Judge not the Heart.
BT CAROLINE A. lIATPEX.
Judge not the heart! it may be God has given
Something to try it which is hard to hear;
Chained down to earth it fain would fly to
heaven,
It must be sad beneath its weight of care.
Judge not the heart! it may be sin has bound it
With fetters which no human band can break ;
And inly shrinking from the light around it,
it cannot from its deathlike slumber wake.
Judge not the heart! it may sec-m cold and
cheerless,
A r et it's warm pulses beat with truth the
while;
In sorrow's hour the eye be calm and tearless,
In joy may give to thee no answering snvile.
Judge not the heart! for none but God may
know
How strong the feelings which are buried
there ;
Beneath a calm, smooth surface there may flow
A depth of thought as rich as it is rare*
Judge not the heart I it may seem turned against
thee,
And wfiat was friendly now seem bitter hate ;
But O forgive, for time may prove thy judge
ment
Was false and erring, when it is too late.

The old Doctor's Story
There are seasons when the grave vard
seems peculiarly beautiful. When hushed
tw iiigiit wings her noiseless way front Heav
en to wrap the temples of the dead in her
soft, transparent drapery, or the pleasant,
moon lights up the mossed graves, making
luminous the faces of the beautiful cher
ubs, that forever v. inged, vet never trke
their flight, it is sweet to wander up the
shaded aisles of the slumbrous etiy, and
muse upon the holy memories of the de
parted.
The stars burned with a lustre peculiar
to autumn skies ; a clear, mild atmosphere
gave a most refreshing elasticity to mv
spirits ; 1 wandered from houie ! scarcely
knew why, and found myself, after a leisure
walk, near the old fashioned burial ground
of Dallston V illage. I was a happy man :
I had received my diploma that day : 1
was really and professionally an M. J).
What directed my steps to the lovely, ru
ral burial ground, 1 cannot now tell, hut as
surely as 1 live, 1 now believe, some mys
terious agency shaped my course. The
gate was open, the walks glittered in the
strong light, the shadows leaned down from
the trees and frescoed the smooth gravel
with quaint tracery ; the buds and flowers
grouped in dark masses upon the gentle
curved mounds—l knew they were buds
and flowers, for their fragrance betrayed
ilicni—seemed whispering in their siient
language to the beautiful dead below. In
my youth 1 was fond of symbolizing:
everything inanimate had its type in some
ideal or menial fancy ; this evening I felt
like a poet; my imagination was as fertile
—ves, T thought as fertile as Milieu's, if
m\ thoughts were not as sublime. 1 saun
tered carelessly along the side where a
hawthorn hedge twined its firm tendrils
together, dragging my cane after me, mus
ing in careless reverie. Sudden! v 1 paused ;
judge I,.'s beautiful lot was directly before
me, it's little silver fountain bubbling up
and breaking into white globules that glis
tened like hoar frost. Here i leaned In a
huge and hoary elm, and closed my evcs
as tfie magic breathing of a flute, skilfully
touched, iloatcd through my dreaming
brain. 1 think that was the most blessed
hour of nr. existence ; for, mingling with
that plaintive melody, came a bright, gen
tle face, with sparkling eyes, and cheeks
just crimsoned enough to resemble two
pale rosi leaves flushing the purest snow.
O ! how 1 loved that sweet May Kendall;
love ! —would 1 could think ol some word
that would express even more than adora
tion ; begetting Hod, 1 idolized her, and,
egotist as 1 was, fancied that my uuspoki u
passion was returned. Put 1 will not lin
ger ; in those few moments I was pouring
gffißggaa? nam gmßraißanaiß sir ©s®2s®aa ffsir^rsjc&3s 3 wnmmmx 3 wmwaa mmmz s>s*
my very soul into the heart that 1 lbndlv
faneied, as youth will sometimes, was j u a
kind of spiritual presence, ever beside me.
My reverie was broken by the approach
oi a stranger, and a light silverv laugh
shut out the music of the ilute, for it was
so like May's, so ringing, joyous. Pres
ent" \ , as the tine, manly form drew nearer,
I recognized the features of one who had
been my college mate two years ago ; 1
would have sprung forward to meeUiitn ;
ins name was trembling on my lips, when
a sight arrested my attention that chilled
ni\ blood and made mv teeth chatter with
a sudden freezing fear. The two had
come almost beside me, and there stopped,
charmed with the little sylvan spot; the
lady held Iter hat by the strings : one arm
was passed confidingly through that of iter
companion, and when she moved her ra
diant face around towards nie—who was
concealed by the shadow—l recognized in
iull flood of moonlight, Mav Kendall. J
do not like, even at this late dav, to review
the feelings that shook my frame when 1
heard them murmur such words of tender
ness to each other in subdued and liappv
tones ; a deathly fuinlncss came over nie
as 1 gathered from their own lips the knowl
edge that they were betrothed, and when
that passed away, a fierce revenge sent the
blood boiling through mv veins ; once 1
could have leaped upon him and demand
ed my May, mi/ love, without whom life
would be a curse, and the world a dread
blank. Hut then, by what right could 1
call her mine .' True she has been most
kind to me, but never more than maiden
modesty might well beseem her conduct.
Now 1 knew—(lud forgive me tor the rage
that tugged at my heart strings as 1 thought
it—why she had talked of Frederick ;
oh ! tool that I was, not to comprehend :
she smiled on me because 1 was Ids friend,
because 1 had ever some sweet recollection
to tell, some comely virtue to praise : and
blinded b\ my own blindness, if { ma\ so
speak, i iancied she loved me.
llow did I command myself enough,
still to stand motionless, even till 1 had
learned tiie day and the hour the wedding
would take place ? for every nerve in in}
body seemed changed to an instrument of
torture. Fortunately they did not pass
mc ; but retraced their steps, and J, bend
ing low, with an almost breaking heart,
slowly left the pleasant grave yard, and
walked towards home, 100 wretched to
think or feel all the crushing weight of
my disappointment. The next day, before
sunrise, ! was on my way to the neighbor
ing city ; 1 was in a strange tumult, that 1
knew not but would prove fatal to me ; 1
was ready tor almost an\ desperate deed,
and bad more than once—l shudder when
1 think of it—contemplated sell destruc
tion : but I called phiiosopbv, nay, some
. tiling higher, holier, to my aid—religion,
arm in time became soothed if not com
forted : thai is, after 1 knew May was
irrevocable married.
J wo months passed ; I deemed an soli"
sulhcieniiy lortitied with good resolutions,
to return home to my chosen place of re
sidence ; it was high noun when I drove
up the main street; a carriage dashed h .
me. a ugni vehicle ; iu another moment n
had turned, and Frederick was abreast.
I involuntarily drew my reins ; his face
denoted suffering.
I or (ud s sake, Doctor Lane, my ear
ly friend, do not stop till you reach Mrs.
Kendall's t-mv May lies there—sic*, dy
ing, 1 he gasped ; how ashy pale he was.
My lace blanched : 1 felt a singular kind
of tremor ; wc dashed ahead, neither
speaking, and in fifteen minutes 1 stood by
the eouch of the young bride. That was
an awful hour thus spent; at its close, 1
pressed down her white eyelids over her
duii glazed eyes—ah! heaven! thought I,
how can such beauty be dead ? And still
lor ah that, lucre was triumph at my heart
until { beheld the awful grief of the bc
ierr.cd husband, saw the big drops like
blood bead bis broad, white forehead : f
almost forced him from the inanimate
body, that tie would hold clasped to his
bosom, kissing the white lips, the whiter
i hec-ks, even the golden locks, that lav
damp and untuned over her shoulders.
And when 1 left that house of mourn
ing, was it not strange lite calmness i li.lt
.scaling down over my spirit ? Could this
thought, even in its faintest tracery, swell
through my mind at such a time—she is
noi mine, and neither in she hia ; 1 am
g'-m that she could not be mine only, none
but death can claim her now 1 fear,
had conscience applied her torch, she would
nave read those scathing words written on
tiic crimson portals ol my heart; but I
must hasten on.
i lie next day • went over to be present
at the funeral services ; and still 1 ielt that
sorrowful happiness. Poor Frederick was
at limes raving, then stupid with his great
woe. The mourners assembled, the beau
tiful dead laid robed in satin in her coffin ;
already the large parlor was filled with
weeping friends. 1 took my station by
the coffin; with unutterable tenderness I
gazed upon that heavenly countenance—it
looked not like stern death, but soft, smil
ing slumber.
1 here were all her young companions
around, village maidens, whose silvery
voices joined in a simple burial song; but
oh how those voices wavered and trem
bled, until teats and sous choked down
FRIDAY EVEAEAC*, HARCKI 5, 18.12*
their music, and one mournful, heart-rend
ing wail sounded through the room.
i he pastor arose and began bis prayer ;
never heard I a tnore affecting petition ;
how gently he spoke of her youth, her
beauty atid goodness ;—the circumstances
under which God was pleased to call her
just as it were standing on the thres
hold of happy life, and looked through
to the rose-colored future. I still kept my
place by the head of the coffin ; my eyes
lull of tears, never once moved from that
holv face.
1 fancied the features grew dim ; I
thought my sight failed, and 1 bent closer
to the corpse. I drew hack, wiped my
eyes—looked again ; God of merer, what
thrill sent a wild shock through mv frame
and smote my brain as with fire ! 1 reeled;
I fell almost over on the coffin ; there was
moisture on the glass, moisture thai came
not oil when 1 applied inv hand, moisture
v pon the inside J My knees trembled,
my heart beat against my side till my
body swayed like a pendulum ; all my se
renity was gone ; the voice of the pastor
whistled in my car ; each moment was an
hour, and yet I knew not what to do. The
conflict came again— it was awful, awful.
11l kept my silence, she tens still the bride
of (tenth : and asmuch mine as unothcr's;
# il i spoke, she was again the wife of mv
rival. 1 dare not think of my emotions
now—l could not hive been myself when
that horrible temptation beset nie, and
whispered me to let the dark grave claim
her, it I might not. O ! that was the
great sin of my life ; 1 hope I am forgiven.
1 he perspiration welled out from every
pore, but the agony was passed ; I could
have throttled the pastor that he did not
cease—yet 1 feared for the very life of the
poor husband, should he know the truth
too suddenly ; there was a tingling from
my head to my fingers'ends ; 1 shook like
an aspen leaf.
* Amen !' oh how I thanked God for that
sound ; 1 still clung to the colli it; 1 was
weak, weak as a child.
It was the custom lor the chief mourners
to be called first, that they might he spared
the shock o| seeing the dear one borne out
beiore their eyes. The poor husband tot
tered out, supported on each side ; do \ou
not think my feelings must hate been sin
gular, as he passed me —next the sobbing
mother. .Now was my time: 'friends, neigh
bors, J gasped. ' call the sexton ; take off
the collin lid : tor (od s sake, delay
not a moment, she is not dead.' ! rather
shrieked than said the last words.
<1! sueli a change as came over that as
sembly ; many swooned—a crowd came
rushing up to the coiiin ; 1 pressed them
back ; the hand of the undertaker trem
bled : and as screw alter screw fell rat
tling on the lloor, inv heart beat quicker
with hope and tear.
i he lid was thrown aside ; in my arms
was the lair creature horn to her couch ;
as I returned a moment, i saw her only
sister standing, as it" riveted to the door;
Iter ciieelvs ghastly, her eyes staring fright
fully. I seized her In the arm, but she
stirred not ; I shook Iter rudely, saying,
4 I nless _\ uu i.eio me. Maris, she may
perhaps really die ; quick ! eome and cut
oil her grave clothes : she must not see
them—must not know of' this !'
\ ith a wild, unnatural burstof laughter,
the eit'l aroused herself from her stupor;
then as suddenly, a tlood of tears came to
her relief; all was right now ; she fol
lowed me into the next chamber, and un
tied the white satin ribbons from the deli
cate wrists, and unloosed the linen bands
on the breast, so that by the time the
young bride opened her eyes, she was ly
ing as ii she had sought her couch lor
pleasant slumber.
And now the most terrible excitement
over, 1 breathed freely ; and yet another
important task was to he accomplished ;
by inv orders the poor husband bad been
briefly informed dial the ceremony would
be detained lor a moment; lie was so dis
tracted with bis grief ttiat all news was
r.like to him—they led him where tliev
liked; he sat in a little room ju.st across
the entry. I went in, closed the door and
stood beside liini ; he glanced up once,
then buried his face in iiis hands with a
deep, unearthly groan, that went to inv
very soul; oh ! i felt for the lirst time
such exquisite joy in the performance of
a good deed—l experienced a new love for j
iny profession.
* Frederick,' said I, placing my arm
around his neck, • Frederick, there is some
good yet in store lor you ; do not mourn
ill this way.'
' 1 am a broken hearted man,' he ut
tered in faltering accents ; 4 do not strive to
comfort me—you only increase my mis
ery.'
' Hut if I could give you comfort you
little dream of; it—if— i! I told you—' I
stammered, and knew not how to proceed,
lor the husband's wild eyes were fastened
on my face, while he half rose with a
strange, quick movement.
4 If what—if what, Doctor Lane —oh!
what am Ito think his voice trembled ;
4 there is something in my heart bids inc
to look to you for hope now ! Yet why,
why V and the words sank mournfully into
silence.
4 Did you ever hear of people falling
into trances, and then when robed for the
burial—'
1 I could proceed no farther ; the excited
man sprang front his seat, clenched both
m > hands, and vvtili lire in his eves, inco
herently exclaimed— 4 What?—how?
dead ?—in a trance !—laid out ?—buried ?
shut up ' —alive— alive ? Great God !
merciful God ! you do not tell me that she
Ml) , w itoin I saw die—who gasped
in my arms—on this bosom—bade me
farewell—grew white and cold—no, no.
you mock rne !'
I tederick, said 1, while the tears
rained down my checks, 4 your wife still
lives—she was only in a trance.'
Jvever shall 1 forget the ensuing scene ;
In tluew his arms around ine, and ituirgcd
me like one frantic. • God bless you !
Heaven bless you ! Oh ! doctor, 1 shall
die of this excess of jov ! lead me to.her:
where is site, my friend, my good friend ?
My May, my sweet bride—not dead—
not dead ! when those eyes looked upon
Iter lace for the iast time ? Oh ! but no
doctor—this is 100 beautiful, 100 good—let
me see her; 1 will be calm : and, doctor,'
he exclaimed, grasping my arm with his
shaking fingers, 4 I would almost give you
mv life for this. 1 would. 1 would ; I could
uot have survived long—you cannot tell
how dearly I loved her. Hear doctor,
God bless vow !'
lie did not even dream, poor fellow,
that he had been my rival.
1 he mother hung over her child—the
husband bent over his bride. Full of
thanksgiving, she, with her large, blue
eyes moved fondly front one to the other,
as she whtsj ered, 4 1 am better, stronger ;
1 shall soon he well again ; I have been
sick very long, have 1 not ?'
I' rederick kissed her pure brow in reply,
and then hid his face in the pillow, to
weep in silence ;—and then 1 left them, a
happier being, a belter man ; and happier
and better I have been ever since.
.May and her husband still live—a fond,
beuuiilul pair, even now.

The Christian.
The real christian is the only prudent
man. He has laid up in store for the
w inter of the grave. He looked through
all the future and provides for it all. He
sees the evils that are before liirn, and
from all of them hides himself in Christ,
lie is prepared to die, to be judged and to
be glorified. The presence of Christ is
upon him at the judgement, and the Spirit
of Christ is sanctifying him forglorv. He
may have no treasure on earth : and no
matter if he has or not, he is only passing
rapidly over it : and if he had, lie could not
take it with him : —but in heaven, his goal,
his home, he lias a treasure. It is where he
is to be—where he will want it—where
he can use it. This is the prudent man.
Mark him. Imitate him.
A Farmer's Wind Mill
John k. Latimer, of Delaware, has a
sinaii wiiid-mbl which supplies a cistern
holding 6000 gallons, and furnishes water
for a large garden and other domestic pur
poses, by running it only a few days in a
month. It is so simple, and answers so
admirably, that a short description may be
useful to enable others to erect a similar
establishment.
The tower is composed of eight posts,
twenty feet high, base eight feel, and top
two feet in diameter, cross-fastened in the
middle to give stiffness. On the top of
tiie posts rests a east ring or cap, in form
of a hat, with top or crown cut off; the
brim is bolted fast to posts, ihe head being
countersunk, to give free play to the col
lar which works around upon the cap.
The shaft is supported upon two ears on
the upper edge of this collar, and is formed
into a crank in the centre, two inches long,
to which is attached the piston rod, that
gives a five inch stroke to a double action
four-inch iron force-pump at the bottom.
The piston rod is a two-inch square ash
stick, connected in the centre by a swivel
joint, just above where it passes through
the guide. The shaft is a two inch rod,
four and one half feet long, supporting an
eight-arm centre, though only four is need
ed, which carries four arms for sails.
The arms are made somewhat sash
shnncd, seven feet long, measuring from
shaft. The sails, live feet by two at the
outer end, and three at the other. The
sails are set upon a level of 35 degrees,
which gives the requisite power to gain
the strongest driving power. Upon the
other end of the shall is a tail, or regu
lator, fourteen feet long, two feet wide at
outer end, tapering to a point inboard.
This is made of half-inch pine, supported
upon an ash shaft three by three, where it
is attached to the socket, on the end of
; haft, tapering to a point—and split to re
ceive the board. The outer end is ele
vated eighteen inches, a wire is attached
to the regulator which hangs near the
ground, by which it is pulled round to
bring the sails in liic wind when desiring
to stoji the mill. To prevent it lroin run
ning, it is hooked to a hoop which is sus
pended four feet from the shaft, and plies
around the tower, by which simple con
trivance the tail always keeps with the
wind. If fastened to a post, a cross-wind
would break it off.—The weight of the
; sails, &c., are balanced by an iron \veiht
upon the opposite end of the shaft.
In building a mill like this, it should be
put together upon the ground, and raised
upon its feet, bodily. The castings were
procured in New York, and cost $lO. the
pump $lB, and the other materials and
labor ought not to cost over $22, making
the whole cost SSO, exclusive of the con
ducting pipe to the cistern on the hill,
about 200 yards distant, and G8 feet ele
vation.—Plan
