My Piaui.
By J. G.
I ttoray.no.more my vanished years:
Deuced( a tender vain,
- An April rain of smiles and tears,
My !mitt is young again.
-The west winds blow, and, singing low, •
hear the glad streams run;
The windows of mylsord I throw_
- Wide open to the sun.
No longer forward nor behind ,
I look in hope and fear;
-
But, grateful, take the good I end, ,
The best of now and here.
I plow no more& desert land,
To harvest weed - and tare;
The manna dropping from Oars hand ' '
Rebuku my painfuleare.
• I break my pilgrim Staff, I . lay - .
Aside the toiling oar - ;
The angel sought so far away
• I welcome at my door. •
•
The airs of spring may never pray
Among the ripening corn [
Nor freshness of the flowers of May
.• Blow through the autumn nom;
'-Yet shall the blue-eyed gentian look •
• Torougli fringed lids to heaven,
And the pale aster in the brook .
Shall see its image given ;
The wood:; shall wear their robes of praise,
'The south wind softly sigh;
And sweet, calm days ingolden hue
Melt down the amber slty.
Not less shall manly deed and word
Rebuke an age of wrong;
• -_ - Thegraven Bowers that wreathe„ the sword
Make not the blade less strong.
But sinking hands shall learn to heal,
; ; To build AS to destroy ; I
. - Norless my heart for others feel; .
s..f hat I the more enjoy. r
Al as (Tod wills, who wisely heeds
•
To.give or to withhold,
Atid knoweth more ofkil my needs
Than all icy prayers have told f
Enough that blessings undeserved
Have marked my erring track— •
That wher&seer my feet hare swerved,
His chasteilirg Mined Me hock—
That more and more a Providence
Of love is understood,
flaking the springs of time and sense
Sweet with eternal good
- That death seems but freovered way
Which opens into light, •
Wherein no blinded child can stray
- Beyond the Vether's sight— . •
• That care and trial seem at-lant.
Through Memory's sunset air,
Like'mountain-ranges orerpast,
In purple distance fair—
, That all the jarring notes of life
Seem blending in a psalm, _
' And'all the angiewof its strife .;
Slew rounding into Calm.
-. I And so the shadows fall apart. 1
Antis° the west. winds play;
, And all the windows of my heart
I open to the day. '

"Wirer will you do with yourself this
'summer; Ifamilton I" inquired Edward Ber-
Han of his friend, 'as they stood, after:dinner,
on the steps of their hotel.
"Do? the dear knows. Strike out a new
path for myself, if 1 can."
"That's right; you have genius for any
thing. But , pray let your originality serve
the cause of benevolence, by - admitting me as
-a akareiln your new idea when it arrives."
"You are welcome to the plan if it—suits,
which 1 am quite sure_ it will not," replied
Hamilton. "To say truth, my fancy is alto.
nether too eccentric to meet the concurrence
of a well trained and submissive member of
society. like yourself."
"Let me know it, at all ments. I need
not guess Newport or Saratoga, or even the
mountains, sioee all these are too commot,
to suit your roving genius. - Perhaps a trip
to Paris?"
"No, that would be jumping from the fry
ing pan into the fire, to u‘a an elegant and
original metaphor. I tell yoti, Berrien, lam
sick _of what is called refined society. I have
seen it all, and there-is nothing more to in-
terest me, I Would cast of these eluting; and
go Where Lean see and enjoy nature herself."
"Bah! I thought..we were to have a new

"Right enough there; but that's not. the
sort of thing I mean. - What think you of as.
sinning a character—poor schoolmaster, for
example—going- to some sweet, little country
village, earning - yoiir bread at the rate of
twelve dollais a month?"
"Ha! ha!' eccentiic, truly! Why it

affectionate mammas 'have to say ?"
"Nothing a:, all, for, mind yoit, my friend,

"Hamilton, you are a cynic. Any sensi

with your prospects. Only think -of half the

" AO you are picturing to yourself along

some finely country damsel, like the milk

frowns, declare the quiet, homely little ham.

have the earnest love of all things beautiful,
which God has given, to poets and little
children—if your spirit is yet unfettered by
the eluting of conventionality, ana 'untainted
by a vitiated taste—you - will find inspiration
in the pure, sweet air, joy in the bright sun

tentment that broods over the little. hamlet
like the peace of heaven. You will long to
east-off, tur a time s the burden of worldly
care, that youi whole being may gain new
tone and vigot from the ministrations of na•

•
Let usicall at that old fitrln-house, where
a young girl is seated with her sewing.—
Yes, there are two of them; but the young
er (a child of ten yearsy is at the feet of the
elder.
" Who is this new teacher, Phebe, that
'you like so much . l" '
"Mr. Hamilton,.his name is. He's a real
nice maa."
"Hamilton," repeated the other; "I have
certainly heard the name before."
In fact, quite a phenomenon had appeared
in N.—, within a few weeks, in the person
of the new, district schoolmaster. It had
been the custom of the school committee,
from motives oreconomy, to employ a‘ fe
male leacher during the summer months;
but the demands of the now applicant, in the
Matter of salary, were so very moderate,
and his qualifications so remarkable, that an
innovation had fon once been. allowed. As
for the last point, indeed, never had an aspi
rant fur the pedagogical honors appeared in
N— so thoroughly furnished fur the try
ing ordeal of examination. He was able to
answer ` -without confusion all the profound
questions proposed to him, in arithmetic,
grammar, and even orthography, and sue-
Teeeded in leaving upon tha astonished mind
of Inspector Graves, the impression that " he
knew all that, and more too !"
The social successes of the poor school
master seemed destined to be .equally brill
iant with Lis intellectual triumphs; though,
lied he been accustomed to the sincere and
whole-hearted hospitality which reigned
throughout this simple rural district., he wo'd
have claimed no superiority in this respect.
Among 4Lercrowd of invitations that poured
in upon him, hat of Phebe ,Lee was one of
the first accepted. There is one, little fact,
which; itt_all fidelity I must state, though, in
this connection, it may be considered -irrele
vant. In the village church, which, among
other uses, sacred and profane, often serves
as a reconnoitering ground for general ob.
servers; the schoolmaster had discovered at
least one interesting film in the square high.
backed pew ofFarmer Lee. Whether this
consideration-influenced his movements, I do
not pretend to say. Certain it is, no Ippg
process of reasoning was required to conviriai
him that a conscientious adherence to his
plan of studying country life, and country
haracter would necessitate an acceptance of
- all Mrs. Lee's invitations. .
It was on this very afternoon, while Ada,
with her juvenile companion, Was seated
with her sewing under the great cherry-tree
before the door, that theitisitor made his ap
pearance. Phebe sprang to meet him at the
gate; then remembering that something like
an introduction was_expected froth tier,' she
blushed, choked ; hunt down her head, and
stood still.
•"Good day,- Pbebe; is your mother at
homer said the cheerful tones of the teach
"Yes, sir; she's in the kitchen," said the
child, Wetly.
"Then you will be so good as to present
me to your friend here, will you not?" " .
"Miss Addie. Ray mood," said Phebe, mus
tering . cobrage to advance. "ft's the teach
er," she'continued, in more confidential tones,
to Ada.
" Mr. Hamilton, I believe," said. Ada, of
fering ber hand - _witb modest. self-posseission.
The awkwardness of the introduction was
quickly forgotten in the easy and animated
conversation .vilich followed.lton,
judging wisely enough, thnt,the tone of fash
ionable flattery which he Might have as
sumed on anotber_occasion, would be out of
place, if not utterly - unintelligible to his
simple acquaintance, spoke with manly digni
ty and intelligence, and was understood and
appreciated. Adi, dismissing all Idea of
making a conquest without her lusptil Ames-

his recollections of amateur or professional

nor were the villace-gossips slow to connect
this fact with the, presence of the two. - young

If wo aro to admit that these last do settle in
eitiesi,we minuet but remark that the lighter
particles find their balance quite naturally
where the pressure of real interests is least.
The only fact in which we 'Are interested, ,
is a very serious one—namely, that Henry
Hamilton had found, at last the Keystone to
the whole romance of his life. • Had some
good fairy led him hither through the dis
gust? of city life, to find in the wilderness
the only flower thaf,..could prove "heart's
ease" to his tired existence,' The flower it
self 111111 - 11 perfect mystery. The only one,
it seemed, that was in perfect harmony with
the free freih life of nature around ; the rest
with their uncouth ways seemed to have
been transplanted from a ruder soil. These,:
and similar.specutations, - often troubled the
profound depths of the schoolmaster's mind,
duting the-hours of daily duty, and made_
further ebiervations necessary each evening
for the purpose of solving the problem.—
And io;it happened,. quite naturally, that be
fore the last sunset ray ha&irested upon the
old farmhouse, the said 'schoolmaster with
his guitar en his arm, like some traveling
minstrel, was to be seen , walking the same
road from the village. Usually, too, the
first object that caught his eye—quite will

tle bead, bending witti4 its drooping curls
over a pair oLindustrious little hands, that
were always sewing, sewing away, under the
great cherry-tree before the - door.

Berrien, toward the end of August, will re
veal the condition of affairs at that juncture.
" Berrien, my dear fellow, my plan for
the summer has entirely succeeded.. I have
proved, what . r always believed, that
ce.r.ce, intelligence, and true refinement, are
to be found upon the earth, though not with

. About the same time, Mr. Colton, in his
dusky counting room, was perusing a deli-
sate little letter; at the clog of which we
must venture to'glance.
"Do, dear papa, let me have my own
way in this. I did not dream any such thing
would happen, when I left home; or I never
should have dared to go away from you.—
Now you know I would not for the world
do anything to displease. you • hut I know .
you cannot help being,, pleas ed with Mr'.
Hamilton. He is a paor schoolmaster, to
be sure; .but then he is so good, so noble,

besides, dear papa, you know you have only
one child, and I know you have money
enough for two; so Mr. H. would not need
to be rieh. lle promises to do all -that a-son
can for you in your old age. He thinks you
are poor, and I would nut undeceive him;
for if be really loves me, as I think be does,

for my father's money. •

note to you. He says it Will tell you some

"But what I most'wanted to ask you is

Do,dear papa, say yes, and earn the thanks
of your

•
The dubious smile that curled the lips of
the old man, as ho finished this first letter,
gave way to one, first of wonder , and then
ofgennine merriment, as he . o,lanOed over the
contents of the one it enclosed.
"Well, well !" he ejaculated, "she. may

of -your theory that all city.dom lieth is

"I will acknowledge frankly," replied
Hamilton, "that..it-4as. a superficial and

While from thy downy throat the song
Floats, like the chime of silver bells,
O'er my rapt soul, what yearnings strect
Thrill through my heart, this sad sigh tells.
Oh, I could weep tonight, sweet bird ,
Weep o'er the thoughts thy song bath stirred!
'Tenderest Bungs must mire; it last ;"-
Happiest days will sink in gloom :

HARTFORD, Conn., July 4, isrp.
mi. EDITOR ended my.last letter with
the conclusion of " Uncle Paul's" bear story,
at the close whereof the bar-room inmates at
the old. Canada tavern imbibed - lar gely at` he
expense' ofi the two strangers, my, friend and
myielE
After . we had "smiled and smiled;" we
again seated ourselves about the room, and
An ominous silence felt uponsall.
Burly San Canada piled more wood upon
the fire, and then sauntered to the door,whiCh
he opeitic - I to gaze forth upon this weather.—
A thick blackness had overspread the sky
while Uncle Paul , was speaking, and a chill
gust of wind burst in at the. half-open , door,
shaking the bottles ,and glasses . behind the
bar till they jingled again, and throwing great
puffs of smoke out of the broad fireplace.
Burly Jobs closed the door again, and -fe
ared to his seat upon thelbar, and
,presently
the rain began to fall, -and, . being driven
against the windows by the fierce wind, beat
thereon the Devil's tattoo with a vengeante.
Far down the valley, the mounds of fire
burning on the "Clearing,", gleanied,with a.
dull and sombre red, , . till they . bet:tune
quenched and dead beneath the peltitig storm.
Then the wind increased, and the old house
shook and. trembled beneath its fury.
"It's a bad 'night for Pete," quoth John
Canada, knocking the ashes from his pipe and
preparing for a fresh smoke. . • .
"A bad night it is," assented - the others."
• "He's ben through sadder,"' soliloquized
Uncle Paul, from behind his runrird' water.
"Who_ is Pete 1"
"fie runs an express," John Canada ex
plained, "'from Isere to North, Aching and
back, twice a week; takes out fresh meat and
soon, and fetches in - groceries and those
stuff. He's a dark, road to go, 'specially
through the' long tanner.'"
The men •about the room assented with
many ejaculations.- Then all fell into silence
again, while theolgrripest without rather in-
creased than diminished in itsfury..
There was no lull in the storm,- which
made too muck distorbance about the little
hostelry to enable any o tt er outlide - sounds
to bidistinguishable, watt the door was sud
denly burst in as though by the .eastbined
force of the wind and rushing rain, and a man
was precipitated Violently into the middle of
the apartment.
_ * He was a tall, bony fellow, clad id:lroner
out in. butternut colored woolen, and"hearing
a brokeii i - unlighted lantern in one band and
a whip , in the other. From every portion of
his angular frame ran streams of - . water.—
From his old felt bat, from his nose, from his
hands, knees, shoulders, elhavra, , fidm, the
skirts of his old coat, and the heitvy lapPels
upon hii old-fitabioned vest, the isran in
pattering Streams upon the , fl oor, forming
about him a mimic lake,, in the centre where

"Give-us loSee gin !" gulped die rivefgod.

-lied in his speech. " Give ue some gin an'

'Whilst Burly John poured out's' glais of
liquor for the soaked expressman- Dwight
thrust his - long arms into a heavy cilkt, put a
glazed'hat over his whity-brown locket-light
ed a lantern, and struggled out into the storm.
" Ah !" gasped the new. coiner, striding to

good quarts of water within their expansive
cowhide—" Ab ! that goes to the right spot !

to fobtos he spoke, and it was 0n1y . .. with
considerable effort that be succeeded in get
ting off his wet baits and his coat AO. 'vest.
Then, as he-stood initia - shirtsleeves, with
his back-to thelredrying hiruself !albeit be

Dwight rushed in, with a teiApest of rain,
through the door-which he closed behind - him

" Where is the codfish you were going to

"In the wagon:! Said' i thiriVeTlOd.

‘! "Tisn't there; eh r
"Nary codfish !"
"That cat was in my wagon;" shouted the
stranger, swinging his long arms about.—
, " She s.fullowed.the for three year, blame
her ugly countenance! Eleven. cubs I've
killed lot her, and still she keeps on runnin'
in that confounded holler, an' I can't get a

The expressman stood in the centre of • the
room, a cloud.of steam rising from his wet
garments, and swallowed his second glass of
gin.
„ I I inquired Where the long hollow' was.
About two miles fiom the tavern they
.
said; It was a long, narrow gorge in , the
mountains, through which rah a small stream,
and. was infested by a certain female panther
.of fisbulons size, that was. known to have
madtiler abode , there for at least _ten • yeari
past,:and managed always to escape. from
thosti h o e tin pursuit of her. She bro't
forth w litter of young every year, which
Were easily killed, but, for herself, she was
so cunning and active, no man had yet suc
ceeded in slaying her, and she was the terror
of all the dogs in the .neighborhood.. They
all agreed that Pete, the expressman, watt
right, and the chances were that some ddrk
- night-he wouldrbecoMe " &it's meat" before
his time. • . • • • :
My Cambridge friend and -I--I- may , - as
well call him Jones- for want of a better
name wbereby to distinguish him—retiredlo
rest full of the panther ! I. presume we
dreamed of. it through the night. Weimoke
early and foetid a clear and pleasant sun
shining over MIS stripe of meadow-land that
formed the narrow valley , and, looking out
thereat, Jones spike :
" I say, veil kill that panther!" _
" We will, or periaLia the attempt !"
Jones fervently grasped my band, and I
returned the pressure. ,
Inquiring more about tbe beast, we learned
that it kept itself hidden during_the day, but
frequented the road 'through the " !Ong hol
low" after nightfall, and that from ten o'clockin the evening to midnight was the best time
to get a chance` at it.
We procured two gin s. Mine was a
beavy;lontbarreled ride; carrying a large
ball, while the Weapon 'proeihid by Jones
was a very ancient-musket,' Whose old flint
lock bad been suPplanted , by a inora modern
and efficient percussion arrangement: Full
of ardorOce_passed the day in anticipation
of our midnight hunt. ' • ?
The handsof r tny venerable' time ivair
piece-inherited from' a decemed grandMb er
—pointed to thirty minutes past nine as WO
stepped from the clear .moonlight jnto the
pine.shadowed portal of tha " long hollow."
The thick woods upon either hand stood
darkly on the steephillekles ' and the over
hanging-branches met above tie narrow road
way, leaving only ind istinet glimmering of
sky through their , interlacing ends to mark
where the winding path %crept up into , the
heart -of, the mountain. '• A small stream
swollen by the, previous nightie rain, foamed
and roared down the narrow gorge, now
rushing beneath a rude bridge .of • unhewn
logs, and anon tumbling'snd plashing down
the steep at our side.
There was no sound save that of the water
and an Occasional 'gutteral cry from some
swift-gliding owl, as he slid through the air on
downy and noiseless wings: - passing like. a
night-spirit, seen and gone with .a weird,swift
silence of passage. •
It wits well for us that there was no' foli
age upon the trees, as yet, for, otherwise, we
should have been in the midst of a ;dark:weir
so dense as toluive precluded any possibility
of hunting.
.As it was, there was a -faint
light from just'overheild, that struggled down
to theloot of the, glen where we stood.
We sauntered slowly up the read till- we
came to a place, where the valley widened,-
and we could head, by the silver running. of
the - brook, thaiiewas spread • into:st more:
shalloW, and less fiercely rushing ritrearn,ond
ran over pebbles.. Here there was a sort- of
pause in the ascent; a short,, narrow Plateau,
where the sides of the , gorge curved inly,
leaving a- broader space for the stream and
the winding road: ?Thick bashes, principally
birch and alder, grew at either side of the
path, and et, about the centre of the level; ;a
tall, bare, end fearfully gnarled oak towered
high sibove,-throwingrone knotty. and crooked
limb entirely across the road . ... q .-
this place we psuied: It Was the 'only'
spot-we had foundwhereWe could keep with
in sight of each other and still be some little
distance apart. - _
Jones 'stationed himself at the talior end
of the level, whilel took my pike above
him, just at the point *here a sudden (nave
end ascent bid the road beyond from eight.
Our eyes had become accustomed to:
darkness,' and our- ears to the gurgle and
splash of , the 'waters. We could see each
other's outline, and could hear each Other's
steps when we occasionally chsoged t esce.
Here we stood or sauntered while night
grew older.. • • •
