In sunshine and in shade, Since first beneath the chestnut tree, In infancy we played ; But coldness dwells within thy heart, A cloud is on thy brow : We have been friends together— €an a light word part us now ? We have berni gay together ; We laughed at little jests, For the fount of hope was gushing, Warm and joyous in our breasts ; But laughter now Lath fled thy lip, And sullen glooms thy brow : We have been gay together — Shall a light word part us now ? We have been sad together ; We have wept with bitter tear?, O'er the grass-grown graves where si umbered The hopes of early years ; The voices which are s-i! >nt there Would bid thee clear thy brow : We have been sad together— Oh, what shall part us now ? The New Moon—A Good Omen. Oh, I've seen the fair now m< n, mother, Her crescent crowns the night; And from its silver horns, mother, r-creams forth a gentle light ; Oh, fair its beam, On wood and steam, Butting all gloom to bight; And I saw her over my right, mother, 1 saw her over my right. On the bridge ! y the maple path, mother, I stood arid looked below, And the rippling wave in the light, mother, .VI: ne bright with its silvery glow; The sr.wg of a bird, The calm air stirred. Of the tranquil summer night; And the moon shone over my right, mother. And the moon shore over my right. And I thought of the land of the blest, mother, Where the holy spirits dwell, And their smiles seemed wove with the light, mother, Of the moonbeams where they fell; And my spirit turned, Where the fair stars burned, With a new and supreme delight, As the moon sb >ne over my right, mother, As the moon shone over my right. And then I wished my wish, mother, Beneath the moon's fair beams ; Strange, strange that thoughts of earth,mother, Should mis with our heavenly dreams! I'm not to blame, I could but name My love in my prayer to-night, When the moon shone over my right, mother, When the moon shone over my right. I heard a sigh by my side, mother, As I gazed on the wave below, And my heart beat strangely fast, mother, But not with fear—ah, no ! I forgot to say, John came that way, By chance though doubtless quite : And the moon shoue over our right, mother, And the moon shone over our right. jtUscrlfaHcoue. From Godey'a Lidy's Book for August. THE LOVE-LETTER. BY KATE WILDFIRE. Andy Cavender was a sad trifler in his way. There was scarcely a maiden in the village to whom he had not made love at one time or another, and all as a pleas ant piece of pastime ; not seeming to un derstand that maidens' hearts were tender things, and liable to be hurt in the hand ling. Many tears had been caused to flow from beautiful eyes, yet, if he knew oi the fact, it did not appear to give him se rious concern. There was always a smile on his lip and a light word on his tongue. At last, however, Andy's heart received an impression. The image of a fair young girl rested upon it ; not as of old, like the image in a speculum, to pass with the object, but like the sun-fixed image of the Daguerreotype. Strange fact! the fickle, light-hearted Andy Cavender was in love ; realiy and truly in love. EPIBESraSiIE) I?v£l!£Jfl2SllHglE> SftT ©3S©lß(g"li EC2HKyEs2ST 2PLa There had come to Woodland, to pass a lew months during the warm summer time, a city maiden, whose charms were too potent for the village flirt. She came, he saw, and was conquered. It was soon plain to every one that it was all over with Andy Cavender. Kate—the lively, witty, darling Kale Archer had subdued him with her charms,though all unconscious ! herself of the conquest she had made. But others saw what she perceived not, and looked on curious for the issue. 4 What do you think of this, Jenny V said Kate Archer, one day, to the young friend with whom she was spending her summer in the country, and she laughed as she spoke, at the same time holding up a letter. 4 News from home !' remarked Jenny, smiling. 4 Oh, dear, no ! It's a lc> e-letter.' 4 What ?' 4 A real righty love-letter, and, as they say, nothing else. Oh, dear ! To think that I should have made a conquest al ready !' 4 A love-letter, Kate ? Well, here is an adventure, sure enough! Whose heart have you broken ?' 4 You shall see and hear for yourself,' replied the laughing girl. Then, as she unfolded the letter, she put on a grave countenance, and, opening the pages to the eyes of her friend, read aloud— -4 MY DEAR MISS ARCHER: —WiII you permit one who, from the moment he saw you, became an ardent admirer, to lay his heart at your feet ? Until you appeared in our quiet village, no maiden had passed before me who had power to win my love. But, from the moment I saw you, I no longer had control over my affections.— They flew to you like a bird to its mate. You cannot but have observed, in all our recent meetings, that I reguardedyou with more than a common interest, and 1 have permitted myself to believe that you read the language of my eyes, and understood tis meaning. You did not turn from me ; you did not look coldly on nie. Have 1 erred in believing thai your heart respon ded to the warm emotions of my own .'— I trust not. If it be so, then am lof all men most miserable. I will wait, with trembling and impatient hope, your answer to this. 4 Tenderly and faithfully yours, 4 A.\DKK WCAI K NIK R.' ' Now, Jenny dear, what do you think of that !' said Kate, gayly, as she folded up her letter. 4 Havu't 1 made a real con quest ?' ' Andy Cavender ! Well, that beats everything !' • None of your country maidens for him,' laughed Kate. 'He must have a city belie.' 'Country maidens! lie's made love to every good-looking girl within leu miles round.' 'lie r ' \ es. There's no counting the hearts he has broken.' ' Hid he ever make love to you V 4 Oil, certainly!' replied Jenny, gayly. ' In real earnest?' 4 Alt! now you conre to the point.— Perhaps you have not heard that Andy is our \ iilage flirt!' ' A flirt, indeed ! and so I am to be one l of his victims. Oh, dear!' 4 I don't know a3 to that,. I more than halt suspect him to be in earnest now. In tact, I ve heard, from more than one source, that he is desperately in love with ' Will he hang himself if l'i inexor . able ?' I ' There's no telling. Rut what kind of an answer arc you going to make to his avowal of love V I ' What shall I say ?' ' Oh, that depends on your feelings. ' He's a regular flirt you say ?' ' I could name you a dozen girls at least, . to whom his attentions have been of a , character to make them believe that his designs were serious. Two or three were made very unhappy when he turned from them, like a gay insect, to seek another I flower.' j 4 Then he must be punished,' said Kate, 1 resolutely ; 'and be mine the task to lay the smarting lash upon his shoulders.— For the man who deliberately trifles with , woman's feelings I have no pity. He j has been the cause ol pain beyond what it is possible for him to feel; and, if I can reach his sensibilities in anv wav, you may be sure that I will do it with a hearty good-will.' 4 1 do not like the thought of giving ; pain,' remarked Jenny, 4 even to a reptile/ 4 Pain is salutary in most cases ; and ; will be particularly so in this, I hope. He 1 will have some idea of how it feels, as the woman said when she rapped her bov over the head with a stick for striking his sister.' It was as Jenny supposed, and as we intended in the beginning; Andy Caven der was really and truly over head and ears in love with Kate Archer, and every line of his amatory epistle was from his heart. Two or three letters were written and destroyed before lie produced one exactly to his mind, and this he finally dispatched in full confidence that, as it came from his heart, it must reach the heart of the lovely maiden. FRIDAY EVEi\l\G, JULY 16, 1853. Two days went by, and no answer was received by the enamored swain. He be gan to feel anxious. On the third day, a neat little perfumed envelop came into his hands, which, on opening, he found it con tained a pink, perfumed, satin-edged sheet of note-paper, on which were a few lines j most delicately written. They were as follows : 4 MY DEAR SIR :—Your letter, contain ing a most flattering avowal of regard for one who is comparatively a stranger, has been received. lis effect I will not at tempt to describe ; nor will I, at this time, venture to put in written language what 1 feel. To-morrow evening I will spend at Mrs. T 's. May 1 hope to see you there? Yours, &c.,' 4 KATE.' Andy was in ecstasies at this answer to his epistle. Its meaning to him was plain as it Kate had said, 4 Hear Andrew, my I heart is yours.' On liie next evening, he repaired to Mrs. 'l' 's, trembling with fond an ticipation. Ou entering the parlor, he found but a single person therein, and that, a young lady named Herbert, to whom he had formerly paid very marked attentions. Aware that she had been made unhappy by his fickleness, not to call it by a harsh er name, the meeting rather threw a damp er over his feelings. But Andy had his share ot coolness and self possession, and, although t cost him a considerable eliort, lie managed to introduce topics of conversation and to talk pretty freely, al though the talking was nearly- all on lbs own side, Miss Herbert maintaining a cold reserve, and answering entire!v in monosyllables. l'or about a quarter of an hour, Andy endured the ordeal, wondering why this particular young lady should happen to be alone in the parlor of Mrs. T , and wondering still more why Miss Archer did not make her appearance. Just as he began to leel a little excited and uneasy, the door opened, and in walked another young maiden whom he hail reason to re member—a Miss Mary Harper. tSiie was also one of his old flames; she appeared surprised at seeing him, and greeted him with coldness. Andy tried to say some sprightly tilings to Miss Harper; but lie was far from being in as good condition as at first. The ell'ort to entertain Miss Herbert had somewhat exhausted his reser voir ol spirits, and his attempts to draw farther thereon were not very successful. The two young ladies drew together ou the sofa, ami maintained a mutual reserve towards Andy that soon began to be pain fully embarrassing. ' What does all this mean V Andy had just asked himself, for he was beginning to feel puzzled, when the sound of light feet along the passage was again heard, and, the door opening, his eyes rested up on the form of Caroline Gray, to whom he had once paid addresses. Very par ticular reasons had Andy Cavender, for not wishing to meet Caroline on that par ticular oeeasiuii; i'.tr he had committed himself to her more directly than to any other young lady in Woodland, having, on one occasion, actually written and sent to her a love-letter. The precise contents of tin:', epistle he did not remember; but often, when he thought of it, he had doubts as to the extent to which he had commit ted himself therein, that were not very comfortable. Soon another and another entered, and, strange to say, eacli was an old flame, un til there were present not less than six Kir, rebuking spirits. Silent, Andy sat in the midst of these—silent, because the pressure on his feelings had become in sufferably great —for nearly a quarter of an hour. It was a social party of a most novel character, and one that was never forgotten. About the time that Andy's feelings were in as uncomfortable a state as could well be imagined, and lie was beginning to wish himself at the North Pole, Kate Archer and her friend Jenny entered the room slowly, the former with an open let ter in her hand, upon which the eyes of both were resting. In an instant, it flashed upon Andy Cavender that he was to lie victimized by the city belle. No sooner had this thought crossed his mind, than rising abruptly, he bowed to his fair tormentors, saying— ' Excuse me, ladies.' And beat a hasty retreat. Rut, ere lie passed beyond the street door there reached him a gush of merry laughter from the musical throat of Kate, I in which other voices mingled. On the next day, he received a letter directed in a delicate hand. It inclosed the one he had written to Kate, and ac companying it was a note in these words: 4 There is, it is presumed, a mistake in the direction of this. It was probably meant for Caroline Gray, Mary Harper, Nancy Herbert, or Jenny Green. In or der that it may receive its proper destina tion, it is returned to the writer.' The village flirt was a changed man after that. He had piayed with edged tools until he cut himself, and the wound, in healing, left an ugly scar. Poor Andy Cavender ! All this happened years ago, and he is a bachelor still, notwithstanding several subsequent attempts to make a favorable impression on the hearts of cer tain pretty maidens. The story of his punishment at Mrs. T 's flew over the village in a few hours, and. after that, no lair denizen ot Woodland for a moment thought of regarding any attention from Andy Cavender as more than a piece of idle pastime ; and, on the few occasions that he ventured to talk of lo\e, the merry witches laughed him in the face. At a camp meeting, a number of ladies continued standing on'the benches, notwith standing fre((ucnt hints from the ministers to sit down. A reverend old gentleman, noted for his good humor, arose and said—' 1 think it those ladies standing on the benches knew they had holes in their stockings, they would sit down.' This address had the desired ef fect—there was au immediate sinking in the seats. A young minister standing "behind him, and blushing to the temples, said : ' O, brother, how could you say that ?' ' Say that !' said the old gentleman, it's a fact-—it they hadn't holes in their stockings, 1 d hke to know how they could get them on.' 'John,' inquired a dominie of a hopeful pupil, 'what is a nailor?' *A man who makes nails,' said John. A cry good. \\ hat is a tailor ?' 'One who makes tails.' 'O, you stupid fellow,' said the dominie, biting his lips, 'a man who makes tails.' 'Yes, master.' returned John, 'if the tailor did not put tails to the coats he made, they would he all jackets/ Sit down, -John, you're an honor to your maternal parent.' A judge an I a lawyer wore conversing about the d "-trine of the transmigration of the souls of m n into animals. • Xow,' said the judge, 'suppose you and i were turned into a horse or an ass, which would you pre fer to be V 1 The ass, to he sure,' replied the lawyer. '\V hy,' rejoined the judge. ' lie cause,' wa> the reply. ' 1 have heard of an inn being a judge, but of a horse—never.' A man, very much intoxicated, was sent t-> lurance vile. ' Why didn't you bail hiui out ?' inquired a bystander. ' Hail hint out,' ■si laiuied the oth you couldn't pump him out.' ' Ain't it wicked to rub 'lis chicken roost, Pete V ' Dat's a moral qn sto n, til umbo ; we hain't tim 5 to argu : it now ; hand down another pullet.'

SINGULAR TASTE.—A funeral sermon was preached at Proctorsville, Vermont, on the 1 lili l>eoeiber last, on the death of Mr. Gil man Bond. By his request, it was written and read to hint, before ho died !

The Banff-hire (Scotch) Journal publishes a description of pieces of the wreck of a large vessel, supposed to be the President, washed ashore on the coast of Scotland. The exact fate of this vessel, or the causes which led to her loss, have always been a subject of inter esting inquiry with the public, but so far with out leading to any satisfactory result. The grave of Aaron Burr, at Princeton, N. J., has been daguerreotyped. Not a stone marks the spot, though Burr is understood to have left a widow; and his ashes lie surround ed by the impressive monuments of Jonathan Edwards, John Witherspoon, Ashbel Green, and other deceased officers of Princeton Col lego, whereof Burr's father was once Presi dent. Such is the end of evil greatness. SHOCKING DEATH. —We regret to learn that Captain Crim, of the canal boat Judge An thony, of this place, met with his death in a shocking manner on Monday last. 11c was on his return trip from the city, and was about crossing the river by the bridge at Co lumbia, when by Bomo accident his leg be came entangled in the tow line of a boat crossing iu the opposite direction. Before he could be released from his dreadful situation, the tow line almost tore his leg from his body. Tcm, lacerated, and bleeding fright fully—his leg suspended by a fragment of bono and a shroa of flesh, Captain Ciiui steered his boat across the river and into the canal at Columbia, and then fell exhausted upon the deck, lie survivod his extraordi nary feat only two hours. — Lycoming Demo crat.
