THE DEAD STJUMEB.
Ah ! how die cams nnd went ! io stealthily
That ono can tnak the short-lived periods teem,
Ercn with their wreath of blooms and song of birds,
- Ho other thnn a dream.
And yet the summer has withhold no gift
Such a. Uod annually sends. The grnteful sl.ower,
Tho glorious sunshine, and Ihe healthful breeze
Have blessed each passing hour.
The see 1 time and its cheerful promises
Of rich-reward for labor hare been given,
With luscious fruiti and Honors, like cuLscrs died
With tli snoel breath of heuven.
Evon now, while wrapped in royal drapery,
Lifelera upon her bier the summer lies, .
The hills, as if unconscious of her fate,
btill wear their rich green dye!.
So quiolly she left u, and so fair
The blufhing blossom! looked that Inst sh kissed,
Wo did not deem that nny whero on earth
Bo soon she would be missed.
But now the sunlight falls with paler beams,
And fndJor look upon tho tender grass ;
And winds, ah me, tho plaintive, wandering winds,
Chant dirgos as they pans !
While tho lone cricket by my cottage door,
All tendency to lighter moods restraining,
Ilrenks the deep slillnoss of this autumnal ov
With tho rythmical complaining.
Somewhere a summer waits Hint In due lime
Will cnirn ond smile upon the dead one'i sleeping,
And open into bloom the folded bud
Which spring bus in her keeping.
Ami those vtho wait and n alch will greet with choer!
Each joyous signal of her queenly coming,
And naturo will break out in songs again,
Sweet as tho brooklet's humming.
Thus one by one the hurrying seasons pass,
Each cycle narrowor to our bumnn seeming.
Till, glancing upnurd, lo ! the brief years lie
Like some delusive dreaming.
Only the good and (rue, of all our act.
Like timid sturs, from out tbo darkness sloaling,
Strike their pure lights along tbo slope of timo,
Lite's real worth tevealing.

on tho night before tho ;rcnt holiday, the !

kers in grotusque garments ; antl boy blow- I
ing liorus ; everything mid iverybody jubi- j
lant with joy nnd nieiiiineiit. But now tho i
I streets were almost deserted, for the suow
j lay a foot deep. In vain the shop-windows

I choicest stores. Here nud there n newsboy.

drove almost noiselessly tluourjh tbu whito 1

of tho public square, ami thr icicles rat t let'. '
j clown Iroin tho eaves. It was as desolate a !
I winter's niyl.l as you ever iwv. j
j Suddenly, a bare footed uttle firl, thinly i
; clad, and shivering with cold, turned a cur- j
i ner, anil came face to face w ith one of the
j most brillianUy-lirilitcd toy-pimps in that .
' quarter of the town. Site I. ad evidently '
been abroad to fjiuher fuel for a scanty lire, :
1 fur she carried nu old, toiu basket on her
arm, in which were- chilis' and other bits of,
' icftite wood, which had been picked up
; evetywheie and anywhere.
At sijjht of tl'2 dazzling window ami of
lha glories it revealed, the poor liLtlu thing
btoppeii. Her eyes ptiarklcd witli joy. licr
i breath came short, for a moment she for- !
got the want and misery at home the fire- '
less room, the empty cupboard, the sick
; luothcr und could think of nothing but the
i lovely things the window contained. Oh ! j
jthat doll, thnt glorious, gorgeous creature; i
j the spangled dresses that seemed covered !
; with diamonds ; the funny, funny mask, i
j She had never had a Christcias-trce herself, 1
j but filio had heard of such things, and she i
: ga?ped, breath IpsfIv, gazing at the doll. j
j "Where will it go, 1 wonder ? To some ono I
! who lives in a beautiful house, I expect, and
! has everything sliu wants, even to pies uud '
j turkeys "for Christmas," she added, in a
; Kinging little voice. "Ob, UcaiT' i
That sigh reached the ear of a tall, dark ,
man who was passing, leaning upon tho aim !
nf another gentleman, lie looked clown, at '
first with wonder, and then with pity, upon j
the street face and eves ; upon the little red :
hands that were grasping the basket ; the
poor, little hands that should have been
whilo and dimpled ; upon the chips with
snow melting about their edges ; upon tho
cleanly though thin garments ; upon the bare
feet; nud then again into the deep, wistful
eyes.
"What n prclty child!" he thought.
"Poor little thiug I" And he asked, stopping,
his voice softened to tenderness, "What is
your uamu, little one ?"
The child, roused from her absorption,
looked up, staitlcd, but seeing a kindly face,
sue answered, uioppiug a courtesy :
''Lucy, sir I"
I.ucy I It was the name of his only sister,
whom he had not seen for mauy a long year;
ut since he had gone away, alter the death
of their parent, and the sale of the old home
stead up in New Knglaucl, determined to
make his way in the world. What a train
of memories it called up I lie thuught of
the happy old days, and of sweet Hetty Muss,
and then of the utter despair that followed,
when his father died a bankrupt, and his
mother followed of a broken heart, and some
far-away relatives came and took his sister
out of charity, and old Deacon Moss6hut his
doors against him. The shame and anguish
ol it all returned ou him as, sharply as wheu
uu, icji l(, a tail oi twenty ; out uacK
also came the memorv nf Li sister, and lie
almost persuaded himself, for a moment, that
the chile) before him looked like his "little
Lucy" had looked at her age. There was a
Vl expectation in ins voice, as he
said, '
"Lucy what, dear P
"Lucy Petligrcw."
Ah ! it was a name he had never heard
IJut, remembering that hit sister's child
would not bear her mother's maiden name
he asked again, '
'And have you always liver beret"
"AWays. As long as I can remember.
atber was a soldier, you know, aud was
killsd in the war. Now there is nobody but
mother snd me."
He looked again at the child. The fancied
resemblaucs to his sister had faded. The
"little Lucy" of long ago had blue eye and
flaxen hair; both hair and eyes here were
browp.
There was n end of the dream, then 1 lie

hand in his pocket, took out 0 greenback '
and offered it to the child, saying,
"Don't you want some toys, my dear ?"
The child looked down. Her face was
very red. Suddenly she seemed to take a
resolutionshe looked up and said,
"Oh, sir 1 it's five dollars 1 It would buy
mamma everything. She is sick, you know,
nnd I ought "to bu home this minute ; it was
so wrong of me to stop here. If you please,
sir, I'd much rather spend it for her," bhe
said, rapidly and incoherently.
"So you shall, dear I Hurry home now, nt
any rate ; but first tell me whero you live ?"'
"We live in Carpenter stiect, No. 10.
And I may keep the live dollars, may 1, bit?"
"Certainly. Vott shall have a dull, too. 1
will bring it myself, to-morrow "
"Oh! will you, sir f" she interrupted, her
eyes dancing.
With these words, she gathered lier thin
shawl about her and hurried away.
The gentleman, who had carried on this
conversation with Lucy, took the arm tf bis
companion again, and said,
"How all this brings back tlid past to mo!
You have often heard me ask of Hetty Mos.
I suppose sho is dead long ago," l.o adrlcdj
with a sigh, "or married, which, for me, is
worse, ilut nt sixteen sho was tho loveliest
creature I have ever seen. I never shall for
get 'he day, af'er my father nnd mother had
been buried, that 1 went lo see her, intend
ing, even then, to go away and try my for
tunes, but, rxperting tltftt she would bid me
Hod speed, r-.ud that her lather, who had
always been kind to me, would do the same.
Ah, Chariey I we must all, sooner or later,
learn hard lessons; and I learned my first
cruel one that afternoon. The old man met
n.o himself. Well, I won't dwell ou it. He
declined to let me tco Hetty ; called men
iiggar's brat ; v. oi je, lhe'chil-.i of a bank
rupt,' and bade mo begone. Kvtr since then
I have had less faith in human nature."
"No, you haven't," answeicd bis friend,
bluntly. "You think you have. Hut, old
fellow, you are too good to talk snch non
sense, and, .'lease God I you'll be happy yet,
though not wilh Hetty,"
"My first task, now that I nm rich, and
home at last," answered the other, "will bu
to get on the traec, if I can, of poor Lucy.
After I left America, I continued to write
for yrnrs, but never getting any answers, I
fin'ally gave it up. Christmas onro over, I
shall start for the old homestead ; but I fear
all clue to her is lost."
Meantime, Lucy was hurrying home, feel
ing herself a new being, la spite of the
suow, her bare feet, her cold, numb fingers,
we question if there was a happier child in
the city.
"See, mother ! oh, sec !" site cried, when
sho got home, w ith a great soli of happiness,
"wo shall have some Christmas, after nil ; tt
gentleman gave it to me, and said it was live
dollars. Oh, mother! mother ! I'm so hap
py ! five whole dollars to spend for Christ
inas 1 Why, I never heard of such n thing,"
and her face fairly glowed. "Isn't U a -ft
miracle, mamma i"
"My dear child, it seems like one !" suid
her mother, holding out her wasted hand,
aud regarding the money.
The sad, sweet face lighted up with a
glow of thankfulness as she listened to tho
little narrative
"Oh, my darling '." the cried, "It was sent
for shoe anil stockings for your poor feet.

and I prayed in agony to the dear Lord to
help us; and this is the answer."
"But I don't, want the shoes, mamma, I
want ChristmuV siil Lucy, with a disap
pointed face. "He told me ta go in and
buy toy. We ucver tlid havo a Christmas,
and I wanted to seo how it seems."
Very soon there was a ltid knock at the
door ; and whea it was opened; in came two
stout men vi;h an enormous basket between
Ihcm, and put it dowu ; and there it sal
looking up into Ihe willow's fas, with great,
round eyes of potatoes and squashes, aud
bulging packages thai told of plenty.
"Who is this lor usked Lucy's mother,
'luito pale.
"U'h for a widow by the name of Pelti

"I don't know who seut it it's paid for,

The dour shut, the men had vanished.
"Oh, mother! we're dreamingjust as

delighted child, daucing about the babltct.
"Why, there's everything there; why, lha

"Call Hetty Moss, child," said her mother,
inking back in her chair, quitt overcome;
and presently Hetty came in,' a staid, sweet
looking woman, not over thirty, with soft,
dewy blue eyes, and lips that always looked
smiling.
"Why, Lucy, you've been your mother's
good angel to day," Joaid Hetty, stooping
over the basket and lifting the packages.
"Sure enough, here's Christmas for you;"
and the took an enormous turkey from the
basket.
Thero was auothcr knock nt the door and
a tall man entered, and stood there on the
threshold. The sick wuman looked up, and
a great cry, the ciy of uncontrolled joy, rang
through the room.
"Hubert! Hubert !"
The man was on his knees beside his sister,
his arms about her, kissing Lur eyes, her lips,
her forehead.
Explanations came brokculy. In spito of
bh first disappointment, something kept
telling the stranger that "little Lucy" might,
after ull, be his sister's child. Ho could not
rest, therefore, until he had come to sec.
Ami Lucy told how she !'d married, but
her husband nud she had always been poor,
and how her husband had ive)i killed at
Antietam.
"There is my guardian angel," said the
tearful woman, at last, pointing to Miss
Hetty ; "you may thank her that I am yet
alive."
For the first time, cow, the stranger taw
theie was another woman in the room. Thero
was silence for the space nf a moment. Miss
Hetty Moss looked him straight in the eye,
her color llittirigscd returning, the breath
coming quick through her parted lips.
"It U you, Hetty but you do not remem
ber me," he said, hesitatingly, yet appeal
ingly. "Ves, I do, Robert," eanie with a quick
gasp. Oh, Robert 1" and as he rushed for
ward, her hands were in his, her head upon
hi shoulder.
Then came Hetty Moss' story. She had
always been faithful to bcr love. Uor father,
after some years, had died insolvent Hetty,
after hi death, left the village where she
had been born, and had come to th gnat
city in search of employment. Here, by one
of those inscrutable decrees of Providence
that the ignorant eU chance, aha had cem
across Robert's sister, now $ widow, and
almost penniless. They had thrown in their
lot together. Hetty had skill with her
needle, betides ion taste in dre, and h

j Uevera! years ago a young lady iu Tuzewe'.l
I county was wooed by a young man. He
j obtained her cornet aud, the consent of the
I old folks, but three days before the wedding
she took a freak into her head nnd went off
! and married another man. The young man
1 was heart broken, and packed up his effce.ts
and went to New York city. There, bt: hid
i his grief, buried himself iu business nnd en
gaged in speculations, was successful and
' became wealthy. A younger sister of the
girl that had jilted him, moved by sympathy,
commenced a correspondence with him to
endeavor to mitigate his sorrow. The cor
respondence became interest inn. The young
girl grew up, and as years rolled on ripened
into great 'nuauty. The sight of her photo
' graph awakened in the young man's bosom
the love that ho had supposed crushed for
i ever. He proposed to her and was accepted.
Her father was a widower and was anxious
, lo get married himself as goon as his daughter
was out of the way, so ho urged the match
lot ward. The means of the lover now ad
mitted a brilliant wedding nnfi preparations
wete made for it. They were to be married
last Wednesday in Style, and depart imme
iitalrlv for Now York city.
A few days nsro tho expectant brido re
; ceived a letter from her betrothed, stating
' that he had entered into a speculation thai
; w ould keep him iu the city, so that he could
i not possibly be with her at the time appoint

. for a day or two. He ftlso referred to the
i time when lie had expected to be united to
; her sister. Provoked to think that he still
i remembered his former love, the young lady
. wrote him in a passion, and silting down at
the 6 rune timo wrolo to a cousin of hers, a
I farmer ia Iowa, who had long loved her,
telling him that she had broken her engage
i mei:t, relating the circumstances to him, and
ending by s.iying that she was all ready to
be niurried, and if ho would come, nud be

Her name must be written in the "Hook of

every meraeulo of earthly greatness is lost

which have been clothed with the mantle .

Wilh such a treasure, every lofty gratifi

life will be but a pleasant visit to earth, and

iut trump shall be heard, aud sleeping
millions awake to judgment, its possessor
shall be presented faultless before the throne
of God wilh exceeding joy, and a crown of
life shall wear away.
Such is piety. Like a tender flower plant
ed iu the fertile soil of woman's heart, it
grows, expanding its foliage and impart

Uod.
Follow the star it will light you through

that he would see thee. He has seen thee.

In 1850 the total product nf the mines
according to government records distribu
ted tliroituh twelve State, was valued at
$7,17:1,750; of which some $3,21)8,35!, or
upwards of per cent., was the value of
tho anthracite mined I)jt the Plate of JVnn- i
sylvania. In ten years' lime, between 1SS0
nnd 1800, including return from sixteen
States and Territories, (and from C22 estab
lishments, of which the aggregate capital
nmeunted to eMUB.STO.) in the ycir 18G0,
the product swelled to 6,213,080 tons, or
105,432.000 bushels of bituminous coal, aud I
8,11.5,812 tons ol anthracite, valued together
at 20,213,o:i". This shows an increased
voluu of not less than 113.009,887, or 102 per
cent, over tho returns of 1 850. The internal
revenue tax on all mined coal is three and a
half cents per ten. Iu 1804 tho ouiount
realized by Government from this source on
Pennsylvania's quota of 1,510,211 tons, was
$ 137, 11)4. Tho whole amount from tie entire
mining interest was but $572,430, which
proves conclusively that Pennsylvania alone
contributed over four-fifths nf the intnl re.
turns. Hut although this State monopolizes
the lion's share rd' the nnthracite fade, in
'muted quantities this same Coal is found in
the State of Rhode Island, Massachusetts,
. , as, .Missouri, Iowa and Illinois. Tho
antiitante conl region of Pennsylvania is
divided into three principal districts. First.
Jho Northern nr Wyoming district, whero
anthracite coal was first applied to practical
purposes I n.sre,.'...,. cumi'Mses tile (thick
ehinny, icsbarr,. Newpor, Pitlil(,n
Lackawanna, and Carbondaie, ia all an area
of 120 square miles, or 70,607 acres. It is
eclebruted for tho very hardest epc.ios of
white ash coal. As early as 1773 tho fust
cargo was shipped from t his region down the
Susquehanna to Carlisle lWrrack. Secondly.
The Southern or Schuylkill coal Dtld contains
three principal basins, and extendi on the
east from the Lehigh district nearly to the
Susquehanna ou tho west. This division
embraces the districts known ns the Lehigh,
TamaquB, Tuscarora, Sehuvlkill Vallev!
l'ottsville, Minersville, chvatara, Lyken's
Valley, Dauphin, together with several other
minor districts. lis area of workable coa!
la estimates to be 1C4 square miles, or 100.
000 acres. Thirdly. What is known ns tho
Middle Authracite coal region of Pennsvl-
vania extends from bhainokin to the Lehigh,
nud covers fully seveuty-threo acres of coal
land, or about 115 square miles, divided
between the two large basins of Mahonoy
and Shamokin, and a few smaller colleries.
and an eastern cluster of from twenty to
thirty smaller basins, such as Heaver Meadow,
Hazleton, etc.
The Cumberland mines were not worked
until 1812. The Scrauton were not opened
until 18"iG.
Of the relative valuo of the two co.tla, red
and white ash, the latter is greatly preferred
for domestic use for though "this latter
(anthracite) in consumption deposit more
ashes, the heat is thought to lie more intense.
Indeed the better qualities of untiii aeite have
been sufficient to decompose and burn water
when submitted in small quautiiics to its
ficrco heat. Riluminous coal leaves a red
nsh, und but li :!;of it. It burns with a
greater Hamn thr.i the former.
The manufactories arc tha largest consum
ers of coal. Next in order is tho ordinary
cooking range.

Tho editor of the Plymouth Rock wa3 in
Boston last week, aud while passing rp
Winter street a saw veritabIe'iGieciau lead,"
which lie thus describes :
Tho frame or figure upon which thepr
ttructure was fastened was apparently de
signed for a woman, though excepting the
height, the face, and the ordinary substitute
for a bonnet, there was nothing to indicate
Ihe form by which God illustrates female
beauty aud loveliness. The tlress worn we
of brown poplin, profusely trimmed with
magenta trimming, and this was spread
over a something very much the shape of n
charcoal luakci'a "raking-iu-basket," which,
being inverted, seemed to have been fasten
ed to the back of the person abovo the hips.
As a counterbalance the figure had in her
bosom rpparently Itvo halves of a large
sized Valparaiso squash, anrt, with a pair of
boot-heels some three inches high, nnd her
srm poU-e J so as to keep herself from top
pling over, this female caricature was tiyiug
to get over the sidewalk, workiug oue side
at a time, and holding tho headway by her
fife'.t, which seemed to drop into the bricks
very much like the pall or catch-drop in a
vessel's capstan. We elbowed our way
through the curious crowd to get in front
of this gradually moving figure, expecting
to see her shedding tears of bitter anguish
for having such punishment iufiictod upon
her, but instead we found her with a sort of
self -satisfied air such as is ordinarily worn
by shallow-brained women. Who tho crea
ture was or what she had done to deserve
such a punishment wo were unable to learn,
nny further than that this was a "Grecian
bend," or a lender.
WoNDF.UFt'i, Freak op Natche. .1 GiW
ifiVA fit.) 7eWx. One of tho most peculiar
freaks of nature ever exhibited nuywhere
may now be seen at Ames's Museum, on St.
Charles street. It is a young negress, about
fourteen yesrs of nge, with two distinct
heads. Uoth bends are perfect in form und
feature, each resting upon a separate neck,
side und side, facing to tho frout The two
faces are similar in feature and expression,
and what is most .wonderful is, that there
seems to be a seperato and distinct brain
organism, for the girl can bold conversation
upon different subjects at one and the some
time, tihe Is very bright and intelligent,
reading nnd writing with accuracy.
Two gentlemen were conversing with
this wondeiful girl yesterday at the same
lime, when the one addressing the right
head made some ludicrous remark which
threw that head into a paroxysm of laugh
ter, while the face on the left maintained an
expression of the utmost seriousness.
Whilo there is a dual formation nf the
head, there is but one trunk, the girl eating
aud drinking with both mouths alike.
A number of our first physicians hsve
visited this girl, and express wonder at her
peculiar organization. AT., Orleaiu J'icayun.
