If you stood on a sunny smother*
With a girl of the modern school, -
As the waves were dancing light
' With the breezes waft and cool,
And von naked her it the picture
Was not.worth the viewing twice,
She would tell you without reflection
She certainly thought It was nice.
If you happened in conversation •
To touch upon Trollope and Read°,
Or Tyndall, or Darwin, or Spencer,
No matter what the creed ;
And you asked if for leisure moments
.These - authom would not suffice,
She'd tell you In the words t.f the wisest
She certainly thought they ware "alce4"
If you sat inn vast cathednd,
While vomes rich and rare
In sweet, melodious accent a
Chanted the evening prayer,
And you asked it it didn't Impreis her,
, Rer answer would be concise—
She'd tell you in accents charming
She certainly thought it was nice.
It art, was one of your hobbics.
That gave you the greatest delight;
If you were a lover of beauty,
Believed in nesthetical might;
if from her, eoucentiag these topics, ..
Tier opinions you trim to entice,
She'd tell you in syllables sweetest
She certainly thought they wen; "nice."
So it is nice to read novels and dance;
We nice to be good in Lent ;
It's nice to have plenty of money ;
It's Mee not to care how it's spent;
It's nice to play Suntlay•school teacher;
It's nice to dabble in vice ;
In short with the girl at the period,
It's certain that everything's NICE.

The weary months mil slowly by,
Once more the roses bloom and am.,
I see them fitdinz with a sizh.
I pluck these blossoms, as I stray,
Along the path where shadows stny,
Strewn o'er with leutiets in decay.
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.
I mingled in the gay . world's throng,
And sane in youth n Joyoo3 song,
Till fate and sorrow came along.
They hushed the wog, my dream was

MISCELLANEOUS READING
ONLY A LOVE STORV
We all sat alone—Nellie and I—an
open book on my lap, looking as discon
solate as any two people on the face of the
earth could look.
"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.
I hated to hear her speak so of my fa

had been a wealthy merchant in New
York (where I was brought up). but had
failed. 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.

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.
And then I unfolded to him my plan.

"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. See ! he
has given me aTe years longor in winch

"Can this be yo - u, Virginia ?" he ark•

formal.

Nellie, seeing us coming, ran to meat. us.
"Is thin you. Rupert r' she cried, in a
little whirl of excitement.
And he uncerernoni ,, naly picked her
up and kissed her warmly.
"Pardon me!" he exclaimed, dropping
her ; "I really had f;trgotten that you
had grown out of your hall data!"
"I am

And with a demure hide courtesy, she
fluttered into the house, to announce his

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.

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

hardly necessary to state that the niece
needed but little persuasion to aeconipa !

story is increased by the tact that Mr.
Provost has a eon who is a very promis

became laminated with his newly-found
cousin. The old gentleman in his ecsta,

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

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

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

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

man, who was in the habit of calling to

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

her mistress' order. It is a well known
fact that the average female Sfrican nev

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. Bigamy is not :Wow

proposals." 4011ot:hat a fool the man is."

does the cooking' she would not allow us'
good-looking a woman as you to stay in
the house five minutes." She looked at us
in despair. Gathering her robes about

exclaimed : "I do believe that if a 300-
pounder were let off long-side that deaf

FIFTY CTS. EXTIO. IF NUT. IN ADVANCE.
A IaVIETY.
The(flrtt dear thing that ever I loved
-""Was a mother's; gentle eye, • ' ••
That smiled 64 I ;woke on the dreamy couch
That cradled my inancy.
I never lOTA the joyous thrill •
That smile in my anirit stirred, -
Ilioar how it could charm we against my Ain
Till I laughed like a joyous bird.
And the next fair thing that ever I Weed
Was n bunch of, snuffler flowers,
'With odors, and lines, and loveliness,
Fresh as from Eden's boweni. .
I never can find such hoes Apia,
•
Nor smell such sweet perfume.
And If there he odors as sweet as Uten,
'Tie I that have lout the bloom.
And the next dear thing that ever I lined
Was a fawn-like little maid,
Ehtic pleased, half nwed by the frolic boy
.., That tortured her dolt, and played.
I never can sew the gossamer
Which rude rough zephyrs tease.
But I thiplt bow I. tossed her flossy locks
With my whirling bonnet's breeze.
And the next good thing that ever I loved
Wa's a field of Wavy grain;
Wheie the reapers mowed a ahip in sail
On the billowy, billowy main:
Anti the next wits a fiery prancing horse
That I felt like a man to stride;
And the next was a beautiful sailing.boat,
With a helm it was hard to guide.
And, the next dear thing I was fond to love
Is tenderer far to tell
'Twits a vOice, and a heed, and a gentle eye
That dazzled me with its spell;
And the ',meant thing I had loved before
Were only the landscape now.
On the canvass bright where I pictned her
In the glow of my early vow.
And the next gond thing I was fond to love
Wes to sit in my cell alone,
Musing o'er all these lovely things,
Forever, forever flown.
Then out I walked in the forest tree.
Where wantoned the autumn wind;
And the colued boughs swung shiveringly,
In harmony with my mind.
And a spirit was on me that next I loved, '
That ruletit my spirit .011.
And maketh me murmur theaosinpeong words,
Albeit Flglillfit my will.
And I walked the woods till winter came,
And [ben did I love the snow,
And I beard the gales thro' wildwood_ aisles --
Like the Lord's own organ blow.
The blush I had loved in my greenweed walk,
I saw it f fur away,
Surpliced with snows, like the bending priest
That Itreel in the church to pray;
And f thwt of the 'wilted fitue, and high,
Where I stood when a little chOrl,
Awed by the lauds sung thrillingly,
And the anthems undefiled.
And main to the vaulted (March T want,
And I heard the same sweet prayers,
And the same full organ peels upsent,
And the same soft soothing airs
And I felt in toy spirit so drear and strange .
To think of the race I ran,
That I heed the lone thing that knew no
change
In the sou/ at the body and wan.
And the tears-I seeps in . the wilderness ---
And that froze on my lids, did fall,
And melted to pearls for my sinfulness,
Like realm than the eves of Paul:
And the lust dear thin:: I was fond to love,
•
Was that holy eerrice high,
That lifted my soul to Jove above,
And pleasures that do not die.
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

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.—
