A Friend.
BY MISS JULIA PLEASANTS.'
Commend me to the friend, who comes,
When I am sad and lone,
And makes the anguish of my heart
The sufierinjs of his own.
Who coldly shuns the "littering throng
At pleasure's-gay levee,
But comes to gild a sombre hour, ,
And give his heart to inc.
He hears me count my sorrows o'er,
And when the task is done,
lie freely gives me all I ask,
A sigh for every one.
He cannot wear a smiling brow,
When mincis touched with gloom,
But like the violet, seeks to cheer
,-. The midnight with perfume.
7 Commend me to that generous heart,
: Which, like the pine on high,
. Uplifts the same unvarying brow
To every change of sky ; " t
Wiiose friendship docs not fade away,
When wintery tempests blow,
But like the winter's ivy crown,
Looks greater through the snow.
We flies not with the flittering flock,
That seek the sourlhern sky,
.But lingers where the wounded bird
Hath laid him down to die.
.Oh, such a friend ! he is, in truth,
Whate'cr his lot may be,
A rainbow on the storm of life,
An anchor on its sea.
A Good Oae.

'Generally speaking,' began the youth,
'stories have what is called a moral to
them; and if you don't know what that
mean's I shall not stop to tell you '
'Yes, yes, we know,' ran in low mur
murs round.
'Well, mine has no moral, because it
comes too late.1 ana. his voice thrilled as
he spoke;
; 'and if it had, its uses would be
very doubtful.

may have heard that young fellows with
plenty of money do. Well, if you think
bo, you are mistaken. I wa3 a quiet,
studious young man, I might add moral,'
and his sardonic laugh jarred as bc-
.fore; 'and it would have been perfectly
true. I loved books, study, and peace,
I was a good scholar, studied music and
the arts, fenced like Augelo there is not

on his breast, though his eyes which were
burning with the pain of his strong agony,
were not moistened with a tear. They
had dried at the very fountains.

ried her off robbed me of my wife and
my child. This man this woman, were
my parents. I traveled night and day,
and arrived at their house in town.
'I demanded my wife! they called her a
designing, cunning girl and they said
something worse of her than I could bear,
and I silenced them, and made them
turn pale and tremble. I demanded my
child. They knew nothing of either. I
cursed them both, and quitted the house,
never to return to it more.
'I need not tell how long after, or by
what means, I traced my Alice through
stages of wretchedness and penury, till I
found both mother and babe, my wife
and child, dying on a mean pallet in a
parish workhouse.
'I could have called curses from heaven,
and fires from hell to avenge this immit
igable wrong for what had this pale,
crushed, tender dove done to win such
au atrocious injury? But when I saw
her pale, thin cheeks, and heard her
nioanine, and saw her wasted babe on
the half-starved breast of the woman I a
dored, a3 devotees adore heaven, I stifled
my soul I shed no tears; I heard her
utter a cry of joy and pain, and then the
thin helpless hand wandered over my
head, a3 I laid it kneeling by her side in
that horrible hole, upon her breast beside
my child.
'Little Alice!' I said, 'little Alice, you
and your sweet babe shall live here.no
longer.'
'No, George, no,' she said. Oh, her
thin lips, how they trembled! 'No,
George, dear, we shall not live here long
not very long . Give me that
brandy, my lads!' said thc soldier abrupt
ly. 'To lose a parent to lose a mother
one loves to lose a friend one is devoted
lo to lose a don that has been your
companion for years, is all painful; what
was it is to this V continued the soldier.
'When I heard what she said I had a
terrible foreboding of the future. Was
it for this I had sought her? Was it to
see her die that I had moved the heaven
and the earth to discover her? If tears
were rain and not the bitter acrid shower
which scalded my face like a caustic,
roses would have sprung to life around
her dying pillow; and that golden liair

'Take my head in your arms, my
dear George,' she said faintly. 'Take my
child in your arms, too. Kiss me kiss
the baby. You love us, do you not?
God bless you! God protect you! Do
not separate us. Do not forget us. I
have borne much but I loved you so
dearly; and I forgive every one, as I
hope to be forgiven.'
The rough soldiers turned away, and
ono or two wiped their eyes furtively.
A few sturdy but suspicious "hems" soun
ded suspiciously, and they inverted their
faces.
"Little Alice," I said, "are you going
without me? Well, I wpnt wait long."
"I am only going before you," she said
and I felt that she was speaking the truth.
"I am going before you; clasp me closer
let me feel your lips: lift up my head
put my baby's mouth to mine, and
and so she died, my lads! and for an
hour after I held her baby in my bosom

! and again he went on.

Aa Election Story.
Ycar3 ago, in a certain county in Penn
sylvania, the northern part of which was
peopled by the descendants of Germans,
poliities were running high, though mere
ly on local questions. The opposing can
didates of the Whig and tho Democrat
parties were both lawyers. One a Dem
ocrat nicknamed Dignity Brown, and the
other a Whig, known to his brother law
years and thc public as Volunteer Davis,
and sometimes as ' With-all-duc-dcference
Davis.'
Election was drawingticar a meeting
was appointed by the Democratic wire
pullers, to be held in the upper portion of
thc county, for the purpose of making
sure of the 'Gorman interest.' Our friead,
Dignity Brown, had never bcon in this
region of his county to be known, nor had
the inhabitants been at court often enough
to distinguish one lawyer from another.
As witnesses they hated them all alike,
and as jurymen they admired all alike
He had never been among the.se people,
we say, but as thc contest was approach
ing, and the chances for Dignity's staying
at home or going to Washington being
evenly balanced, it seemed necessary that
the Germans should be aroused to a scuse
of their duty and danger. Accordingly
the call for the meeting had been pub
lished. Now on thc meeting day or rather
evening it happened, altogether acci
dentally, that our Whig candidate, Vol
unteer Davis, was returning from a con
ference with his friends of 'tho upper
end.'
Twilight was just melting into
night as ho drove up to the tavern where
thc meeting was held, at which he thought

blacksmith was half an hour making tho
pin, and that he should burn his fingers
so seriously in the job, that the appren
tice should finish it accidental that all
resulted in a detention of Brown for two
hours from the road.
In the meantime affairs wero approach
ing a crisis at Grundlo Town. ,:
Davis is beginning his peroration his
German friend3 are all car. 'Eellow
citizens, with all due deference to the o
pinion3 which men entertain concerning
I their own language, I frankly tell you
mat x can see ncitner wic nor sense-in
German.' Looks of astonishment from
his auditors. 'So much am I convinced
of this that I introduced a resolution last
winter against pitting out laws in Ger
man.' Much feeling evinced, and hero
and there a low murmur of dissatisfac
tion. 'But I intend this winter to bring
-forward a more strenuous rusulation. I
shall abolish German schools.' Cries of
'Trow him mit eggs?
'Sohlag him on the koff!1 and- similar
pleasant and re-assuring remarks camo
thick and fast. 'If a man can't speak
Engliah, I intend he shall have no vote!'
Donder and blitzen, donner mid dorio,
and the gentlest of the last arguments of
an incensed crowd, an egg spread its
golden hues over his breast like a gorge
ous sunflower growing out of his vest
pocket. It was time to be gone. 'And
with all due deference,' shouted he as he
made aretrogade movement, 'if any man,
after the year 1S36, teach his child Ger
man, I shall have him imprisoned I' Ho
had to run for his life. Imprecations,
stones, and clubs, were behind him thick
as hail, and the cloud whence they had
come was following.
The landlord, who having been busy in
his bar, had heard none of the obnoxious
sentiments of his favorite candidate, was
thunderstruck to see him flying through
the house, followed by the yelling crowd,
and not knowing how to gain a knowledgo
sooner spread himself between the pur
suers and the pursued, crying 'Lilber
Himmel, was is?' Tho crowd had no
time to answer, but the burly figure of
mine host obstructed them sufficiently to
give- Davis time to mount his horse, a
fleet little animal that could not easily bo
overtaken. ,
A pursuit was attcmptedbut the erowd
finding it in vain, sulkily dispersed with
out goiug'bick to the scene of the difli
