WHAT 13 1-rCELE.
Vhat is noble ? To inherit
Wealth, ostato, nnd proud degree?
There must be some other merit
Higher yet than these for me I
Something greater far must enter
Into life's majestic span ;
Fitted to create and centre
True nobility in man !
IVIint Is noble ! 'Tis the finer
Portion of our Mind aud Heart,
Linked to something still diviner
Than mere laug'iing can impart ;
Ever promoting ever seeing
Some improvement yet to plan;
To uplift our fellow-being,
And like man to feel for man.
What is noble ? Is the puff?"
Nobler than the humble spade?
There's a dignity in lahor
Truer than e're pomp arrayed ?
Ho who seeks the Mind's improvement
Aids the world, in nidiug Mind :
Every great commanding movement
Serves not ouo but nil mankind.
O'er the Forge's heat nnd ashes,
O'er the Engine's iron. head,
V here the rapit shuttle flashes.
And the spindle whirls its I bread j
There is labor lowly tending
Each requiromeii'- of ihe hour.
There is genius siill exiendiug
Science and its world of power !
'Mid the dust, nnd speed and clamor,
Of the loom-shod and the null ;
,Mid the clank of wheel nnd hummer
Great results aro growing still.
Though, loo oil. by i'a-hion's cveaturcs,
Work and workers may be blamed,
Commerce need not liiJo her features !
, ludus.ry .s not ushamcd.
What i noble? That which places
Truth in its enfranchise will ;
Leaving steps, like angels traces,
That mankind mv follow still ?
E'en iho' Seoru's ninl-gam glances
Proved him pomes, of hi clan,
He's ihe Noble who advances
Freedom and the Cause of Man.

A SLIGHT MISTAKE.
A dusty looking traveler turned in at the
Treat L'ale, and pn red up the walk leading
fo the 1 1 ay ward lavnihouso.
There was nothing preponccsing in li is
appearance. Tho clothes lie wore, though
uot of course material, were yet seedy and
threadbare; and his hat, fashioned a quar
ter of a century before, showed long and
close acquaintance with suushine and
atorra. lie was quito old, too, although he
stopped quite nimbly up the gravel walk,
though tired, for he had tramped uiacy
miles under tho broiling heat of that July
sun. Withal, there was a look of shrewd
ness and knowledge of the world that
seeuid to belie his indigent appearance.
lie glanced about him at the well-cultivated
fields, the conilortable dwelling the
commodious barn and the numerous out
houacs, and muttered:
"Very well situated, whoever they are.
I will stop and rest awhile, it they will al
low such a rag shag ia tho house."
And the last thought seemed to afford
him immense pleasure.
He walkid up to tho front door, which
was open; but the sound of voices within
drew his attention, aud he stopped, with
his hands yet raised to rap.
"John llaywurd, I'm ashamed cf you!"
spoke a harsh, metallic, female voice.
"That my son should sp forget himself as
to stoop to even look at my lined help
much, more to make love to her, is ridicul
ous: fctiuruclul: iv hat is slier J'.vt-rbody
knows that Harriet Sinclair is nothing but
a beggar, at the bed! and how do we know
tLat she is even as good as that? Yet you
persist in seeing somethiug attractive about
her. For my part, I do not see how you
cau even look at her, while that splendid
.Maria Dalton is here! Yes, John, splendid
is iuo woru; auu sue is ricn, too: lou
know her uncle allows her an annuity
.1. - II -. J 1- ! . I -.r
sufficient to keep you both in style, and
when he dies she will Lave the whole. I
cannot see into it; and, John llaywurd I
will not have it! I will send the gir)
away!''
"11a! ha! ha!" chuckled the man at the
door. "Breezy! I do not like this eaves
dropping, but I declare I must hear
'John's' reply."
"Mother," began a voice, deep-toned
and calm, yet determined, "I will overlook
your aspersions, for you are angry; but if
you send Hatty away, I shall go too! She
shall not come to barm through any means
of ours. As to M iss Dalton, I will only say
that she can never he my wife!"
"Ha! ha! ha!" again chuckl 1. the man
at the door. "He's the light sort for me
I will rit-k this Hatty Sinclair with him.
Now I'll 6tep around to the other door, and
see what there is there."
He cautiously made Lis way around to
the rear door, which be found open like
the front, and he also heard voices.
".Lets see what tho weather is on this
sido of the house," said he, stopping to
listen.
"Harriet Sinclair, how dare you look me
in the face and tell me that?" eame in shrill,
angry tones through the open door.
And the little old man chuckled again,
and muttered:
"Whoever this Harriet Sinilair is, sho
is getting up quite a stir among these folks.
I rather like her. There goes that other
one again. I suppose it is Maria Dalton;
but she's made a slight mistake !"
"What do you suppose John Ilaywaid
cares for you ? You have not even a pret
ty lace to recommend you ; and, then, you
are nothing but a beggar ! Bah I what
ninny you are ! '
"Will you tell mo one thing?" came in
a faint, pleading voice. "Are you aud
John going to be married ?"
There was quite a pause, and the man
at the door grew impatient.
Thu came the answer, shaip and ma
licious :
'Yes we aro !'
'Oh !'
This exclamation came from natty, and
it was so lull ot pain and despair, that the
old man iuvoluntarelv stepped into the
rooai.
'The weuther appears to bo unsettled,"
said he to himself, 'aud I shall not be sur
prised if some of these folks get wrecked
in the storm. What a hornet's nest it
must be ! And there's the oueen herself.'
he added, as his gaze fell upon Maria Dal-
on s dark, handsome face.
rhe stood in the door leading into tho
great entry, with hand raised threateningly,
and her black eyes flashing angrily, while
Hatty Sinclair stood by the window with
her back turned to her tormenter, that she
might hide the tears which were streaming
down her flushed checks.
Neither of them saw the old man, and
he spoke to make his prescuce known.
"Good day, ladies. I've been taking olittlc
tramp hereabouts, and, as I got rather tired,
I thought I would stop in and rest a little.
'You arc welcome,' sid Hatty, turning
her tcaii'ul face toward hitn.
But Maria spoke tartly :
'We do not keep a hotel. You will find
one at the village.'
'But I am not at the village," said tho
man, cooly taking a teat, and chuckling to
himself as he saw the dark cloud gathering
on Maria's face. 'I ara very tired, too, and
quito hungry.'
The cloud grew blackr ; but ere the
storm burst, John Hay ward entered the
room.
Instantly Maria's face was all sunshine.
'Storm is past for tho present,' thought
the little man ; but there is no knowine
how long we shall have fair weather, so I
will make the most of it.' Then to John
II ay ward : 'I just stopped in to rest a
moment, and get a bite to eat.'
'You aro welcome, sir,' said John frank
ly. 'Hatty will, ycu get him a lunch ? Or,
perhaps you will stay to tea, sir?'
'Thank you, sir ; but I will go on to the
village, where that lady tells me there is a
hotel."
Maria shot him a look out cf her flash
ing eyes that called a smile to his face
But John did uot see it ; tor he was watch
ing Hatty is she flitted here and there,
preparing the lunch tor the visitor.' Then
he and Maria left the kitchen.
The man was apparently very hungry
judging from tho length of time required
to satisfy himself. And all the while he
was plying Hatty with questions about
herself and her parents, till the poor girl
began to think he was crazy. But at length
he lose to go ; and with many thanks to
Hatty, and a promise to see her again
soon, he took his departure.
A week passed, and the old man again
stood at the door of the Ilayward farm,
house. It was quite dark, and he sat
down on the stone step, listening to the
joyous music and happy lauahtcr that
came from the house.
Presently a little figure flitted pat him,
and he recognized Hatty Sinclair. lie
hurried after her, and soon overtook her.
'You have left them at last V said he,
inquiringly. 'Where are you going ?'
'I cannot tell, Eaid she stopping and
looking back to the house.
Poor child ! She had not thought of
hat.
'You can go with me,' said the man,
'Your father was my brother, Hatty ! I am
your Uncle James !'
natty gave a glad cry j but the next
Vnoment she thought of tho misery
na.i anven tier away, and burst into tears,
Poor girl ! Did they drivo you away ?'
'He is going to bo married to Maria to-
night,' said sho, musingly.
'It is false !' said tho old mnn.
'Maria told me so,' replied Hatty, yet
in a Btate of abstraction, 'and I could stay
there no longer.
'It is false !' repeated the old man. 'I
heard John Ilayward say that Maria Dal
ton should never be his wife, and he will
not break his word. She told you a false
hood. But never mind now. Go home
with mo, and we will show Miss Maria
Dalton that she has overreached herself.'

Mrs. Ilayward was really vexed when she
learcd that Hatty had left her, for sho had
been very faithful ; but withal was a feel
ng of relief that the 'girl' was out ol John's
way.
Maria Dalton pretended to b8 greatly
shocked, and hinted in various subtle ways
thaf, uothing better could have been expec-
ted-
John was very much grieved, and came
very near being angry with his mother.
'It is a shame !' said he, indignantly ;
'and no one shall ever say, with truth, that
John Ilayward ever allowed tho humblest
ot joa s creatures to be driven away from
tlie ilayward home-stead. 1 shall go after
her and bring her back.'

he would bo at homo soon, but raying noth

they judged that he had failed, and given
up the search.
The Monday following, an elegant car
riage, drawn by two thoroughbreds, stop
ped before the Ilayward farmhouso and a
servant hurried up to the house.
For Miss Maria Dalton,' said he, placing
a tard iu Mrs. Ilayward's hand.
Marii was in the parlor in a flutter of
excitement. She gave a cry cf joy when
she read tho name.
'Sohn Sinclair, my uncle,' said she proud,
ly. 'Mrs. Ilayward, will you have the
kindness to tell the servant to show him
in.'
An elderly geutleruan alighted, and walk
ed slowly toward the house.
Maria could not wait to see this rich un
cle, at-d she met him at the door.
'My niece. Maria Dalton ?' said the gen
tleman. 'Yes, uncle,' sa;d Maria, leaning the way
to the parlor.
'1 can stop but a few moments,' said Mr.
Sinclair, after being presented to Mrs, Ilay
ward. 'I have been looking up my connec
tions since my return from India, and, quito
fortunately, chanced to ffud another niece
Perhaps you tiay remember her Hatty
Sinclair.'
Mrs. Ilayward gave a scream, and Maria,
to hide her chagrin and vexation, covered
her face with bcr handkerchief.
Mr. Sinclair continuad :
'Hatty and her husband aro now in tho
carriole, lwu call them.
John Ilayward eoon appeared with Hatty
that I feaniog on his arm ; and if Maria spoke tha
truth when she said that Hattv had noi o
even a pretty faw to recommend her, then "
that face must have chanced, for sha look ';

'Mother, I have found her,' 'satd '"John,
'and brought her back, but not to stay.
She dues not like this part of tlie country,
ana we nave consented to make onr homo
with Mr. Sinclair. , We shall expect to see
you there quite often.'
The pool woman was so much astonished
that she could not utter a word, and Mr.
Sinclair took advantago of the silence to
call Maria back, fotr sho was slipping out of

rebellion in tho South, advances the ooin-
lou that England is likely to be drawn into
tho European war, and that in such a con
tingency the United States would likewke
become involved in the contest. The wish is
probably father to the thought. Unfortun
ately, there are many people in thatieotion
who are insano enough to hope yet for some
turn in events which may assist" them to ac
complish their cherished scheme of a seo
arato fclaveholdiug confederacy. ' They are
hoping against hope. Not if all Europe
were arrayed in war sgaiust us could an
other Southern rebellion now succeed.
