was sitting very weary,. •
. Hero within_My little room,
1 . Shadows dimly crept alma me
'With thin arms.Oey seemed to flout me
Peering thlimgh thegatherin`g gloom
While I sat so sad and dreary
_ In this quietlittle room.
Vrith.the dappled pastwandered;
All its leaves were faded now; ,;•
-And of yguth's fresh garland 'flowefi;
Gathereererst in loveiii rare bowers
I'd.not one to wreath my brow
Will the future (thus I pondered) • •
Be as darlvand•drear as now I
Steep obliiious crept o'er me.
And a fairy, in my dream,
From my little chamber bore me, -
Where a plain stretched out before me
Near a pebbled mountain stream;
Where the sunlight glinted o'er me
With a soft and kindly beam.
Singing birds and fragrant flowers
Graced this seeming Paradise? ,
I would Up ha - ve roamed for hours
liong;those rare empyrean bowers,
And my wonder.lovinif, eyn
,
• Feasted on the gems that sparkled
Whore this ricer took its rise.
Then the fairy gently brought me
• To the shining river's side—
All its magic power - she taught me,
And with earnestness besought me.
Ga.te into its dimpled tide;
'Twas the "Stream of Life" she taught me,
Down which weary Mortals glide.
First its wave was clear and shining,
With bright jewels dotted o'er;
Wreaths of love and beauty twining,
While rare shells with silver lining.
Ley about the pebbled shore ;
All their rays and hues, combining
To enchant me more and afore
Pratling dawn this sparkling river • • •
Played a mersy hearted child; .
She each little gem kept graying
Closely-with her'ngers clasping, • .
While she onward placed and arbiled—
Floating onward—reaching ever . •
- With some farther gem beguiled.
Bat each so" glittering rested
But an empty bubble proi , ed;
Smiles upon her yonng cheek - rested ,
As another gem she • tested,
While along the waves she moved;
But an envious billow wrested
:Fm her hand the gem she loved.
IVith a startled anxious feeling
' Gazed I on Ibis nate elf,
While the sun's soft rays' were stealing
Down.amdne the waves revealing,
That the wee one was 'myself ;
There amid Life's billows striving,
Like some miser seeking pelf.
•Darkkr, rougher grew the river-- : •
• Pincer, colder Vew the wind, •
Down its Ivaters rushing ever,
Tossed from wave to wave, and never
Leaving park or track behind, - • •
With pale lips that seemed to qUiver—
Where the Heaven shall I.fin.d,
. .
.Then the fairy whispered to the
Whispered sad and low!
- "MI the past has gone before thee
And there's nothing can restore. thee
Love and trust of lone ago
Shall the I"ntu•re glide before thee
• z But I quickly answered No- •
- Tell me nothing of the morrow,
• „. Of its hopes, its clouds and fears;
Let each day abide its sorrow
• ,From the future ill not borrow
Joy&for smiles, .or griefs for tears;
Tell me nothing of the morrow,
Forit brings the' weight of years.
Then the fairy srniled, approving—
" Mortal, chosen well host thou ;
Down this rapid ricer
Tossed by waves and nothing .yielding
In its course the veering prow:
tvery day brings less the sunshine
Than the present yields you now.
"Then where'er the sin ik shining,
Or the dark and moonless-' night,
While o'er joys bright wavelets
Or on griefs dark billows riding
Strive to steer thy bark aright,"
• With these words the fairy vanighed,
And the river, from my sight. •

SWEDISH LAWS WITH RESIITT TO ISTOXIOA
roa.—The laws against intoxication are en- '
forced - with great ricrorip S wed eta • Whoever
is seen drunk, is fined, for the first offence, it 3 ;
for the second ; for the third and fourth, a
still further sum ; and is Also deprived .of the
right of voting at elections, and of. being ap
pointed a representative. He is, besides, pub
licly exposed in the parish church on the . fel
loting Stuiday. The New York Sun says:
If the same individual is found committing
the same offence a fifth time, he is shut up in
the house of correction, and condemned to six
month's hard labor; if he is again guilty, to a
twelve months punisment of a similar discrip
tion. If the offenoe has been committed in
public' such as at a fair, an auction, eilc. the
fine is doubled ; and if the offender has. made
116 appearance in church, the , puuishnient is
still more severe. Whoever is convicted of
having induced another to intoxicate himself
lisffned t 3, wlii.)ll sum is doubled if the person
is a minor. An 'ecclesiastic' who falls into
this offence loseshis benefice; if he is a lay
man who occupies any considerable post, his
functions are suspended, and perhaps he is dis
missed. Drunkennms is never admitted as
an.excuse for any crime; and whoever 'dies
when drunk is buried irmotninionsly,_ and de
prived of the praye,raotth e ehttrelC;lt is for
biddep togive,and more explieitly to sell;atiV
spirituous li4uors to student-a, work-men, ser
vants, apprentices, or private soldiers. .Who
ever js obserTed drunk in the streets, or mak:
ing a noise in a tavern, is' sure to be taken
topriaon and detained until sober . ; without,
however, being on that account exempted
from the fines. Otte-half of these fines go to.
the informers,(who are generally pollee officers)
the other half to the poor. If the delinquent
has liCk money, he is kept - until some one pays
for him, or until he has worked out his en
largement. • Twice a year these ordinances
are mad aloud from the pulpit by the clergy;
and every 'tamp keeper is bound under a
-penalty of a imary - fme, to ha.r a tiopy of
them bung up in the principal rooms of his

My Confession.
I had
. al Way' s been n passionate boy. They
'said' I was almost a fiend at times. At oth
era I was Mild and . loving. My father could
twit manage me', at home; so I was Sent to
schaol: I was more flogged, both at home and
at ',school, than any one that I ever knew or
heard of. It was incessant flogging. .It .W'as.
the best way they knew of to educate anti cor
reet me remetnber . to this day 'how .my
father and my nmster used to say •R.hey would
flog the devil out of the." This phrase. was
buiat at laSt into my
.very being. if,bere it
alvtays conscientiously about me. I 4 hetird it
so . pflen• that a dim kind of notion cane into
my mind that I really Was
.pcisseskd by a
devil, and, that they : were right to try, and
scciurgeit out of me. This was a very, Vague
feeling at first. i Aftil events made I it :more
definite.. . ! ,
We were friends--fist; firm friends.
.The
other 'boys and the ushers, and the-' masters,
too. warned Herbert against me. • They told
him continually' that r should do him no good
and might harm in many ways. But be was
faithful, and suffered no .one lo come between • ;
us. I never had been angry with Herbert, A
word,or look,' joining on IllOmmor of the mo
ment,would rouse melt nto a perfect fiend against
anyone else.
.But Herbert's voice and man
ner soothed me unlei'every kind of excitement.
In any . paroxy4m of rage—the' very worst—l
was gentle to him ; and -I had never yet the
fitof fury which had not yielded . to his rethon
.
strance.' I had grown altult to look on him
as my 'good angel against that devil whom
the-Tod „could not Scourge out of me. , •
We Were walking on ._ the cliffs one day,
Herbert and I, for we lived by . the -sea side.
.And indeed I think,that wild sea makes me
f.r.eer than I should else have Leeth. Thel
cliffs where we were that day were • high and
rugged . ; in some places going down sheer and
smooth into the sea, l -in •others jagged, and
rough; but - always dangerous. Even the
campbire gatherers dreaded • them. They
were of a crumbling sand stoney that I broke
away under the hands and
_feet, for vv'e had.
climbed the practicable parts,•and-kneW that
greatiniasses' would crumble andbreaki under.
our gTitSp, -like there gravel heaps. Herbert
and I. stood for a' short time close to the edge
of the highest cliff; . 11.1tglin's Crag it was
called t looking down at the sea which was
at its highs tide, and. foaming wildly ,about
the rocks. The wind was very strong.thOugh
the skv. was almOst cloudless ; it 'roared round
the cliffs, apd lashed the wawa into . a sur
ging foam, that beat' furiou.ly .wrainst the
base, and brought down showers4earth and
sand with each glow as it struck. -The sight.
of all this life. arid fury of nature fevered my
I blood and excited my imagination to the high
est. A strange desire Seized me: I wanted
to clamber down the face of the cliffs—go the

said, throwing rry cap on the ground.

only in jest. - - • '
When, however, be saw that I was serious,
and that I did positivelylntend zo.attemPt this

It was dark. - -: '.
The lady as 'dying now, paralized from

The lady 'recovered .under my care. 'And

that her pulse s , beat at my hidding I knew
that I had given her back her life, which else,
had; been forfeit, and that I was her prs.trrver.
I almost worshipped

the; pent-up sentiments of my long years of
unloving philanthropy poured like ti bound
les.si flood. It was my life that I gage her—
mytdefiverer from the

no more than . to be near her, to see her. to
hear her voice, to. breathe the same air with
her, to guard
.and protect her. ',I never asked
inyielf whether I loved as other men,. or . .noi
I talVer.dreanied of her loving me ngain... - I
'did':. not even: know her name nor her condi

habit of visiting her for her health. I sat by her
for a long time this day, wondering, as I often
wondered, who it'. was that star resembled,
and Where Iliad met her before, and how,
for I was certain that I hart seen her some
time in the . past. S,be was lying back iii an
easy chair—how well . 1 remember- it - all
I enveloped in' a cloud of white drapery. A
sofa-table - waS drawn along the: side of her

out - any intention of looking, I saw that it
was filled with letters in two different hand
; writia4s 7 and`. two miniature cases were lvin • •
! among them.', Ai:repel) letter, in which lay
a tresy of sun-bright hair, was on her knee.
It. was written in a hand thatrmade - Me - start
and quiver. ' I, kretv the writing, though
:'at the moment I could not, recognize the
writer.
Strongly agitated, I took the letter in'tny .
band. The hair fell hero:.s my fingers. The
darkness gathered close and heavy, and there
burst from me the self-act:wing ery of "Mur
der:" -
. "No, not murdered," said. the lady sorrow
fully. "He was killed by accident. This
lettet is from.him—my dear twin--Herbert—
written on the •very day of his death. But
what'ean -outweigh the - bles.seduess: of death
while we are ilinoeent of sin . ? -
As she spoke, for some strange - fancy slie
drew the gauty drapery round her head. It
fell about soft - and white as
. foam. I
knew not where I had seen her before, lying
as now with her sweet face turned upward to
the f• ky ; looking,as now,. so full of purity
and love ; calling me then to innocence as
now to reconeilhition., Her-angel in lier like
hnd once spoken to me through the
waves; as Herbert's spirit non; spoke to me in
her. .
"This is his portrait;' she continue 1,
_open - -
ing one of the. eases.: •
• The darkfiess - &,'mtliered — closer and. closer.
But 11 fought it off bravely, and kneeling
humbly, for the first time I . was able to make
my -confession.- I told her all. My love for
Herbert; but my fierce fury of temper; - -my
sin, but also bow unintentional; -my'atone
'pent ; and then in the, depth of, my agony, I
turned to implore her forgiveness..
-" I do," she said; weeping. It Was a
grievous crime—grievous, deadly—lint you
have expiated it. Tow have repented iu deed
by self subjuption, and by unwearied labors
of mercy and good among your fellow men.
I do forgive you, my,friend, as Herbert's spir-
it would forgive you. And," in agayer tone,
itiv beloved husband, who will return to me
to-Say, will' bled you for preserving me to
him. . •
The darkness fell from me as she kissed
- my hand.. Yet it still shades my life; but as
a warning not as. a curse ;.a mournful: past,
not a destroying present. ' Charity and active
good among cur fellow men can destroy the
power of sin within us; and repentance in
deeds—not in tears, but in the life-long ef
forts of - a resolute - man—tan lighten the
l'bitckness.of a crigie and remove the curse of
punishment - from to. Work and love; by
these malt we win our pardon, and by these

'KNOW NOPIING REFORM.—The Legislature
h as v o t e d its members $5OO. each for the late
ses..4en, with the usual extras, and mileage, and
made the office a salaried one hereafter.—
Under the former law at $3 per diem, each
member would have received $378, with $25
extra-for stationery, &c., and mileage at the
rate of 15 cents. The increase is $122 for
each member amounting to $16,226 in the
Aggregate. If we add the salaries of the extra
otliee's appointed nt this session, the sum will
be swelled to about twenty thousand dollars.
This ts . the extra cost, to the
