THE PARTING.
BY GEORGE 1). PRENTICE.
THE signal from the distnnl strand
Streams o'er the waters blue
It bids me press thy parting hand,
And breathe my last adieu j
But oft on Fancy's glowing wing
My heart will love to stray,
And still to thee with rapture spring
Though I am far away.
With thee I've wandered oft to hear,
On Summer's quiet eves,
The wild bird's music, soft and clear,
Borne through the whispering leaves j
Or see the moon's bright shadow laid
Upon the wavelcss bay,
Those eyes their memory cannot fade,
Though I am far away.
My lire may feel LTope's withering blight,
Yet fancy 's tearful eye
Will turn to thec the dearest light
In retrospection's sky ;
And still the memory of our love,
While life was young and gay,
Will sweetly o'er my spirit move,
Though I am far away.
'TIs hard, when Spring's first flower ex
pands, To pass it coldly by,
Or see upon the desert sands
The gem unheeded lie ;
The gentle thoughts that bless the hours
Of love cau ne'er decay,
And thou wilt live in memory's bowers,
Though I am fur away.
The Sun has sunk, with fading gleam,
Down evening's shadowy vale,
But see his softened glories stream
From yonder crescent pale j
And thus affection's chastened light
Will memory still display,
To gild the gloom of sorrow's night,
Though I am fur away.
"DON'T TELL BETSEY JANE."
6 6 A NT) FOR YOTTTt. l!f An,.n n
AND
Hot
etscy Jane !"
Mr. Nicodemus Harding, having ut
tered this caution in a low, earnest tone
of voice, alighted from a Concord wagon
in front of his own farm house door, and
stood there for a few moments in a brown
study, watching the figure of his brother-in-law
and lawyer, as he drove back tow
ard the village of AY ,whenco the
two men had just come.
" Don't tell Betsey Jane!"
Now Betsey Jane was Mr. Nicodemus
Harding's wife a stirring, notable soul,
who made more butter and cheese, and
took more eggs and fowls to the village
market, in the courso of the season, than
any other woman for miles around.
Strong, healthy and hearty, she " made
the housework fly," to use her own en
ergetic expression ; and if Nicodemus
Ilardins owned his farm that day, and
was a " well to do," in fact a rich man
to boot, it was owing in no small measure
to the skill and energy, and economy and
go-ahcad-ativeness of his Betsey Jane.
What was it, then, that the ungrateful
man was not about to tell her ?
" It would never do, never ?" thought
Nicodemus to himself, shaking his head.
" She'd he wanting a new carpet, or a
new silk gown, or the house all painted
over, or some such nonsense. No! the
woman is the weaker vessel, and it won't
do to trust one too far. Their heads
wou't bear it.
So Mr. Nicodemus passed through the
house, and out toward tho barn with
the preoccupied air of a hen who has an
egg to lay, and don't know where she can
hide it from the eyes of mankind to the
best advantage. The kitchen was empty
and silent as ho went through, it. But
oh! if ho could but have seen the buxom,
good looking female who stole silently
followed him on his way toward the
barn !
Mrs. Harding came back in about
twenty minutes or so, with a face red
from suppressed laughter.
"Dou'ttell, Betsey Jane," she said,
giggling into her gingham apron. " You
are a very smart mun, Nicodemus, and
my brother, Tim. Noyes, is another, and
a lawyer into tho bargain. Don't tell
Betsey Jane indeed! Two wretches!
you deserve all you'll get pretty soon.
Betsey Jane said no moro but bided
her time. A week passed away, and
then brother Tim's wagon drove up again
to tho door, and Nicodemus stepped into
it, and was off to the village once more.
Betsey Jane had asked in vain to go.
Nicodemus was bound on "business
which a woman could Dot understand,"
ftlje times, New Bloomfiefo, fla.
he loftily exclaimed. Her lord nnd mas
ter well out of sight, JJetsey Jane went
about business that a woman could under
stand, with a merry twinkle in her bright
bluck eyes.
At 4 p. m. Nicodemus returned home
again, looking quite as important as be
fore. He tip-toed along through the
kitchen, Betsey Jane watching him from
the corner of her eye the while. He
passed out into the shed. A fragrant
smell of smoke came forward to greet
him an odor of burning corn-cobs
gradually curing ham.
Nicodemus turning deadly pale, and
ran frantically forward to a large fire
smouldering in the ash house, and a large
ham or two, covered over by blankets,
hanging placidly there! The yell he
gave brought Betsey Jane from the house
instantcr, to find Nicodemus groveling be
fore the ash house door, weeping and
wailing and tearing his hair, and uttering
yell after yell of despair !
' Why, bless me f what's the matter?
are you in a fit? Let mo run for the
camphor!" shrieked Betsey Jano.
'Camphor! Bring arsenic!
prussic acid ! Briug pison of some
Bring
kind
franti-
pison, pison ! yelled Nicodemus
caliy.
" Woman, you've ruined me ! Twelve
thousand dollars in government bonds
did I put 'into that ash-hole for safety
just a week ago, and you've gone and
burnt them up to cook that cussed bacon !
Pison ! pison ! pison ! And let me get
out of this weary world !"
"Oh so; that is what you were not
going to tell Betsey Jane ! Ain't you
ashamed of yourself, Nicodemus Hard
ing?" Nicodemus could not answer. He
laid prostrate in the ashes, and howled !
"Get up and don't be a fool !" said
Betsey Jane, amiably. "I heard you
and brother Tim, conspiring at tho door
that day, and watched you to the ash-hole,
and soon found out what you had hid
away there. Woman is the weaker ves
sel no doubt, but she don't put twelve
thousand dollars where the first .match
that comes handy can bura it all up!
Here are your bonds, Nicodemus ten
thousand, for I've kept two for nfy hones
ty !"
Poor Nicodemus ! He gathered himself
up out of tho ashes, and took his bonds
what was left of them. He rather
thinks it pays best, on the whole, now,
to tell Betsey Jane.
Curious Mode of Getting a Wife.
ONE little act of politeness will some
times pave the way to fortune and
preferment. The following sketch illus
trates this fact :
A sailor, roughly garbed, was strolling
though the streets of New Orleans, then
in a rather damp condition from recent
rain and rise of the tide. Turning the
corner of a much frequented and narrow
alley, ho observed a young lady standing
in perplexity, apparently "measuring the
depth of the muddy water between her
and the opposite 6'idewalk, with no very
sati.sGed countenance.
The sailor paused, for he was a great
admirer of beauty, and certainly the fair
face that pccpcdut from under the little
chip hat, and the auburn curls hanging
glossy and unconfined over her muslin
dress, might tempt a curious or admiring
glance. Perplexed, tho lady put forth
one little foot, when the gallant sailor
with impulsiveness, exclaimed, "That
pretty foot, lady, should not bo soiled
with the filth of this lane ; wait a mo
ment only, and I will make you a path."
So springing past her into a carpenter
shop opposite, he bargained for a plank
board that stood in the doorway, and
coming back to the smiling girl, who was
just coquettish enough to accept tho ser
vice of tho handsome young sailor, ho
bridged the narrow black stream, and she
tripped across with a merry "Thank
you," and a roguish smile, making her
eyes as dazzling as they could bo.
Alas ! our young sailor was perfectly
charmed. What else would make him
catch up and shoulder tho plank, and fol
low tho little witch through the streets to
her homo, she twice performing tho cere
mony of walking tho plauk," and each
timo thanking him with one of her elo
quent smiles. Presently our hero saw
the young lady trip up the marble steps
of a house, and disappear within its roso
wood entrance For a full minute ho
stood looking at tho door, and then with
a wonderful big sigh, turned away, dis
posed of his drawbridge, and wended his
path back to his ship.
Tho next day he was astonished with
an order of promotion from tho Captain.
Poor Jack was speechless with amaze
ment; he had not dreamed of being ex
alted to the dicrnitv of a. nomnA Twn'
office on board one of tho most splendid
ships that sailed out of tho port tf New
Orleans. He knew he was competent,
for instead of spending his money for
amusements, visiting theaters and bow
ling alleys, on his return from sca,he pur
chased books, and hud become quite a
student ; but he expected years to inter
vene before his ambitious hopes would be
realized.
His superior officers seemed to look up
on him with considerable lieniency, and
gave him many a fair opportunity to gath
er maritime knowledge ; and in a year,
the handsome, gentlemanly young mate
had acquired unusual favor in the eyes of
the portly commander, Captain Hume,
who had first taken the smart, little black
eyed fellow, with his neat tarpaulin and
tidy bundle, as his cabin boy.
One night tho young man, with all the
other officers were invited to an enter
tainment at the Captain's house. He
went, and to his astonishment mounted
the identical steps, that two years before,
the brightest vision he had ever seen
passed over a vision he had never for
gotton. Thump, thump, went his brave
heart, as he was ushered into the great
parlor; and like a sledge hammer it beat
again, when Captain Iluine brought
forward his blue-eyed daughter, and with
a pleasant smile said, "Tho young lady
was once indebted to your kindness for a
safe and dry walk home." His eyes
were all ablaze, and his brown checks
flushed hotly, as the noble Captain saun
tered away, leaving fair Grace Hume at
his side. And in all that assembly was
not as handsome a couple as tho gallant
sailor and the " pretty ladie.'
It was only a year from that time that
the second mate trod tho quarter-deck,
second only in command, and part owner
with the Captain, not only in his vessel,
but in tho affections of his daughter, gen
tle Grace Hume, who had always cher
ished respect, to say nothing of love for
the bright-eyed sailor.
His homely but earnest act of polite
ness towards his child, had pleased the
Captain, and though the youth knew it
not, was the cause of his first promotion.
So that now tho old man has retired from
business, Henry Wells is Captain, and
Grace Hume is, according to polite par
lance, " Mrs. Captain Wells." In fact,
our honest sailor is one of tho richest
men in the Crescent City, and he owes,
perhaps, the greater part of his prosperi
ty to his tact and politeness iu crossing
the street.
A Ridiculous mistake.
ATA FAMOUS and popular water
ing place a gentleman one night was
suddenly seized iu bed with an excrucia
ting pain in the stomach, which, neither
brandy, No. G, nor any other remedy
could remove. His wile, after trying a
number of things ia vain, and having ex
hausted all her stock of remedies, left her
husband's bed-side for tho purpose of
getting a warm application. Guided ou
her return by a light which sho saw
shiuing in a chamber, and which she
supposed was the one just left, she softly
entered, and was not a little surprised to
find her patient apparently in a deep
slumber. However thinking ho might
still be suffering, she gently raised the
bed-clothes, &c, and laid tho scalding
poultice upon the stomach of her husband
which no sooner touched the body of
the person than he, greatly alarmed, and
writhing under the torture of the burn
ing application, shouted : " Hallo ! hallo !
what in the name of heaven and earth
aro you about there?" then with one
spring from his bed, ho mado for the door
and rushing down stairs, declared in a
frenzy of excitement, that some one lmd
'poured a shovel of hot coals upon him.
jne woman, overcome with excitement
and alarm gavo a frantic scream, which
brought her huiiband hurriedly in from
tho next room to her rescue. Tho hus
band was so much excited, and also so
much amused with tho singukr mistake
and tho ridiculous position of his better
half, that ho forgot all his pains; but ear
ly next morning he, his wile and trunks
left for parts unknown. Tho poulticed
gentleman still retains tho handkerchief--a
beautiful linen fabrio with the lady's
name on it, which ho considers of rare
value.
XSST A good old Massachusetts deacon,
recently deceased, was onco callod iu
question upon some points of faith per
taining to his denomination. With a
great deal of earnestness his reply was:
" Don't tell mothat I'm mistaken. I
know all about Congregational ism, for my
son has taken tho Congregational Globe
for years."
SUNDAY READING.
Were Christ's " Sermons on th
Mount" more regarded by Christians,
there would be less of religous preaching
and more of practice enjoyed in the
world.
fi The Bible is a light house.and de
signed to give particular information, not
in regard to the country where it stands,
but to enable tempest tossed mariners to
gain a safe harbor. Albert Barnes.
BST We should let God turn over the
leaves in the book -ef life, and be content
to read what is written thereon. It is
enough to know that we have a Father
who will watch and protect us unto th
end. Beeeher,
Abraham Lincoln used to say the
best story he ever read of himself was
this : Two Quakeresses were traveling
on the railroad, and were heard discus
siug the probable termination of the
war. " I think," said the first, " that
Jefferson will succeed."
Why does thee think so?" asked the
other. " Because Jefferson is a praying
man." And so is Abraham a praying
man," objected the second. " Yes ; but
the Lord will think that Abraham is
joking," tho first replied conclusively.
Tower of Love.
The warm sunshine and tho gentle
zephyr may melt the glacier which has
bid defiance to the howling tempest ;
so the voice of kindness will touch the
heart which no severity could subdue.
Christ's love is the Church's fire ;
thither bring thy heart when it is cold
frozen and dead ; meditato on his love,
and pray until you can say, " He loved
me and gave himself for me."
The best system of theology without
love is a corpse. To make it a power
put life into it, glowing love to God and
man.
Children Trained Up For God.
It is pleasing to God that our children
shall be given Him, and so bo trained up,
that though His blessing, they will early
know Him. When we come into a gar
den, we love to pluck the young bud, and
smell it.that we may bo delighted with
its fragrance. And so God loves tho
heart iu its bud, before its fragrance is
all scattered upon the world and sin.
Of the trees made choice of, in a pro
phetical vision, it was the almond tree
which God selected, the tree that blossoms
among the first of trees. Such an almond
tree is an early convert, a young heart
given to its maker.
Heroic Faith.
Said a clergyman in the Fulton street
prayer meeting : " There is such a thing
as great faith. Christ said thero was
when He said: '0, woman, great is thy
faith. Be it unto theo even as thou wilt.'
There is also, such a thing as heroic faith.
This is the faith that overcomes all obsta
cles, and holds on when all things oppose.
It believes and trusts in God as giving
faith by tho inspiration of the Holy Spir
it. Elijah could not tell why he believed
fire would como down from Heaven and
burn up the sacrifice, when tho altar had
been built and tho sacrifice had been laid
upon it and the trench around it had been
filled with water. But he did believe it
when it seemed the most impossible thing
in tiie world, and tho fire came according
to his faith.
Count Over tho Mercies.
Count tho inercies which have been
quietly falling, in your history. Down,
they come every morning and every even
ing, as angel messengers from the Father
iu Heaven. Have you lived theso years
wasting mercies, renewing them every
day, and never yet realized whence they
came? If you have, Heaven pity you.
You have murmured under afflictions,
but who heard you rejoico over blessings ?
Ask the sumbeam, tho rain drop, tho star
or the queen of night. What is life but
mercy? What is health, strength, friend
ship, social life ? Had each tho power
of speech, each would say, " I am a mer
cy." Perhaps you have never regarded
them as such. If not, you have been a
poor student of nature and revelation.
What is tho propriety of stopping to play
with a thorn bush, when you may just as
well pluck sweet flowers, and eat pleasant
fruits ?

say "Tho favors of fortune are like
steep rocks only oagles and creeping
things mount to tho summit."
