Spring was busy in the woodlands, Climbing up from peak to peak, As an old man sat and brooded, With a flush upon his cheek. Many years pressed hard upon him, And his living friends were few, And from - out the sombre future Troubles drifted into view There is something moves on strangely In old ruins gray with yeals ; Yet there's something far more touching In an old face wet with tears. • And he sat there, sadly sighing . O'er his feebleness and wrongs, Though the birds outside his window Talked of summer in their songs. But, behold! a change comes o'er him Where are all his sorrows now? Could they leave his heart as quickly As the gloom clouds left his brow? Up the green elope of his garden, .Peet the dial, he saw run Three young girls, with bright eyes shining, Like their brown beads, in the sun! There was Fanny, famed for wisdom: And fair Alice, famed for pride; And one that could say " My uncle," And said little else beside. And that vision startled memories, That soon hid all soenes of strife, 'ending floods of hallowed sunshine Through the ragged rents of life. Then they took him from his study, Through long lanes and tangled bowers, Out into the shaded valleys, Richly tinted o'er with flowers. And he blessed their merry voices, Singing round him as he went, For the eight of their wild gladness Filled his own heart with content And, that night, there came about him Far-off meadows pictured fair, And old woods in which he wandered Ere he knew the name of care : And he said: " These angel faces Take the whiteness from one's hair !" DEAD LOVE. We are face to face, and between no here Is the love we thought could never die; Why has it only lived a year? Who has murdered it—you or I? No matter who—the deed is done By one or both, and there it lies ; The smile from the lip forever gone, And darkness rover the beautiful eyes Our love is dead, and our hope is wreaked ; So what does it profit to talk and rave, Whether it perished by my neglect, Or whether your cruelty dug its grave. Why should you say that I am to blame, Or why should I charge the sin to you? Our work is before us all the same, And the guilt of it lies between us two. We have praised our love for its beauty and grace ) , Now we stand here and hardly dare To turn the face-cloth back from the face, And seethe thing that is hidden there. Yet look! ah, that heart has beat its last, And the beautiful life of our life is o'er, And when we have buried and lefc the past, We two together oan walk no more. You might stretch yourself on the dead, and weep .And pray as the Prophet prayed, in pain; But not like him could you break the sleep, And bring the soul to.the clay again. Its head in my bosom I can lay, And shower my woe there, kiss on kiss, But there never was resurreotion•day In the world for a love so dead as this ! And, since we cannot lessen the skin By mourning o'er the deed we did, Let no draw the winding shoot up to the chin, Ay, up all the death-blind eyes are hid.: From Peterson's Magazine MRS. DR. JOHN'S STORY. I-was tired, worried and overheated.— Cross, as a natural consequence, and, of course, it was just then Dr. John took it into his head to come into the kitchen, although he had been to the house for five consecutive days to see his patient, as I knew, without once inquiring for me.— The knowledge of this only deepened my vexation, and darkened the frown on my brow. I dropped the sheet I was wringing on of the hot suds, and set him a chair. Good morning,' he said, pleasantly ; anything new the matter ?' No,' I answered, shortly. Why do you Ask ?' I thought I saw a new wrinkle in your face,' he replied, smiling. Oh ! it isn't new troubles that bring them, so much as it is the old worries over and often repeated. Besides, I'm growing old !' I then went"back to my washing. In spite of the sigh which unconscious ly accompanied my last remark, my tones repelled sympathy, and so the doctor un derstood it, for, taking a daily paper from his pocket, he leaned back in his chair and read, or pretended to. After watch ing him a little from the corners of my eyes, I was satisfied it was mere pretence ; and, as I finished the last article, I said, without preface— ' Dr. John, I am sorry I didn't take your advice.' g About the millinery interest V- he asked, without raising his eyes, for ho was a mat; of infinite tact, or rather discretion. g Yes,' I said, wearily ; I'm a perfect slave here !' • It is best for any one, a woman especi ally, to consider candidly before she gives up one situation for another, whether she is really about to benefit herself. You made as great a sacrifice of your freedom, selling out your millinery stock and com ing to live here, as you would have done had you married a perfect tyrant.' A sunset flush passed over his face. I busied myself about the basket. I won dered if I had been right—if he really did know of the offer I had rejected when I made the disposal and sacrifice; as he termed it. Ah ! he little knew how true it was. , Yes,' I said, ' my life in my establish went 'was freedom compared with this drudgery. I liked my work—l was strong and healthy. Now my waist is spanable almost with my two hands, and see how thin my arm is !

Wasn't that enough without putting you to washitig this morning? Sit down and listen to me.' I wiped my hands and sat down, waiting patiently one, two, three minutes ; but still the• doctor was silent. He twisted his watch chain into an incomprehensible knot, and then set himself slowly and de liberately to undo it. And when this manoeuvre was executed, he looked at his watch and compared it with the gossiping little clock on the mantle. After all, I don't know,' he said, look ing up, but it might be as well for you to bang up the clothes. It isn't as late as I thought—only half-past eight. You have been expeditious in spite of your weariness.' I took up the basket sadly, and went out. No,' I said, energetically, lit is im possible to suggest anything that will al leviate my forlorn condition.' _ My hopes, excited for an instant, fell into Arctic water, and froze immediately. I could not work very fast, I was so ut terly wretched, so it was some time before I returned to the house. There I found the doctor had set all the chairs in order, stiff and angular against the wall, and was just commencing operations with the broom. I thought I would help you,' he said, in answer to my surprised exclamation.— Part of my project consists in your leav ing this place immediately, and'l knew everything would have to be arranged in perfect order before you would consent to this necessary and initiatory step. Leave this place !' Where was Itogo 1 To the poorhouse ! My amazed look asked and obtained a par tial answer. You are to go see a patient of mine— with me. I have arranged it with Mrs. Myson. So get your bonnet and shawl, as I want to be off immediately.' I went without farther question. The capacious two-wheeled vehicle— none of the little pill boxes country doc tors so much affect--held hmple space for two, and whirled us miles away into the open country before I bad recovered from my delight and amaze at the beauty of the October morning ; for in the town the sun had dried up the rain 9f the night previous, and the streets were dry and dusty as ever. Out 14re the drops still glittered in by-places, and a cool breeze swept up the road as Dr. John slightly drew rein at the entrance to a grove of pines. The eye was satiated with light and color, for the sun shone broadly, and the forest trees which lined the country road with their dark green frontage, lit up here and there with vivid flames, looked like the victims of an auto-da-fe going to their burning. The pines were a contrast with their uniform color and dense shade Heaven's peace over all !' said the Doctor, breaking silence. How tranquil the still serenity of these pines after the riotous bachanal orgies of those walnuts and maples, It is like coming from some high carnival masquerade, and sitting down to read godly John Fletcher in the brooding firelight of home.' It was a picture of peace. The road was seldom travelled but by laden farm wagons ; the silence of centuries dwelt in the tree tops, and moved down the end less opening and closing vistas, a falling cone or nimble step of wood squirrel, mak ing by contrast the silence more still, the stillness more profound. The carriage rolled slowly over the path, where scant grasses grew; the trees clasped hands above our heads, and drop ped the gloom of night about us. I was growing forgetful of surroundings, inhal ing the eternal perfume distilled from the pine's green tresses, ' the garnered balm of incense-breathing morns.' I grew in toxicated—it always affects me so ; I can not explain how, any more than I can why I should wake up crazed and almost gib bering when the moon shines full upon me slumbering. I thought it was having its effect upon the doctor, too ; he lapsed into silence— looked dumb, and, lest we should both turn maniacs together, I ventured to wa ken him from his trance. The horse just then caught a glimpse of a sunshiny road discernible at the end of the grove, prick ed up his ears and moved faster. Doctor,' said I, your patient will die before you get there !' He looked down at me smiling, glanced at the trees on either side, shook himself free from fancies, and replied— (No ; he is better. I came out to minister to a mind diseased, but I recol lected the old adage, Physician heal thy- self !' and have been trying to get rid of a morbid growth of melancholy, which has weighed upon my spirits this year and many a day.' Retrospection is not in general good for heart complaints, but it has cured me, I think.' He smiled down at me again, cracked the whip at the horse's sense of hearing rather than at his hide, and we were whirled at our old pace out of the forest. The sun shone down on the stubbled fields, sentineled here and there with maples in zonave uniforms of red and yel low, a gray old rook, plumed and bearded with moss, lifted his head like a tall grena dier in a distant meadow. Thistle down, silver-winged and buoyant, floated away in the still air, and some lazy winged swal lows chirped and gossiped the opinions about their southern flight under the broken eaves of red farm houses. In the distance stood Merton, the village we had left, asleep in the son, its walks and streets lined and guarded by the maples in their red array. It looked so like tranquillity, repose alike for mind and body ; I sighed, think ing of the home which awaited me there. There was no help for it, but out of . the very depths of despair seemed born a sort of courage which nerved me to take my fate into my own hands—to turn a destiny of quiet suffering by the alchemy of the will into the strength of hopeful endurance. Bat I would try first if there was a chance fdr daylight, down here in the shadows. Deeds are born of resistance,' thought I; passivity corrodes nerve like canker.' So spoke Dr. John, two years ago you obtruded your advice, I thought. I resented the interference. But I see my error now. I wish I had followed a part of your counsels. If you have a plan for me, will you tell it me?, But you scorned my advice then, and called me a perfect tyrant ! Whattuaran teehave, I of better treatment now l ' "THAT CONNIBT IS TEI YOST PROSPILBOUS WHIRS LABOR COMMANDS Till GRRATIST BMWABD."-BIICHANAN. LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 7, 1863. glf I have hewed out cisterns, broken cisterns that have held no water, do not mock me, nor withhold a draught if you hive it. Don't you see I am dying with the thirst of expectancy 7' I clasped my hands nervously. Oh! Dr. John, you do not know how much I need sympathy !' Poor child !' he said. Jennie, lam going to do what I have always said no man with a proper, self respect would do. Nothing except the torture of seeing the woman I love undergo such treatment as you do would ever have opened my lips again. Have your changed circumstances made yon repent the decision of two years ago 1' Selling my establishment ? . Yes.' That was not what I meant,' he said. gAs for the other part,' I replied, rather poverty, starvation and suffering of any kind than a marriage with one whom I cannot love, nor even esteem !' He looked as if I had said enough, and I did speak strongly, for I was grieved and hurt. Did he not intimate in one breath that he loved me, and the next offer me that man as a relief from my self imposed servitude 1 Jennie,' he returned, in a subdued voice, wish you could find some one you considered worthy of your love. I was rash to arrogate so much to myself ; bud I hardly thought I had fallen so entirely from your respect.' ' Respect for you, Dr. John ! That is too cold a word. There is no earthly friend whom I reverence and value so highly ; but not even my trust in you could make me love Everitt Ward.' Everitt Ward! What has he to do with us 1' I am sure I don't know,' I replied When you advised me to marry him, two years ago, I told you it would be impossi ble for me to think of marrying such a perfeot tyrant. I called him so, not you —and now this return to the charge is Ossa 011 Pelion piled.' You are the most difficult case I have found yet to manage,' the doctor said, sub duing some strong emotion. You are laboring under a strange hallucination.' I think the same might be said of your self,' I retorted. 'Perhaps so. And it is that which prompts me to undertake your restoration. Like cures like, you know.' But,' persisted I, ' I will hear nothing of Everitt Ward.' c You shall not from me. I am dele gate for no man. What can you mean, Jennie That I rejected him two years ago. That I still more decidedly resent such interference now. If I could only have got away. How hateful they all appeared to me !' 4 I don't understand yet, Jennie', the doctor said. ' When your father died, and left you penniless, every one admired the strength of mind with which you threw scruples aside, and set earnestly and reso lutely to work. I don't know which was the strongest feeling with me—admiration, love or pity ; for I saw the motive, dear, and felt how useless your labor would be —for I knew Eb's extravagant habits pretty thoroughly. When he married, and I heard from his own lips that you thought of - selling out and going to live with him, I could no longer keep silent. You know how I tried to dissuade you from it. It was then I asked you to come and live by my fireside—to be my cherished darling, as you had been my hope, my star. I remember I was a little exalted— rhapsodical, perhaps—but it seems you totally misunderstood me, and thought I was proposing for Everitt Ward.' Then you were ignorant that he had worried me for a year with his suit ; that Eb had tormented me with entreaties and expostulations ; that morning, noon and night, I was subjected to the same persecutions, if not in words, in con temptuous silence. Then you joined with them, as I thought; for when you offered me a place, at some one's fireside, my thoughts went in the accustomed channel.' g Very ambiguous 1 must have been,' said the doctor, leaning back and drawing a long breath. 'I will be explicit for once. Dear Jennie, if you had then understood me, would your answer have been differ ent I Is It different now He dropped the reins, took both my hands, and looked at me with eyes which would not be denied. I had prayed for sunlight. Here was heaven come down to earth again in a broad sweep of glory. It lit up the dark ness, and opened the doors on the hidden secret of my heart. For since when had I not loved Dr. John ? He read the secret, I am sure, before I gave back glance for glance, heart answering to heart. I love you, Dr. John ! I always have loved you! Will that do How he answered I shall not tell you. The interest subsides when the battle is over, the victory complete. Besides, there was no room for heroics. The main street in Merton suddenly opened before lt3 and we were lost in the whirl and sweep of other vehicles. One little explapation I attempted. My property—' Is all swallowed up in Eb's specula tions— I know, dear. Don't think about it.' Didn't I tell you he was kind and true We both came to the conclusion that it would be better for me to return to my brother's house, though the doctor, in his indignation at the selfishness, which, not content with absorbing my property, had made me—if not a hewer of wood—a drawer of water, would have had me pro ceed immediately to a clergyman's house, and be married thence. But he yielded to my plea for having all things done decent ly and in order. In the evening, the mar riage- ceremony . was performed in the front parlor, Eb sitting bolstered up to witness it, and his wife looking on with what feel ings it is impossible to judge. They gave us good wishes and kind hopes for the future, whioh were reiterated by the whole of Merton, when they came to see us, next day, in our own house. And now,' said Mrs. Dr. John, rising, you wished to know how I came to marry the doctor, and I have told my story. You asked, too, if I had ever repented the step. You must look to the doctor himself for answer to that question. There he comes, through the trees. Ask him.' U" The greatest men are men of sim ple manners. Parade, show and -a pro fession of compliments are the artifices of little minds, made use of to swell them hito an appearance of consequence, which nature has denied to them/ Village Wedding in Sweden I will endeavor to describe a village wedding in Sweden. It shall be in sum mer time, that there may be flowers ; and in a Southern province, that the bride may be fair. The early song of the lark and of the chanticleer are mingling in the clear morning air, and the sun, the heaven ly bridegroom, with golden locks arises in the east' just as our earthly bridegroom, with yellow hair, arises in the south. In the yard there is a sound of voices and trampling of hoofs, and horses are saddled. The steed that is to bear the bridegroom has a bunch of flowers upon his forehead, and a garland of corn flowers around his nepk. Friends from the neighboring farms come riding in, their blue.oloaks streaming in the wind ; and finally the happy bride groom, with a whip in his hand and a mon strous nosegay in the breast of his black jaoket, comes forth from his chamber and then to horse and away towards the village, where the bride already sits and waits. Foremost rides the spokesman, followed by some half dozen village musicians.— Next comes the bridegroom between his two groomsmen, and then forty or fifty friends and the wedding guests, half of them, perhaps, with pistols and guns in their hands. A kind of baggage wagon brings up the rear, laden with food and drink for these merry pilgrims. At the entrance of every village stands a triumph al arch laden with flowers, and ribbons, and evergreens ; and as they pass beneath it, the wedding guests fire a salute, and the whole procession stops; and straight from every pocket flies a black-jack filled with punch or brandy. It is passed from hand to hand among the crowd : provis ions are brought from the wagon, and after eating and drinking, and hurrahing, the procession moves forward again, and at length draws near the house of the bride. Four heralds ride forward to announce that a knight and his attendants are in the neighboring forest, and pray for hospitalty. ' How many are you ? asks the bride's father. At least three hundred,' is the answer ; and to this the bride replies, Yes, were seven times as many, you should all be welcome, and in Wien thereof receive this cup.' Whereupon each herald re ceives a can of ale ; and soon after the whole jovial company come streaming into the farmer's yard, and riding round the May pole which stands in the centre, alight amid a grand salute and flourish of music. In the hall sits the bride with a crown upon her head and a tear in her eye, like the Virgin Mary in old church paintings. She is dressed in a red boddice and kirtle, with : loose linen sleeves. There is a gild ed belt around her waist, and around her neck strings of golden beads and a golden chain. On the crown rests a wreath of wild roses, and below it another of cypress. Loose over her shoulders falls her flaxen hair, and her blue innocent eyes are fixed on the ground. 0 thou good soul! thou hast hard hands but a soft heart ! non art poor. The very ornaments thou wear est are not thine. The blessings of hea ven be upon thee ! So thinks the parish priest as he joins together the hands of the bride and bridegroom, saying in a deep solemn tone, I give thee in marriage this damsel to be thy wedded wife in all honor, to share the half of thy bed, thy lock and key, and every third penny which you two may posess, or may inherit; and all the rights which Uhland laws provide, and the holy king Eric gave. The dinner is served, and the bride sits between the bridegroom and the priest.— The spokesman delivers an oration, after the custom of his fathers. He interlards it well with quotations from the Bible, and invites the Savior to be present at the mar riage-feast as he was present at the mar riage-feast of Cana of Galilee. The table is not sparingly set forth. Each makes a long arm ; and the feast goes cheerily on. Punch and brandy pass round between the courses, and here and there a pipe is smoked while waiting for the next dish. They sit long at the table ; but as all things must have an end, so must a Swe dish dinner. Then the dance begins.— It is led off by the bride and the priest, who perform a solemn minuet together. Not till midnight comes the last dance. The girls form a ring round the bride, to keep her from the hands of the married women, who endeavor to break through the magic circle and seize their new sister.— After a long- struggle they succeed ; and the crown is taken from her head and the jewels from her neck and her boddioe is unlaced and her kirtle taken off, and like a vestal virgin, clad all in white she goes, but it is to her marriage chamber not to her grave ; and the wedding guests follow her with lighted candles in their hands.— Arid this is a village bridal.—Longfellow. RUBBING IT IN.—The following trick was recently played in New York :—A. jeweller who shall be nameless was lately applied to by a nice looking young man to make him a gold ring, having in it a blade very delicate and keen, concealed, except on a narrow scrutiny, and opening with a spring. The jeweller agreed to furnish it for " thirty dollars. On the appointed day the purchaser appeared, paid the stip ulated price, which was fobbed very complacently, and with an air of high.sat isfaction put it on his fingea. The jewel ' ler of course, very innocently, asked what he wanted to do with such a ring. Cut open pockets with it,' was the frank reply. Ah !' said the jeweller, doubtless in amazement, how can you do such things as that with such an instrument, and not be detected ?' The performer replied his art consisted in diverting the attention of people from every thing that looked like a design upon them—that he rubbed his forehead, adjusted his hat, etc., and that discovery came too late. He then bade r him good morning, and went away. Shortly after the jeweller, as he walked round behind the counter, was thus accost ed by the clerk : Why, what is the matter with your pantaloons ? How did you tear them so V Nothing that I know of,' was the answer, where Why, just look !' When lo ! his pocket was found to be cut b? the artist, with his- new instrument, and his pocket book gone, with not only thirty dollars just paid, but about four hun dred beside ! The last seen of the jew eller he was in search of a detective in the hope of recovering his money. Ifs — Ferguson, the poet, died of starva tion. A splendid monument adorns his grave, and on it is written : 4 He asked for bread and ye gave him a stone.' The finest saroasu ever uttered. THE OLDEST CONTINENT.—Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, is occupying him self and instructing his readers, by wri ting a series of geological articles. We extract the following paragraph from his last essay. Commending Sir Charles Ly ell's new work he says : The intelligent reader may learn that the North American Continent'was the first dry land that rose above the waters.— There are on this continent many regions that were geologically very ancient, at the very time nnmerous places in Europe that are hoary with historic .age were not yet born from the womb of waters. When Europe and Asia were not continents, but represented only by a few islands, con sisting of what are now their mountain peaks, scattered over a vast expanse of ocean ; when Mt. Etna was yet unformed, and the island of Sicily was still buried beneath the Mediterranean ; when the At lantio seaboard back to the Appalachian Mountains, and the Valley of the Missis sippi up aslar as Vicksburg were yet be neath the ocean, there were roaming among the Manvais Terres of Upper Mis souri, in the midst of profuse vegetation, some of the strangest animals that have ever gladdened the mind of a naturalist. They became extinct before the era of the mastodon and elephant, and they differ not only from all living species but from all fossils obtained from contemporanoeous geological formations elsewhere. 10 — A bashful gentleman of Holly Springs, Miss. took a violent hankering' after a fair soamtsress of the town : and, after a great deal of hesitation, finally brought his courage up to the sticking point and made an evening call on the lady. He found her busily engaged at work, pressing off a garment with a tailor's goose. She, however received him very courteous ly, and continued her work. The seam stress finally got through with her work, and called out to the negro man in the kitchen : John.' The door opened and a stout burly negro stuck his head through the door-way, and said.: lis here, Alissus.' John, will you take this goose out 1' Our friend sprang to his feet in an instant, and ex claimed : I beg your pardon, Madame, for intruding on you, but I'll go myself !' And before the lady could explain her meaning to him, he had gathered up his hat and made his exit, which was followed by the frantic yells of the girls. I am sorry to add that that little misunderstanding made an old bachelor and an old maid. A BOLD MAN.—A gay fellow, who had taken lodgings at a public house, and got considerably in debt, absented himself, and took new quarters. This so enraged the landlord, that he commissioned his wife to go and dun him, which the debtor having heard of, declared publicly that if she came, he would kiss her. Will her said the lady ; will he ? Give me my bon net, Molly; I will see whether any fellow has such impudence !' My dear,' said the cooling husband, pray do notlbe too rash. You do not know what a man may do when he's in a passion !' ENGLISH GIRLS.—The English girls spend more than half their waking hours in physical amusements, which tends to de velope invigorate and ripen the bodily powers. She rides, walks, drives and rows upon the waters, throws the ball, hurls the quoit, draws the bow, keeps up the shuttle-cock, and all without having it pressed forever upon her mind that she is thereby wasting her time. She does this every day, until it becomes a habit which she will follow up through life. Her frame, as a natural consequence, is large, her muscular system is in better subordina tion, her strength more enduring, and the whole tone of her voice healthier. Girls think of this.
