TO AN ABSENT HUSBAND. BY ELLA MAY. The South winds kiss my fevered brow, As 'mid the flowers I roam, And pluok them from their parent stem, To deck my oottage home. The summer sky of azure hue Is bright, and oft I stray Unto the rivulet’s glassy stream. To sigh that thou’rt away. The world is gay and beautiful, And merry notes of song Ring out upon the vesper winds,. From hearts both blithe and young ; The silent stars keep vigil, No clouds bedim their ray ; And earth is filled with fragrance— But 0, thou art away. I wake me at the midnight hour, When all is still and calm, And breathe a fervent prayer to Uod, To keep thee, love, from harm; ,And when I sit whore oft wo sat, Just at the close of day— ’Tisat. that hour, 1 breath a sigh. For thee whQ art away. Yes,-thou art far away, fond oue, Far, far away from me, And billowy waters toll between Thy home, my love, and thee ; I miss theo at the evening hour, When night succeeds the day ; I pause, and list, thy voice to hear, Alas! thou art away. Willow Valk, Juno 12, 1857. Mistakes of a Short-Sighted Man. The world will scarcely believe that a limited vision, or near-sightedness unfits a man for any society whatever. Yet such is the fact ; I know it, for Idiave experi enced it ; and now I home alto gether. On my first emerging into man hood, I soon found that 1 had no friends —every one shunned me—and why ? Sim ply because I passed my acquaintances in the-street with supposed contempt. I did not see them. I soon resolved-Jo speak to every one I passed ; “and then,” thought I, in the fondness of my imagination, “there will be no mistake !” I put my res olution at once in practice, and for a while things went swimmingly on! but at length the same result was the conse quence. “ The reason is, simply,” said he gazing about to see that no one observed him speaking to so proscribWK a being as I, “that people are not Willing to meet on terms of sociability' and equality a man who claims the acquaintance bf every loaf er, male or female, he may chance to meet. At Trinity church, last Sunday, you offered your arm to a negro wench ; and you were yesterday observed by a party of ladies in the act of making a profound bow to three of the most notorious courtezans in town !” “ Grood heavens !” exclaimed I, “is it possible ?” These were not the only bad effects of my politeness. A great six-foot whisker ando charged me with the heinous crime of insulting his sister, by speaking to her without the previous formality of an intro duction ; and it was with the greatest dif ficulty that I could persuade the fellow, to refrain from horse whipping me—a thing which he had fully resolved upon, and which nothing but my humble apologies and labored explanations, joined to the entreaties of one or two of my personal friends, deterred him from putting into practice. “ Happier,” thought I, “far happier, had I been born blind, for then I should at least have avoided the tissue of blunders into which I have hourly stumbled. My life has been one continued series of get ting into scrapes in the worst way, and getting out of them the best way I could. Why am I.coupled with such a' destiny 1 I am one of the gentlest and most inoffen sive of mankind, and yet the sulkiest blackguard about town encounters not one half the difficulties which fall to my lot.” Such were my musings, when, on the following day, I dined with a friend at ono of the most fashionable hotels in the city. I was for a while, as I thought, extremely lucky, having as yet made but ono faux pas, which was merely the taking of a glass of brandy for as much wine—a mistake, by the way, which might have occurred to almost any one. A tremendously stout gentleman, from Mississippi, was seated on my left. This individual had just cleared bis plate of a large quantity of roast beef, and was engaged in gazing ominously at a lobster, his shut right hand in the mean time resting upon the table. Unfortunately for myself, at this particular juncture I happened to stand in need of a piece of bread ; and raising my eyes in search of the necessary article, I mistook his clenched fist for a loaf. Taking up my fork very deliberately, I hitched up the sleeve of my coat, and plunged the sharp steel instru ment into the fleshy part of the man’s hand. With a noise between a roar and a growl, the victim jumped upon his feet, knocking down the gentleman who sat next him, and upsetting a waiter who was hur rying along with a large supply of custards. I, of course, jumped up too, frightened, as may well be supposed, almost to death, and attempted to explain matters ; but scarcely had I opened my mouth for the purpose, when I was floored by a tremendous blow from the wounded limb, directly in face. No sooner had the avenger knocked me down, than ho unsheathed a huge glit tering bowic knife, and advanced to anni hilate me altogether. Words cannot pour tray the horror of my emotions. I had seen the fellow carve a pig a few moments before, and had myself admired his dex terity in the proceeding. The company, however, interfered be tween the ‘Mississippian and my destruc tion. My friends made known the imper fection of my vision, and the man of the Far West became satisfied. I was borne to bed nearly senseless, and have not yet recovered from the effects of that adven ture, although my physician is one 0 f the most learned and effioient in the city. He is an Englishman, add when I related to him the occurrence, ; he shook his head, saying: : Terrible ohaps,! these fellows . from Mississippi, ’orrible beings 1 Wonder he didn’t out your ’ed of halltogether !” For the Intelligencer. “ MOTHER DEAR, TRY CHILD IS DYING.” BY MILLER D. EVANS Mother, dear, thy child is dying, Soon I’ll join the band above ; Stay the tear, 0, cease thy sighing, Heaven's filled with purest love. ADgel’s songs are round me playing, Mother, list, they’re sounding near ; Angels by my side are praying For thy child, my mother, dear. On thy bosom sweetly lying, Mother, fear and pain ne’er come ; Softly on bright wings I’m flying, Soaring to my father's home. Heaven’s light is brightly shining, Shedding light around me now; — Mother, let thy arms be twining, Press thy kiss upon my brow. Morgantown, Pa., June 16, ’57. Bill Jenkins' Tronble on the First Wight of his Marriage. Bill Jenkins' was a very modest man ; and although he had mingled with the world at barbecues, bar-rooms, and at many of the et cetera places where men may occasionally be found—yet he was very modest, very—whenever placed in the company of ladies. He trembled when ever a pretty girl would speak to him, and felt like a culprit at the stand when called upon to see “Miss So and So home.” Bill could never explain or account for this most singular timidity. He would sing, frolic, and be as wild as a Rover among men, but a petticoat would unnerve him instantly. Lucy Ann Biggins had “set her cap” for Bill, and it was determined to “lead him or die.” Bill, to tell the truth, loved Lucy, aud was as miserable out of her company as he was timid in it—but, as to “popping the question,” that was impossi ble. Lucy knit purses, hemmed handker chiefs, worked shirt bosoms, and gave them to Jenkins, as well as several gold rings, but still Bill would not propose.;— Lucy declared to him repeatedly that she loved him, and that she was miserable when he was absent ftfrom her, and her happiness in life depended upon being his wife—but Bill was ehiinb. At last Lucy was determined that he should “hear thunder,” and when he next visited her, after some preliminary soft talk on her part, she very affectionately said : “Billy, my dear, when are you going to ask me to marry you 1 for I want to get my dress ready.” Bill fainted on the spot, and hartshorn and water were applied for half an hour before he was finally restored. “What has been the matter, Miss Lucy!” “Oh, nothing much ; you fainted when you were about to ask me to marry you — but I told you yes—and, oh ! how happy we will be when we are married ! 1 will love you so dearly; and as you said next Tuesday, why, I am willing the wedding should be then—my dear Billy, how I do love you 1” “I am willing, Miss Lucy,” was all that Jenkins could articulate, while Lucy al most kissed him into fits. What a glorious victory! Here we ought to stop, but justice to our narrative requires that we should pro ceed to the finale. The next Tuesday had come, and Jen kins was trembling at the approach of evening; something seemed to harrow up his mind, and to no friend, even, would he communicate his deep distress. “You arc not afraid, certainly, to go up and get married—why, to marry such a beautiful, charming and intellectual being as Miss Liggins, I should wish that time would fly like news upon the electric tele graph line ; cheer up Jenkins, cheer up!” “Oh,” replied Bill, “you don’t know what distresses me. I can go up and get married—that is easy enough ; but there is something—l know it—l feel it—l am sat isfied of one thing I never will be able to do, unless Lucy will assist me.” “Explain yourself,” replied his friend, “and if I can, with propriety, I will en-' deavor to render you comfortable.” But Jenkins could not explain. He dared not; if was his timidity ; he saw the Rubicon before him, and he knew he could not pass it: but he was determined to get married, and trust to luck and Lucy. The night came, and they were married. All were merry ; the laugh, the song, the chat and the dance made up a lively party until midnight—they commenced to dis perse, andj at one o’clock, Bill Jenkins was left “solitary and alone” in the hall. Lucy Ann had retired, and her brides maids were off in a distant room. Bill 'was now at the point where he thought his courage would fail him. His situation was a peculiar one. He was not certain which was Lucy Ann’s room, although he had been told, and even if he had known, he could not go to it. The watchman cried “past two o’clock,” and yet Jenkins was still alone, and ap parently engaged in perusing an old al manac, which, by chance, had been left in his coat pocket. An old female darkey, who resided in the family, had been pre vailed upon by the ladies, who noticed Jenkins’ bashfulness, to show him his bed room, and she accordingly introduced her self to him in as modest a style as she well could. “Mr. Jenkins,” said she, “past two o’clock.” “Oh, yes, I know it, I’m going home in a few minutes. Old woman, where’s my hat V’ “It is in Miss Lucy’s room, sir—you can get it there if you’ll go in, Mr. Jenkins ; why don’t you go to bed V’ The old woman seized hold of Jenkins and pulled him along until she got out of the hall, and all his gaze was fixed for a moment upon the entry door ; but she was determined to put him in Miss Lucy’s room, and, after*violent efforts, succeeded. There he stood with the knob/of the door in his hand, but the old darkey had' been smart enough to lock the door outside.— Lucy pretended for some to be asleep, but that sort of gammon would not answer, at last she said : “My dear Billy, what is the matter!” “I want my hat!l’ screamed Jenkins, and Lucy, knowing his modesty, leaped out of bed, and, after caressing him for some time, Billy went to bed with his clothes and boots on, and trembled till morning. * How Jenkins, subsequently, succeeded in getting over his bashfulness, can be known by application to his dear Lucy Ann. Reader, strange as it may appear, there are Jenkinses all over the world, but the freemasonry of wedding life draws the “THAT COUNTRY IB THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.”- LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 30, 1857. curtain before the eyes of the uninitiated. Going to bed on the first night after mar riage must be among the most delicate sit uations in life. Ask your married neigh bor how it was with him. We have no experience exactly in that way. Almost a Convert. —The following rich morceau is extracted from Porter's Spirit of the Times :—ln early life I was a class-leader in the Methodist Church, and although I am still (I hope) a member of that persuasion, I will be frank confess that for many years (to my shame I say it) I have not taken a very prominent position in the different “meetings” which annually occur in our congregation ; still I attend church, and do my best tb be at the gath ering on the Sabbath. Many years ago, while the Poydras street church was stand ing, we had a clergyman from the West, visiting us. He was a man of great piety and eloquent, and had formerly, in fact, shone as a “bright particular” in another place, where people oft do congregate. As customary when such lights appear, a “revival” took place, and for many nights the church was crowded. Your corres pondent is proud to say that he was not backward in coming forward, and on more than one occasion the audience were held by the power of my prayers. Among those who visited the meetings constantly was a young gentleman evi dently belonging to the fashionable world. The cut of his tie, and the twist of his moustache, betrayed him instantly. My prayers more than once were at him, and I could see now and then, as I opened one peeper, that his head bowed under the strokes. Night after night he came, and still I went in for him. Occasionally a groan portrayed the workings of the spirit. I hit him harder opened a whole cask of brimstone under his nose ; and you could tell by his downcast look that he began tp smell saltpetre already. At last the spirit triumphed; his chin dropped upon his brest, a deep groan issued, and all was over. I could wait no longer ; a stifled groan assured me all was well. “Keep on brother, keep on,” I said ; then I placed my hand upon his head to let him see that friends were near. My touch caused him to look up, when, with an expression never to be forgotten, he exclaimed, “Sir, I hope I've not been snoring!" I will only say that was mydast case of conversion. “ Good to Make Men Or.”—A gen tleman once asked a company of little boys, what they were good for ! One little fel low promptly answered, “ We are good to make men of.” Think of that, my young friends ; you are all good to make men and women of. We do not did that little boy -—that you are merely good to grow up to the size of men and women. No, we mean a good deal more than this. You are to make persons that will be respected and useful—that will help to do good in the world. No one, who is not useful, and who does not seek to make the world bet ter, deserves the name of man or woman. You should not forget that, if there are to be any men and women—any that de serve such a name—twenty or thirty years hence, they are to be made of you who are now children. What a world this will be, when you grow up, if all only make men and women ! Will you not ponder this subject, and “ Show yourselves men i” “ Good to make men of.” What kind of men will our youthful readers be twenty years hence ? Will they be classed with the intelligent, the respectable, the indus trious, the prosperous, the benevolent, the pious men of the time 1 for doubtless there will be such. It may require a little self denial, and hard study and hard work ; but such a character is cheaply purchased at that price—and such a character we wish all our readers to bear.— Youth’s Companion. The Capitol. —The new dome of the Capi tol looms up, day by day, though it has nut yet assumed any thing like the outline and proportions it will take when completed. The present care of the architect and workmen is to secure proper supports for the immense weight of material to be used in the construc tion of this immense dome. size of the brackets forming the base of dome, strikes the beholder with wonder. Each bracket weighs 7,000 pounds, and their aggregate weight is 504,000 pounds. The brick wall in which the brackets are fastened is of great strength and solidity, and is to be raised to the height of thirty feet, forming the arch upon which the iron columns of the dome will rest. The number of columns forming the circuit of the superstructure is thirty six, and each column will be supported by two brackets. These columns are twenty feet in height, and weight five tons each. The total weight of iron composing the dome is estimated at fifteen million pounds, or seven thousand five hundred tons ! It would seem that such a ponderous mass of iron, would inevitably crush to powder any supports that the ingenuity of man could devise: but on the contrary, we are told that the foundations of the new dome have a sus taining power more than ten times as great as they will be called upon to endure. Upon the gallery fronts are twenty panels, six feet by ten, with iron frames of exquisite finish, which are to be guilded, and form the frames of a Beries of historical paintings. By the first day of September, the galleries will be completed. The painters expect to have the ceilings finished by the middle of July, when the staging will be cleared away and the spectator will have an adequate view of the elaborate and beautiful representations de picted by the artists. The lobby ceilings are to be beautifully frescoed. They are supported by cast iron plates twelve feet long by six wide, and precisely one fourth of an inch in thickness— an achievement in casting truly wonderful, and demonstrating forcibly the adaptability of this metal to almost all the requirements of the builder.— Washington Star. Quite a Mistake.— The Baltimore Republi can tells a story of a young man who fell in love with a young lady residing in one of the residences of Upper Tendom. The lover fearing a repulse from the head of the family, conducted his courtship in a clandestine man ner. The upshot of the matter was, that an elopement occurred and the parties were married. After the marriage the bridegroom proposed that they should return home and procure the father’s pardon. Judge then of his dismay when, with a trembling voice, she informed him that although she possessed the name of the gentleman in question, she was not related to him in the slightest degree, and was employed in his dwelling in the capacity of a seamstress. Thus all his visions of a secure fortune were scattered to the winds; and the scene of recrimination which ensued was terribly out of character for a newly married couple. CARDS. Dr. John.
