AUTIJBIII WIND.
• HOWL on, thou fierce and sweeping blast,
I hear thy wail ; black clouds o'ereast
The face of Luna pale ; her light
Can scarcely pierce their depths to-night.
Ah tell me,, why that fearful howling, •
All night around my cottage prowling;
The crisp, brown lear thus heaping up,
Like withered hopmin 80 - crow'. cup !
Wail down the dreary garden.walks,
Where talked the Summer winds with Hewers;
. Fierce sport the brown and brittle stalks,
Where pale ghosts troop through scentlesi bowers.
The ghosts of light-winged, happy dreams,
Of Lore's low, tender, thrilling tones,
Of ioullit eyee, of icardnip gleams,
- And all the witchery beauty owns.
Shriek o'er the hedge where roses blushed,
And honey bees their golden wines
Sipped front the dainty cloree-blooms,
That Limped the shade 'neath clasping vines.
Sob 'neath the dripping, mossy eaves,
Where swallows twittered in their glee,
And welcomed morning's rosy smiles
When soft her breath the dewy leases
Stirred, as she bade night's shadows flee.
No blossoms droop beneath thy sweep;
The south-wind heard the angry tread,
And Flora's beauties lulled to sleep,
And hid theft in their grassy bed.
Then drift the leaves, and shake the trees, . ,
They best can bear thy ice-berg breath— ,
So hearts steeped in the, bitter lees
Of anguish dread no sting of death.
Sweep on—the - " rich Man," buried deep
'Mid velvet cushions, heeds thee not
Away, where halfelad orphans weep
Round firelesshearth; in mis'ry's cot.

Where stalk the - fiends from Famine's shore.
r. Sweep madly through the shattered pane,
' And chill their limbs with blinding rain,
And drift the owes from their cheeks—
Alas.! for so mach beauty slain! .
Hearts chilled by frost of eordid_sra n,
That maker the "rich man's" coffers groan
With surphts wealth!
Wailing 'neatit the leafless vines,
Sobbing through the sturdy pines,
Moaning through the forest shades,
Rushing o'er the grassy glades,
Passing with such ruthless sweep
O'er the graves Where dear ones sleep—
On, to mingle all thy store_
With the ocean's sullen roar.
Thou hest come in. fury forth
From the bleak and frozen North, '
Telling, by thy mournful arra,
Winter's etalking& thy train.
HEEL AND TOE.,
/a a little village in New 'England, in a
pretty cottage situated on the very skirts of
the village, therelived an old lady with her
grand-child. They were the only occupants
of the cottage, tjtough sometimes the son of
the old lady and uncle of the little girl, came
frou.‘the city where be resided to pay them
a short visit, times 'which were looked for
ward to - with, great delight by all_ three con
cerned. The old lady was called Dame
Grfost by the village=-Granny by her little
charge. The little
.one, a quiet, 'reserved
child, was aimed for her mother, Dame
'Grant's darighter, who dying, had left, her
orphan child in the care of the one who bad
been her first and last friend. Poor Mary
Grant, married at seventeen, to a fine; hand.
some youth; the pride of the village, she died
at twenty-two, a drunkard), widow, after
watching her husband's downward course Ulr
til his death left her broken-hearted. Little
Mary - alma her mother's death, three years
old, and from that time until the day on
which the story opens, had - known no other
care than that of her grandmother, and some
times her uncle Harry. 1 wish to place two
pictures before my readers before I come to
my story: First the bedroom of the little
cottage, Granny Grant seated in a high
backed, old fashioned chair, with Mary lean
ing against her • while the old dame, encir
cling the little child in her arms, is teaching
her the Mysteries of knitting a stocking,with
these words: "Now, Molly dear, when you
can knit a pair all by yourself, I will pay you
fur theffi just what I -receive for mine—two
Shillings, and you can go on knitting' until
you can earn enough to buy some more
books, and Uncle Harry will send them to
you from the city."
"Oh Granny ! 'do you think I can ever
earn enough to . litiy that book teachertold us
_about to-day, all about the foreign countries
I ant learning about in the geography 'I"
"All depends upon our own industry.—
You are doing nicely at school ; but there
are many books you, would like to read thai
I cannot afford to buy you, and you must try
to earn them yourself. But see, your eyes
are not on .this stocking. Remember, all
your money must come from, paying atten
tion 'to heel and toe."
Anothee.pictore : In the drawing morn of
a large mansion in the heart of the village,
the 'great house' of the place, is another lit
tlegtrl just-Mary's age. She is a beautiful
gild with bright blue eyes, golden curls, and
a pretty sylph-like figure. On one of the
crimson covered sofas in the room is reclin
ing a pale, languid•looking lady, watching the
little girl and her dancing muter. The child
is taking her dancitiglestain ; but seems more
inclined to chaster according to her own nu
tions, than to follow in the• steps her master
is taking. -
"Effie," says her mother, the lady on the
sofa, " do pay more attention to your steps.
If you dance to please Monsieur Pierre, by
the time I go to the city again, I will buy you
that lovely blue dress you wanted so much."
"Oh, mammal - won't I look pretty in it?
Blue is so becoming to a fair complexion !
Yon promise, mamma? • '
H,Yes, but remember and pay particular
attention to Monsieur Pierre., You are
dancing on your own method now, and you
will only earn your - dress by' following his
svetem of heel .and toe."
— Excited as much as it.was in her nature to
be by the prospect. of earning books for her
self, Mary, bent over her knitting, building
fairy castles in the air, and hoping for the
time when, by dint of wily and reslintzt
should know as much as her teacher,
Little, a pale, quiet girl, who undertook to
train the little girls d' the *War id their
studies. Mary was her favorite among bee
pupils. The eagerness of, the little girl to
learn everything, her attentkins to the studies
appointed her, and her quick intelligence
werei each a charm in the eyes of her gentle
teacher; and many &lesson was imparted by
conversation when, delighted b an invitation
to tea, Mary - sat as her a feet, listen
ing to her instructiows. -

yard beside her daughter. Mary is the' sole
occupant of the cottage; and at the age of
eighteen; is now by Esther's desire •on her
i wedding day, installed as mistress of the sil
-1 Inge school: It was from the day when her
interest in knitting was so strongly excited
that Mary dated' her growth in knowledge.
1, Shilling after shilling was placed in her little
Lox safe in Granny's dr a wer; and honk after
book was added to her stock ; while Esther,
`strongly interested by the child's thirst fnr
knowledge, encouraged and aided her, end
even gave her private lessons in French and
!drawing, which were well repaid by Mary's
! rapid progress in both eccomplislimanta
-1 From knitting for Granny, she bad -learned
to knit fancy articles, for which hennuele got
a gq93 price at a Foley store, in the- city ;
and many a wealthy lady'S baby put its tiny
foot into one of Mary's fairy-like socks, or
its fingers in the pretty -mittens knit by her
busy fingers. She was particularly fend or
this kind of needle work, because, with a
1 piece of knitting in her band, she was still
able to continue .her lessor, books before
her. After the school was entrusted to her
' care, far from conaidefing'her education fin
ished,
in her desire to do,fully her duty to
the children under her, she applied herself
closely still; in her leisure hours, td her books,
and be seen at the little-window of the
Cottage after her Hay's duties were over, her 1
head bent over Nor hooks, and her fingers
swiftly plying the knitting needles. The lit
tle .cottage was a miracle of neatness, for
Granny's desire had been to-make the, little
malden thoroughly useful in'her station ;,and
no house was cleaner, no wardrobe in better
order than Mary Snyder's. One day, there
was a gay party starting for a ride from the
"grand house." First, mounted on a white
horse, her blue }whit and white plumed hat
setting ofiher blonde beauty to the beet ad
vantage, was Effie Fisher, the child of the
house and ,the belle of the village. Her. ed
ucation bad been finished as it had been be
gun—a perfect dancer, a brilliiint performer
on the piano-forte; a fine rider, and an accom
plished flirt. She had, to obtain perfection
in these four arts, neglected all more solid
oursuits, and was at eiehteen as giddy, empty
//. eaded, and silly a beanty as could be
found. By her side rode Roland Rivers, a
tall, handsome man, of about thirty. rich,
ac
complished and intelligent, and as El e's
mamma told her, " a decided catch." "Do
your best to make a conquest there," said the
affectionate parent, "for such a.ehance will not
fall in your way every day." And do, Effie, iii
try to talk sensible, for he is particularly
fond o 4 intelligent' young ladies." The rest
t'W party consisted of Effie'e brother
George, with Miss Harding, a brunette, who
shared lam honors of belleship with Effie.—
Some other young people of the village , with
.whrim ire have no particular interest, made
up the party.
There was a beautiful bfook running along
about" a hundred yards from Mary's cottage; I
and on one side a large tree grew. As it
Was back of the cottage, in a retired place,
Mary- often took her book and work, and
seated on a large stone at the foot of the tree,
passed many a pleasant afternoon.
The riding party started in high spirits ;
and it was near sunset when they turned
their horses' head's homewards.- Then, as
they lived in different parts of the village, one
atteik another fell of, until Effie and Roland
were\left alone.
's Vhat a pretty cottage!" cried the ybung
man, as they drew near a tiny vine-covered
dwelling." Look, Miss Fisher, is it not like a
fairy. dwelling place, all covered as it is. with
climbing roses turd honeysuckles I Who
lives therer
"Only the village school ma'am," said
Effie
" Pretty ? She must be to suit the - dwel
ling, and tasty too, I know, by the appear.
ance of that little garden. Can we not frame
an excuse to stop here a moment? You have
had a long ride, Mi-s Fisher. lam sure a
glass of water would refresh you. I will call
out' the charming occupant of this pretty
place."
"Charmin g !" said Effie, with .8 wren tie
laugh—"charming? a little, demure-looking
piece, :dressed in the fashion of ten.years ago
with hands and feet like a washerwoman's."
Roland insisted upon seeing this individu
al, declaring that he was enchanted by Effie's
description, and dismounting, he knocked at
the door. No. answer, He knocked again,
and then pushed it open. The room or par
lor of the cottage into which he stepped, was
empty. lie walked to the back window,
looked out, and then stepped back to the door
and looked again. Seated under a tree, with
a brook betweeti her and the house, was a
young girl. Her White dress a'as cut low,
showing a beautiful neck, and a round white
aim, finished with a pretty hand, with deli.
cate, tapering fingers. Her soft brown hair
was parted simply from her broad, white
forehead, and made into a rich knot behind.,
Her complexion was fair, but pale ;• and her
features delimte. Hearing Roland's step,she
raised a pair of largibrown eyes, and with
quiet grace, crossed- the little bridge, and
stood ready_to do the honors of the cottage.
After a gracefel apology for his intrusion
Roland obtained the glass of water, and re
turned to Effie, who was, with some difficul
ty persuadedsto dismount and rest a few ma
' ments in the cottage.
Mary's quiet, but perfectly lady-like man
, nee; showed, to great advantage beside the
haughty, supercilious manner Effie thought
fitto assume to the village ebhool mistress.
Roland's quick eye detected a volume of Ra
clue in the book Mary brought in from her
seat beneath the tree. He soon entered into
conversation with his hostess, and poor Effie
found herself far behind in the animated dis
cussion of books and arts which followed.—
' At Length, to her great relief, they were
mounted and on their road hotnewltrds.,
"Mourns," said Effie, about a week after
the 'day just mentioned, "Roland Rivet!! has
(alien m love with Mary Snyder," "
"Nonsense!" was die answer.
"But it Is not nonsense. He would stop
there the day we rode oitt; and the artful
piece just made love to him as decidedly as
you ever saw anything in your life. . They
talked about bookkahout,drawing, and the
pictures be bad seen In Italy; !mid at last she
made him promise to bring his4ortftdio and
show the sketches be made in Europe."
"Made him Firoplise 1 'HO 1'
" Writ, she didn't exactly make him, but
he offered, just out of politeness, and she took
him right up, so he bad to go; and, worts*
than that, she his bad him there every eve.

The idea of iveinz cut out by such a demure

"Ellie, I have it we'll turn her out of tie
school; Your father is nt - the head of tie
school committee, and he in the richest tn‘n
in. the place t so the others won't like tt
fend lim. hnve her Out."
Next mourning, Mary deceived notice that,
nn her quarter was nenrlt .finished, her Ser•
vices woillsi be no louder required at the.
school. The same morning come an ievita
tii,m from her uncle to pis , him and his wife

they often sent for Mary to tome to them,
when she could escape from her school du

She crown en to the city, and pertntin

could gain a living. With many a heart
Pang. she shut up the little cottage. packed
her trunk. and sat down in the parlor, now
all darkened, except one witdow, to 'wait for
the stage.
She was sitting weeping, when a knock at
the donr aroused her. On opening it, she
fimni? Roland. Explanations followed, and
Roland asked her snmetling, to which game

JONES IN LOVE.
THE DENTIST'S WIPE:
SELF-CONCEIT in its most extravagant
form, is one of the numerous failings of our
old friend Jones. By some mishap it was
instilled into his mind from the earliest in•
fancy, and has shown itself oftentimes within
our Own knowledge of him, too-tlaripgry.—
It has been :he bane of his social existence,
and has made him countless enemies who
would possibly all have been firm friends.
It h as killed him in the estimation ofa large
circle of female acquaintances, who think of
him only as conceited Jones ; and- has been
the , cause of many secere and unkind re
marks by mothein of marriageable daugh
ters, who have listened to Jones as he pic
tured in - glowing imagery, the likeness oftbe.
girl he would Marry • his beau ideal being
so far above the qualifications of their rdr
'piing, as to leave them not a shadow of a'
chinee.
This very self-conceit is the prime, and we
doubt not thi3 real cause of his present bach.
elor existence ; and will, unless a great' re
limn takes place, leave him in such a posi
tion that even old maids will pass him by
without regret. We have talked to him by
'the hour, until our very_ patience was exhaust.

idea of his extreme worthlessness, but with
obt effect, fur after our lecture is done, be re
plies with a yawn, pulls up his shirt collar
and adjusts it to a nicety by a miniature
looking glass in his hat, lights a fresh cigar,
and goes puffing away down the street as
conceited as-ever. A change has eemntly
taken place, and Jones is hi love, or at • least
was deeply so up to yesterday, and° whether
a slight interruption which occurred will
serve to weaken his attachment, we leave our
readers to judge.
We `said he was in love, and of course ouk
readers suppose, as all sensible readers wo'd
be 'apt to imagine, that the - object of his af
fection is some blushing girl, just budding in
to womanhood, with nut-brown curls, and
eyes of black, - and figure perfect, or some
charming widourotho, used to the arts and
wiles of the tender passion, has so thrown
around him those silken meshes that hn strug.
glen to get free from; bat such speculations are
far from the mark. Jones is in love but we
blush for him 'when we state' he is in love
with a married lady—a dentist's wife.
It appears that every morning when Jones;
attired in his best,' walks with dignified slow
ness'from his property in charge up town, be
is obliged to pus by the window of the real.
1- dence of a certain dentist, the husband of the
lady referred to above, and it has been while
thus passing for the last month, both evening
and morning, that Jones hard imtigined, with
his usual conceit; that the lady has fallen in
love with him. It must be 'so, 'reasoned
Jones to himself , or else•wtit should I find
her invariably seated at the window - when. I

blind be could not lie considered a fair judge)
that she, on more than one occasion, made eyes'
at him, was in love with him, and only wait
ed for him to make the first alliances.—
Jones's seleconceit was tickled 'to death, to
think that a married lady, and one to whom
as yet be had never spoken, should fall des
perately in love with his exterior. It was
too much for him ; be must proceed ; the
paesive state would not do any longer, even
in matters of love. Jones's self-conceit al
ways gets the better of him, and bringing
his courage up to the sticking point he deter
mined to call, when the husband was out,and
took a friend (our informant) along to wit
ness the impression be had made upon .the
dentist's wife. • -
A few mornings since, when all of' the pre
liminaries bad been arranged, Jones having
watched at the corner until he - saw the hue.
band depart, rung the bell, and; with his
mend, was shown into fire parlor. •At the
Ivindow sat the dentist's wife, who asked
them to be seated.- Jones imagined be co'd
see the tell-tale blush come and go agsin,and
was consequently so flurried himself that his
friend was obliged to open the conversation.
"Is your husband in, madam ?"• inquired
.Tonea's friend of the lady. '
"No sir," she answered politely, "he has
just stepped out, hut will be in again shortly."
Jones touched his friend, as much as to
say, "all right ;" he having previously led
him to believe that at that time of the day
the dentist was generally absent for several
hOtirs.
A running convetsation then took place,
daring . Which Jones managed to take a lead
nig part, and had so worked his wires as to
introduce the subject of love, and was quot
ing a verse from a popular author, when the
dOor opened, and the dentist, a hale, hearty
man, stood before them,
Had a twenty-four pounder been touched

young men, it .wind nolo L..
them more. Jones was speechless, and guilt
stood nut upon his face in huge drops of per
sPiration. .llis friend, fortunately—yet un
fokunately—came to the rescue.
Good morning, sir," said, Jones's friend'
td the dentist, who, unsuspecting,' returned
the l salute politely, and inquired the nature
of their business.
I,The inventive genius of Jones's friend,
which he had often boasted to us about, now
showed itself.
II" I'm sorry to trouble you, sir," said he to
the dentist, " but my friend Jones has been
slat:ring greatly from a tooth. I advised
him to call, and if necessary, have it out."
I ; .Tones, who had regained his possession
somewhat, looked daggers at his friend ; but
a Wink from the latter greeted him, and he
said nothing.
Ab, yea i I see your friend.has been suf
fering with the .toothache. Horrible offlie
tion.sir, horrible'!" And the dentist invited
Jones to .s seat in an arm chair.
Jones had nota a decayed tooth in his
whole bead, and assented readily, thinking to
himself that when the - dentist raw the fine
state of his, mouth' he N I ould immediately
pronounce it a neuralaric affection, and dis
tniss him. Short-sighted Jones ! -
The dentist after overhauling Jones, was
about addressing himself to Jones's friend
in reference to his fine teeth, when he d?ecov.
ereil that he had left. Upon announcing Ihe
fact to Jones, the latter looked pale,. and
oak like an aspen.
'" Not ill, I hope ?" said the dentist.
' Oh, no," said Jones, "only a ii - g - ht chill;"
but he felt as if he bad been deserted when
he most needed his friend's services.
The dentist despairing of finding a bad
tooth, pitched upon one that had been plug.

victim wait aware the forceps had been in

basin at his aide.
Jones, while spitting out the accumulating

A Striking Illuntratton.
Atm- years ago, an " assault and battery"
case 'came up before a magistrate in Western
Ohio, in which a lawyer named- Ells was the
defendanee counselor, and Elder Gilruth,
Methodist preacher,
was the plaintiff's -most
important witness,
having by chance been
passing when the affair occurred. , glis fos.
terse', a spirit of revenge towards the preach
because he once called public attention to
him at a camp meeting, where he had been
guilty of disorderly conduct, and, was deter
mined upoit this occasion .to gratify that spir
it•by showing up the wortby divine in fanci
ful colors. The Court was crowded, and the re
-vengeful pettifogger was gloating with inward
rapture over the fine 'opportunity which was
about to . present, itself, for re-paying the
preacher in his own currency. Elder Gil

" As nearly as I can - remember," replied
the witness, "the =blow was sufficient to
knock the plaintiff down."
" Tharis not an explicit answer," said the
counsel, somewhat non-plussed by the preach;
Pr's coolness, " I wish you to explain to the
Court. how hard the blow was inflicted by the
defendant upon the person of the plaintiff,
as set forth in the indictment."
- "Shall I answer the gentleman's question?"
said Gilruth turning to the magistrate.
"As you please," replied the-Justice. ,
"You wish me to give a satisfactory dem

" I do," said Elis. •
" Well, then," chntinued,Gilrutb, advanc

his 'spectacles, and prostrating -the unlucky

.• A MIDNIGHT ADVENTIIILE.
Faxes as often possess presence of 'mind,
and the power of self control under eircum,
stances of imminent peril, which seems al
most foreign to their nature, and beyond the
endurance of a delicate physical organization.
A striking instance of self command, - by a
lady whose fears must have - been powerfully
excited, and whose life of affluence bad prob
ably never before given her nerves any !se
verer test than is incident to the vexation? of
domestic =min given in Chambers's joinJaia
of last month; , We - copy the adVenture,
'premising, by way of explanation, that the
lady was the daughter of a rector residing in
a quiet English country village, and was up
on the eve of marriage:
" The wedding day was to he on the Mot.—
row; of that on which our adventure hap:-
pened. Grand !reparations were made Gtr
the wedding ; and the rector's fine old plate,
and the costly gifts, of the bride were dis
cussed with pride and pleasure at. the Hare
and Hounds. in the presence of some strati.
gers, who had come to a prize fight, which'
had taken place in the neighborhood.
That night Adelaide, who occupied a sepa
rate room froth her-sister, sat up I kite—long
after all the household had retired to rest.--‘
She had a long interview with her fathgr, and
had been rending a chapter to which he had
directed her attention, and since had- packed I
up her jewelsjze. Ste was consequently
still dressed when the church clock tolled
-midnight. As it- &aged, she -heard a low
noise like that of a file; she listened, but
could distinguish nothing clearly. It might
have been made by some of the servants still
about, or perhaps it was only the creaking
of the old trees. Sho heard nothing but the
sighing of the winter winds' for_ many min
utes afterwards. Housebreakers Were mere
myths in primitive Thydon, and. the' bride
elect, without a thought of fear, resumed. her
occupation. She was gazing nit a glittering
set of diamonds, destined to be worn at the
wedding, when ;her bedroom &Or softly
opened. She turned, looked up, and beheld
a man with a black mask, holding a pistol in:,
his hand,-standing before her.
She did not scream, for her fixstl thouglit
was for her father, who' slept in !,he neat
room, and to whom any sudden alarm might
be death, for he was old, feeble, and suffer
ing tram heart complaint. She confronted
the robber boldly, and addressed him in a
whisper : " You are come," !the- said, ." to
rob 11.4. Spare your soul the awful guilt of
murder. My father sleeps to my
room; and to be startled from his *deep wo'd
kill him. Make no noise, I beg of you."
The fellow was astonished and cowed,
" We wont - makeno noise," he repliedsud
denly, "if you give us ev'rything.quietly."
Adelaide drew back and let him take. her
jewels—not without a pang, for _they went

time that two more masked rutTuina'siood`at
the halfopened ‘ door. As he took the jewel
case and watch from th 4 table, and demand
ed her purse, she asked him if he intended
to go into her father's room. She. received
a surly affirinative. "He wasn't a going to
run a risk-and leave half the tin behind !"
She proposed instantly that she would go
herself, raying: I, will bring you whatever
you wish,..and you may , guard me thither,
and kill me if I play false to you." The
fellow consulted his comrades, and after a
short parley, they agreed to the propOsal
and with a j)istol pointed at blr . eed, the
e auntless girl crossed the pas a ge and en
tered, the rector's room. Very, - gently She
stole across the chamber, and removing his
purse, watch, keys, and desk, gave them up
to the robbers who stood at-the door. The
old man slept peacefully and, calmly, --thus

door, and demanded if the robbers were yet
