One day the dreary old King of Death Inclined to some sport with the carnal— So ho tied up a pack of darts on his back And he quietly stole from his oharnal. His head was bald of flesh and of hair. His body was lean and lank; His Joints at each stir made a crack, and the cur Took a gnaw by the way at his shank. And what did ho do with his deadly darts— This goblin of gristly bone T Ho dabbled and spllledmen’sbloodandhokillod Like a butcher that kills his own. The first he slaughtered It made him laugh, (For the man was a coffin-maker,) To think how the mutes and men da black Suits Would mourn for an undertaker. Death saw two Quakers sitting at church, Quoth he, “ Wo shall not differ,”— And he let them alone, like figures of stone, For ho knew he could not make them stlffor. Ho saw two.duelists going to fight, Their fear they could not smother; And he shot one through at once, for ho know They never would shoot ditch other. GLOVES, NECKTIES, Death saw a toll-man taking his toll, In the spirit of his fraternity; Rut he knew that sort of man would extort, Though summoned to all eternity. Ho found an author writing his life, But he let him write no forth cr; For Death, who strikes whatever ho likes, Is Jealous of all self-murder! Death saw a patient that pulled out his purse. And the Doctor took the sum; But he lot thorn bo, for he know the ” fee" Was a prelude to ” faw" and “ Aim.” Ho mot a dustman ringing a bell, And he gave him a mortal thrust; For himself, by law, since Adam’s flaw, Is a contractor for all our dust. He saw a sailor mixing bis grog, And he marked him out for slaughter; For on water ho scarcely had cared for death, And never on rum and water. Death saw two players playing at cards, But the game wasn’ b worth a dump; For ho quickly laid them flat with a “spade” To wait for the final “ trump.” Sixteen years have past since, a turbu lent, discontented boy, I left England for • Australia. My first serious study of geo-! graphy began when I twirled about a. great globe to find South Australia, which was then the fashionable colony. My. guardians—l was an orphan—were de lighted to get rid of so troublesome a per sonage: so, very soon I was the proud 1 possessor of a town and country lot of land in the model colony of South Aus- tralia. My voyage in a capital ship, with the best fare every day, and no one to say “ Charles,- you have had enough wine,’’ was pleasant enough: very different from the case of some of my emigrating com —mmero <ma luouiers vriornur flies, who had left good homes, good in comes, snug estates, and- respectable pro fessions, excited by speeches at public meetings, or by glowing pamphlets, de scriptive of the charms of a colonial life in a model colony. I learned to smoke, drink grog, and hit a bottle swung from the yard-arm, with pistol or rifle. We had several very agreeable scamps on board; ex-cornets and lieutenants, ex government clerks, spoiled barristers and surgeons, plucked- Oxonians, empty, good-looking, well-dressed fellows, who had smoked meerschaums, drunk Cham nagne, Hock and Burgundy, fought du els ridden steeple-chases, and contracted deits in every capital in Europe. These distinguished gentlemen kindly took me under their patronage, smoked my cigars, allowed me to stand treat for Champagne, taught me at some slight expense, the arts Of short whist, cc arte, and unlimit ed loo; and to treat with becoming hau teur any advance on the part of the in termediate passengers. . . By the end of the one hundred days of! our voyage, I was remarkably altered?'; but whether improved, may be a ques tion ; as the leading principles I had im bibeu, were to the effect, that work of any kind was low, and that debts were gentlemanly. My preconceived notions,: of a model colony, with all the .elements; of civilization, as promised in London,' were rather upset, by observing, on land ing Just within the wash of high-water, on the sandy beach, heaps of furniture, a grand piano or two, and chests of draw era in great numbers; and I especially re member a huge iron-banded oak plate chest, half full of sapd, and empty. The cause of this wholesale abandonment was soon made plain to me, in the shape of a charge of ten pounds for conveying my> trunks in a bullock wagon, of which they, formed less than half the load,, seven; miles from the port to the city of Add-; Jaide; the said city, which looked so grane in water colors in the Emigration Rooms; in London; being at that time a pictur esque and uncomfortable collection of tents, mud huts, and wooden cottages,, curiously warped, rather larger than a, Newfoundland dog’s kenhel, hut letting; for the rent of a mansion in any agricul tural county of England. It is not my intention, now, to tell the tale of the fall of the Model Colony and colonists of South Australia, and the rise of the Copper Mines which I did not stay to see. When a general smash was ta king place on all sides, I accepted the of fer ofA, rough diamond of an overlander, who had come across from the old colony with a lot of cattle and horses to. sell to: the Adelaideans, He had taken a fancy 1 to me In consequence of the skill X had; displayed in bleeding a valuable colt at a) critical moment; one of the few useful, things I had learned in England; and. when my dashing companions were’ drinking themselves into delirium Ire mens, enlisting in the' police, accepting situations as shepherds, sponging for din- | ners on the once-despised “ wio6a,” and imploring the-captaipa of ships, to let them work their way home before the mast, he offered to take ine with hiin to his sta tion In the interior, and u make a man of me ” I turned my back on South Aus tralia, and abandoned my country lot, on an inaccessible hill, to nature, and sold mv town lot for five pounds. I began to perceive that work was the only means of getting on in a colony. . ■ Accordingly, into the far Bush I went, and on the plains of a. new-settled dis trict, all solitary; constantly in danger from savage blacks; constantly occupied in looking s after the wild shepherds and stockmen (herdsmen) of my overland friend; passing days on horseback atone period: at another, compelled.to give my whole attention to the details of a great establishment,—l rubbed off my old skin. My fashionable affectations died away; my life became a reality,’dependant on my own exertions. It was then that my -.•I heart began to change; it .was then that I began to think tenderly of the brothers and sisters I had left behind, and with whom I had communicated so. little in the days of my selfishness. Barely of tenef than twice In a year could I find fiieitai DEATH’S RAMBLE* BY THOMAS HOOD. |psaltatt«w. THE AUSTRALIAN EMIGRANT’S RETURN. means to forward letters j but the pent once so hateful to me, became now, In hours of leisure, my great resource. . Of ten and often have 1 sat in my hut at midnight, tilling pages with my thoughts, my feelings, my regrets. The lire burn ing before my hut, where my men were Bleeping, reminded mo that I was not alone in the great pastoral desert, which, sloping away from my station, rolled for hundreds of miles. Every sound was re dolent of the romance of the strange land • •to which I had been transplanted. The , howl of the dingo prowling round my sheep-folds; the defying bark of my watchful dogs; the cry of the strange night-birds; and sometimes, echoing from the rooky ranges, the wild mountainous songs of the fierce aborigines, as they danced their corrobberies and act dramas representing the slaughter of the white man, and the plunder of his cattle. When such noises met my ear, I looked up to the rack where my arms lay, ready load ed, and out to where a faithful sentinel, the rebel'O’Donohue, or the poacher, Giles Brown, with musket on snoulder, paced up and down, ready to die, but not to surrender. In this great desert, the petty cares, mean tricks of land jobbing, all the little contrivances for keeping up appearances no longer needed, were for gotten. My few books were not merely read; they were learned by heart; If in the morning I tired horses In galloping my rounds, and settled strife among my men with rude words, and even blows; in the evening, sitting apart, I was lost in the wanderings of Abraham, the trials of Job, or tho Psalms of David. I followed St. John into the wilderness, not unlike that before my eyes, and lis tened, far from cities, to the Sermon on the mount. At other times, as I paced along the open forests, I made the woods resound with the speeches of Homer’s heroes, or the outbursts of Shakespeare’s characters—outbursts that came home to me; for, in those lone regions, X was chief, warrior, and almost priest; for, when there was a death, I read the fu neral service. And thus I educated my self. While thus recalling friends neglected, and opportunities misused, and pleasant scenes of Eastern country life, I most loved to dwell upon the Christmas time In the hot summer of Australian De cember, when the great river that divided and bounded my pastures drivelled to a string of pools, and my cattle were pant ing around—at the quiet hour of the even ing, when the stars, shining with a bril liancy unknown in Northern climes, re alized the idea of the blessed night when the star of Bethlehem startled and guided the Kings of the Eastern world on their pious pilgrimage—my thoughts travelled across the sea to England, I did not feel the sultry heat, or hear the cry of the night-bird, or the howl of the dingo. I was across the sea, among the Christmas revellers. X saw the gay flushed faces of my kindred and friends shining round the Christmas table; the grace was said,' the toast went round. I beam my own name mentioned, and the faces grew sad. Then I awoke from my dream and found myself alone, and wept. But in a life of action there is no time for useless griev ing, though time enough for reflection and resolution. Therefore, after visions like these, I resolved that the time should come when, on a Christmas day, the toast “to absent friends.” should be answered by the-'Auotralian himself. The time did come—this very year of imu uuniury. narnesir imrnua so 'her economy had prospered with me.— The rich district in which I was one of the earliest pioneers, had become settled and pacified, as far as the river ran ; the wild Myals had grown into the tame, blanket-clothed dependants of the settlers. Thousands of flhe-wooled flocks upon the hills, and cattle upon'the rich flats, were mine; the bark hut bad changed into a verandahed cottage, where books and pic tures formed ho insignificant part of the furniture; neighbors were within a ride; the voices of children often floated sweet ly along the waters of the river. ; Then, said I to myself, I can return now. Not to remain; Tor the land I have conquered from the wildorfl'ess shall .be my home for life; but jf will,return, to press the hands that have-longed-for many years to press mine; to the tears that dear sisters shed when they think of me, once almost an outcast; to take upon my knees those little ones who have been taught to pray for their “uncle in a far land across the broad, deep blue sea.',! Perhaps I had-a thought.ot win ning some rosy English face, and true English heart to share my pastoral home. - 1 did return, and trod again the shores of-my mother country. My boyish ex pectations had not been realised, but bet ter hopes had. I was not returning laden : with treasures, to rival the objects of my ■foolish youthful vanity; but I was return ing thankful, grateful, contented, inde pendent, to look round once more on my native land, and then return to settle in the land of my adoption. It was mid-winter when I landed at a small fishing village in the extreme West of England, for my impatience made mo take advantage, during a calm in the Channel, of the first fisher's boat that boarded us. The nearer we approached the shore, the more impatient I grew to land. I in-, sisted on. giving my help to one of the heavy oars; and no sooner had we touch- ■ ed the ground, than, throwing myself into the water, I waded on shore. Oh, easy going men of the great world, there are some pleasures you can never taste; and among them is the enthusiasm, the heart felt, awe-stricken admiration of thedwel ler among pastoral plains when ho finds himself once more among the gardens of England! Garden Is the only word to express the appearance of England, especially the West, where the bright green myrtle lin gers through the winter, and the road side near every town is bordered with charming cottages. Atevery mild found koine new object of admiration, above nil, the healthful fresh cheeks of the people, especially the sturdy, yet delicate eom plexioned lasses tripping away, basket m hand, from the markets, in numbers start ing to one who had lived long where the arrival of one fair white face was an event. The approach to the first great town-was signalized by tokens less pleasing—nay, absolutely painful ;— beggars, ns I passed, stood in their rags and whined for alms : and others, not less pitiful in appearance, did not beg, but looked so wan and mis erable, that it made ray heart bleed. I gave to all, so that the roan who drove me stared, He stared still more, when I told him that I came, from n country where there were no poor, save the drunk en and the idle. . Entering a great town, the whirl, the commotion of passers on foot, on horse back, and in vehicles of all kinds, made me giddy: It was like a sort of nightmare, i The signs of wealth, the conveniences provided for every imaginable want, were very strange to me, fresh from a country where able-bodied labor was always in demand, while a man thought himself equal to the longest journey, through an untrodden country, with a blanket and a tin pot for all his furniture, and ail his cooking apparatus. . When I called in the landlord of the inn to consult about getting on to Yorkshire in two days, as I wished to be witli my friends as soon os possible, he said, If you stay and rest to-night, you can get there by the railroad to-morrow morning, in good time to eat your Christmas dm ner.” I had never thought of that, an had only a vague idea of what a rail-road was like. I reached the starting-place next morn ing, just in time to take my seat in a de parting train. I started, when, with a fearful sound of laboring machinery, we moved; then whirled away. I was asham ed of my fears: yet there were many in -that train to whom a sea voyage would have only been less terrible than the soli tary land journeys on horseback through the Bush of Australia,, which were to me a mere matter of course. Without acci dent, I reached the station near York, where I had to take a conveyance to reach by a cross country road the house where I knew that one of my brothers, farming a few hundred acres of his own land, as sembled as many of our family as possi ble at Christmas time. The little inn was able to supply a gig, driven by a decayed post-boy. Plunging at once into questioning conversation, I found an old acquaintance in the driver, without revealing who X was. Not many, years older than myself, soured, disap pointed, racked in health, ho took a dif ferent view of life to anything I had yet heard. All along my road through Eng land I had been struck by the prosperous condition of the well-to-do people I had met in flrst-classs carriages. His occupa tion, his glory, was departed; he was obliged to do anything, and wear any thing, instead of his once smart costume, and once pleasant occupation —instead of his gay jacket, and rapid ride, and hand some presents from travellers, and good dinners from landlords. In doleful spir its, he had a score of tales to tell of others worse off than himself—of lanalords of posting-houses in the work-house, and smart four-in-hand coachmen bogging their bread—of farmers sunk down to la borers ; and other doleful stories of the fate of those who were not strong enough for the race of life in England. Then I began to see there are two sides to the life that looked so brilliant out of the plate-glass windows of a first-class car riage. The luxuries and comforts which taxes and turnpikes buy, are well worth the cost to those who can pay them; those who cannot, will do better to make shift in a colony. Thus thinking and talking, as I approached the place where, unex pected, I was to appear before a gathering of my relations, ray flow of spirits died away. The proud consciousness of hav ing conquered fortune, the beauty of. the winter scenery (for winter, with its hoar frost shading the trees and folliage daz zling beauty to the eye of those who have been accustomed to the one perpetual green-brown of semi-tropical Australia) had filled me full to overflowing with bounding joyousness. Gaily I answered back to the “ Good-night, master,” of the passing peasantry, and vigorously puffed at my favorite pipe, in clouds that rivalled and rolled along with the clouds of mist that rose from the sweating horses. But the decayed postilion’s stories of misery, ' in which he seemed to revel, damped me. My pipe wont out; and my chin sunk despondingly on my breast. At length I asked, “.Did he know the Barnards?”— “ Oh, yes, he knew them all.” Mr. John hud been very lucky with the railroad through one of his farms. He had ridden a pair at Miss Margaret’s wedding, aud driven a mourning coach at Miss Mary’s ; funeral. The mare in the gig had belong ed to Mr. John, and had been a rare good hunter. Mr. Robert had doctored him f for his rheumatics. “ Did he know liny ■ on, yes; there was 1 Master Charles; he went abroad somewhere to ' furron parts. Some people say he’s dead, got killed, or hung, or something ( and some say he’s made a poweßjaf-fhoney. — Ho was a wild slip of a lad. _ssauy*H time he’s been out in the roads-with some one I know very well, snaring hares '-and smoking of phesants. There’s a mark-bn my forehead now, whore I fell, when ho put a furze bush under the tail of a ; colt I was breaking. He was a droll chap, sure ly.” There was scarcely a kind feeling in the poor man’s breast. The loss of his ; occupation, poverty, and drink, hadsadly changed the fine country lad, barely ten years older than myself, whom I had left behind in England. So, turning, I said, “ Well, Joe, you don’t seem to remember me; I am Charles Barnard.” “Lord, sir!” he answered, in a whining tone, “ I beg your pardon. You are a great gentleman; I always thought you would be. So, you are going to dine with Mr. John? Well, sir, I hope you won’t for get a Christmas-box, for old acquaintance sake?” I was repelled, and wished my self back in Australia; my mind began to misgive me as to the wisdom.of my un expected visit. It was bright moonlight when we drove into the village. I had a mile to walk ; I would not iet chattering Joe drive me ; so left him happy over a hot supper, with no stinted allowance of ale. I walked on quickly, until approaching the old house —the mansion house, once, but the es tates had.long been divided from it —X paused. My courage failed as I passed through the gate ; their clang disturbed the dogs—they began to bark Uercely. I was a stranger ; the dogs that knew mo were,all dead. Twice I paced round, with difficulty repressing my emotion, before I could find courage to approach the door. The peals of laughter, the gay music that rang out from time to time, the lights fly ing from window to window of the upper rooms, filled me with pleasing-painful feelings, long unknown. There was folly in my mysterious arrival; but romance is part of a life of solitude. Unreasonably, I was for a moment vexed that they could bo so merry; but next moment better thoughts prevailed. I stepped to the well-remembered door, and rang a great peal; the maid opened it to me without question, for many guests were expected. As X stooped to lay aside my cloak and cap, a lovely child in white ran down the stairs, throw her arms roundmy nock, and with a hearty kiss, cried, “ I have caught you under the mistletoe, cousin Alfred.” Then she started from me, and loosening her hold, and staring at me with large , timid brown eyes, said,— “ Who are you ? you are not a new uncle, are you?” Oh, how my heart was re lieved! theohildsawalike'ness; I should not be disowned. All my plans, all my preparations were forgotten; I was In the midst of them; and after fifteen years I saw again the Christmas fire, the Christ mas table, the Christmas faces, that I had dreamed of so often I To describe that night is impossible. I-iong after midnight, we sat; the children unwillingly left my knees for bed; my brothers gazed and wandered; my sisters crowded round mo, kissed my brown-bearded checks, and pressed my sunburned hands. Many new scenes of blessed Christmas may I have, never one like that which welcom ed the wanderer homo! But although England has its blessed seasons and festivals, in which Christ mas-day stands first; and, although that Christmas meeting will often again be before my eyes, I cannot stay in England. My life is moulded to my adopted coun try; and where I have earned fortune, there I will spend it. The restraints, the conventionalities, the bonds created by endless divisions of societies, are more than I can endure; care seems to sit on every brow, and scornful pride in imagi nary social superiority on too many. I have found the rosy English face, and the true English heart!

Unfortunate, Very.— A young med ical student from Michigan, who had been attending lectures In New York for some time, and who considered himself exceedingly good looking and fascina ting, made a deadly onset on the heart and fortune of a blooming young lady in the same family with him. After a pro longed siege the lady surrendered. They were married on Wednesday morning.— The same afternoon the young wife sent for and exhibited to the astonished stu dent a “beautiful” little daughter, aged three years and a half. “ Good heavens I then you was a wid ow?” exclaimed the student. “ Yes, my dear and this Is Amelia, my youngest; to-morrow, Augustus, James and Reuben will arrive from the country, and then I shall sec my children together once more.” Tho unhappy student replied not a •word ; his feelings were too deep for ut terance. The “ other little darlings” ar rived. Reuben was six years, James nine, and Augustus a saucy hoy of twelve. They were delighted to hear that they had a new papa, because they could now live at homo, and have all tho playthings they wanted. The “ new papa" us soon as he could speak, remarked that Augus tus and James did not much resemble Reuben and Amelia. 11 Well, no,” said tho happy mother ; “ ray first husband was quite a different style of man from my second—complex ion, temperament, the color or hair and eyes—ail different.’' This was too much. Ho had not only married a widow, but was her third hus band, and the astonished stepfather of four children. But the fortune, thought he; that will make amends. He spoke of her fortune. “ There are my treasures," said she, in the Roman matron style, pointing to her children. The conceit was quite out of the Michi gander, who, finding that he had made a complete goose of himself, retired to a farm in his own native State, where ho could have a chance of making “his" boys useful, and make them sweat for tho deceit practiced upon him by tho moth er.

Sydney Smith's Common Sense.— Never give way to melancholy; resist it ' steadily, for the habit will encroach. I once gave a lady two and twenty receipts against melenonoly.

HoW ex quisitely absurd to toll girls that beauty is no value—dress of no use! Beauty is of value: her whole prospects and happi ness in life may often depend on a new gown or a becoming bonnet, and if she has five grains of common sense, she will And it out. The great thing is to teach her their just value, and that there must be something better under the bonnet than a pretty face for real happiness.— But neVer sacrifice truth.
