My Little Daughter's Shoes.
Two little, rough-worn, stubbed shoes,
A plump, well-trodden pair ;
With striped stockings thrust within,
Lie just beside my chair.
Of very homely fabric they ;
A hole is in each toe ;
They might have cost, when they were new,
Some fifty cents or so.
And yet this little, worn-out pair
Is richer far to me,
Than all the jeweled sandals are
Of Eastern luxury.
This mottled leather, cracked with use,
Is satin in my sight ;
These little tarnished buttons shine
With all a diamond's light.
Search through the wardrobe of the world I
You shall not find roe there,
So rarely made, so richly wrought,
So glorious a pair.
But why? Because they tell of her
Now sound asleep above,
Whose form is moving beauty, and
Whose heart is beating love.
Thay tell me of her merry laugh ;
Her rich, whole-hearted glee ;
Her gentleness, her innocence,
Her infant purity.
They tell me that her wavering steps
Will long demand my aid;
For the old road of hnman life
Is very roughly laid.
High hills and swift descents abound ;
And on so rude a way,
Feet that can wear these coverings
Would surely go astray.
Sweet little girl l be mine the task
Thy feeble steps to tend ;
To be thy guide, thy counsellor,
Thy playmate and thy friend.
And when my steps shall faltering grow,
And thine be firm and strong,
Thy strength shall lead my tottering age,
In cheerful peace along.
When I Mean to Marry.
JOHN G. EASE.
When do I mean to marry I—Well—
'Tis idle to dispute with fate ;
But if you choose to hear me tell,
Pray listen while I fix the date.
When daughters haste with eager feet,
A mother's daily toil to share ;
Can make the puddings which they eat,
And mend the stockings which they wear.
When maidens look upon a man
As in himself what they would marry,
And not as army soldiers scan
A sutler or a commissary.
When gentle ladies who have got
The offer of a lover's hand,
Consent to share his "earthly lot,"
And do not mean his lot of land.
When young mechanics are allowed
To find and wed the farmer's girls,
Who don't expect to be endowed
With rubies, diamonds and pearls.
When wives, in short, shall freely give
Their hearts and hands to aid their spouses,
And live as they were wont to live,
Within their sire's one story houses.
Then,madam,—if I'm not too old—
Rejoiced to quit this lonely life,
I'll brush my beaver, cease to scold,
And look about me for a wife.

THE MILLER'S MAID.
The parish of New Abbey, in Kircud
bright, derives its name from a Cistercian
Abbey founded in the beginning of the
13th century by Devorgilda, Devorgilla,
or Donorguilla (for her name is very var
iously spelled,) daughter of Allan, Lord
of Galloway; wife to Lord Bahol, Lord of
Castle Bernard, and mother to John Baliol,
King of Scotland.
The Abbey was at first called the Abbey
of Sweetheart, from the heart of the hus
band of the fair founder havino. ' been em
balmed and placed in an ivory box bound
with silver, which was built into the walls
of the church near the altar. But the
name was afterwards altered to that of
"New Abbey."
The remains of the Abbey exhibit the
relics of a beautiful lofty building of the
light Gothic style of architecture. Its
church is one hundred and ninety-four
feet long, one hundred and twenty feet
broad at the cross, and sixty-six feet at the
ends, with a tower upwards of ninety feet
high.
This structure stands in the middle of a
fine level field of about twenty acres, called
the Precinct, enclosed by a stone wall
eight or ten feet high, built of granite
stones of great size. Some of them, even
near the top of the wall, seem to be no less
than a ton weight.
There used to be, if there is not at the
present day, a lonely mill close by the lit
tle picturesque monastery of Sweetsheart's
Abbey; and this lonely mill is said to
have been the scene of the following story,
which, whether it be regarded as an in
stance of presence of mind in a female, or
as a special interposition of Providence, is
equally remarkable and worthy of atten
tion :
It was on a Sunday morning, "ages long
ago," that the miller of this mill and his
wole family went forth to hear the holy
mass, at the church attached to the Sweet
heart's Abbey.
The mill—which was also his residence
—was left in charge of a servant girl nam
ed Jennie, a stout-hearted lass, who had
long lived with him in that capacity. An
infant child, of an age unfit tier church,
was left in her charge likewise.
The girl was busily employed in pre
paring the dinner, when who should en
ter but an old sweetheart of hers, named
Rerrick Lochdee. Rerrick was an idle,
shiftless fellow, whom the miller had for
bade the house; but whom Jennie only
liked the better, because others gave him
no countenance. She was glad to see him,
and she told him so, and gave him some
thing to eat, and gossipped with hi.o as he
despatched the food she sat before him.
As he ate, however, he let fall his knife.
"Pick up that., my lass," said he, in a
joking way to the good-natured girl.
She stooped down accordingly to pick
up the knife.
As she was in the act of raising, how
ever, the treacherous villain caught her by
the nape of her neck, and gripping her
throat firmly with his fingers to prevent
her screaming the while, drew a dagger
from under his coat.
"Now, lass," he said swearing as he
spoke, "where is your master's money ?
I will have that or your life, so take your
choice."
She impolred him not to make such a
horrible resolution ; but "Master's money
or your life, lass," was all he would say.
"Well, well, Rerrick," said she ; re
signedly, what is to be must be, but if you
take the money, I will even go along with
you. This will be no home for me any
more. But cease your grip of my neck a
little--don't squeeze so hard—l—can't
move—yo'u hug me so tight. Besides
time presses, and if it be done at all it
mast be done quickly, for the household
will soon be back.
The ruffian relaxed his grip, and finally
let go his hold.
"Come," she said, "quick ! quick !—no
delay. The money is in master's bed
room."
She led the way into her master's bed
room, and pointed out the coffer in which
the money was concealed. "Here," she
said, reaching him an axe, "this will
urench it open at once, and I shall just
step up to my own apartment and get a
ftw things ready for our flight."
"Go, lass," he said, "but be not long."
She disappeared at the words.
•lle immediately broke open the chest
and began rummaging the contents.
While he was thus employed, the brave
hearted girl stole down the stairs on tip
toe, and creeping softly along the passage
reached the door of the chamber unseen
by him, and likewise unheard, securely
fastening the door.
This done, she rushed forth to the outer
door of the mill and gave the alarm.
"Fly ! fly !" she shrieked to the child,
her master's little boy. "Fly to father !
Fly on your life ! Tell him we shall all be
murdered, if he haste not back. Fly !
Fly !
The child at once obeyed the command
of the girl, and sped as fast as his legs
could carry him on the road by which he
knew his parents would return from
church.
Jennie sat down on the stone bench by
the mill door, to ease her over-excited
spirit.
A shrill whistle from the grated window
of the chamber in which she had shut up
the ruffian Rerrick reached her ears.
"Robin ! Robin !" she heard him shout,
"catch the child and come hither ! Bring
the child here, and kill the girl."
Jennie thought to herself that this al
arm was a false one, but just as the child
reached a hollow in the next field—the
channel of a natural drain—she saw an
other ruffian start up, and catching him in
his arms, hasten towards the mill, in ac
cordance with the directions of his accom
plice.
In a moment she perceived her danger.
Retreating into the mill, she double
locked and bolted, and then took her post
at an upper casement.
She had scarcely time to secure herself
within, when the ruffian from without,
holding the helpless child in one hand,
and a long sharp knife in the other, assail
ed the door with kicks and curses of the
most fearful character.
"Confound thee," he cried. "open the
door or I'll break it on ye."
"If you can you may," was all the girl
replied.
"Cut the brat's throat.," roared the im
prisoned ruffian from above. That will
bring her to reason."
An ye open not the door," shouted the
villain from without, "I'll hack this
whelp's limbs to pieces with my knife, and
then burn the mill on your heed."
"I put my trust. in God," replied the
girl. "Never shall ye set foot within these
walls whilst I have life to prevent ye."
The ruffian laid the infant for a moment
on the award, and searching about for
combustibles, espied the only possible en
trance to the building.
It was a large aperture in the wall, com
municating with the great wheel and the
other machinery of the mill, and was a
point entirely unprotected, because it was
never supposed• by the simple occupants
that any one would ever seek admission
through such a dangerous inlet.
By this the ruffian hoped to effect an
entrance.
All this was unseen by the girl within.
In the meanwhile her mind was busied
with a thousand cogitations.
Suddenly a thought struck her.
"It is Sunday," she said . to herself.
"The mill never works on the Sabbath.
Suppose I set it going now. It can be
seen afar off. And happily my master
and some of his neighbors, wondering at
the sight, may hasten home to learn the
cause.- A lucky thought," she exclaimed.
"'Tis God sent it to me."
No sooner said than done.
It was but the work of a moment for
her to set the machinery in motion.
A brisk breeze which sprang up at once
set the sails flying.
The arms of the huge engine whirled
round with fearful rapidity—the great
wheel slowly revolved on its axle—the
smaller gear turned, and creaked and
groaned according as they came in action
—the mill was in full operation.
At this very instant the ruffian Robin
had succeeded in squeezing himself through
the aperture in the wall, and getting safe
ly lodged in the interior of the great drum
wheel.
His dismay was indescribable when he
began to be whirled about with its rota
tion.
His cries were most appalling—his
shrieks were truly fearful—his curses were
horrible to hear.
Jennie hastened to the spot, and saw
him caught like a reptile, that he was, in
his own trap.
It need not be added that she did not
liberate him. _ _
She knew that he would be more fright
ened than hurt if he kept within his ro
tatory prison.
Meanwhile the wheel went round with
its steady, unceasing motion • and round
and round went the ruffian al ong with it,
steadily and unceasing too. Muttering
curses ; he was whirled round and round
in the untiring wheel, until at last feeling
and perception failed him, and he heard
no more.
A loud knock at the door was shortly
after heard, and Jennie hastened thither.
It was her master and his family, ac
companied by several of his neighbors.
The unaccustomed appearance of the
mill sails in full swing on Sunday had at
tracted their attention, and they hastened
home from church to ascertain the cause.
Jennie, in a few words told all.
The machinery of the mill was also at
once stopped, and the inanimate ruffian
dragged forth from the great wheel.
The other ruffian was brought down
from his prison.
Both were bound, and sent off to the
royal borough of Kircndbright, and in due
time came under the hands of the town
executioner.
It was not long till Jennie became a
bride.
The bridegroom was the miller's son,
who had loved her long and well but with
a passion previously unrequited.
They lived henceforth happily together
for many years, and died at a good old
age, surrounded by a flourishing family.
In the latest hours of her life, the
brave-hearted Jennie wouldshudder as she
told the tale of her danger and of her de
liverance.

Remarkable Dreams.
THE DREAM OF LOLA MONTEZ.
Something over twenty years ago, the
exploits of Lola Montez in different parts
of the world, and particularly at the court
of the old King of Bavaria, were the
theme of many a racy paragraph in the
European and American newspapers. She
was a woman of talent but an adventuress.
She contracted a number of marriages,
which were, of course, most unhappy ;
and she was continually in public quarrels
with editors, and others. Among her
qualities was great courage; and, in any
case where she considered wronged
she took upon herself the vindication of
her own cause, which was generally by the
use of the cowhide. She became the fa
vorite of the King of Bavaria, and was
created Countess of Landsfeldt The
whole affair occasioned great scandal, and
was one of the causes leading to the over
throw of the king in the European war of
1848. At length Lola came to the United
States, and took an engagement at the
Broadway Theatre, New York, as a dan
sates, and proved a failure. She also gave
lectures. Seemingly filled with remorse
for her past life, she became very penitent,
and joined the Episcopal Church. Sink
ing into a decline, she finally passed away
in death; and her lonely grave is to be
found in Greenwood Cemetery.
Lola Moutez was a person who scarcely
passed a night without a dream; and she
was a rigid believer in their influence.
She often entertained her friends by the
recital of them. Her fascinating conver
sational powers, and vivacity of spirits,
imparted to these occasions the same won
derful interest that marked all intercourse
with her. During her engagement at the
Broadway Theatre, it was her custom to
go into the "Green Room," where there
was always a crowd of distinguished dra
matic, literary, and other personages in at
tendance to see her. Seated in the midst
of them, she would pour forth a torrent
of brilliant language such as few are ca
pable of. She had traveled everywhere,
and seen everything, and everybody; she
was student of literature and the drama,
and a connoisseur of art; and her views
were expressed with eloquence, compre
hensiveness humor, and wit.
One night she seemed depressed, and
though she talked, it was evident that she
was not in her usual flow of spirits.
A distinguished comedian, who was con
nected with the theatre, remarked :
•'Madam Lola is sad to-night ?"
. .
"Yes," she replied, as laiie glistening
tears stood like diamonds upon her long
black eyelashes. "Yes lam sad. Would
yon know the reason ?"
"Most certainly."
"I must tell you that I am a firm be
liever in dreams. -My happiest hours have
been foretold to me in visions of the night,
and now something of my closing career
has been revealed to me. My dream was
in regard to my last days on earth. I
dreamed that I should close both my pro
fessional and earthly career in this country.
Here in a land of strangers am I to die;
here in this republic are my bones to de
cay. In my dream it was foretold to me
that I would have sickness and poverty.
Now I have hosts of friends, but then I
will live obscure, and only a few kind souls
will administer to me. When I am dead,
the poor, neglected stranger will be put in a
lonely grave and the world will remember
her no more."
"Lola's voice faltered, and her eyes fill.
ed with tears.
"This is horrible !" cried the comedian
before referred to. "Why I feel as if we
were having a funeral right here in the
green room of the Broadway Theatre.
Tell us no more of thy dreams, good
madam. My opinion of such matters are
always - loss of time to talk about; but I,
especially denounce them when they bring
sadness to the heart and tears to the eyes
of the peerless Madam Lola."
"Well, I will change the disagreeable
subject," said Lola. "But remember, all
of you. what I have to-night told you.
The last words were said with marked
It will surely come to pass !"
emphasis and solemnity. No one who
heard them forgot them.
This dram changed the whole current
of life of Lola Montez. It was not long
before sh, became altogether a different
woman. In her disposition, habits and
associations there came a total change.
She sought to live in a manner to obtain
the respect of the moral and pious, and
won the few devoted friends who watched
her decline and death. The dream, in the
sequel, proved true in every particular.—

Honor Your Business,
It is a good sign when a man is -proud
of his work or calling. Yet nothing is
more common than to hear men finding
fault continually with their particular bus
ines., and deeming themselves unfortunate
because fastened to it by the necessity of
gaining a livelihood, In this spirit men
fret, and laboriously destroy all their com
fort in the work ; or they change their bus
iness, and go on miserably, shifting from
one thing to another, till the grave or poor
house gives them a fast grip. But while
occasionally a man fails in life because he
is not in the place fitted for his peculiar
talent, it happens ten times oftener that
failure results from neglect and even con
tempt of an honest business. A man should
put his heart into everything that he does.
There is not a profession that has not its
peculiar cares and vexatious. No man will
escape annoyance by changing business.
No mechanical business is altogether agree
able.
Commerce, in its endless varieties,
is affected, like all other human pursuits,
with trials, unwelcome duties and spirit
tiring necessities. It is the very wanton
ness of folly for a man to search out the
frets and burdens of his calling, and give
his mind every day to a consideration of
them. They belong to human life. They
are inevitable. Brooding over them only
gives them strength. On the other hand,
a man has power given him to shed beauty
and pleasure upon the homeliest toil, if he
is wise. Let a man adopt his business and I
identify it with his life, and cover it with
pleasant associations; for God hasgiven us
imagination, not alone to make some poets,
but to enable all men to beautify homely
things. Heart varnish will cover up in
numerable evils and defects. Look at the
good thing. Accept your lot as a man
does a piece of rugged ground, and begin
to get out the rocks and roots, to deepen
and mellow the soil, to enrich and plant it.
There is something in the most forbidding
avocation, around which a man may twine
fancies, out of which a man may develop
an honest pride.
How Old are You?
There is a good deal of amusement in
the following magic table of figures. It
will enable you to tell how old the young
ladies are. Just hand this table to a young
lady and request her to tell you in which
column or columns her age is contained,
add together the figures at the top of the
columns in which her age is found, and
you have the great secret. Thus suppose
her age to be seventeen, you will find that
number in the first and fifth columns, and
the first figures of these two columns added
make seventeen. Here is the magic table :

What Women Really Want.
In an article under the above news, in
the New York Independent, Gail Ham
ilton says: Judging from what we hear,
one would suppose that the graet and crying
want of women is work, or, as it is some
times put, fair day's wages for a fair day's
work; or, again, freedom to do whatever
she is capable of doing. This is not so.
What women want is not work; but the
wages of work, not freedom to work, but
freedom to receive money without working.
There is plenty to do now; but they will not
do it. They wish to live like women and
be paid like men. * * *
It has been dinned and dinned into the
ears of women that the place where they
are wanted is the kitchen ; but into the
kitchen they will not go. They are sorely
wanted in the sewing room; but the sewing
room is to them an abomination.
Sick-nursing is an occupation the most
honorable, important and remunerative.
The demand for nurses is constant and ur-
gent.
I am amazed, I am indignant to hear
this outcry for a wider sphere and greater
opportunities for woman, while her sphere
is already a thousand times wider than she
spans, and her opportunities a thousand
fold greater than she has ever attempted to
measure.
Rich Without Money.
Many a man is rich without money.
Thousands of men with nothing in their
pocket, and thousands without even a
pocket. are rich. A man born with a good
sound constitution, a good stomach, a good
heart and good limbs, and a pretty good
head-piece, is rich. Good bones are better
than gold; tough muscles than silver, and
nerves that flash fire and carry energy to
every function are better than houses and
land. It is better than a landed estate to
have the right kind of a father and mother.
Good breeds and bad breeds exist among
men as really as among herds and horses.
Education may do much to check evil ten
dencies or to develop good ones, but it is a
great thing to inherit the right proportion
of faculties to start with. The man is
rich who has a good dispostion—who is
naturally kind, patient, cheerful, hopeful,
and who has a flavor of wit and fun in his
composition. The hardest thing to get
along with in this life is a man's own self.
A cross, selfish fellow, a desponding and
complaining fellow—a timid and care bur
dened man—these are all born deformed
on the inside. Their feet may not limp,
but their thoughts do.
Victims of Popular Nostrums.
The revelation of certain famous phy
sicians concerning the profuse and gener
al use of cosemetics and washes of all kinds
and their terrible effects are not yet for
gotten. A medical writer now gives simi
lar statements with reference to the use of
a popular hair restorer. He has under his
care a lady who has been paralyzed on the
right side for nearly three years, and has
beeen utterly helpless most of that time.
"Her vision has been very imperfect; her
knowledge of past events has utterly de
parted from her; recently she appears to
be recovering her recollection, and can
count with tolerable accuracy as high as
twenty." He attributes her prostration en
tirely to the use of a popular hair restorer.
Of another lady he says that for the past
year her eyes have been the seat of con
stant torture. The retina has become so
sensitive to the light as to make a dark
room indispensible. Wheels of burning
flame revolve constantly before her eyes,
attended by lightning-like flashes, which
are terrible to bear. She is also a victim
to the poisonous lead contained in the same
popular nostrum.
A Sensible Young Man.
The late Col. Colt was himself a practi
cal mechanic. By his will he left his neph
ew an immense fortune. At the time of
his death the nephew was learning his trade
of machinist in his uncle's shop, working
diligently in his overalls by day, subject to
the same rules as the other apprentices.—
On his uncle's death he became a million
aire—but choosing a guardian to manage
his property, he continued at his labor and
served his apprenticeship. Now as he
walks the room of his fine house, or drives
his costly.team, he has a consciousness that
if his riches take to themselves wings and
fly away, he is furnished with the means of
getting an honest livelihood, and may make
a fortune for himself. He was a "greasy
mechanic" and is not ashamed of it again.
Labor and its accompanying dirt are not
dishonorable, or degrading—laziness and
its almost necessary evils are disgusting and
destroying. Dirty hands and a sense of inde
pendence are to be preferred to kid gloves
and a consciousness of beings mere drone in
the human hive. Tools rust from neglect— ,
wear out from use. Neglect is criminal—use
is beneficial. So with men's capabilities—
better wear them out than let them rust.

Ignorance of Mothers.
The care of the young ranks as one of
the most important of all things to the state
and the race, and one on which no pains
bestowed could be too much. Yet bow
many mothers understand the management
of the young in any scientific sense ? How
many study the best modes of education,
physical or moral, and bring their studies
to good issue ? How many mothers will
ever receive advice and not consider it in
terference in their own distinct domain ?
and how many are there who so much as
doubt that maternity of itself does not give
wisdom, and that by the mere fact of moth
erhood a woman is fully capable of mana
ging her child without more teaching than
that which she gets from instinct? We
give less thought, (not less love,) less stu
dy, less scientific method, to the manage
ment of our own young than to the train
ing of future race-horses or the development
of the prize heifer on the farm. The wild
est ideas on food, the most injudicious fash
ions in dress, amusements which ruin both
body and mind, such as children's evening
parties, theatres, an. the like, make one
often think that the last person to whom
her children should be entrusted is the
mother. Add to this a moral education,
good or bad according to individual tem
perament an ignorance of physiological and
hygenic, and the personal care of the little
ones delegated to servants, and we have the
base on which the modern nursery is con
structed. This delegation of the mother's
duty to servants is as amazing in its con
travention of instinct as the revolt against
maternity. Every woman sees how nurses
treat the children of other mothers, and
every mother trusts her own nurse impli
citly, and gives into the hands of a coarse
and ignorant woman, the temper, the health,
the nerves, the earliest mental direction,
and the consequent permanent bias of the
future of her child, while perhaps she goes
out on a crusade to help people who need
example father than assistance. This is
no overcharged picture. The unscientific
management of children, and the absolute
surrender of them while young, and there
fore while most plastic, into the hands of
servants, is too patent to be denied.—Mac
millan.
Sentiment.
George 1). Prentice had been a constant
drinker for forty years. For ten years he
had been a drinker of the lignum vitae or
der. Here is a temperance lecture from
him :
There are times when the pulse lies
low in the bosom and beats low in the
veins; a sleep the spirit sleeps, which, ap
parently knows no wakening, sleeps in its
bosom of clay, and the windows are shut
and the doors are hung in the invisible
crape of melancholy; when we wish the
golden sunshine pitchy darkness, and wish
to fancy clouds where no clouds are. This
is a state of sickness when physic may be
thrown to the dogs, for we wish none of it.
What shall raise the spirit ? What shall
make the heart beat music again, and the
pulses quiver through all the myriad
thronged halls of the house of life ? What
shall make the sun kiss the hills again for
us with all his awakening gladness, and
the night overflow with moonlight, love
and flowers ? Love itself is the greatest
stimulant—the most intoxicating of all—
and performs all these miracles; but it is
not at the drug-store, whatever they say.—
The counterfeit is in the market, but the
winged-god is not a money changer we as
sure you.
" Men have tried many things, yet they
ask for stimulant. Men try to bury the
floating dead of their own soul in the wine
cup, but the corpse rises. We see their
faces in the bubbles. The intoxication of
drink sets the world whirling again, and
the pulses to playing music, and the thoughts
galloping, but the fast clocks run down
sooner, and the unnatural stimulant only
leaves the house with the wildest revelry
more silent, more sad, more reserved, more
dead.
" There is only one stimulant that never
intoxicates. Duty. Duty puts a clear sky
over man, into which the sky-lark, Happi
ness, always goes singing'
No Home.
No home. What a misfortune ! How
sad the thought! There are thousands
who know nothing of the blessed influences
of comfortable homes, merely because of a
want of thrift, or from dissipated habits.—
Youth spent in frivolous amusements and
demoralizing associations, leaving them at
middle age, when the physical and intellec
tual man should be in its greatest vigor,
enervated and without one laudable ambi
tion. Friends long since lest, confidence
gone, and nothing to look to in old age but
a mere toleration in the community where
they should be ornaments. No home to fly
to when wearied with the struggles, inci
dent to life; no wife to cheer them in their
despondency; no children to amuse them,
and no virtuous household to give zest to
the joys of life. All is blank. and there
is no hope or succor except that which is
given out by the hands of private or public
charities. When the family of the indus
trious and sober citizen gather around the
cheerful fire of a wintry day, the homeless
man is seeking a shelter in the cells of a
station-house, or begging for a night's rest
in the out-building of one who started in
life at the same time, with no greater ad
vantages; but honesty and industry built
up that home, while dissipation destroyed
the other.
Beautiful Thought
There is but a breath of air and a beat
of the heart between this world and the
next. And in the brief interval of a pain
ful and awful suspense, while we feel death
is with us, that we are powerless, and He
all-powerful, and the last faint pulsation
here is but a prelude of endless life here
after, we feel in the midst of the stunning
calamity about to befall us, that earth has
no compensating good to the severity of our
loss. But there is no grief without some
.beneficent provisions to soften its intensi
ties. When the good and lovely die, the
memory of their good deeds, like the
moonbeams of the stormy sea, lights up
our darkened hearts, and lends to the sur
roundings a beauty so sad, so sweet, that
we would not, if we could, dispel the dark
ness that environs us.
