And oft I pause and glance around, My soul grows glad with sudden bound I thought I heard a fukt-step's sound. But ah no mortal is me near. To' watch the earth grow brown and sere, Ana note the changes of the year. These flowers that bless my lowly lot, They take away all bitter thought. They give the solace I have sought. They bring no love with broken vow, They by deceit no rung file how, They're always true as they are now.

"It's no use attiring longer," my mother had said. "The end must come sooner or later, and as well flaw as any time. I knew, when your father corn - meuced his beastly speculation, what it would amount to, if h.- had lived. You can marry Rupert Chichester. Nellie can go to - Mrs. Ingeluw, and as fur me the poorhouse is open :" "Not so bad as that mother." I said for her words smote me to the heart.

With the wreck of his fortune, we moved to Texas. The city of 0-- was being built and land was going at a very high rate. My father invested all his money in land.and built a small house. ft was the old story. Land went down--ev erything failed him, and, list before a mortgage was to be foreclosed, which should turn us all out beggars, he died. Meanwhile, for two years previous to our going West, I had been Itseping com pany with Rupert Chichester. He wished to marry me betore we went. but me father objected. 'Virginia is young," he said ; and you are not very old. Yon can both afford to wait a while. Let two years pass ; if then you love one another as you do now, you are welcome to her my boy." Rupert had to consent to the orange. meet. Two years had passed almost, and Rupret had written to me that he war coming. "What else can we do ?" my mother asked petulantly. "I will give [taped np," I said slowly, for it cost me a desperate effort to make the sacrifice, 4 -and stay here to take care of you and Nell !" ;You!" she sneered. "What can a girl of nineteen-do ? You had better take Rupert, if he will have you 1" I turned away. My mind was made up, but I cannot say that I did not stiffer! All that night long I lay awake, look ing the future straight in the face. I loved Rupert, and I would cry only to cease, rest, and commence again. . The next morning I arose early. I pot on my sun-bonnet (a crowd would have eollected.had I attempted to walk down Broadway with it on) and started out to see Dr. Haverhill. Ills office was some two miles away. When I arrived there, I found - him alone. - "What c it the matter, Mies Virgins ?" he asked. "Have yon dome to be pre scribed for? You look ill, child," he con tinued, in a_ more subdued tone. !'l. fear yon are worying!" "I want your advice, &dor," I return ed, "but not. in rega n rd to me health." '"aria i shall have he said.

"It he Meet Pm, he will see some other way out of your difficulties," he add, al most beneath his breath. Then aloud : "I will go over to squire lienyon'a with you, and see if Z cannot get him to ex tend your mortgage." "Thank you,' I returned : and half the burden seemed lifted from my shoul ders. Squire Kenyon listened to es, and gave me five years to pay it off in, provided that I paid a stipulated sum every three months. I agreed to that, and then re turned home. Where have you been ?" my mother inquired. "Ova: to kiiire Kenyon's.

An hour later, I was holding the plough, and working like a mau, eager to Let as much dune as possible before Ru pert came. Two weeks passed, and one day, imex pectealy, he ariired. I shall never forget bow he flushed, as he caught sight of me, standing behind the plough, in that old sun-hounet, withry face hot from my labor. "Can this be yo - u, Virginia ?" he ark• ed as he gate me a kiss which was ratimr formal. 1 walked to the house with him, and Nellie, seeing us coming, ran to meat. us. "Is thin you.

"Pardon me!" he exclaimed, dropping her ; "I really had f;trgotten that you had grown out of your hall data!" "I am _,/iffecit," z3ellie respadcd, shak ing her curls at him. I wish you to un derstand that I ern a young baity, sir." And with a demure hide courtesy, she fluttered into the house, to announce his coming to mother.

But I went. Days passed, and yet he lingered at our house. All the time he was with Nellie, who played with hint as t. the was a child, and new er by word or deed alluding to the en gagement that had been between ne. Six weeks went by, and still he was there. Eyery night I cried regularly about my looks—loclish and weak you will say, but I could not help IL I had been brought up a lady, and my hard work, my freckled and sun-burnt face. my red hands, seemed so hateful, that I almost hated myself. I knew that it was that which had turned Rupert from me, and though I whispered to myself that I was doing my duty by thus earning bread fur us all, and that a man whose love would go so easy was better lost than retained, I still wept bitterly over it. Every day Dr. Haverhill came over to s ee h o w I was progressing. He noticed that I was growing thinner and sadder. "Does your farm prosper as well as you 'anticipated ?" lie ask,ll, as I leaned on the fence to talk to him. "Yes," I returned. •'Tmi are failing," he continued; "and I stuip-ct the cause of it, I see how the man ling , rs around here ; has he accept ed his Menge ?"

Then I sat down beneath the shade of a tree, where I was. concealed from sight by the shrubbery, and soon fell asleep.

Among the steerage passengers who &Med tiler to New York from Havre, a lu tle while ago, was a young French girl nulled Louise Dunramit. Her destina tion was Newark, Delaware,where she had a thetant Impale relative living, in indi gent circonistance,and, as sbe believed. the o , ,lN.surriving kin the had in the world. By some mistake, mein to her to speak the English language, sic tool - a train on the Delaware Lack aa mina and Western Itiilr"ad, and got oh at Nee ark. N. J. When she was inform ed uf her error, she boueit a ticket to n ti..ru again to New York on the next train. but on accouni r of a very remarkable oc. curence she was induced to change her untid. As the girl sat in the depot, downcast in her spirits,alone and in a strange land and almost penniless, visions of her home in La Belle, France, crossed her mind. She thoi ght of her mother who had re cently died, of her only brother who fell with its father as they 'might side by side at the terrible battle of Saarbruck, and us she mused upon her past lop a:.d presint loneliness,she unconsciously Loved Avail a large gold locket that was ens pended by.a long silver chain from her neck, while tears trickled down her cheeks. She was a brunet of the loveli est type, and her jet black waivy hair was arranged with such exqnisite taste that it made the broad, light forehead, express ive brown eyes, and graceful throat ap pear to the best advantage. While Loom-vas abstractedly playing uith her locket, there came into the de pot a tall and handsome gentleman, about sixty years of age, He had. something' of a military bearing, and hie countenance indicated intelligence and refinement. The girl's appearance immediately at tracted his attention, and as he, too was waiting for the train, he occupied the time in watching her, as he walked leis nrely to and fro in the ladies'. room, he came near to where the girl .was Wang just as she opened the locket sad reveal ed a well-known face, that. was the exact counterpart of -a picture lie had at pone in his liorary. It represented the Em press Josephine, the deceased wife of Na poleon Bonaparte. The gentleman im mediately asked the girl, in good French, where she obtained the picture. She re plied with much simplicity "My mother gave it to me." Requesting the. favor of examining the locket, he took it in his, hand, and, with tee greatest astonishment, reading the following inscription : "Josephine, to Hortense De "Miratel, 1812." "My Mother was a Miratel," said he, scanning the beautiful French girl's fee tares closely. "and," he added, as a fight seemed to flash in upon his confused ideas, "she was a sister of Hortense De Miratel, who for some act of faithfulness to the unhappy :Josephine;received this locket and portrait as a reward. My good girl, who are you, anyhow ?" The child then related tier story—how her father and brother had been killed in battle, and than her• mother had re. cently died that, she had been Committed to the care of the only relative that she believed to be living, at Neteark,Del. The gentleman then being satisfied that the girl was his own niece; disclosed his own 1,1 Victor. Provost.- Be had escaped trout 'prison "'rhea a - young Man, having heen incarcerated •by the Boar. bans . uluint the tithe of the sojourn of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte in America. He Bed to this country and , settled at Wilkesbarreipa.i where he now liita in affluence, being interested in large coal and iron tracts in that locality. It is hardly necessary to state that the niece needed but little persuasion to aeconipa ! ny her uncle home.. The romance of her story is increased by the tact that Mr. Provost has a eon who is a very promis ing young man, and that lie immediatitly became laminated with his newly-found cousin. The old gentleman in his ecsta, cy at the. turn things have taken, has resolved dint his sun than marry the girl on Yew Year's day. Of course young Provost has accepted this imposition with much joy, and orders for a meg.nift cent bridal trosseau are now being fated by various parties in New York, for the fortunate girl who, but a little more than a week ago, was a penniless steerage pas senger in an emig,rant,ship. • A Surprhill Lover. The Savannah News tells the following: A felt days since a little incident occur red in this city of a decidedly rich char scter, and the particulars having just come into our possession we relate them fur the benefit of our readers. It appears that a lady residing in the vicinity of one of our beautiful squares, noted for benevolence, has a pretty numerohs list of pensioners, and us may be expected cot utifrequently is interrupted in house hold duties by the culls 'of these benell• chines of her charity The lady in ques tiuu has been supplying some of her pensioners with the cold victuals from the table, and having quite a large family the amount of good substuuhul food thus disposed of was ciaisiderable. Her din ing•ruom is in the basement, and so fa miliar had site Leconte with the dress and appearance of these daily millers that., sit wig by the wil,dow, she could recognize the different ours as they ascended the steps, to ring the bell, by a glance at their feet. On such an occasion she was saved the trouble of going up stairs to 61A out ho it was that desired to see her, and would instruct the colored ser vants to carry up a plate -of cold victuals to the person, This much is necessary in order that the reader may appreciate the amosinir incident which resulted from this habit. The lady has a charm hag daughter, who like all pretty young ladies, has an adorer, and this fortunate young gentleman resides in one of the adjoining counties, consequently has the pleasure of visiting her only ut in tervals. The other day, very unexpected ly, he hail an opportunity of coming to the city, which he embraced most will ingly, and hastened on the "wings of love." as it here, to the residence of his sweetheart. As fate would have it, the regular call ers after cold victuals and other dona tions wet s partantlarly numerous r n the day of his arrival, and the "bell was kept ringing for Sarah" uninterruptedly throughout the morning. As the lover reached the Itru:e and mounted tIM steps reveling in the anticipations of the pleas alit surprise of his sweetheart in reedit.- ing this nnlouked her visit, the lady of I the house saw his shadow on the wall. I and taking it for that of a poor young man, who was in the habit of calling to somethhig fur his lied-ridden mother, said "Sarah run tip steins and give th a t young men the Nate of cold victuals you will find in the safe." Just then the bell rang, and the emi nent colorid servant hastened to evecute her mistress' order. It is a well known fact that the average female Sfrican nev er exercises any discretion, anid so it VMS with Sarah. who, seizing th- plate hur ried to the floor, and presenting the cold victuals before he had time to speak. said: "al issue seat you some cold victuals. and says how am your mother r It, is treed less to say that the young nom declined the douaintu, and with much indigna -1.10.4 in his heart took his departure, firm ly convinced that he bird been grossly insaited. The mistake having been discovered the usual little billet dmix of explanation followed, and the prospects are that "it will be made up," and the surprised lob-• er Ival enjoy the joke himself. An Editor who Is Deaf. We thought everybody in the State knew that we were deaf, but once in while we find one who is not aware of the fact. A female book-peddler came to dis pose of a book. She was alone in this world. and had no one to whom she could turn for sympathy or assistance; hence we should buy her book. She was ur - married and had no manly heart into which she could- pour her sufferings heretofore we ought to invest in herbook. She had reeeived a liberal education, and could talk French like a native: we could not in conserpience, pay her less than 82 for leer book. We had listened attentively and - here broke in with : what did you. say We're deaf." She started in a lotid voice, and went through her rigmorole. When she had finished, we went and got a roll of paper, made it into a speaking trumpet, placed one end to the ear and told her to proceed. She nearly broke /I blood yesSi I in her attempts to make her self heard. She commenced :I am alone in this world---." "It dooen•t make the slightest difference to ns. We are a hus band and a father.

THEN HES ARE AT THEIR BEET. Dr. Heard states that from an analysis of the lives of a thousand representative men In all , the great branches id human effort, he made the discovery that the golden decade was be tween 30 and 40, the silver between 40 and 50, and brazen between 20 and 30, and the iron be tween 50 and CO. The superiority of youth and middle life over old age In original work. appears all the greater when we consider the fact that all positions of honor and prophet and prestige—prefessorshipsand public stations are in the hands of the old. Reputation, like money and position, Is mainly confined to the old. Men are not widely know. until long after they bad done the work that gives them their fame- Portraits of great men are a delu sion; statues are lien They are taken when men have become famous, which on the aver , ago is lit least twenty-five years after they did the work which gave them their fanie. Origin al work- requires enthusiasm. If nil their origin al work done by men wider forty-five were annihilated, they would- be reduced to barbar ism. Men are at their best at that time when, enthusiasm and experience are most evenly. balanced ; this period on the average Is from thirty-eight to forty. After this thelaw is-that experience increases, but enthusiasm declines. In the life of almost every old man there comes a point, sooner or later, when-expert-erten-ceases to have any educating power.' IDLDNESS. • Many young people think that. en Idle life must he a pleasant one ; but there are none who enjoy so little, and are such burdens to them• selves. as those who have nothing to do. These „wheare obliged to work bard all day enjoy their salt .periods of rest and Tema• tion so much, that, they are ,apt to think if their whole lives were spent ;h3rest and rec• reation, itwould be the most pleasant of all.— But this is n sad mistake, as they would soon find out it they made a trial 'of the life they think so agreeable. One•whofs never busy can never rest; for rest Implies a relief from previous labor; and if our whole time were' spent in emoting ourselves, we would find it more wearisome than the hardest day's work. Recreation is only valuable as it unbends us ; thesdle can know nothing of it. .Many people leave off business and settlei,.down to a life •ot enjoyment; but they generally find• that they are not nearly so happy as th,SY were Itefore, and they are often :Ind to return to theoocilPa• tinny to escape from the miserica of Indolence.— Heratd of lieell.
