THE PORES OF lILSIC.
The artist played on his well loved lute,
Till all around were limbed and Mute;
For he breathed firth notes so sweet and clear,
That men and women wept to hear ;
And sang of Wind of human lot,
Till song and singer were qtuto forgot.
And each ono thought within his breast,
Of the thing on earth he Idred the best.
The painter thought of his growing fame,
And the work that should bring hint an endlcss
name.
The poet was trembling with heaven-born might
And he prayed for strength to use it aright. •
The scholar was dreaming of heghts to climb,
And knowledge snateh'd from the gulfs of time.
The•priest, like a saint, sat calm and gray,
And prayed for the soul that was passing away.
The maiden was thinking of books and friends,
And of fair green paths with unknown ends.
The lovcr ho walked in paradise, _
By a sweet young face, with its clear blue eyes

EDWIN GALPIN S, SAORIFIOE.
Stephen Abbott held his little
daughter by the hand; the child en
deavored' 0 stifle tiersniot tiered sobi
while the g at tears rolled down her
face. T e e had just closed over
her mother, and Amy Abbott felt an
unmistakable woe in her heart.
_ " Hush, Amy !" said her father, as
be hawk d her into a carriage. There
was a harshness in his toLe, though
lie meantfit not unkindly, but Ste
phen Abbott was a man who never
indulged in public exhibitions of
grief.
Stephen Abbott's .farm would now
miss one who chid much to aid him in
keeping a thrifty Watch over the ex
penses necessary to carry on the bu
siness. It was a few days after the
funeral that he spoke to his &inghter
thus-:
“ Amy, Lulus!: ,nov: depend upon
yon; the farm feel the loss rf
your mother in ;inore ‘vays than one;
but you are a sen , ;ible gill, and there
fore can aid me eery much in -keep
inf..; matters 4.or,der.”
Now Amy Abbott was about thir
teen years of age, and the re.sponsi
bility she was expected to assume
was very considerable to one of. such
tend -r years.
Ere .Amy Abbott had entered her
eighteenth year, shy bad several. ap
plications for her hand and heart,
but each suitor in turn was referred
to her father, who carefully consider
ed the habits and qualities of the_as
pirants, very ungracefully dismissed
them all; as' in no manner •suitable
for a husband to his daughter. Amy
heard the fiat go forth against sever
al she regarded with great prefer
ence, but she resigned lirself to her
fate with patient humility, . nor
sought to interpose one word in her
own behalf. ,?;)
About this time there appeared in
the village a young men of remarka
ble fine appearance. He was more
over the correspondentof an Million
tial newspaper,. Now, if there was
one profession above. another that
Stephen Abbott, detested, it was that
of journalism. It. was his abomina
tion. As soon, therefore, as he dis
covered that George Wier had made
his daughter's. acquaintance, he sat
faee sternly against the attentions
he was
, paying her. Some of \Ter's
friends took the trouble to inform .
Stephen Abbott that young Wier's
character was unexceptionable, and.
his talents bespoke him a promising;
career.. But farmer Abbott was not
to.be appealed to iu a way like that,
and his prejudices °Leo having taken
roqt, it was very hard to eradicate
theta - from an obstinate mind like
his. He denied the young than 'ad
mission to his house, and otherwise
treated him so rudely, that the poor
fellow, who was deeply in love with
Amy, wrote her a farewell letter ex
pressed in the most touching lan
guage, and then departed.
The field now seemed pretty well
free of "popin-jays,'-' as Stephen Ab
bott termed them, and . his mind be
gan to feel some repose.
One day he came riding home, ap
parently in excellent,spirits. He had
been to the posk e offide and received
!a,letter from au old friend ; in fact,
the writer had been one of his youtli
ful sweethearts, who having married
had settled in au' adjacent county.
Stephen Abbott had not seen her for
years, and so when she wrote that,
her husband and herself would be
glad if he would receive her 'son for
a few weeks as a guest,' farmer Ab
bott felt a thrill like that he knew' in
olden times, dart through his heart.
The young luau, was 23 years of
age, and he had been suffering from
a slight illness which 'rendered a
.change of 'air desirable. Moreover,
he vas an enthwiiastic farmer, and
would be sole heir to his fath'er's for
tune. These, thing farmer Abbott
learned from .the letter which 'Mary
Galpin had written to him.
Amy listened to, her father with a
`manner which betrayed no anxiety
to meet the object of his encomiums.
To be sure, she thought it unusual
for him to appear so delighted over
one he had as yet never semi, bat
the poor girl did not know the mo
tive which prompted her father to
applaud . . on,e whose mother he• had
loved in other days.
In due season, Edwin Galpin ar
rived at Stephen Abbott's dwelling.
He was received by Stephen Abbott
_with a welcome so warm that it must
have been gratifying to him. :Ile
was.a grave and dignified young man,
a great reader and' a profound tallie:r
on sgiicultural subjects. Perhaps it
mavhave piqued Amy's vanity that
lie
may
so lunch time and atten
tion to her father, and so little to
herself, But after awhile he com
=menced to seek her society, and she
became reconciled enough to treat
him as a favorite, guest of her father's
house. •
IEI
Weeks flew by, and Edwin Galpin
Announced his intention of returning
to bis home, taut Stephen Abbott
would not listen to any inch propo
‘Aul, and the consequence was that
;eadpin had to-lengthen his visit.
In many little ingenious ways he
continued to throw Edwin and Amy

together, and the fruit of this scheme
soon began to manifest itself. Gil
pin began, to' find himself desiring
the presence of Amy more frequently
than bad been his wont, and matters
drifted en until at last be openly de
clared his attachment for the daugh
ter of Stephen, Abbott.• It at first
she hesitated in placing her hand
arid heart in his keeping, it was only
natural. Up to this moment she had
not learned to love' him, but she
could not deny that she respected
bim, and regarded his talents. The
rest might follow, and she surely was
building on a good foundation. ,
Edwin Galpin never seethed 'so
well contented as when in Amy's so
ciety. He read to her and walked
with her, begiuling many an hour
that would have hung tediously on
her hands, for her father had provid,
ed the assistance of a housekeeper,
which gave her more relaxation from
the duties hitherto imposed i.upon
her.
When Edwin Gilpin disclosed his
feelings to Stephen Abbott, he had
small reason to complain of the way
he was received. , The farmer was
scarcely able to restrain the joy he
felt at the happy termination of his
Wishes ; and when the father and
mother of Edwin wrote, testifying
their approval, Stephen's delight was
complete.
A round fortune httd-been amassed
by farmer Abbott, and as the Galpins
‘4re well provided with the 'world's
gbods, Stephen rejoiced in the know-,
lidge that his daughter would be
properly settled in this life.
Edwin Galpin at last left for his
home, ,to return again in a month.
True to his promii , e, he came back
to Amy and to love. It would be
difficult to describe the exact state of
Amy Abbott's feelings. .She -c)nld
not ileny that-she felt gfeat respect
fur Edwin Gulpin's learning, and she
almost at times fancied she loved
him. Perhaps the remembrance of
the handsome young journalist still
lingered'in her mind, forbf all Amy's
lovers, tlii4 was the one' who made
the most lasting impression on her
11,110.. But time softens if not oblit
f:rates the recollections of those hal
cyon days of our youth, and Amy
Abbott after awhile could not help
confessing to: herself that Edwin
Galpiu was worthy of her heart's best
affection.
There was a re-union of the, Gal
pin and Abbott families. Mr. .and
Mrs. Galpiu came to visit Stephen
and hiS daughter Amy. It was the
first time Mary Galpin had' seen her
former lover since her marriage, and
as a„consequence tht]ir conversation,
during the early portion of her visit,
chiefly related to olden times. It was
arranged between them that they
Should j•yintly set•thu young folks up
in l)sines. Stephen therefore pur
chaso h fine farm, situated between
his Old place and the village, while
Mr. Galpin furnished the house and
supplied the stock and farming fin- '
plenients, besides giving Edwin the
control of a large sum in bank.
The wedding took place early iu
the spring, and the young people im
mediately moved to their new hoine.
Edwin , Galniu's energy and judgment
soon made his farm the wonder and
admiration of all who saw it. He
was a very happy man, rejoiciag , in
the best cultivated place. and hand
somest wife in themeighborhood. He
had also become EO popular that .he•
was elected to filll several positions
of responsibility in the counts. Thus
far matters went along very prosper
ously with Edwin Galpin - and his
wife.
They had been married 'about a
year when 'business called Edwin
from home several-. weeks. It was
shottly after his return that he one
}day remarked-to li t is wife :" I forgot
;to tell you, 4my, that I met one of
your old friends while away, and
gave him an invitation to visit us
during the coming summer."
" 07.ie of my old friends ?" enquir
ed Amy. '
" ies, one of yours as well as
mine - We were school fellows. Now,
can you guess his name r
" Indeed I can't," replied his wife.
Who was it, pray tell me?"
-" George Weir," responded her
husband, with t laugh at her confu
sion, for she turned very 'red.
" I had ceased to remember him at
all. Indeed, he had qUite passed
away from' my mern.ry.
"Never mind, Amy," replied her
husband, patting her cheek, " you
need not oe ashamed to acknowledge
George Weir as one of your suitors,
fur ho has risen to be a very import
ant man, and wields a great deal of
influence.' He told rue all about the
times he knew you. He ib a good .
fellow and is apprelciated by all who
know him."
That day Amy Galpin.
.pondered
more deeply upon the past than she
bad done since she became a wife.
Sha called to mind tithe hours that
George Weir and herself had passed
together, and Wondered if ho really
had forgotten them. Poor. Amy, she
Was treading upon dangerous ground,
.but it was pleasant, nevertheless, to
call up these old fancies, and invest
thcril, with some of the glories of the
past. George Weir was still single.
She would father have heard that he,
was married; not that she doubted
any latent weakness that might. still
linger in her mind; but then it would
be safer, for if the matrimonial bonds
are not always a barrier, they at least
serve as a. veil, and that is a protec
tion, albeit a poor one in time of
temptation.
As the days and weeks passed
away,,Arur grew familiar with thei
expected Visit, and her heart no lon
ger fluttered when she thought of it.
So, *when Oeorg,e Weir really did ap
pear at thti fartn r -Amy was • able to
meet him With less embiirrassment
than she would have experienced' at
an earlier date.
He was somewhat cli inged; ho had
grown stouter, and contact with the
world had brushed rid'something of
youthful exuberance; but in all else
ho was the saute. He still preserved
the same fervid glow of enthusiasm,
the same hopeful and sanguine teim
perativnt, but the old look of the
eyes was. still there., Perhaps Any
Gulpin recognized the last mole
surely than the rest, when he gaze
fixedly into,her face.
I once heard of a student who so
carefully studied the face of the hea
vens that ho was able to give a cor
rect reply regarding the weather
without rising from his -- pillow, no
matter what hoar he- was awakened.
It may have been that knowledge
akin to this enabled Edwin Galpin to
determine the gradual decay, hour
'by hour, of the affection she had so
recently pledged to himself. He
could trace its waning as surely as
he could mark the furrow his plow
share had upturned. He was of a
proud and sensitive nature, and
never could , bring himself to confess
to his wife that there was a• shadow
on hiri bead., Had he done so t ere
might have been fewer regrets in af
ter days. But he permitted things
to take their own course, and pa
tiently waited for Amy to give ,him
the opportunity to have an explana
tion, which of course she never did.
- She no longer met him with the
glad smile she used to wear, and she
was not near so ready to kiss his hat
brow when he came in from the field,
as she formerly had been wont to do.
He noticed this, and more too, and
knew that-sooner or later some hearts
would feel enough of sorrow.
Weir was the constant companion
of Anai, and she seemed to be as
much infatuated with him as of old.
There will doubtless be many who
will feel disdain for the want of repo
lution and independence of character
betrayed by Edwin Galpin; but be it
remembered, he loved his wife .so
well that he could never induce him
self to believe that she would persist
in a course so calculated to bring
trouble to them both', when she calm
ly reflected on the risk she was in
But - matters could not run on in
this way always. Rumor ,at 'hist
reached the ears of Stephtn. Abbott,
which caused him to seek an inter
view with his son-in-law. ',lt was'
late in the afternoon when Edwin
visited Abbott's farm. The two sat
and talked until late, and Stephen
Abbott came to the conclusion to ac
company Galpin home, and speak
.with his daughter next morning. It
was'dark when they started - to walk
for Galpin's house, and ere they
reached it a lurid light lit up the
heavens and the loud . cry of "tire"
was heard from the people of the
village -
Running as fast as possible, they
discovered Galpin's house ih. flames.,
The lower floor was a _sheet of fire,
and a cry of,horror arose as Amy ap
peared in one of the upper witidowS,
and stretched forth her hands in sup
plication. No one dare venture into
that'furnat':e, and there were no lad
ders at hand.
"Save my child—save her 1". cried
,Stephen Abbott; but no one seemed
willing.to take , :the risk.
"Will no one save her ?" he cried
wringing his hands.
There was a stern look on the face
of Edwin Galpin as be approached
the spot , where- George Weir was
standing with the cro:d as pale a's a
ghost. He lard his hand heavily : .on
his shoulder, and placino. ° his lips on
a level with his ear, he hissed thrd'
his clenched teeth, " Now is your
time! save her, for you. lore her!"
There was -a deep meaniril , in these
words,:and a terriblelearnatuess in
his manner.
"1 canna,. I dare not,'." pleaded
Weir, as he shrunk from Galpin's
g aze.
,
"Save her—yon love her !" hoarse
ly reiterated Galpin, tightening his
grip on Weir's Shoulder.
am afraid —I dare not," ex
claimed the terrified man.
Flinging him out of his path, as
he cast upon him a look of ineffable
disdain and loathing, Gilpin fipraug,
into the burning building. No one
ever expected to see him return. Bat
he reappeared nevertheless, bearing
on his strong arms the form of his
wife securely wrapped in.
,a blanket.
Laying her at hen father's feet, he
reeled and fell forward to the earth.
It was the last time his eyes ever be
held earth's.gladness. Never again
might he look upon field or grain.
Stone blind from henceforth must
walk Edwin Gilpin, and a child
could lead him. Ho was fearfully
burned, and for the sake of one
whom the fire had not even scorched.
It is pleasing to record the sequel
Whatever may have been the feel.
ings of Amy Galpin previous to the
event just recorded, one thing is
true : never did woman more sincere
ly repent for the indifference she had
manifested toward her husband, and
never was there a more devoted wife
than she proved to be. For hours
she would sit with her arms around
Edwin's neck- and her cheek pressed
to his own, and dearer to her heart
was 'lle poor sightless man, who had
lost so much to shield and, save her,
than all else in the world beside.

DOW TEE PEOPLE LOOK AND ACVr-8110PS,
The visit - of the Princess of Wales
to her old home in Denmark, and the
ceremonies thereon attended, give
the correspondents of the London
press an opportunity to make Den
mark and the Danes known to the
English people. The Princess of
Wales is a great favorite. in Den
mark, and the people most affection
ately claim her 'as their own. A
writer in the Times is mach struck
with the country people around Co
penhagen, who are nice lookingshon
est, simple and bright ; the women
in their quaint bonnets, consisting
of a shape fitting tightly over their
head. down as far as the ear, . and
about five inches broad, forming the
bane Work; with over this and at
tached to it a-white handkerchielor
square of muslin or lace, terminating
in a point behind triangular fashion,
look very nice, and they are never ,
tired- of lookinr , at all and every
thing, and wha t is more they are
honest enough to show that they are
pleased. The servants are clean,
bright and attentive. The people
are all -devoted to
Arno' lig all, clasSes soap' anul• water;
brush and comb, are the init and
not the exception, and appear to be
used iu plenty, and with vigor ; their
'linen is a caution in the may of wash
ing, and might be well copied at
home by our laundresses and wash
erwomen. The Danes pride them
selves on this—that not even in Paris
is such washing to be procured.
IN HONESTY
they are unsurpassed, and set , an -ex
empt° to all the World. If' you enter
a shop and buy ,an article, ,you can
not speak to them, but you pin down
your money and ypu pay exadtly the
price, and your proper change is.giv
en. Call a cab, drive anywhere, put
a dollar ih the driver's hand, which
is six merles—his fare is two ; he re
turns four, takes off his cap, bows,
and off he-goes tprite contented, and
if you give hinJanother for himself
ho 'is delighted beyond measure, • and
thinks you a jolly sort of customer. I
saw a cab set doxyn a lady and gentle
man ; they passed and were abiaost
out of *sight ; ttle lady had dropped .
her' gloves ,without missing them -;
the cabby discovered them and rush
ed frantically after her. Off„lat,
bows, most politely handedl tire !
gloves, and returned. Go into . a'
cafe ; is music is going on or • sing
ing, one of the performers will go
around with a small plate. If you put

POLITENESS
IS the rule, and the multiplicity of
bows ,is t uite .discouraging to 'hats.
In every s4eet, and every place of
amusement you see hats wildly ex
tended in the air, the dames appear
ing to be most particular in the way
of saluting 'eaclr other. Two shop

it is held, at almost arms, length, and
with a sweep replaced to be probably
off again in a few minutes, and so on'
as long as, a friend or ackuaintance
is in sight, whether on ills side of
the streel or on the other. If you
enter a 'shop, off goes your hat, or
you are considered a pooror—hen,

particular in galuting their "officers,
whether non commissioned or not,
and as particular are the officers in

distance and dense the crowd.
- The women are tall, and both they
and the men are fast walkers. The
men begin to smoke when young,
and keep it up. Pipes are seldom
seen in -the streets. High small
heeled boots are almost / unknown.
Beggars and drunken people are
scarce.' The people are evidently
well to-do, ns all are comfortably and
well clad, and 'all the women well

THE LOOEST PLUME OF UTAH.
The Latter Day Saints, with Their
intense following of, the Mosaic raw,
have) not been free from the an
cient! scourges of that -period. The
locust, with " a garden of Eden be,
foie him, and , behind him a desolate
wilderness," makes a periodical - visit
to the Mormon farmers, and reminds
them of the old times when the cho
sen of the Lord brought a like visita
tion on the obdurate Egyptians. •
The flight of these ravenous de
stroyers was thus described to me by
an eye-witness and a fellow-traveler:
" I was

he began, " while shipping at one of
these settlement we have just left be

custs were coming, he said, and all
bands were engaged in endeavoring
to save the cornfields. A man .who
had ridden in - great baste from a dis
trict sorne'twerety miles east, report
ed that' the locusts were at work,
and might be .expected at . our place
the next- morning. I hurried out,
and fouxi'd 'every man, woman and
child in :the place fortifying their
•crop agai,nst the invader. Some *were
-digging ditches-and turning the Wa-, -
tars of the neatest - stream into the
dyke, while others were piling up
dry brushwood, ready to be 'ignited
nheti the enemy approached. Again
others brought a sort of draught .
ma
chine on, the ground, fitted with - re ,
volving pans, the Wind of Which was
supposed tolie able •to clieck\.the
flight of, the lOcusts. And the utmost
dismay anAConsternation prevailed.
The daylassed in the utmost ac
tivity. \u lady in the village was
disengaged.. 'She felt the; danger,
and, at c ' the same time, a certain ins,
bility to combat, with what the en
perstitiotts regarded (and all 3.10 r,
mons.are superstitious) as a viSita
tion from the Lord.
" About noon. the nest day they
perceived a dark cloud in the- east,.
.and they knew that the moment of
trial was at hand. I could give - you
'no idea of the numbers and voracity
of the locuSts,. Every blade of, grass,
every ear - of corn, every 'wiped and
leaf of Verdure disappeared like stub

gourmands. From about the height
of fire feet to the ground the air was
densnwith.their masses.. They flew
in our•faces like'hail, filled our-pock

our feet. The_women and children
and men formed a rank before- the

their back, btit although the slain
were riled up many feet high, thelo

locusts pressed op. An . d_ when' at
last the despairing farmers withdrew
and gave up the fight, all that night
the locusts fell - on, their roofs like
had-stones and crawled in through
everynook and crevicein their build

The next morning When they arose
e,t, daylight to inspect the extent of
their damages, a woful'sight present
ed itself,. The ,country was indeed a,[
waste; Months of. bard labor and"
hopes of a handsome return from
the crops -had faded away as the
blade of grass before the locust; not
a trace,remained to indicate that the-,
seed had ever been planted, or that
a grand tract of swaying grain glis
tened in the sunbeams on the morn
ing before. But patiently the work
was recommenced, while the locusts
passed on in their' westward 'courseof desolation. The Indians had a
rich feast. To a red man's palate a
roast of locusts is a delicious treat.
This insect has a decided- dislike to

TEE MINISTER'S WORK AND PAY.
The clergy are the worst paid body
of laborers in- the cotifitry. - They
work with ability and zeal. , They
are educated, sensitive men, often
carefully nurtured, and they are:ez
pected' to be ; ,everybody's
,servant, to
hold their time and talents at the
call of all' the whimsical old women
of the parish and of the town. They
are to preach twice or - three times
on Sunday, to lecture and expound
during the week, to, make parochial
calls in sun .or sform, to visit dui
poor, to be the' confidenty and-'. coma
celor of 'a throng, and always'in eve- .
ry . i,eniibn to be fresh and bright,and
al4ays ready to n do any public sett
vice that may •be asked. Of course
rn
the clergymanmust be c iraZ of
the school col:au:Wee, mad; director
of the town library, and e preSi
dent of CLairitable soci ies. He
cannot give a great deal of nlbney
for eddcation r and chairitable and
:esthetic purposes—not a very 'great
deal—lout he can always give time,
and be can always make a .s_l2eech,
and draw the'resolutions, and-direct

liveliest astouishiment.. In those '
days the aristocracy - did not find it
undignified to share their :conches

their hospitality. It was, on

It is noii commonly believed that ;
where two kersons 'sleep together,
one abstracts from the other some
amount of vital force. This is es s.

pecially the esie where old and young
persons share the same bed. be
sides, in al' room where, there is no •
decided current of air, the emana
tions from! the lungs and skin of the
sleeper poison the atmosphere for a
censiderable distanee. , In the public
wards of great hospitals, never less
then two and a half feet is allowed
between each bed, 'Lir this reason.—
In the sleeping apartnients of royal- •
ty and nobiltty single beds are every

sleeps upon a narrow bed arida hard

a wadded silk quilt. t The Emperor
and Empress of Austria take their
royal slumbers on similar beds; with

One of the principal advantages of
these narrow beds is that, the Mat

THE YENTIIATION - OF STAIILII3.—CIose
and ditty stables impair the constitu
tional. Strength
.of the horse, sub
ject him to disease, and lesson his'
changes of ' recovery. , Iu carrying - a'
out proper ventilation, care is to be;
taken equally against too much cool
air, esj)ceially strong drafts, and,too
much warm air. Professor 'Yonatt,
in his treatise on the horse, lays great
stress on the regular ventilation of
the stable. and says that "the rettfin
to a hot stable is -quite as.
.dangems
as the change from heated atmosphere'
to a cold and biting,. air. Alany' . a.
horse that has travelled without. , in- -
jury over a bleak country has been
suddenly seized with i4ilitnimation!.
andiever when he has inumediately.,
at the end of his journey, been tur
'rounded with heated and . foul 'pin-
And in another' plale he adds, "Of •
nothing arc, we- more certain than
that, in 'the majority'of the' maladies
of the.horse,- those rof the worst - and
most - fatal- character, dire,ctly, or
indirectly, are to be attributed to' the
unnatural heart of the stable.
THE HABIT OF Farprme.—Pretting
is both useless and .unnecessary ; it
does no 'good and a great deal of
harm; yet it is almost a universal sin.
More or less we are all given to it.
,We fret over almolt everything. In
summer because it is too hot, and in
winter because it is too. cola; we fret
when it rains±because it is. vet, and
when it d'oesVt rain because it is
dry; when we are sift, or when any
body else) is sick.
