TO WILLIE IS HEAVEN.
Brother W iUIb, God liatb claimed - thee,
Claimed our sweetest blooming flower,
Plucked thee from the hearts that loved thee,
Placed thee In 'hi* heavenly power;
There to bloom more sweet than ever,
Wafting perfume to our hearts,
Strewingthe leaves of joy before us,
Telling death no’sting impart*.
Barling Willie, Heaven Seems brighter
Since a starry crown yen wear,
And its golden gates'seem wider t
Since thy form Lath entered there.
0, we’ll show thee, darling
How we loved cmr precious one, '
For we’ll meet thee up in heaven,
When tins troubled life is done.
6Tree-test M illie, sister loved thee.
Loved that little form of thine,
Loved to hear thy hiorry prattle, '
Loved that joyous laugh of thine;
Loved to hear thy footstep* coming,
Loved to proas those lips to mine,
Loved to draw thee to my bosom, v
That round my thy arms might twine.
Oft be with ua, Angel Willie,
Let thy spirits hover near,
Breathe sweet words of consolation,
To our hearts that dow are scar,
Go to mother, pretl ms Willie,
Base her aching, bursting heart,
Tell her that sweet Jesus took thee,
Though hq know ’twas hard to port.
Yet lie saw you were onr Idol,
Saw you were our worshipped one,
And Ul» first command forbade it,
*• idols,’ 1 he said, <( yo shall have none:**
That is why ho called thee from us.
Placed thee where onr heart should bo,
Now onr treasure lives in heaven.
Now the lovo of God we see.
Farewell, Willie, till wp meet thee,
In those realms' of Hekvenly bliss,
Jesus tuue those golden harpetrings,
For the angel that we miss;
Now I feel the music wafting,
Now I hear his precious voice, I
Singing lather, mother, sister, brother,
Heaven is my willing choice. t

Arabian Days’ Entertainment,’’ just issued, in 1 volume,

.Neither the title or tile cornihcucoment of the storv give
any intimation of the pleasant humor which prevad'es the
whole after the secret is known, or of the excellent moral
to be draw n from it. this is but one of many others which
make up the book and well deserve the mime of Enter
tainments.! ‘ i
My Lord Sheik, in ths southern pait of Ger
many lies the'little city of Grunwieseft where I
was' born and bred. It is small, as all cities
are in that country. In the centre ia a little
market-place with a fountain, an old guildhall
on ono ’side, and round the market thefjnstice
of peace and tho more influential merchants; and
a couple of narrow streets hold all the test 0/
tho inhabitants. All know each other ; J erery
one knows what happens every where else; and
if the priest, the burgomaster, or the doctor,
has an additional dish on his table, by dinner
time it is known to the entire city. In the af
ternoon the ladies go to each others houses
paying visits'ns they call it, to talk, overstfpng
coffee and sweet biscuits, about this great event;
and the general conclusion arrived at is thaUhe
priest must have invested in a lottery and won
money sinfully, or the burgomaster have token
a bribe, or the doctor have received money from
tho apothecary on the condition of writin"- ex
pensive prescriptions. You may imagine” my
lorkisheik, how disagreeable a circumstance it
must have been for so well-regulated a place as
Grunwiesel, when a man arrived theije, of whom
nobody knew whence he came, whatdic wanted,
or how he lived. Tha burgomaster, to be sure)
had seen his passpor,t.—a paper. which every
one is obliged to have among us—
“ Is it so unsafe in your streets,” interrupted
the sheik, “ that you require to hate a firman
from\ your sultan to inspire robbers with .re
spect?” . '
No, my lord,—answered the , slave,—these -
papers arc no protection against thieves, but
arc made necessary by the law, which requires
that it must be kqowu everywhere who is who.
Now, the burgomaster Lad examined the pass
port, and had declared, at a coffee party at the
doctors that it was certainly correctly vised
from Berlin to Grunwiesel; but he feared there
was something behind, for the man had a very
suspicious look about him. The burgomaster
had great authority ia the city, so it is no mat
ter of surprise that in consequence the stranger
came to bb regarded as a,fery doubtful charac
ter. His mode of life did not tend to disabuse
my countrymen of this opinion. He hired a
house for his exclusive use, put into it a cart
load of strange looking furniture, such as fur
naces, sandbaths, crucibles and the like, and
lived henceforward entirely alone. Nay, he
eyeta did his own cooking, and bis house was
entered by no human being, except one old man
of Grunwiesel, whose duty it was to buy his
bread, meat, and vegetables. Even this person
was only admitted ta the lowerfloor, where the
stranger met hjqi to;receive his purchases.
1 was a boy of ten years of age when the
stranger took up hia residence in pur city; and
I can coll to mind, aa plainly as if it had hap
pened but yesterday, the excitement tlie man
occasioned in the place. He .never came of an
afternoon, like other people, to, the hawling
-B?epU,; never of an evening to the tavern, to
of the times over his pipe and tobaooo. In
vam 4id the burgomaster, the justice, the doc-.
tor, the priest, each, in Jim turn, invite him to
dinner or tea; he invariably-bimgej to be ex
cused. In consequence ofall tl^,'some people
regarded liito hi a depperade ; some thdnght he
must be a je.w; and a thiid;phrty dccliuNjid wlthi
great solemnity that he w.as' a magiolafl or sors,;

large as a man, which went on two legs, and
tonew 4U sorts of atoning sleights of hand. It
ohaneed that its performances took place jn Wt
of the stranger’s house. When the drum and
fife sounded he made his ■ appearance, at first
wito risible vexation, behind the dark, dust
oegnmmed window- of his residence. Soon
however, he grew more, amiable, And, opening
his window, to everybody's astonishment, look
ed out and laughed heartily jit the orang-out
l h ? ? aid 80 W-a piece
of sdver for the entertainment that the whole
city talked of it.
The next morning the collection of animals
went on their way. | They had scarcely made a
league on them journey, wlien the stranger sent
to the post-house, demanding to the postmas
ter s amazement, a post-chaise and horses, and
set forth by the same gate and on the same road
taken by the menagerie. The whole city was
furious at not being able to learn whither ho
was going. It ww night when the stranger
again returned to the gate! in the post-chaise.
.P, er . s ? n , wafl sitting with him in the vehicle,
with his hat pressed closely: down over his face
i , , ls mou *h and ears bound in a silk hand-'
tJercmef The gate-keeper considered it 'his
jlu yto speak to second' stranger, and de
mand his passport, His answer was study, and
growled out m some unintelligible language.
“ It is my nephew," said the stranger polite
ly, putting several silver coins into the gate
keeper’s bond ; “ lie understands very little 1
Herman. What he said just now was swearing
at our being delayed here.”
“Ah! if he is your nephew, sir,” answered
the gate-keeper, “of course.he can enter with
out a passport. He Will live in your house, no
doubt?”
” Certainly,” said the stranger; “and will
probably remain with me a .long while.”
The gate- keeper nfade no I further opposition,
uad the stranger and hia nephew passed into
the city. The burgomaster :atid the whole town
were much displeased with the conduct of the
gate-keepeh lie should at least hare taken
notice of the nephew’s language; it would then
hare been an easy matter to decide to what na
tion he and his uncle ,belonged. The gate-keeper
asserted, in reply to these Complaints, that it
was neither Italian npr French, but had sounded
a good deal like English; and, unless his ears
had deceived him, the younger gentleman had
said distinctly, “ Ros-bi/.l” By this the
gate-keeper helped himself opt of his scrape,
aud, at the same time, assisted the young man
to a name, for nothing was talked of now in the
city but the young Englishman.
The young man, however, was no greater fre
quenter of tho bowling-green "or the tavern than
his uncle was ; but'he furnished the people
much food for conversation in another way. It
happened now, not unfrequently, that in the
hitherto silent house would be heard a frightful
uproar and shrieking; so that the passers-by
would stop before the house in crowds, and gaze
up at tiie windows. The joung Englishman
would be seen dressed in a red frock and green
trousers, his hair erect, and his appearance in
dicating terror, runniijg with great speed through
tho rooms, from wiiadow to window, the old
stranger pursuing him with a hunting-whip in
his hand, and often foiling to overtake him.
But it sometimes seamed to the crowd below
that he had succeeded iu patching the youm'
man; for they could hear,, issuing from the
rooms above, cries of anguish and sounds of
blows. The ladies of the city took such deep
concern of this cruel treatment of the youthful
stranger, that they induced the burgomaster at
last to take some notice of the affair. He wrote
a letter to the strange, gentleman, in which he
■alluded in vigorous terms to his liarsh treatment
of his nephew, and threatened him in case simi
lar scenes continued to transpire, with taking
the unfortunate young man under Ms especial
protection.
Imagine the surprise of the burgomaster when
he saw the stranger entering his doors for the
only time in ten years. The old gentleman ex
cused his conduct towards his ucwhew on the
plea of the peculiar directions of the parents of
the;young man who hid entrusted him with ins
education. He stated that the youth was in
most respects clever aid Wolligent, but that he
beamed languages with great difficulty ; that he
wished so earnestly to ! make' his nephew an ac
complished German scholar, that he might af
terwards take the liberty to iiilroduce'him to the
society bf Grunwicsel, and Use progress made
by him was so discouraging, .that on many occa
sions there was no better course to pursue than
to beat it into him by a suitable constigatlon.
The burgomaster expressed' himself perfectly
satisfied with this explanation, recommended a
little more moderation in the infliction ofehas
tisement, and 1 reported in the evening at the
beer-saloon, that ho llad rarely met, in his whole
life, a better-informed and more agreeable gen
tleman than the stranger. , ‘'The only pity is,”
he added, that be gibes so little Into society:
but I think, as soon ns his nCphow can speak a
little Gorman ht> will- visit our; circle ofiener,”
By this single incident theopinion of-lhc city
was completely changed. They regarded the
stranger ns a woll-brad man, felt a desire to
cultivate his acquaintance, and considered it to
be perfectly in order, when now and then a
frightful shriek was beard to issue from the des
olate hense. “ He is) giving his nephew a les
son in German," the orunwjeselonians said, and
went on without paying further attention to the
matter. Three inontlis passedj.by, and the tui
tion in German seemed to Have borne to a close;
but the old man went a step further. There
lived in the city lan old, infirm Frenchman, who
gave lessons in dancing to the youbg people.—
This man the stranger summoned to his house,
and told him that'he:desired him to teach hia
‘nephew to dance. ) ■ . 'i
There was nothing; the Frenchman secretly
declared; so wonderful in all;the world as these
dancing-lessons. Tile nephew, ft tall, slim,
young man, with 1 rather short legs, made his
appearance, he a red frock, Lis'hair
nicely curled, wide trousers,; and white gloves.
Ho spoke little," nnd vfcith a foreign accent, and
sccrncd, in the bcginlng, rather intelligent and
docile r-bilt .-io freqiiipnt|y broke out into the
most ridiculous Ipaps, dancing the wildest iour*,
in which he made ehtfiehalt Which surpassed all
the dancing maslers-he bad ever seen or heard
of. When it whs attempted to check-his ex
travagances, he Would pull off the delicate danc
ing-shoes froih his feet, U|row them at the
Frenchman's head, round the chamber
on gll fours. At the 'noise,' the old gentleman
would rush out of his room, ip a largo, red bed
gown, and a cap of g “ ravingseise him!”
null^ h a difficult forte bed
pulled off his gloves, and showed his brown
bands, armed with frightful nails, with which
he assaulted the faces of the comply, a cour
ogeous huntsman at length succeeded in toS
lum> pnsoucr. Ho pressed his long arms down
to his sides, so that be could do noUiinjr excent'
struggle fiercely with his feet, affiurf?Sd

which I have ventured to play upon you as a

The citizens of Grunwciscl were the laugh
ing-stock of the whole country, and felt in
tf-osoly mortified. Their consolation was that
all'this must have been brought about by su
pernatural means. But the greatest confusion
Was felt by the young men of the city, for they
had made the bad manners of a bcastly ope tho
object of their approval and imitation, ilcnco
foi tli they ceased to lean tbeir' elbows on tlio
table ; they balanced themselves-no longer on
tbeir chairs; they were silent till addressed,
and became modest and civil as of old; and it
became a byword with the Grunwioselonians,
when any one showed signs of relapsing into
such vulgar and mliculous practices, to call
him “the old gentleman’s ape.”
The orangoutang, who had plsyed so long
the part of a gentleman of fashion, was handed
over to the proprietor of the cabinet of natural
history. This' gentleman feeds- him, gives him
the run- of his -yard, and shows him to every
stranger as a great rarity ; and’ there he is to
bo seen to the present day'.
A. Fox’s Ct’XMXG.—An incident occurred to
a friend of ours-on ttylicjstrcet a few days Ago,
which servos to illustrate the extraordinary
cunning of tho fox. Tho person to whom wo
allude purchased a fox, with the view of making
a pet of the “ vfu-mmf,” and chained him se
curely in his coller, where he was supplied-with
much better grub and more of it than generally
tails to the portion of such auiniulawlien in the
wild state. He prized the little joker & good
deal, plough for what we have never been able to
discover, and accordingly when a day after he
came intb his possession, ho found “ Reynard”
defunct in the cellar, his grief may be easier
imagined than desd-ibed. -Unloosing the collar
from his neck, and, after a soliloquy-something
after the. Sterne over the' carcass of
his defunct donkey, hefplaced the retttainst of his.
“ pet” on a shovel, and with solemn 'steps' car
ried them to the street and there deposited
them. This’ dene he returned to thehouss, but
had not proceeded many steps when “ Reynard”
slowly raised his. head, and seeing the
clear got up and. scampered down High street,
to' the infinite astonishment of bur friend,'and
the no little amusement of a Isirge eiowdbf
spfqtatore. The cunning thief had feigned death
strwell that he deceived his owner' completely,
and thus regained his long-lost liberty.—PKte.
