I love the hnn)rin(r hammpr,
The whirrinjr of the plane,
The crnsliin? of the bnpy saw,
The crenkinjr of the crane,
The rinirintr of tho anvil.
The jrrutinjt of the ilrill,

The whirling of tho mill,
The buzzlnf- of the apindle,
The rnttlitifr of the loom,
The pnfliii- of the enpino,
And the fan. continul boom

The driving of the awl

I love the plowman's whistle,
The reaper', cheerful fopg,

A he spurs hi stock along ;
The bustle of the market mini,
As he hies him to the town ;
The halloo from the tree-top,
As the ripened fruit comes down
The busy sound of the threshers,
As thev clean the ripened grain.
And the imsker's joke and mirth and glee,
'Neath the moonlight on the phtiu.
The kind voice of the dairyman,
The shepherd's gentle cull
These sounds of active industry,
I love, I lovu them all.
For they tell my longing spirit
Of the eurnestness of life;
II ow much of all its happiness
Comes out of toil and strife.
Not that toil and strife that fuintetli
And tmirmiireth on the way
Nut that toil and strifn that groanetb.
Beneath the tyrant's sway ;
But that toil and strife that springeth
' From a free and willing heart,
A strife which ever bringeth
To the strivur all his part.

THE GOVERNESS.
BT T. A. KIMBALL.
"Waktkp. a Governess. Anolv at No. 22.
Melville Street, Baltimore."
'Shall I iinnlv for the sitnntinn 1" mnacrl
Ella St. George, ns she thoughtfully laid the
newspaper, in which was the above advertise
ment, upon the table; "mv lit ties tock of mo
ney will soon be exhausted j I must come to
i me decision quickly, and I may bo fortu
nate enough to find a good home." And she
fell into ft painful reverie, and thought of the
happy time when she had no tare for the fu
ture, wiien a kind Inther had protected her
front every ill, n fond mother had gazed with
pride anil ahYctinu on her, anil her brother
had lovingly twined his Cugers in her golden
cnrls.
Tho tears started to her eves, tin ho
thought "where ore they now l" From her 1
little window, she conld see the white marble
tli"t headed her father's and mother's grave.
Anu sue naa never hennl Iroin her brother,
or seen him, since the time, five years before,
when, on the evp of his departure for Austra
lia, he had cut off one or the lot ks she prized
so much, and pictured to her the future, and
the hnppiiifss that awaited them when he
should have become rich.
Mrs. Allen had just settled hereeir in the
library of her comfortable home, for n. quiet
morning, having given orders that she should
be denied to all callers, with the exception of
the npplicantsforthesitiiHtinn of governess.
The bervant opened tho door, und ushered in
a tail, graceful girl, apparently about eigh
teen. She looked very beautiful as she en
tered, her auburn hair hanging in rich pro
fusion, her largo bine eyes beaming with
intelligence, and the purity ofher complexion
enhanced by contrast with the black habit
she wore. Mrs. Allen arose in some sur
prise, and awaited tho object oNier visit.
"Madam. 1 understand you ure in want ofu
governess t"
'Ah ! yes ; pray lie seated. You saw my
advertisement in the paper. I presume ?"
"Yes, nmilHin."
"Can you teach the nsnal branchp of an
English education, with the addition of music,
I lu'ian and French t"
"I think eun. Madam. I am a proficient
in music, hiiiI can tench singing and the rudi
ments of Flench uu Italian."
"Ah ! Would yon oblige me by singing.and
accompanying yourself upnnthe piano forte ?"
s.iid Mrs. Allen. "We will proceed to the
drawing-room, if yon please," and gracefully
rising, she led the war.
E la seated herselfat fhe beautiful instru
ment, und commenced singing, with great
swe. tnes. 'The light or other days."
Sirs. Allen said. "you sing sweetly: that
song is a favorite with me. I think if mv
terms suit yon, 1 shall like you very well.-.
My daughter are of the respective ages of
nine, twilve and fifteen, anil the salary I
thought of giving is two hundred dollar rt
yenr."
Ellu accepted the sitnation.
"If ynn like." resumed Mrs. Allen, "you
can come :his evening. You will take yonr
meal in the nursery, with the children, with
the exception of dinner. Mr. Allen insists
upon the children coming down todiuner;
of ennrse yon will accompany them."
Ella assented, and taking leave of Mrs.
Allen, promised to come at sev;u o'clock in
the evening.
She now proceeded to the little cottage,
where she had hnardedsinceher bereavement,
and buie.d herself the remainder of the day in
making the necessary arranuementi for her
change of residence. Having completed
these, and finding she had still an honr at her
disposal, she strolled towards the little grave
yard that contained the remains of her pa
rent, and she almost wished that her strug
gle in lire was over, and that she was quietly
sleeping beside them.
The time for her departure at last arrived:
and stepping into the carriage she had ordered
wm soon conveyed to the stately looking
honso that was, lor tho present, to bo her
home. .
Mrs. Allen and two of her daughters had
gone out lor the evening, and Mis Lucy, the
yowiigest, was in bed. Misa St. George was
informed that she was to share Miss Lucys
room, snd was glad to retiro st once. Luev
was sleeping, and E1U thought, a she gated
upon her fair, sweet eooutenanee, that sho
would not hav much troabls with her. Has
tily nadrossing, she Joined her little compan
ion j and fatigood with tho exertions of tho
i
day, she was soon in a sound slumber. The
next morning, Mrs. Allen entered the school
room, accompanied by her two daughters,
Ellen nnd Gcnevra, whom she introduced to
Miss St. George. "You have already made
the acquaintance of Lucy. I preceive," she
said ; "I sholl leave them entirely to your
own judgment, as my time is qnite taken tip,
and I hope yon will get on well together."
Miss St. George hoped so, too.
Twelve months glided awny hnppily.a Mr.
Allen expressed himself highly gratified with
the improvement of his daughters: and their
mama was glad to have the responsibility off
her hands. They kept very little company,
and with the exception of a Mr. Stanley, a
constant visitor, Ella had not seen any stran
gers during her stay.
Herbert Stanly was a handsome, intellec
tual looking man, about thirty years of age,
and possessed considerable property in the
South. He had never had any chance of
conversing much with Ella, as she left the
room immediately after dinner, each day,
with the two young Indies ; but lie was par
ticularly 'utteutive to her during dinner, and
evidently udmired her.
"Mamma, do you not think Ella very hand
some t" said Lucy one day to Mrs. Allen.
"I don't kuow, child ; what makes you ask
mo T"
"Well. Mr. Stanley said to Po that he
thought her a lovely girl that she had the
grace of a fairy, and the prettiest blue eyes
he had ever seen, fa sum no tnougnl so
too, and so do I ; don't you think so too,
mamma?"
I don't know what Miss St. George is
doing, to allow you to plugne me now," ex
rluitited Mrs. Alien j "go up stairs, directly."
We have finished our studies for this
morning, mamma.
lell Miss St. George to walk out with
yon. then."
fjla little dreamed of the storm that was
brewing overhead, us she dressed to iro out.
with her young charges. Lucy looked very
sad, and felt afraid she had got her gentle
governess Into some trouble, though she
could not see why her mamma should be so
ug'y.
It was a lovely morning, and they walked
towards the old mill, gathering the wild flow
ers on their way ; Genevra playfully insisted
upon dressing blla s hair with the llowers,
'just to see how they looked." she said, "us
nobodv would be cominir thnt wnv to inter.
rupt them."
J hey were thus pleasantly occupied, Ge
nevra, in making the governess look like the
Uueen of Mar, and tJWn and Lucy bring
ing her flowers, when they were startled by a
deep toned voice, syying, "Good morning, la
dies." Ella started' to her feet, and the color
rushed to heMemples, as she preceived Mr
Stanley, smiling at her confusion. She tried
to disentangle her hair from the flowers, but
Genevra bad fixed them in so well, that nei
ther she nor her governess could get them
but.
The gentleman proffered his assistance,
though he said it was a pity to take them out,
they wept So becoming to her. They now be
gan to thitik of returning to the house, and
Mr. Stanly sniu he was going to dinrt with
them, And with Miss St. George's permission,
ho would accompany them home. Genevra
smiled archly nl her governess, and bounded
away, followed by Ellen and Lucy.
Mr. Stanley and Ella entered into a pleas
ant conversation, and his animated counte
nance showed how much he was pleased with
his fair companion. They reached the house
just as the dinner bell sounded, and sho and
her pupils hastily ran up stairs to arrange
their dresses.
After dinner, the ladies retired, as usual,
and Mr. Stanley strolled into tho library, and
through the door communicating with the
: conservatory. He had not been there long.
when bn was aroused by the sound of voices
, in the lihjury, and he heard Mrs. Allen sny :
"I insist upon your leaving my house this
j evening. Miss St. George1 1 thought, when
j I engaged you. that you were a respectable
person, und not a detestable flirt."
j Ella indignantly repelled the accusation.
I "I tell you," exclaimed Mrs. Allen, "that
your conduct towards Mr. Stanley was truly
snameiiii, and lie might well say, 'that you
were a disgraceful flirt !"'
"Madam, I cannot believe that Mr. Stanley
would say so, as be has not hud any opportu
nity of judging ; nnd as to 'flirting; with him,'
1 cannot tell what you ineuu."
"Never mind that. Ho said so. and re
member, ynn leave my house to-night !"
Ella answered haughtily, 'let it be so then,'
and was about to leave the library, when Mr.
Stanley entered, from the conservatory, and
begged her to stay a moment.
"I am sorry to have to contradict yon," he
snid, addressing Mrs. Allen, "but "l think
Miss Ella anything but a "flirt," and I think
she is. indeed, not suitable for her present
situation ; she might (ill a better one."
Mrs. Allen flounced ont of the room.
"Miss Ella," said Stanley, as he seated
himself by her side, "will you permit me to
ask a few questions, in a spirit of friendship,
without attributing it to impertinence t"
"Certainly."
"Where do yon think of going, upon leav
ing Mrs. Allen's 1"
"I have not decided j my dismissal has been
so perfectly unexpected."
"My mother would be delighted to make
your acquaintance. Miss Ella, and you would
be very comfortuble with her for a few weeks.
Io not let any feeling of delicacy induce you
to refuse this temporary home. I am at pres
ent staying at a hotel, and would feel grati
fied if you would allow me to convey you to
Evergreen Cottage this evenihg."
Ella felt uncertain what to do. She did
not like to refuse Mr. Stanley's offer, he
seemed so earnest and respectful in his desire
to serve, antl she finally consented to remain
with hia mother for the present.
Stanley said ho would come for her in an
hour. Accordingly, at four o'clock (ninth to
Mrs. Allen's annovunce.) a carriage drove up
to the door, and Mr. Stunley alighting, in
quired if Miss St. George was ready. Aud,
having taken leave of her young charges, and
promising to write to them, Mr. Stauley
liolped her into the carriage, and they soon
found themselves in tho cheerful little parlor
of Evergreen Cottage, his mother's pretty
residence.
He tut rod need Ella, and explained the cir
cumstance that had transpired at Mrs. Allen's.
The old ktdy welcomed her with great cordi
ality, aod assured her she would fuel happy in
her company as long as she would stay with
her. blie then rang the bell fur tea, and soon
after, Herbert, looking at hi watch, said be
bad an engagement, and must leave them
but h would cull in to see them in a few
day.
When Ella cam down, tho next morning,
sho fuuud Mr, btanlev sittiug at tha break

"Good morning, my dear j how did JOtt

tached i "For Miss Ella, with Herbert Stan
ley's compliments."
"O, how very beautiful !" exclaimed Ella,

Mrs. Stanley smiled, and remarked that
iieruerl was always fond of flowers.
A week had passed away, and Herbert
Stanley bad not been to his mother s cottage,
but each morning he had sent a boquet for
Ella. It was a fine evening, and the ladies
were seated at the window, pleasantly conver
sing, when a barouche drove np, and Stanley
, , ... . ...
oowen. ana smiieu, as ne aiignteu.
"Well, ladies, how do you got on? Ah 1
Miss Ella, vou are ruininir vonr eomnlcxion
by staying in the house. Will you not ride
with me, this lovely evening? Come, it will do
you good ;" and coming nearer to her, he
said, "I have something particular to say to
yon, and may not have another opportunity,
as J leave lor tlie south in a lortniglit."
Ella's cheeks were rosy enough, as she left
the room to prepare lor the ride. Mie was
soon ready t Stanley assisted her into the
barouche, and waving their hands to Mrs.
Stanley, were soon out of sight. For some
time they rode on in silence, Ella admiring
the scenery, and Herbert apparently lost in
thought. At length, arousing himself, he
said t
"Miss Ella, I told you I should have to go
South in a fortnight ; I shall probably remain
two or three years ; but I cannot go, without
saying how much I esteem how fondly I
love you. Dear Ella, will you be my wife j the
light of my southern home ? If you refuse, life
will indeed be a dreary blank ;" and he looked
anxiously for an answer.
Ella trembled, and said : "Mr. Stanley you
forget the difference of our stations in life.
Your mother "
"Will be delighted," he said. "Dear Ella,
say at once that you will accompany mu to
the South, as my darling wifu.""
She was confused ; but Stanley construed
her silence favorably to his wishes, and ten
derly drawing her shawl more closely around
her, he turned the conversation upon indiflcr-
cnt subjects, und they were soon once more ut
Mrs. Stanley's. They entered the parlor to
gether. Herbert's countenance wus radient
with happiness. Ella was going to run up
stairs, but be, gently detaining her. said :
"Dear mother, allow me to introduce you to
my promised brido I"
The old lady was very much affected, and
said : "God bless you, my children 1 May you
ever be happy'
And now, need we say how beautiful Ella
looked, in her bridal robe of pale blue satin
and white lace, and the violets and lilies in
her hair ; Or how proud tho handsome bride
groom looked of his lovely bride ? nnd how
the long lost brother returned to witness their
happines8f No 1 We will leave all this to the
imagination of our readers, and drop a cur

Have preached from time to time,
And by their rubid teachings have
Of drinking made a crime.
Yet we don't mix our liquor, boys, 4c.
Still, in spite of all their foolish laws,
We'l take our daily horn,
And won't give up so easily
Our friend John Barleycorn.
For we've known him now for many yars,
And always found him true,
And to give him up so easily
Is a thing we'll never do.
So dou't mix your liquor, boys, 4c
We heard one time about a man
Who suddenly had died.
And to find the causes of bis death,
The Jury long had tried.
Until his stomach was cut up
And on thn table laid,
When a chunk of ice before their eyes
Was then und there displayed.
So dou't mix your liquor, boy's, 4c.
Then the jury saw qnite plainly
The reason of his death ;
Too much water in his grog he took,
Which freezing stopped his breath,
Beecher, Chopin, Tyng and Greeley
May drink water when they please,
But let them keep beside the stove
When the water begins to freeze.

Battle Amono Bens. Terrible Slaughter
of the Invadere. The Toledo (Ohio) Repub
licnn relates the following as having occurred,
a few days ago, in that county .
"A new swarm of bees came out of their
paternal hive and gathered around their
young queen, in the warm sunlit atmosphere.
But instead of going to some neighboring
tree or shrub, and forming a hanging cluster,
as has invariably been the rule with all pre
decessors with whom we have ever been ac
quainted, they settled ou a hive and began a
murderous attack upon the peoceablo in
mates. '!'be unsuspecting workers were taken by
surprise, and many of them were killed by the
invaders before they became fully aroused,
when the couflict became quito obstinate.
The fact that most of tho working bees of the
hive were out gathering honey, gave the new
swarm all the advantage, and, though the
buttle lasted all day, they finally triumphed.
Thousands of dead bodies were dragged to
the entrance aud thrown ou tho ground each
hour."

English had, at Odessa and at Euikale. under

Cbacrow. June 14. Tho Euiticrur of

The Crimea correspondence, down to tho

All accounts agree that there isavast utiiount

Sebnslopol.
SEBASTOPOL AND THE CRIMEA.
From tho Loudon Times, June 14.
It seems impossible that Sebnstopol can
hold out much longer. Tho official despatch
es from Kertch stnte that recently large con
voys or grain nnd flour have been regularly
despatched thence to Sebnstopol. Our rea
ders ennuot have forgotten the graphic de
scription given in a recent letter of our f po-
cial correspondent in the camp above Scbas
topol, of tho array of wagons and piles of
sacks, apparently containing grain or flour,
which ho could see through his glass ou the
heights to the north of tne harbor.
These were, there can be no doubt tho
Kertch convoys: and this source, whence
Sebustopol would appear to have been ex
clnsivuly provisioned of late, is now cut oil'.
We are not disposed to build on tlio uuau
thenticated rumors which have, been flvinir
about Sebastopol, of despatches captured nt
Kertch winch contain most lumeiitable ac
counts of the ravages of disease among thu
garrison of bebastopol. iiut these are two
passages m the communication or our specie!
correspondent, which wo publish le-duy, that
are pregnant with meaning. Ou the 26lh
ult he writes :
l lie itussians nave noon nnrying an unu
sual number of dead on the north sole the lust
few days. These b:trial plares on thatsidu of
the harbor aro expo.ul to our view, and with
a good glass, not only thn recent graves can
bo distinguished, but also the pin-ties nt
work, excavating; or performing tho last
writes ot sepulture."
On the Mill ho again remarks :
"Tho Russians are still observed to bo very
bnsy about the grave yards, on the north sid'u
of the harbor."
. At the highest of tho threo grave-fields
for tho term "grave yards is hardly tippro
priale, as tney are not enclosed us many as
seven curts were observed to be standing at
one time to-duy. Several parlies also have
been noticed making fresh graves.'
These interments are not of tho soldiers
who I ave fallen in battle, fur they aro nui.
formly buried whore they rail."
Our correspondent, thtrerore, naturally
concludes that thu numerous dead carried cut
to the "grave-fields" ou tha north orSebnsto.
pol have been, to a great extent, ihu victims
of disease. It is beyond dispute, then, that
the garrison are being ussailed by sickness
and famine from within, at the same time
that they are being pressed by their human
enemies from without. Aud this pressure
fr m without must uow be sensibly felt.
After tho rapture of the Mamelon, and the
works extending from it to uureenin Uav.
that part of Sebastopol which is situated on
tha east side of the military harbor, cannot
be much long' r tenable. Its capture will du-
prive the Russians of their ureeuiils and prin
cipal barracks; and what is scarcely of 1,-ss
importance, it will leave the ships, which still
remain in the iulot of Sebastopol, denuded of
all slrclier Tront the shots and shells or the
Allies. Already Sebastopol totters to its
... . ..- . . i
fall. Nor Is tne pos lion ot i'io jtussinn
Crimean army in tho field much more secure.
A simultaneous advance of tho Allies from
Eupatoria anh Kertch would compel it to
concentrate itself upon Sebastopol ; and for
this force to be cooped up iulhesouthwestern
part of the Crimea is to bn exposed to the
same famine that is already telling so fear
fully on tho garrison of Sevastopol. The
Crimea is lost to Russia
Nor is the full measure of the humiliation
to which tho Muscovite govornma t I a al
ready been suhiected. Tin) occupation vt
the Sea of Azoff by tho flotill , and ti e evoe
uation of Anapa by th H issiuns, bus re
established the independence of Circassia.
Threatened by tho warllk monntaineer in
. . ' . .a .! an:..
tront, and by tho naval lorce oi id Aine
on their Sauk and roar, th Ruisiuo stations
on the Kutau cannot b maintained, tueir
garrison most fall back on tho lino of the
Don.
la a abort tim Ronla will not hold en
foot of land oath of th Lower Don, , th
north shores of tho Sea of Azoff, tho Putrid
and Black Seas, and the Lower Danube.
Should Rnesia sue ot this moment for peace,
it would be mildness to restore any teftito:y
south of this line to her. Sebustopol, a Bri
tish Minister has declared, is astun n g in
uce to Constantinople as long as its fortifica
tions Are not razed.
But if Russia is allowed to retain the
Crimen, whnt gnamnteo can Europe liiive
that these fortifications will not be recon
structed, even though they should be razed at
present? Again, it has lieen admitted from
the beginnin!.'. that hnd Russia been allowed
to extend its conquests over all tho shores of
the ftuxuie. that sen, enclave wit lun mission
territory, must of necessity have become a
Russian lake. The sumo holds good of the
Sea of Azoff. To prevent it from remaining
a mere Russian lake, it is necessary that some
other independent community, or communi
ties, possess a portion of its shores. On
these grounds we maintain thnt even ut this
moment in the present position of affairs
peace ought only to be granted to Russia on
the condition that Blie relinquishes all claims
to the 'rimea and to the lands between tho
Black Sea and thu Caspian, south of the lino
or the lower don. But Russia will not sue
lor peace yet. It is true that her mercantile
claeses begin to be severely pinched ; it is
true that the numerous section of nobles who
regard Moscow ns their centre and capital,
and stand aloff from active life, are becoming
mutinous ; but the official cluss, civil nnd mil
itary, in Ahosc bads nil real power is vested,
t uiinot afiord to lose any of their foreign con
quests. One snd all or them are deep in
debt, and depend upon employment for their
ubsistence. They can only obtain the meaus
or indulging those luxurious habits which have
become second nature to them, by draining
the tributury province of their substance, as
was the case with the courtiers of Imperial
Romo in itsdecadelicc. Inveterate gamblers,
they ure ever ready to stake nil on tho huz
urd of a die, and they will peril the existence
of the Empire rather than relinquish their
emoluments. Russia would nt this moment
reject peace, ir afforded on the terms we have
indicated ; und Russia will hereafter, like
Tarquin, have to purchase a worse bargaiu
at a higher price.

Hopes ofai Heir to the Throne A mngni-

11th, in the Hotel da Villc, by the Prefect
of the Seine to the K ing of Poi tugal. Queen
Christiuiia. the Princess Mathilda, tho Lord

persons were present.
The most interesting intelligence refers to
her majesty the Empress. Dr. Locock, the

suinmoned by telegraph to Paris, where urter
consultation with Drs. Duhois and Conncati,

The King of Sardinia is about to proceed

On the evening of tho 18th an attempt was
mftde to as?asuate Cardinal Antouelli.
The attempt lulled, und thu assassin was or
restud. Count Ciateldcura has set out to
assume tho government of Sicily.
All accounts Bijreo that there is a vast
amount of disease und despondency in the
garrison of Sebastopol. Privato letters and
linciimuiits from Kertch give a fearful account
ol the sullering ol tho Russian army, as well
from wounds as sickness. Tho frequent bu
rials wich are continuing to bo mudo in the
cenietiries on the north side, confirm tho in
funnatiuii on this subject.
lnrorniHtion is said to have been obtained
that the Russians have secured a communica

traversing the Isthmus of Perekop, by meuns

A PEnajEVtRISO SUITOR.
A young mnn who lefllhisclfy about seven
years ago, to engage in the pastorinl pursuits
of Australia, was, like thousands more soon
out. nuuucnij nuracien oy me gold fever
and proceeded to the diggings, where he was
rather successful, and he soon afterwards for-'
warded the moans for three or his brothers to
join him in his senrch for gold. Having er.
fected that fraternal partnership, ho opened
a store, and began to think of a former
"Hume" thnt had wormed his heort in Old
England, but which had never been fanned
by him or attended to during his long ab
sence, lie selected his choicest nuggets'
and forwarded a bng worth 50 to England',
'for the young lady and her brother to come
and join him in thu goldfields. Thetcmpting
treasure reached her hands, but her heart was
engaged to nnother, who hod gone ont to
America on a voyngo of discovery, and had
not written to her for nearly twelve months.
In this dilemma of doubt siio pondered, and
her brother pleaded. At length the brother
selected a sweetheart to accompany him, on j
the party of three persons mgaged their
berths, paid their fare, and forwarded their
luggnge to tho seaport, from which they were
to embark for the southern hemisphere"; but
before the bride stepped on board.herAmeri.
can lover suddenly appeared nnd detained
her, till tho vessel had sailed without her
her fare paid, luggage gone, and friend-, too !
But "the course of true love neve? did
run smooth," and so she nt length consented
to be married to the present lover, on tho
ground probably that "a bird in tho hand is
worth two in the bush ;" but the absent one,,
finding she was not invoiced to him with the
rest of tho cargo, instantly took ship nnd start
ed for England. After a pleasant voyage of
three months, he reached thu abode of Ins
ficklo fair one. A few hours of powerful
pleading subdued the heart of tho inconstant
one, and the gold digger at once proceeded to
buy tho licenso and tho ring, and the marriage
ceremony wus performed before tho other
confiding suitor could bo acquainted with the
tact, me happy poir are now waiting lor a
vessel to convey them to their far-off" home ;
the bridegroom intending to purchase, in
honor as a wedding present to his wife, tt
handsome revolver, for the safety of herself
and home, orstoro intent. Thisentcrpiising
young man we trust will find nil right on his
arrival at home. Oxford ( .,) Chronicle.
