him until that morning, wheu on
visiting his affianced he received a shock that
hatrowed up his gentle and sympathetic soul.
The object of his attachment had greeted him
on hiF entrance with these remarkable words
"Iiiuodshotten. barbarian, bacchanalian, be
holden, beargarden baboon!"
It was au insult his lofty soul could not brook
He left her prcseuce never to behold her more,
After revealing this melancholy story to mo, he
rushed to tho mantelpiece, snatcuou uown a
pair of bellows, nnd placing the muzzlo to his
tetnple, before I could Interfere blew his brains
out.
I hurried off to break the sad tidings to hia
betrothed. I told her that hor cruel words had
driven him to the rash act.
"Why," said she, "I was only solving the
Double Acrostic iu 2'he Weekly Whirl of Fash
ion. Just run back and tell him bo!"
I did, but It was useless. So we buried him.
He never spoke again. But then wo didn't ex
pect him to. do so. If we had wo should have
asked him a riddle. His last words were, "I
give it up." We hadn't the heart to take It, though,
The bishop's daughter never solved tho acrostic.
The W hirl of Fashion never reached a second
number, and the result is that to this day she re
mains in ignorance.
Such are a few of the awful results of indul
gence In Charades and Double Aerostics, a vice
to vthicb we owe all the murders, coroners in
quests, lunatic asylums, patcut corkscrews,
braes-hcaded nails, and other horrors of civiliza
tion.

3t SLAP AT THE STAGE. .,
Dear Fkhikh:
I am a playgoer, and I always pay my money
like a man. fro I have a right to grumble when
I sec what 1 don't like, aud am beguiled by
some bad acting from a capital cigar. What I
dislike most is a performance where the players
are not perfect in their parts, which It usually
the case on the first night of a new piece. I pay
to see a play, and not a dress rehearsal, and a
manager receives my money under false pre
tenses If ho allures mo to a piece ere it Is lit to
be produced. Sec here how they manage things
on the French stage:
"In Paris the Bohemian f.irl Is rapidly cominir out.
They have bad already forty-eight rehearsals."
Forty-eight rehearsals I Hero Is something 1
should like to sec "adapted from tho I rench I
We should not hear such grumbling about
slovenly stage management, aud actors not
working together, if foi ty-eight rehearsals were
considered Insufficient cro producing a new
piece. Yours In all sincerity,

BE NOT TOO BOLD.
We read In tho London Scotsman that the
Bible is to be turned into Scottish. A specimen

Anglican version of the 23d of King Davld'e
Psalms. In Scotch it runs thus: "Providence

REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS.
Histokt of America Socialisms. By John
Humphrey Noyes. Published by J. li. Lip
pineott x Co.
This handRor.e octavo ol t.i8 pages is a
most valuable contribution to literature, and
it is well worthy of the perusal not only of
statesmen and political economists, but of all
who wish to be informed with regard to one
of the most interestiug and curious phases of
modern civilization. It is certain that social
iem is not understood even by those who
profess to be leaders of public opinion, while
the mass of the pubho know absolutely noth
ing about tho real aims and theories of the
class of reformers to which Mr. Isoyes be
longs. To write the history of socialism par
ticular qualifications are necessary, and these
the author of this work appears to possess in
a high degree. As the founder of the Oneida
Community, he represents a marked phase
of socialistic development, and his book
shows that he has made socialism in all its
phases an object of sincere and earnest
thought and careful study. His style is ele
gant and forcible, and his discussion of the
reasons for so many socialistic failures shows
that, unlike many of his brethren, he is not
insensible to the logic of facts.
A large amount of tho material for this
work, we are informed, was obtained from the
hitherto unpublished manuscripts of a Scotch
man by ihe name of A. J. MacDonald, who
proposed to publish a work similar to this.
He did not get farther than writing his pre
face when he died of the cholera, leaving bis
undigested materials for the use of some
future historian. These materials Mr. Noyes
has freely used, and as a mere historical
record the work is perhaps as complete as it
could be made. In perusing this book it is
not difficult to determine why socialism has
been and ever must be a practical failure,
and how all such experiments as those re
corded fail to make any impression on society
at large. It is the old story of tho difference
between theory and practice, and the impossi
bility of changing human nature by auy arbi
trary system. .
There has been a large grain of truth at the
bottom of all these, experiments to better tho
condition of mankind, and this is recognized
every day by practical business men, but tho
trouble is that, when dealing with morals,
the socialistic philosophers for the most part
totally ignore the very qualities that are most
inherent in the nature of men and women:
they run counter to the natural eourse of
social development, and although they may
succeed in maintaining a few scattered co:u
mnnities, they never will either advance or
impede materially the progress of civilization.
From Turner Brothers &. Co. we have re
ceivel "Lady Byrou Vindicated," by Mrs.
Harriet Beecher Slowe. Published by Fields,
Osgood A Co. We. have already referred to
this work and set before our reader- the
most important portion of it, so that it is
only necessary to aunonnce the fact of its
publication.
Mesbrw. Fields, Osgood it Co. also publish
"The Adventures of Caleb Williams," by Wil
liam Godwin. This powerful novel has leeu
out of print fur a great number of year, and
it is probably unknown, exTopt by reputation,
to a large number of readers of the present
generation. It is issued ut the present time
on account of the references to it in Mrs.
Stowo's book, but it is well worthy of a peru
sal on its own account. 1
Turner & Co. also send ns "Micthfulness
and its F.xcitors; or, Kational Laughter and
its Promoters," by B. F. Clark, published
by Lee A Hhepard. ,The author, or rather
compiler, of this book is a clergyman, who at
tht: bt cf sixty-oi.t fvund Liuihtlf obliged to
Rive up the church over which he had pre-
fcided for more than thirty yearn, and nn.
willing to accept another charge, he concluded
to write a book on mirth, for the double pur-
pone of a relief from bis own denpondoncy
and to make money. His preface and intro
duction, in which he rolates his reasons for
writing the book and his views on the moral
effect of mirthfulness, are bo ingenuous and
frank that they put the reader at once into
hearty sympathy with the writer. As for the
book itself, it is a collection of all the funny
anecdotes about everything and everybody
that have been floating around in the news
papers and magazines for the last fifty years.
Many of them are as good as new now, and
the book altogether is one that contains about
as much good wholesome material for
laughter as any contribution to funny litera
ture that has been recently published.
From the same house we have received
Appleton't Journal for January 1.1, and Our
Eoys and (Jith for the same date.
From J. 13. Lippineott & Co. we have re
ceived Good Words for January. With the
present number Messrs. Lippineott & Co.
commence the publication of this popular
English mngazine. It is printed from stereo
type plates, and is in all respects a facsimile
of the English edition. Without being strictly
a religious publication, the articles in Good
Words are written with a view of imparting
sound instruction in such matters, and some
of the most popular writers of the day are
contributors to its columns. The illustrations
are np to a high mark of excellence, and the
magazine altogether is, wo think, entitled to
a cordial greeting in every family circle.
From A. Brentano, No. 708 Broadway,
New York, we have received "Whitaker's
Almanack," and "Dietrichsen & Manning's
Koyal Almanack," for 1870, both of which are
full of valuable statistics; also, "Tom Hood's
Comic Almanack;" "The Comic Album of Folly
and Fashion;" 'Tunch's Almanack;" and the
Christinas numbers of the Illustrated London
Jfeus and The Graj?tie, which are full of fine
engravings.
