We twain tare mocked at lightly;
And through our hearts to-night are warm,
Our heads are powdered whitely ;
And snows lure drifted o'er our souls,
To fall on wintry heather,
And hide from us the grassy knolls
-Where rest our loves together. -
Stir up the lire Iwe talk of lore—
Of love, old friend, and sorrow ;
For life, like rainbow arched above,
Its light through tears toast borrow.
We'll talked of lips that clung to ours,
Though ours are now like leather;
We'll talk of girls, we'll talk of flowers,

Iliad been married On •years, anddur
ing this period bad worked hard to Main
tam saytiamili and provide-them with the,
necessariesof life. Superflnitiesneverearno
within our home. My salary as a book
keeper barely kept the wolf from the door,
and - enabled me to ptisip t p PTllling for
bread and Witter Mali my littlo'ones
manifested. But we managed to make a
brave show, and' got along better, perhaps,
than we deservet coni s ess with a `blush
that we were always ambitious to eat a
dash if fortune would only favor us, and
Minty were'"the seheineS, 'as visionary as
they were foolish, and tilt/ wife and myself
conjured' up, to end only in • disppoult
silent:- Poor fools, that:, we were, lied • we
known what was bettor for us, we never
would have sighed for rielieL ,
I had eipeetations, but they were con
tingent; on 'the 'death 'of my grandmother,
and ilk ,e goof f soul, had taken such a ten
acious holden life that site bid fair to out
live as till, amid the was in her seventy
, tliird year. 40 the paid the debt of na
lure one day; and left me her only grand
child, the snag sum of twenty thousand
dollars. It was perhaps unkind in me to
experience such happiness as I did when
she departed for mansions above, yet I
wfdked with amore elastic step and carried
my head at a more independent attitude,
thee I had done since 'my earliest recol
lection.
My wife caught the spirit which ani
mated me, and the poor woman commenc
ed to lay the foundation of the most mag
nificent and delusive air castles that ever
a dreamy imagination erected.
Wg had neighbors over the way who
had always made a better show than our
selves on a salary much smaller than I re
ceived, although their family was as nn
merone as my own, anailleir requirements
fully as great. This bothered and per
plexed my wife, and was a p/A3 tin mil thorn
in her het! of roses. •
The Jones family, for snob was their
name, even presumed to treat us with
that polite condescension that eyer char
terizes those who consi der themselves a
peg higher than others, and yet are deter
mined to be agreeable :
This was galling to high-string natures
like ours, and we often chewed the bitter
cud with a hope of retaliation when gran
ny should depart from this panndane
sphere. Of course, we knew that our an
censtry was better than Jones, and we
took care to proclaim it, but pedigree
didn't help us much"tilien the pinbh came
for market money.
I think the ears of the Ames' family
must have tingled when they beard the
oft-rereated story of my wile's grandfath
er,who was a drummer in the Revolution.
aid aatually had his tambour "b4rsted"
by a British shot at the battle of Brandy
wine.
My side of the house was equally as il
' lustrous as my partner's. If they did not''
partake of the war-like aspirations, they
nevertheless filled a good share of fume in
their Nev England village by expounding
the word life to the hungry souls who
for three generations had listened to their
Auld "blue-light" sermons.
When, therefore, granny died, my wife
insisted that we should, us soon us possi
ble, receive the decayed dignity of 'our
name, by purchasing a house and keeping
a horse and carriage. I was not lung in
following her sage counsel, and bought a
residence unnecessarily large,with a brick
stable at the end of thi yard.
This done, I ordered a couple of tons of
hay, a quantity of corn and oats, and then
put au advertisement in the paper for a
steady and competent coachman. Before
night I had to summon the bell-banger
three times to repair' damages. Out of
the two hundred who called in answer to
my advertisement, I selected a fine young
fellqw of Mileian type, whose great-grand
father had been one of the many coash
men of George IV.. I considered that a
man sprung from such a distingqished
pFofesston#l, must understand his nosi
ness. tengagedhim at tiftydollars a month,
his pay to commence on the instant.—
Taking his address, and informing him I
would inform him when his services were
required, I sallied out to make the neces
sary 'purchase. I 'determined to get #
thorough bred steed.,
One of my friends invited me to attend
the sales at the Bazaar,and thither went.
Quite a porniscuorts 'crowd were assembly
ed, and - they were all "talking liorse."-_-
New I am not a very good judge of a
horse, living or dead, nud I. did not like
to appear given, so I thought ,I would go
by my eye, supposing that would be the
method most likely to procure me what I
desired. The time for bringing the horses
into .the 'ring had not yet arrived, as they
were bubsy selling ca i mages
You must not suppose I wasgoing ; to pur
chase a second hand. vehicle, - The one I
;Ad in my mind'hacrseme sort ,of heraldic

As I stood in the crated, s: gentleman
with a green coat and brass hi:Atone came
up and shook hands with me, saying he
had met;me in NewiYerk.
.1 remarked that. I had often been iii
New York, but that I did not recollect
him. Ile said that was of no consequence,

"My name Is Smith," t answered;

.could I have forgotten it? : Now, Smith,
my dear fellow he 'oolitiniapd, growing
more Confidential, "I'm-going to tell you
something. Every Man of any note in
New York, When he goes to buy a horse,
hunts me np and says: "My dear Brown,
won't you
_do me the favor to give me
your opinion, etc., etc., etc. I always like
to oblige ni friends, htit the jockeys,

.can drive him.. Do you want something
fait?°
S' o be sure I do;I I replyed : "if I
didn't I. shouldn't bets come here to
day."
Ur. Brown laughed in au easy way.
"I suppose
you can pay a good price for
such animals" he asked;
I felt half offended at hi's insinuation.
but I thought perhaps he had not heard
of my good luck, so I slapped the frit Iv 1-
let in my pocket, and significantly noded
my head.
'Confidence begets confidence," they
say. I therefore informed him that I had
come into possession of a round sufn of
money, and was desirous-of getting rid of
it in a proper way. During the past week
I had been very successful. He smiled
and said he would try and help me in my
endeavor. I asked him to tuke another
drink, but he declined, saying that he
never exceeded a couple of glasses. This
gave me a better opinion of Brown, for I
began to think I had token too much my
self. I felt very elevated, and a good deal
richer than I really was.
He drew me aside and confidentally told
me that he had a blooded gray mare which
would arrive in the eity late that night.
That if Ldesired it he would sell her to
me. Would only do so out of friendship.
Wouldn't part with her to any one else.—
Was vet; fast, could go in 2:30. Had been
offered twice that sum, but out of friend
ship would not ask me her full N.:WIC.
I was highly pleased with the proposi
tion of Mr. Brown, and when we parted
it was with the undemanding that I
would meet him on the Bell road the next
morning at 10 o'clock.
I was punctual to a minute, so was Mr.
Brown. lie had a snix-rb animal in wait
ing, attached to a light wagon. To my
delight she verified all -he had said about
her. We tried her a good many timesover
the course, and at each lima my satisfac
tion increased. The light driving wagon
was a tasty affair, and he said was indis
pensable fur my establishment; he offered
it to me at cost, three -hundred and fifty
dollars. oWe went to the hotel, where
drew him a cheat- for Ihirteeu. hundred
and fifty dollars. lie put it carelessly in
to his pocket, patted the mare on the neck,
then, with a sorrowful shake of the head,
muttered, "all for friendship."
My heart nnbraided me as I thought of
the sorrow I had caused this worthy man
by buying an animal to which he teas so
much attached. But I was too proud just
at that moment to feel remorse very long.
Wouldn't the Joneses envy me now
Patrick O'Couner, my coaeh'tnan, pro
nounced her "a rale beauty." This pleas
ed me still mom. Wife and children all
came to the stable to pay her a visit, pat
ted her neck, stroked her mane, and tho't
she was pretty enough to have her picture
painted and hung up in our drawing
room. I made up my mind to call on an
artist the next day and have a superb
likeness of my mare painted. I slept well
that night, and dreamed I had won the
stakes at the MetaireCoursic.
For two successive'Weeks my-mare was
the theme of conversation among horse
men. "Who is hie. I frequently - heard
them ask, when I appeared on My way to
the park.
"Oh," they would reply, "it's that rich
Smith, he has lots of money, and the fast
est horse in the city. Look at her. You
ought to see her trot--she's a perfect won
der." .
All this was greatful to my vanity, and
I never failed to report it to my wife when
I returned home. One day we were invit
ed to dine with my friend Primer, who is
a newspaper man. Primer lived in a fine
house ou Broad street. I vcas.sitting-in
to home doing nothing' in particular,
wheu.there came a violent pull at the hell.
Directly after Pat O'Connor, who waited
on the door when not otherwise engaged,
put his head into the room and said: •"Ile
jahtrs,theree a couple of fellows who•want
to see you."
"Say gentleman," I mildly replied, by
Tray of rebuke.
"Do you call thim gentlemen?" be re
turned.
"Show them in," I said.
tehend in by Pat, two heavy-lira
men, in course Country clothing, entered
and etated that they had heard a great
deal of my mare, and , would be plca.sed if
would allow them to inspect her. orPoFbe I would, and be proud enough
to show her. i led the way.to the stable,
where 'She stood munching her hay as
daintily as lady would sip cream. The
men looked at her, said something to each
other itni lo'w voice, and then bidding me
good day, de&ited without ; so ranch as a
word ofpraise for my horse. 'Twits clear

an affidavit that the u3are 1 was driviut

one of the persons present. They produc
ed a newspaper published in some obscure
town in the State, in which she was ac
curately described, and a reward for.ber
recovery offered. I stormed, but it was of
no avail; I said I would find my friend
Brown.
"You're done brown, I guess," remark
ed a fellow with black soap locks.
"I am no such thing," I
_reßlyed, "my
name is Smith; my fnend Pnnn Brown
is altogether a different 'looking person
from me."
Then they all -laughed, tbe alderman

in the soap lock man's remark, but I anti

My wife went into hysterics, fearing that
I had been murdered. PerhAps io r thitik
this was a salutary lesson for me.? -I didn't
know ; I have often wondered that it
didn't make me sharper; but I'm afraid I
did not experience its full effect.
Not a week afterward a friend of mine
filled my head with dazzling visions of
wealth to be acquired by speculating in
oil wells. Many persons, women as well
as men, had oil on the brain. Why
shouldn't I have it too? Fabulous for
tunes bad been made in a remarkably
short space of time. I staked all I %Ira
worth. expecting to be worth a million in
a month.
Alas! that delusive balloon that carried
upward to the clouds of dreamland, ex
ploded one fine day and let me A down to
earth again with a crash, which, if it did
nothing else, showed me where I was
hurt.
Just three months of purple and fine
linen—just three months of mistaken hap
piness —and I am back to the I.ttle nar
row street again from whence I issued.—
Every day sees me rise early and plod . to
Rif old..vocation of a book-keeper.

and laughing, as some saucy and ragged
urchin call ont to me as I pass by,

Washington's Dog:
Washington, it is stated, was out hunt
ing
in the Virginia foreits; accompanied i
by his favorite hound Governor. A heavy
storm of rain and inist coming up,-he
lost his way, his powder was rendered ;
useless, and, to add to the perils And in
convenience of his situation, he found
that he had not his pocket compass with
him. In this sorry plight he wandered iu
circles, as people do who are lost in the
bush, wetted, weary, hugry, for he had no
food save wild berries. Ile was almost
exhausted, when a happy thought: occur
red to him. Tying his pocket-flask and
his powder-flask to his dog's tail, he
fastened his long sash around the animal's
neck, holding one end in his hand. Then
he planted a tremendous kick in the
dog's lumber region. The animal was so
completely surprised at this treatment
that he stood for a moment paralyzed,
then, wheeling about lie struck -a bee-line
for home, It ita curious but undoubted
fact that any sudden glare; or attack :will
quicken a dog's perceptive faculties, rend
er more subtle his scent and powerful his
memory, and induce him, like 3lareoßoz-
Loris, to strike fog his home. $o thp dog
fled, and Washington followed desper.ate
ly, over stomps, through bogs,into briars,
until finally the sash gave way. With one
tremendous yell Washington seamed still
further the frantic animal, the terrible
banging and clattering of the flasks at his
itt'eis added to his speed, and in a moment
he was oat of sight. After a hearty laugh
at the incident, Washington leisurely
marched in the direction-the dog had
taken. was easy to do so by observa
tion of the longer branches; ea the other
signs with which an experienced hunter
is acquainted. It was not long. therefore,
before he reached a clearing and was once
more in safety. But, he adds, the dog
once faithfully attached to him, could not
to the day of his death entlpie thefiresenee
or even hear his voice without relapse in
to an agony of terror.
