THREE WORDS OE STRENGTH
There are three lessons I would write—
Three words as with a burning pen,
In tracings of eternal light,
Upon the hearts of men.
Have Hope! Though clouds environ round,
And gladness hides her face in scorn,
Put then the shadow from thy brow—
No night but bath its morn.
Have Faith! Wherter thy bark is driven—
The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth—
Know this: God rules the hosts of Heaven.
The inhabitants of earth.
Have Love! not love alone for one,
But man as man thy brother call,
And scatter, like the circling sun,
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these lessons on thy soul—
Hope, Faith and Love—and thou shalt find
!Strength when life's surges rudest roll,
Light when thou else welt blind.
THE BLACKSMITH OF ANTWERP;
They were seated in a rich and shady
arbor, over which the creeping vines wan
dered in every variety of curve, supend
ing large clusters of precious fruits, while
the atmosphere was laden with the mel
low fragrance of the gorgeous plants which
grew in wild untutored luxuriatioe about
the shadowy retreat. The fading light of
day yet lingered and gave a rosy hue to
the face of the maid who sat therein, as
she regarded with mournful tenderness
the youth seated at her side.
"Nay / Quintin," said she, "say not so;
it is feeling which actuates me—it is feel
ing which prompts me to say—it must
not be. Had I not feeling for my father,
do you believe I would act contrary to my
own desires—would cause you unhappi
ness?"
"Is this your love?" said the other
with a tone of fretfulness. "Methinks it
cannot be a very ardent flame when it is
so easily extinguished by the perverse and
obstinate tyranny of a—"
I :itig.rour wen*" interrupted she, as
'ha Jaiii.her &WSW hand tenderly on his
lips. "You will respect the father if you
esteem his child."
The noble mind of the youth was struck
with the reproof, and although it was
averse to his desires, her filial obedience
told of so much pure and holy excellence
that he instantly made reparation.
"Forgive me, dearest," he entreated,
"I spoke hastily and unworthy of myself.
But your words have crazed my soul,
which builds its happiness on the possess
ion of you. If it may not be that I shall
be your husband, oh promise me that no
other shall!"
"I would feign do so," sighed the
afflicted virgin, "but if my father com
mands, can I disobey? I have had no
mother's care since childhood, but I have
scarce felt the loss, be has thrown by the
coldness of a man and been a very woman
in his affection for me. Shall I repay his
kindness with ingratitude? Alas! Quintin
if he tells me to love another I cannot do
so, but if he bids me wed—Quintin you
would not censure ms?"
The expiring rays of the setting sun fell
on her matures as she earnestly glanced
upon her lover.
'Ah," cried the youth with a sudden
start, as he struck has hand upon his brow,
"Why that blush, that agitation? Deceive
me not, Eliza, you are not supposing a
case. This has already happened. I see
it all. He has selected a bridegroom."
The maid sunk her head upon his bos
om, and through her struggling tears she
sobbed--
"Quintip', thou hast said it."
Desperate wea the conflict in the bosom
of the youth as tweet like one in a trance,
his eyes fixed on hers, which like the sun
breaking through the clouds of the pass
ing storm, gleamed from mule' their drip
ping lashes, and soon he saw the rainbow
of hope.
"Who is my rival?" ho asked with a•
voice scarce audible.
"Van Deg," she answered, sorrowfully.
"Do you love him, Eliza?"
"How can you ask?"
"Will you marry him?"
"My father's happiness is dearer to me
than my own. Think you I would wan
tiely sacrifice it?"
" But why Van Deg?"
"Because he excels in my father's art."
":" "Alas!" cried the despairing lover,"why
bad I not been a painter?"
I=lll
The bed of Quintin was oue of thorns

*eft' of thought.
litow vainly, yet how ardently had he
loved, how industriously had he labored
to procure her attachment, and just when
be had achieved the victory over her con
fiding heart, all that he struggled for was
lost—no, not lost—he cottld bear the
thoughts of her death, he could weep over
ber grave, he could nurse the vegetation
above it, he could—but to think that the
prize must be torn from him to be given
to another's embrace, thera was madness
In it.
And then Ven Deg, that rough, haugh

OA,
The Reward of Genius.
himself, when at length exhausted nature
yielded to weariness and he fell asleep.
The mind, though, yielded not to the
fatigue of the body, on the contrary, it
seemed more filled with life. lie imag
ined himself in the street. The bells rang,
the people shouted, and gay equipages
passed by. It was a day of public rejoic
ing, for Eliza, the daughter of Algini,
was to wed Van Deg, the nation's favor
ite, the celebrated painter. The people
recounted the scenes he had' delineated,
and landed the artist to the skies. All
this grated on the mind of the dreamer,
but, he trembled and the cold perspiration
gathered on his forehead as the nuptial
cavalcade approached. They halted at
the chapel, and the groom conducted the
bride, allpale and trembling, to the altar.
He looked - up the aisle, when as the fath
er was about giving his loved one away,
he rushed up and seized her. She shriek
ed and fell dead in his embrace. Her re
lations and the priest all gazed in horror.
He raised his eyes, saw the mystery in
their countenances, and as his face fell
upon the bosom of his lovdy burden he
expired, and at that moment awoke.
Still the forms were before his eyes fresh
in his recollection as if he had beheld the
awful scene by the noonday sun. Impelled
by an unaccountable impulse he arose and
lighted his lamp, and taking a coal from
the extinguished embers in his chimney,
he commenced the portraiture of the group
upon the wall. As he drew each face,
each lineament, he recoiled in surprise as
their perfect resemblance to the individ
uals became more and more impressed
upon him. He concluded the outline, he
beheld in it a faithful transfer of his dream
wanting nothing but the variety of color.
A thousand thoughts darted through his
brain. He was wild and wandering, he
flung himself on his bed, and when he
next awoke the rays of the risen sun had
gilded his apartment.
His first object was to seek the mural
picture, and he trembled lest- it had all
been a dream, but there it stood as if execu
ted by a magic power.
"If this is the result of an effort with
charcoal," cried he, striking his breast in
a delirium of joy, "what might I not
effect with other means? What might be
my reward?"
As daylight sought its slumbers in the
bosom of night. the lovers were again to
gether.
"I am doing wrong," murmured Eliza,
"in meeting you again, since I am an
affianced bride. This night must be our
last. It is a sad thing to part with those
we love. Yet I act as virtue dictates, and
we must meet no more, as—"
" Say not that we shalt meet no more as
lovers. Say that we shall meet no more,
that will be aufilciently severe, for, Eliza,
could we meet but to love, to upbraid fate
which so cruelly divides us ?"
"I Must away," said the girl, "if
Quintin's affection is pure he will condemn
my tarrying."
"Farewell, then, sweetest ! If I lose
thee I will wander to some distant clime,
and strive to bury my regrets in new
scenes and amid new companions."
He imprinted a kiss upon her willing
lips. He watched her retiring form as it
appeared and disappeared amid the
foliage, at intervals, till it was finally lost
to his axious view, and then turned
slowly and sadly away.
Never did father love his daughter with
more fondness than Algini his child Eliza.
Her good was his great aim ; and as he
was an enthusiast in the art of the pencil,
deemed that one of that profession would
be most worthy of his child. These two
passions of his soul mingled together in
such a manner that they became but one.
He considered the canvass as a lasting
monument for genius, and that he would
best consult his daughter's happiness by
uniting her to one who would be alive to
all posterity by his works.
Van Deg had been therefOre selected, as
he was the boast of his country, and the
figures oP his creation wanted nothing but
motion to make them such as their origin
als. Besides he was wealthy and would
add to the influence of the family. Finally,
his daughter was not old enough now to
judge for herself ; and though ehe had con
fessed that she was prejudiced against her
proposed husband, a few years of con
nubial intercourse would overcome that,
and she would ultimately be benefited.
Just as he was at this point of his re
flections on the ensuing day, a letter
carrier entered his apartment and handed
him a letter, saying he would wait with
out for an answer, and had been bound by
an oath not to disclose who had commis
sioned him to deliver the communication.
Algini was astonished at these words,
and as soon as the other retired, broke the
seal and read :
" If i libparent consulted the daughter's
happifill. Would he not seek from her if
she does not love another ? I think she
does. But if Van Deg id to possesa the
fair being, may I be mistaken. May her
marriage to the man of your choice not
hurry her to another world ! Her obedi
ence causes her to submit. I lay claim to
her affections ; but with these do not pre
tend to alter your determination. You
have the reputation of patronizing merit
as it appears in painting. Defer the
nuptials to this day twelve month, and let
Van 'Deg on that day place his chef d'-
auvre on the left of the altar. If the one
which appears on the right does not tell
of a more skillful master, I abide the re
sult. If it does, then it is but fair to leave
to your the privilege of choosing
barparkier from the two."

A year passed away, during which the
lovers never met. Eliza had lost sight of
QUintin, and in answer to her inquiries
concerning him, all she had been able to
learn was that shortly after their last in
terview he had left the city, and gone, no
one knew whither.
The day was now arrived when she was
to become a wife. Sad to her were the
kind offices of the bridesmaid who assist
ed at her toilet ; yet she sustained a smile
upon her face although her soul was
weighed down by grief.
The chapel was thronged by people
anxious to view the ceremony, and as the
bride, richly clad, was led to the altar by
her father, the latter announced that her
hand was to be bestowed on the artist
whose skill was the most undebiable, to
be determined by the merits of the pictures
which stood veiled on either side of the
altar. Van Deg glanced triumphantly
around at this proclamation, and striding
to the picture he had painted, he uncur
talned it to their view.
A burst of applause rose from the audi
ence as ho did so, and well merited was
that cry of approbation.
The scene of the piece was the chapel
in which they stood, and the whole pre
sented to the life. There was the priest
all but breiti.hing, while bride and groom
and their friends appeared as if in the full
flush as joy.
Algini was about to speak in raptures
of the performance, when suddenly the
other curtain was rawn aside, and a cry
of horror burst from the multitude as
they pressed forward to behold. Van Deg
gazed in breathless wonder, and Algini
uttered a wild shriek of despair---
"My daughter !" It was the delineation
of Quintin's dream ; each countenance in
the picture was easy to recognize, except
that of the youth, which was buried in the
bosom of the bride. But ere, witk won
dering eyes, they had fully scanned it all.
it was thrust aside and another appeared
in its place. This represented a lovely
arbor in which Algini, advanced to old
age, was dangling a beautiful infant on
his knee, which bore an expression on its
face of Eliza, who sat on an opposite seat
with her head resting on the bosom of a
young man, whose arm encircled her
waist.
Every one was charmed and delighted
beyond measure, and as they beheld the
youth they recognized him in a moment,
and every tongue cried :
" The blacksmith !”
" Blacksmith no more," said Quintin,
stepping from behind the canvas, " but
the artist, who demands his reward !"
It is unnecessary to say more than that
genius was rewarded ; and to the happy
husband, Quintin Matsys, the blacksmith
of Antwerp, the world owes some of its
finest relics of art . , and among the rest,
the inimitable painting of " The Misers,"
now at Windsor Castle.
Till we have reflected on it, we are
scarcely aware how much the sum of hu
man happiness in this world is indebted
to this one feeling—sympathy. We get
cheerfulness and vigor, *Qt scarcely know
how, from mere association with
our fellow-men and from the looks reflected
on us of gladness and enjoyment. We
catch inspiration and power to go on
from human presence and from cheerful
looks. The workman works with added
energy having others by. The full family
circle has a strength and a life peculiarly its
own. The substantial good and the etlirctual
relief which men extend to one another is
trifling. It is not by those, but by some
thing far less costly that the work is done,
God has insured it by a much more simple
machinery. He has given to the *eakest
and the poorest power to contribute large
ly to the common stock of gladness. The
child's smile and laugh are mighty powers
in this world. When bereavement has
left you desolate, what substantial benefit
is there which makes condolence accept
able ? It cannot replace the loved ones
you have lost. It can bestow upon you
nothin permanent. But a ways hand
has to iched yours, and its thrill told you
that thirre was a living response there to
your emotion. One look, one human sigh,
has done more for you than the costliest
present could convey.
An affecting circumstance happened at
Long Branch. Among some two hundred
bathers were a lady and gentleman who
had shown a slight partiality for each
other's society. An immense wave un
happily carried the lady off her feet. and
buried her for an instant in four foot of
water. The gentleman hurried to her
rescue, and iu pulling her out she hreitth
lessly exclaimed, with a mouth full of salt
water—
"0, Augustus—dear—take me—l per ?
ish—have—mercy—take me, Augustus,
and-0-0-o—take me!"
" Thanks, dearest," exclaimed Augus
tus, "you have made me very happy."
" Thanks—fir what, sir?" coldly ex
claimed the lady, taking a long breath.
For your falorable answer to my pro
posal," said Augustus.
"Proposal? I heard none."
" 0, yes, but you did my dear—l made
it when you were under the water, and
you said yes, and told me to take you;
and I mean to take you at your word."
" Ah--well----dear me—ask pa—and-11
"Of course ? " said A.uwatus.
The pair will be made happy during the
winter.
