THIS, TOO, SHALL PASS AWAY.
-0-
Er F. NO ENAN c:rfNISON
An eastern sage being asked for a motto
which should be alike, applicable in pros
perity or adversity, replied, " This, too,
shall pass away."
When in darkness and despair,
Bows the heart in Nl:witless grayer;
In the agony of grief,
Vainly seeking for rellef;:
Doubting, hoping, fear oppressed,
Drifting, from the port of rest;
Through the darkness of the night
Catching not one gleans of light;
Be this thought your help and stay ;
This—shall also pass away.
When in sorrow's darkest. hour,
Shadowed by its awful power;
Vainly grouping thr nigh life's blast;
Vainly longing an• the past,
Tending forward, glancing hack ;
lialtering in the onward Irani:,
So,tou ing, leafing, tempest tossed
Ilope and lite a•id love seem lost;
This your corn f xt—dark the day,
But t n h, too, shall pass away.
When beside the open tomb
Sha,lowod by its deepest, global;
In lib, earth's dark, dreary breast
You have laid your loved to rest;
'Maimed by sonow's wildest waves,
Mirth appeals a place of graves;
Let thb. thought. your being ealm,
On your spirit pour its India,
Sorrow cannot always stay,
' '171.1s shall also pass away,'
Joy ne, and grief, and mirth,
Every hope and fear of earth,
Pride and pa-lion, pleasure, petit,
hand and busyer brain,
hear t of love and heart of hate,
I teal t with well crowned end elate
nigh and haughty, low and poor,
Vile in life, and life's most pure,
All shall vanish like the spray,
For—" this, too, shall pa's
Pa' , away! and is this all?
Can no better fate befall?
Is the ehrklian's hope indeed
Bounded by this ‘vorld's poet• need
,0 ends life's ebbing tide,
"What avails It that he died?
No! the light from Bethlehem's star
:Still beams on us front afar;
And the brilliance of its ray
Never aiot•e shall pass away.
Pay, away! but still temains
84.mething worth• of life's pains,
Poet's lore, and statesman's thought
All shall fade and come to naught.
Peasant's cot and noble's hall
In the general ruin fall:
Still Is something to us given,
Ma us ions of God's rt -, ,t in lieu Vett,
And though earthly thing , " decay
The , c—shall never pass away.
Pass away ! while still remains
Him who walked o'er Judea', plains
And on stormy Galibie
Lulled to rest the troubled sea,
By His agony of prayer,
By His brow, thorn-pierced and hare
By Ills anguish in the hour ,
Bz, lib:victory! by His power!!
This we know—in endless day,
lleaven shall never pass away.

Z nrk`zr 9 FOOL OY MYSELF.
As I sat alone at breakfast, I was some
what surprised on receiving a most cour
teous and pressing invitation from my
uncle Jeremy, to spend a short time with
himself and family at his scat at 'War
wickshire, previous to my leaving Eng
land. The old gentleman and my father
had been estranged from each other for
many years through some slight family
quarrel, so that I had not seen my uncle
Jeremy, save on one occasion, since my
boyhood.
In consequence of my father's death, I
had been summoned from America,where
I had been pushing, my fortune with suc
cess for a considerable time; and now,
having settled my affairs, Iwas preparing
to cross the Atlantic when my uncle's
letter reached me.
My mother and elder brother, with
whom she now resided, were the only
near relatives 1 had in London. Fred
had long ago settled down in the world
a good and kind wife, and well
knowing that my mother would be sure
to receive every attention under his happy
roof, I cared little to remain in England
a homeless bachelor, while anything in
the shape of marriage, was still further
from my rambling notions. Of course,
my brother was extremely obliging, would
do anything he could to serve me, and
expressed himself open at any moment to
take a handsome wager that he could in
troduce me to at least half a dozen creat
ures, the possession of any one of whom
would prove a fortune in itself; but to
all these generous offers I turned a dead
ear. Liberty was sweet, and I felt in no
haste to sacrifice it on the altar of Hymen.
Not that I was a wild young gentleman;
who did not care for the comforts and at
tractions of home; but I didn't wish to
have the honors of a household thrust
upon me so long as I felt happy and con
tented alone.
Six and twenty and alone! ha, ha? No
one to bother or worry you—no shopping
Midsummer and Christmas bills—
free as the air—capital!
I rose from my chair; put my back to
the mantelpiece, lit a cigar, and smoked
away for a couple of minutes most fu
riously, then I consulted my watch, rang
the bell, ordered a carriage, resolved to
see my brother Fred before I accepted or
declined my uncle's invitation.
"Here's an unexpedted epistle I received
at my hotel this morning, Fred, and I
want your advise upon it,'' said I, on en
tering his office.
"What, are you going to get married,
after all?" he asked.
"Are you going to drown yourself, sir?
said I.
o, thank you,
' replied Fred, laugh-
"AVell, then," said I, "don't ask non
sensical questions. Uncle Jeremy has
sent me a very polite invitation to spend
a week or two with him in Warwickshire
before I leave England, and I thought I
would just run down and ask you what I
should do in the matter."
"Why accept it, of course," said Fred.
"Well, but does it not seem strangen
I asked," for I always thought that he
and our father were never on very good
terms."
"No—they were not for many years, re
plied Fred; but matters were put right
between them some time ago, by Uncle
Jeremy apologizing and otherwise behav
ing like a gentleman."
You never told inc of that, Fred,''
said I
"No because I thought you would come
to know all about it in clue time. But I
see here, Torn," continued my brother,
returning the letter, " he even offers his
friendship, should you ever settle in Eng
land; and that would be something worth
having, let me tell yon."
"Yes, doubtless it would,'' said I; "but
I've got a balance at my banker's, and
can manage very well over the water.
Besides, I don.t think I should like to re
main in England, now that I've got so
used to the Yankee fashions."
"Bosh, all bosh, Tom, you'd become an
Englishman again in no time," replithl
Fred, smiling.
"Perhaps so," said I, "but I doubt it.
However, I'll follow - your advise and tel
egraph to uncle Jemmy, saying I'll be at
Marston Hall to-morrow."
"But won't you dine with us this even
ing."
`'Olt certainly," said I; "at six as
usual?"
"Yes, at six," he replied
And we did dine at six, and a jolly
evening we had; but strange to say, not
the least allusion was made to my in
tended visit to uncle Jeremy's until I
broached the subject myself, by asking
my brother if he thought I should enjoy
the excursion, and what sort of people I
might expect to meet there.
"Well, not many of any sort,'' he re.
plied: "for 1 don't think they keep much
company; but you will have a kind host
and hostess, and her daughter :Vgnes. (who
will. I suppose, have to do duty) as your
companion-in -chief."
"Daughter Agnes!" l exclaimed, "why
' she was a mere child when I left England."
"Quite true. Tom." continued my
brother: " but she is a woman now, and
if you dare hazard an opinion. a very line
one too." Then glancing mischievously
across the table, he added, " but of course
we take you to be proof against even fem
inine perfection itself."
"At any rate, Fred," I observed rather
snappishly, " I am proof a g,a inst any - as
sault from that quarter." '
"All right, Tom; only don't make a fool
of yourself, that's all," said my brother.
"No fear of that," I replied,now almost
wishing, I had declined the invitation.
Nothing more was said on the subject
during the evening, and when I took leave
of my brother and his familyl immediate
ly determined not to afford my fair cousin
the least reason to suppose that I had
come to Marston Tfall with the intention
of falling in love with her.
On my arrival at the railway station
where my uncle had promised to join me,
I was disappointed at not finding him, and
was about hiring a conveyance to convey
me to my destination, when up dashed a
dark-ph:am driven by a very remarkably
handsome young lady. She drew up has
tily and beckoned me toward her.
•• Mr. Lawson, I presume?" said the
lady.
"Yes. that is my name," I replied,bow-
mg.
She at once nitroductd herself in the
• most unaffected-marrner, excused the ab
sence of her father on account of indispo
sition, hoped I had enjoyed my journey,
was very glad I had come, because they
saw so little company; and in fact, behav
ed herself just as as if we had long been
familiar to each other.
At length, after seeing my luggage all
right, f took my seat, and then asked in
the politest manner for permission to take
the reins.
Oh! no. thank you cousin,'' she re
plied, with a provoking smile playing
:u•ounil her Nye 11-formed mouth. "I am
rather fond of driving: besides you do not
know the way as well as I do, and these
ponies are apt to become restive some
times: so I think I had better keep my
post till we get home."
I merely bowed in acquiescence, though
I did not exactlyjike her little speech, and
the next moment we were going at a ter
rible speed along a broad, winding path,
that led through an extensive park beyond
which, on a slight eminence, stood Mar-
Eton Han.
"See, there's our house, through the
trees, right in front of us. It stands on a
lonely spot, does it not?" asked my fair
companion.
Very secluded," 1 replied, laconically
remembering the determination I had
made about falling in love.
"Well, we shall be there in a few min
utes," said she; and I rejoice to think
that, however fatiguing our drive may
prove, you will not have exhausted your
self with conservation:'
"Hang it," thought I, " this is right
down impertinence! though I almost de
serve it. By .Tove! she takes things ex
quisitely cool." However, I smiled and
said that I had been trying to take a fly
ing glance at the splendid scenery.
She gave a low, short, merry laugh as
she replied, "that's exactly what I have
been doing for want of other occupation;
but at this speedone cannot observe very
much.''
"There you arc right,•• said I; " and if
WC were in any other place we should cer
tainly be lined for furious driving."
" By the way, are you fund of riding?"
asked my cousin abruptly.
"Well—yes," said I, with some hesita
tion: "but I am not a bold horseman. -
" I am sorry to hear that," she continu
ad with evident interest, " for it is an ex
ercise of which 1 am passionately fond. I
delight in a good tight run across the
country; for nothing raises my spirits half
so much. But see papa is looking at us
through the dining-room window, and
John is waiting to take charge of the po
nies; so you must be ready to alight the
instant I stop."
In another minute, my eccentric, not to
say incomprehensible cousin, did stop, and
I alighted as quickly as possible, but not
without losing my balance and wondering
what could be the meaning of sneli unseem
ly haste.
Throwing the reins to the servant, my
cousin followed me, but with such agility
that I scarcely noticed the glance which
fell upon are from her laughing blue eyes,
but stood before the entrance to the line
old mansion, expecting to have the plea
sure of giving her my hand.
Why did yon not permit me to assist
you?" I asked.
'• Simply because I made up my mind
sonic time ago never to give any more
trouble than I could help," she replied,
with a peculiar smile.
As she finished speaking, the door open
ed, and uncle Jeremy, his venerable phy
siognomy beaming with kindness and
good humor, came forward to meet us,
giving me a hearty welcome to Marston
'Tall. Feeling, however, dissatisfied with
myself, and not over pleased with my
cousin, I took the earliest opportunity of
retiring to my room, as much to collect
my scattered thoughts as to dress for din
ner.
She's a strange, unaccountable girl,"
thought I, surveying the neat and elegant
chamber which had been prepared for my
reception; " but I am astonished at find
log her so masculine and unladylike in
her manners and behavior. Why 'pun my
conscience, she deports herself more like a
young fox hunter than a gentleman's
daughter." Then I stood gazing at the
beautiful view before me, stretching far
away as the eye could reach, and finally
dismissed my cousin from my thoughts
with the consolatory reflection that the
chances were very remote of my ever fall
ing in love with onewlio appeared to de
light more in limn sports than womanly
duties.
Soon after dinner my uncle related the
cause of his long estrangement from my
father, and the manner in which they be
came reconciled„ concluding with the ex
pression of sincere regret that the misun
derstanding, had not been consigned to ob
livion long before; and however much I
felt inclined to find fault with the odd
ways of my cousin," could not help admir
ing my uncle's candor and good feeling.
In fact, I dismissed the subject from my
mind, under the conviction that,like most
other family jars, there had been faults
on both sides.
I had now been a guest at 'Marston I fall
nearly three weeks, during which time I
had made myself familiar with the sur
rounding country, invariably joining my
cousin in her long rides, drives, and out
of-the-way rambles; and, strange to say
the first few days made us tolerably good
friends. For I soon perceived that she
by no means answered my first description
but, on the contrary, possessed many good.
qualities, which in spite of my bachelor
prejudices, I could never find courage
enough to indicate such approval in words
until I so far forgot myself as to express
my surprise, in a bantering tone, that so
accomplished and delightful companion
had not a host of beaux at her feet.
"Sir," she exclaimed in a voice and with
a glance that made me decidedly uncom
fortable, "I do not like trifling. It is
wrong and foolish in our sex, but in yours
it is simply unendurable. Flirting is not
and never can be love. I might indeed
have many admirers, but I do not want
them. No, cousin, when I acknowledge
an admirer, the feeling must be mutual.''
"If I have offended you, my dear cou
sin, you surely will not refuse your for
giveness?" said I.
You have not offended me, only I wish
you to understand that I feel strongly
and think deeply on the subject of your
remark, and therefore cannot suffer the
advances of lovers whom I neither respect
,for their wisdom nor esteem for their
goodness,"*ilie replied. Then hi' a slight
satirical tone, she added, "but in truth, I
do not think I shall accept an offer, how
ever tempting, for a long time yet. I love
my own way, cousin, I like liberty and
a din ire independence. Li short lam such
an odd, queer person, so very unsenti
mental in my conversation with young
gentlemen, that I verily believe sometimes
I shall enjoy the exquisite pleasure of dy
ing an old maid."
On hearing this confession I laughed
outright.
"Of course you may laugh, sir, and so
may I; but that won't increase my pros
pect of marriage," she added, smilingly.
"Egad Fred was right," thought I;
":slie really is a splendid girl." 1 felt my
love of bachelorhood growing less. "Now
if she were only tender, delicate and sym
pathizing, at home, instead of being so
partial to horses, I would almost forswear
ray determination not to make a fool of
myself. But tush why should I give
away to such nonsense? I'll think no
more of lier."
"Hallo, cousin, have you fallen into a
brown study through admiring the color
of your nag" said my companion with
one of her short merry laughs.
No—Eo—that is-1 was just absent for
the moment, I stall - livered out.
"Doubtless present in spirit with some
fair but distant object," she observed,
again laughing louder and more merrily
than before.
This thrust roused me thoroughly, and
Perceiving that my companion was bent
upon trying to get me into an ill-humor
with myself, 1 resolved to tell a fib, and
nip her project in the bud.
"No, you are quite mistaken, cousin,
for 1 was just then thinking of the advis
ability of returning to London," said I,
gravely.
"Well, then, I beg to inform you, in the
plainest terms possible, that you are ex
tremely unkind to let any such idea enter
your head," she replied, in a half-offended
half-playful tone; and then as if not de
sirous of pursuing the subject further, she
continued, "but come, we shall never get
back to the llall at this pace. Here is a
nice little run before us. Don't be afraid
of the fence; it isn't much, and your horse
has gone over it often."
Away we went at a dying gallop. I fol
lowed after her, as she cried, "keep well
up, cousin—you've improved wonderfully.
L did keep as "well up'' as I could, but
on leaping the horse stumbled, and I fell.
I don't know how long I lay insensible on
the ground, but I do know that the acci
dent proved a serious one.
Many hours elapsed before I recovered
consciousness, and on opening my eyes, I
found myself in Marston Hall. feeling
very weak, with an indistinct recollection
on my brain of having had a long but
painful dream. As I lay gazing at the
various objects around me, I could scarce
ly .believe that I was under my uncle's
roof, there seemed to be such an air of
deathlike stillness reigning over the whole
household. I listened for some time, but
could not hear the least indication of life
or motion, and was beginning to get weary
of my oppressive loneliness, when a slight
rustling noise near the door of the apart
ment arrested my attention. Then I im
agined I could hear the subdued accents
of a low, sweet voice, and in another mo
ment the door opened slowly, and my cou
sin Agnes stood before me, fairer and
lovelier than ever, her handsome features
now saddened with an expresion - of deep
est sympathy, her whole manner so
changed that I looked upon her as upon
ministering angel. I made an attempt to
speak, .but she raised her hand and mo
tioned me to keep silent.
"You have been ill, mush], very ill,"
she Said, in a tone scarcely louder than a
whisper, "and now you must keep perfect
ly quiet. To-morrow, perhaps, you will
be much better, and then you can speak
to me, but not now. I have been anxious
ly waiting until you awakened, that you
might take some refreshments which I
have prepared for you; but I must beg
your promise not to think about anything
until you feel quite well again.
I motioned obedience, with a faint, but
grateful smile. She then withdrew as
noiselessly as she came.
Many a weary day and long night elaps
ed before I recovered from the dreadful
shock my system had recieved. Many
times I listened eagerly during my long
illness for my kind and lovely nurse; and
every time she came I seemed to acquire
fresh strength and energy to bear bodily
pain, which I was compelled to suffer.
At length I found myself sufficiently
strong to read and walk within doors, and
the recollection of the happy days I pass
ed as a willing invalid at Marston Hall
repays me now a hundred fold for my
previous sufferings.
I regained my wonted health at last,
but felt no desire to return to London.
in short, tliere was something that would
keep flashing through my mind, making
my heart beat quicker than usual, espe
cially whenever I chanced to be alone
with my cousin. I became dull, pensive
and absent, a change which my cousin
Agnes was not long in observing and call
ing me to task for; but instead of giving
a rational explanation of the cause of my
moodiness, I told her that if she would
join me in a ramble through the park on
the following day, I would then and there
make a very important confession.
"Confession!" she echoed. "say Ido
not want to be made acquainted with
your doings; but if it is anything that an
noys you, and I can help you get rid of
"My confession is not one of wicked
ness," said I, eagerly interrupting her,
and you can, if you will, help me out of
my trouble."
"Very well, then," said she, smiling,
"provided you do not ask me to do any
thing repugnant to my conscience, I pro
mise you my help. But, cousin, why de
lay your statethent until to-morrow? There
is no time like the present, especially for
penitent people; so it you will graciously
reveal what it is that weighs upon your
mind, I will listin to you with most ex
emplary patience."
I looked at her for a moment in silence,
and then replied: "No, cousin, not now.
It is not a trilling matter I wish to speak
of, but one that involves the happiness of
two lives."
"Indeedl" she exclaimed in a slightly
altered tone, while I. could detect a sudden
flush on her half-averted cheek.
" Courage!" I whispered to myself.
"Now, is the time for me to ascertain
my fate." Then seizing her hand.with
passonate tenderuess,said, "Cousin Agues
—dearest Agnes—you will not deny me
the pleasure of calling you by that sweet
name? Nay, turn not from me," I con
tinued, as she made a desperate effort to
release her hand, " until I have told you
how deeply, fondly, truly I have loved
you; how, day after day, I have seen and
felt your goodness and worth, Oh, do not
then plunge me into utter dispair by re
jecting the offer I now make of my love,
my devotion—of the most _preCiOuS. gift
that:man - cad give to woman, and which
you have already taken from me—my
heart!''
I paused, but my companion did not
speak. I gazed intently into her innocent
eyes, and there I read her verdict. I was
made happy for the remainder of my ex
istence.
"But," said my beloved Agnes, speak
ing very solemnly and looking quite dis
tressed, " I thought you had better recon
sider your words, for I am afraid—"
"Afraid of what, dearest?" I asked in
terrupting her.
That you have—"
"Good heavens: tell me," I again ex
claimed, "what have I done?''
" Made a fool of yourself," she replied
with a merry twinkle of her eye.
I saw though the mystery in a moment.
Fred's wife had informed my cousin of
the conversation which took place between
Fred and myself the day previous to my
coming to Marston Hall. So I laughed,
and Agnes laughed, and then we both
laughed together, until the joke had leen
heartily appreciated on both sides.
And now it only remains for me to add
that I did not leave England; that shortly
after I had put the question to my cousin
Agnes, brother Fred and his family were
summoned to Marstonl,where a happy
wedding took place; and wheu my broth
er reminded me of what I had done in the
way of making a fool of myself, I told
him I did not care, so long as I felt con
vinced that I had shown nothing but
sound sense in wooing, winning and wed
ding my odd but good and loving cousin.
ONE OF TEE GENEROUS BOYS.
A small boy in Germantown a few days
since received instructions from his moth
er to be generous and let his little com
panions play with his toys sometimes.
Ills name was Alek, and he owned a brass
cannon. One morning he loaded that
cannon jam up to the muzzle with powder
and slugs, and old nails, mid gravel, and
one thing and another, and turned it over
to his playmates. 'Then he went into the
house and told his mother how good lie
had been. Just as she was about to kiss
him, there was an explosion in the back
yard, followed by piercing screams, while
the cannon burst through the dining-room
window, smashing four panes of glass.
The debris consisted of a dead cat and the
fragments of a shirt which hung on the
clothes-line. Nearly all the small boys in
that vicinity are walking around now
with nails, and carpet-tacks, and old iron
buried in their legs; but Alek is willing
to accept heavy bets that none of them
will ever come fooling around wanting hi;
playthings again. lie considers that mat
ter completely settled for several years to
come.
ALREADY the summer fashions are ap
pearing upon the streets of the Indian vil
lages in Wisconsin, and they are attract
ing a good deal of attention. One of the
Wisconsin papers describes a suit worn
by a boy 5 years old. It consisted of a gar
ter tied around the left leg.
