I weep; but It b not with coward fear.
At the pawing from this to another iphere;

Bat I grieve to think of the flnrt dark day.
In the houaebold bond, when Ipaaa away;
Of the desolate air in the dreary room,
When the darkness b horror, the sunlight b gloom;
Of the.whbpered words; of the stealing tread
Bound the form, when the breath has fled;
When the kindest voice to the mourner’s ear
Has lost the power to soothe or cheer.

’Tia n dreary thought, that the winter snow
Will drift o’er the spot whom I slumber lew ;
But 0,1 think, when the summer hours
Shall come again, with the buds and flowers,
All the music and fragrance I loved so well.
And the sbft winds sighing down tho dell,
Where the beautiful rivet murmurs by,
Reflecting the blue'of the glov/tag ahy;’
That my sisters will alt by tho water's side.
And sadiy talk of the one that died
That my brothers will steal from their noisy play.
To weep by my grave, at the close of day;
And my parents will look on tha vacant chair,
And miss me most at tho hour of prayer;
While one who is now on a far ofi shore,'
Will return to miss me forevermore.
Then tell him to come to tho dark line stream.
Where together wo dreamed such a Beautiful dream.
To fistan again to the wood-bird s lay.
While ho watches tjhe waves u- tlu-y Jmice away;
And to linger till after the sun has set, -
Til! the daylight end darkness have softly met;
Then when earth seems a tinge of the heavens to wear,
To think that nay love will be lingering there.
I know that erelong, in the world above, '
1 shall meet again with the friends I love;
But it seems like a fearful thing to go.
And leave on each bosom a weight of woe:
I grieve that a gloom for a while must fall
On the hearts of my loved odes—l gr ieve fur all;
But these tear* are for him that is loved the best,
The dearer, e’en dearer than all the rest.
« SO A.M.
IBKsttßang.
It was the year 18—, in the spring of
the year, and in the loyely month of May,
that the circumstance occurred which I am
about to relate.
A young lady of eccentric character,
but of rare mental endowments, and extra
ordinary personal attractions, had five
suitors, equally assiduous in their atten
tions. Unable to decide upon which she
should bestow her hand, she gave f-Efiti
notice to call upon . her on a certain day
and each state his claims in the presence
of the others.
Four of them were confident of success
but the fifth had a downcast look, and
sighed when he gazed on the object of
Ms devotion.
“ Gentlemen/' eaid she. “ you have
honored me with proposals of marriage,
I have jas yeti neither refused hor accept
red any of you-; state your claims to'my
hand, that I may know upon what grounds
I may be justified in bestowing it."
v Mr. A. answered as follows :
“If you many me, you shall live in a
splendid hoose, liave carriages and ser
vants nt your command, and enjoy all the
luxuries of life. I aim independently rich."
B. spoke next :
“My rival ]ias said, very true, that he
is rich, but I am of noble descent, my fore
fathers were descendants from the first
noblemen of the land. 1 am of a family
with whom an alliance would be consi
dered an honor to the wealthiest heiress
of the land."
C. stated-his clams.;
“ l am a politician, and have now a re-
Sntation that older persons have envied.
Text year J shall run for Congress, and
have ho doubt of success; by marrying me
your name will be banded down to pos
terity. !
D. twisted his moustache with the air
of an exquisite, and said :
“Angelic creature, pon my word, I
think you have Mready made up your
mind in my favor. I am the most fash
ionahle pressed person in town. lam the
belt jndge ppmas. • Tosi see what a per
fect genrieman I aiin."
When it came E's turn to speak, all
eyes were turned toward* him. Poor fel
low, he was dreadfully embarrased.
“ WeU/ ; said! the lady, “ what say you
Mr. E.”
“Aloe 1” was the reply, "I yield to .these
gentlemen; they lave the advantage-over
me in every respect," and he topic his hat.

fori em afford none of the inducements
neld out by my rivals.”
“ I*™ j«dge of that sir, what, next ?”
♦‘Nothing, only I love you, and take a
newspaper.” ' . t
1 . At ia Messrs. A. B. C. and D. burst
into a loud laugh, and exclaiming in one
voice, “So do we, I love you to distrac
tion. I take four newspapers.”
“ Well,” said the lady, “in one month
withdraw *“ WU9W ’ You ““7
At the end of the month, the five suitors
again appeared. Turning to each one in
succession, the lady answered :
“Riches are not productive of happi
ness hooted nobility of blood is the poorest
Oi all recommendations, fame is fleeting,
and he that lias only the garb of a gentle
man, is to be pitied. I have found out
the names of the papers to which you all
subscribe, and have ascertained that none
of you who have boasted of wealth, nobili
ty, fame and fashion, have paid for them :
now gentlemen that_ is a dishonest act, and
m my humble opiniou, a dishonest man is
not a suitable person for woman to confide
m. Now Mr. E., you take one news oa
per, and I have ascertained that you have
likewise paid for it. Likewise you are all
you pretend to be, you are not cheating
the publisher in order to make a show in
the world, as well considered. Mr. E I
give you my hand and fortune.-” 5
Wliy should a 3-laa Swear I
X cab conceive of no reason ■why he
should, but of ten reasons why ho should
not;
1- It is mean A man of high moral
standing would almost as soon stool a sheep
as swear. 1
2. It is vulgar
for a decent man.
3. It is cowardly. Implying! a fear
either of not being believed or obeyed.
4. It Is ungentlemanly. A gentleman,
according to Webster, is a genteel man,
well bred refined. Such an one will no
more swear than go into the street and
throw mad with a clod-hopper.
5. It is indecent. Offensive to deli
cacy, and extremely unfit for human ears.
6. It is foolish. “ Want of decency is
x want of sense.”—-Pope. .
7. It is abusive. To the mind that
conceives the oath, to the tongue which
utters it, and to the person at whom it is
aimed
8. It ia venomous; showing a man’s
heart to be a nest of vipers, and every time
“ e one of them sticks out his head.
9. It is contemptible; forfeiting the re
spect of the wise and good.
19- It is wicked; violating the - divine
law, and provoking the displeasure of Him
who will not hold him guiltless that takes
his name in vain.
B.KA.irf s. An American sloop-of-v/ar
tad jiut into aa' : .Knglish port, and ihc
first lieutenant went ashore to rcoou
In the course of his travels, he entered a
tavern where a number of British officers
were carousing They at once recognized
the lieutenant’s nationality by his dress
and resolved to amuse themselves by bul
lying him.
‘ Weil, comrade/ says one, ‘ you belong
to the United States, I see.” S
'Bight/ was thie answer.

should say that your navy did not contain
an officer fit for a bumboat V continued
the Englishman. :
1 1 would blow bis brains out!’ retumeu
heutenant,. with great coolness.
There was silence among her majesty’s
servants for a moment; but finally one of
them, more muddled than the rest, man
aged to stammer out;
‘ W—well, Yank, I say it!”
The American walked to his side, and
replied, calmly; ; 7
* It is lucky for you, shipmate, that you
have no brains to ploio out I’
Struck by the dignity of the answer,
the offender at once apologized, and x our
hero was invited to join the mess.
A Cum Yankee. —Early one morn
ing the scholars of one of our district
schools were agreeably surprised to find
upon the outside door, “ No Soule,” and
the most of them made preparations to
enjoy the holiday, not learning but that
it was genuine order.
It appeared,' however, that a roguish
youth, a lover of mischief more than his
books, had written in large letters the
joyful news. « No Scnle” was the notice
posted np4-the idea we understand, but
spelling was [bad. The afternoon
brought all together, and in -the stern
vh»ge of the master enough was seen to
convince us'that aH Was not right, and now
came the thg of whr. ,
‘ s , r(ler H tte toys to appear be
fore Jus presence, ahd oneby one, criticised
our spelling,, as as the word school was
concerned.; stood the test until the
hero, with domic phiz, made his appearance,

The master took him by the coiar, and
with a joyfpl expression at the'success of
the ruse, laid on the birch right merrily.
Altogether too mean
Spicy Correspondence.
A TRUE WIFE.
Wc are assured by a friend who Is per
sonally cognisant of what he states, that
the following piquant correspondence is
A gentleman whose business
calls him a good deal from home, & ac
customed to give the custody of his cor
respondence to his wife, an intelligent lady,
who, in obedienee to instructions, opens
all letters that come in her husband's "ab
sence; answers such of them as she can,
like a confidential clerk, and forwards the
rest to her liege lord, at such places as he
may have designated at his departure.—
During a recent abscence of her husband
the lady received a letter-, of which the
following, (omitting names, dates and
places,) id a true copy ;
My Dear Sir: — l euw a fine picture
ol you yesterday, and fell in love with it
as I did with the original in W last
winter, when I saw you more than an
hour, though I suppose you did not see
me among so many. I f oa r yon will think
me forward in thus addressing you, but I
trust you are as noble and unsuspecting as
you arc handsome and brilliant. Perhaps
you would like to know something about
me—your ardent admirer ! Well, I am
not very good at description, but I will
say I am not married—(though you are
lam told.) My friends tell me I have
nol a pretty face,, but only a good figure,
i aid rather petite, have black eyes, black
hair, and a dark complexion— that is I am
wnat. is called a “ brunette.” lam stop
ping for a lew weeks with my brother-in
law and sister in this town, and I dearly
wish you would meet me there before I
return to V/ At any rata do not
fail to write Ino at least a few words to tell
whether I shall ever see you again,
and know you more intimately. Forgive
my boldness and believe me
• Your friend
To this letter the wife, who, by the bye,
has not the least knowledge of the person
to whom she was writing, made the follow
ing answer:
Madmoisellc—Your letter of the
inst 7 addressed to Mr. was duly re
ceived. Mr. , who is my husband,
directed me, when he left home a few days
a SP} to open all his letters, and to answer
any of them that I conveniently could.
As you seem to be rather impatient, I will
answer your letter myself. I do not think
your description of yourself will please
Mr. . I happen to know that ho likes
black eyes, and hates brunettes most deci
dedly. It is quite true (as you seem to
suppose) that he judges of women as he
does of hdrses \ but-1 do not think your
inventory of your « points” is complete
enough to be satisfactory to him. You
omit to mention your tight, weight, wind,
speed, and (here the word is illegible.)
Taking your charms at your own estimate,
I doubt whether they will prove sufficient
ly attractive to draw him so far as B.
merely for the .satisfaction of comparing
them with the scUedule. °
You say you trust my husband is « un
suspecting.” I think that is his nature,
hut yet he is used to drawing inferences,
which are sometimes as unkind as suspi
cious. You say you are unmarried. My
advice to you is to marry somebody, as
sohn as possible. In most cases, I would
not recommend haste; but in yours, I am
convinced there is truth in the proverb
which speaks of the danger of delay.
Should you be so fortunate as to get a
husband (which may God mercifully
grant!) my opinion is that you will con

Moral —Young ladies who write affection
ate letters to married men should be care
ful that the precious missives do not fall
into the hands of their spouses, as the
amorous writers may chance to get !i more
miffs than kisses.— Post.
The loveliest valley has a muddy
swamp, and the noblest mountains a pier
oing blast and the prettiest face some ug
ly .features. The fairest complexion is
subject to freckles; the handsomest girl
is apt to Be proud;. the most sentimental
lady loves cold pork; and the gayest mo
ther lets her onildren go ragged. The
kindest wife will sometimes overlook an
absent shirt button ; and the best husband
forgets to kiss his wife every lime he strays
outside of the gate; and the best dispo
sition ed children in the world got angry
and squall; and the smartest scholar miss
a lesson ; and the wittiest wit says some
thing stupid; and the wisest essayest write
some nonsense; and Woodworth snores

The Great Str ashing Clock.
Henry C. Wright, in a letter to the
Boston Liberator, thus describes the great
clock in Stnuburg Cathedral:—lam now
sitting in a chair facing the gigantic clock,
from the bottom to the top not less than
100 feet, and about 30 feet wide, and 15
deep Around me are many strangers,
waiting to see the working of this clock as
it strikes the hour of noon. The clock is
struck in this way; The dial is some
twenty feet from the floor, on each side of
which is a cherub, or a little boy, with a
mallet, and over the dial is a small bell.
The cherub on the left strikes the first
quarter, and that on the right the second
quarter. Fifty feet over the dial, in a large
niche, is a huge figure of Time, a bell in
his left and a scythe in his right hand s
• v^ ront ® figure of a young man
with a mallet, who strikes the third quarter,
on the hand of Time, and turns and glides,
with a slow step, round behind Time.—
Then comes out an old man, with a mallet,
and places himself in front of him- As
the hour of twelve comes, the old man
raises his mallet, and deliberately strikes
twelve times on the bell, that echoes
through the building, and is heard all
around the region of the church. The old
man glides slowly behind Father Time,
and the young man comes on ready to
perform his part, as the time comes arounct
again. Soon as the old man has struck
twelve and disappeared, another set of
machinery is put in motion, some twenty
feet higher still. It is thus: There is a
nigh cross with the image of Christ on it.
The instant twelve has struck, one of the
Aposdes walks out from behind, comes in
front; turns, facing the cross, bows, and
walks on. around to his place- As he does
so, another, come* opt in front, turns,
bows, and passes on. As the last appears,
an enormous cook, perched on -the pinna
cle of the clock, slowly flaps Its wings, and
stretches forth its neck and crows three
times, so loud as to be heard outoideof the
church to some distance, and so naturally
as to be be mlstakened for a real cook.
Then all is silent as death. No wonder
this clock is the admiration of Europe. It
was made in 1571, and has performed
these mechanical wonders ever since, ex
cept about fifty years, when it stood out of
repair. •
