I gaze far over the quiet sea, Rosy with sunset, like mellow wine, Where ships, like lilies, lie tranquilly, Many and fair—hut I see not mine. I qtte@tion the gallon tom night— Who over the halwarke Idly lean Noting the sails as they coma in eight— " Have you eeen my beautiful ship come in ?" "Whence does ahe come?" they tisk of me-- " Who ie her master, and what her name?" And they smite upon me pityingly When my anewer is ever and ever the same. 0, mine waa a reseal of strength and truth, Her Chits were as white as a' young lamb's fleece, She sailed long *lnce from the port of Youth— Her master was Love—and her name was Peace. And, like all beloved and beantiful She faded In distance and doubt away— With only a treinbleof snowy wings, She floated awaaliko, adowa [be bay, Carrying with her a precions freight-- All I bad gathered by years of pain ; A tempting prize to the pirate, Fete— And still I watch Err her back again. Watch from the earliest morning light, Till the pale stare grieve o'er the dying day, To mud the gleam of her canvass white Among the islands Which gem the bay. }lnt she comes not yet—she will never come To gladden my oyes and earn more— And my heart grows hopeless, and taint, and dumb, As I watt and watt on the lonely shore. Kaewius that tempest, and Unmoved storm, Have wrecked and shattered my beauteous hark, Rank nee weeds cover her wanted form, And her sails are tattered, and stained, and dark. And still with a patiance that is not hope, For vain and empty it long bath been, sit on the rough shore's rocky slope, And watch to see if my ship come in. RUINED.

"It was the third day after my husband's funeral," spid the widow, "and I was so stun— ned by his sudden death that I could do nothing but sit and think over it, and try to realize how it could be so. Only the Biinday before he had been sitting with me, watching the baby, as he sat in the sunshine, laughing and clapping his little hands, as the shadows of the trees were flung across the hare floor, and moved by the passing breeze. Now the child was sitting in the same spot, the warm October Bun streaming in on his bright curls, and making him look so pretty—so like a picture: but the father was gone from us forever. "It seemed to me I must see his dear face once more: that he would surely lift the latch and come in, and lake our child up, and say, as he so often did, ' Mother, what would you take for this little bother?' Even the baby missed him, and would come and stand at my knee, calling Papa ! papa!' until I thought my poor heart would break. The two oldest cbilliren were at school, the rest were out playing, so that I was quite alone. By and by the baby was tired of his play and came and got into my lap. •. Mamma cry—mamma mustn't," lie lieped out, and wiped my wet face with his little chubby hands ; but I could only hold Lim closer to me, and then cry more bitterly. "Just then Mr. and Mrs. Lorrimer drove up in their handsome carriage. They lived not far off, and were our richest neighbors, When I had invited them in and dried my tears a little, they seemed at a loss how to begin the conver sation, but Charlie had slid away from my aide, and went and stood at the lady's knee, and, pointing to her heavy gold bracelet, said, 'Pret ty—pretty,' in his childish way. She took it off and gars it to him, saying : ' Won't you come to be my little boy, Charlie ?' " My mother's heart took fright at once. They had no children, and I seemed to feel as plainly as if they had told me, that they had come to ask for one of mine. "No, no, mother couldn't spare him," I said, quickly snatching Lim away—almost rudely, I fear. "My dear woman," began Mr. Lorrimer, "have you thought seriously of the impossibility of your getting along with five children under tvielve years of age ? It has required all your husband's efforts to make a living for you—how can you hope to do it without him i" "We offer,' joined in his wife, " to take the most helpless of your little ones, to give him all the advantages we would our own child; and surely you must see that God's hand is in it i that through us heintends to help you." "I need not tell you how long I withstood all their arguments. But et litet, unman by their entreaties, I consented to consider tho matter. I never mentioned their, visit to any of the child ren, and I had changed my mind almost every hour since I had seen them. At last, convinced that it was for the phild's good, I consented to give him up. When I went, to dress him to go, my resolution almost failed me. I lingered over every article I put on him, and made every dear curl over and over before I could get it to please me; and I kissed the little white shoulders until they were all rosy.' But at length he was ready, and I thought he never looked so pretty. He was fail of animation, for he was old enough to know what it meant to go a riding, and he clap- ped his hands and laughed aloud at the horses as they were driveu up. 1 handed him to his new mother, (the children supposed that he Ws.!t to come bnek soon,) and he never even looked as me. Oh, how jealous my aching heart grew! " When I came back into the house, the first thing toy eyes fell on *as his cradle. I could only throw myself on it and sob aloud Then came the trial of telling the truth to the child ren. None of them seemed reconciled, and I felt that the worst was to come whr the two oldest returned from school. I alums; dreaded to meet them, especially Willie He ris like his father, so quiet and calm outwardly, but hiding beneath his apparent coldness the strongest, deepest feelings. But the others went to meet them as they came hen*, and I was pleasantly disappointed in the way the oldest took it. Ile seemed to feel that I bad done it for the best, and tharhe must bide his 'own sorrow for my sake. Ile was more thoughtful for my comfort, gentler than ever, only very still and grave. "The day ended, as the longest will at last, and it came time to go to bed. I had taken Willie down stairs to sleep near me, since his father's death, and the other children slept just above us. Well, when I came to lie down, there was the empty pillow. Baby had always laid Lis little rosy face as close to mine as he could get it, and slept with one little warm hand on my neck. All my grief broke out afresh when I thought of him. Willie raised up at last, and said, earnestly: "Mother, it's Charlie you are crying for, isn't it?" "' Yes,' I answered. I know it's for the best; but ob, it's so hard to give him up r " Mother,' continued the when father died, we knew it was all for the best, because God took him from 118 ; but I have been think— ing ever since we laid down how poor little Charlie must be crying for you, and how God gave him to us, to love him and keep him ; and now you have given him away. If He bad meant him to he Mr. and Mrs. Lorrimer's baby, wouldn't lie have given him to them at first ?' " "The child's words carried more weight wth them than all the arguments of say rich neigh bors. After considering a moment, I said, im• pulsively : " Oh ! if I only hail hint back, he should never go away again, no matter how poor we might be.' "The moon was up and shining so brightly that it was almost as light as day, and presently Willie said: " Mother, it's only half a mile across the fields, and they won't go to bed for a long time at, Mr. Lorrimer's—let us go and get Charlie. Why, mother, I seem to hear him crying now :' "Urged by the child's entreaties and the fund promptings of my own heart, I consented. I think I never walked half a mile so quickly in my life, and neither of us spoke until we reach ed the mansion. Then we stopped a moment. for breath, and sure enough, we could hear the baby screaming at the top of his voice. We went round to the eitting-room door and knocked. They seemed half frightened when they saw who it was, but asked us in politely. A hired nurse was walking with the child up and down the floor, trying to pacify it. Mrs. Lorrimer had wearied herself out, and was lying on a lounge. "'Come to mother.' Willie said ; and be brought the little fellow to me at ones. "How he clung to me, still sobbing, yet EMU ing all the while to find himself in my arms " I cannot give him up,' I said, a. last, when I could get my voice clear. You mu:A, let me take him home.' "They evidently thought me fhe silliest of women ; but their cold words only made me the more determined, and we started back in less than half an hour after we came, I carrying the baby in my arms all the way. " When I bad leld him in bed, not fast. asleep, but still sobbing, and he reaching out his little hands to feel if I was there,•l said: " God helping me, come what. will, I will never part with one of my living children again And I never did. "I need not tell you how wild with joy the rest of the children were were when they found the baby in bed next morning: they almost fought over the little fellow; and from that day forth their greatest pleasure was to amuse Charlie and have hint with them. "When the affair came to be known many blamed me, and many favors my rich neighbors might have done mo they withheld, I think, for my folly, as they called it. But a few poor wo men like myself, that had always nursed their own children, said I did right. We had many trials, and often scarcely a crust of bread in the house; but our hardships only bound Us the more closely together. "All my children proved comforts and bless ings to me; God took care of one for me; but as Willie said, we knew that was for the beet. The rest married in the course of time and left me; but the prop of my old days, the one whose industry and management gave me this plentiful and comfortable home, has never left me since the day I gave him away."—Little THE LAST GAME OF CARDS. In the year eighteen hundred and—never you mind what—the present writer was at collage, and in his very first term his moral nature re ceived the following shock : The ohuni (let me call him Briston) that I had made for myself, after the manner of collegians —my own familiar friend—l discovered to be not only no better than he should be, but a very great deal worse. A Gomm% acquaintance of ours sickened, and grew dangerously ill. Such things make an impression on youth, to whom the - footfall of death is terrible, even at another's door, and I feared as well as grieved. I went to see the sick man, of course ; I even read aloud to him Sometimes, and spent by his bed side a few hours that might have been more agreeably passed on the banks or bosom of Isis, but, I feel now that I had much to reproach my self with in that matter, although I flattered myielf at the time that I wee doing my duty— and more. On a certain Sunday, after a lung afternoon's walk, I called on the invalid, and upon entering his bedroom, was beyond measure astonished to find him playing cribbage wit Briston. The sick man laughed at my astonish ed looks, but Briston went on playing, as th.ltigh that occupation required the whale of his .. , ten Linn. I said nothing at the time ho: I made a mental resolution to avoid the soeie of my ill chosen friend for the future. I was not strait [VOL.

We met at the funeral of the poor follow in question, and I am bound to say that Beiston seemed a good deal cut up, but that was the last I saw of him—for afterwards, if we pas ted one another in the street, we did not even bow—for half a lifetime. A few years ago, however, a certain well known religious society requested my assistance in holding a missionary meeting in my parish i it was to be attended by several clergymen who had distinguished themselves in their profession, ill very trying circumstances; who had gone through many perils among the heathen, and dared the pestilence and the sword with little enough of worldly recompense. A newly ap pointed colonial bishop, their leader, was also te be present, of whom most persons had licaid something, but nothing to his prejudice, as I be lieve ; a man both good and great, who, having had the choice of a pleasant life or a useful one, chose the latter—a saint of these days, indeed. When Iremembered his toile, his hardships, his experiences by land and sett, I felt ashamed, as I welcomed him to my little parsonage, of its easily earned comforts and appliances. I could not help drawing a humiliating comparison be. tween this veteran (who was about my own age, however) and a feather-bed soldier like myself. Ins modest diffidence overwhelmed me. lle spoke not a word of his own sufferings, but only of the church's need. The clubs and spears, and other tokens of savage life which the society had caused to be sent dawn, with a gentleman to explain their nature, rather shocked his sen sitiveness; he. submitted to the exhibition with out remonertance but evidently without approval. It was his characteristic to blame no man, if possible, and certainly not one moved by good intentions. Only once, when something severe was said against certain missionaries of anoth - er denomination, whose field of action was also his own, the bishop interrupted the speaker some what authoritatively "There is no alnico of time,' he said, "so great as that passed in abusing other people Late that night the bishop and 1 were sitting up together, talking over !he events of ihe day• It , It is strange," said f, " but I seers to recognize your voice quite woll, altitougi. not your lea- tures."

" But to play at cribbage with a dying mat !" urged I, aghast with the very reminiscence. "Yes," observed the bishop, reflectively, "I do not think, if the circumstances should recur, I should do so now: indeed, I have-forgotten how to play ht cribbage.

LORD LYNDHURST John Singleton Copley, Baron Lyndhurst, of Lyndhurst, in the county of Hants, England, Peer of the 'Realm and ex Chancellor, who death has just occurred, was born in Boston, Massa.' chtmetts, in 1772. lie was the son of an artist, who enjoyed in his time considerable reputation. His family having quitted the United states af— ter the recognition of their independence, young Copley was educated in England, where, in 1804, he commenced his career in the W.. After having for some time professed liberal opinions, he entered Parliament under the auspices of the Tories, and became successively Solicitor Gen eral (1819), Attorney General (1826), Master of the Rolls (1827), and Lord High Chancellor (1827). Ile was the first American who ever held that office. Ile held the Channellorship until the fall of the Wellington Ministry, in IPBO. After that event he attached himself to the con servative party represented' by Sir Robert Peel, and returned with him to office in 1884 and 1841. Hitt speeches were full of force, brilliancy, and sarcasm. and his summaries of Parliamentary sessions are said to have exercised great influence ou public opinion. When in 1846 the Peelites were conipelled to resign, Lord Lyndhurst pub licly doctored his political career to he ended. Nevertheless, he often rook part in the labors of the House of Lords, when he was always listen ed to with attention. The exposure of Prussian policy, which he made in 1856, proved that he bad not then lost any of the qualities of the ora tor and the statesman. We are not aware that he ever revisited his native land, nor have we seen any expression of sympathy on his part for the cause in which the northern Statue are on• gaged fie died in the 92d year of his age, with his faculties unimpaired, having witnessla the entire career of the United States.. ' THE HOUSE OF ROTHSCHILD The Loudon Globs gives the following inter esting Recount. of t he ripe nod pregont position of the money icings of Europe, the famous house of Rothschild: Among all the congresses bell this summer of prinecs, lawyers, musicians; schoolmasters, social science men, political economists, and a hundred others, one very notalie meeting has almost escaped public attention. A few days ago our Paris correspondent told ue that a congress of the members of the illustrious house of Roth - Schil3. has been sitting at Paris. The purport of the meeting was nothing lees than to re arrange the dominions of the great banking dynasty. In one word, the great object of the Rothschild congress was to reduce the five branches of the house who now rule Europe to four, and following the example of Garibaldi, to strike another sovereign of Naples from the list ui reigning monarchs. Henceforth there are to be but four kings of the house of Rothschild, with secure thrones at •London, Paris, Vienna and Frankfort. It is now exactly a hundred years since a poor Jew called Mayer Anselm, made his appearance at the city of Hanover; barefooted, with a sack on his shoulder, and a bundle of rags on his back. , Successful in trade, like most of his eo.religion ists, he returned to Frankfot t at the end of a few years, and set up a small shop in the "Jew lane," over which hung a signboard of a red shield, called in German roth-cehild. As a deal. er in old and rare coins, he made the acquaint ance of the Serene Elector of Hesse Cassel, who, happening to be in want of a confidential agent for various open and secret purposes, appointed the shrewd-looking Mayer Anselm to the post. The Serene Elector, being compelled soon after to fly his country, Mayer Auselm took charge of his cash, amounting to several millions of tlorins. With the instinct. of his race Anselm did not for- get to put the mouey out on good interest, so t. at, before Napoleon was gone to Elba, and :he illustrious Elector had returned to Cassel, nie capital had more than doubled. The ruler of Hesse Cassel thought it. almost a marvel to get his money safely returned from the Jew lane of Frankfort, and at the Congress of Vienna was never tired of singing the praise of his llehretv agent to all the Princes of Europe. The dwellers under the edge of the Red Schield laughsd in thcir steevss ; keeping carotid - Ey to thernselves the great lac:: :hat the elm:dor:a teue million i'..orins had brought them four millions of their own. Never woo hane6ly a better policy. Mayer Auselm died in 1812, without having the supreme satisfaction of hearing his honesty extolled by kings and princes. Ilr. left. five sone, who succeeded him in the banking and money lending business. and who, conscious of their social value, dropped the name of fineelm, and adopted the higher sounding one of Rothschild, taken. from the signboard over tho paternal haute. On his death bed their father had taken a solemn oath frem all of them to hold his four millions well together, and they have faithfully kept the injunction. But the old city of Frank fort. was too narrow a realm for the fruitful sowing of fetic , millions ; and, in consequence, the five were determined after a while to extend their sphere of operations by establishing branch banks at the chief eitica of Europe. The eldest son, Angelo:, born 1773, remained at Frankfort ; 'the second, Salomon, born in 1774, settled at Vienna; the third, Nathan, born 1777, went to London ; the fourth, Charles, the infant terri6ts of the family, established himself in the soft climate of Naples ; and the fifth and youngest, James, born in 1792, took up hie residence at Paris. Strictly united, the wealth and power of the five Rothschilds was vested in the eldest born; nevertheless, the shrewdest of the sons of Mayer Asmara, and the heir of his genius, Na than, the third son, soon took the reins of gov ernment into his own hands. By his faith in Wellington, and the flesh and muscle of British soldiers, he nearly doubled the fortune of the family, gaining more than a million sterling by the solo battle of Waterloo, the news of which he carried to England two days earlier than the mail. The weight of the solid millions gradually transferred the ascendency in the family from Germany to England, making London the me tropolis of the reigning dynasty of Rothschild. Like the royal families of Europe, the mem larre of the house of Rothschild only intermarry With each other, ;Melee Rothschild married the daughter of his brother Salomon ; his son Ed mond, heir apparent of the French line, was united to his first cousin, the daughter of Lionel, and grand-daughter of Nathan Rothschild ; and Lionel again—M. P. for• London, gave his hand in 1836, to his first cousin Charlotte, the daugh ter of Charles Rothschild of Naples. It is un necessary to say that, though these matrimonial alliances have kept tho millions wonderfully 0- gather, they have not improved the race of old Mayer Anselut of the Red Shield. Already signs of physical weakness are becoming visible in the great family. So at least hint the French papers in their meagre notices about the Roth schild congress at Paris. From all that can be gathered out of a wilderness of canards, thin feels, and thick fiction, it appears that the sovereigns of the Stock Exchange met in confer.. once for the double purpose of centralizing their money power and widening their matrimeninl, realm. In other words tee five reigning kings, descendants, according to the law of primogeni ture, of the five eons of Mayer Aneelm, came to the decision'to reduce their number to four, by cutting oil the Neapolitan branch of Charles Rothschild,' while it was likewise decided that permission should he given to the younger mem bers of the faintly to marry for the benefit of the race, beyond the range of first coueinship. What line led to the exclusion of the Nottpclitan line of Rothschild seems to have been the con stant. exercise of a highly blameable liberality unheard of in the annals of the family. Charles, prodigal eon of Mayer Anagra, actually present ed, in the year 1846. ten thousand ducats to the Orphan Asylum of St.. Carlo, at Naples, and the son and heir of Charles, Gustavus. has given re. pealed Ogee of his inclination to follow in the footsteps of hie father. Such conduct, utterly unbecoming the policy of the house of Roth schild, could not be allowed to pass unnoticed, and accordingly—we quote the rumor of Paris journalism—the &cher/nee of the Neapolitan lino has been pronounced. However, Baron Gustav us do Rothschild is not to retire into private life, like famous Charles b., with only a cassock on hie shoulders and a prayer book in his hand; but is allowed to take with him a small fortune of 150,000,000 francs, or about six millions ster ling—a mere crumb from the table of the de scendants of poor Mayer Anselm, who wandered shoeless tbrough the electorate. of good Ring George the Third. It is certain that no romance of Royalty Is equal to the romance of the house of Rothschild.
